Arthur: "Where did you go? I almost went out to look for you!"
Cang Jue put Guo Xiaoxiao on the stool, but Guo Xiaoxiao was still unhappy and looked displeased.
Arthur was also worried when he saw it.
"Xiaoxiao, you don't look well."
Guo Xiaoxiao shook her head: "I don't want to drink herbal medicine."
Guo Xiaoxiao glanced up and saw that none of them were wearing any clothes, then lowered her head again. Mickson walked over.
"Herbal medicine? What herbal medicine? Are you feeling unwell? You need to take medicine again."
Carlos: "Whose herbs are you going to get them from?"
Cang Jue placed the herbs on the table and then explained.
"She had a stomachache from the heat earlier, so she asked A'Luo to take a look. To ensure her health, A'Luo gave her some herbal medicine; she should feel better after drinking it for two days."
The cubs are connected to their mothers, and nothing can happen to them. Carlos examined the herbs on the table; they were indeed medicines beneficial for pregnant females.
"We can't be careless. Quickly brew it for her, then she should drink it and go to bed to rest and not move."
Randy frowned as he looked at it. The other orcs could tolerate the taste of herbs, and most of the males didn't find them particularly unpleasant.
They sometimes hunt in the wild and eat raw meat when they're hungry; they've gotten used to the strange taste.
But Randy, unlike Guo Xiaoxiao, utterly detested that kind of suffering.
"Why is it purple?"
Carlos, however, said, "The quality is quite good. Some orcs drink this herb to replenish their bodies after being injured and losing too much blood."
Mickson picked up the herbs
"Then I'll endure it now."
Guo Xiaoxiao: "A Luo said that if we've already eaten before this meal, let's wait until tomorrow to drink."
She was making a final effort, resisting the medicine both physically and mentally; she didn't want to be forced to take it. Cang Jue half-knelt in front of her, gently coaxing her.
"Xiaoxiao, be a good girl. Once your little one comes out, you can eat delicious food. I'll prepare some fruit for you. Eat some fruit after you take your medicine, and your mouth won't taste bitter."
Guo Xiaoxiao frowned and said, "I really don't like that taste. Cangjue, can we drink it again tomorrow?"
She tugged at Cang Jue's hand and acted coquettishly, causing Cang Jue to sigh.
"I was worried you might not feel well, so I'll be even more worried if you don't drink it. Please drink it first."
Seeing that she wouldn't drink the herbal medicine, Arthur immediately ordered in a cold voice, "You must drink it; the medicine will only work if you drink it because it's bitter."
Mickelson echoed this.
"Yes, Xiaoxiao, it's all for your own good. Just bear with it, it'll be down in one bite."
Guo Xiaoxiao: "...Don't do this, you're forcing me to take medicine. I don't want to, I want to sleep."
With that, Guo Xiaoxiao stood up, strode past them, and rushed into the inner room. She lay down on the mat, closed her eyes, and pretended to be dead.
Arthur: "Mixon, go cook it for him, and then bring it to him when it's done."
Arthur wasn't a heartless man, but he was always very concerned about Guo Xiaoxiao's health and couldn't back down. Her stomach was hurting and she still wouldn't take her medicine—what was she planning to do?
Carlos: "I think I'll go in and check on her belly."
Carlos and Arthur were well-versed in herbal medicine and could heal the wounds and ailments suffered by orcs.
When it comes to gynecology, Carlos is still in charge. With the help of inherited memories, he can treat many of the specific ailments that females have.
Guo Xiaoxiao was infertile when she first came to the beast world because her cold uterus made her infertile.
Carlos believed it was the herbal remedies he had prescribed that had cured her; otherwise, how could her body, which had never been able to conceive, suddenly become pregnant? He was truly skilled at treating her!
Therefore, Carlos also has a strong grasp of herbal medicine!
Guo Xiaoxiao fell asleep on the mat. She had just exhausted herself from consuming too much energy, leaving her feeling sore and weak all over. The entertainment had also left her quite tired.
She took off the animal skin, put on a thinner one, covered herself with it, and went to sleep, hoping not to be woken up and to sleep soundly until dawn.
"Xiaoxiao..."
Carlos called softly, not wearing a robe, revealing his strong, fair skin.
Guo Xiaoxiao slowly opened her eyes and saw him. Her heart tightened, and she woke him up with a laugh. "What's wrong? Did you take your medicine?"
"woke up?"
Guo Xiaoxiao didn't speak, just pouted and stared at him. Carlos knew what Guo Xiaoxiao was worried about; she was particularly afraid of taking medicine.
But good medicine tastes bitter, and you have to take it when you're sick. She's pregnant and needs to take care of her body, so Carlos picked up the medicine.
"The herbs have cooled down, and Xiaoxiao drank them. They're not very bitter; I tried them."
"God, you're not bitter, you're just fooling me. This water is even purple, a shiny purple!" Guo Xiaoxiao clutched the animal hide at her chest and shook her head.
"I don't want it, take it away, I feel like throwing up just looking at it."
Carlos held the medicine to her lips, coaxing her.
"Xiaoxiao, open your mouth. Don't throw a tantrum. You're the child's mother; how can you not take your medicine?"
Guo Xiaoxiao insisted on staying on one side of the mattress, away from Carlos.
"Take it away, I want to rest."
"I can't not drink it"
Carlos pushed the bowl forward.
"No, I'm tired and want to rest."
"Come on, be a good girl, I'll feed you."
Carlos put down the medicine bowl and sat down next to Guo Xiaoxiao. Guo Xiaoxiao turned her head away to avoid his approaching figure.
"don't want"
Carlos: "What should we do then?"
He sighed helplessly, "Then I'll have to feed you with my mouth again."
After saying that, regardless of Guo Xiaoxiao's wishes, he increased the intensity of the purple potion, took a sip, held it in his mouth, cupped her face, and kissed her.
He used his tongue to pry open her teeth and poured the medicine into her mouth.
Guo Xiaoxiao: "Hmm~"
I tasted a strong bitterness, my stomach churned, and the remaining medicine dripped down my throat.
Carlos kissed her, but Guo Xiaoxiao struggled and pushed him away desperately. Carlos just held her and kept kissing her to comfort her, trying to calm her down and make her quiet down.
Her body was limp and boneless, leaning weakly against Carlos. Her beautiful eyes were wide open, tears welling up, and she seemed to be choking on her own breath.
Carlos was heartbroken to see this, and he held Guo Xiaoxiao in his arms.
"Okay, it's alright now, it won't be bitter after you drink it."
"Waaaah~ Let me go, it hurts so much~"
The bitterness was so intense that Guo Xiaoxiao cried in distress.
"It's not bitter, it's not bitter."
Carlos gently comforted her, pressing her head against his shoulder and patting her back.
After a long while, Guo Xiaoxiao finally calmed down and nestled against Carlos's chest.
It was almost time to continue, but Carlos still asked a token question.
"There's still a little bit left. You can drink it, or I can feed you."
Guo Xiaoxiao stared at the bowl of purple water, hesitant and unwilling to try it.
"It's really not bitter."
He really didn't want to drink it, but if he didn't, Carlos would use increasingly sophisticated methods to force him to drink it.
Guo Xiaoxiao's reaction was within Carlos's expectations, but he still felt a slight sense of disappointment; feeding her medicine with her mouth was quite fun.
But Guo Xiaoxiao had no energy left to think about any of that. She swallowed all the medicine in one gulp, and I quickly grabbed the fruit, trying to resist the bitter taste in my mouth.
Carlos touched her smooth forehead; it was normal for it to be a little warm, nothing to worry about.
