Without saying a word, Jiuying said, "I'll go with you."
The two went up the mountain, but Shen Miao couldn't remember where the white-horned beast lived. After a lot of effort, they finally found the two cubs.
The cubs of the strange beast were only a few days old, tiny and soft little bundles, completely unaware that their mother was gone. Shen Miao felt immense pity for them, holding the two cubs and whispering, "Come with me."
Shen Miao wanted to raise the two cubs herself, but Jiu Ying told her that she already had too many cubs at home, and two more would be too much for her to handle. She suggested that they be given to those of her clansmen who did not have cubs.
She thought about it and realized it made sense.
They found a beastman family in the tribe. The family was very capable and of good character. After hearing Shen Miao's story, they were happy to raise the beast cub.
Shen Miao entrusted the baby to him with peace of mind.
With this matter resolved, Shen Miao felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart.
But Shen Miao's days were destined to be difficult, because Xiao Sibao suddenly started having stomach aches.
"Did you eat something bad?" Shen Miao asked anxiously, as Xiao Sibao's face turned pale with pain.
Da Bao volunteered, "Mommy, no, Xiao Si Bao eats the same things as us. We don't eat random things outside."
Shen Miao recalled that they had eaten beef for both meals. Xiao Sibao usually eats beef and has never had this reaction before, so it couldn't be the beef.
"Have you been with her the whole time?"
The children looked at each other and shook their heads. There was one time when the four little ones were not with them.
Shen Miao took a deep breath and thought that Xiao Sibao might have eaten something unclean at that time, so she didn't ask any more questions and decided to take Xiao Sibao to see the veterinarian, Lin.
"Mommy." Sanbao came over with his short legs and provided some information, "Sibao's tummy has been hurting for a long time, you must cure her."
Shen Miao asked in surprise, "Why didn't you say so before?"
Sanbao pouted and whispered, "Sibao said it doesn't hurt too much and she can bear it, so she didn't tell you or Daddy."
Shen Miao felt both heartache and anger, but now was not the time to discipline the children. She only told the three children not to run around, and then she took the four little ones and hurriedly went to Lin Shousheng's house.
After checking, Lin Shousheng said in bewilderment, "There's nothing wrong, and it doesn't seem like I ate something that upset my stomach."
"But he's in pain, Uncle Lin, please prescribe some medicine for him quickly." Shen Miao was extremely anxious.
Lin Shousheng rolled his eyes at her and said, "I haven't found the cause of her illness, so how can I prescribe medicine for her? What if the medicine causes even more problems?"
"Then prescribe something mild and harmless, anything that can relieve the pain."
Only at this moment did Shen Miao realize how difficult it is to be a mother. Seeing her child suffer, she wished she could take the suffering away from him.
The four little ones nestled in her arms, their faces pale and looking very fragile.
"Sibao, it's alright. Grandpa Lin prescribed some medicine for you. It will relieve the pain after you take it," Shen Miao comforted her.
Little Sibao forced a smile: "Mommy, Sibao is a brave little boy. Sibao is not afraid of pain. Sibao will not cry. Sibao is very strong."
Shen Miao almost burst into tears.
My dear child, if it really hurts, just cry. I really can't bear to see you like this.
After taking the medicine prescribed by Lin Shousheng, Xiao Sibao's condition did not improve much. Later, he was in so much pain that he rolled around on the bed, and the little baby even bit his lip until it bled.
Shen Miao was at a loss. She tried to transfer her special abilities to Xiao Sibao, but it was like throwing a stone into the sea—completely useless.
Shen Miao was at a loss for what to do.
The children stayed by Xiao Sibao's bedside, their eyes red from crying, all thinking that Xiao Sibao was going to die.
"Little Sibao won't die, Mother won't let her die," Shen Miao said solemnly, but her own mentality was already somewhat broken.
Jiuying rushed in and asked as soon as she entered, "What happened? I heard that Xiao Sibao is not well. What happened?"
Shen Miao forced back her discomfort and said, "My stomach hurts, but they can't find anything wrong with the tests, and Veterinarian Lin can't do anything about it."
"Let me see."
He stepped forward to examine Xiao Sibao, then looked at Shen Miao with a serious expression, "Did Xiao Sibao eat something?"
Shen Miao shook her head subconsciously, "No, she eats the same things as us."
Jiuying said, "That's not what I meant. Has Sibao gained the ability to devour? Has she swallowed something?"
Previously, Shen Miao fed Xiao Sibao beast crystals and taught her how to devour them without telling anyone else. But now she could no longer hide it, so she had to tell everyone about the beast crystals and the strange beasts.
"Could it be related to that? But a whole day has already passed."
Shen Miao only regretted that she didn't understand the abilities of this world very well.
As if she had a clue, Jiuying immediately said, "That's the reason. Xiao Sibao swallowed the strange beast but didn't absorb it, so the beast couldn't be digested in her stomach, causing her stomach to hurt."
"Then what should we do?"
“We can use external forces to help her absorb it,” Jiuying looked at Shen Miao, then shook her head and said, “It’s a pity there are only two of us, not enough people. I’ll go find Qingchen.”
After saying that, Jiuying left.
During this time, Shen Miao held Xiao Sibao and channeled spiritual energy into her, but as Jiu Ying said, her spiritual energy alone was too little, like scratching an itch. It was simply a drop in the ocean compared to the huge energy cluster of the alien beast inside Xiao Sibao's body.
Just when they were getting anxious, Jiuying and Qingchen finally returned.
Qingchen stepped forward to check on Xiao Sibao's condition. His handsome face was stiff and expressionless, and his eyes were devoid of any emotion. The occasional glances he gave Shen Miao made her feel as if she were about to be slowly tortured.
"Qingchen!"
Shen Miao had just called out her name when Qing Chen raised his hand to stop her, saying, "Don't speak."
Shen Miao felt uneasy and shut her mouth, not daring to speak again.
Jiuying walked over and started discussing with Qingchen. The snow wolf also came over and sat at Shen Miao's feet, occasionally rubbing against her feet.
"Xiaoxue, it's my fault, it's all my fault."
Snow Wolf shook his head and comforted her, "It's alright, Little Four Treasures will be fine. There are so many of us here, we can definitely help her."
Shen Miao calmed herself down and said, "That's right, Xiao Sibao will definitely be alright."
Over there, Qingchen and Jiuying had already made their decision. Shen Miao walked over nervously, "Well, is there any way?"
Qingchen remained silent, and Jiuying explained to her, "This situation where the food cannot be digested after being devoured indicates that Sibao's own spiritual power is insufficient. Therefore, we can input spiritual power into her body to help her digest it together."
"Is this all there is to it?" Shen Miao asked nervously, holding her breath.
Jiuying nodded, "Yes, that will work, but it will consume more spiritual energy."
Shen Miao took a breath. "It's alright. As long as it eases Xiao Sibao's pain, I'd give her all my spiritual power."
