After having dinner, Lin Su went to Kane’s room to check on his recovery.

After two consecutive days of recuperation, Kane’s complexion visibly improved, and even the contracted beast that was previously weakened regained its spirit.

Upon seeing Lin Su, the contracted beast, Da-Hei, stood up and wagged its tail, showing affection toward him.

Lin Su reached out and touched its head, smiling as he said, “How do you feel these past two days, male father?”

“Much better than before. I have more energy, and I can endure the pain in my spiritual domain. Da-Hei is also in better spirits,” Kane replied with obvious anticipation. “Regarding the repair of the beast markings, when should we start? I feel like I’m in a good condition now.”

“In that case, let’s start soon. Male father, make sure you have the soothing potion ready, just in case,” Lin Su nodded. He turned and retrieved the soothing potion from a drawer, which had cost the entire savings of the family and even left them in debt. “What else do we need?”

“During the process, I’m not sure if there will be any pain. Male father, try not to move. If you can’t bear it, you can ask female father for help,” Lin Su advised. Then he added, “Female father, please also pay attention to male father’s condition. Let’s give it a try.”

With no precedents to refer to, they had to adjust the process as they went along, causing Lin Su to feel somewhat nervous.

Kane lay down, exposing the back of his neck.

At this moment, the beast markings there had not yet appeared. Lin Su extended his hand, and a faint green light emanated from his palm, instantly refreshing the surrounding air.

Lin Su controlled his wood-based abilities to enter Kane’s beast markings. The fragmented markings manifested on the back of his neck, and as the abilities were released, Lin Su sensed that the beast markings were like a bottomless pit. The wood-based abilities he infused were quickly devoured. Although he could perceive the damaged nodes that needed repair, he couldn’t connect them and restore their integrity.

Before long, beads of sweat formed on Lin Su’s forehead, and his face gradually turned pale. He stopped and furrowed his brows, saying, “This method doesn’t seem to work well.”

Upon hearing this, Su Jin, who was anxiously watching from the side, cautiously asked, “Does that mean it failed?”

Kane raised his head, his eyes filled with confusion. “But I feel very good.”

In fact, he felt exceptionally good, never before experienced such comfort in his spiritual domain.

“My ability should have a healing effect on male father’s beast markings. However, in this situation, I need to think it over,” Lin Su said, his face showing both confusion and exhaustion. Through the previous attempt, he clearly felt the markings’ desire for his ability, and after absorbing it, Kane’s condition visibly improved.

But as he tried to connect the fragmented nodes, he felt a sense of powerlessness, as if they were lacking some necessary medium.

Su Jin didn’t understand Lin Su’s meaning and asked with suspicion, “Does that mean there’s still a chance?”

“Yes, we were just trying it out earlier, and now we know there’s a problem. We need to find a solution, but it seems we’ll have to wait a bit longer before we can help male father restore his markings,” Lin Su explained.

“Don’t stress about it. I feel great now. Even if I can’t recover, it doesn’t matter. At least I can help you share some of the household chores. Can I…” Kane hesitated.

“It’s better not to. Male father, your condition seems good now, but you still need to take good care of yourself. After all, your body has been depleted for so long. It won’t be restored overnight,” Lin Su disagreed, giving Kane a stern look. “With me here, why do you worry? Just listen to Little Su.”

Kane awkwardly touched his nose and said, “Alright.”

Lin Su checked the time and stood up. “It’s getting late. You should rest as well.”

Su Jin escorted him to the door and advised, “Don’t stress too much. I’m already satisfied with your male father’s current condition.”

Lin Su understood that Su Jin was worried he would blame himself if he couldn’t cure Kane. He nodded and said, “Don’t worry, female father. Even if I can’t truly heal male father, I can still help him maintain his current state.”

Back in his room, William was not lying down. He sat there as if waiting for Lin Su.

His half-closed beast pupils turned to Lin Su as he entered.

The exceptionally fresh natural aura and the scent now emanating from the young vixen were much stronger than usual.

In fact, after observing and interacting with Lin Su during this period of time, William was absolutely certain that Lin Su possessed a purifying ability, and a special one at that.

Such a young vixen matched with him, a male of his kind, and for a moment…

Lin Su’s gaze swept over William’s raised canine ears and the slight furrow of his brows, and he asked with suspicion, “Do you have something troubling you recently?”

