Chapter 642: Beast World: Raising a Wife 16

After the frantic preparations, the priest also finally stepped back, laying the household animal pelts on the ground, letting the Sub-Beast females who were willing to let Bai Mo treat them place their young on the pelts to lie down.

Five cubs lay on the pelts, humming; there were Sub-Beasts and male beasts, licking each other's fur as if comforting.

She always stayed by his side, not allowing Bai Mo any mistake.

Not far away in the corner, Yu Wu and Dong Qian had already cooperated to boil a large pot of hot water.

Bai Mo, Adier, and a few others arrived carrying herbs and ointments; he first picked some herbs that reduce fire and heat, put them in the pot, and let Yu Wu watch the fire.

These days Yu Wu had been following Bai Mo every day to help, already well acquainted, and immediately said there was no problem.

"Bai Mo, child, you need to keep up your strength."

Dong Qian patted his hand to comfort him, "We won't let you leave."

Bai Mo blinked slightly, raised a smile, "Thank you, Amu, I know."

Not having time to say more, he quickly grabbed the male cub that looked the most severe, stroked its lion fur, and observed the symptoms.

Then, from a pile of wooden jars, he selected the most suitable, opened the wooden plug, and applied it to the red spots; he carefully cut away the fur at the most severe, ulcerated parts with a sharp stone knife, and applied another medicine.

Everyone in the cave stared intently at this scene, including the other four cubs lying on the pelts.

Hua Wan also stared fixedly, as if unable to believe it, yet also expecting a different outcome.

"Ooo..."

Not long after applying it, the cub in his arms seemed much more comfortable, feeling cool all over, no longer itchy or uncomfortable.

Even though it couldn't speak yet, it rubbed its fluffy little lion head against Bai Mo's shoulder, and no longer felt uncomfortable enough to writhe wildly.

"All right."

Bai Mo also breathed a sigh of relief, stroking the fluffy head to comfort, "It doesn't hurt anymore, go find Amu."

"Ooh."

The little lion understood, jumping from Bai Mo's arms into its own Amu's arms, exactly the female who had first believed in Bai Mo.

She held hot tears in her eyes, carefully hugging the cub, not daring to touch the medicated spot.

Bai Mo handed her a tiny wooden tube, "Take it to Yu Wu's side to drink half a bowl of water; wait until this time tomorrow, wash the cub clean, reapply the medicine, and repeat for three days."

Yu Wu waved at her.

"Okay, okay! Thank you!"

The female was overjoyed, hurriedly hugging and going over.

This result truly shocked many people.

The grasses commonly seen in the forests and behind the mountains, after this, actually could really save lives in Bai Mo's hands!

The priest also breathed a deep sigh of relief, his gaze toward Bai Mo no longer scrutinizing but admiring.

"Bai Mo! Bai Mo! Can you now go and bring the cubs over?"

"Yes, Bai Mo! We were wrong to blame you!"

Those Sub-Beast females were extremely nervous; they had initially shown disbelief in Bai Mo, now they wondered if he would be angry!

"Of course, I brought enough herbs."

Bai Mo was busy applying medicine to the cubs, having no time to look up at them, only responding while working.

Here, bustling with fervor, Yu Wu and Bai Mo cooperated in perfect harmony, letting the elders of Du Feng's household see something quite moving.

Originally they were unhappy about Yu Wu befriending this strange Sub-Beast, never expecting they could also learn such a fine skill.

It was they who judged by appearance!

Probably the only one unhappy was Hua Wan.

He stood aside watching; everyone gathered around Bai Mo, their eyes blazing with unprecedented fervor and gratitude.

At this moment Bai Mo became the kindest and most capable person in the tribe.

And he was nothing.

Hua Wan looked at Bai Mo with eyes full of envy and jealousy.

Why must he be so dazzling...

Even if Bai Mo were busier and more focused, it would still be hard to ignore that gaze which really makes people uncomfortable.

His motion paused, he glanced at the corner where Hua Wan stood, brows slightly furrowed, "Hua Wan, do you have any opinion?"

Thus everyone's gaze fell on Hua Wan.

Also catching his jealousy that he couldn't retract in time.

"No… no, you're amazing, I just…… am sorry, for things that shouldn't have cursed you, almost delaying the treatment of these cubs."

Hua Wan's smile was bitter, full of self-reproach.

But Bai Mo is no longer the person who knew nothing when he first arrived at the Leopard Tribe.

With Jin Chen's support and meticulous care, plus abundant knowledge, he has become far stronger than before and no longer cares about these things.

"Just a few words and you mention a curse; who knows who is actually possessed by the curse demon, me or you?"

Bai Mo withdrew his gaze, muttered softly, and continued to focus his attention on these cubs.

The speaker meant nothing, but the listener took it to heart; in Hua Wan's ears, this was Bai Mo mocking him, always just telling others about the curse, his face instantly turning pale.

He merely wanted the other tribe members to pay attention to safety, fearing Bai Mo might really be in danger; even if not true, it was just goodwill.

Bai Mo would mock him for this reason!

Continuously applying medicine to the cubs sent over, although it took a lot of time, fortunately the effect was remarkable.

Everyone also saw his hard work; moreover, although these herbs are common, preparing them surely also requires time to achieve such a good effect.

Having obtained the small wooden tubes, and the families whose cubs' ointment had calmed down, they all agreed they couldn't let Bai Mo busy himself for nothing; curing the household cubs was no different from what they themselves would do for their whole families!

Thus they all prepared to bring things from their homes to give Bai Mo, though they didn't bring it up at the moment.

After all the cubs had been medicated, Bai Mo instructed the Sub-Beast females still observing in the cave.

These red spots appear because the weather is getting hotter, the house isn't often ventilated, it's hot and humid, and the cub's fur is still thick before its hair grows, causing heat to emanate.

You should bathe regularly, don't keep the young ones cooped up at home; as for adults who have contracted this illness, they too should wash themselves often—look at this herb.

Bai Mo showed them what Isatis root looks like.

Making a decoction from Isatis root doesn't require much skill; just remember what it looks like, then go to the hills behind the tribe, find some, boil it into water, and drink it.

But don't try other herbs casually—some herbs can cure illness, while others can kill.

Good, good, good, we've remembered! Thank you so much, Bai Mo!

Yes! You're not a strange sub-beast; you're an excellent sub-beast!

We really misjudged you—being able to heal and so kind, you're practically a wise person!

Everyone praised him without cease, their gratitude heartfelt, yet they also felt ashamed for judging by appearance.

This was the first time Bai Mo had received so much praise and goodwill from so many people.

He pursed his lips, feeling somewhat emotional, his fingers rubbing the crystal stone at his neck, and suddenly thought of Jin Chen.

He wanted to tell Jin Chen in person that he really was getting better and better.
