"There's no hope. He can't be saved."

"Lord Hu Yong, what a pity."

The witch doctors of Black Tiger City whispered among themselves.

Si Yan carefully examined Hu Yong from a distance. Hu Yong looked terrifying, but in reality, he only had external injuries.

"Why do you say it can't be cured?" Si Yan asked the witch doctor beside her.

The witch doctor recognized Si Yan as the teacher Hu Yong had brought back; they had great respect for wise people.

"Lord Hu Yong has too many wounds, especially the large wound on his thigh. Hu Yong is old, and his wounds heal slowly. The locust toxins have caused his skin to ulcerate, and then the flesh inside will also ulcerate, and he will die."

"Why not disinfect it?" Si Yan asked. "Disinfection can prevent infection."

"Disinfection?" the witch doctor asked, puzzled. "What is disinfection?"

Si Yan fell silent.

They don't even know how to disinfect?

Mingyan turned to her and asked, "Can you cure Hu Yong?"

Mingyan sat by Huyong's bedside and took Huyong's hand.

Perhaps because Hu Yong was an important person to him, Ming Yan's expression was stern, and when he asked her, his eyes already held a hint of expectation.

Si Yan could tell that Hu Yong was very important to her.

Si Yan remained silent.

The most powerful male in Black Tiger City said to her, "Teacher Si Yan, please save Hu Yong. I will agree to anything you ask if you can save Hu Yong."

Mingyan stared at her intently, and Siyan finally said, "Mingyan, I know you want me to join Black Tiger City. But if Black Tiger City bullies the four of us brothers, why should I join Black Tiger City? And why... help you save people?"

“Bullying?” Mingyan didn’t understand. Then he saw the three injured Dong Chi and his companions, and then looked at Hu Que.

"You were responsible for the female and the cub. Why were all three of them injured?" Mingyan demanded sharply.

Hu Que lowered his head: "My lord, those three were bullying Xiao Jie Ling. I couldn't bear to see the female cub being bullied, so I stepped in."

"Bullying?" Si Yan narrowed her eyes. "Wasn't it Jie Ling who insulted our brothers first?"

"Brother Si Yan!" Jie Ling didn't want Si Yan to dislike her, so she stepped forward to pull Si Yan away. "Don't be angry, don't misunderstand Jie Ling, don't dislike Jie Ling. Jie Ling likes you so much, Jie Ling wants to be your partner when she grows up..."

Si Yan: "..."

I bought a watch last year?

She must have had terrible luck for generations to be targeted by this womanizer.

Si Yan shook her off and said bluntly, "Thank you."

Mingyan's eyelids twitched, and finally, he stood up, the tall male bowing his head: "I'm sorry. I didn't manage Huque well."

Hu Que was stunned. In all his life, when had he ever seen an adult apologize?

Si Yan pointed at Jie Ling and said, "I don't like her."

Hearing Si Yan say this, Jie Ling felt as if she had been wronged by the greatest injustice: "Brother Si Yan, why are you doing this to me? I like you, I like you!"

Mingyan stared at Siyan with his deep, dark eyes.

Si Yan said, "It's not that I can't save Hu Yong. Ming Yan, what do you plan to do about Jie Ling?"

Mingyan's dark eyes grew even deeper.

Females are a very scarce and important resource in Black Tiger City, just like in Rock Village, where they are very indulgent towards them. Jie Ling, in particular, is a very popular young female.

However, Tiger Yong is just as important to Black Tiger City.

He couldn't choose between Hu Yong and Jie Ling.

Hu Que was furious: "As expected of a cold-blooded serpent beastman. Unfeeling, unreasonable, and aggressive—in short, wicked!"

"Shut up!" Ming Yan shouted sternly.

"My lord! You won't even let me talk about her? What skills does she have? She's got no ability whatsoever. I think she's just bluffing. There's no way she can save Hu Yong!"

Mingyan's dark eyes fixed on Hu Que, who felt a chill run down his spine and immediately shut his mouth.

Jie Ling was extremely shocked.

She genuinely couldn't understand what she had done to upset Si Yan.

But she wasn't flustered at this moment. She didn't believe that Black Tiger City would treat her badly because of Si Yan.

Si Yan smiled and said, "Lord Mingyan, if you teach Jie Ling a lesson and Hu Que apologizes to my three cubs, I'll agree to help you save Hu Yong. What do you say?"

Mingyan said softly, "Teacher Siyan, Jieling is, after all, a female."

Si Yan's eyelids twitched. "Sure enough, they're all the same." Her voice was even lower.

An older tiger-beastman couldn't stand it any longer: "My lord, with the locust plague upon us, we protected these four beastmen. These four brats are ungrateful and instead repay kindness with enmity, sowing discord. My lord, she has no ability to save Hu Yong. Please expel these four beastmen."

Si Yan gave the tiger-beastman a chilling look. Perhaps Si Yan's gaze was too cold, for the tiger-beastman was frightened by it and quickly changed his words, saying, "It would be best, it would be best to kill them!"

Si Yan looked up in surprise and raised her eyebrows slightly.

Isn't it said that the orcs of the Beast World are all pure and kind?

Stupidity was seen, but goodness was not.

Si Yan took out the snake scales from her waist and showed them to everyone. "As you can see, the snake scales in my hand belong to the father beasts of these three."

No one understood what she meant; they were all bewildered.

"Don't understand? It's okay." Si Yan walked to Hu Que's side. Before Hu Que realized what Si Yan was going to do, Si Yan squeezed Hu Que's hand tightly.

“Turn into claws,” Si Yan suddenly said.

Although Hu Que didn't understand, he still curiously turned his hand into a claw to see what Si Yan was going to do.

Si Yan picked up the tiger's claw and pressed it down gently, revealing the weapon inside, its sharp and fierce nails.
