Guo Xiaoxiao clutched her stomach, curled up in a ball, and sighed. The two of them had stopped; the operation was a success.

Several females also gathered around, and seeing Guo Xiaoxiao in such pain, they were quite concerned.

"Am I pregnant? I'm having baby pains."

"Quickly find a doctor to treat her."

The male orc was flustered and helpless. Several of his males were nearby, but they couldn't offer much help; things could easily escalate into a dispute over who would steal their female.

Players like Mikkson and Randy would be terrible to fight against, not to mention Arthur, even one Cang Jue would be enough to give them trouble.

We can only provide space to make way for Guo Xiaoxiao to breathe properly.

Randy transformed back into human form and ran to Guo Xiaoxiao's side. He squatted down, wanting to say something, but couldn't get the words out. It was a strange habit; whenever he got nervous around Guo Xiaoxiao, he couldn't speak and needed a while to catch his breath before he could utter a coherent sentence.

"Uh, oh, oh, what's wrong?"

Miksen was very anxious. The only way he could help was to take Guo Xiaoxiao to Monet so he could examine her; she might have eaten something that upset her stomach.

He even wondered if the food Ari brought was poisoned, but he and Arthur Cangjue ate it and were fine, so he dismissed the thought.

Arthur and Cang Jue also arrived. Cang Jue checked Guo Xiaoxiao's condition, frowned,

"Let's go find Alo."

Arthur interrupted them, not as nervous as they were.

"Take him straight back to the cave and I'll treat him."

Mickelson picked Guo Xiaoxiao up in his arms and asked, "Do you know how to treat illnesses?"

Arthur nodded. He was an all-rounder, always busy with research; there was nothing he didn't know.

“I will. Quickly carry her back to the cave and cover her with the animal hide to keep her warm. I'll go to Monet and get some herbs to treat her stomach so I can brew them for her.”

Sometimes a cold or being too cold can cause abdominal pain. Tonight, the temperature difference is too great; perhaps I caught a chill.

Without delay, Mickson carried Guo Xiaoxiao back to the cave.

Randy stared worriedly in the direction where Mickson and Guo Xiaoxiao had left, remaining frozen in place for a long time without making a reaction.

Seeing Randy lost in thought again, Abier ran over and patted Randy on the back of the head, saying...

"Why don't you hurry over there? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to show your skills! Also, go to our tribe and get some herbs to take over. If the female is really sick, you must stay by her side and take care of her."

Randy hesitated, "With the three of them around, how can I take care of her? I can't even get close to her."

Abier said, "Who said you have to get close to her? Just wander around their cave, leave your scent, assert your dominance. As long as Guo Xiaoxiao knows you care about her, even if you can't go in when she's sick, you still care about her."

Randy's eyes lit up for a moment: "That's right!"

Abier slapped him again and said

"What's right about it? Hurry up and go!"

He glanced down and saw blood flowing from Randy's abdomen, the animal hide torn open. Abil, unspeakable of his displeasure with Mickson, was moved and continued...

"Remember to treat the wound with herbs before you go."

Randy nodded and ran back to his tribe to get herbs from the veterinarian.

Orc 1: "This is boring. We're only halfway through, and the outcome is still uncertain."

Orc 2: "What can we do? The female is sick; are we just going to abandon her?"

Alright, alright, it's getting colder and colder, everyone let's disperse. The orcs, their enthusiasm waning, began to scatter back to their respective caves.

Some wanted to chat a little longer, so they returned to the bonfire area to continue warming themselves, chatting, and eating meat.

…

Guo Xiaoxiao was placed on the bed, and Cang Jue busied himself around the fire, boiling water for her. Mikeson anxiously held Guo Xiaoxiao's hand, looking her over with concern.

She was just trying to stall for time. How is this going to end? Why not just make a miraculous recovery and say, "Hey everyone, I'm all better now! My stomach doesn't hurt anymore! Yay!"

"Mickelson~"

"Um"

Guo Xiaoxiao's expression changed from pain to normal, and she was about to say, "I'm better now, my stomach doesn't hurt anymore,"

Arthur returned, carrying various herbs he had never seen before; some were pitch black, others were bright red.

What are all these things?

"Cang Jue, pour out two bowls of hot water, and give me the rest. I'll brew the medicine."

Cang Jue couldn't help but look puzzled when he saw the herbs in his hand. It turned out that he was often injured and was a good friend of A Luo.

Having received treatment at Alo's place, I'm somewhat familiar with herbs. Are the colorful herbs Arthur is taking edible?

"Are you looking for the medicine that Alo and Monet wanted? I've never seen herbs of this color before. Don't get the wrong medicine; taking the wrong medicine could be fatal."

Arthur fiddled with the herbs in his hand and said confidently.

"I went to Monet's shop, but they didn't have the variety I wanted. I got this from Alo, and it's very effective for stomach aches; one sip and it's cured instantly."

Someone was faking illness, and Arthur subtly revealed a smile in a hidden corner.

Cangjue's hands didn't stop working; it filled several bowls with hot water, leaving the rest for Arthur to handle himself.

"Really? I know Alo's pharmacy well, I've never seen anyone like you before."

Arthur: "Because he doesn't use it often, he kept it away. He gave it to me today because he needed to treat Xiaoxiao's illness. Don't ask any questions, get out of the way."

Cang reluctantly left his seat to make room for Arthur. He walked over to Guo Xiaoxiao and looked at her with concern.

"Xiaoxiao, is your stomach still hurting? We'll be done soon, just hang in there a little longer."

"Why would I drink medicine?" Guo Xiaoxiao realized this couldn't go on; otherwise, it would become clear she was sick. She had to smooth things over.

Seeing Guo Xiaoxiao's conflicted expression, Mickelson assumed she was in pain and became even more anxious, taking her hand in his.

"Xiaoxiao, where does your tummy hurt? Tell me."

"without……"

Guo Xiaoxiao experienced a sudden, dramatic resurgence of energy during her deathbed, clutching her stomach in a state of emotional turmoil.

"Oh, it doesn't hurt anymore, it's okay, it doesn't hurt at all!"

The pain on Guo Xiaoxiao's face was gone, replaced by a gentle smile.

Mickelson immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help worrying. The pain came and went so suddenly—what if it flared up again?

"It's good that you're alright, but you still need to be careful; you can't drink cold water casually anymore."

Taking advantage of this moment, Guo Xiaoxiao secretly withdrew her hand, a typical sign of guilt, while still maintaining a smile on her face.

"Micken, you're so kind."

Cang Jue is still squatting.

"Well, I care about you a lot too, Xiaoxiao."

Guo Xiaoxiao then said to Cang Jue

"Oh, whether it's you or Cang Jue."

Arthur sat by the fire, watching the herbs swirling in the water, listening to their conversation without interrupting.

I thought to myself, "They're all so lucky, they're all doing so well, but I'm the one who's not doing well!!!"

She felt a little resentful, but unlike Miksen and Cangjue, she wasn't prone to open confrontation or jealousy; she simply kept it bottled up inside.

Just then, Arthur came over with hot water.

"Xiaoxiao, drink some water first, then take your medicine."

He handed the stone bowl to Guo Xiaoxiao, who obediently took it and drank it. The hot water warmed her whole body.
