After everything finally calmed down, Su Qinglanâs emotions slowly came back under control. She wiped the last of her tears and looked up at her four tall husbands.All of them were trying to hide their red eyes from her. Some turned their faces away; others rubbed their eyes roughly as if something had gotten in them.
Su Qinglan felt her heart grow even more stifled. She stared at them and asked softly, "What are you crying for? Itâs all in the past now."
The five men quickly avoided her gaze.
Hu Yan cleared his throat and said in a hoarse voice, "Whoâs crying? Weâre not crying at all."
Shi Feng turned his head to the side. "Yes, thereâs sand in my eyes; thatâs all."
Xuan Long forced a lazy smile, but his voice was clearly choked with emotion. "Lan Lan, youâre seeing things."
Han Jue rubbed the back of his neck, his eyes still red. "Weâre fine. Really."
Su Qinglan looked at them one by one. Her heart melted completely. These strong, proud beastmen were all trying so hard to hide their tears for her sake. She felt both sweet and sour at the same time.
Wang Mulan watched the scene with gentle eyes. She leaned closer to Su Mingxuan and whispered softly, "You did very well in choosing husbands for our daughter. They are all good men."
Su Mingxuan smiled with pride, though his eyes were still a little red. "At least this is one thing I have done right," he said, his voice filled with satisfaction.
Wang Mulan felt much more at ease.
Looking at how her daughterâs husbands surrounded and protected her, the heavy worry in her heart finally lightened.
Even when she and Su Mingxuan were not around, these men would protect Qinglan with their lives. Each one had a good character and loved her daughter deeply. This was enough.
Just then, a knock sounded from outside the gate.
"Brother Shi Feng, are you here?"
Shi Fengâs eyes widened. It was his brotherâs voice. He looked toward the door and said, "Iâll go check why he came."
Before he could take more than a few steps, more voices and footsteps approached. Shi Feng went outside and saw Bai Ling walking toward them with Lan Lanâs three cubs and her own two cubs following closely behind.
The old healer from the Dragon Beast City walked with them, carrying a medicine bag.
Bai Ling smiled brightly when she saw Shi Feng. "Brother Shi Feng, we couldnât find all of you at the main house, so we came here. The healer prepared some special medicine for Sister Qinglan. You should take it..."
"Iâm fine. I donât need any medicine," Su Qinglanâs voice suddenly rang out as she walked out.
Bai Ling turned around instantly. The moment she saw Su Qinglan standing there healthy and energetic, her eyes widened in surprise and joy.
"Qinglan! Youâre finally awake!" Bai Ling cried out happily. She rushed forward and hugged Su Qinglan tightly.
Su Qinglan hugged her back and gently stroked her back. "Iâm sorry for making everyone worry."
Bai Ling shook her head quickly. "How can you say sorry? Itâs not your fault at all that you fell unconscious!"
Su Qinglan only smiled, but deep inside she thought, âActually... it was partly my fault.â
The old healer, who had been standing behind, suddenly pushed Bai Ling aside with surprising strength for his age. He stared at Su Qinglan up and down with a strange, shocked expression.
Su Qinglan also recognized him. Wasnât this the same old healer she had met before?
The old healer stroked his long white beard, his eyes narrowing. "You female... your life force was almost gone, on the verge of death. Yet now you are standing here, full of energy! Just what exactly are you?"
Su Qinglan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Old healer, what am I? Canât you see? I am a female."
The old healerâs face turned red with anger. He stomped his foot dramatically.
"Iâm not blind! Of course I can see you are a female! But how is this possible?!" he shouted, waving his hands wildly.
"Your life force disappeared so quickly, and now it has returned even stronger than before! You look healthier than anyone here! No one would believe you were unconscious just moments ago!"
He stroked his beard again, looking deeply lost in thought. "Just what kind of mysterious technique is this? Tell this old man right now!"
Su Qinglan smiled helplessly. She really didnât dare explain her dual cultivation secret.
"Old healer, I really donât know. I just fell unconscious and then woke up feeling very good. You are making it sound like some great achievement."
The old healerâs eyes widened. He pointed a shaky finger at her. "You female! You really donât want to tell me the truth?!" he shouted with an angry expression.
"This old man has lived for so many years and has never seen such a strange case! My old heart cannot take this kind of shock!"
Su Qinglan touched her nose awkwardly. She could see the old man was truly persistent and dramatic.
The old healer suddenly changed the subject. "Fine! If you wonât talk about that, then tell me this...I heard you helped that female in the Dragon Beast City give birth to a very large polar bear cub! How did you do it? That female and cub were both saved because of you! Speak clearly!"
Su Qinglan realized he was talking about the difficult birth she had helped with. Seeing the old healerâs shining, curious eyes, she could only sigh softly.
"Why donât you come inside and sit first, Old Healer?" she said politely. "I will explain everything that happened."
The old healer huffed loudly, still grumpy. "Finally, someone with sense! In this new generation, this old man has been standing for so long that my back is almost stiff!" he complained while walking inside.
Su Qinglan felt a bit embarrassed. She really should have invited him to sit earlier.
