Chapter 25 As expected of the Holy Hero's daughter
After thinking it over, Shu Ning decided to go find Mu Xia first, since the matter of parasites was no small matter. She would go find Yi Yuan after everything was over.
The beggar's chicken wasn't ready so quickly. While waiting, she sorted and organized the leftover medicinal herbs from yesterday and ground the peppercorns into a fine powder.
Next, clean up the debris in front of the hole, cut off the excess branches and trunks with an electric saw, split them with a large bone knife, and dry them to prepare them for use as firewood.
Shu Ning was exhausted after doing all this, and guessed that the chicken was cooked.
She gently opened it with a stick, and the aroma instantly filled the air, making her mouth water.
Shu Ning immediately picked up a piece of chicken, skin and meat included, which looked very appetizing.
It tastes even better; the meat is fresh and tender, and it's so much tastier than the factory-farmed chickens she used to eat.
However, she wouldn't dare eat wild animals in modern times.
Those are all protected animals. Who knows if enjoying a delicious meal today will result in receiving a pair of silver bracelets tomorrow?
After breakfast, she took a little of each type of the remaining medicinal herbs from yesterday to Muxia's residence.
Muxia Cave Mansion —
Mu Xia's cave dwelling is very large. It is not where she sleeps, but a place she usually uses to receive guests and handle clan affairs.
As soon as I arrived outside Muxia Cave, I heard them discussing something inside.
The voices inside included older and younger people, male and female voices... and it seemed that Xiao Chong and Xuan Lin were among them.
The voice wasn't loud, but it sounded somewhat serious.
She didn't go in to disturb them, planning to wait until they finished before going in.
Do you know what they're talking about?
She asked the servant beside her.
The young man glanced at her and said, "I don't know."
Although Shu Ning often took him out with other beastmen, he wouldn't say things he shouldn't.
"All right."
She wandered around outside, bored.
Not long after, Xiao Chong came out from inside.
"Xiao Chong!" she called out excitedly, waving to him.
Upon seeing Shu Ning, a hint of surprise and delight flashed in his eyes.
He was planning to go find her.
"Ningning, come here!" He raised his hand, his fingers slightly bent, and beckoned to Shu Ning, signaling her to come over.
Shu Ning, carrying the herbs, jogged over and asked, "Where are you going?"
"The Holy Mother is looking for you."
"Looking for me? What do you want?" Shu Ning asked, puzzled.
There are so many people here...
She felt a little nervous, like the kind of nervousness you feel when giving a speech on stage.
"You'll know when you get inside." Noticing the change in her eyes, Xiao Chong patted her head and gently took her hand, speaking softly.
Then he naturally took the things she was holding.
"That's fine, I also need to talk to her about something," she said, mustering her courage.
"Come in."
"Um."
As she entered the cave, the first thing she saw was Xuan Lin's striking silver hair.
But he didn't look at her.
Besides Mu Xia, there was her clan chief father Yan Zhao, the high priest, the witch doctor, Xue Yin, Lei Ke, as well as other clan elders and some outstanding young males and females.
So many people!
Shu Ning was speechless.
"Mother, you were looking for me?" Shu Ning called out.
She couldn't afford to lose face.
Those young females and males looked like the future successors of the wolf pack.
"Ningning, come here quickly?" Mu Xia greeted Shu Ning with a smile.
Xiao Chong led Shu Ning to sit next to Mu Xia, which was opposite Xuan Lin, and the two sat down side by side.
Since this seat used to belong to Xiao Chong, although it is relatively large, it is still a bit too small for two people to sit together, so they can only sit close together.
The main reason is that Shu Ning is too big.
The sight of the two holding hands caught Xuan Lin's eye, and a complex emotion flashed in his deep silver eyes.
Standing so close, they have no shame whatsoever.
But the sudden realization that they were already a couple made him inexplicably irritable.
"Mother, what do you need me for?" Shu Ning asked Mu Xia.
"Ningning, I heard you saved Ating yesterday?" Muxia asked.
“It’s absolutely true, Your Majesty! If it weren’t for Shu Ning, our Ating would probably be gone by now!” Xue Yin stood up and said excitedly.
“Yes, we didn’t have much hope at first, but fortunately it was Shu Ning’s persistence that cured Ating.” Raine was also a little excited, his tone filled with gratitude.
"Miss Shu Ning, how did you know how to treat A Ting's illness?"
The witch doctor standing nearby was also stunned. He couldn't believe that the illness he couldn't cure had been solved by this little girl.
"Ningning, don't be nervous. We just want to know. This matter is very important to our wolf clan," Chief Shu Yanzhao comforted her.
"Father, Mother, I..."
Shu Ning glanced at Shu Yanzhao, then at Mu Xia, and then at the other beastmen around her.
The other orcs had different thoughts. Some didn't believe she could do it, while others thought she had just gotten lucky and that she had only managed to cure him by sheer chance.
Some believe this is the talent of the Holy Mother's daughter.
She glanced at Xuan Lin, who was as cold as ever. Oh well, there was no point in looking at him.
Feeling Xiao Chong holding her hand, he comforted her in a deep and warm voice, "It's okay, say whatever you want."
She never imagined that this seemingly cold and terrifying man was the one who gave her the most energy.
A warm feeling welled up in my heart.
Forget it, I'll just make one up.
My lord, we're counting on you!
"I received guidance from the Beast God while I was sleeping; it was he who taught me."
After Shu Ning finished speaking, she herself didn't believe this nonsense, as it had absolutely no scientific basis.
After he finished speaking, everyone began to whisper among themselves.
Although everyone else found it hard to believe, this was the only plausible reason. Otherwise, how could she suddenly know these things? She used to be such a person.
Arrogant and domineering, vulgar and crude, they often led wolf-men to bully other tribes and clans, and some were even kidnapped and forced to become their beastmen husbands.
“How can you prove that the Beast God taught you this?” one of the female orcs asked.
Shu Ning looked at her; this person was Mu Yu, the daughter of Mu Xia and her third beast husband.
She was stunningly beautiful, with an exceptionally mature figure. She had many suitors in her tribe and married several powerful male orcs.
He was also one of Xuan Lin's former suitors.
But instead of giving her the best match, Xuan Lin, Mu Xia paired him with Shu Ning, an ugly and fat woman.
Shu Ning looked at the other beastmen with questioning eyes, realizing that she was deliberately trying to embarrass her in public.
Did you really think you could embarrass her with just a casual remark?
Her eyes, which had been timid, now turned gloomy.
“Isn’t A-Ting’s recovery the best proof?” she said firmly, leaving no room for doubt.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
The fact that she was the daughter of the Holy Mother makes this story seem even more credible.
Seeing everyone's attitude, Mu Xia nodded slightly in satisfaction.
"Shu Ning, could you... perhaps share the treatment method?"
The shaman looked at Shu Ning with embarrassment. He was a humble and eager learner, and he didn't care who he learned from, as long as he could cure the illnesses of other people in the tribe in the future.
"Of course." After saying that, Shu Ning handed the medicinal herbs she had brought to the witch doctor.
“Witch doctor, these are the medicinal herbs for treating Atin’s condition. I’ve prepared them according to the proportions, and this is one serving.”
She knew that wolves were born with a keen sense of smell, and that as long as there were medicinal herbs, they could find the corresponding plants based on those herbs.
"That's great, thank you, Shu Ning. You've done the clan a huge favor. We won't have to worry about the same disease again in the future."
Suddenly remembering that the medicine still needed to be boiled, Shu Ning was wondering how to bring it up when the high priest spoke up, "Did the Beast God teach you anything else?"
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone looked at her.
