On the Ark.

"Of course, she's my customer!"

Lin Ye forgot the other person's name. No, to be precise, he didn't even bother to find out her name that day. He was completely focused on selling local specialties and successfully sold a third of the goods to the girl.

Therefore, he didn't have a strong impression of the girl, and her current appearance was vastly different from a few days ago. A few days ago, she was dressed in gorgeous clothes, beautifully made up, and had exquisite makeup. Now, however, she was disheveled, her ears and tail were bald and stained with blood, and her face was covered in dust. If Chu Xue hadn't recognized the girl as a member of the Felin tribe, Lin Ye wouldn't have recognized her at all.

"How did you become like this?" Lin Ye was very surprised.

Chu Xue frowned: "What exactly happened?"

Sherag is a divinely protected kingdom with strict rules since its founding. Although these rules are not written down and therefore not explicitly legal, the bottom line in people's hearts has become the norm. The girl before her had clearly been hurt by someone who crossed that line, and as a saintess, Chuxue could not possibly ignore it.

Lin Ye then briefly recounted his and the girl's experiences to Chu Xue.

After saying that, Chu Xue stared at him: "She became like this after she bought your things?"

Lin Ye nodded subconsciously, then realized something was wrong.

"Damn it, what do you mean?" he said angrily. "Do you think I'm a drug dealer? That buying my stuff will ruin your family? How could that be? I only sell local specialties that are good quality and inexpensive, okay?"

"What local specialty? I don't know what it is." Chu Xue said sharply, "Take it out and let me see it."

"I don't need to take it out. Feel your own pocket. That little bottle you always carry with you is the drug I sold you. If you don't want it, give it back to me."

Lin Ye extended his hand to Chu Xue. Chu Xue's expression changed slightly before she looked away: "If it is that, it is indeed a local specialty that is both high-quality and inexpensive. I misunderstood you."

Lin Ye: "..."

"So who exactly are you?" Chuxue looked at the girl again. "There are no Felin people in Shelagner. Are you an outsider? Why did you become like this? Doctor Lin Ye said you weren't like this a few days ago. Who did this to you? Can you tell me? I am the Holy Maiden of Kalan..."

Lin Ye couldn't help but interrupt Chu Xue's barrage of questions: "Alright, how can she answer so many questions? Your Majesty, why don't you go to the shop and ask the owner what's going on? Leave this to me."

Chu Xue was somewhat displeased. If this were Rhodes Island, following Lin Ye's instructions wouldn't be a big deal. But this was Kjerag, and she was the Holy Maiden of Kjerag, the highest-ranking being in Kjerag. How could she possibly obey Lin Ye? Where would that leave the face of the God of Kjerag?

However, she soon noticed the "Maple" pendant Lin Ye had on his waist, so she quietly got up and went into the store to inquire about the situation.

She had almost forgotten that, compared to her, the saintess, the god of Kalan might prefer Lin Ye.

After Chu Xue left, only Lin Ye and the girl remained outside the shop. The girl was still looking at Lin Ye, her eyes filled with complex emotions. Lin Ye asked her name again, and this time she seemed to want to speak, opening her mouth but making no sound.

Wait, could she be mute...?

Thinking of this, Lin Ye reached out his hand to the girl. She instinctively tried to pull away, but Lin Ye reassured her and she didn't move. After checking her condition, Lin Ye's face darkened.

“Your Holiness, I really don’t know where she came from. I saw her here as soon as I opened the door today. She can’t speak, she just gestured and begged me to lend her paper and pen. I felt sorry for her, so I gave them to her. God of Kalan, I absolutely did not lie.”

Lin Ye looked up and saw Chu Xue and the shop owner come out.

Chu Xue said, "The shop owner said she appeared out of nowhere... Why do you look like that?"

"She can't speak anymore," Lin Ye said.

"Yes, the shop owner told me."

"But she was able to speak before we left."

Chu Xue's expression immediately changed.

"Who did this?" Chu Xue came to the girl again, wanting to check on her physical condition, but the girl couldn't help but shrink back, looking very frightened.

"Don't scare her."

