Chapter 397: Smooth Mutual Flirting

Being stared at by her own little companion, Qingcao gave an embarrassed dry laugh a few times: "Isn't it just looking for nothing?"

Wu Yue's face turned black, she felt as if her own flesh were being sniffed by other dogs...

I think these red rashes on your body aren't serious; no need to look, go home.

Wu Yue finished speaking, turned her head and gave a fierce glance at the still black-faced beastfolk standing there: "Why are you still standing? Do you still want to be looked at?"

Why go out hunting and strip off all your clothes, baring your chest and breasts?

The little female's sour tone was so obvious it instantly cured Yuan Lang's slight irritable mood.

The little female's domineering appearance is really cute; he likes it.

He gave her a smiling glance: "I'll bring you food later."

Afterwards, those long legs walked over to Wu Yue's side.

From now on, I'll only show it to you.

Wu Yue's face instantly flushed red; damn, she's really shameless.

By the time she wanted to say something, the beastfolk's tall figure had already disappeared into the courtyard.

Don't look anymore, they've already gone far; I'm saying, when are you two going to pair up? You're being all lovey-dovey.

Wu Yue's mouth twitched as she looked at Qingcao beside her: "Didn't I tell you to go back? And... who told you about being lovey-dovey?"

As soon as her words fell, Qingcao's finger instantly pointed at her: "Besides you, who else?"

Wu Yue: "..."

Sorry, I just didn't have a clear idea in my mind.

He gave a dry cough twice, no longer looking at her: "Alright, alright, hurry up and go."

Qingcao's face was full of disbelief: "Yue, is it really okay for you to favor love over friends like this?"

As Wu Yue was stepping into the house with one foot, she turned her head to look at her: "I think it's quite good!"

Yue, dear Yue, quickly help me check, I'm really itching to death, quickly apply some of that ginger.

Qingcao said while scratching herself.

Wu Yue rolled her eyes: "Can I really not care for you? Come in, how can I check you standing in the courtyard?"

Upon hearing that, Qingcao's eyes lit up, hehe laughing as she ran over: "I knew it, Yue is still the best."

Indoors, after Qingcao took off her beast skin, Wu Yue finally saw the small red bumps on her; this looks somewhat familiar.

She scratched her chin, thinking; it seems she really has seen this somewhere before.

Shouldn't this be familiar to a dog host? Didn't you often get this when you went to keep a friend company?

Wu Yue embarrassingly rubbed her head: "You're saying this is eczema?"

She used to often get eczema when she accompanied friends to look at abandoned factories, not knowing if it was due to something she ate or the environment, and it kept recurring.

Only after leaving that factory did it slowly get better, and finally it never occurred again.

But I didn't go to the hospital then, just used some ointment, and I still don't know what caused it.

Wu Yue was a bit at a loss, because she herself rarely got this kind of skin disease before.

The blue fat one squatting on the kang stretched out a little paw and disdainfully pulled at Qingcao's taken-off beast skin clothing.

Qingcao was waiting for her companion to treat her, but was amused by the little fatty's action: "Yue, look, your little beast also likes beast skin clothing."

Upon hearing that, Wu Yue rolled her eyes: "You're feeling so awful, yet you still have the mood to look at the little..."

She seemed to think of something, lowered her head to look at the blue fat one covering its little nose and retreating to the corner: "..."

What's with that face of yours like you've encountered feces?

Immediately, she lowered her head to look at the beast skin Qingcao had taken off: "Holy shit!"

Qingcao scratched the red rash on her body: "What's wrong, Yue?"

Could it be that my condition is so serious that even Yue can't treat it?

Qingcao felt terrible, her face turned deathly pale, she turned and grabbed Wu Yue's hand: "Yue, am I seriously ill? Is there no cure? Am I going to die?"

Don't worry, I can accept it, tell me.

Wu Yue had a look of seeing someone stupid: "Qingcao, before I tell you again, I want to ask you a question."

Qingcao's body trembled: "So, am I really not okay?"

She sniffled, voice sorrowful: "Ask whatever you want."

Wu Yue somewhat tremblingly raised her hand pointing at the black beast skin on the kang: "What beast skin is that?"

Qingcao turned her head to look at the beast skin clothing she had taken off, still lying aside; thinking of the beastfolk who gave her this clothing, she couldn't help but feel sorrowful and cried out: "This is the sheep beast skin Teng Kun gave me."

Why would Teng Kun give you a black sheep skin?

