"Do you think I can't protect the tribe?" Mo Zhou said coolly.
"No...no, I think you're amazing."
Mo Zhou snorted.
He had been standing nearby the whole time and finally understood what was going on. Yu Wanwan didn't want to kill the mermaid, but they still needed to extract sea salt, and she was worried that releasing them would attract the mermaid clan. So she wanted to capture them first, extract the sea salt, and then release them after they left.
Mo Zhou naturally agreed with what the little female said. Even if it meant saving his rival in love, Mo Zhou gritted his teeth and accepted it.
However, Mo Zhou was still very unhappy, so he kept blasting cold air at You Yi.
After Mo Zhou dealt with You Yi's situation, Yu Wanwan turned to look at Liu Ge: "Liu Ge, can you stay here for now? We'll let you go back once we leave."
Liu Ge trusted Yu Wanwan completely, and despite Zhi Yang's objections, she smiled and nodded.
Youyi took the fishing net that Liuge used to catch fish, shook it clean of the fish and shrimp, then used the net to trap Zhiyang, threw him into the coconut grove, and sent people to guard him day and night.
Compared to him, the well-behaved and non-aggressive Liu Ge was treated much better. Not only was he not locked up, but he also had orcs help him apply medicine.
The ointment he's applying to his hand is the very one he gave Yu Wanwan, but it's ended up being used on himself.
At night, Mo Zhou carried Yu Wanwan to a mountain wall, used his snake tail to make a large hole, then laid animal hides and his own skin inside, and placed Yu Wanwan on it.
This location was far from the beastmen, so Mo Zhou wasn't worried about the two cold-blooded beastmen escaping. There were still so many tigers around; with their strength, they were simply not capable of escaping.
This cave is like a capsule room. Because it is very close to the sea, you can hear the sound of waves crashing against the rocks, and the cool sea breeze brings the salty smell of the sea.
Yu Wanwan rolled over on the bed, and Mo Zhou took out another piece of animal skin to use as a blanket for her before transforming into human form and lying on the bed.
He stretched out his long arm and pulled Yu Wanwan into his arms, holding her slender and soft waist tightly.
Yu Wanwan was uncomfortable from his grip. She struggled for a while but couldn't escape. Instead, Mo Zhou flipped her over and pinned her to the bed.
Mo Zhou was about to give the soft little female in his arms a big kiss when he heard her gasp. He thought he had hurt her, so he quickly got off her and asked, "Wanwan, did I hurt you?"
Yu Wanwan winced in pain, rolled over onto her back, and rubbed her bottom with her hand: "My bottom hurts."
This is the spot where she fell onto the seashell earlier today. She had already recovered, but she was so focused on protecting Liuge that she didn't notice the pain. Now that she's come to her senses, when Mo Zhou pressed down on her, a needle-like pain immediately shot from her buttocks to her brain, making it impossible for her to ignore.
Hearing that the little female's bottom hurt, Mo Zhou quickly moved closer to Yu Wanwan's waist and reached out to peel off her clothes: "Let me take a look."
Yu Wanwan did not resist, her snow-white skin exposed to Mo Zhou's eyes. His purple eyes became even deeper, shining with a faint light in the darkness.
"Mo Zhou, is my butt okay?" Yu Wanwan grumbled.
Hearing the little female's voice, Mo Zhou came back to his senses and carefully examined Yu Wanwan's injuries.
Her once fair and perky little bottom was now covered in black patches, with some areas even broken. The bloodstains on it had dried and turned into hard, black clots.
Mo Zhou's pupils contracted, not daring to touch Yu Wanwan's injured area. He gently rubbed the still fair and tender spot and asked anxiously, "Wanwan, this area is bruised. Does it hurt?"
Yu Wanwan trembled as he touched her. If it weren't for Mo Zhou's tense and concerned voice, she would have suspected that he was using the excuse of checking her injury to take advantage of her.
Mo Zhou's question only made things worse. Yu Wanwan felt her bottom hurt even more. She wondered if people in ancient times felt this much pain when they were spanked, but she was in excruciating pain.
"It hurts so much," Yu Wanwan's voice trembled with tears.
Mo Zhou became even more nervous. He looked around and felt annoyed that he hadn't brought any herbs with him on this trip.
"Wanwan, wait for me here. I'll go find some purple gromwell root to apply to your bottom."
He was about to leave when Yu Wanwan quickly grabbed him, asking, "Where are you going to look?"
Mo Zhou shook his head: "I don't know, but we should be able to find it if we look around."
Yu Wanwan was amused by his ignorant but fearless spirit. She said helplessly, "Where can I find purple grass by the sea? Don't go. I'm scared to be here alone."
Hearing that the little female was scared, Mo Zhou patted Yu Wanwan's head and comforted her gently, "Don't be afraid, I'm right here."
Yu Wanwan nodded and buried her face in his chest.
Mo Zhou: "What about your butt?"
Yu Wanwan: "..."
She lifted her head from Mo Zhou's embrace, and suddenly remembered something, saying happily, "Oh right, didn't Liu Ge bring me some ointment? I'll just apply that ointment and I'll feel better."
The mermaid did bring the ointment, and he used it himself, so it should be fine.
Mo Zhou gently covered Yu Wanwan's body with animal hide and kissed her on the cheek: "Wait for me here, I'll be back soon."
Yu Wanwan nodded.
Mo Zhou was very fast, and Yu Wanwan didn't have to wait long for him to return.
Mo Zhou lifted the animal skin, put the opened seashell aside, scooped out a little ointment with his finger, and gently applied it to Yu Wanwan's buttocks. The cool and slightly tingling sensation immediately masked the pain in her buttocks.
As Mo Zhou applied the medicine, he said, "The mermaid said that this medicine is most effective at promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. You will feel less pain soon after you apply it."
