"You don't have to worry about this. I already have a plan. In a while, I will lead my people to the Inland Sea to exchange for sea salt. Mi Yue will go with me then. I will take this opportunity to get a lion cub back. The witch doctor also has a way to reverse the aura."

Claude's words revealed unquestionable confidence.

Seeing how determined Claude was, Vasali became even more jealous.

But she knew that her brother was really into that little black-haired female, and confronting him head-on would only create a rift in their relationship.

So, she changed her strategy and advised, "Brother, why bother yourself so much? Wouldn't it be better if you could find a little female you really like and give birth to a child that truly belongs to you?"

Claude sighed, his eyes becoming softer. "When I meet a young female I like, I'll form a partnership with her."

Seeing this, Vasali knew it was futile to continue talking, so she left angrily.

When she returned to her stone house, she saw Shuka kneeling at the door in a daze, his eyes full of despair and pain.

Vasali's anger seemed to have found an outlet. She walked up to Shuka and mocked him.

"Xhoka, it seems that your partner is really lucky. I just sent her to Lion City and she is already pregnant with my brother's baby. It seems that her feelings for you are not very deep."

When Shuka heard this, his body trembled violently and he lowered his head in silence.

Vasali sneered and deliberately provoked Shuka, "What? You don't want to admit it? But no matter how much you don't want to admit it, this is the fact."

"You like her so much, and you're willing to give yourself to me for her, but she's making out with my brother, mating, and having a baby while you're suffering."

Shocker knelt on the cold bluestone slabs. The night breeze blowing through the hall brought gusts of coolness, but it was far less chill than the coldness in his heart.

The moonlight poured down on his lonely figure, casting a long shadow, as if it was a reflection of the endless loneliness in his heart.

The scene at the banquet was deeply engraved in his mind like a brand and could not be erased.

He clearly remembered that Claude held Mi Yue's hand tightly with a happy look on his face.

At this moment, Xiuka's heart seemed to be gripped.

When Vasali saw that the corners of Shuka's eyes were red and he looked like he was about to cry, she felt even more proud.

She reached out to touch Shocker, but he dodged her fiercely.

Vasali's expression instantly turned gloomy. She slapped Shocker on the face and said through gritted teeth, "Shocker, sooner or later I will make you surrender. You just keep kneeling now."

"I want you to know the consequences of betraying me."

The liveliness here cannot be compared with the liveliness over at Miyue's place.

[Host, the food in front of you is poisonous, please eat with caution! ]

The sudden alarm from the system made Mi Yue's face turn grim.

She thought Michaela would do something to her, but she didn't expect him to poison her food so quickly.

Mi Yue sat at the wooden table, gently stroking the cold stone bowl with her hand, a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.

This Michaela is too impatient.

At this point she was certain that Claude's second uncle was indeed harmful to Claude.

She took a deep breath and tried to calm her inner turmoil, then turned around and whispered to the beast servant outside the door, "Go call the city lord and tell him that I have a stomachache because I ate something unclean."

The beast servant's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he also knew the seriousness of the situation and did not dare to delay at all and left in a hurry.

Soon Claude came to the stone house with several animal servants and a doctor. He was relieved to see that Mi Yue was not seriously injured.

He waved his hand and said, "All the doctors who stayed may leave."

His eyes quickly swept across the room and finally landed on Mi Yue's furrowed brows and the bowl of untouched food. His face instantly turned gloomy.

"What's going on?" Claude's voice was filled with undisguised concern.

Mi Yue looked up and met Claude's eyes, a hint of complex emotions flashed in her eyes.

"Someone poisoned my food." Since she became pregnant, her appetite has increased. Even after dinner, she still has to eat something before going to bed.

Claude frowned upon hearing this, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

He turned around and called Lhasa to order, "Immediately seal off the stone house and thoroughly investigate this matter. Do not let any of the beast servants in the house go free."

LS took the order and left, leaving only three people in the house.

"Doctor, please check Mi Yue to see if there is anything wrong with the baby in her belly."

The doctor looked nervous and took Mi Yue's pulse carefully.

Claude was relieved only after learning that Mi Yue and her unborn baby were fine.

He walked to Mi Yue and said in a softer tone, "Don't worry, Mi Yue. I will protect you."

Mi Yue nodded slightly, but there was still worry in her eyes.

"I suspect this matter has something to do with your second uncle. He may have a deeper conspiracy." She whispered.

When Claude heard this, a cold look flashed in his eyes.

"If my second uncle does anything to hurt you, I will never let him go easily."

He groaned for a moment and continued, "But we can't make this public for now. I'll arrest him after I find evidence."

Mi Yue nodded in agreement, and the two smiled at each other, each with their own plans in mind.

So not long after Claude returned to his stone house, an accident happened. He covered his chest, his face was pale and his breathing was rapid, which were symptoms of an asthma attack.

Upon seeing this, the beast servants panicked and shouted to find a doctor.

"Sarah, you stay." Claude's voice was weak, but it carried unquestionable majesty.

Sarah, one of Claude's most trusted beast servants, immediately stepped forward to support her master's shaky body, her eyes full of worry.

"Master, you are..."

Before Sarah could finish her words, Claude interrupted her, his eyes flashing with calmness, "I'm fine, you secretly observe who takes advantage of the chaos to leave, especially those who may go to inform my second uncle."

Sarah understood and nodded. Although she had some doubts in her heart, she knew her master was smart and did not dare to ask more questions.

At the same time, the doctor was urgently summoned. After a thorough examination, he pretended to be serious and wrote out a prescription. In fact, he had already made a tacit agreement with Claude and was ready to stage a "fake illness, real treatment" drama.

On the other side, Michaela's deep eyes flashed with a fierce light, and her fingers tapped lightly on the table, and every tap seemed to be calculating the pace of victory.

He sneered and whispered, "I've been tricked. It's finally time to get rid of Claude. The position of city lord will be mine from now on."

Then he turned to the trusted beast servant beside him and said, "Go, call the male stationed next to Claude. I have an important task for him."

Soon, a thin spy with cunning eyes came hurriedly.

He knelt down in front of Michaela and asked respectfully, "Second Elder, what do you want me to do?"

Michaela lowered her voice and said, "I want you to add this bottle of poison to Claude's medicine. Remember to do it cleanly and don't let them find out."

As he spoke, he pulled out a bottle of inky black poison from his sleeve and handed it to the visitor.
