Chapter 529: Chapter 395: Aunt Flo Has Come to Visit
Wu Yue: "..."
’Stop saying things that’ll give people the wrong idea. This isn’t the kind of wound you can just touch.’
"Put me down..."
The dull, heavy ache in her lower abdomen was unbearable. Combined with the mortifying scene she’d just endured, Wu Yue could only give the beastman beside her an indescribable look. "Don’t the women around here get their periods?"
Yuan Lang looked startled. "You mean you have other relatives who’ve come to this world, too?"
Wu Yue: "..."
"By ’period,’ I mean a woman’s ’sunflower water.’ Don’t you know what that is?"
Yuan Lang stiffened, and then his handsome face instantly flushed bright red. "...Sunflower water."
He mumbled her word, his eyes drifting down toward her butt.
Wu Yue shot him a ferocious glare. "Where do you think you’re looking!"
Yuan Lang paced a helpless circle on the spot. "Is there anything I can do?"
Remembering the exorbitant price of those "little loaves," Wu Yue decided to at least try. "Could you please go get Qingcao for me?"
Yuan Lang glanced at her worriedly. "Will you be all right on your own?"
Wu Yue forced a grim smile. "I’m fine for now. Please, hurry."
Yuan Lang pressed his lips together, then turned and ran out.
A moment later, Wu Yue heard Qingcao’s miserable shriek.
’How bizarre. Yuanlang Warrior, I clearly asked you to go find Qingcao, but judging by that scream, it sounds like you’re slaughtering a pig.’
Yuan Lang strode into the room carrying Qingcao and, with a sweep of his arm, tossed the female in his grasp onto the kang bed.
"I’ll go boil some water."
’She’s lost so much blood. The little female must be in a lot of pain. I’ll boil some water so she can wash up later.’
"Ow, ow, ow! My back!"
The drama queen was still wailing as she rubbed her waist, which was red from being constricted. "Yue, your Yuan Lang is so violent! He hauled me all the way here, and my waist is all red from how he was holding me."
Wu Yue looked listlessly at her friend. "I’m the one who asked him to find you."
With that, she lifted the Beast Skin blanket on the kang bed. "I’m bleeding."
Qingcao let out a yelp, sprang up from the kang bed, and bolted for the door. "I’ll go get the witch!"
"Come back! I’m fine."
Qingcao stopped and looked back at her. "You’re bleeding. How can you say you’re fine?"
"Don’t you bleed?"
Wu Yue said through gritted teeth.
Qingcao chuckled and waved a hand dismissively. "I’m very careful. I rarely get hurt. As for bleeding, that only happens when... huh?"
As if struck by a thought, Qingcao scooted over to Wu Yue’s side. She glanced at the blood on the bed, then at Wu Yue’s behind. "It’s not what I’m thinking, is it?"
Wu Yue nodded. "It’s exactly what you’re thinking. That’s why I wanted to ask, what do you do every time you bleed?"p>
Qingcao gave Wu Yue’s arm a sly pat. "Yue, you’re a normal female now."
Wu Yue: "..."
’I’ll give you one chance to rephrase that. When was I ever not a normal female?’
"Oh, that’s easy. Just wait a minute, I’ll go get something for you."
With that, she let out another sly chuckle and ran out.
"Host, would you like to exchange for some ’little loaves’?"
Wu Yue arched an eyebrow. "No, thanks. Your prices are ridiculous. Only a sucker would buy from you. I’ll just wait for Qingcao to bring something back. Whatever she has will be fine."
The System sounded sulky. "Host, all items in the System Mall are quality-assured. Plus, if you buy now, you can take part in our spend-and-save promotion! It’s a huge bargain. Are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?"
’The System was miserable. Other Hosts were constantly buying things from the System Mall, spending points and enjoying the perks—it was totally normal. But its own Host was a cheapskate of the highest order.’
’Even when she was practically bleeding a river, she stubbornly insisted on waiting for some unknown sanitary item. Such a frugal spirit was truly commendable.’
"Host, I’ll temporarily close the System Mall, then. Looking forward to Qingcao’s good news."
’Of course, while it said that, it was mentally munching on popcorn, waiting to see the look of disappointment on its Host’s face.’
’This Dog Host was just too naive. In a world like this, how could there possibly be a high-class item like a ’little loaf’? At best, they’d just use some leaves as padding.’
"Yue, I’m back!"
Qingcao’s cheerful cry rang out from the courtyard. Not only did Wu Yue hear it in the house, but even Yuan Lang secretly poked his head out of the kitchen to see.
But in the next moment, when he saw what she was holding, even the mighty General Yuan Lang couldn’t help but shudder.
’When women get their ’sunflower water,’ this is what they use?’
