Shu Yue and the others were still eating roasted meat at their own home, with no need to rush over. If the beast tide didn't come tonight, they wouldn't need to move.
If the beast tide did come, at Went's speed, he could quickly send them over without delay.
Leite and Shuxin returned to their own home, likely to have some private conversations.
Shu Yue gently blew on a new scar on Went's body, her voice filled with concern, "This is too deep."
Went, however, was nonchalant. "It's a minor injury, it'll heal in a few days. Don't worry."
Seeing the beastman's unconcerned demeanor, Shu Yue snorted, "Thick-skinned and tough. If you don't fear pain, then I won't bother with you!"
Went knew she was worried about him, so he smiled and nuzzled her neck, "Yue Yue~"
Shu Yue pushed his head away. "No."
Went didn't insist. The timing wasn't right, and if the beast tide came tonight, it would be unsatisfying.
He moved his large hand to a different spot, stroking the slight swell of the female's abdomen. "How about I go to the big cave and set up a bed for you? We can't go without sleep tonight."
Shu Yue shook her head. "No need. I'll stay with my sister, and there are too many people in the cave. I wouldn't be able to sleep."
There were over a thousand people in the cave. Being watched by so many, how could she possibly sleep? She was impressed that the witch doctor could sleep even when lying on the ground and being watched by everyone last night.
If it were her, even if she were extremely drowsy, she would be woken up by being watched.
Went sighed. There was nothing he could do, so he could only let Yue Yue be a little uncomfortable for now.
The two chatted for a while in the night and fell asleep in each other's arms.
The rain that had lasted for more than twenty consecutive days had washed away the heat of the Yellow Moon Rose. The weather wasn't cold yet, but it wasn't hot either. Sleeping embraced without a blanket was just right.
In the latter half of the night, as expected, the roar of the tribal chief summoning the tribesmen echoed through the tribe. Went instantly woke up, scooped up the still sleepy Shu Yue, and rushed out.
Before leaving, he grabbed the beast skin bag prepared that evening, which contained roasted meat chunks wrapped in leaves, and a few wild fruits. These were all that was left at home.
Along the way, they met Leite carrying Shuxin, with Shuxin on his back. They looked as if they had just woken up.
Shu Yue only truly woke up after being sent to the cave. Went put her down and turned to leave. The beastmen at the cave entrance were not Fox Fur and his group, but rather the injured with strong self-healing abilities.
The tribesmen inside the cave were awakened by the roar. Seeing their sisters sent over first, a few females looked on with envy.
If only they had such powerful males as companions!
The sisters didn't walk further back, they stood at the front. Soon, injured individuals would be carried in, and they would have to come over again, which would be troublesome.
As they stood, some beastmen enthusiastically moved stones for them. A pregnant woman and a female with medical skills should not be tired.
Hu Sha and the others came closer. "Xin'er, are you rested?"
Shuxin nodded. "I'm rested, thank you for your concern, Ama."
Hu Sha smiled and said, "With our relationship, there's no need for thanks."
Xing sniffed and looked at the beast skin bag in Shu Yue's hand, asking, "Yue Yue, what's in here? It smells so good."
Shu Yue's mouth twitched. Her nose was truly sharp, asking even after smelling it!
"Ama Xing, this is roasted meat that Went prepared for me, fearing I would be hungry at night." She really might be hungry.
Hu Sha and the other two smiled wryly. Ama Xing said, "Went is so thoughtful. Balun has never taken care of us like this."
"Don't you think so?" Xing asked the other two.
Hu Sha nodded but remained silent. Lan Hua waved her hand, "We're old now, we can't compete with young females for favor~"
They had never been pregnant, and Balun was the chief. Apart from not taking much care in daily life, there was nothing to fault him on in other aspects. He was already a good male.
Shu Yue's face turned slightly red from their words. She joked, "If you Ama want to be taken care of, isn't that simple? I'll speak to your Abos next time I see them~"
Hu Sha chuckled. "Let's forget it then. Ama's waists can't handle it."
"..." How did the conversation become so risqué?
Yiyi watched coldly from the corner, the flame of jealousy in her heart burning ever brighter!
When she came to her senses, she was already standing in front of Shuxin, instinctively saying, "Shuxin, perform acupuncture on my mother again."
Shuxin looked up. "Has the witch doctor not recovered from her illness yet?"
Yiyi's chest heaved. Her tone was slightly sharp. "You've only done it once, how could she recover?" She herself had taken three treatments to fully recover.
Shuxin sighed softly. "The witch doctor also understands medicine."
With that statement, the implication was clear: if she understood medicine, why would she need someone else to treat her?
Yiyi realized this, and her expression turned unpleasant. She wanted to say something, but the other person had already stood up. "Let's go."
"..." She could only suppress it.
Shuxin would help the witch doctor recover faster by doing it herself, and she would be more relaxed during the beast tide.
After needling the witch doctor, she sat aside and waited. During this time, Yiyi's hands, which were trying to steal needles, were restless. However, it was inconvenient to act under everyone's watchful eyes. Until the other person withdrew the needles and left, she had no opportunity to make a move.
The familiar beast roars arrived. This time, it seemed to be a bit easier, ending by dawn.
The next two days saw another wave, and the beast tide finally came to a complete end. The tribesmen looked at the long-awaited sunlight and cheered from the bottom of their hearts.
Only those who had lost loved ones were silently shedding tears. This beast tide was the one with the least casualties, and Balun's gaze swept over the Shu Yue sisters. Their contributions were part of this.
One taught them how to dig traps, and the other possessed medical skills far superior to the witch doctor. Countless tribesmen had died each year due to delayed treatment of injuries. This year, as long as they were alive and brought to Shuxin, not a single person died!
Balun was now convinced that Shuxin was a messenger of the beast god!
With such powerful medical skills, and so many strange and peculiar items on her person, beastmen had never seen such sharp small knives, and even the bag she carried and the shoes she wore were unseen by anyone. Apart from a messenger of the beast god, he could not think of any other identity!
The witch doctor was not foolish. If the chief could perceive it, she naturally could also perceive Shuxin's identity.
However, she was not happy. She only felt a sense of crisis. A messenger of the beast god could shake her status as witch doctor!
She closed her eyes and said, "Yiyi, give up on Leite."
Yiyi thought she had misheard. "Mother, what did you say?"
The witch doctor repeated, "Give up on Leite. You can't win against Shuxin."
This time, Yiyi heard clearly but still couldn't believe it. "Mother, why would you advise me to give up? Apart from dragon beasts, who else in the tribe is worthy of being my mate?"
The witch doctor looked at her most proud daughter and felt regret. She could only tell her the truth. "Yiyi, if I'm not mistaken, Shuxin is a messenger of the beast god."
"Do you remember the prophecy I spoke of during the Yellow Moon Rose? The messenger of the beast god will keep the tribesmen away from illness, will do what we cannot, and know what we do not. All of this has come true for Shuxin."
Her mysterious medical skills, the possession of magical items like silver needles and tablets, the sharp knives never seen before by the beastmen, and even the bag she carried and the shoes she wore were all unseen by anyone.
