Chapter 42: Poisonous Female
Ashley nodded, "Yes, she helped clean up the dirty blood."
Su Yan continued to ask: "Did she talk to Rona?"
"Of course she talked. She kept trying to persuade Rona not to get too emotional. I tried to persuade her too." Ashley shook her head, "but it was useless. In the end, she still said something that killed me."
"Ashley, think about it again. Did Jialian do anything else while taking care of Rona?"
"What do you mean?" Ashley's face turned serious.
Su Yan nodded, "I am a little skeptical. Think about it, when Jialian first met Rona, Rona's body suddenly bled profusely. Did she really do nothing when Rona died?"
Ashley recalled carefully, "My grandmother and I once left the delivery room to discuss treatment methods, but Jialian and Rona were alone for only a short while."
"Enough, if she wants to do anything to Rona."
"But...what good would it do for her if she harmed Rona? Is it just to let the clan leader support her?"
"I think that wandering orc is also suspicious. Go check if he has had contact with Jialian. She is in the female cave, so it is easy for her to come into contact with such people. And the celebration banquet of the Beast God Temple is not so easy to sneak into. If Ye Pai is not invited to the banquet, the guards will definitely not let you go."
Zulu also told her about the leaf sign when preparing for the full moon banquet. The same is true for the celebration banquet. You need a leaf-shaped wooden sign specially issued by the Beast Temple to enter the Beast Temple.
Ashley's expression became uglier. "Okay, I'll ask Rag to ask. It will be more convenient for the males to go to the female cave."
"Rag? He's a frequent visitor to Jialian."
"What!" Ashley was stunned. She didn't know about this.
"Zulu said that when they were hunting demons, they were inevitably bored and would talk about some secrets between males, especially those about female holes. Rag said that in order for Jialian to get pregnant, males with high talents could enjoy her body at will without providing any materials."
"This, Jialian is crazy! No, I have to investigate carefully, you wait for my letter."
"Don't let her find out. Jialian is definitely not as simple as we see on the surface."
"If she's a vicious woman, I won't tolerate her!"
"Well, I just want to find out the cause of Rona's death before moving to the Rabbit Tribe. Since she called my name, I am no longer unrelated to this matter."
"good."
Ashley left again in a hurry.
Su Yan touched her bulging belly and said, "Jia Lian, what on earth are you going to do..."
Xiao Luo came over with the freshly made Erpi Nai, "Ashley, try my house, eh? Where's Ashley?"
"She left for something. Where's Zulu?"
"Brother Zulu went to the Rabbit Tribe. Before he left, he told me not to go out and to stay at home and take good care of the baby."
"..." He is in cahoots with the child-bearing system and only cares about the child.
[How many days are left before birth? ] Su Yan asked System Xiaomei.
Xiao Meihao said after a while: [Ten days, seven hours, 34 minutes and 53 seconds.]
[…No need to be so detailed.] Ten days later, she knew what Zulu was.
The next day, Ashley came to see Su Yan again.
This time she brought a basket of bird eggs to nourish her body. But looking at her dark eye sockets, it seemed that she was the one who should be nourished.
Su Yan poured her a cup of tea made from the roots of the seven-star red fruit.
After Ashley finished drinking it, she immediately felt much more relaxed. "This tea is good."
"It's made with seven-star red fruit, which is very difficult to pick." Su Yan took a dried seven-star red fruit and gave it to Ashley.
Ashley had seen this before, "Isn't this a poisonous weed?"
Su Yan replied: "When the fruit turns red, the toxicity will disappear. Then it will be safe to collect it."
"I see." Ashley picked up the Seven Star Red Fruit and looked at it. "If I see it again, I can't let it go."
"Well, these plants may seem innocent, but they know how to protect themselves and use poison to disguise themselves. When they mature and it's time to spread and reproduce, they will reduce their toxicity and let wild animals eat them or let them drift away with the wind."
"That's true." Ashley admired Su Yan more and more. Talking with her always brought her new gains. "Can't you stay?"
"Although I am the head of the wife, the men in the family are the ones who make the decisions, so I just follow their arrangements." Su Yan said with a smile.
"What a pity! I really want to be with you more often."
"The Rabbit Tribe isn't far away. We can get there by climbing over a mountain."
"Yeah. Anyway, the witches of the tribe often visit each other, and I will inevitably go to the Rabbit Tribe. I will come to play with you then."
"No problem." Su Yan poured her another cup of tea.
After the greetings, Ashley's face darkened.
"Just as you guessed, Jialian did know the wandering orc. The people in the female cave didn't say anything at first. Later, a female who didn't have a good relationship with Jialian said that the wandering orc had looked for Jialian twice."
"Jialian didn't go to the Beast God Temple's celebration banquet that day, did he?"
"Yeah. Pindong said Jialian felt unwell that day, so he went home to rest."
"She has a leaf card for the celebration banquet?"
"...Yes!" The more Ashley spoke, the paler her face became, and even her hair stood on end.
"I'll ask my grandmother to arrest her right now. Such a vicious woman must not be allowed to stay!"
"The stray orc is already dead. Words are not enough. We need evidence. However, evidence should be hard to find. Since she was able to plan all this, she must have thought about the aftermath."
"What should we do then?"
"Let her confess herself!"
"Herself... Impossible."
Su Yan touched her belly and said, "Maybe not."
…
Zulu came back from the beast forest, carrying two live deer and four purple clouds fruits.
Now Su Yan has to eat a Zixia fruit every two days to provide for the fetus's natural needs.
But this thing is a rare treasure after all, and it is not that easy to find. Zulu spends most of the day in the beast forest, looking for the purple cloud fruit.
Oro took the live deer and said, "We just ran out of fresh meat. Yan'er had a good appetite this morning and ate a bucket of meat and a purple fruit you picked. She is now sleeping."
"Well, I'll go take a look." Zulu had a gentle smile on his handsome face and went to find Su Yan with the Zixia Fruit.
But when he saw that there was a big pillow under the quilt and no one was there, his face turned cold as ice.
The next moment, the whole person disappeared from the spot.
…
Grom was in a very good mood and brought Su Yan a glass of milk.
Grom would treat pregnant females as his own children. "Good boy, drink more of this. It's good for you and the baby."
Su Yan was about to stand up and thank him, but was stopped by Grom's look.
"Thank you, witch. I'm here to talk to Ashley. Nothing else."
"She's checking the pregnant female. She'll be here soon."
Someone came into the guest room and said to Grom, "Witch, the tribe leader's wife is here. She said she has a headache and wants you to take a look."
"I'll be right there," Grom replied.
Su Yan said: "The clan witch is busy, I will just wait."
"Okay, if you need anything, just call for help. There's someone waiting outside."
"Yes, the clan witch."
After Grom left, Su Yan drank milk and waited slowly.
Someone else entered the guest room, and Su Yan smiled, "Ashley, are you busy... Jialian?"
Jialian was wearing a bright red low-cut long dress made of fine cotton. Her snow-white, round and sexy half-breasts made her originally ordinary face look even more gorgeous.
