"A Luo, A Luo, come quick! Cang Jue isn't moving. I pinched him twice and he didn't react. Is he really poisoned?"
"I'm speaking so loudly, but he seems not to hear me at all. He can't be asleep, really! Come quick, come and see!"
A Luo put down the food and immediately went over to Cang Jue, rolled his eyelids up, and listened to his heartbeat. There was nothing unusual on his face, nor was there any cyanosis that could be caused by poisoning.
"Isn't that strange? Mandalas shouldn't cause this. Did he eat something here?"
Guo Xiaoxiao was extremely anxious. She shouldn't have listened to A Luo and let Cang Jue test the poison. Now look what happened, the person is beyond waking up.
"He ate it even though he didn't have any. It was a Datura flower, but he didn't eat much, just a single branch or leaf. He's clearly poisoned; he's delirious."
A Luo observed Cang Jue closely, but couldn't figure out why he was unconscious. Others had mistakenly ingested Mandrake flowers, but none had produced the same reaction as Cang Jue.
Alo took out a black object ground into powder.
"Come on, straighten Cang Jue up. I'll put it in his mouth to try and cure him. This can neutralize most poisons, and even if it doesn't cure severe poisons, it should at least wake him up."
Guo Xiaoxiao didn't dare to delay for a moment. She immediately helped Cang Jue up and straightened his body. Cang Jue was already quite large, and it was really strenuous for Guo Xiaoxiao to support him. She couldn't hold on for long and could only urge A Luo to hurry up.
"Alo, get ready. Hurry up and pry open his mouth to feed him. He's too heavy; I can't hold him for long."
Although Alo appeared calm on the surface, he was inwardly panicking. If Cang Jue didn't wake up, who would lead the tribe?
He couldn't explain it to the tribe, nor could he explain it to Guo Xiaoxiao. The incident happened on his territory, and he was the one who made Cang Jue take the medicine.
If he were to actually be poisoned and pass out, he would be a sinner for all time, unable to wash away his long-standing good reputation and goodwill.
He will be nailed to the nail of shame, a scourge who murdered the patriarch.
A Luo forcefully pried open Cang Jue's mouth, about to feed him the powder.
At this moment, Cang Jue seemed to have come to his senses, snapping awake and straightening his back with boundless energy.
His face was rosy and normal; he stared blankly as the two people busied themselves on him.
"What's wrong? Weren't you studying? Are you studying me instead?"
Guo Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him wake up. Thankfully, he was alright. She patted Cang Jue's chest.
"It's all your fault! I told you to pinch me, but you wouldn't wake up. You scared me to death! Why did you pretend to be asleep? I had to feed you the medicine to wake you up. Don't try to fake it; I can tell."
Guo Xiaoxiao thought Cang Jue was definitely faking it, just wanting to see them worry. He was usually quite cunning, so it was possible he was deliberately trying to tease them.
Using this method to scare people is really inappropriate. Other things are one thing, but playing with people's lives is another.
Does he want to see her cry for him?
Cang Jue was still completely bewildered, seemingly not understanding why Guo Xiaoxiao was angry with him, nor why A Luo was squatting in front of him with a black powder.
"What? I don't understand a single word you're saying. I'm not pretending; I was just sleeping peacefully, and you woke me up."
A Luo put away the powder and looked at Cang Jue's pupils again. They were normal. It was really strange. Cang Jue seemed to be unconscious. How could he wake up so suddenly?
"Cang Jue, are you feeling unwell? Are you experiencing irritability or depression? You've been taking the medication for so long; it should have started working by now. It's impossible that it's not having any effect at all."
Upon hearing this, Guo Xiaoxiao turned her gaze back to Cang Jue's body.
"Yes, you took the poison. Check if your body is reacting. Now that A'Luo is here and about to go back, the poison has flared up again, and we'll have to bring you back. What a hassle."
Cang Jue listened to them, stretched his body, stood up and twisted around a couple of times, but there was no reaction.
"You're all overthinking it. This medicine has no effect on me. I'm too strong; it's useless against me. As a five-star ring inherited beastman, ordinary poisons certainly can't harm me."
A Luo glanced at him disdainfully. "Tch, does he really think he's so great?" But it was true, there was one thing A Luo had to admit: the Mandala flowers didn't cause any symptoms on Cang Jue; they were neutralized by Cang Jue's powerful physique.
"Alright, alright, Xiaoxiao, come and eat your meat. Never mind him."
Guo Xiaoxiao nodded and sat down at the stone table to eat the pieces of meat that A Luo had given her, but she really wanted to go back.
She couldn't concentrate on her studies either. She had memorized more than ten kinds of material, but A Luo had to explain more than ten kinds in the afternoon, and she couldn't remember any of them. She couldn't even use notes; she had to rely entirely on rote memorization.
Think about how much effort Irina put in to memorize all those medications one by one.
Cang Jue sat down at the stone table without any hesitation, eating the pieces of meat that A Luo had given him. No need to cook anymore, might as well eat it.
"Cang Jue, eat less and leave more for the females. Look how long you've raised Xiao Xiao, why is she still so thin? Have you been abusing her? You need to remind her to eat more often."
Cang Jue: "Xiao Xiao and A Luo are right, you really need to eat more. Each time you mate with us, you expend a lot of energy, and you can't digest everything you eat. You need to have extra meals, otherwise what will happen if your body is too weak after giving birth next time?"
As he spoke, Cang Jue ran to where A Luo stored the ingredients, took out a few pieces of meat, and placed them in front of Guo Xiaoxiao.
Guo Xiaoxiao likes to eat roasted meat, but the pieces are a bit too tough, so she needs water to eat them. However, she's too embarrassed to say this in front of A Luo, since he kindly gave it to her, and she can't be picky.
Cang Jue so brazenly took chunks of his own flesh; it was only natural that the females would take more.
But Cang Jue didn't even greet him; it was incredibly impolite and showed him, the veterinarian, no respect whatsoever.
"Cang Jue, you..."
Cang Jue immediately stopped A Luo from babbling on.
"Okay, okay, next time I go hunting, I'll save a big black beast for you, make it into jerky, and bring it to your room. Since I'm here today, please stop nagging me and give me some face."
Alo's lips moved twice, unwilling to give up.
"snort…"
Eat your own flesh
Guo Xiaoxiao took two bites, but it was too dry and she didn't want to eat anymore. This jerky seemed to have been stored for a long time; it was even harder than the jerky that Mikeson and the others had given her.
"I'm really full. You guys take your time eating. Cang Jue, let's go check on the little snakes in the forest this afternoon. I'm a little worried about them."
Alo: "Oh, there's still a lot I haven't taught you this afternoon. Shall we go after you've finished learning?"
Guo Xiaoxiao ran away because she wanted to avoid studying; she should at least come back the next day.
She really needs to digest these dozen or so things; you can't expect someone to become an expert overnight. With her brainpower, she's already not good at studying, let alone having a photographic memory!
