Healing a Fallen S-Rank Beastman: Everyone Fights Over the Little Female-Chapter 250: Celebration

The adjutant had never heard of a male in the Empire being granted an exemption for a divorce; Admiral Kelan was undoubtedly the first.

This also made him truly appreciate Lady Lu Xiao’s capabilities.

’As expected of Lady Lu Xiao. She even won over Her Majesty the Queen. No one can resist her personal charm!’

’She’s simply incredible!’

"Congratulations, Admiral. You’re finally, finally free!" The adjutant smiled, his eyes turning red. He had followed Admiral Kelan for many years and knew all about the situation with Lu Ge Wei. Because of this, he understood just how difficult the past years had been for the Admiral. He was truly happy that Admiral Kelan was finally getting his release.

Admiral Kelan smiled and patted his shoulder. "Don’t mention this to anyone for now."

"I understand. Did Lady Lu Xiao meet with Her Majesty the Queen specifically for this matter?"

"Not exactly. Her Majesty the Queen summoned her. I’m not entirely clear on the details myself."

’I can’t believe it happened like that. But even so, Lady Lu Xiao still remembered to help her Father accomplish so much.’

’Any family with a female cub like her must have been blessed by their ancestors. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say she deserved to be put on a pedestal.’

’Thinking this, the adjutant couldn’t help but reflect on how, despite Lu Ge Wei’s terrible character, she was certainly good at bearing children. Too bad she wouldn’t benefit from it at all. He wondered how she would feel if she knew Admiral Kelan could divorce her without suffering any repercussions.’

’He was getting excited just thinking about it.’

That evening, Admiral Kelan and Ares returned to the Duke Garieldo Mansion, one right after the other.

Both had received unexpected, pleasant surprises that day.

Cecilia, seated at the head of the table, smiled. "Today is a day of double celebration. I had a special meal prepared, so let’s enjoy a nice dinner together first. Later, Kelan, once your business is settled, we’ll call your younger brother and sister over. We’ll invite people from all walks of life and hold a banquet. I want to formally introduce Lu Xiao to everyone. At the same time, it’s about time our Duke Garieldo Mansion had some excitement."

She couldn’t remember the last time they held a banquet.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to; there just hadn’t been anything worth celebrating.

But things were different now. With Lu Xiao around, Cecilia felt that life was suddenly full of things to look forward to.

’This young female... she really knows how to give people hope.’

"Xiao Xiao, when you met Her Majesty the Queen today, she didn’t give you a hard time, did she?" Admiral Kelan was still worried his daughter might have been mistreated by Her Majesty the Queen.

Lu Xiao shook her head and replied with a smile, "Her Majesty the Queen didn’t make things difficult for me. My first impression of her was quite good."

Admiral Kelan was rather surprised to hear such an assessment from Lu Xiao and instinctively glanced at Cecilia.

Cecilia spoke up. "She hasn’t gone senile yet. She knows Lu Xiao’s value. If the problem of Spirit Sea instability is truly solved during her reign, it will count as one of her political achievements. A hundred years from now, it will be recorded in the history books. How could she possibly make things difficult for Xiao Xiao? Our Queen is a very shrewd woman!"

Lu Xiao looked at Cecilia, who had spoken with a hint of disdain, but she knew that deep down, her grandmother was actually pleased.

Pleased that Her Majesty the Queen wasn’t foolish enough to make a muddled decision and still knew right from wrong.

"About the divorce exemption you secured for me... Her Majesty the Queen didn’t have any additional demands, did she?" Admiral Kelan was still worried Lu Xiao might have agreed to something unfair on his behalf.

"No, Father, please don’t worry. Her Majesty not only granted the exemption but also promoted Ares. She offered these things of her own accord. I didn’t have to pay any price. Or rather, the only thing required of me is to solve the problem of Spirit Sea instability."

’But that was her duty to begin with.’

Hearing this, Admiral Kelan and Ares were finally and completely at ease.

After dinner, Lu Xiao and Ares didn’t leave but stayed the night at the Duke Mansion, in the same room as before.

Back in their room, Lu Xiao was about to head to the bathroom to freshen up when Ares wrapped his arms around her from behind.

Feeling the scorching heat radiating from his body, Lu Xiao’s heart skipped a beat. "Ares, you..."

"Xiao Xiao, I think my rutting period has arrived." As Ares said this, he rested his head on Lu Xiao’s shoulder and nuzzled it gently.

’Lu Xiao’s heart tightened. Counting the days, it was true that Ares’s rutting period was due right about now.’

Lu Xiao turned and cupped Ares’s feverish cheeks. The intense heat had brought a flush to his fair skin, making his eyes, glistening and alluring, stand out even more.

’At that moment, she had the strange thought that the man before her looked absolutely delectable.’

"Xiao Xiao... may I?" Ares asked tentatively, his hand reaching to undo her collar.

Whether it was the atmosphere or the undisguised desire in his eyes, Lu Xiao felt her own body heat up. She stopped his hand. "But I haven’t showered yet, Ares. Can you wait a—ah!"

Before she could finish, he swept her off her feet. Ares declared, "I will help my Mistress bathe."

Because Ares’s rutting period had started so suddenly, Lu Xiao had to take a week off to stay with him.

For some unknown reason, his rut was exceptionally long this time, and he became incredibly clingy.

To that end, Cecilia had their entire floor cleared of staff to ensure they wouldn’t be disturbed and could get through the rutting period in peace.

Finally, on the last day of his rut, Ares woke up clear-headed. Lying in bed, Lu Xiao felt as though she had just survived a catastrophe.

Seeing the young female’s exhausted expression, the now-lucid Ares felt a rare pang of guilt. "Are you okay, Xiao Xiao? Want me to give you a massage?"

Lu Xiao turned her head to look at the man who was so eager to make it up to her. "Ares, the best reward you can give me right now is not touching me."

’These past few days, when Ares was in his frenzy, she felt like he was literally going to eat her alive.’

’She was sensitive all over now; she really couldn’t handle his touch.’

Seeing the young female’s pitiful state, Ares, despite his guilt, couldn’t deny his deep satisfaction. He leaned in and kissed Lu Xiao. "Alright, then. I’ll go make you some food to help you recover."

’Hearing this, Lu Xiao looked at Ares, his eyes brimming with satisfaction, and felt an inexplicable happiness herself. She thought she was a lost cause. She actually found this version of Ares—boldly expressing himself, free of guilt and self-recrimination afterward—to be incredibly dazzling.’

’Her Ares was becoming more confident and bold, which made her feel extraordinarily proud.’

’This was how her man was always meant to be.’

’Ugh, but in *that* department... he’s just too much. Her poor back...’
