"Injured? No, how could I be injured?" Lin Xia shook her head blankly, then suddenly remembered something and slapped her forehead.

"Oh! I remember now, today a pregnant female at the foot of the mountain slipped and fell in the snow, which startled her and caused her to have a difficult labor. I went to help her, and that's when she picked up the smell."

“I changed into clean clothes when I came back and washed them. Even Hu Shen could smell it.”

Su Tang breathed a sigh of relief. "So that's how it is."

Once at the table, Su Tang ate the meat that Hu Shen had put in her bowl, then turned to Lin Xia curiously and asked:

"Has the female who had a difficult labor given birth? How is she now?"

Giving birth is, in a sense, a brush with death.

"They're born, three bear cubs. They're quite big. The eldest died, and the female also suffered, but thankfully she survived..."

Lin Xia spoke of the infant who died young with a look of regret.

"If I had gone earlier, I might have survived. What a pity."

As she spoke, she whispered in Su Tang's ear, "I took the Ganoderma lucidum with me and boiled it into a decoction for her to drink. Otherwise, she wouldn't have survived until the baby was born, and both she and her unborn child would have died."

Since ancient times, childbirth has never been easy for females, so Su Tang naturally had no objection to being able to help that female and her newborn cubs.

Besides, the Ganoderma lucidum water wouldn't be easily discovered. Even if the beastmen became suspicious, they would only think that her mother's medical skills were superb and that she had saved the female in labor.

Afraid of scaring Su Tang and Ying Liuer, Lin Xia didn't say much and quickly changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, I even helped Nini give birth before we left. She gave birth to a chubby female baby, which was a delightful sight."
