Guo Xiaoxiao's clothes were taken off, and she kept covering her chest, feeling extremely embarrassed, even though she had already been completely naked.

Everyone knows each other's weight and body size, so it's still a little embarrassing to splash water on each other.

Cang Jue: "Put your hands down, I'll pour some more water on your front and stomach. Don't be shy, I've already seen everything."

Guo Xiaoxiao: "Ah... um, won't this affect the baby? It's too cold."

Cang Jue: "Don't worry, it won't affect anything. I'll give you a little extra so you can stay cooler."

As Cang Jue spoke, he picked up a small piece of animal hide from the side, moistened it with water, and wiped it all over Guo Xiaoxiao's body. Guo Xiaoxiao's face flushed.

Having not refused Cang Jue's service, and with their stomachs calmed down and they returned to a state of complete numbness, the little snakes seized the opportunity to scurry back into the large water tank.

Cang Jue wiped her eyes very carefully. Actually, he was also very hot, and the sweat dripping into his eyes, with its saltiness, would sting his pupils, but he endured it and continued to wipe the water from Guo Xiaoxiao's eyes.

Guo Xiaoxiao closed her eyes, trying not to think about such things, because her head was spinning and she felt feverish all over. After Cang Jue continuously wiped her down, she finally felt her temperature drop and the high fever subside.

Cang Jue: "Is it comfortable?"

Guo Xiaoxiao nodded; she felt really comfortable.

After more than half an hour, the temperature returned to normal, so I stopped pouring water on myself and started using cold water instead; it actually made me feel colder.

After Cang Jue finished wiping himself, he threw away the water ladle, sat down to rest, and scooped up some water to wash his face.

Guo Xiaoxiao lay on the animal hide, her fair skin exposed. Last month, sensing the temperature drop, he put the animal hide back on Guo Xiaoxiao's body. The little snakes also came out of the water tank.

"It seems that's all in the past."

"Let's go home. It's getting late, and the temperature is dropping quickly. You're soaking wet. We'll get you a new animal skin when we get home."

As Cang Jue spoke, he picked up Guo Xiaoxiao and walked out. A Luo was outside the door. The red light in the sky gradually disappeared. He turned around and bumped into Cang Jue and Guo Xiaoxiao.

"Oh, you've finally decided to come out. Does the female have a stomachache? Want me to take another look?"

Guo Xiaoxiao touched her lower abdomen: "No need, I didn't feel anything when the temperature dropped, it was probably because of the heat."

A Luo: "It's very inconvenient for you to be pregnant, so try not to move around too much lately. You only have one month left."

Cang Jue was still worried: "A Luo, why don't you give Xiao Xiao some medicine? Are you sure she's okay? She said her stomach hurts."

Guo Xiaoxiao immediately refused upon hearing about taking medicine. She never wanted to drink those bitter medicines again, absolutely not.

"No, I'm really better. You don't need to give me any more herbs. If I feel unwell, I can just come to A'Luo again. No need to bother."

A Luo stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and decided that to ensure the health of the fetus, he should give Guo Xiaoxiao some herbal medicine to take home.

"No, we have to be careful. Wait for me a moment, I'll get you some herbs, we can go back and brew them for her to drink."

Cang Jue: "Alright, I'll wait for you to give me some herbs. It'll be safer if I drink some."

A Luo walked towards the stone house, but Guo Xiaoxiao resisted and struggled in Cang Jue's arms.

"I already said I'm fine, I don't want to drink that, I'll just drink the Rejuvenation Water. Cang Jue, tell A Luo not to get any more medicine from me."

Cang Jue hugged Guo Xiaoxiao tightly.

"I'll use yellow medicine to brew medicine for you. If something happens to the little baby in your belly, it's worse than parasites. If you die before the child is even born, how can I live in this world?"

It can't be that serious! It's just discomfort causing normal fetal movement. Guo Xiaoxiao knows a little about fetal theory, but she doesn't know if it's true or not. But since there's no movement in her belly, she firmly believes there's nothing wrong.

"It doesn't warrant taking medicine. I just heated it up. Honestly, I won't drink it, even if you give it to me."

"No, you have to eat it."

Cang Jue did this for Guo Xiaoxiao's health; he couldn't let the females act as they pleased.

A Luo gathered the herbs and handed them to Cang Jue: "Here, I got these for you for two days. Drink a bowl before each meal to ensure the baby's safe delivery. Remember, drink it before meals, otherwise it will affect the medicine's effectiveness."

Okay, thanks.

Cang Jue changed his position, holding Guo Xiaoxiao in his arms with one hand, letting her sit on his lap, and taking the herb packet with his other hand.

Guo Xiaoxiao had no choice but to lean closer and smell it; it tasted very bitter. She frowned.

"Are you sure it's medicine to cure the illness? And not poison?"

Alo: "Of course! This herb is for dispelling cold and replenishing blood. It can regulate your bodily functions and is beneficial for the cubs. Just drink it obediently."

My God, this is absolutely inedible, how can anyone drink it? Guo Xiaoxiao tried her best.

"I'm really fine, Cang Jue, don't brew it for me, I won't drink it. Just give it to me, I'll pour it for you."

A Luo felt that Guo Xiaoxiao had gone too far; she was pregnant, how could she not take care of herself?

Actually, you can't blame Guo Xiaoxiao. It was the trauma Carlos inflicted on her by feeding her bowl after bowl of food.

The herbal water Carlos fed her back then came in all sorts of colors—green, purple, red—and the taste was simply... intoxicating, making her scalp tingle.

Cang Jue insisted, "You must drink it. You'll feel better if you drink it. I'll cook it for you when we get back."

Ah… Guo Xiaoxiao wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Cang Jue, please don't do it for me anymore, I don't need it."

Alo, unable to bear it any longer, said, "Hey, little female, you should think about your baby instead of yourself! You're not taking your medicine, are you? You'll forget about it when your stomach hurts."

Cang Jue smiled after hearing A Luo's words.

"I don't care what Xiaoxiao's attitude is, I have to eat today. Okay, I'm not dawdling with you anymore, the sun is about to set, I have to go back, it's almost dark."

Alo: "Okay, I'm going back now. Remember to bring me some water!"

Cang Jue answered as he walked.

Okay, tomorrow.

The little snakes nodded to A Luo and quickly followed Guo Xiaoxiao home.

On the way, we encountered a group of orcs who had just received the fiery roasting and were tidying up their stone house.

Those people's gazes shifted inscrutable when they saw Guo Xiaoxiao and Cang Jue, but none of them dared to approach. Cang Jue led Guo Xiaoxiao through them.

Some people mustered up their courage and came over to ask.

"What happened to the High Priest? Is he injured?"

Before Guo Xiaoxiao could answer, Cang Jue said dismissively.

"It's a minor issue, nothing serious. Just get on with your work, don't ask any more questions, I'm leaving."

Cang Jue's power was quite formidable; the orcs dared not disturb him further.

Cang Jue carried Guo Xiaoxiao all the way home. Guo Xiaoxiao remained silent, her mind filled with the agonizing memory of drinking the herbal concoction. She felt no love, no joy in the world; it was pure torture.

Back at the castle, Arthur and the others returned as well. They simply stopped wearing clothes and started splashing water on themselves.

Inside the castle, there's a small opening connected to a mountain spring, from which water drips continuously, albeit slowly, ensuring a constant supply of water.

There are also wells in the Beast City, and so far there are no parasites in them. The orcs boil the water before drinking it. If they want to drink cold water, they also boil it and let it cool before drinking.
