Ch 230 Beast Era (9.11)
After fastening the leech in place, XunMi exchanged the needle for the knife. She then lightly made an incision on her previous mark. Fresh blood spilled out. The fixed leech smelled the outburst of blood and begin wiggling attempting to escape.
XunMi slightly loosened the silver needle, guiding the leech to leave through the incision. After continuous enticement, that black cartilage thing finally emerged from the opening.
XunMi quickly stabbed with a silver needle, pulling the leech out completely and throwing it into a pot of boiling water. She took the handkerchief from the elder female and helped wipe the blood on the female leadâs leg clean. The wound was only two or three centimeters wide. XunMi didnât decide to sew it up. That would only cause a noticeable scar to form. She applied some anti-inflamation medicine around the wound instead.
After all of this, XunMi only felt a wave of fatigue. But now was not the time for rest. There was still another leech in the female leadâs body.
When they first saw that small black thing, a few younger females let out a screech. It was just that the thing was far too disgusting.
To be honest, XunMi wasnât the most scared of spiders, cockroaches, or mice. Instead, she was more afraid of furless, cartilage looking things. Like snakes, or leeches.
âDonât let the water temperature drop. Even if the leeches look dead, a new leech can still be secreted out. Only high temperatures can completely kill off the leech.â XunMi explained while eying the ones boiling water.
âNow Iâm going to handle to leech in her stomach. All of the beastmen, turn around. Donât look.â The female lead was wearing a t-shirt and shorts. The females here all were showing their bare legs too so XunMi hadnât said anything before. But it was different now that she needed to pull up the female leadâs shirt.
Tyre immediately turned around.
From the crowd, two more females walked up to help out. A few others continued to add firewood to the fire to ensure that that weird bug would be boiled to death. One woman helped to hold down the female leadâs legs.
XunMi was happy. Did this mean that these females were willing to accept her now? That would be great. Then would she be able to open up a class without a hitch in Yan Yan Tribe?
She unbottoned the female leadâs shirt and pulled up her tank top. This time the incision she made was much larger. This was because this leech had eaten its full and was now sleeping. The smell of blood would not be enough to incite it to wake. XunMi could only manually extract it out.
Putting on gloves, XunMi used the silver needle to prick the leech to stop it from running. Carefully inserting two fingers, she grabbed hold of the leech and quickly pulled it out, swiftly throwing it into the water behind her.
The senior woman copied XunMiâs previous actions and wiped the excess blood off the female lead. XunMi nodded towards her in gratitude. She pulled out another needle and sewed up the cut on the female leadâs abdomen. After tying a neat bow, she sprinkled on some anti-inflammatory medicine and checked on the female leadâs pulse. En, she was already recovering. What a strong female lead. She should be awake after about two more hours.
âSheâs fine. Let her rest here for now. Can the two of you stay to help me out?â XunMi leaned her weight onto a wooden plank, her voice soaked with exhaustion. She didnât have any energy left to watch over the female lead. Soon the female lead will began sweating profusely. If she wasnât wiped dry, she might catch a cold.
âI am Jacobâs mother, Yue. This is Fei. Good child, just tell us what else you need us to do.â Yue affectionately grabbed XunMiâs hand. To the side, Fei also nodded in agreement.
âShe might begin to sweat soon. I just need someone to help wipe her down so that she wonât get sick.â XunMi pointed to the female lead. She then turned to the male lead that had been nervously peaking in. She suddenly felt that this fellow wasnât that annoying after all.
âMu Yan.â
Hearing his name being called, Mu Yan pushed past Jia and rushed forward. He had been waiting outside for news. The only reason he was able to wait was because the tribe leader had said his actions might really cause that female to return to the Beast God. He didnât want that female to leave, so he calmed down.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhy are you calling me? Is she alright?â Mu Yan asked. Although his tone wasnât friendly, it was still an improvement from before.
âYou brought back this female. Iâm sure youâll be more than willing to take care of her for the next couple of days. For the time being, she canât eat meat. Give her some fruit and vegetables. Uh, by vegetables I mean those wild herbs that the aunties brought back from the mountains. If you want you can add a bit of ground meat to it. If you donât know how, bring the ingredients to me and Iâll teach you.â XunMi didnât want to dwell on this fellowâs previous actions. She could be the bigger person this time.
Mu Yan listened carefully, memorizing her instructions.
â......Thank you. I got it.â His awkward tone made XunMi let out a small smile. At least the male lead was redeemable.
âAlright, everyone can go back now. Sheâs fine.â XunMi said to the rest of the crowd. Now that she had a chance to relax, she noticed that her back was drenched uncomfortably. She needed a shower, a change of clothes, and hopefully some food. After a nap, sheâll be able to recover from this fatigue.
The crowd slowly dispersed. XunMi stood, preparing to leave. But just as she took a step forward, she felt her vision blur as she almost lost her balance. Luckily, Yuan He instinctively pulled XunMi into his arms, preventing her from falling.
âThis- are you alright?â Yan Luo walked up, worried.
Yuan He had previous experience and could guess what had happened. He shook his head. He peered down at the person that had already closed her eyes shut. Her shifting eye movements underneath her eyelids told him that she wasnât asleep yet, but was close.
âMi was like this after treating Jia too. She said itâs due to overusing her concentration. She only needs a bit of rest. Iâll bring her back first. Weâll be back when she wakes. If thereâs anything, please bother Uncle Tyre.â In other words, as long as that other female isnât dead, donât come hassle Mi.
