44. Night 44 Patient

"Loading successfully! Lu Xi, long time no see."

The system's voice had already sounded in Lu Xi's mind. It took him a while to react, "What happened?"

"The system has detected a patient requiring psychiatric treatment. We are urgently awakening the intelligent brain. System analysis indicates the patient's condition is extremely precarious. Please cooperate with the patient's treatment."

The term "psychiatric treatment" was familiar to Lu Xi. In her world, it was already a part of medicine. They would place the consciousness of a patient with a brain problem into another world to stimulate their brain and promote recovery. However, this was risky, as the world they were placed in was random, making it impossible to accurately monitor the outside world and predict what would happen. Therefore, they stipulated that any patient in a critical condition must cooperate with the treatment.

No clergy member wants to encounter patients who need psychiatric treatment, but due to the high cost and harsh conditions of treatment, very few people can be treated in this way.

"According to Article 571 of the Clergy Law, anyone encountering a mental patient in need must be assisted. Please assist this patient with his treatment."

Lu Xi: “…”

Lu Muru looked at Lu Xi's unpredictable expression and said, "Lu Xi, as long as you help Lu's, Lu's can meet one of your conditions." Lu Muru extended the temptation.

Lu Xi looked at her and asked, "Any conditions are acceptable?"

"certainly."

"Well," Lu Xi turned to face her, "if I say, I want the ingredient list of QT-Z07..."

Lu Muru narrowed his eyes, obviously not expecting her to want this. The QT-Z07 potion was a failure and was used as poison by those poachers. This was undoubtedly Lu's mistake.

"Okay, I promise."

The Lu family made a profit by exchanging something originally useless for the awakening of an SSS-level cub. As for what Lu Xi was going to do with it, Lu Muru didn't care too much.

Lu Xi walked to the wheelchair and squatted in front of the cub, whose face was full of fear. The cub's curled up snake tail kept trembling, and its innocent big eyes stared at Lu Xi timidly. Her face was reflected in his eyes, and he saw her raise her slender hand.

"Woo..." He hid back in fear.

Lu Xi just wanted to rub his head and comfort him, but she didn't expect him to be so scared, so she withdrew her hand.

Yuan Sen's face has not looked good since Lu Xi left. He leaned against the door waiting for Lu Xi to come back. Later, when he smelled a familiar fragrance in the air, he looked up with joy.

The bamboo forest of the Lu family grew very dense, and the bamboo leaves rustled in the wind. A beautiful figure appeared on the path. She was pushing a wheelchair with a cub sitting in it. When he smelled the cub's scent, his face turned cold.

This cub was the one Lu Man brought with him today. "Miss Lu Xi." Yuan Sen walked up to her with a cold smile on his face. "Why is he here?" He looked at the cub with unfriendly eyes, causing the cub to tremble violently all over. The pressure from the powerful demon clan made him breathless.

"Don't scare him." Lu Xi protected the cub.

The mermaid clenched her fists tightly, her teeth creaking as she nearly broke the cub's neck on the spot.

Lu Xi saw his hostility, and she didn't know how to explain to him that it was not her intention to bring the cub back.

But she couldn't refuse...

"Asent, I want to take him back."

"Crack--" The ground beneath the mermaid's feet cracked, his face looked more terrifying than ever, and the air froze.

"Asen..."

"no."

Seeing that something was wrong with him, Lu Xi was afraid that he would hurt the cub, so she leaned over and whispered in the cub's ear, "Wait for me to come back."

After saying that, she went over, grabbed the merman's hand, and brought him to the depths of the bamboo forest. Looking at this merman who was usually good-tempered, Lu Xi knew that she had really made him angry.

The cubs seemed to have a special possessiveness towards the housekeeper, probably due to their fledgling complex when they were little, so she knew that he would be very resistant to the arrival of other cubs.

"Did they threaten you?"

"No, I..."

Just as Lu Xi was about to explain, she was suddenly grabbed by the shoulders. His black hair turned back to silver-blue, and his crystal clear eyes were filled with indescribable emotions.

It's anger, confusion, jealousy...

"I won't allow it."

Lu Xi stared at his handsome face. She knew he would be angry, but she felt something was wrong with the way he looked now.

"I brought him back for a reason." Lu Xi sighed, "I'll exchange it for the ingredients of the QT-Z07 potion. As long as I have this, I can definitely cure your eyes."

"I don't need it." He was unmoved. "I don't need anything that was exchanged for Miss Lu Xi."

Lu Xi knew how good he was to her, but based on her status as a psychiatric patient, she couldn't refuse. Refusing to assist a patient in treatment was illegal in her world.

"Asent, I have made up my mind."

Because some handovers needed to be done, Lu Xi stayed at Lu's for one more night. She slept very soundly that night.

Of course, the reason she slept so soundly was not just because of her good sleep quality. After hearing the distant singing, she felt as if she was gently wrapped in warm lake water, and her body sank lightly.

A figure walked into the room silently, sat down beside her bed, and gently lifted her wrist. Her slender wrist exuded the clear luster of white porcelain in the moonlight.

"Ms. Lu Xi..."

He lowered his head and bit her white wrist. With just a little force, she would be bitten to pieces.

But he couldn't do it...

