Chapter 21: I Trade Meat for It

The half-beast that had been brought over looked bewildered; hearing that he had to lick the wound of a strange female, he could only scrunch his face and prepare to contribute his saliva.

Wu Yue beside her kept waving her hands: 'Really not needed, my finger is already healed.'

Joking aside, letting a strange male lick her finger—her morals wouldn't allow it.

A sturdy female stepped forward: 'Stop dawdling, the beastman warriors are busy; it's just a quick lick, not like they're going to eat you.'

Having her wrist grabbed, Wu Yue felt uneasy; she quickly unwrapped the herb bandaging her injured finger, revealing a wound that was no longer bleeding.

'Look, my wound really isn't bleeding anymore, and it's not swollen.'

The sturdy female was the first to look over, seeing that on the thin, pale finger, the wound that should have been bloody and messy was indeed no longer bleeding, and there was no swelling around it.

The surrounding females gasped in surprise, and the beastman beside them curiously craned his neck to look.

'It's much better now; when I used to get injured while gathering, even if a beastman warrior licked my wound, it would take a long time to stop bleeding, and the wound would stay swollen for many days.'

Talking about the injury she'd just suffered while learning to gather, all the females' little faces scrunched up—it really hurt.

The sturdy female's eyes shone as she looked at Wu Yue, ingratiatingly moving closer: 'Yue, where did you gather that hemostatic herb?'

Wu Yue looked up, somewhat bewildered: 'Huh?'

The female scratched her head, embarrassed: 'I also want to gather some to bring back; my older brothers and sisters always get hurt when they go hunting, and though they heal in a few days, they lose a lot of blood. This herb is so good, I want to gather some to bring back for them.'

Saying that, she suddenly slapped her own head: 'You can call me Mu Jing.'

After speaking, she pulled over the chubby little female beside her: 'This is Cao Yuan; let's gather together from now on.'

Her little face was full of anticipation.

Seeing her obviously trying to curry favor, Wu Yue felt like laughing.

What bad intentions could a little female have? She just wants your herb.

Wu Yue opened her bundle and gave each person five stalks of the hemostatic herb: 'I don't have much either; the patch I just discovered is small, and I've already gathered it all.'

'You can remember what it looks like; if you encounter it while gathering later, you can bring some back.'

Wu Yue's generosity once again earned the females' favor; the group gathered around her, chattering, a change from their previous silence.

'Little female, could you give me a few stalks of this hemostatic herb?' a male's voice rang out, especially noticeable amid the females' chatter.

Everyone turned toward the sound, and it was none other than the beastman warrior that Mu Jing had just brought over.

At that moment, the beastman warrior stood there somewhat embarrassed, scratching his head, his gaze toward Wu Yue full of hope.

Tomorrow is the day he goes out to hunt; although the little female's finger wound is small, that herb truly can staunch bleeding.

He had wanted to sneak over to gather some, but the little female said that patch was already gone, so the beastman warrior could only steel himself and ask her for it.

Seeing the females around him looking his way, the beastman warrior hurriedly said: 'I know the herb is precious; I can offer meat in exchange.'

As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings erupted in exclamations of astonishment.

Most of the tribe's people haven't tasted meat since winter began.
