Chapter 64 Back to Bad Dad's House?

Yuanyuan took out the cooling medicine that the system rewarded her from her backpack and handed it to the Great Shaman: "Great Shaman, dilute this with water and feed it to them."

The high shaman took the herbs, nodded, and immediately went to prepare.

Everyone got busy.

Some orcs went to the nearby oasis to fetch water, while others made simple fans out of leaves to fan the sick females.

Several females wiped their bodies with wet animal hides as Yuanyuan instructed.

Yuanyuan squatted down next to a female, touching her cheek with her little hand. It was burning hot; she could tell it was over 39 degrees Celsius without even needing a thermometer.

The female looked young, with a hint of resistance in her eyes, and her brows were tightly furrowed even while she was unconscious.

Yuanyuan sighed inwardly. She could imagine how scared and helpless this female must have felt, being forced to leave her tribe and come to a strange desert.

"Don't be afraid, it will be alright."

Mo Jiu stood aside watching the busy Yuan Yuan, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

He knew that the captured females were unwilling; these days, they had refused to communicate with the people in the tribe.

They eat very little each day.

He knew it was wrong to do this, but he had seen no new life being born in the tribe for too long.

Every day they faced familiar faces, and over time the orcs gradually became numb. The tribe was lifeless and deathly silent.

He had no other choice.

In fact, it's not just them who fight over females; some tribes even resort to cannibalism when there's no food during the cold season.

Everything is for survival.

These females were said to have been taken back from the tribe, but to be precise, they were taken from stray animals.

He believed that he was treated much better in his tribe than if he had been captured by wild animals.

At least they didn't force each other to mate.

“Yuanyuan,” Mo Jiu walked to her side and said softly, “Thank you.”

Yuanyuan looked up at him and said, "Father Mojiu, no need to thank me. Every life is precious."

She paused, then mustered her courage and said, "Father, the females we kidnapped are actually unwilling. They are not used to the environment here and will not truly integrate into the tribe."

"If the tribe wants to reproduce, you can't just steal women; you have to get the females to stay willingly."

Mo Jiu fell silent. He knew Yuan Yuan was right, but he couldn't think of any other solution for the moment. The desert environment was harsh, and few females were willing to come here voluntarily. There were also too few native females in the tribe, making reproduction an extremely difficult task.

“Father, it’s true that you want to reproduce, but females need to be in a relaxed state, both physically and mentally, which is very difficult for them!”

Mo Jiu lowered his eyes and remained silent.

“They are not suited to life here, and continuing like this will kill them.”

Just then, the shaman came over with a pot of herbal water that had been boiled: "Yuanyuan, the medicine is ready."

Yuanyuan immediately ordered, "Quickly, feed them small amounts frequently."

Everyone carefully fed the sick females medicine, and before long, their body temperature began to drop slowly, and their breathing gradually became steady.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the situation improving.

Several females walked up to Yuanyuan and patted her on the shoulder. "Little envoy Yuanyuan, you're amazing!"

"If it weren't for you, they might have been in danger."

Yuanyuan smiled at them, "You're welcome, it's what I should do."

...

As night deepened, the desert temperature dropped rapidly, and a cool breeze dispelled the daytime heat.

The sick female has woken up; although she is still a little weak, she is fine now.

They looked at the orc females surrounding them with mixed emotions, including gratitude and wariness.

Yuanyuan handed them water and gently comforted them, "You should rest well and don't worry."

It's safe here; no one will hurt you.

One of the females hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Thank you."

This was the first time they had taken the initiative to speak to the people in the tribe since they came to this tribe.

"No matter where you are, living is the most important thing. Since you're here, settle down and enjoy your stay!"

As long as you're alive, there's hope.

The females had their heads down, so it was unclear whether they were listening or not.

Yuanyuan didn't stay long and got up to go back to her room.

As soon as Yuanyuan entered the room, she threw herself onto the bed. The little snake coiled around her wrist and rubbed against her with its cold body.

The little wolf lay down at her feet, resting its head on her leg, whimpering softly.

"Little snake, little wolf, you're really exhausted today."

Yuanyuan patted the little snake's head, feeling tired but content.

"Although I couldn't go home right away, I'm happy to have helped others."

A system notification suddenly sounded in his mind: [The host has successfully rescued four females suffering from heatstroke, completing an extra mission. Reward: 100 points, 1 Pregnancy Pill.]

What are points used for?

[The Space Shop can be unlocked once you accumulate 1000 points.]

Yuanyuan's eyes lit up; she hadn't expected such an unexpected bonus!

How many points do I have now?

[Host's current points: 120.]

“…”

Well, we're still a long way from a thousand.

She left the fertility pills behind, but decided to leave early this morning.

I don't know if Mom has been discharged from the hospital yet.

...

At midnight that night, the system reappeared and brought her back to the real world.

Strangely, this time she didn't appear at the Forestry Bureau, but at her home, at her father's house.

I just happened to see my dad being taken away by the police.

The bad father who imprisoned and beat his mother and tried to drown her in the sea has been arrested, as has his mistress aunt.

The living room was a mess, and several uniformed police officers were escorting the bad father away.

“You’ve got it wrong! My husband is the richest man in Haicheng! Do you know how much charity he’s done for Haicheng?”

It's just some trivial matter based on rumors; release him immediately!

A woman cried out and tried to rush forward, but Gu Youran held her back tightly.

She was the mistress who had thrown her into the sea with her father.

She was wearing an expensive silk nightgown, but now she was sitting on the carpet in a disheveled state, her hair was messy, and her eyes were red and swollen. I don't know how long she had been crying.

The man being supported by two police officers was Yuanyuan's father, Gu Shi'an.

He was usually impeccably dressed and refined, but now his expensive custom-made suit was crumpled, his tie was crooked, and his face had lost its usual composure, replaced by an incredulous panic.

He struggled and growled, "I'm warning you, no one in Haicheng dares to touch my Gu family!"

This is just a formality; I'll be out in a minute!

He thought that, like before, this time he could simply bribe his way out of it.

After all, over the years, he had woven an impenetrable network of relationships in Haicheng through power-money transactions.

Given enough time, he could find a way to exonerate himself even for the crimes of imprisoning and beating his wife and murdering his own daughter.

"Oh…"

For some reason, Yuanyuan suddenly felt like laughing.

Her voice was very soft, but Gu Shi'an caught it.

His gaze inadvertently swept across the doorway, finally settling on Yuanyuan.

Time seemed to stand still.
