Lin Bei's recovery is going quite well; perhaps it's due to the miraculous effects of her medicine, or perhaps it's the allure of the night...
Jiang Cha, who had been "served" so well, felt sore and weak. It wasn't until the cub on the stone bed started squeaking that she blushed and pushed the person away.
"I'll do it."
Lin Bei wiped his lips, still feeling a bit unsatisfied, and helped her, whose legs were weak, to sit on the edge of the bed. He then skillfully picked up the little cub, wiped the dirt off its body, and gently patted its head. Before long, the cubs had all fallen asleep.
"You're so skilled!"
In her memory, this was the first time Lin Bei had ever taken care of a cub.
"I consulted Uncle Ali, and... I even secretly watched how they cared for the cubs..."
Lin Bei's gentle gaze fell on her somewhat tired face. "From now on, I will definitely take good care of you and the cub."
"Yes, I believe you."
As soon as Jiang Cha finished speaking, she couldn't help but yawn. She had been taking care of the cubs and was already sleep-deprived. Tonight, she had also rescued a wolf and indulged herself a bit. She simply couldn't resist the temptation of sleepiness.
Lin Bei looked down helplessly, sighed softly, and then limped away.
Hearing his heavy breathing and thinking of the pained expression on Lin Bei's handsome face, Jiang Cha chuckled softly as she lay on the bed, "Actually, you don't have to endure it so much."
The next morning, Ah Jiao and Ah Hong saw that Jiang Cha was still fast asleep, so they didn't disturb her. Instead, they took the cubs out for a stroll again.
When Jiang Cha groggily woke up, her cubs had already wandered back.
"I'm so angry, I think she did it on purpose."
"Gillian, perhaps... it really was an accident?"
"Ah Hong, you're just too kind-hearted. She's probably just jealous of Sister Jiang, that's why..."
Shh...don't say it.
Two little girls walked in, one with a puffed-up face and the other with a melancholy expression. Jiang Cha couldn't pretend not to know anything.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
These two must have been waiting for her to say that. As soon as she asked, Gillian immediately told her loudly what had just happened.
It turned out that they were taking their cubs out for a stroll, and a group of females came to tease them out of envy, but they were all very careful. Only the Holy Female Zhou Ruanruan insisted on carrying the cubs high into the air, which resulted in the first and second cubs being dropped.
Are they alright?
Jiang Cha immediately picked up two of the cubs and examined them carefully.
“It’s nothing serious, but we told the chieftain, and she said it was because we didn’t catch it properly, and the cub was perfectly fine. She said we were making a mountain out of a molehill.”
Ah Jiao stomped her feet in anger, "It was clearly her who insisted on carrying the little ones up high, and then blamed us for not catching them. What's worse, the clan leader believed her and told us not to take the cubs out for no reason, because if something happens, we'll be fully responsible."
Jiang Cha didn't know how the cubs were categorized by size, but the priest could tell at a glance and even numbered them from small one to small eight.
Watching the cubs change every day until they become a group of fluffy white mice, she couldn't take on the role of a mother at all, and always felt like she was raising a group of pets.
But in reality, although the cubs are in animal form, they are actually the core of human thought and grow very quickly.
At first, they ate, drank, and relieved themselves all in bed. After being trained for two days, they started to whimper in advance. However, it was still quite troublesome to take care of all eight cubs at the same time. If it weren't for Ah Jiao and Ah Hong, she definitely wouldn't have been able to take care of them all by herself.
In just a few days, the little ones have already started to depend on her.
As soon as Jiang Cha touched the heads of Xiao Yi and Xiao Er, the two started whimpering, as if they had suffered a great injustice.
She looked down and examined them closely, only to find that the two little ones had many tiny red spots on their bodies. They seemed to be in pain, which was why they kept whimpering.
"Children One and Two have been poisoned."
Jiang Cha's voice turned cold as she gently stroked the backs of the two little ones. "From now on, don't take them out."
"ah?"
Ah Hong examined it closely in utter astonishment. When she discovered the small red dot, her eyes reddened. "This... what kind of poison is this? I... I've never seen anything like it before!"
Ajiao gritted her teeth in anger, "Ah, it must have been that bitch Zhou Ruanruan who did it. I'm going to find the priest and the chieftain right now. So what if she's a holy female? Orcs who harm cubs don't deserve to be a member of our tribe."
"Calm down."
Jiang Cha stopped her, saying calmly, "Since the clan leader was on Zhou Ruanruan's side just now, if you go over there now, do you think the clan leader will believe you? Will Zhou Ruanruan admit it?"
Ah Hong nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Ah Jiao, she definitely won't admit it. The clan leader might even blame us, saying that we didn't take good care of the cubs and slandered the Holy Mother!"
"What should we do then? Are we just going to let it go like this?"
Gillian Chung is a straightforward person with no ulterior motives. Although she can be a bit impulsive, she is also quite receptive to advice.
"Don't worry, I'll make her pay at the banquet in seven days."
Seeing that the other cubs were also asking to be petted, Jiang Cha simply comforted them all, "Now, go find the priest to get medicine, I can heal them."
"Okay, I have a good memory, Sister Jiang, tell me the name of the medicine."
Afraid that Ajiao would lose control of her emotions, Ah Hong quickly said after writing down the medicinal herbs, "I'll go get the medicine now. Ajiao, you stay here and help out."
Fortunately, this poison only causes symptoms such as itching and hair loss, and does not harm life. Jiang Cha's eyes darkened, and after thinking for a long time, she could not find out from her memory when she had offended Zhou Ruanruan.