Recalling the strange looks William had given him when he returned several times before, Lin Su couldn’t help but wonder.

“Are you blaming me for always going out and not having time to accompany you, so you’re throwing a tantrum?”

Suddenly being asked this, William was taken aback, unable to differentiate for a moment, wondering if Lin Su had figured something out.

His expression seemed even more tense than before, and his pupils uncontrollably turned into vertical lines.

His ears were suddenly lightly pinched, and the young vixen tentatively asked, “Are you scared to stay at home by yourself?”

William’s other ear, which Lin Su didn’t hold, perked up. “…”

Seeing William’s expression instantly become awkward, Lin Su felt like he might have discovered the truth.

“Although you’re quite cute, and I don’t mind your current appearance, don’t be too clingy!” Lin Su said while sitting down and reaching out to hold the large tail scattered beside him, gently rubbing it as if saying, “I can’t help but indulge you.”

William felt that if he could put his tail down, Lin Su’s words would be quite convincing.

As he stared at the tail that Lin Su held affectionately, William suddenly found it very obstructive.

If there ever came a day when he didn’t have ears and a tail, would Lin Su…

Suddenly, his shoulder sank, and William instinctively looked at the little vixen leaning on his shoulder, feeling a gentle touch in his heart.

“Is there something that can connect my abilities and beast markings?” he asked.

William was initially confused about Lin Su’s dilemma.

But could abilities refer to his purifying power? Connecting the purifying power with beast markings… William glanced at the drawer next to him, where Lin Su had thrown a tube of S-grade contract beast blood.

Contract beast blood was the only thing that could activate beast markings. If there was something that could satisfy Lin Su’s request, it could only be that.

The next morning, Lin Su calmly climbed out of William’s bed. Such a thing had indeed become a common occurrence after experiencing it once.

However, just as he got out of bed, he noticed that he was holding something in his hand.

Upon closer inspection, he realized it was the tube of S-grade contract beast blood he had brought back before.

When did this thing end up in his hand? He subconsciously looked at William next to him.

Sure enough, William was also looking at him.

Their eyes met, and William suddenly pointed to his chest.

At first, Lin Su didn’t understand his meaning until he remembered the beast markings on William’s chest and suddenly recalled that he had asked William a question while he was half-asleep yesterday.

And he also remembered that William had mentioned that contract beast blood could activate beast markings. So, could they try using contract beast blood?

But S-grade contract beast blood might be too domineering for Kane. He vaguely remembered that Kane’s genetic level was only B.

To be on the safe side, it would be best to try with B-grade contract beast blood.

As soon as he realized this, Lin Su gave William a big smile. “Thank you, you’re really clever and beautiful.”

Caught off guard by the praise, William watched as Lin Su, excitedly ran out of the room. He raised his tail tip expressionlessly.

Well… he wasn’t that happy… ahem!

When Lin Su came out of the room, he saw Su Jin standing in the yard, staring in the direction of the Tang family. “What are you looking at?”

“Oh, you’re awake. I heated the soup in the pot. You can drink it directly.” After mentioning this, Su Jin finally answered Lin Su’s question. “I’m not looking at anything. It’s just that Xiao Feng’s parents came to find Tang Ran. It’s probably about that matter. Are you not going out today?”

“I still need to go out today.”

“Still going out?”

“I have some clues about male father’s situation. Let’s try tonight.”

Upon hearing this, Su Jin couldn’t hide his joy. “Have you really found a solution?”

“Yes, but I don’t know if it will work.”

“Even if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t matter. We’ve done our best.”

Just as they were talking, cursing voices came from the neighboring Tang family. The next moment, Xiao Feng’s parents were pushed out by Tang Ran, who pointed at them arrogantly, “You can forget about apologizing for this. I’m telling you, it’s impossible. Get lost!”

Xiao Feng’s mother was also hot-tempered and retorted, “We came to apologize because our families have a good relationship. Don’t overstep your boundaries. Given the current situation, it’s not necessarily who will suffer. If your Tang family had some dignity, such a situation wouldn’t have occurred with your own partner!”

Su Jin couldn’t listen anymore and turned to push Lin Su into the house. “Don’t listen to this, it’s dirtying your ears.”
