The moment Wu Yue spoke, the females beside her burst out laughing. "It's amazing there's even one leaf left."
There was no malice in their words, and Shui, standing nearby, smiled sheepishly. "I have a lot of cubs at home, so we rarely have any food left over.
I had to hide this leaf just to save it. Otherwise, those little rascals would have definitely found and eaten it."
Wu Yue looked at the wilted leaf in her hand, feeling a pang in her heart. "It's okay. Just seeing this leaf is enough for me to find the plant."
She smiled at the females around her. "My Amu taught me about this medicinal herb before."
"You're saying this is a medicinal herb?" Shui asked in surprise, staring at the tiny leaf in her hand.
Wu Yue nodded. "Yes. We eat a lot of meat, so if you get painful sores in your mouth, eating more of this herb can help."
All the females looked at her with respect. Shui sidled up to Wu Yue. "Yue, are you a witch?"
