Yu Yao ate two pieces of roasted meat and then didn't eat any more, even though it was salted, after eating it for several days in a row, it was a bit hard to swallow.
She felt that it was urgent to search for a stone pot, and had not gone to the bathroom for several days, which was clearly constipation.
She prepared to go and find some fruits to eat tomorrow to ease the situation.
Mojue saw that she wasn't in the mood to eat, and thought it might be because the meat roasted today was not to her taste, so he said, "If it's not to your liking, I'll go pick a tender piece and roast it for you again."
Yu Yao glanced at him and shook her head slightly, "No need, do you know where there is a stone pot?"
Seeing his confused expression, she described the appearance and use of the stone pot again.
Mojue understood right away. Thinking for a moment, he said, "The Wujiu Mountain has a lot of stones. I'll go take a look before it gets dark to see if there's something suitable."
Wujiu Mountain is the territory of the Eagle Tribe.
Eagles are natural predators of snakes, and the relationship between the two tribes is not good either. It can be said that they are like water and fire.
Mojue was very unwilling to go there, but apart from that place, there were no suitable stones for making stone pots nearby.
Yu Yao was not familiar with this place and did not know that Wujiu Mountain was the territory of the Eagle Tribe. Seeing him say this, she said, "Then let me go with you."
Mojue's face changed color, "I'll go alone and be faster."
The reason for not taking her along is mainly because I'm afraid of encountering people from the Eagle Tribe. If there's a fight, I'd have to be distracted taking care of her, and what if she got captured?
It's safer to stay in the tribe.
Yu Yao heard that and didn't ask to follow anymore.
After returning, she quietly began to practice.
She didn't want to become Mojue's burden, no matter where they were, strength was very important.
This body of hers is a snow badger, even in human form, the bone marrow is still a snow badger, so the skills of the human race are not suitable.
She thought for a moment and retrieved a cultivation method for an evil beast, "A Thousand Demon Decree," from her memory to practice.
Although she was a Daoist practitioner before, she had gathered a variety of cultivation methods and remembered their content.
Now, it's just the right time to put it to use.
The Beasts' World continent has very abundant spirit energy and resources, making it very suitable for cultivation.
Although this body is very weak, its talent is surprisingly good.
After only a short while of meditating, she smoothly entered the first layer of Qi Cultivation.
According to the level of an evil beast cultivator, it's considered the early stages of the first level.
Yu Yao checked herself in secret and found that the spirit qi inside her flowed smoothly. She nodded in satisfaction.
She was about to continue her cultivation.
Just then, Mojue returned, and when he came back, he was carrying a stone pot in his arms.
She approached with a joyful face, ready to say something.
But she noticed that he looked disheveled, his clothes torn by the claws of some unknown animal, and his thigh was bleeding.
Although it wasn't severe, he was still injured.
"What happened? Who did you fight with?"
She furrowed her brows, knelt down, and examined the wound on his thigh.
Fortunately, the wound wasn't deep, just a bit long and there was no pus. Cleaning it and applying some medicine, it would be better in a few days.
Mojue sat in a bamboo chair, looked at his bleeding thigh, and casually said, "It's fine. I just encountered a few bald eagles."
"Bald eagles? And several of them?"
Yu Yao's brow twitched.
Eagles are natural predators of snakes, how did Mojue get so unlucky, looking for a stone pot and encountering eagles, a species that is naturally hostile.
She didn't know that Mojue had encountered not just a few bald eagles, but the entire tribe's eagles.
If it weren't for his strong cultivation, he might not have made it back.
"Hmm, Wujiu Mountain is the territory of the Eagle Tribe, and as soon as I went there, they discovered me."
Mojue took off the torn clothes and casually placed them aside, saying.
"I wonder why you didn't want to take me. There aren't any other places with stone pots? Why do you have to go to Wujiu Mountain to look for one?"
