Bai Di transformed into a white tiger and carried Huanhuan as he followed Xuan Wei.
By the time they reached the camp by the Black River, it was the next day.
He Xuan had fallen unconscious and had a high fever. Moreover, many red patches of different sizes had appeared on his skin.
“The most serious part is here.” He Guang directly lifted the animal hide blanket covering He Xuan, revealing his rotten penis. At the same time, a stench assaulted them.
Huanhuan was shocked and quickly covered her eyes.
Bai Di hugged her so that her face was facing him. He glanced at He Guang. “You scared her.”
He Guang covered the animal hide blanket back and smiled awkwardly. “Sorry.”
Huanhuan originally thought that He Xuan’s illness was just a small illness. She did not expect his illness to be so serious.
What surprised her the most was that he was suffering from a male medical condition!
Huanhuan only had half-baked medical and witchcraft skills. She didn’t know how to treat such an advanced male disease!
She said helplessly, “I’m sorry, I can’t help him.”
He Guang said, “I also know that his illness is too strange. I’ve already sent someone to the temple to invite an envoy over. Even if they travel day and night, it’ll take at least 10 days to get here. You just have to help him control his condition and not let it continue to worsen. Let him survive these 10 days. The envoy will solve the other problems.”
Hearing his words, Huanhuan could only reluctantly agree. “Then I’ll try.”
She mixed golden willow flowers and crispy fruits and mashed them together so that the paste could be applied to He Xuan’s skin. The paste had to be applied specially thick around his penis.
Before the envoy arrived, Huanhuan and Bai Di could only stay in the camp for the time being.
In order to make it easier to treat He Xuan, Huanhuan and Bai Di’s tents were arranged beside He Xuan’s.
The tent was made of animal hide and polished wooden sticks. It was very simple. It would leak when it was raining and shake when it was windy.
Bai Di specially reinforced the tent with animal hide and repaired all the spots that would leak. Huanhuan cleaned the tent with him, and the entire tent immediately became much more comfortable.
Huanhuan looked at the brand new tent in front of her and couldn’t help but give Bai Di a thumbs up. “As expected of the all-rounded male beast!”
Bai Di stroked her head. “What do you want for dinner?”
“Since we left the iron pot at home and can’t cook, we’ll have to eat dry food.”
Bai Di smiled. “Even without the iron pot, we have other ways.”
He went to the river and caught a few big fat fish that were jumping around. He also took out a large piece of pork that had been processed from his space. He cut it all into thin slices, smeared them with seasoning, and marinated them for a while.
Bai Di built a small stove with stones, then cut off a thin slate with his claws. He placed the slate on the stove and lit a fire.
He flattened the cured pork and fish onto the slab and fried them.
The fat and lean pork was fried until it was sizzling. The slice of meat quickly curled up.
Bai Di quickly picked up the pork and fish, wrapped them in beetroot, and brought them to Huanhuan’s mouth. “Be careful, it’s hot.”
Huanhuan took a big bite and was so happy that she wanted to roll on the ground.
“It’s delicious!”
Bai Di’s heart softened at her smile. “Take your time. There’s plenty more here.”
Huanhuan brought the remaining half of the vegetable and meat roll to his mouth. “You eat too!”
Bai Di opened his mouth and ate the entire half of the vegetable and meat roll.
The two of them ate happily.
The fragrance of fried meat filled the camp. Many beast soldiers involuntarily looked at the fried meat on the slate and secretly gulped.
He Guang was also attracted. He asked with interest, “What are you cooking?”
“Fried meat,” Bai Di said as he turned the meat over. “Do you want to try some?”
Most beasts did not know how to be polite, even He Guang. Moreover, his identity meant that he did not need to be polite to others.
He said, “Sure.”
Bai Di said, “The marinated meat is on your right. Cook it yourself if you want.”
He was only in charge of feeding Huanhuan. He was not in the mood to serve others.
He Guang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
But he wasn’t angry. He reached for a few pieces of pork and followed Bai Di’s example. He placed them on the stone slab to fry them.
He Guang was obviously not as skilled as Bai Di. He fried the pork until it was too tough and would be very difficult to chew. Fortunately, he had good teeth and could chew it even if it was hard.
After a few more tries, he realized that not only did it taste good, but the process was also quite fun.
Hence, the more he ate, the more excited he became. The large basin of marinated meat was almost empty.
He Guang immediately got the beast soldiers to catch a few more prey. After cleaning them, Bai Di was in charge of cutting and marinating them.
Not long after, Xuan Wei was also attracted by the fragrance.
Huanhuan waved at him. “Come and eat with me!”
Xuan Wei glanced at Bai Di beside her and hesitated for a moment. In the end, he chose to walk over. “What are you doing?” he asked.
“Eating meat.” Huanhuan moved toward Bai Di and patted the empty space beside her. “Sit down and let’s eat together!”
However, Xuan Wei said, “I’m not sitting.”
Huanhuan saw the metal armor on him and immediately realized that it was indeed inconvenient for him to sit in this outfit. She sighed. “Bai Di’s marinated meat is delicious. It’ll be a pity if you don’t try it!”
Xuan Wei thought for a moment, then put his hand on his waist as if adjusting some mechanism.
A moment later, there was a click as he took off the armor on his lower body, revealing his long legs that were filled with strength. He casually wrapped a hide skirt around his waist and sat cross-legged on the ground.
Bai Di handed Huanhuan a vegetable and meat roll. She gave it to Xuan Wei and said, “Try it!”
Her unintentional action stunned Bai Di and He Guang.
Bai Di said nothing, but he looked at Xuan Wei inquiringly.
Xuan Wei did not take the roll in her hand and said, “Thank you. I can do it myself.”
Huanhuan didn’t think too much about it. Since he didn’t want it, she stuffed the roll into her mouth and ate it with relish.
He Guang said half-jokingly, “Huanhuan is so good to Xuan Wei. Not only did she invite him to eat with her, but she also gave him her food. People who don’t know might think that there’s something between you two. I’m a little jealous.”
Huanhuan swallowed the meat in her mouth. “I just feel that Xuan Wei is like a big brother. Your Highness, you’re thinking too much.”
Xuan Wei paused when he heard the words ‘big brother’. He stole a look at Bai Di, but Bai Di didn’t react at all. He was still frying the meat calmly.
It was as if the words ‘big brother’ meant nothing to Bai Di.
