Free Web NovelChapter 539: Chapter 399: The Source of the Red Bumps and the Gray Fruit
The mental shock had yet to subside when a sharp pain shot through his nose. It was enough to bring tears to Teng Kun’s eyes.
He looked at the little female in front of him, still completely naked, with her hand raised and fingers jammed in his nostrils. Not only did his nose ache, but his heart ached too.
"You should go back in. It’ll get much better in a little while. I’m going to go wash up."
With that, he took two steps back.
With a sickening SQUIRT, two jets of blood, long held back, burst from his nostrils, splattering across Qingcao’s chest.
The beastman with the nosebleed instantly turned beet red, while the female who had been sprayed calmly wiped the blood away, her tearful little face scrunching up as she sat back down in the tub.
It took a full three days of treatment before the red rash on Qingcao’s body began to slowly fade.
"Host, hurry and get up! Rise and shine!"
The System’s demonic voice echoed endlessly in her mind. Wu Yue pulled the blanket over her head, practicing selective hearing.
For the past few days, to speed up her recovery, that girl Qingcao had been coming over bright and early for her bath. Wu Yue hadn’t been able to sleep in for a long time.
Today, that girl was finally not coming over, so she had decided to stay in bed just a little longer.
"System, just let me sleep a little longer."
Looking at its host, who was wrapped up like a mummy, the System sharpened its small claws on the straw mat. Nevertheless, it reached out a paw and pulled the Beast Skin blanket off her head.
Seeing its host’s brow begin to furrow, the System quickly spoke up before the Dog Host could explode.
"There are a lot of tribespeople waiting for you outside the main gate. You need to get up!"
Her head still groggy, Wu Yue glared at the Blue Fatty in front of her and ground her teeth. "It had better be true..."
She quickly got dressed and walked to the door, but the moment she pushed it open, she saw a group of people standing outside.
And at the very front was none other than Qingcao, who had already made a full recovery the day before.
The sound of the door opening was distinct. The tribespeople standing outside the courtyard gate heard it and all turned to look at Wu Yue.
"What’s all this?"
She asked as she walked toward the entrance and opened the main gate.
Qingcao scratched her head sheepishly. "My bumps are all healed, but these children have the same kind of rash. The little ones are really suffering, so I brought them over."
As she spoke, Qingcao lowered her head, looking a little embarrassed.
Seeing this, the other tribespeople quickly offered what they were holding to Wu Yue. "Lord Wuyue, this is food we’ve brought. Please treat our children. They’re really, really suffering."
As soon as one of the females finished speaking, a small cub began to whimper and cry.
Seeing this, the cub’s Amu quickly picked him up to soothe him, her own heart aching as tears welled up in her eyes.
"How many cubs need treatment?"
Wu Yue sighed and asked.
Qingcao eagerly squeezed her way forward. "Yue, there are four little cubs in total that need treatment. The wooden tub I used yesterday should be big enough."
With that, she looked at her with great anticipation.
Outside the gate were not only the sick little cubs, but also their Fathers and Amus. Qingcao had mentioned that some work would be needed for the treatment, so the parents had all come along.
Once Wu Yue had portioned out the medicinal herbs, the task of boiling the concoction was taken over by Qingcao and the cubs’ Fathers and Amus.
"Yue, why isn’t the little cubs’ medicinal water as hot as the one I soaked in?"
Qingcao dipped a hand into the tub to feel the water’s temperature. She then looked at Wu Yue as if staring down a villain who had deliberately tried to harm her.
"Did you think the little cubs have skin as thick as yours?"
After dropping that heartless remark, Wu Yue turned and walked out.
Qingcao touched her cheek. "It’s not that thick... Yue is so mean."
In just one day, news that Qingcao and the little cubs had been cured of their red rashes began to spread throughout the tribe.
Wu Yue was once again graced with a summons from the Snow Tiger Witch.
"I heard that kind of red rash can just be washed away in a bath?"
The Snow Tiger Witch looked at the young female before her. It would be impossible to say she wasn’t shocked.
"Who on earth told you that this kind of red rash can be cured with just a bath?"
Wu Yue’s mouth twitched as she looked at the Snow Tiger Witch’s curious face.
But the powerful witch simply pointed to the Half beastman Warriors beside her. "It was these two fellas who came back and told me."
The two Half beastman Warriors, who had just been thrown under the bus, looked at their witch as Wu Yue’s eyes narrowed on them. "..."
’Could you at least act like a decent person?’
But, succumbing to their witch’s oppressive authority, they still gave a "sincere" nod. "Yeah, that’s what we heard around the tribe."
