Chapter 286 Healing
Xia Yueke raised her hand and gently patted Aqi's shoulder, her eyes filled with undisguised heartache. "Don't worry, in my opinion, orcs are still orcs and shouldn't be treated like that. Just stay here peacefully. These stray orcs are actually very friendly!"
Ah Qi was stunned when he heard this, his eyes were full of disbelief, he looked up at Xia Yueke, his lips trembling slightly, he stammered:
"Really? I..."
Xia Yueke nodded solemnly and gave her an affirmative answer.
In an instant, Ah Qi's eyes, as dark as the night, quickly filled with tears. With an uncontrollable tremor in his voice, he said excitedly, "Thank you so much!"
Xia Yueke was no longer as frightened as she had been when they first met. She noticed that Ah Qi's attitude was particularly humble, and he was trembling with fear no matter what he did, like a frightened bird.
Even though the crying expression on Aqi Niu's face looked a little scary at this moment, the fear in Xia Yueke's heart had long since disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by an indescribable sadness.
Since then, time has flowed slowly, and the friendship between Xia Yueke and Aqi has become deeper and deeper. Under Xia Yueke's influence, Aqi gradually opened up his heart and became more cheerful.
Because Ah Qi was a female beastman from outside, no one had prepared a place for her to live here. Xia Yueke thought for a long time and finally decided to place her in a nearby wooden house.
It was a slightly old house, but it was fully furnished. It was precisely because of the shabby appearance of the wooden house that no stray beasts were willing to live there. After all, some stray beasts chose to build their own wooden houses.
"Aqi, you can live here from now on. The furniture here can be used normally. If you feel bored, you can always come to me!"
The sky gradually darkened, and the twilight spread like ink. Xia Yuke estimated that Lang Ce was about to come back, and thought that he had to quickly settle A Qi.
Ah Qi looked up at the house, his eyes instantly lighting up with excitement. "I love it so much! I'll go get all the herbs I need in the next few days. They'll definitely help you relieve the pain when you give birth, so you won't suffer at all!"
Ah Qi looked so confident and anxious that he wished he could rush into the forest to look for herbs.
Xia Yueke nodded, her heart filled with joy upon hearing this. It turned out there were herbs here that could relieve the pain of childbirth. She had been worried about this before, but now she could finally rest assured.
Aqi knew that he had such a nice place to live and had met such a kind woman like Xia Yueke. He was full of gratitude and immediately thought about doing something for Xia Yueke.
She found a lot of thick vines and prepared to weave a basket: "Please wait, I will weave a basket soon, and then go to the nearby area to collect herbs!"
Xia Yueke looked at the pile of thick vines and Ah Qi sitting on a stone bench weaving them with great difficulty, so she sat down too. "Okay, it's still early, let's take our time, there's no rush. I'll help you weave a few. If you weave them alone, who knows how long it will take!"
Aqi smiled embarrassedly, and a rare blush appeared on Niu's face, but because the brown hair on his face covered it, Xia Yueke didn't notice it.
Xia Yueke looked closely at the face in front of her, which looked exactly like a bull's head. Curiosity piqued, and she couldn't help but ask, "How do you usually eat? Do you brush your teeth? How do you wash your face?"
Ah Qi was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Xia Yueke to ask these questions. He smiled foolishly, scratched his head and said:
"I eat just like you do, with my hands. I just have a bigger mouth, so I eat faster. We don't have anything to brush our teeth with here, but after eating, we go to the river to drink some water and rinse our mouths. As for washing our faces, we also go to the river and pat our faces with water."
As Xia Yueke listened, the scene of Aqi doing these things emerged in her mind. She almost couldn't help laughing out loud, but she felt that it was a bit rude, so she quickly held it back.
The two of them were weaving baskets while chatting, but their joy turned into sorrow.
Xia Yueke was not careful and her finger was cut by the vine, and bright red blood oozed out.
Ah Qi instantly became nervous, and hurriedly took Xia Yueke's hand, saying in a panic: "Wait a minute, I will heal you!"
Xia Yueke was just about to say that this small wound was not a big deal and would probably heal after a while.
However, what happened next shocked her. A faint green halo slowly emerged from Aqi's palm, which was covering Xia Yueke's hand. The halo, like a lively spirit, gathered towards Xia Yueke's wound.
Xia Yueke only felt the pain in her fingers disappear instantly, replaced by a warm and comfortable feeling.
The warmth spread through her fingers and spread throughout her body, immersing her in an indescribable comfort.
Xia Yueke's big watery eyes were full of confusion, and her pair of smart fox ears stood up high in surprise.
When Aqi finished the treatment, Xia Yueke quickly withdrew her hand, only to see that the injured area was as smooth as before and the wound had disappeared.
"This... is this your ability? It feels like a healing spell..." Xia Yueke looked at Aqi with burning eyes, as if he had discovered a rare treasure.
"Oh my god! You're so amazing! You can even do healing magic!"
Ah Qi felt a little embarrassed by the admiring gaze, lowered his head slightly, and stammered:
"I didn't do anything... My ability is healing, which... shouldn't be of much use!"
After all, in their world, the strong are respected, and abilities like this that seem to have little offensive power are often regarded as possessed by the lowest-level orcs.
"How can this be useless? This is amazing! How big a wound can your healing ability treat? If someone's hand is broken, can you heal it?" Xia Yueke was full of curiosity and blurted out a series of questions.
Ah Qi nodded and said seriously, "It's all right. As long as his limbs are still there, I have the ability to cure him!"
"If you're so powerful, why do your people treat you like this? Shouldn't they treat you like a treasure?"
Ah Qi shook his head lightly, his expression filled with loneliness:
"I don't know. Perhaps it's because I'm an orc. My head and face look horrible, don't they?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of soft hands reached out and gently rubbed the depressed cow face.
Ah Qi's big teeth were exposed, and he looked very cute. "What's scary about it? It's very cute!" Xia Yuke said with a smile.
Ah Qi's ears turned slightly red, and he whispered, "You are the only one who thinks so..."
Xia Yue was grinning and very excited, feeling like she had really found a treasure.
This is great. If I get injured in the future, I don’t have to worry anymore.
Moreover, this seems to be only the first-level strength of Aqi. If it continues to upgrade in the future... wouldn't it be equivalent to having multiple lives?
