On the way back, Qiao Xixi had been so worried about Qiao Lie and Sunxiao that she hadn’t paid close attention to the state of the tribe.
Now, walking through the tribe with Gu Man, she finally noticed that many stone houses had been damaged, and bloodstains were visible everywhere on the ground.
Qiao Xixi frowned. She followed Gu Man to her ho and saw that half a wall of her stone house was also gone. Her other beast husbands, however, were still out helping the tribe, with no ti to spare for their own ho.
The injured one was her second beast husband, a Deer Beast male.
By the ti Qiao Xixi and the others arrived, the Deer Beast male’s life force was already incredibly weak.
"Lu Lin was injured protecting the tribe. That dicine you gave , I used it all on Bu Xi... Xixi, you have no idea. Bu Xi collapsed right next to . I thought I was going to lose him forever..."
Gu Man covered her mouth and couldn’t stop herself from crying.
At the ti, to avoid slowing Qiao Xixi down, she had headed to the other side of the forest. The Mutant Beasts pursued her relentlessly. Just when she thought she was going to die, Bu Xi arrived.
But there were too many Mutant Beasts. By the ti he managed to escape with her and Tata, he was on the verge of death.
"So I spread the entire vial of dicine on him. Xixi, your dicine is amazing. It saved Bu Xi’s life."
Qiao Xixi’s heart pounded in fear as she listened to the story. But when she heard that an entire tube of Strong Healing Glue had been used, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of regret. The little imp had told her the Strong Healing Glue’s restorative power for external injuries was incredible—it could save soone even if they had a hole punched through their stomach, as long as they were still breathing. A single tube could have saved many beastn.
Still, as long as the outco was good, that was what mattered.
"After we got back, the beastn in the tribe carried Lu Lin here. The shaman ca to look at him and said he was beyond saving..."
Qiao Xixi patted her soothingly. "Don’t worry. Let’s take a look at Lu Lin’s condition first."
Qiao Xixi and Qiao Qiao walked to the bedside. Lu Lin’s skin had a dull, deathly-gray pallor. She could already sll the scent of death on him. Even Qiao Qiao wrinkled her little nose.
"Qiaoqiao, can you do it?"
Qiao Qiao nodded. "Mother, I’ll try."
"Mm."
Qiao Qiao placed her small hand gently on Lu Lin’s chest. A halo of blue-white light quickly enveloped him.
Qiao Xixi could clearly feel that the energy emanating from Qiao Qiao was much stronger now. When the halo of light dimd, the aura of death around Lu Lin had completely vanished.
His eyelids twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes.
"Gu Man..."
"Lu Lin, you’re awake! You’re finally awake!"
Gu Man hugged Lu Lin emotionally and burst into tears.
Qiao Xixi saw that the light had returned to Lu Lin’s eyes and knew he was probably out of danger.
Qiao Xixi picked Qiao Qiao up. "Are you feeling unwell?"
Qiao Qiao shook her head, full of energy. "Nope! Mother, am I amazing or what? I’ll tell you a secret, okay? All the stuff inside this male’s belly was broken. If it were before, I might not have been able to save him."
Qiao Xixi guessed she ant that Lu Lin’s internal organs had suffered various degrees of damage.
Gu Man wiped her tears and looked at Qiao Xixi gratefully. "Xixi, Qiaoqiao, thank you. From now on, I’ll do anything you ask of ."
"I’m just glad Lu Lin is okay. You should focus on putting your ho back in order. I’m going to go see the Clan Leader."
"Okay. You two be careful."
After leaving Gu Man’s ho, Qiao Xixi said to Jin Ling, "I want to go see where they’re keeping the injured beastn."
’Although there had been so unpleasantness in the Silver Tribe, Feili had always treated them well. Now that the tribe has suffered such a heavy blow, she wanted to do her part to help rebuild. And, of course, she could also complete system missions with her cubs.’
Jin Ling nodded in agreent. "The more seriously injured beastn have been placed in the empty houses near the shaman’s ho. The others with minor injuries are recovering in their own hos."
"By the way, Xixi, I only kept one vial of the dicine you gave . I gave the rest to the Clan Leader."
Qiao Xixi nodded, having no objections. "Mm. Every one we can save counts."
When Qiao Xixi arrived outside the shaman’s house, she could hear the pained groans of beastn from all around. The shaman was so busy he was running off his feet, without even a mont to take a sip of water.
As Qiao Xixi walked closer, she saw a familiar figure erge from a stone house.
"Clan Leader."
Feili looked at Qiao Xixi, and so of the worry in his eyes dissipated.
"Xixi, are you and the cubs alright?"
Qiao Xixi shook her head. "We’re fine. The Young Clan Leader saved us."
Feili nodded. Feiyan had told him about it after finding him.
"As long as you’re all okay. The tribe is in chaos right now, so you should all go back ho. Co out again after the tribe has been repaired."
"Clan Leader, I ca to ask if there’s anything we can do to help."
The tribe had lost many males with Awakened Beast Souls this ti. Now, not only did they have to rebuild, but they also had to send so males out to continue hunting and stockpiling food. They also needed to arrange for people to repair and reinforce the entrance. They were indeed short on manpower.
"Grandfather, I can help treat the injured beastn! I’m already a 3-star Beast Soul now, you know."
Feili was very surprised. He patted Qiao Qiao’s head affectionately. "Our little Qiaoqiao cub is so capable. Alright, then you can stay and help the shaman."
"Okay!"
Qiao Xixi also said, "Then I’ll stay too. I can bandage their wounds."
Feili didn’t refuse.
"Then I’ll have to trouble you both."
Feili still had many things to attend to. He called the shaman over, gave him a few brief instructions, and then left.
The shaman knew Qiao Qiao had a Healing Skill and was delighted she was there to help.
"There are a few who are very seriously injured. I’ll have to ask for your help with them."
Qiao Qiao replied in a clear, bright voice, "No problem!"
Qiao Xixi went to help treat the wounds of the injured.
Jin Ling was worried about them, so he, along with Qiao Ang and Qiao Lie, stayed to assist Qiao Xixi and the others.
Qiao Xixi poured Spiritual Spring water into a wooden bucket to wash the more severe wounds. The wounds quickly stopped bleeding after being rinsed with the Spiritual Spring water. Afterward, they just needed to apply the dicinal herbs provided by the shaman.
The grey wolf male whose leg Qiao Xixi was bandaging stared at her, infatuated. When their gazes occasionally t, he didn’t look away, instead watching her even more boldly.
Qiao Xixi knew that most males in this beast world were very direct. She gave him a couple of gentle reminders, but seeing he had no ill intentions, she paid him no further mind.
"This leg injury is quite serious. You should rest well for the next few days. Don’t move around too much."
The grey wolf male nodded foolishly. "Even though you’re a Wandering Beast female, you’re not bad at all."
Qiao Xixi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
’The prejudice in people’s hearts truly is a mountain.’
"I admit, there are so Wandering Beasts who like to do bad things, but there are also many who are just like ."
The grey wolf male nodded blankly. Seeing Qiao Xixi get up to leave, he scrambled up with a sincere expression and half-knelt before her.
"Female Qiao Xixi, please allow to beco your beast husband, won’t you?"