The light biting as if to vent his frustration finally turned into an unwilling kiss, little by little, until he finally kissed her lips.

"Ms. Lu Xi, I'm very angry." He leaned on her and panted slightly, his fair skin turning rosy due to this long kiss. "When will you understand..."

In the next room, a cub who had just woken up from a dream curled up in fear in his quilt. He could smell the scent of a powerful demon coming from the next room. The scent was different from the one he smelled during the day, as if a scent that was deliberately left behind was impossible for others to erase.

The next day, Lu Xi got up very early, opened the door of the cub's room, and found that he was already awake and sitting on the bed. Probably because he had just woken up, he looked up in a daze.

Lu Xi didn't know that in the eyes of the cub, her whole body was filled with the scent of a mermaid, a scent that only males could smell, and it was filled with insurmountable possessiveness.

This is why the cub has always been afraid of her. Even though he is still very young, the snake clan has a very sensitive sense of smell. Even as a young boy, he knows not to get close to this female.

She has been occupied by someone.

Lu Xi didn't know about this, but the smell left by this kind of intimacy would dissipate easily and needed to be reinforced frequently. The most stable smell could only be left when there was true perfect harmony.

That's why it was not discovered by other monsters.

They got in the car and left Lu's. After returning to Yuan's apartment, Lu Xi called Ji Qiuhu and told her that he had obtained the ingredient list of the QT-Z07 potion.

"Very good, you did a good job." Ji Qiuhu said. As expected, Lu Xi always gave her surprises. "The human you sent here before just happened to want the ingredient list of the QT-Z07 potion."

"Xiang Chenglin? Has he made any progress?" Lu Xi promised to protect Xiang Chenglin and sent him to Ji Qiuhu.

"Not yet, but he is a talented person."

Lu Xi didn't know what happened to him there, but from Ji Qiuhu's tone, it seemed that he admired him very much.

"Okay, I understand your situation, but..." Ji Qiuhu pondered, "You seem to have taken in a cub?"

Lu Xi hadn't told her about this yet, but she already knew about it. It seemed that she was more informed than she thought.

I guess it doesn't matter if I don't make this call.

"In exchange for the list of potion ingredients." Lu Xi said, "You should know that this cub cannot awaken."

"Of course." After all, it was a demon cub. Lu had been hiding this matter, but it eventually escaped her eyes. "To be honest, I've been keeping an eye on that cub for a long time. I originally planned to let him replace the mermaid and become the hope of the Yuan family, but I changed my mind. Haha, you know..."

"Lu Xi, I have never seen such power, the power to destroy everything. No other cub can replace him. Only he can inherit that position."

This crazy tone made Lu Xi feel uncomfortable. She hoped that the merman could become the head of the Yuan family, but she also hoped that he would not be used by others. "Lu asked me to help this cub awaken, but to be honest, I don't know how to do it."

"Don't worry, Yuanshi will help you."

Ji Qiuhu arranged a new residence for Lu Xi. This time the residence was much larger and was a detached villa. In addition, two servants were sent to Lu Xi to take care of the cub's daily life.

This was a great help to Lu Xi.

"Miss Lu Xi, where are we going?" Early in the morning, Lu Xi took the mermaid out.

"Go to Yuanshi Real Estate."

"What to do."

"Find someone." Ji Qiuhu said yesterday that she had been sending people to look for a way to awaken the snake cub. After all, he was a good seedling of the demon clan, so how could she just leave him alone.

And this person is Yuanshi Real Estate.

Yuanshi Real Estate Sales Department was currently dealing with a dispute. One customer said that he had signed a subscription agreement for a house and paid a deposit, but another customer said that she had also paid a deposit for that house, and the dispute became heated for a while.

"What's going on?" the manager asked angrily. "Who handled this apartment? How could such a problem arise?"

“Yes, yes…”

"It's me." Su Qiman stepped forward, her face not looking good. "But manager, I've never met this Mrs. Li. I'm pretty sure I only received the deposit from Miss Wang for this apartment."

"Check the system and see who it was sold to."

"I found out, it's Mrs. Li."

"What? Impossible..." Su Qiman couldn't believe it. She slammed her hands on the counter and said, "Check it carefully again."

"It's really Mrs. Li..."

Su Qiman's breath caught in her throat. She suddenly looked at the woman standing not far behind the manager and pointed at her. "It's you."

That day, when Su Qiman was registering her information, she suddenly felt stomach discomfort, and Zhao Ning offered to help her enter it.

"Sister Su, what are you talking about?"

"It's you who did this." Su Qiman's face darkened. "I had a stomachache because I ate your cake that day."

"Cousin, look at what she said." Zhao Ning grabbed the manager's arm. "She's trying to pass the blame on to me."

"Zhao Ning, why are you doing this? I have no grudge against you." Su Qiman was so angry that her whole body was shaking.

"I didn't." Zhao Ning was in tears.

The manager frowned, "That's enough, this matter..."

"What happened?"

A voice came from the door. When the manager saw the man at the door, he was almost scared to death. Why was he here?

Su Qiman also looked towards the door. She knew this man. She often saw the manager nodding and bowing to receive guests. He seemed to be a senior executive sent by Yuanshi. And from behind him, she also saw two figures that she never expected to see.