Seeing this, Lin Ye had no choice but to step in again and successfully calmed the girl down. This was not a difficult task for Lin Ye, just like dealing with frightened kittens and puppies in a pet hospital.

After calming her down, Lin Ye asked the shop owner for paper and pen, then handed them to the girl: "Write your name and what you want to say on this."

The girl hesitated for a moment before taking the paper and pen.

Then she wrote a few words on it, but to Lin Ye and Chu Xue's surprise, she did not reveal her name or what had happened to her. Instead, she wrote a sentence: "Are you really a local specialty vendor?"

"A vendor of local specialties?" Chu Xue looked at Lin Ye with great confusion. "Dr. Lin, when did you get into this line of work?"

The girl's expression immediately changed when she heard Chu Xue call out to Doctor Lin.

Dr. Lin... Dr. Lin... Dr. Lin...

Where are the local specialty vendors I was promised?

The girl couldn't accept such a blow and fainted without hesitation.

Chapter 263: The Healing Ability of the Devilman

The girl fainted immediately. Lin Ye and Chu Xue tried calling her several times, but they couldn't wake her up.

"He must be too tired," Chu Xue said. "After suffering such torment, if he doesn't get proper rest, he'll be ruined, both mentally and physically."

Lin Ye, being a veterinarian, wholeheartedly agreed, so they took the girl back to the Shivaesh family's mansion. Before leaving, Lin Ye tossed 250 yuan to the shopkeeper, saying, "We'll buy this girl." Chu Xue's expression turned quite grim.

Bringing the girl back to the mansion naturally caused another commotion. Originally, Cliffheart and Sussuruo had already finished bathing and were preparing to get a good night's sleep to soothe their fatigue from the Holy Road, but as soon as they heard that Doctor Lin Ye had bought a catwoman who could warm the bed from the market, they lost all sleepiness and ran downstairs in their pajamas. Even Lappland, who had been withdrawn for two or three days, came over to see what was going on.

"What do you mean 'Dr. Lin Ye bought a catwoman who can warm the bed'? I warn you, don't slander people out of thin air!" Lin Ye was very angry and tried to defend his innocence, but unfortunately, everyone ignored him.

Cliff Heart looked at the girl's ears and said, "Wow, she really is a catwoman, she even has cat ears."

"To be precise, they are the Felin tribe," Sussuro, a specialist in the medical department, offered a professional explanation.

“Really? The Felin race? Aren’t they the same race as Jessica? How come they’re in Kjerag? There shouldn’t be any Felins in Kjerag,” Cliffheart said.

Susuru looked at Cliffheart with some confusion: "There are no Philin tribe members in Sherag? But aren't you a Philin?"

Ya Xin immediately looked bewildered: "Is that so?"

“I’ve seen your medical report; you’re from the Felin tribe.”

"I really didn't know..."

In response, the butler, Green, who was listening nearby, explained: "This is because since the Shivaish family moved to Sherag, they have lost contact with the Felin people from other places. Over time, the Shivaish family members only refer to themselves as Shivaish, not Felin, so it is normal for the second young lady not to know this."

Ya Xin then revealed a look of sudden realization: "Is that so? So I'm a cat-eared girl?"

Cliffheart's words were overheard by Horn Peak, who had just entered the lobby, and he was so shocked that he almost bit his tongue.

"Second Miss, how can you call yourself a cat-eared girl! You are the second daughter of the noble Shiva'ish family, you are..."

Seeing that Horn Peak was once again giving Cliffheart etiquette lessons, Lin Ye couldn't help but sigh. He thought to himself that this family was really causing trouble, and all the important matters had been neglected.

As he was thinking this, he caught a glimpse of Sussuruo out of the corner of his eye. Sussuruo was standing in front of the girl lying down, examining her mouth, and then said in a rather surprised tone, "Her tongue has been cut off?"

One sentence silenced the entire lobby.

Just when Lin Ye thought he'd finally managed to calm these people down a bit, he suddenly realized everyone was looking at him. After a couple of seconds of stunned silence, he snapped out of it and glared at them, yelling, "Why are you all looking at me?! I didn't do it!"

