The female animal was overjoyed to hear that she could still cure the disease.
But she quickly realized that she didn't have any beast crystals at home and wondered how much money Shen Miao would charge. She was a little troubled. Shen Miao seemed to see through her thoughts and said calmly, "Don't worry about the beast crystals. You can give them to me slowly when you're better."
"Okay, okay, I'll definitely repay you double when the time comes." The female beast was extremely grateful.
Shen Miao waved her hand, turned and left. The two children saw her off. The younger one called out to Shen Miao, trembling as he held up a small flower and said softly, "Auntie, this is for you."
Shen Miao took the flowers, patted his little head, and said, "Thank you, little one, Auntie likes them very much."
The younger brother then grinned and laughed happily.
Shen Miao said goodbye to them. On her way back, she saw that the place where the tribe had been buried by the mudslide was still a ruin. The beastmen had nowhere to go, so they built thatched huts on it and made do with living there.
However, these thatched huts are terrible when it rains, and they don't keep out the cold in winter, making them far less convenient than wooden or stone houses.
Shen Miao had been thinking about this issue, and when she got back, she mentioned it to Qing Chen. Qing Chen nodded and said, "It's time to organize them to build new houses. I'll go and discuss it with the cat beastmen."
Afterwards, Shen Miao spent some time planning the construction of a new house on the original ruins. She showed the blueprints to Qing Chen and the cat beastman, and both of them were full of praise.
The cat-beastman even joked, "If my house hadn't been buried, I would have built a house on top of yours too."
“That’s easy, just demolish your house,” Shen Miao said with a smile.
The cat-beastman laughed: "Your idea is good. Let me make a fortune in business first."
In fact, the tribal beastmen don't need to spend much beast crystal to build houses, because the firewood and stones they need can be obtained from the mountains and rivers.
It only takes a little effort.
The tribe began to bustle with activity. The young and strong male beasts went to build houses, leaving the task of finding food to the female beasts and their cubs.
Shen Miao led everyone to pick wild vegetables, hunt, and fish. In the evening, they cooked a big pot of mixed vegetables and meat, and everyone was very satisfied with the meal. They said that building a house was just right, as the food was much better than usual.
After working for more than a month, the house was almost finished. On the day they moved into the new house, Shen Miao had someone cut a lot of bamboo from the mountain. The sound of the bamboo burning crackled and popped, which was very festive.
It was like setting off firecrackers.
The cubs ran around the fire, while the adult beastmen sat together chatting. Everyone was beaming with joy, and they were all genuinely grateful to the Shen Miao family.
If it weren't for Qingchen and Shen Miao, they would still be living in thatched houses.
Shen Miao was also very happy. In her happiness, she couldn't help but drink a couple more glasses. The wine here doesn't have a set alcohol content, but you can still get drunk if you drink too much. Now Shen Miao's cheeks are flushed, and she just sits there, only knowing how to giggle foolishly.
Qingchen walked over and called to her, "Let's go home."
Shen Miao looked up and saw a tall, handsome man in front of her. She couldn't help but giggle twice and said honestly, "Handsome guy, you're really good-looking, but you can't break my legs, or I won't say you're good-looking."
Qingchen couldn't understand her words and found it amusing.
When did he decide to break the other person's leg?
However, during the time he was injured, Shen Miao acted up and abused the cubs in all sorts of ways, and he did have such thoughts, but now he has no such thoughts at all.
"If you behave, I won't hit you," Qingchen said seriously.
Shen Miao's mind was a complete mess, and she instinctively said, "I'll be obedient, I'll be very obedient."
The surrounding beastmen smiled kindly.
Shen Miao was drunk and didn't care about other people's opinions. She reached out to Qing Chen and said coquettishly, "Then help me up, I can't get up."
Qingchen reached out and pulled her up. Shen Miao followed him happily, trotting home with joy.
The next morning, when Shen Miao woke up, she couldn't help but cover her face as she thought about what happened the night before. She was really something else; she was like a completely different person when she got drunk. It seemed she could never touch alcohol again; alcohol was really no good.
The children burst through the door, their little faces puffed up with anger, and began to complain about Shen Miao.
"Mother, if you're drunk, you don't need your baby anymore, you only need Father."
Last night, Mother didn't even ask about them, and Father forgot about them too. In the end, they were sent back by the cat beastmen. It was just too much.
Shen Miao felt a little embarrassed and mumbled, "Mother drank too much and thought you were already back."
She rolled over and got up, glanced at the sky, and said, "It's so late, I need to hurry up and cook." Then she left, escaping the children's questions. Shen Miao silently gave herself a thumbs up, thinking to herself, "So clever."
After everyone finished eating, they prepared to go about their own business.
Just as Jiuying was about to leave, Shuanghua walked over and, without saying a word, grabbed his face.
The fingernail dug into the flesh, leaving five deep, bloody marks.
After grabbing the person, Shuanghua turned and ran away, giving Jiuying no time to react.
The others were also dumbfounded, but Shen Miao quickly walked over. The first thing she saw was the deep bloodstains on Jiu Ying's face, and she immediately became angry, "This madman, I'll go and bring him back to you."
"Shen Miao, forget it. You don't even know where she's gone now. Let's talk about it when we see her again." Jiu Ying stopped her.
Shen Miao thought it made sense, so she didn't chase after them. She went inside to find something and came out to treat the scratches on Jiu Ying's face.
This shows how much force was used; in some places, the flesh was even torn out.
While applying medicine to Jiuying, Shen Miao cursed loudly, finally saying, "Don't let me see her these next few days. If I see her, I'll break her arm."
She then said to Jiuying, "If you feel unwell, you must tell me."
"It's okay, I feel fine now."
Shen Miao was still worried. She felt that Shuanghua's behavior was very strange and that it was not simply about grabbing Jiuying. However, she could not detect any toxicity with her special ability, so she could only observe for the time being.
The wounds of the Nine-Headed Serpent gradually healed, and nothing else happened during this time.
Shen Miao gradually felt relieved.
Maybe she was just overthinking it. That crazy Frostflower was just trying to disgust people.
Unbeknownst to her, after returning home, Frostflower opened the altar that had been unused for a long time and carefully dripped the blood from her fingernails into it.
As the blood completely merged into the altar, a wisp of red smoke quietly drifted into Jiuying's body without him even noticing.
During his daily meditation, Jiuying felt an increase in his spiritual energy. He didn't know why, guessing it might be due to absorbing beast crystals, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
