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 lead’s leg clean. The wound was only two or three centimeters wide. XunMi didn’t 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 lead’s 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 wasn’t the most scared of spiders, cockroaches, or mice. Instead, she was more afraid of furless, cartilage looking things. Like snakes, or leeches.

“Don’t 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.” XunMi explained while eying the ones boiling water.

“Now I’m going to handle to leech in her stomach. All of the beastmen, turn around. Don’t look.” The female lead was wearing a t-shirt and shorts. The females here all were showing their bare legs too so XunMi hadn’t said anything before. But it was different now that she needed to pull up the female lead’s 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 lead’s 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 lead’s 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 XunMi’s 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 lead’s abdomen. After tying a neat bow, she sprinkled on some anti-inflammatory medicine and checked on the female lead’s pulse. En, she was already recovering. What a strong female lead. She should be awake after about two more hours.

“She’s fine. Let her rest here for now. Can the two of you stay to help me out?” XunMi leaned her weight onto a wooden plank, her voice soaked with exhaustion. She didn’t have any energy left to watch over the female lead. Soon the female lead will began sweating profusely. If she wasn’t wiped dry, she might catch a cold.

“I am Jacob’s mother, Yue. This is Fei. Good child, just tell us what else you need us to do.” Yue affectionately grabbed XunMi’s hand. To the side, Fei also nodded in agreement.

“She might begin to sweat soon. I just need someone to help wipe her down so that she won’t get sick.” 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 wasn’t that annoying after all.

“Mu Yan.”

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 didn’t want that female to leave, so he calmed down.

“Why are you calling me? Is she alright?” Mu Yan asked. Although his tone wasn’t friendly, it was still an improvement from before.

“You brought back this female. I’m sure you’ll be more than willing to take care  of her for the next couple of days. For the time being, she can’t 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 don’t know how, bring the ingredients to me and I’ll teach you.” XunMi didn’t want to dwell on this fellow’s previous actions. She could be the bigger person this time.

Mu Yan listened carefully, memorizing her instructions.

“……Thank you. I got it.” His awkward tone made XunMi let out a small smile. At least the male lead was redeemable.

“Alright, everyone can go back now. She’s fine.” 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, she’ll 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.

“This- are you alright?” 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 wasn’t asleep yet, but was close.

“Mi was like this after treating Jia too. She said it’s due to overusing her concentration. She only needs a bit of rest. I’ll bring her back first. We’ll be back when she wakes. If there’s anything, please bother Uncle Tyre.” In other words, as long as that other female isn’t dead, don’t come hassle Mi.