Yu Yao glared at him and then carefully cleaned the wound on his leg with the water from a bamboo tube.
Fortunately, there were some sanqi space herbs left in Yunyao space, otherwise, she would have nowhere to go to find medicine to patch him up at this late hour.
She walked to the corner where the miscellaneous items were piled up and, with her back to Mojue, she stealthily took out the remaining three QI herbs.
In Mojue's eyes, she was simply taking something from the pile of miscellaneous items in the corner.
"You wait here. I'll crush the medicine and apply it to your wound. If we don't treat it in time, it might get infected in this hot weather."
"Alright!"
Mojue smiled, his eyes revealed a warm glow, and he obediently sat there without moving.
Yu Yao returned quickly. She had already mashed the three QI herbs into a pulp, placed them in a bamboo bowl, and put them aside.
After thinking for a moment, she took out a piece of fish intestine thread that was left over from making clothes and cut a piece of snake skin with a knife.
She cut it into a long strip and used it as a gauze.
Finally, she applied the medicine and bandaged it.
Mojue didn't ask where she got the fish intestine thread, just assuming she had traded for it from one of the females in the tribe.
His gaze fell on her face, and after a careful inspection, he seemed to notice something different.
"I feel like your skin has gotten much whiter and more beautiful."
He had only been gone for a day, so why did he seem so different upon returning?
Maybe it's because she wasn't paying attention before.
After Yu Yao bandaged his wound, she stood up and heard his words, which made her pause.
She couldn't help but reach out and touch her own face.
She had eaten beauty-whitening pills, beauty-improving pills, and adjusting pills, so of course she would be fairer and more beautiful.
If she wasn't wearing clothes and her body was covered up, Mojue would have noticed that her figure had improved.
"Did I? I don't feel any different."
She looked confused, then muttered to herself, "Maybe it's because I've been eating meat with you every day. As I gain weight, it just looks better."
Of course, she was making up an excuse. Two days were not enough for her to gain weight.
Mojue hesitated, looked up and down at her, and realized that she hadn't gained weight, but her complexion had improved significantly.
He didn't dwell on it, just assumed that she had eaten well these days and gained some weight.
Yu Yao didn't know what Mojue was thinking.
She quickly went to bathe, with Mojue watching beside her.
She felt it was very inconvenient to wash outside every day, so she wanted to put a wooden bucket in the cave. This way, she wouldn't have to go outside to wash anymore.
"Mojue, can you dig a big wooden bucket for me tomorrow? Find a sturdy wooden post and dig it deeper."
"Alright!"
"And dig a few smaller ones too, for washing your face and feet, and for holding water."
"Okay!"
The two of them exchanged words.
Although what they were talking about was quite ordinary, Mojue felt very warm and cozy.
It was as if he suddenly had a sense of home, no longer alone.
He was also happy to do all the things for her.
Mojue's leg was injured, so they didn't do anything that night. They just held each other and slept until dawn.
When she woke up, Mojue had already taken the tribe's warriors out for hunting.
Yu Yao ate some roasted meat and thought about Mojue's words from yesterday. She picked up a basket and prepared to go outside to find some herbs.
Before she could leave the cave, she saw an old man standing at the entrance of the cave.
She wasn't sure when the old man had appeared or how long he had been waiting at the cave entrance.
"Who are you?"
Yu Yao looked at him in confusion. She didn't know the old man and had never seen him before.
However, the old man was quite clean and his face was ruddy, looking well-nourished and spirited.
The old man looked her up and down for a few moments before introducing himself, "I am a witch from the Snake Tribe. I heard you can identify herbs, so I came over to take a look."
Yu Yao heard this and immediately knew that it was because her giving the sanqi herbs to Mojue had been discovered by the beasts in the tribe.
Eventually, it somehow got to the ears of the witch.
Knowing that this old man was the tribe's witch, she dared not let him stand at the door, but hurriedly and politely invited him in.
Later, she also offered him a bowl of water.
