Han's whole body was numb, he tried to open his eyes but couldn't, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
Xia Yixin was afraid that his wound would reopen, so she quickly pressed him down. "You've been poisoned by the Shadowless Flower, so you can't move for now. I've given you some medicine, and you'll recover slowly in a while. Don't move around, or your wound will reopen!"
Her words finally calmed the man down.
Xia Yixin couldn't help but sigh silently, "As expected of the male lead, he even woke up much faster than the male supporting character."
She scooped up some water and brought it closer to him.
Han tensed up all over.
She reassured her, "Don't be afraid, I'm just washing your face with water so you can breathe more easily."
Upon hearing this, the man's muscles relaxed somewhat.
The original novel describes Han as a man of few words who is extremely loyal to the female lead.
She was quite curious about what he actually looked like, whether he was really as amazing as the description in the text suggested.
She wiped the dirt off his face, and gradually, a rugged, handsome, and distinctly masculine face appeared before her.
The man was surprisingly young, only eighteen years old, and had not yet been transformed. He was Hou Yi, the Snow Wolf, with two pointed wolf ears hidden among his silver hair.
With strong facial features, sword-like eyebrows, a straight nose, and thin lips pressed tightly together, he would definitely be a tough guy in modern times, easily outshining any pretty boy.
He was like a sword drawn from its sheath, its sharpness honed through tempering.
She was secretly marveling at how worthy he was of being the male lead when she unexpectedly met a pair of cold eyes.
Han opened her eyes.
Was it him? Her heart skipped a beat, but the next second, she had doubts.
First of all, he didn't have the cold fragrance of the Bai family bloodline, and the owner of those cold eyes was full of wariness and scrutiny towards her, looking at her like a complete stranger.
What's more, he's the male lead.
She didn't want to compete with the female lead for a man, especially after thinking about Su Bei from the first world. If she messed with the male lead, the consequences would be huge, and she couldn't afford to offend her.
While she was struggling with her decision, Han was also sizing up the little female in front of her.
She looked to be about ten years old, wearing a small dress made of leaves. Her skin was tender, and she had the silver scale markings unique to the Silver Serpent Clan on both sides of her cheeks. Her face was round and chubby, and she had a pair of big, round, bright green eyes, but her temperament was calm and serene.
They don't seem like snakes, but rather cats.
What kind of tribe would leave a young female alone in the wild? And from what she just said, it seems she has medical skills.
He mustered his strength and finally managed to open his mouth, uttering, "...You...!!!"
Han paused when he saw Da Hua return with water, his muscles tensing and his eyes filled with wariness.
The big, dark purple eyes of the flower glared menacingly at Han. "Hiss! (Little Heart, let's eat him! He's too dangerous!)"
Xia Yixin hurriedly stepped between Han and Da Hua, saying, "No, he's my friend. Da Hua, don't worry, he won't hurt us."
Big Flower, unwilling to give up, flicked its forked tongue and threatened, hissing several times as it approached Han, "Hiss! (Male wolf cub, don't mess around, or I'll eat you!)"
Han didn't understand snake language, but he could sense that this little female snake was with the giant female python, and that the latter was threatening him.
In all his decades of life, he had never heard of beastmen and beastmen becoming partners. Even beastmen who had gained sentience rarely looked up to beastmen, let alone the little female in front of him who was not even a low-level beastman.
Perhaps there is an even more powerful Silver Serpent Clan member here?
Although the Silver Serpent Clan is a carnivorous race ranked last in terms of social hierarchy, they are also the most mysterious on this continent. Both males and females are incredibly beautiful, and they have all disappeared into the deep mountains hundreds of years ago.
Could this be the place?
However, Han quickly dismissed this guess.
After dark, the giant python coiled the conscious man and the still unconscious owl into the cave, both of them slightly dirty.
Han discovered that there was only one campfire, and it was very rudimentary.
If it wasn't a herd, perhaps this little female had parents or a mate? He didn't believe she had saved him.
When Han lay down on the haystack, his head was finally able to move and he could speak, but his body was still stiff.
"Little female, where are your parents or mate?"
The man's voice was magnetic, deep, and pleasant, but his words carried a condescending tone, completely like he was speaking to a child.
Xia Yixin frowned. "I'm not called Little Female, I'm called Xia Yixin. And it's just me and Big Flower here, we're the ones who saved you."
She observed carefully and saw that he didn't react much when he heard her name. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that she had made a mistake after all. Fortunately, she didn't need to steal the male lead.
Han frowned slightly.
Han guessed that there were indeed some solitary shamans in the deep mountains who pursued medical advancements, and perhaps this was their child. Even the shamans of large tribes were helpless against the Shadowless Flower poison, yet she was able to save them.
He couldn't help but re-examine her: "Did you cure the Shadow Flower poison? Are you a witch doctor?"
"Yes." Xia Yixin knew far more than the witch doctors here.
"Thank you, my name is Han." He no longer treated her as an ordinary young female; a witch doctor deserves respect.
She sensed from his words that he no longer treated her like a child, and thought the male lead was quite nice.
She smiled and said, "No need to thank me. Strictly speaking, it was Big Flower who saved you. If it hadn't brought you back, I wouldn't have been able to save you either. If you want to thank her, just get her some good food after you recover. How did you end up in the deep mountains?"
She pretended to be completely "ignorant." Although he was not Lu Yan, it would be more beneficial than harmful to build a good relationship with the male lead.
“He is a slave of our tribe, and I am responsible for capturing him and bringing him back.” Han changed the subject and extended an invitation, “It is dangerous for a small female like you to be in the deep forest. My tribe is very powerful, and you can come back with me.”
