"internal injury?"

"For example, if internal organs rupture or bones are fractured, drinking this will bring immediate recovery."

Arthur stared intently at Guo Xiaoxiao, his eyes sharp as knives. Could she really make medicine? A female? Who taught her, or who could teach a female to make medicine?

Guo Xiaoxiao picked up the empty gourd, stood in the middle, and spun around like a model.

"One sip, and the medicine cures all ailments, prolongs life, and even..."

With long-term use, it is possible to achieve immortality and eternal life.

[System: You're exaggerating too much. Stop it. If you say too much, he won't believe you anymore.]

Guo Xiaoxiao awkwardly tried to ease the atmosphere.

"In short, I am the only one in the beast world who possesses the recipe for this potion."

Arthur squinted at her, her pupils clear and pure, seemingly unable to lie. This female was not to be underestimated. He asked...

"Where did you learn that, you female?"

Arthur's words hit the nail on the head. Guo Xiaoxiao was silent for a moment, then looked up and stared directly at Arthur.

"Never mind where I learned that. Just tell me, is it more precious than food? Is it enough to make you stop the war?"

Arthur thought for a long time, then decisively said...

"Okay, we'll do as you say. We'll go back, and you give me the recipe."

You mean what you say.

"certainly"

[System: Where are you going to find the recipe for him?]

Guo Xiaoxiao: I have a brilliant plan

In the end, Arthur gave an affirmative answer.

Guo Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief. A few strands of her hair fell across her forehead due to nervousness, obscuring her vision and making her look weak and helpless. Arthur grabbed her chin.

"However, you'll have to come back with me."

Guo Xiaoxiao was terrified. Arthur tightened his grip on her chin, causing her pain even through the animal hide. Guo Xiaoxiao struggled to speak.

"I... I guess I'll pass."

She was afraid that if she went with him, Arthur would do something to her. What if he wasn't satisfied with the formula she had created and killed her? Guo Xiaoxiao didn't want to die.

Do you think you can still walk?

Arthur hugged her waist and held her in his arms. Guo Xiaoxiao felt a chill run through her body. She was doomed!

"Withdraw"

Mikel was furious and yelled.

"Put her down, she is a female in our tribe."

Arthur ignored him and said

"I don't know if she's from your tribe, but she's now part of our tribe."

Mikel, enraged, tried to rush forward to fight, but was held back by the surrounding Blacktooth males. Arthur stared at Mikel.

"You'd better think this through. If you dare to make a move, I won't hesitate to kill you right here."

Arthur pulled the soft Guo Xiaoxiao into his arms and snuggled closer, then looked at Mikel. Guo Xiaoxiao didn't want Mikel to get hurt because of her.

"Mikel, step back and leave me alone."

"The female is right. Be smart, ignore her, your tribe is safe."

Monet's beard was practically twisted with rage. Regardless of whether Guo Xiaoxiao was a great witch or not, even if she were just an ordinary female, he wouldn't allow her to be taken away!

"Let's all fight him!"

Monet led the shouting

"Let's give it our all..."

"Kill them..."

"Then my sacrifice would have been in vain," Guo Xiaoxiao said, wrapping her arms around Arthur's neck and whispering in his ear.

"If they die, I won't live either, and you'll never get the formula."

Arthur lowered his head. She was just a breeding tool; what did her death have to do with him? He didn't like being threatened by females, but the formula was more important.

"OK"

Arthur instructed

"Retreat, move out!"

The mammoth and the summoned animals quickly retreated, and the orcs began to withdraw to the Blacktooth stronghold.

Mikel glared at them as they left, furious and jumping up and down. Those animals seemed to have some kind of intelligence, deliberately blocking his way so the orcs of the Feather Mountain tribe couldn't catch up.

Mikel gazed at the figure, "Xiaoxiao..."

Guo Xiaoxiao clung to Arthur's chest, terrified. She was truly scared to death. Luckily, he listened to her suggestion, or she would have perished here.

Arthur sat on the back of the mammoth, holding Guo Xiaoxiao tightly in his arms. Guo Xiaoxiao didn't complain much and stayed obediently in Arthur's arms.

Back in the tribe, Arthur carried Guo Xiaoxiao into his dwelling and placed her on the bed.

The other orcs began to rest, and many, having witnessed the miraculous effects of the female potion, started discussing it. Gradually, the conversation shifted from the potion to the very nature of females.

They were both single and didn't have much fun on a normal day, but today they met a new female. Although they didn't become partners, they could still connect emotionally.

Blacktooth decrees that new females arriving in the tribe must accept Blacktooth males, and the strongest males will compete to determine the victor, who will have the right to mate; the female cannot refuse.

"She's wrapped up so tightly you can't see her face, but the skin on her hands is very fair; she must be a beautiful female."

One of the orcs said, and the orc next to him echoed.

"Absolutely beautiful! Look at those arms and legs, wow, they're so thin I could hold them in one hand."

"Of course, she knows how to make potions; she's no ordinary female."

"Arthur took him back to the stone house. Could Arthur have really taken a liking to that female?"

The orcs speculated

Inside the room, Arthur pinned Guo Xiaoxiao to the bed and pressed close to her, questioning her.

Who exactly are you?

Guo Xiaoxiao was stunned. Arthur hadn't done anything to her; instead, he questioned her. She had thought Arthur would take advantage of the situation to do something, since Cang Jue's first act after kidnapping her was to force her into a relationship. Guo Xiaoxiao was at a loss. She stammered, thought for a while, and then said...

"I'm Guo Xiaoxiao. Have you forgotten that we've met twice before?"

Arthur said, "I asked you who taught you to make potions? You're not a female from Yushan, are you? They can't raise a female like you. Where are you from?"

Look how clever he is; he guessed it right, though Guo Xiaoxiao refused to admit it.

"I, I, I..."

She couldn't tell Arthur she came from another world, and even if she did, Arthur might not believe her, especially since she claimed to be a fox spirit. It seemed like he'd ask her endless questions.

"I've got it!" Guo Xiaoxiao exclaimed, suddenly struck by a brilliant idea.

"I come from Chongqing Tribe"

Arthur knew every continent—east, west, south, north, and north—as well as Chongqing; he'd never heard of it.

Arthur frowned, looking at her.

Seeing that he didn't understand, Guo Xiaoxiao quickly continued to deceive him.

"Chongqing is a beautiful mountain village, located right in the center of the mountains. It has a warm and pleasant climate all year round. I am a female from the Chongqing tribe. I sneaked out to play and couldn't find my way back. As luck would have it, I met Mikesen and Cangjue. They are kind and good-tempered, so I chose them as my mates."

Arthur then asked, "How did you get to Yushan?"

Let's set aside for now where she came from, how she ended up in Yushan, an unknown tribe we'd never heard of before. A female, without a male to protect her, trekking through mountains and rivers across the forest to reach Yushan—who does she think she is?

"I got separated from my tribe once and ended up in the Yushan tribe after getting lost."

Arthur's gaze was fixed on her as if he were interrogating her. Guo Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel nervous, and her words became incoherent. Suddenly, Arthur leaned down and whispered between her hair.

"At first you said you sneaked out, now you say you got separated from your people? Which one is true?"