Qingcao lifted her head to glance at her: "There's black sheep skin there? That's clearly a yellow little sheep skin."

Wu Yue: "..."

Don't think I'll be fooled just because I haven't worn fur; tell me what that black lump resembles yellow sheep skin.

Then tell me, how did this little yellow sheep skin turn black?

Qingcao, being asked, felt embarrassed, tears couldn't fall, hanging on her eyelashes about to drop: "After wearing it for a while it becomes like this; everyone's like that."

Holy shit, is this natural dyeing or did you dye it yourself?

Damn, how long have you not taken a bath?

Qingcao's body stiffened: "Just a few days..."

A few days?

Although I'm asking her, just looking at the beast skin's color shows this time is definitely not short.

... After the rainy season I haven't washed...

Qingcao felt a bit panicked, then secretly glanced at her little companion's expression.

Medicine pill, that little black-faced one, oh—the one with an extremely strong will to live raised their hand and continued: 'But during the rainy season, when I went out to get food, I still got rained on several times; it's basically been washed away.'

Seeing her shrink her neck and lift her eyes to look at herself, Wu Yue sneered: 'Wow, you took a shower—big deal!'

Qingcao tilted her head: 'Shower? Ah! Yue, you mean getting rained on, right? I've gotten rained on several times.'

Tongzi's stifled laughter rang in her mind, and Wu Yue's forehead veins throbbed: 'You damn it, it's just because you're so unhygienic that you got this.'

After saying that, she grabbed Qingcao's tangled hair and scoffed: 'Your hair is Medusa-like; I told you to bathe and keep clean, but you forgot?'

Originally, for the sake of the Dao, Teng Kun would bathe and tidy up, paying attention to many details.

Now that she's won the Beastfolk's affection, she just doesn't care anymore—she's truly a scumbag.

Qingcao's little face was red enough to burst; although she didn't know why, she just felt especially embarrassed.

Especially since she got sick from not bathing, she always felt it would be embarrassing to say it out loud.

'So should I go take a shower now?'

Wu Yue nodded with a dark face: 'Yes, you need to wash, but not in the river water.'

Just looking at that fellow's eager-to-try expression, you could tell she wanted to go wash in the river.

As the weather got hotter, the females also liked to play in the river water.

But because of those sharp-toothed fish in the river, the males dug a huge pool not far from the riverbank for the females and young ones to play in.

One side satisfied the females' little wish to stay up late, the other side feasted their eyes—truly a win-win, very nice.

Qingcao scrunched her face: 'Yue, in this hot weather, you're not going to make me take a hot shower, are you?'

While saying that, her little face was written all over with refusal.

Wu Yue sneered: 'You guessed wrong; if you're going to wash now, you can only take a medicinal bath.'

'What is a medicinal bath, like rain?'

Wu Yue gave a sinister laugh: 'It's just pouring all the boiled medicinal liquid into a tub and you soak in it.'

"I... I damn it! Yue, you're trying to kill me!"

Wu Yue sneered: 'Choose between your life and the medicinal bath.'

"Do we even need to choose?"

Qingcao, looking miserable at her rash, said: 'Definitely the medicinal bath.'

Immediately, she put on a fawning expression and sidled up to Wu Yue: 'Um, do you want me to help?'

"What do you say? Are you really going to make this weak little female carry a big wooden tub?"

Qingcao glanced at herself, puffed up her ample chest: 'I'm also a weak little female, and I'm sick.'

Wu Yue: 'It's you who's sick, not me.'

Qingcao widened her eyes at the small-faced 'cold-hearted' companion in front of her, covered her face and wailed: 'Yue, I never thought you were like this, treating your sick little companion this way—I've misplaced my affection!'

"There's not a tear on your face—dry thunder without rain; your tricks have long been useless on me."

"Damn it, she follows me around every day, learns little of the good stuff, but she's picked up all these modern words and uses them fluently."

"Then put on that 'black' beast hide, go find Teng Kun to help you; my wooden tub is big, and we also lack someone to boil water."

Qingcao hehe-laughed as she put on that piece of beast hide that could be thrown as a hidden weapon: 'Then wait a bit; I'll be back soon.'

Wu Yue waved her hand dismissively: 'Hurry up, hurry up.'

Besides the house, she walked toward the side storeroom: 'Tongzi, give me the prescription for the medicinal bath.'

"Ding~ One prescription for treating mild to moderate skin diseases, deducting fifty host points, thank you for your visit."

"Details of the pharmacy can be checked on the system panel."

