Shuanghua cried out in pain after being beaten, her previous arrogance completely gone, and she begged Qingchen to let her go like a dog.
Jiuying also went up and kicked her a few times, shouting sternly, "Give me the antidote."
"I don't have the antidote," Frostflower stubbornly insisted.
Qingchen sneered, "This isn't enough!"
There's no longer any rule about men not hitting women. In this beastman world, although male beastmen will fawn over the females they like, they will still kill if the females offend them.
Qingchen alone nearly killed Shuanghua, and with Jiuying's even more ruthless attack, Shuanghua almost died outright.
"I'll hold her down, you search her body," Jiu Ying instructed.
Qingchen glanced at him and said indifferently, "I have a female beast. You can search me."
Jiuying: "..."
Having female animals is nothing to brag about.
Working together, the two found a small packet of green powder on Shuanghua. However, they didn't know if it was the antidote. They pressed Shuanghua for answers, and she said in despair, "Yes, yes, it's the antidote."
"Don't rush, let her try it first."
Qingchen dipped some of the medicine powder in his mouth and stuffed it into Shuanghua's mouth without saying a word. Shuanghua was in unbearable pain and cried, "I told you this is the antidote, why are you still doing this to me?"
Seeing that Shuanghua was fine after taking the medicine, Qingchen dissolved the antidote in water and gave it to Sanbao.
Sanbao took a nap and woke up to find the poison gone and the wounds healed. Shuanghua probably felt ashamed and avoided Shenmiao afterwards, not daring to show her her face.
After this incident, Shen Miao noticed that Qing Chen's attitude towards her had changed a lot, becoming much more... amiable.
It's likely that Shen Miao's suicide shocked him, making him realize that Shen Miao wasn't just saying it, but genuinely cared about the children.
Shen Miao was delighted. It would be best not to have to read faces, of course. Who wants to see the people around them with cold faces every day?
Even the most icy villain will one day melt into a warm and caring man.
...
After Lüzhu's death, Yaling was fostered in a relative's home.
Her relatives treated her poorly, and she received limited food. Sometimes, when she was extremely hungry, she had to go out and find food herself. On several occasions, she even risked going to the back mountain.
There were plenty of fruits to be found on the back mountain, enough to fill her stomach. After tasting the sweetness of it, Ya Ling often went to the back mountain.
This time, however, she was unlucky. While picking fruit, she encountered a wild boar with its cubs. The wild boar was short-tempered and, in order to protect its cubs, charged over and knocked Ya Ling away.
Ya Ling was injured and fell into a coma, but fortunately she was discovered by other orcs in the tribe, who carried her to Lin Shousheng.
However, after examining her, Lin Shousheng shook his head. Ya Ling's injuries were too severe for him to save. He simply treated her internal injuries and then had her relatives take her home.
Although her relatives didn't really like Ya Ling, seeing that she was about to die, they had to put on an act and begged Lin Shousheng to at least give her some medicine.
Lin Shousheng, with his eyes half-closed, said coolly, "If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"
If Ya Ling had been given more food back then, she wouldn't have had to risk going into the mountains and wouldn't have been gored by a wild boar. Poor little girl, she's never had any good elders.
Ya Ling's relative blushed instantly and silently tried to take Ya Ling away.
"Wait!" Shen Miao rushed in from outside.
The relative said irritably, "What's it to you? Get out of the way."
Shen Miao glanced at Ya Ling, whose eyes were tightly closed and whose face was deathly pale, and said in a deep voice, "If you put her down, there might still be a chance to save her. If you take her back like this, she will probably only have one way out: death."
“What do you mean there’s no hope? Veterinarian Lin already said there’s no saving him. Are you more capable than Veterinarian Lin? Stop causing trouble here.” The relative refused to believe it no matter what.
Shen Miao then took Ya Ling out of her relative's arms and said to her relative in an unquestionable tone, "You go out first."
The relative was shocked and furious. "What are you going to do? Green Pearl offended you before, but Ya Ling is innocent. She's just a cub. I'm warning you..."
Shen Miao was too lazy to listen to her nonsense and simply pushed the person out.
Then, he said to Lin Shousheng, "Uncle Lin, could you please go out for a moment as well?"
Lin Shousheng gave her a deep look, said nothing, and walked out. When he reached the door, he stopped and asked, "Will Ya Ling be alright?"
"I'm not sure, but I'll give it a try."
Lin Shousheng didn't know what to say, so he pointed at Shen Miao with his finger and closed the door for her.
Shen Miao and Ya Ling got out of the room. Shen Miao laid them flat on the bed and examined them all over. She found that the external injuries were not fatal. What really kept Ya Ling from waking up was her severe internal injury.
Moreover, the internal organs may already be damaged.
Such severe injuries were beyond Lin Shousheng's ability to heal.
Only Shen Miao's healing-type superpower is worth a try.
She unleashed her power, enveloping the cub on the bed. The green power, as if alive, coursed around Ya Ling's body.
While Shen Miao was treating Ya Ling, that relative was still causing trouble outside, shouting that if Shen Miao killed Ya Ling, she would have to pay compensation.
She even grabbed Lin Shousheng, demanding that he uphold justice for her.
Lin Shousheng ignored her, staring at the closed door, frowning and deep in thought.
After making a fuss for a while, the man got bored and shut up.
Just then, the door creaked open, and Shen Miao walked out. Upon seeing her, the relative immediately jumped up, shouting, "Where's Ya Ling? Did you kill Ya Ling? You vicious female beast, you killed her mother, and now you want to kill Ya Ling too!"
Shen Miaoli ignored her and said to Lin Shousheng, "Uncle Lin, Ya Ling is fine. She's just temporarily unconscious. She'll be fine when she wakes up."
Lin Shousheng went in without saying a word to examine Ya Ling.
The relative anxiously asked from the side, "Veterinarian, is she talking nonsense? I see that Ya Ling is clearly the same as before, there's nothing wrong with her, she's still keeping her eyes closed, isn't she? If you ask me, she's gotten worse after she treated her."
"No, Ya Ling has indeed recovered. You can take her back now," Lin Shousheng said quietly.
The relative gasped, incredulous, "W-what? Veterinarian Lin, did I hear that right? Why don't you check me again?"
Lin Shousheng emphasized, "I'm sure Ya Ling is alright. Take her back."
The man dared not disobey Lin Shousheng's orders and picked up Ya Ling with suspicion. Only after holding her did he see clearly that Ya Ling's complexion had returned to rosy and her breathing was long and even, completely different from her previous critical condition.
So, did Shen Miao really save Ya Ling's life?
The relatives were incredulous and, with Ya Ling in a daze, returned home.
Lin Shousheng was even more dazed.
