Chapter 70: Sun Cao: You Are Back!
Of course, Ruan Chanchan was not a doctor. She relied on her system to detect the illness and treatment of these beastmen; thus, she did what she did best. She left the entire matter in the hands of Xiao Xi. The system also didn’t let her down. A few seconds later, Xiao Xi detected what was wrong with the child.
"It’s nothing too serious. It seems like the child was born with a weak stomach because she has been eating uncooked meat for a long time; the parasites in her stomach have grown out of control. Her weak stomach only adds more to the trouble; just help her deal with the parasites in her stomach, and everything will be fine."
Xiao Xi paused and then added, "The child hasn’t pulled for three days; it’s not a surprise that she is in pain like this."
Xiao Xi felt slightly sympathetic toward the child. Though the beastmen, women and mers were really strong, there were always exceptions like this little girl. Just because she was born with a weak body, she was destined to die in a few months. If Ruan Chanchan hadn’t arrived in this world, then this girl wouldn’t have survived either.
When Ruan Chanchan heard that it was just a bad infestation of parasites, she heaved a sigh of relief. However, she couldn’t just hand out the medicine without pretending that she had understood the child’s situation. She turned to look at Sun Cao and asked, "Did she have a hard time pulling for the past few days?"
Sun Cao’s eyes widened when he heard her words. When he brought Ruan Chanchan along with him, he was half certain that it was a dud. But now he was quite sure that Ruan Chanchan knew what she was doing. His eyes were shining with glee as he nodded and said to Ruan Chanchan, "Yes. My daughter has a weak body, and she always cries whenever I take her to pull by the riverside, but this time it’s really the worst. No matter how hard my daughter tries, she cannot pull at all. Look at how bloated her stomach has become."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Ruan Chanchan and carefully asked, "Can you really treat my daughter, Chanchan?"
"I can try." Ruan Chanchan didn’t dare to act boastful even though she was confident. She then crouched down and said to Sun Cao, "Go and bring some water."
Sun Cao didn’t know what Ruan Chanchan was trying to do, but she still nodded and scampered out of the cave. Ruan Zeqiu watched him go. Ruan Chanchan also got on her feet and said to her brother, "Keep an eye on her; I will collect the herbs that we need to treat her."
Ruan Zeqiu wanted to go with Ruan Chanchan, but the latter refused him on the pretext that she was a grown-up and it was the little girl who needed someone to take care of her. As she didn’t need to go far from the cave, she didn’t need Ruan Zeqiu to protect her.
Though Ruan Zeqiu was not willing, he had to accept that what his sister said was indeed right. She was not a child and compared to the little girl, his sister really didn’t need his help or concern at the moment. Thus, he plopped down on the ground and rubbed the stomach of the writhing girl.
"Papa."
"I am not your papa." Ruan Zeqiu snorted when he heard the words of the little girl. How young was he? How could he be a papa of a young girl like her? It would be a miracle if he could give birth to a child this big.
Ruan Chanchan glanced at her brother, and when she saw that he was fine, she heaved a sigh of relief and then turned to walk out of the cave. With the help of Xiao Xi, she found a few stomach-strengthening herbs that could be taken by the beast men without them falling sick. Once she had found what she wanted, she looked left and right, making sure that no one was looking at her, and she whipped into the space without leaving any trace behind.
However, Ruan Chanchan, who was busy looking at the ground, didn’t notice the beast flying in the sky and how it almost fell on the ground the second it saw her vanishing into thin air.
How did that woman vanish into thin air? Is she some kind of legendary beast woman? The flying beast thought in his mind while looking at the spot where Ruan Chanchan had vanished. It did a loop around the spot but couldn’t find anyone and started to wonder if he had imagined the woman altogether.
On the other hand, when the beast men and women of the Bear Tribe saw that a legendary beast was circling around their tribe, they turned worried. What was a Storm Soaring Beast doing around their tribe? If this beast went against them, even Chief Xie wouldn’t be able to fight it off!
Ruan Chanchan had no idea that she had caused a beast to circle the tribe or that she had caused the entire tribe to go on full alert mode. Instead, she was washing the herbs that she had found and then grinding them crudely in a grinder. Fortunately, the first floor of the supermarket had all kinds of equipment due to it being filled with fast food.
With her customers coming to mix this and that in their instant noodles or making a weird kind of milkshake, Ruan Chanchan had made sure to keep their comfort in mind.
Once the herbs were done grinding, she mixed in the anti-parasitic medicine and flashed out of the space.
"Chanchan, you are back!" Sun Cao heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Ruan Chanchan had come back; for a second, he thought that the woman was not going to return, but now that she was back, he could finally breathe properly.
