"You can only be considered a master once you've actually found the corresponding herb. You'd better start learning."
Guo Xiaoxiao wasn't just acting on a whim. She had nothing to do right now, so what was wrong with learning a little? It was just like going to school, starting from scratch. If Irina could do it, why couldn't she?
Look at Irina, she knows all that and doesn't even need to ask; she got the antidote for the scorpion venom right away. Arthur, on the other hand, had to ask him.
At that time, Arthur and his team were still engaged in a fierce battle. If they had been distracted and gotten injured, Guo Xiaoxiao would probably have slapped herself twice.
"It's okay, we'll see what it's like after a try. You have to have faith in me. Look how ambitious Irina is, she doesn't even play around in her free time. She's always improving herself, and I want to get closer to becoming a female like her. I should learn from the good aspects of others."
“The females in our tribe should also be given more opportunities to learn. All they do is eat and sleep, and they get so fat without ever trying to lose weight. It's not good for their health. I often see the females panting as they climb the steps of that cave.”
"Heart disease, high blood pressure, and fatty liver develop from this. It's not about being anxious about your appearance; having self-confidence is a good thing, but you also need to consider your health."
Females don't have that awareness; someone like Irina who would proactively seek out learning opportunities is one in a million.
Females are generally brainwashed from a young age to eat and sleep well, maintain their health, and reproduce. After mating, males shower them with affection, even at mealtimes, urging them to eat more. The best food is always reserved for the female, leading to increased laziness in the females. They expect everything to be readily available and only need to ask for it.
This insect infestation revealed the drawbacks: males, unable to protect themselves, cease mating and pairing. And what about the females? Are they raised this way from a young age, lacking self-defense capabilities? They can't even hunt or gather fruit.
Those who already have mates are better off, but for those who haven't found a mate yet, survival in the wild becomes difficult. Some males do want to find a female to mate in chaotic times, but the fear is that if you get a parasite infection, it will affect you.
This parasitic infestation has killed many females…
"Forget it. If you want to learn, then go ahead. If you let the females learn, they'll think you're meddling."
As a local, Cang Jue rarely finds women as slender as Guo Xiaoxiao or Irina, let alone females who can do even a little bit of work.
For example, telling a female to move around a bit, like going for a run every day, might lead to accusations of abuse.
Guo Xiaoxiao thought of the typical female characteristics and agreed with Cang Jue's point that their personalities were already set in stone, and it wasn't really appropriate to try to educate them now that they were all grown up. If she were to have a female offspring in the future, she would then educate them properly and definitely not do nothing.
Self-defense skills must also be learned: eat until you're full, shower frequently, and don't let males calling you "baby" one after another brainwash you.
"Then I'll learn it myself. I'll go to Wen Yi's place first and learn about some simple herbs."
If Guo Xiaoxiao insists on learning Cang Jue, we won't stop her, but why does she have to go to Wen Yi in the Ye Ling tribe? A Luo could teach her too; A Luo is younger and quicker to learn.
"I'll take you to Alona; Alona isn't busy."
"Alright, let's go quickly."
…
Upon arriving at Alo's room, Alo was organizing the herbs, carefully arranging them into neat little leather pouches.
When needed, there's no need to search for it. Although there are no words, he marked each packet so only he could recognize them. Last time, when several veterinarians went there to drive people away, they used many eye-straining herbs—the kind that can blind someone just by throwing them in.
One more thing to add: this is really useful. No matter how powerful your star ring is, a sprinkle of this powder will blind you.
But Alo and his team still didn't use scorpion venom. It was too insidious and could easily harm innocent bystanders. As they said before, if they injured their own people, there wouldn't be enough antidote to distribute.
"Alo, I brought Xiaoxiao with me. Let's teach her what we can first."
Cang Jue's tone of voice towards Guo Xiaoxiao was different from how he spoke to others; it had a commanding quality towards A Luo. However, A Luo was used to it and didn't take it to heart.
Having served as clan leader for many years, Cang Jue had become accustomed to his tone and often handled clan affairs with a very serious demeanor.
"I didn't even say hello before asking them to teach me. Alo definitely didn't understand what you meant."
A Luo really didn't understand. He turned his head and saw Cang Jue walk in and plop down on his desk, while Guo Xiaoxiao stood awkwardly to the side.
"Hey! You two came to see me today. What's up? What are you teaching me? You're not going to wander around the forest today, are you?"
Cang Jue: "We're not going shopping today. Xiaoxiao said she wants to learn about herbs, and I was just about to have you teach her."
Guo Xiaoxiao greeted A Luo very politely, like an apprentice greeting a master.
"Oh, hello. We came without telling you beforehand. I hope we haven't bothered you. Are you busy? Would you like me to help you unpack?"
Alo waved his hand: "No need, no need. I started preparing yesterday, and with the help of the orcs, it's almost done. Why do you want to learn herbalism again? You're a great shaman who can connect with the Beast God; wouldn't learning herbalism be too basic for you?"
It wasn't that A Luo didn't want to teach, but he was very surprised that the ability-enhancing and healing water that Guo Xiaoxiao made couldn't be achieved with herbs.
It wasn't that Alo didn't want to teach, but he felt she could reach a higher level, rather than having to come down to earth to learn something less advanced.
"I genuinely want to learn. There are things I know that you might not, but there are things you know that I definitely don't. It's just a matter of whether you have the time to teach me."
If he doesn't have time, she'll go find Wen Yi.
Alo nodded.
"If you have time and are truly eager to learn, start with the simplest things and understand some of the medicinal properties of herbs."
Alo was proud to have taught Guo Xiaoxiao, but his feelings about it were completely different from when he taught Irina. Irina was just an ordinary female, while Guo Xiaoxiao was a great witch.
