BXBX NOVEL Chapter 229
Ch 229 Beast Era (9.10)
“Tell me: did you do it on purpose? Was your goal to kill her?”
If Yuan He hadn’t blocked him, Mu Yan would have grabbed XunMi by the collar.
XunMi didn’t appreciate being accused of so out of the blue. She could understand and excuse the first time. But didn’t mean that she planned to allow it to happen again. Especially when her accusation was rooted in such stupid reasonings. Was the male lead’s brain filled with air?
“Mu Yan, don’t be so intolerable!” Jia couldn’t hold back. He stepped forward with fiery eyes. He had been their first hand to witness XunMi’s abilities. To be frank, XunMi’s powers exceeded Uncle Tyre’s.
But Mu Yan could care less about what Jia had to say. He could only think that it was because of this person that he person he liked had been forced into her current state. With a roar, he transformed into a large three meter tiger.
Yuan He also turned into a silver wolf, with Jia also transforming into his beast form. However, because Jia possessed abilities, his beast form was considerably weaker than the other too. He was a beautiful lion of about two meters long.
XunMi didn’t know how to react. How could they just transform like this over a little quarrel? If they go on like this, she might mistaken this for a zoo.
Just as Mu Yan was about to pounce and Yuan He was about to beat Mu Yan to the group, Yan Luo appeared. He greeted each beast with a fist. Afterwards, he stood in the middle with a face filled with wrath.
“Have you forgotten about the rules of the tribe? No internal battles. Where have you placed your respect! Starting from tomorrow, you two will be on guard for three days. Reflect deeply on your actions.” Yan Luo could guess what happened. But no matter who was right or wrong, he wasn’t going to allow internal battles to occur.
Unwillingly, the two beasts turned back into human form. Yan Luo walked up to XunMi and spoke sincerely, “I apologize on behalf of Mu Yan for his actions. I hope you won’t take offense. His personality is just a bit impetuous. But this female, do you think you can save her?”
XunMi immediately nodded her head. “Tribe leader, no need to be so courteous. I’ll go take a look at her first. I’ll try my best, please don’t worry.”
Yan Luo was more and more impressed with XunMi. No wonder this female was considered an angel– she had such a nice temperament. If she was together with his son, that would only be the best case scenario.
“Pardon me shaman. I...” XunMi rubbed her hands together, a bit nervous. She couldn’t bare to even think of hurting these simple and trusting people. But now that she had vowed to save the female lead, would Tyre think that she was trying to challenge him?
Tyre smiled goodnaturedly. He lightly patted XunMi on the shoulder. “You really are a good child. Uncle Tyre is old now. It’s about time you youngins continue my line of work. Don’t overthink. I believe in you. So don’t disappoint me, child.”
XunMi noddedly brightly. She didn’t feel any malice from Tyre, only a pure form of benevolence. She replaced Tyre at the female lead’s bedside.
XunMi grabbed the female lead’s hand and pressed down on her pulse. It was long and strong. It was not similar to the pulse of someone deeply poisoned. She took a look at the little wound that Tyre had classified earlier as a snake bite. It was slender and small. At first glance, it truly did pass off as a snake bite. But XunMi was certain that this was not a snake bite. Instead, based on the books that she had, it was more similar to an injury caused by leeches. They specialized in sucking human blood. If not stopped in time, it will use the small opening created to enter the human body.
XunMi used spiritual energy to sweep over the female lead’s body. No wonder she was the female lead. Even when there were two leeches burrowed inside her, she wasn’t on the cusp of fatal danger.
She was only suffering from excessive blood loss, causing her to temporarily fall into unconsciousness. However, they still needed to quickly get those two bugs out. No matter how bright the female lead halo is, longtime exposure to the leeches would still kill her. She finally located the two pests: one was within her thigh, the other was inside the linings of her stomach.
XunMi first found the leech that had been taking a rest after drinking blood and chose to first eliminate that one first. To avoid her actions startling the other leech, XunMi decided to first freeze the female lead’s blood flow (T/N: ??!!!?).
“Yuan He, bring me the instruments that I had used on Jia. Jia, go fetch me some boiled water. The more, the better. Gavin, I need fire. Also I need two females. Can you help me?” XunMi thoroughly instructed. The last words were directed at the crowd outside watching the show.
Afterall, the female lead was a female. It wasn’t suitable to have beastmen assist her.
“You really can help her?” Mu Yan was still a bit skeptical. If not for the tribe leader’s presence, he wouldn’t even have allowed XunMi to touch her.
“Mu Yan, aren’t you worried about the female? Then you should hurry and get busy.” Tyre answered Mu Yan’s question and easily dispatched him outside.
When two middle aged females enter, Tyre also prepared to exit. But he was actually very curious. He wanted to know how XunMi planned to treat this female.
“Uncle Tyre, you are a medical man. You can stay. She wasn’t bitten by a snake. Instead, a small insect has entered her body. It sucked away blood, causing her to fall into this condition. Those two small holes were caused the two leeches inside her.” XunMi gave Tyre a simple explanation of a leech. She also warned that, in the future, those in water should be cautious to avoid this situation occurring again.
“XunMi, everything is ready.” Yuan He quickly brought everything over.
“Alright. Ma’am, please hand me a handkerchief. Meanwhile Ma’am, can you help me hold her down.” XunMi dispersed roles for two older females. She opened up the first-aid kit, taking out a surgery knife and silver needle. She needed to first use the needle to fasten the leech in place so that it won’t run away while she slit the knife.
But Mu Yan couldn’t bother with what XunMi was doing. He only wanted to know whether this female could really treat the person that he had brought back. “What is that? What are you using it to do?”
XunMi was too busy to bother with Mu Yan. She ignored his words. Jia and the others helpfully held Mu Yan back so that XunMi wouldn’t be disturbed. No matter how much he roared, Jia wouldn’t budge.
Meanwhile, the tribe leader stared in exhilaration at the thing in XunMi’s hand.
XunMi first took out a marker and drew a symbol around the leech’s location. Then she disinfected the needle over the fire. After disinfecting, she stabbed down on the mark she made. Slowly, she pressed down, using her spiritual energy to keep track of the leech’s movement.
