Chapter 173: Fever Took Her Life

Yuan Lang's deep eyes glanced at Wu Yue, then, as if looking at something dirty, quickly swept over Ye Duo's body, and with his long strides he walked out.

Later I'll have the Beastfolk take her away.

After saying that, he vanished inside the house.

Wu Yue glanced at Ye Duo's corpse lying stiff on the icy ground, then silently lit a candle for her.

So, you follow them around all day with fiery enthusiasm, yet they can't stand to see you and would rather hide.

What are you after?

He was hesitating whether to let this unstable factor lie on his own ground, or simply take Qingcao out to bathe.

A tall, sturdy figure appeared at the doorway.

Seeing Teng Qian's face the color of feces, Wu Yue almost burst out laughing: 'Teng Qian, your mission isn't done yet?'

Teng Qian pursed his lips, almost crying out: 'Damn it, it's just because I happened to be standing on the necessary path Yuan Lang takes to the river.'

Wu Yue gave him a pitying glance; what could she say? His luck is just that bad.

Having said that, she lifted her delicate chin: 'Quickly get rid of this stuff; we're going out to bathe.'

Teng Qian's eyes lit up at the words: 'Bath? Want to join?'

Wu Yue gave a cold chuckle...

Sure, you're being cheeky; she smiled and walked out: 'Sure, perfect timing to call Yuan Lang along too.'

A silence fell behind her.

Moments later, the Beastfolk was seen gripping Ye Duo's nape with one hand, walking out with a righteous expression.

'You females are bathing, I won't disturb you; I was just thinking of protecting you, but since we're in the tribe, I have nothing to worry about.'

Having said that, he shook Ye Duo, whose face had turned blue from being choked, and said: 'I'll take this stuff back first.'

Having said that, he flipped away on his feet in a flash.

Watching the Beastfolk's justice-filled back, Wu Yue couldn't help but touch her chin, wondering: 'Is this really his character?'

Qingcao giggled behind her, rubbing up against her, urging Wu Yue to take her to bathe fragrantly.

When the two arrived at the riverbank, many grandmothers were already washing animal pelts there.

Grandmother Lvshui's gathering team happened to be resting today; seeing them approach, they all warmly greeted them.

'What are you two brats doing down at the river at this time?'

Wu Yue lifted the beast pelt in her hand, originally white but now gray, and said with a smile: 'I came to wash the pelt; Qingcao said she came to bathe.'

Grandmother Lvshui blinked at the words, then looked in surprise at Qingcao beside Wu Yue: 'What are you up to, kid? Why are you taking a bath?'

Wu Yue blinked at the words: '...'

Holy shit, is that how your conversations always go?

Isn't bathing good? Doesn't she smell nice when clean? Isn't it great to smell foul every day?

Qingcao gave a hehe laugh, glanced at Wu Yue, then whispered: 'Yue always bathes too; she never gets a fever, and my body is much better than hers, so I'll be fine.'

Wu Yue fell silent, then suddenly looked at Grandmother Lvshui: 'You're stopping her from bathing because you're afraid she'll get a fever, right?'

Grandmother Lvshui nodded: 'You've seen this brat and her older sister; when they were little, because the summer was too hot, I gave them both a bath.'

Speaking, she glanced at Qingcao with lingering fear: 'But who would have thought that one time almost cost her her life?'

Speaking, she glanced at Qingcao with lingering fear: 'That's why I usually don't let her bathe.'

Wu Yue fell silent for a moment, then smiled at Qingcao: 'Grandma, do you have time now?'