The system's clear voice rang in her mind; upon hearing it, Wu Yue opened the system panel and indeed saw an envelope-like thing at the end.

Upon opening it, sure enough it was a prescription, but...

"Tongzi, are you serious about these medicinal ingredients?"

Tongzi nodded: "Produced by the system, it must be top-notch, absolutely genuine."

"How come there's so much wild vegetables?"

Wu Yue's mouth twitched; someone who didn't know might think she was going to stew Qingcao.

Tongzi hehe-laughed: "This house can be used for a medicinal bath, can be applied to the rash on the body, and can even be drunk—it's truly an all-purpose prescription."

"As expected of the system, it's just awesome."

At this moment, Wu Yue couldn't help but give the system a thumbs-up.

After picking and choosing, she prepared the medicinal ingredients, several of which were still selected from the vegetable garden inside the courtyard.

Just as she had finished sorting the medicinal ingredients, Qingcao pulled Teng Kun and ran inside.

The scene of Medusa dragging the prince into her own courtyard played out just like that; I won't mention the other effects, but there's still some thrill.

"Yue, what exactly is wrong with Qingcao's body? Is it serious?"

It must be said that Teng Kun, as a man from a feudal society, is still quite devoted; even though Qingcao is as dirty as a refugee, he never leaves her side.

This feeling is like the prince's Snow White suddenly turning into Medusa, yet the prince still runs after her, unwavering in his affection.

She glanced at Qingcao with her brick-like head, but saw this fellow winking and blinking at her, her small eyes full of pleading.

Give her some face, Yue; saying in front of the male she likes that she got a rash from being too dirty makes her feel like she wants to meet the beast god right there on the spot.

"Well, it's because the beast hide is too thick, and the weather is hot like this, so that's why the rash appeared."

No one dwelled on this topic any further; Wu Yue pointed to the herbs on the stone table.

"First, boil these herbs into medicinal liquid; as for the bathtub..."

Before she finished speaking, Teng Kun turned and ran out; moments later he came back carrying a log thick enough for three people to encircle: "I'm making one now; this tub will stay here with Yue from now on, and other tribespeople who need it can use it."

Wu Yue nodded satisfied: "I was just about to say you should go bring your own bathtubs back."

Qingcao: "..." Indeed, I've misplaced my affection.

Teng Kun: "..." Fortunately he had made preparations.

After the three of them had been busy for a while, Qingcao looked at the wooden bucket in front of her emitting rolling hot air and shuddered.

"I... I really want to go in here..."

Teng Kun also looked at the bucket of medicine in front of him, somewhat at a loss for words: "..."

I just feel that if Qingcao goes in, I might become a widower tomorrow...

No, they haven't formed a bond yet; at most they'd just revert to being single.

"Don't worry, it's just that there's a lot of steam; going in won't be that hot."

Wu Yue's sincere face.

Qingcao looked at her with a doubtful expression: "Really?"

"You see my sincere little eyes."

Qingcao nodded, and as she entered the bathtub she turned her head to glance at Wu Yue: "Yue, didn't you wash your face today?"

Wu Yue's face stiffened: "You don't need to say the rest, hurry up and get in."

After saying that, she turned and walked out, damn it, surely wanting to say she had eye gunk.

Hehe, how could a little fairy have eye gunk? That's clearly ash that fell into the corner of her eye when she was just stoking the fire.

Teng Kun, who had been tending the fire and brewing medicine the whole time: "..."

Why didn't any ash fall into the corner of my eye?

"Whoa! Damn! Yue, you're really awesome!"

Qingcao's mournful howl drifted through the small courtyard.

"Host, this little companion of yours really doesn't know how to enjoy."

Tongzi, while licking his paws indoors, complained to Wu Yue.

"You need to understand, most people here bathe in river water; water of this temperature is something they can't accept right away."

Wu Yue thought that when she took a bath, she started with absolutely cold water, then gradually heated it up; otherwise she definitely couldn't adapt.

Hearing Qingcao's miserable cry, Teng Kun ran in from outside and ended up in a naked stare with Qingcao, who already had one leg out of the tub.

That was truly naked...

A certain Beastfolk's gaze twitched twice at something on the upper half of the little female before him, and then a spurt of blood shot out of his nose with a "whoosh".

Damn it, these days have been a bit too stimulating.

Seeing this, Qingcao actually, with the speed of faster than covering one's ears, extended two fingers and shoved them into the nostrils of the Beastfolk in front of her.
