After they finished eating, Xiao Mingyan washed the bowls and chopsticks, while Ling Yunxi collected the herbs that had dried on the surface, crushed them, and extracted the juice.
It was placed in a bowl, covered with a lid, and then wrapped with a piece of animal hide to prevent the lid from falling off.
After Xiao Mingyan finished washing, he sat quietly to the side watching her, his eyes reflecting her image, occasionally swaying his tail slightly. "What are these medicines... for?"
“This medicine can be used to treat scars,” Ling Yunxi said, taking some more and crushing it further before dripping it into another bowl. “It can also be drunk.”
"Want to try some?" Ling Yunxi picked up another handful from the pile of herbs beside her.
Xiao Mingyan paused for a moment, his fingertips lightly touching the herbs. "This... can I drink it directly?"
“No,” Ling Yunxi said. “Eating this raw will cause gastrointestinal discomfort.”
"Why!"
She turned her head and saw Xiao Mingyan drink the half bowl of medicine she had just prepared.
At this moment, Xiao Mingyan felt that the herbs he had just tasted were somewhat bitter, and he paused when he heard her words.
"Cough cough..."
He frowned slightly, forcing himself to swallow the herbs in his mouth despite the discomfort. "Then... how should we treat it?"
"It needs to be cooked for a while to break down its toxins."
"oh……"
Xiao Mingyan silently made a mental note of it, and his gaze towards her softened even more. "Yes, I've got it."
Remembering that she had just said this medicine could treat scars, I subconsciously touched my arm. "Can this... also treat external injuries?"
Ling Yunxi frowned slightly when she saw the wound on his arm.
“It has an auxiliary effect,” Ling Yunxi said, “but the therapeutic effect is limited.”
"Wait here." She got up to get another herb she had picked earlier for treating superficial wounds.
As Xiao Mingyan watched her rummaging through the pile of herbs, a warm feeling flowed through his heart.
"No rush, take your time looking." The ears twitched slightly, and the tail stopped wagging. "It's so late, don't tire yourself out too much."
“This will be even more effective,” she said, continuing to grind the herbs.
Xiao Mingyan remained silent for a moment, his tone hesitant and cautious.
"These scars on my body..." His gaze swept over the crisscrossing scars on his arms, "Can they really be removed?"
"I can't guarantee it will be completely removed, but it can be diluted."
"Dilute..."
He looked down at his scarred arms, a glimmer of expectation in his eyes. "It's already very good."
The wolf's tail swayed unconsciously: "Thank you, Mistress."
The moment he finished speaking, he saw her approaching figure, his breath hitched, and his body stiffened.
“Mistress…” Xiao Mingyan’s voice was low and slightly hoarse, “I’ll do it myself.”
He didn't want her to touch those scars.
Ling Yunxi did not respond to him and continued to apply the ointment to his scars.
Feeling the cool touch on his fingertips, Xiao Mingyan subconsciously clenched his fist, then slowly relaxed it, his gaze remaining fixed on her.
"alright."
Looking at the scars covered with herbs, Xiao Mingyan felt a warm current flow through his heart, and a faint blush appeared on his ears.
“Mistress,” his Adam’s apple bobbed, his voice trembling slightly, “thank you…”
"You're welcome," Ling Yunxi said. "There's still some left here. Apply it every morning and evening. If you want it to be faster, apply it in the morning, noon, and night."
"good."
Xiao Mingyan nodded slightly, looking at the herbs as if they were rare treasures. "Yes, I've got it."
He looked up at her, his eyes sparkling like stars, "My lady, you're so good to me..."
Ling Yunxi smiled in response, noticing his sleepy expression, "You should go and rest first, I want to watch for a while longer."
"Yes, Mistress, don't stay up too late. Get some rest."
Xiao Mingyan got up and went back to his room.
After packing up the package, Ling Yunxi reviewed what she had learned that day, as well as the materials the Plant Beast Master had given her.
Looking at the runes on it, she felt as if she were looking at astronomy; she only remembered the patterns but did not understand their meaning.
She sighed softly, glanced at the package beside her, and then looked past the room she had left that morning.
She opened her eyes wide and checked again.
Is this his room?
So she slept in his room last night?
No wonder he looked so tired this morning.
It turns out she had taken over the room...
She patted her head lightly.
"Congratulations, host, you have completed the mission to enter the Beast Academy. You are hereby rewarded with one quick-acting weight loss pill."
The system's voice suddenly rang in her mind, startling Ling Yunxi.
“You finally remembered this,” Ling Yunxi said.
Suddenly a small box appeared on the table. She opened it and found a brown pill inside.
"It really is one... Will it work?"
"Don't just look at this one; it has a great effect," 007 praised.
"Oh?" Ling Yunxi examined the pills in the box. "Tell me, how do they work?"
"Well..." the system hesitated, "In short, it's faster than you can lose weight on your own."
"Alright then," Ling Yunxi said, putting it in her mouth and swallowing. "I hope it's really as you say."
"Don't worry, as long as the host supplements more protein and exercises more every day, he will definitely be able to lose weight quickly and successfully."
The next morning.
Ling Yunxi brought two boiled bird eggs and the medicinal liquid she had prepared the night before to the Beast Academy.
"Female, please be careful on the road."
After watching Ling Yunxi leave, Xiao Mingyan tidied himself up and then went out hunting as well.
On the way to the animal school.
When she encountered unfriendly words again on her way out, Ling Yunxi ignored them this time.
To gain recognition from others, you must have value.
Upon arriving at the Beast Academy, Ling Yunxi put away the animal skin bag and took out the herbs she had prepared the night before.
Searching for Xuan Yize's figure within the school.
After looking around, I still couldn't find him.
Many orcs looked at her with disdain and contempt when they saw her like this.
“His location is…” she recalled the scene from yesterday morning, searching for his location, “Right here?”
"What are you doing!?"
As soon as Ling Yunxi arrived next to him, she heard Xuan Yize's angry voice.
She looked up at the sound and saw Xuan Yize walking angrily toward her.
Jiang Yichuan, equally furious, followed behind.
"Don't get agitated," Ling Yunxi called out upon seeing this.
Despite her outwardly calm demeanor, she worried that they might not be able to resist attacking her. At this moment, Ling Yunxi was secretly gathering her supernatural abilities, ready to retaliate at any time.
Xuan Yize walked up to her and slammed his hand on the table in anger, the sound of the "smack" echoing throughout the school.
He exuded a chilling aura as he glared at her and demanded, "Who let you come here?!"
“Xuan Yize, don’t misunderstand, I didn’t mean to bother you,” Ling Yunxi explained.
"Then why don't you get out of here!" Xuan Yize roared.
"I apologize for the hurt I caused you before, and I have been thinking about how to make amends for this mistake."
“I’ve found an herb.” She took the herb out of her hand and placed it on the table. “It’s useful for treating scars. I hope it will be useful to you.”
