Interstellar Beast World: The Ferocious Beast Husband Has a Wild Mind

Chapter 228 The Duke of Milan's Favor

"Sang Qing's family members, come and sign the papers," the nurse called from the doorway outside the room.

The nurse's gaze swept around the room, and subconsciously settled on Jun Chenli, the second person from the left with an extraordinary air about him.

Jun Chenli got up, but instead of walking to the door, he went to the door of the inner room and gently knocked on it.

"Colonel Shi, family member's signature."

The door opened, and Shi Ying glanced at Jun Chenli before calmly saying thank you.

Jun Chenli raised an eyebrow, showing no surprise at Shi Ying's attitude.

It's a pity that among all the beastmen in the room, only Shi Ying is qualified to sign.

He had spent his life on the battlefield, enjoying great success and standing at the pinnacle of power from birth, yet he repeatedly encountered setbacks in front of Sang Qing.

They're both feline beasts, and he's even a phantom beast, so how come he's inferior to Shi Ying?

Jun Chenli sighed inwardly and went outside the ward for some fresh air.

Shi Ying signed the papers, and soon nurses and doctors came over to conduct further examinations on Sang Qing.

At that moment, Jun Chenli was standing by the window at the end of the corridor when he saw the nurse who had just drawn blood from Sang Qing pushing a trolley downstairs, seemingly waiting for someone at the door.

Jun Chenli thought she was waiting for a doctor from the laboratory, but instead saw a dark figure land, which transformed into a man in a black and blue casual suit.

Seeing this, the nurse respectfully took out an extra vial of blood from the trolley and handed it over, then quickly pushed the trolley away around the corner.

"Wait!" Jun Chenli rushed down from the second floor and blocked the man who was about to leave.

The man recognized Jun Chenli and bowed respectfully, "Your Highness, the First Prince."

Jun Chenli also saw the blue Shadow Guard insignia on the man's right arm. Her brows furrowed slightly, and a sharp look appeared between her brows. "How did you get here? The patient's blood sample is only used for specific tests and cannot be disclosed to outsiders. Give me Sang Qing's blood sample."

The shadow guard took a step back defensively, his voice flat: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, this is the Empress's order."

When Jun Chenli heard that it was the Empress Dowager's intention, he paused in his act of reaching out.

The shadow guard seized the opportunity, transformed into his beast form, and flew away through the air, carrying Sang Qing's blood sample.

Jun Chenli wanted to chase after her, but it was too late.

"Marshal, what's wrong?" Jun Chenli's subordinate caught up and looked up at the receding black shadow in the sky following Jun Chenli's gaze. He asked in confusion, "That looks like the Azure Shadow Guard."

Jun Chenli frowned. "You stay here. I'm going back to the palace."

After speaking, he left in a hurry.

The subordinates didn't understand what had happened and could only obey orders to return to Sang Qing's ward.

Just then, Duke Carly sent someone to deliver white crystal.

"This is white crystal, which has a nourishing effect on the female's spiritual sea. The Duke went to great lengths to obtain it, and I hope it will be useful to Lord Sang Qing." The orc dressed in a butler's uniform handed something to Shi Ying.

The doctor's excited expression spoke volumes about the item's value.

Shi Ying was also taken aback. Since it concerned Sang Qing's safety, he certainly couldn't refuse.

He took it and nodded slightly. "Please thank your Duke for me."

"Colonel, you're too kind. The Duke invites you and your wife to visit the Duke of Milan's residence when you have time." The butler smiled, bowing slightly in return, his manner perfectly measured.

Shi Ying had heard Sang Qing mention this before, and he knew that Sang Qing had also planned to go to the Duke's mansion, so he nodded in agreement: "Okay, I will tell my wife when she wakes up."

"Then we await the arrival of the Colonel and His Excellency Sang Qing. The Colonel may place the white crystal in His Excellency Sang Qing's hands, which will have a certain nourishing effect on his spiritual sea even if His Excellency Sang Qing is unconscious."

The housekeeper received a satisfactory reply, offered a few words of comfort, and then left.

Shi Ying had Youfei personally escort the person.

Jun Chenli's subordinates watched this scene quietly, speculating about the relationship between Healer Sang and Duke Milan, who would send such a valuable white crystal. Anyone with even a little inside knowledge would know that Duke Milan had been seeking the white crystal, and had led teams deep into the battlefield several times for it, demonstrating just how important the white crystal was to him.

Unfortunately, white crystals aren't so easy to obtain.

Not only do you need ability, you also need luck.

Star stones are already extremely rare, let alone the most precious white crystal among them.

On average, only one or two white crystals will appear out of every hundred star stones.

It is said that the Duke of Milan has only obtained one on the black market in all these years, and even then, half of it had already been absorbed.

Following the butler's instructions, Shi Ying placed Bai Jing in Sang Qing's hand and gently closed her palm.

Then he sat back down on the edge of the bed, intending to stay by her side.

"Colonel, you haven't rested for two days. Go and get some rest. I'll keep an eye on things here," Xiong Da said from the side.

Shi Ying shook her head. "No need."

"The doctor said that Therapist Sang will not be in danger, Colonel Shi, you don't need to worry, go and rest." Bai Xiao, who had just woken up, also comforted him.

"It's not that I'm worried about her being in danger, it's that..."

Shi Ying stopped halfway through her sentence. She knew everyone meant well, but she still insisted, "You all go out. I'll stay here and keep watch."

Seeing that persuasion was useless, everyone left the ward without lingering any longer, leaving a quiet space for everyone.

The best way to absorb crystal nuclei and star stones is in a quiet environment.

Shi Ying kept watch all night, but Sang Qing showed no signs of waking up and continued to sleep soundly.

I wouldn't say I was disappointed or not; at least I didn't run into someone else's arms.

……

Palace
The magnificent and exquisite hall was filled with the lingering fragrance of incense.

A colorful fish scale is inserted into the incense burner, its top half-burnt, glowing with a faint red light. It emits a sophisticated fragrance without smoke.

On the chaise lounge, a beautiful woman with a cold and aloof demeanor reclines, her smoky silk skirt partially concealing her long, snow-white legs, which are being gently massaged by a kneeling beastman.

"She actually managed to rescue him, ha~ Manzhu is really lucky." Jun Cixi narrowed her beautiful eyes, her gaze cold.

The tea spilled and scalded the orc's skin. The orc flinched but didn't dare to make a sound.

The handsome man's eyes flickered, and with great insight, he stepped forward, took the teacup from Jun Cixi's hand, placed it on a small table to the side, and then, ingratiatingly, picked up a cool cloth to wipe Jun Cixi's hands.

"Princess, be careful, it's hot."

Jun Cixi's hands were not wet with tea, and she let the male wipe them, without even glancing at the other servant who had spilled tea.

After wiping it clean, Jun Cixi withdrew her hand and gave the order.

"Someone, bring me the crystal core from this mission."

The subordinate quickly brought the items up, and Jun Cixi handed the crystal core directly to the beautiful male.

"Go back to Duke Heman's mansion and deliver these crystal cores to the Fifth Containment Center. While you're there, also find out what's going on."

The beautiful female nodded in agreement, opened the box, and discovered that there were actually five crystal cores inside.

"Princess, why are you giving them all the crystal cores?" the male asked, puzzled.

Jun Cixi glanced at them and said, "You don't need to concern yourself with this."

The male immediately lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, Princess. I spoke out of turn. I'll go find my mother right away."
