The moment the shell was placed in Chengguo's palm, it vanished instantly, turning into a pile of powder that slid down her palm and spilled all over the bed.
Shengxia's eyes lit up when she saw this. "Great! Quick, Muyi, right? Go and get some more shell coins."
After saying that, he immediately added, "Wash it once, dry it with fire-type abilities, and then give it to Guoguo."
Guoguo is currently unconscious. The stained shell coins are likely still usable, but she doesn't know if there will be any aftereffects. She didn't use any dirty shell coins when she was pregnant.
Guoguo's family has both male water and fire elemental abilities, so washing up shell coins doesn't take much time.
Since it concerns her and her baby, it's safer to wash them thoroughly.
"Okay." Mu Yi nodded solemnly and turned to make arrangements without saying another word.
The complete trust made Shengxia feel at ease, and she smiled as she continued to put coins into Chengguo's hand.
Soon, the coins given by the Wolf King were all absorbed.
Just as he was about to turn around and urge him on, he heard Mu Yi say, slightly out of breath, "They're here. Doctor Xia, do you think this is enough? If not, I'll go out and think of something."
Exchange some with single males you're on good terms with, but forget about males with partners, they definitely don't have any coins like everyone else.
Shengxia turned around and saw two large baskets of cowrie shells. Thinking that should be enough, she smiled and nodded.
"That should be enough. Let's give it to Guoguo first."
Ten minutes later.
She stared in astonishment at the pile of shell coins left on the bed after they had been absorbed, her wet almond-shaped eyes wide with surprise.
I was too hasty; I spoke too soon...
It's not that it should be enough, it's far from enough. It might not even be enough to fill the gaps in Guoguo's baby's teeth.
Seeing this, Mu Yi stood up immediately. "I'll go out and think of a solution. I'll be back soon." After saying that, he turned to look at the other males. "Anyone who's free, come with me."
"good."
Without saying a word, Manghe and the others followed.
Sheng Xia was completely bewildered. Why would she blush when trying to figure out a solution? They were all empty-handed; were they going to go out and borrow something?
In the Beast World, there doesn't seem to be any concept of borrowing money or buying on credit; everyone uses shell coins to buy things or barter.
There is no such thing as borrowing coins...
Seeing that Cheng Guo's face had turned slightly redder on the bed, Sheng Xia felt that she couldn't just sit and wait for her fate. She narrowed her eyes and decisively reached out to release her healing power.
A continuous stream of green light flowed from her palm, entering Cheng Guo's limbs and bones, while simultaneously nourishing her and the baby in her womb.
Orange, still asleep, relaxed her eyes and brows.
Seeing this, Sheng Xia breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, the healing ability worked!
"Wolf King, I want some water." As Shengxia relaxed, she suddenly felt thirsty and turned to Wolf King, whispering sweetly.
"Okay, I'll go get it." The Wolf King lowered his eyes gently, chuckled indulgently, and then turned to go outside.
They exchanged a smile with the straight, iron-white figure standing there.
Seeing that he looked relaxed and didn't seem to be in any trouble, Tie Bai breathed a slight sigh of relief, her pink eyes crinkling.
"How's Chengguo? Is Xiaxia alright?"
Xiaxia is closest to her, she will definitely be heartbroken if something happens to Chengguo. May the Beast God protect Chengguo and the babies and hope they are safe.
“Like Xiaxia, her unborn child is absorbing shell coins, so she’s fine for now. But if she doesn’t have enough shell coins… well, that’s another story,” Wolf King said gently.
He had clearly seen what had just happened; those few coins only provided temporary relief and were far from enough for the baby's needs.
If Xiaxia hadn't used her healing ability, Chengguo and the children might have been in danger within a few days.
"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on Xiaxia. By the way, did you bring a water bottle?" Wolf King asked, looking up.
"I brought it. Do you want to drink it or should Xiaxia drink it?" Tie Bai took out a clean water cup from the animal skin bag on his back and then held the fruit tea in his hand.
The wolf is male, so you can just add a glass of cool water to the drink. The female is afraid of the cold, so you should give Xiaxia a light, warm fruit tea.
“Xiaxia is thirsty.” Wolf King chuckled knowingly.
Tie Bai nodded, skillfully using his supernatural ability to add water, signaling Wolf King to heat it, and finally crushed the sweet and sour fruit and added it in, stirring it all together.
"alright."
While Shengxia was drinking water, Muyi came in with a pale face. He looked at his partner on the bed with concern, then at the five shell coins he had earned, and felt so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe.
what to do?
Without shells, his fruit...
"What's wrong?" Sheng Xia looked up in surprise, seeing Mu Yi's serious emotional state, and asked softly.
“Many pregnant females in the tribe need to absorb the energy of the shell coins. Everyone’s shell coins have been exchanged and used up. We…we only got fifty…” Mu Yi lowered his head in frustration, his voice low and hoarse.
Even with all the males in the family exchanging together, these few shell coins are simply not enough!
what to do?
Can Xia Shenshi save Guoguo?
But... the family can't afford to pay with shell coins anymore.
Guoguo and Doctor Xia are on good terms, so she can't do something without paying with coins.
Sheng Xia frowned slightly, looking at the shell coins Mu Yi had taken out, and after thinking for a moment, said softly,
"Keep the coins for now. I'll use my healing ability to replenish Guoguo's strength so she can wake up first. Then I'll go talk to the chief about a solution."
This amount of coins probably won't be enough for a day's use.
She first used her healing powers to give Guoguo energy, then secretly used some spiritual spring water to ensure that Guoguo could last for several days without any problem.
Make sure she's safe before thinking about the next step.
"Okay, thank you, Dr. Xia. I... I don't have any coins to pay right now, but don't worry, I'll definitely make it up to you double next year during the flower season!"
Mu Yiwenlang's handsome face was full of solemnity. He looked at Sheng Xia with a serious expression, and his words were like a vow.
"Hmm, it's alright, no rush." Sheng Xia smiled and shook her head, her almond-shaped eyes crinkling.
Given her relationship with Guoguo, she could refuse to give it to her.
As she spoke, her eyes remained fixed on the orange.
A sly glint flashed in Xing's eyes. Sheng Xia reached out and released her healing power towards Cheng Guo, sensing the intense desire of the babies in her womb, occasionally offering them a drop of spiritual spring water.
With a smile, she looked at her pregnant belly and said softly, "Don't worry, little ones, there's enough for everyone~"
