An hour later, Tangtang was led by Beining into a cave on the back mountain, and of course, that wasn’t the point. The point was, there was actually a flowing hot spring pool here!
She felt her cheeks warm up because she had just scornfully said they didn’t have this condition, and now, an hour later, was she slapping her own face?
She turned her head to look at him, thinking he might be under the impression that she was dissatisfied with the place, "This water isn’t scalding, soaking for a while will be comfortable, and the water is flowing, so you don’t have to worry about it getting dirty. I can bring you here every day if you like. Before, you were unconscious, so I couldn’t bring you."
Tangtang took a deep breath, "So, how many days have I been unconscious?"
Beining was even more embarrassed, "I am really sorry, it’s all my fault. I didn’t realize that females had such a weak constitution, with the wind chill and convulsions and all. You,"
Under Tangtang’s intense gaze, he cleared his throat, "About half a month. I never stopped on the road, at most I went to nearby tribes to get you so herbs, and then continued on our journey."
Tangtang gritted her teeth, no wonder she felt so exhausted, and no wonder she felt so hungry. Turned out she hadn’t really eaten over these days?
It seed that her previous self-depreciation wasn’t excessive; she had more than just luck on her side, it was as if Liang Tian himself was protecting her. How could such Beastn even deserve a female?
And even if she were wrapped up like a zongzi, just going from the wooden house to the place, she was still extrely cold. She really missed the warmth of her own ho’s kang bed.
She also wondered how Pan Lin and the others were faring. Without his tail, would that affect his legs?
"You wash up here, and I’ll keep watch outside. Just call if you need anything."
Tangtang’s eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly. This Beastman who had kidnapped her actually knew to stay away? It seed he was not as bad as she had imagined.
After he left, Tangtang didn’t go to the innermost part of the hot spring pool but chose the outermost edge instead. Though the hot spring was comfortable, it was not suitable to soak for too long during one’s nstrual period. So, she just cleaned herself, her hair greasy beyond recognition. After washing with plant ashes, and then using soap pod for a second wash until there was no foul sll, did she stop.
The dirt on her body fell off after soaking in the spring water for a while; looking at the layers of dead skin mud, she frantically thought that she had already collected a lot of animal pancreases but hadn’t had the chance to make soap before she was kidnapped. It was infuriating.
Cleaned up, she didn’t dare love the warmth of the mont too long. She didn’t dare change her outer clothes, but she did switch her undergarnts, long johns, and long underwear. Fortunately, she changed in ti; her cotton trousers weren’t too stained and she put on a nstrual pad before dressing in her cotton padded jacket and pants, then stepped outside.
Beining probably didn’t expect her to co out so quickly. Seeing her with her hair down and a soft, boneless look, he couldn’t help frowning.
"Why not soak a little longer? There’s no one here now, you should soak so more."
"You can’t soak too long during the mating season,"
Tangtang glanced at him, then looked outside at the chilling wind and heavy snow, shrugging her shoulders slightly.
"Did you bring to this godforsaken place because you want to send to heaven or what? I don’t think I’ve offended you, so why do you treat this way?"
Beining stared at her in astonishnt, "Are you saying that I’m abusing you?"
"I was happily living in the Nandi Clan, where it was warm as spring inside, with a stove to sleep by, blankets to cover , and plenty of tasty food. I could have spent this Cold Season comfortably, but you, during this icy snowy ti, brought to this desolate place where not even birds shit. Tell , isn’t this abuse? What have I eaten this half-month except dicine? Can you even tell ? Do you think I’m as strong as you?"
"You say your place was as warm as spring? Ha, are you joking with ?"
Tangtang glared at him as if he were an idiot: "Otherwise, why do you think the Nandi Clan is so famous? Simply because I’m the so-called Goddess?"
Beining was caught off-guard, recalling why he went to the Nandi Clan in the first place. It seed it was his brothers who had provoked him, saying he couldn’t find a female and dared him to bring back the clever and wise Goddess from the Nandi Clan. Then he went, and indeed, he brought her back quickly to show his brothers.
But then they laughed at him for bringing back a female who was half-dead. Beining just wanted to prove himself, and he felt that a clever female like her should match a strong man like him. Pan Lin and others were too weak; they did not deserve to stay by her side. He thought he was liberating her, so why was there such disdain filled in her response?
