Bai Xue has always felt guilty towards Bai Yingying.

She was timid by nature and would only obey whatever her elders said. Sometimes, she would try to help Bai Yingying in private, but it was all in vain.

But she had no choice, especially when she realized that females are never in control of themselves.

"You've seen my injuries, haven't you? Are they frightening?" Bai Xue smiled bitterly. "I used to be in pain, unable to sleep every day. But the pain has gone away in the past two days. I thought it was healed, but when I touched it secretly, all I saw was pus and blood..."

Bai Xue couldn't continue. She choked and said, "I know I can't survive." She sniffed and touched her nightgown with trembling hands. "Such precious fine cloth is a waste on me... Yingying, you shouldn't let me wear it..."

Bai Yingying interrupted her, "This is the chief witch of our tribe. She is very skilled in medicine. She has already treated you. You will survive."

Bai Xue then looked at Mu Zhaozhao and nodded gently, "Thank you, Lord Chief Witch."

She paused, "Witch Jiang died a long time ago, and now Jiang Zi is the tribal witch. She charges a high fee for her medical treatment, and I can't afford it..."

Mu Zhaozhao exclaimed, "What?!"

Tribal witches are usually supported by the tribe, and females are precious. If you have any health problems, you will not be asked for extra compensation when you go to the witch doctor's cave.

How did it become like this now?

Bai Xue lowered her head and spoke slowly, "Not long after the Golden Dog Tribe left, our land was seized. So we had no choice but to find another place to live. We finally managed to survive the winter, but after spring, the Shiwan Mountains saw many more outsiders. Once we found a new place to live, we were driven out again, and we became a completely nomadic tribe."

"However, in the spring, a large number of orcs poured into the mountains. With the increase in the number of orcs, the mountains are no longer dangerous, but famine has occurred. Hunting has also become increasingly difficult..."

"Soon, the tribe heard that Ah Ying had become a goddess and was in Caohu. So, we headed towards the Central Plains again. But even advancing along the foot of the mountain, it was still full of difficulties. Besides constantly encountering fleeing orcs, there were many battles. The most important reason was... lack of food."

"Although the tribe didn't disband, each family was on their own, responsible for their own food. My beastmen weren't very talented to begin with, and they died in the repeated clashes. So I returned..."

Bai Xue paused, swallowed hard, tears welled up in her eyes, and she choked out, "I've returned 'home'..."

"But my grandfather died in winter, and my father wasn't very talented. When we had nothing to eat at home, he used my body to trade with other orcs in the tribe, or with fleeing orcs outside, or wandering orcs..."

When survival becomes the top priority, human nature is fully exposed.

Home is no longer home, but a den of demons that controls her.

Why are females so precious? They are indeed precious, and they can be exploited by them anytime and anywhere.

"I thought about dying, but my father threatened me with the cubs, so I had no choice but to give up... I gave birth to two cubs, one of which died. This little guy is my life. How could I bear to leave him to die? If I died, my father would never care about him again..."

Bai Xue burst into tears. She had wanted to commit suicide for a long time.

Her biological father had used her cubs to force her to trade her body for food. She had lost count of how many 'clients' she had been forced to accept. As her lower body grew increasingly numb, she knew her life was coming to an end.

If she hadn't met Shi Meng, she would have died long ago.

However, the injuries to her lower body had never been properly treated. Due to the hot weather and poor hygiene, the injuries naturally became more and more serious, reaching the current level.

Bai Xue looked at Bai Yingying and begged, "Aying, can you help me a little longer? Help me take the cub in. He's only three years old and doesn't know anything. You can give him to another family for adoption. Please help me..."

She felt so weak that she couldn't even kneel down and beg. She could only look at Bai Yingying with tears in her eyes, hoping that she would help her because of their childhood friendship.

She felt no gratitude towards Bai Yingying, and had no confidence that she could get her to save her cub. She could only swallow her shame and expose her scars to gain sympathy. She had lost all hope of survival, and only wanted to fight for a glimmer of hope for her only cub.

Bai Yingying closed her eyes to hide the surging emotions in her heart. When she opened her eyes again, she said to Bai Xue seriously, "I promise you, I will bring him over."

"Thank you..." Bai Xue burst into tears. After receiving the affirmation, she finally couldn't help but fainted.

She had already been tortured, and the treatment on her lower body was extremely painful. Her body had long been pushed to its limit.

Bai Yingying personally laid the bed flat and looked at Mu Zhaozhao, "Zhaozhao, you arrange for someone to take care of her. I'll go and arrange the rest first."

Mu Zhaozhao nodded with tears in her eyes. She was an emotional person. After hearing about Bai Xue's experience, she was already angry and upset, and felt sorry for the injustice suffered by females.

She clenched her fists, not knowing how to vent the anger in her heart...

After Bai Yingying was settled, she left the Witch Hospital and happened to meet Xiang Rao face to face.

Xiang Rao said unhappily, "Don't you see what time it is? Even if you want to save someone, you can't starve yourself, right?"

He had just finished his work and returned to the western-style building, only to find out that Bai Yingying had not returned yet and was staying in the clinic of the witch hospital. The other beastmen did not dare to disturb her, so he came in person.

Bai Yingying didn't answer him, but pulled him silently towards the Gray Elephant Tribe. Some distance away from the witch hospital, there was a small building.

She pulled Xiang Rao into the house, closed the door, and whispered, "Arao. Do me a favor..."

"What's wrong?"

"I want you to send someone to help me get rid of all the rabbit hunters except the cubs..." Bai Yingying raised her eyes, her eyes filled with murderous intent. She whispered, "Let's do it tonight."

The rabbit hunting tribe was brought back by Shi Meng. Although they did not make a big fuss along the way, they were still seen by many people.

She had not originally intended to kill the rabbit hunters directly, but after what Bai Xue said, she did not want to keep these filthy orcs.

Bai Yingying has experienced the end of the world and knows that in desperate circumstances, people will do anything to survive. She can also understand people who will do anything to survive.

Simply because this is the way to survive in the end times.

But she always has a bottom line.

Besides being extremely disgusted with cannibals.

Another one is: the act of forcibly selling female bodies.

This is a despicable act by an incompetent person! It is a trampling on women's dignity and rights, which is completely intolerable for her as a woman!
