Chapter 228 - Chapter 228 9.9

The female lead was supposed to arrive in a month, is it really okay to come so early?

Feeling that he had been tricked again, Xunmi quickly stood up and went to the orc.

"Please let me see her." The female lead seems off; her face is pale with a bluish tinge.

Mu Yan was anxiously preparing to take the beautiful female he had picked up on the road to Uncle Tai'er for treatment, but he was stopped after taking only two steps.

Upon closer inspection, she was an incredibly beautiful female, so beautiful that words could not describe her.

Then there was this unfamiliar female, whom I had never seen before. When did this female appear in the tribe?

"Mi, what's wrong?" Yuan He also caught up. She was grilling meat for Mi, and before it was done, she saw Mi run out.

She put down her things and rushed over, worried that Mi might encounter something unexpected since she wasn't familiar with everyone.

"Yuanhe, something's wrong with this female. She seems... to be poisoned," Xunmi whispered.

He reached out to check the female lead's pulse, but before he could touch her, the male lead dodged him.

Xunmi's hand hung awkwardly in mid-air. She blinked and then lowered it somewhat helplessly.

She was already so gentle and had no ill intentions, so why didn't the male lead trust her?

Is it just that the male lead is born with no liking for the female supporting character and even inexplicably hostile towards her?

Yuanhe saw that Mi had lowered her eyes and looked very sad, and his heart ached.

His expression immediately darkened when he looked at Mu Yan. "Mu Yan, what are you doing?"

"Mi just wants to show the female in your arms that she's been poisoned. Don't you want to treat her?"

Jia and the others were also very unhappy with Mu Yan for daring to treat Xun Mi like that.

The fact that Xunmi rushed out so urgently means that this female must be seriously injured; otherwise, given her gentle nature, she would never have done something so impolite.

"Mu Yan, this is Xun Mi, who came back with us."

"She is a very powerful witch doctor. You can let her see the female in your arms."

Jacob suppressed his displeasure and explained to Mu Yan.

To be honest, they didn't really like Mu Yan; he was too arrogant and looked down on everyone.

He felt that Yuanhe was stronger than him because he was the clan leader's son.

They treated the people in the tribe as superior beings.

If everyone didn't know that he wasn't a bad person, but that his personality changed drastically because he witnessed his parents perish in a beast tide when he was a child.

Otherwise, why would everyone be so tolerant of him, especially the elders, who showed him so much pity?

But this guy didn't care at all, thinking it was all perfectly normal.

His father was killed by wild animals while protecting the tribe, and there was no body found.

The mother even died trying to save the chieftain's wife, but in the end, the chieftain's wife still couldn't escape the beast tide.

Speaking of which, the beast tide twenty years ago was really ferocious; it still makes me shudder when I think about it now.

Mu Yan frowned, his tone somewhat cold and hard: "How can I trust her? I've never even met her."

"You…" Jacob wanted to retort, but Yuanhe stopped him.

"Mu Yan, are you looking for trouble?" Yuan He's eyes had already turned beast-like, as if he was ready to attack at any moment.

Xunmi quickly grabbed Yuanhe's hand; she really didn't mean to cause trouble.

"Yuanhe, don't be impulsive. He's just worried about the female. It's alright."

"I'm sorry, I was being nosy. You should take her to the witch doctor quickly."

"She must have been poisoned; her face is pale and bluish. You..." Xunmi stopped talking before she could finish.

The male lead's expression, which seemed to say, "Why are you still blocking my way? Mind your own business," almost caused her to lose her composure.

Damn it, if it weren't for the fact that you're the male lead, I would have killed you in a heartbeat.

Suppressing his anger, he pulled Yuan and Jacob to make way for Mu Yan.

Let the female lead die from poisoning; then she won't have to go through so much trouble figuring out how to complete the mission.

Although she thought this way, Xunmi really couldn't bring herself to let the innocent female protagonist die.

Especially when she still had the ability to save others, she sighed, perhaps she really owed the consciousness of this world something.

"Mi, don't be sad. Mu Yan is just like that. Just ignore him."

Yuan gently stroked Mi's long hair with a tender heart. Ever since Mi hadn't dodged him before, he had started to subtly take advantage of her.

He would try to get Mi used to him in the shortest possible time, and then he would accompany Mi during the harvest festival.

Xunmi shook her head. "I'm not sad. I'm just thinking about that female."

"Her complexion was very off; I wanted to see what kind of poison she had been given."

She pursed her lips, turned around and took Yuanhe's hand, excitedly saying, "Yuanhe, let's sneak along and take a look, okay?"

"I'm very worried about her. I'm not sure if she's okay, and I can't calm down."

What else could Yuanhe say? Of course, he wouldn't refuse.

Jacob and the others, on the other hand, became increasingly dissatisfied with Mu Yan. They thought, "Looking for someone so good, Mu Yan is such a bastard."

The other orcs and females who witnessed all of this had mixed feelings.

If they had to choose, the first choice would definitely be the Tyre witch doctor.

However, they did not agree with Mu Yan's approach.

The female was only trying to be kind and didn't do anything wrong, yet she treated him like that.

She's a female, after all; how can you be so disrespectful?

Now, when they hear females say this, their hearts almost completely turn to the search.

The new female was sensible, gentle, and kind-hearted, and might even be a divine messenger, which made them even more tolerant of her.

Because it's impossible to see inside the cave at night, people seek medical treatment in those triangular open-air structures set up in the square.

A bright campfire was burning inside, enough to illuminate this small patch of land.

When Mu Yan brought the female lead over, the Tyre witch doctor had already prepared the necessary items.

Clearly, someone had come to notify them beforehand. Upon seeing the person, they did not panic and quickly had Mu Yan place the female on the simple wooden bed.

After examining the female, Tyrell frowned deeply.

I couldn't help but check it again before making a judgment.

"She was bitten by a venomous snake kept by the snake clan. The venom has already started to spread, and I can't save her."

"We can only hope that the snake clan has a cure. Sigh."

There are so many cases of people dying from snake bites that the visitors were at a loss for words.

Searching for the barely perceptible frown, she felt that the female protagonist hadn't actually been bitten by a poisonous snake.

No, it's not that simple.

Mu Yan couldn't accept this explanation. He had finally found a female who had captured his heart. How could this be? The Beast God couldn't possibly be so cruel to her.

He turned his head away, wanting to rush to the snake clan to ask them for the antidote, but when he saw the radiant female, he became furious.

"It's all your fault. If you hadn't stopped me, she wouldn't be beyond saving."
