He put the bowl aside: "Go to sleep."
Guo Xiaoxiao closed her eyes, and Carlos covered her with the blanket. Cang Jue only managed to get up from behind.
The group discussed the matter of administering the medicine to Guo Xiaoxiao and decided that Carlos would go, while the others would wait outside. They were not allowed to cause any disturbances, no matter what noise they heard.
In the end, he drank all the medicine.
…
The next day, every time it was mealtime, someone would come back to supervise, taking turns. By noon on the third day, Guo Xiaoxiao couldn't take it anymore.
There's a reason for this. A Luo clearly said it was a two-day supply, but Cang Jue, fearing something might go wrong, proactively increased it to a three-day supply.
Guo Xiaoxiao couldn't bear it any longer, knocked the item over, and rushed outside, but was easily caught and brought back.
"Xiaoxiao, you still need to take this medicine every day. A'Luo said you can drink it even if you don't feel unwell; just drink it like water to supplement your nutrition."
Guo Xiaoxiao firmly disagreed. She insisted on her stance. Why take medicine when everything's fine? It's just trying to upset her.
I understand they mean well, but she doesn't like the taste of this medicine. She keeps vomiting and then drinking it again; that's not good for the baby in her belly.
"Don't ever appear in front of me again. If you dare bring this medicine over again, I'll burn it all!"
Cang Jue looked at Guo Xiaoxiao, then at the medicine in the bowl. What should he do? He was even considering feeding it to her mouth like Carlos had done, but seeing Guo Xiaoxiao's stubborn little face, he was afraid it would have the opposite effect.
Carlos frowned as well. What kind of talk was that?
"Xiaoxiao, you're young and pregnant, so you're female and don't understand many things. Anything that happens to the baby in your womb will directly affect your life."
Guo Xiaoxiao snorted, turned her head to look out the window, and ignored them. Normally she'd run off incredibly fast, but these past few days she'd come right back after taking her medicine. It was so annoying!
"Xiaoxiao..."
"Xiaoxiao..."
Carlos called twice, but there was no response. Then, Amansa, another person from Hainan, arrived.
"Xiaoxiao, I've come to play with you!"
Amansa didn't hear a response and went straight in, only to see Carlos and Cang Jue standing on either side of Guo Xiaoxiao. Cang Jue was holding a bowl containing a purple potion.
"Oh, by the way, I heard from A Luo that there's something wrong with the baby in your belly. Are you alright? Hurry up and take your medicine, don't just stand there, the medicine won't be as effective if it gets cold."
Even Amansa was like this, and Guo Xiaoxiao really wanted to cry. Carlos used Amansa as an excuse to say...
"Look, even females know that you need to take medicine when you're sick, otherwise you won't be healthy. And then your stomach will hurt again next time. Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
Amansa: "Isn't it too bitter?"
Guo Xiaoxiao nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Yes, it's bitter, so bitter it hurts my heart. They make me drink it every day, and I've been drinking it for three days now."
Amansa: "You shouldn't have given Xiaoxiao this to drink straight; it's too bitter. Add some fruit juice, squeeze the fruit into juice and add it in, then it won't be bitter."
She pointed to the fruit on the table in the room. Each fruit was crystal clear and brightly colored, and they must taste delicious. This was one of the few supplies they had left while they were imprisoned in the Beast City.
Guo Xiaoxiao: "Really? It'll taste bitter no matter what you add."
Carlos and Cang Jue were both taken aback by this unexpected move; they were only focused on getting her to drink the medicine and hadn't considered other options. It was their carelessness and negligence.
Amansa took two fruits and pointed them at Carlos and Cang Jue, accusing them.
"You guys too, who could stand drinking this every day? You wouldn't be able to stand it either. Hurry up and juice the fruit and add it in before it gets cold."
"Let's try anything, even if it's a last resort," Cang Jue said, taking the fruit from Amansa's hand and squeezing it in the kitchen before adding the juice to the medicine.
It was cut off in less than 5 minutes, and Guo Xiaoxiao even had a sniff of it.
"It's not bitter anymore. Smell it; it has a fruity aroma."
Guo Xiaoxiao carefully sniffed it; it wasn't as bitter anymore, but there was still a lingering bitter taste.
Amansa took the bowl from Cang Jue, tasted a little, and smacked her lips.
"Okay, no problem. Xiaoxiao, drink up, then we can play together."
Carlos: "Yes, that's right."
Now it's not just two people threatening her, it's three. Guo Xiaoxiao thought Amansa was her savior, but it turns out they've teamed up against her.
Having no other choice, Guo Xiaoxiao took the medicine and drank it down in one gulp.
The taste spread in my mouth; it wasn't piercingly bitter, but it was still bitter, yet there was a hint of sweetness within, making it not so unbearable.
After taking the medicine, Carlos and Cang Jue prepared the food and left satisfied.
Let the two females play in the castle. Now that the enclosure surrounds the intruding males and they can't get in, there's no need to be too wary.
"Xiaoxiao, the cradle outside isn't fixed yet. Come to my house with me. All my males are out taking care of the pups, and they can't go hunting outside the city. It's so boring staying at home. Come over for a meal too."
After drinking her medicine, Guo Xiaoxiao bit into the fruit and swallowed it in large gulps.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
The two walked hand in hand down the street. The orcs treated her with utmost respect, assuming that Guo Xiaoxiao was there to inspect their work.
Since Guo Xiaoxiao demonstrated her abilities, her status in the hearts of the beastmen has gradually risen.
Only Amansha still treated her as a normal female; she had heard that a series of strange phenomena were all caused by Guo Xiaoxiao.
But so what? What's wrong with them being friends and hanging out together? Her partner didn't even want her to come in the first place, saying she was disturbing the shaman and might upset her.
Guo Xiaoxiao had met and gotten to know her many times, and she had never been arrogant because of her abilities. Amansa enjoyed chatting and playing with Guo Xiaoxiao.
Walking down the street, the orcs would always steal glances at her, not because of her beauty, but because of her outstanding abilities.
Guo Xiaoxiao held Amansa's hand, walking down the street with her head down. She felt uncomfortable being stared at, especially by a group of people.
They stared intently at Guo Xiaoxiao's face, as if trying to make her eyes pop out, but when their gazes met, they immediately looked away, avoiding eye contact. This was even stranger, making Guo Xiaoxiao somewhat puzzled.
"Why are they looking at me like that? Even if Cang Jue takes me back, they'll still look at me the same way."
Amansa covered her mouth and laughed: "Hahaha... You're not ugly and you're a great witch, so you'll always take a second look at beautiful things."
Guo Xiaoxiao gave an awkward laugh and fell silent. She and Amansa arrived at her stone house.
The location is quite quiet; there are only a few stone houses in this area, which belongs to the Sishui tribe.
Amansa led Guo Xiaoxiao into the house. The stone house was furnished in a complicated way. In addition to simple tableware, it was filled with all kinds of animal skin clothes. They looked old and worn, but they were still tidy.
"It's quite tidy, it feels like home."
Amantha said as she threw the fruit pit outside the door.
"My house is pretty casual; the males always clean it. It's always been like this."
The large stone house was fully equipped, with dried meat and fruit available.
"Xiaoxiao, do you want to eat fruit or meat?"
"Meat, I love meat the most!"
"Okay, I'll go get it."