……

Ten minutes later, Susulu threw the blood-stained cotton swab into the trash can.

“That counts as disinfection,” Sussuluo said. “The wound should not get infected.”

Originally, he was watching the girl from the cliff with a spectator's mindset, but now he only felt sympathy for the unconscious girl: "Who is so cruel?"

Susulu shook her head: "How could I possibly know that? I only know that, judging from the wound, it must have been done between last night and the day before yesterday."

Horn Peak said in a deep voice, "It seems that they did indeed perish in Shelagna."

First Snow then looked at the butler, Green: "Grandpa Green, do you know where girls come from? In Sherag, apart from the Shiva Ash family, there shouldn't be many Felins, right?"

Green bowed respectfully and said, "I'm not too sure about that. My daily work is cleaning and managing this house, and I rarely go outside. Moreover, since the master returned, Sherag is no longer the completely closed country it used to be. Occasionally, merchants come here to sell goods, so this Felin girl may have arrived around that time."

While everyone else was concerned about the girl's injuries and background, Lin Ye was more concerned about something else, so he asked Su Suluo, "Can this injury be healed?"

Susuluo was taken aback: "Healed?"

"Yes, will she be able to regain her speech?"

Before Susuluo could speak, Horn interrupted, "Impossible, right? She doesn't even have a tongue anymore, how could she regain her ability to speak... Wait a minute, Dr. Lin, aren't you a doctor? How come you don't even know about this kind of thing?"

It's different, I'm a veterinarian...

Okay, whether you're a veterinarian or not, you should know that a person can't speak without a tongue, and a tongue can't grow back after it's lost. But Lin Ye still asked the question because he knew that his common sense might not apply to this world, because this world can't be explained by science.

And indeed, things turned out just as he had imagined. After a moment's thought, Susuluo nodded: "Okay."

Horn Peak was shocked, while Lin Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

What should I do?

Sussuruo shook her head: "There's nothing we can do. To get her to speak again, we need a healing ability that can regenerate. My healing ability can only be Originium Arts, but very few people possess this skill..."

Lin Ye understood Su Suluo's implied meaning and said, "Just tell me who has it."

Sussuro looked at Lin Ye and said, "Sarkaz."

Lin Ye also showed a surprised expression.

Sussuro explained, "During the Civil War, Sarkaz could fully recover with the help of Sarkaz medical personnel as long as they weren't cut to pieces on the spot. Even their hands and feet could regenerate."

Limbs can regenerate? That's too exaggerated.

Lin Ye asked, "Is Nightingale and Shining okay?"

Sussuruo nodded: "I'm talking about those two. Because not all Sarkaz doctors can do it, Fleur can't."

Lin Ye stroked his chin: "Looks like we need to take her back to Rhodes Island, but before that, we should let her..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a cold male voice came from outside the door: "I don't think it will work. This woman cannot stay in the Shivaesh family."

Lin Ye turned his head and saw Enciodes Shivaesh walking towards him.

Chapter 265 Could I be defeated by nightmares again?

Gorvin pushed open the wooden door and strode into the inner room, shouting, "Mephisto! Mephisto, where are you?!"

His expression was anxious, and his steps were somewhat unsteady. He called Mephistopheles' name several times, but received no response, so he tried to rush into the inner room. But just as he was about to push the door open, someone grabbed his hand.

"Mr. Goldman, isn't it polite to knock before entering?"

The one who stopped Gorvin was Faust.

Goldman turned to look at Faust. He didn't know Faust's name, only assuming he was Mephistopheles's henchman. Naturally, Goldman was furious at his henchman for daring to stop him at this crucial moment, and slapped Faust across the face: "You bastard!"

But Faust easily grabbed Goldman's hand, his eyes gradually turning cold: "Mr. Goldman, please try not to do things that could easily hurt yourself."

As he spoke, he gradually increased the pressure in his hands. As a cadre of the Reunion Movement, Faust's strength was certainly not comparable to that of a lazy old man like Goldman from the family. He only used a little force, and Goldman felt pain.

"You...let me go!"
