"Jiang Cha, I heard you poisoned my daughter?"
His first words were a question, and only when his gaze swept over her protruding belly did the anger in his eyes subside slightly.
"Didn't you see Lin Bei, who is seriously injured?"
Jiang Cha did not answer his question, and went inside with the people behind her.
Lin Bei's injuries cannot wait.
After walking through a short passage, we entered a spacious cavern where many people were standing.
There were many stone beds covered with animal hides placed towards the back of the cave.
She quickly instructed A Cai's beast-taming servants to gently place Lin Bei on one of the stone beds.
On the other side, there were six or seven teenagers, busy with their own tasks.
High Priest Ragu was standing next to one of the stone beds, on which lay Liuli, who had been scratching at him.
There were two other people standing at the foot of their bed.
One was the burly man A Biao, who was covered in bruises, and the other was the charming and lovely saintly Zhou Ruanruan.
Both of them looked at Liuli, who was on the verge of collapse, with worried expressions.
"High Priest, please help me stop the itching! I'm so itchy all over!"
"It was that bitch Jiang Cha who poisoned me. She's so cruel; she just wanted me dead!"
"Torture me to death even before you die!"
High Priest Ragu remained expressionless, simply touching and looking around, ignoring Liuli's insults.
Zhou Ruanruan said gently, "Priest, I only saw Jiang Cha sprinkle some powder on Sister Liuli. Is this poison?"
"That bitch, I shouldn't have spared her beastly husband's life, they both deserve to die!"
Ah Biao vigorously wiped the blood from his face and said viciously, "If Liuli doesn't recover, I'll use their flesh and blood to appease her..."
"Quiet."
High Priest Ragu reached out and grabbed a handful of herbs, stuffing them into Liuli's mouth.
The bright green medicine dripped into her mouth, and she fainted shortly afterward.
The high priest's warning silenced the two of them.
Just then, the clan chief walked over.
He asked with a grim face, "Is Liuli alright?"
High Priestess Ragu naturally had to give the clan chief some face, so she shook her head and said, "It's a medicine that makes people itch all over, but it's not poisonous. It will get better in a couple of days."
Jiang Cha gathered some medicinal herbs for treating external injuries from the cave. After hearing the high priest's words, she couldn't help but sigh, "Ragu really has some skills. I underestimated the wisdom of the orcs."
"Girl Jiang, you really know how to cure illnesses?"
Watching her skillfully crush the medicinal herbs and carefully apply them to Lin Bei's body, A Cai couldn't help but ask.
"Well, didn't I prove it to you the first time we met?"
"That's wonderful. You're pregnant and skilled in medicine, so the clan leader definitely won't do anything to you."
As soon as A-Cai finished speaking, she saw the clan chief walking towards them.
"Jiang Cha, why did you drug Liu Li? Who taught you this method?"
His words were harsh, every sentence a accusation.
"My partner is lying in bed right now, his life hanging in the balance. I have no time to answer these questions."
Ignoring the clan leader's question, Jiang Cha continued to gently apply medicine to Lin Bei.
The external wounds have been treated, but the internal injuries are much harder to manage. It takes a normal human a hundred days to recover from a broken bone or muscle, so who knows how long an orc would need to rest?
"Even if you're pregnant, you can't act lawlessly and bully others."
"I bullied someone? Who did I bully? Don't you know anything about what happened today?"
The clan chief's eyes darted around as he quickly said, "I don't care what happened, it's wrong of you to drug your clansmen."
"So, it's perfectly acceptable for your daughter to want to kill the tribe's offspring, and for your daughter's partner to kill someone else's partner?"
After applying the medicine, Jiang Cha stood up and stared straight at him, her coldness making it impossible for anyone to look her in the eye.
"Isn't your baby perfectly fine? And your partner isn't dead either, so what nonsense are you spouting?"
The clan chief waved his hand impatiently, "I'm even starting to doubt whether the child in your belly is real or not."
High Priest Ragu suddenly spoke up: "So, does the chieftain distrust my medical skills?"
The chieftain immediately put on a smile, "Not at all, how could I not trust the High Priest? It's just that I've heard there's a fake pregnancy drug in the Beast World Forest, and I'm afraid..."
"snort!"
Ragu snorted coldly, "Even the best birth control pills can't simulate fetal movement. The baby in her belly is already formed. If you don't even have this much brainpower, you've been the clan leader for nothing all these years."
Clan Chief: "..."
He was somewhat embarrassed and angry, but this was just a guess, so naturally he couldn't blame anyone else.
“Even if she is indeed pregnant, you can’t drug the females of the tribe. Look at the scratches on Liuli’s body. She just gave birth to her cubs not long ago. As her father, I have to get justice for her.”
High Priest Ragu remained silent this time. The chieftain himself was a fourth-tier orc, and his son was the strongest in the tribe. He was the one who set the tribe's rules, and most of the orcs in the tribe respected him.
“That’s right, clan leader, look at the injuries on Liuli’s body. It breaks my heart to see her like this. If the cubs want to drink milk, there will be no way to feed them now that Liuli is injured like this.”
Ah Biao glared at Jiang Cha, his anger blazing. "If it weren't for the fact that you're female and pregnant, I would have killed you long ago."
“Chief, you can’t be so biased. A Biao almost beat someone’s partner to death. He should pay the price for it.”
Ah Cai was getting a headache listening to this. In the entire cave, Jiang Cha's partner was the most seriously injured, but they all ignored him.
Fortunately, she had just secretly asked one of her beastmen to invite the forestry department, hoping that the deputy chieftain could lend a hand.
"What's it to you?"
A Biao spat and said righteously, "He pinched Liu Li's wrist, I'm only doing the deputy clan leader a favor by not killing him!"
The chieftain, who had initially felt somewhat guilty, straightened his back upon hearing this. "In that case, no one else is to blame. Male beastmen who harm females should be severely punished!"
"Lin Bei was just protecting me; he didn't intentionally harm any females. If he deserves to be killed for that, then there's nothing more to say."
Anyway, saying more won't make any difference.
She had already planned to leave once Lin Bei had recovered from his injuries, given birth to her baby, and received the system reward.
I used to think that with her medical skills, she would definitely gain the high priest's favor and would be able to do well here with her baby.
Unfortunately, she was disappointed again and again in a very short time.
She found it disgusting to be in this tribe with such a biased, greedy leader.
"You have nothing to say, so I'll have to talk about you. You've just come back and caused such a big mess. Jiang Cha, you're to blame."
The clan chief's eyes were full of calculation. He announced in a very fast voice, "A Biao has seriously injured a member of the clan. He is punished by having to provide 300 catties of animal meat and 100 catties of fruit for the clan."
"Your ginger tea harmed your people, and you poisoned them, causing the females to be unable to nurse their young. As punishment, you will have to work for the High Priest for free for two years after you give birth to the child!"
