"Ugh..."
Oh my god, my mouth hurts so much! I should have bitten him, why did I bite myself?! Guo Xiaoxiao was in so much pain, it hurt like her heart was breaking, and then she burst into loud sobs again.
"Ugh..."
Cang Jue was bewildered when she suddenly burst into tears. What was she up to now? He was at a loss for what to do.
The crying grew louder and more heart-wrenching; Guo Xiaoxiao was sobbing uncontrollably. She didn't want to cry, but she couldn't stop; the emotional fluctuations were too great, as if she were having a mental breakdown.
Cang Jue finally couldn't bear it any longer, ran over and hugged Guo Xiaoxiao, anxiously coaxing her.
"Don't cry...don't cry, I was wrong, I promise, I promise I'll never force you again, please stop crying, okay?"
Cang Jue kept coaxing her, but the effect was not ideal.
Because Guo Xiaoxiao has completely lost control.
I don't want to cry, but my mouth hurts, my eyes hurt, my head hurts, nothing feels good.
"Cang Jue, don't go too far! She's female!"
A male voice, unable to bear it any longer, came from under the tree. With one taking the lead, the other males also came to the tree and began to criticize Cang Jue's actions.
"Yes, are they forming a couple?"
Females are already very precious in the animal kingdom. Which male doesn't treat them well and make them suffer the slightest harm? If they are made to cry like their mother has died, who can bear to see that?
"I...I haven't done anything yet!" Cang Jue was on the verge of tears, utterly frustrated. Guo Xiaoxiao was crying as if she were about to suffocate, blood still flowing from her bitten wound. Cang Jue was shocked and quickly said...
"Female, female, don't cry. Take care of yourself. You don't like it here? I'll take you back now, okay? Right now."
Cang Jue frantically wiped away Guo Xiaoxiao's tears with his hands.
"I...wait...I...my mouth, my mouth hurts."
Guo Xiaoxiao sobbed, tears glistening in the corners of her eyes, looking utterly disheveled. She pointed to her bitten lip and asked him for help.
"Your mouth hurts? I'll take you to get it treated right away."
As Cang Jue spoke, he picked Guo Xiaoxiao up in his arms and headed straight for the veterinarian's cabin.
A dozen or so males under the tree glanced at Guo Xiaoxiao, their faces stained with blood and tears; Cang Jue was in a situation he couldn't clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
"So, Cang Jue, you hit her?"
"How could you do that?!"
"Don't you want to be the clan leader anymore?"
Ignoring the crowd's doubts, Cang Jue quickly carried Guo Xiaoxiao to the veterinarian.
Veterinarians are highly respected figures in the entire beast world. Receiving their protection and treatment is extremely rare, as beastmen skilled in medicine are few and far between; even having one in a tribe is a rare find. Therefore, veterinarians are among the most respected figures in the hearts of most beastmen. As the saying goes, in chaotic times, those in logistical support hold a high position.
The Eagle Clan's veterinarian was a middle-aged man with wrinkles on his face, but they couldn't hide his former glory. He looked much younger than Monet from the Feather Mountain Tribe.
In the dead of night, Cang Jue barged in carrying a female, disturbing everyone's peaceful sleep. If it weren't for the other male beasts' life-threatening injuries, he certainly wouldn't have refused to treat them.
Unlike other females who are born weaker, females must receive immediate medical attention if they have any problems.
"Oh my goodness, whose little female is this? Her mouth got bitten and damaged?"
As the veterinarian spoke, he reached out to take Guo Xiaoxiao.
Cang Jue frowned and stopped the veterinarian.
"Alo, she's my partner, can you help her stop the bleeding?"
"You...your partner?"
The veterinarian was stunned. Cang Jue was notoriously bad-tempered and unpleasant-natured, never actively seeking to please females, yet females still flocked to him relentlessly. This was mainly due to his strength; a 4-star ringed beastman, comparable only to Miken of the Yushan tribe from other tribes.
Because of his proud nature, he looks down on females from outside the tribe, and he also looks down on females from within the tribe. So where did a mate come from?
Guo Xiaoxiao convulsed slightly, her consciousness fading as she was held in Cang Jue's arms. She could hear their conversation, but she couldn't concentrate.
The veterinarian named Alo lit a fire to let light into the room.
After he saw Guo Xiaoxiao's face clearly
Staring in shock, she realized that this was a female from some tribe, so beautiful. Though her face was covered in grime, it did nothing to diminish her beauty. Even the animal hide couldn't conceal her curves; her skin was snow-white and delicate.
Are you sure this is your partner?
Alo thought that such a beautiful female was probably arrogant and wouldn't easily agree to Cang Jue's request.
She is my partner.
Cang Jue raised his chin and answered simply and clearly: he had made up his mind about her.
"How did she get hurt? Did you bite her because she didn't agree to be your partner?"
The veterinarian was also busy at work, starting to treat Guo Xiaoxiao's wounds. He pried open Guo Xiaoxiao's mouth and saw that there was a bite wound inside her lip that was still bleeding little by little.
Guo Xiaoxiao had already fainted; after crying, she fell asleep due to exhaustion.
"How could I bear to do that? She bit it herself."
Cang Jue sat on the animal skin cushion, holding Guo Xiaoxiao tightly. A Luo gave him a disdainful look, filled with deep distrust, and said...
"Females are afraid of getting tired and in pain, how could she bite herself? You've finally found such a rare female, treat her well, otherwise if the people in the tribe find out you're abusing her, you'll lose your right to mate with other females."
"I'm innocent!" Cang Jue said.
"She really bit herself; I wouldn't be that cruel."
Alo ignored him, took out a blade of grass, crushed it with a stone knife to squeeze out the juice, and applied it to Guo Xiaoxiao's lips. Then he took some of the rest and put it in a stone bowl.
"Alright, let her rest tonight. This medicine is for her to apply to her lips when she wakes up tomorrow; she'll gradually recover."
Cang Jue nodded gratefully.
Thank you, Alo.
"Yes, be careful, don't let her get hurt again."
“…”
It seems that Alo still doesn't believe him.
………
Cang Jue left A Luo's cabin. The males hadn't dispersed yet. He gave them a few threatening words and chased them all away. He figured they wouldn't believe him no matter how he explained, so he might as well focus on himself and take care of the females.
Cang Jue quickly led Guo Xiaoxiao back to the wooden house and gently placed her on the animal skin mat.
Guo Xiaoxiao was fast asleep and showed no signs of waking up. He unwrapped the animal skin covering her, revealing her snow-white skin. Her clothes, which he had just torn, were tattered, exposing a large expanse of her chest.
Cang Jue swallowed hard; the scene was stimulating, making his whole body feel hot and bothered.
I thought to myself, how could I possibly let you go back? I'd rather kill Miken than let you leave.
Cang Jue suppressed the agitation in his heart, took out a long set of animal hides from the side, wrapped Guo Xiaoxiao up, placed her on the bed, and then lay down beside her to guard her.
…………
morning
Guo Xiaoxiao slowly woke up
She opened her blurry eyes, looking at the unfamiliar wooden house and roof. Her mind went blank for a moment, then she remembered what had happened yesterday, and was immediately filled with shame and anger. Without thinking, she climbed off the animal skin bed.
