Chapter 71: Chapter 71: New Discovery
 

Qi Yue had just walked closer when she saw each of these tigers with their mouths wide open, dripping with saliva and staring at her with round eyes as if to say, “Feed me, I’m easy to feed.”

It was then she remembered that she had just given Zhao Xiyan acupuncture and got Spiritual Spring Water on herself, which these clever creatures must have smelled.

“Their noses are really sharp.”

She chuckled and began to feed the tigers soybeans soaked in Spiritual Spring Water right into their gaping mouths.

After tossing a couple, she suddenly remembered these guys didn’t eat beans and quickly switched to meat buns.

She had stored many buns in her space earlier and hadn’t gotten around to eating them, so these creatures were in for a treat.

Tigers, being feline creatures, could be formidable but turned into giant cats the moment you stroked their fur right.

Watching eight big tigers rolling on the grass, begging to be fed, Qi Yue’s heart blossomed with joy.

The natives were really supportive, delivering helpers every time they came—what would it be next time?

Snakes? Or eagles?

It seemed she needed to make some time to prepare some Spiritual Spring Water Sugar Pills. Always magically producing water and objects was not a sustainable plan.

She was delighted, but the natives hiding in the forest were desperate.

They urgently called for the tigers to return, but found not even one looked back.

“Dad, let’s go back. This woman is no ordinary person, and besides, she saved Hai Zhu. Just let them live here!”

In the darkness, a young man knelt beside an elderly man, pleading intensely.

He was the native man Qi Yue had released that night.

At that time, Zhao Xiyan had said he didn’t seem like an ordinary native, and he was right.

His name was Hai Mu, and his father, standing right in front of him, was the tribal chief, Hai Le.

Hai Le had a bit of a temper. Hearing Hai Mu mention Hai Zhu seemed to make him even angrier, kicking him out with a foot and ordering the tribe to attack.

“Kill this foreign woman! Burn her house down!”

“Kill this foreign woman! Burn her house down!”

“…”

The voices of about three hundred people shouting resounded far into the night sky.

Then, the natives, hand in hand, formed a human wall and marched steadily toward Qi Yue.

As they walked, they muttered a chant-like tune.

“Kill… Roar ha!”

“Kill… Roar ha!”

“Kill… Roar ha!”

This scene infuriated Qi Yue!

She swooshed out a Firewood Chopping Knife from her bosom and walked toward the direction the natives were coming from.

I wrote a letter to you, wanting a proper discussion, but you chose death instead!

Then let it be death!

Let’s see who dies in greater numbers today!

At that moment, Kang Ji’s figure appeared again on the slope to the right.

He rushed down with great speed, shouting loudly.

“We must not fight, we must not fight!”

Qi Yue hummed and ignored him.

She shouldn’t have listened to this coward the first time, sparing these natives and simply ruining her own prestige.

Now, these natives were becoming increasingly audacious. If she didn’t show them some color, they would think she was easy to mess with!

Qi Yue held the Firewood Chopping Knife high, its sharp blade shimmering with a sinister glow under the harsh light of the pale sun lamp.

Da Hei, along with Er Hei and San Hei and a group of cattle, automatically stood to her left, while the eight newly subjugated tigers also moved to stand on her right. One of them even came in front of her and lay down, whimpering and licking her hand as if to suggest she should ride it.

Qi Yue was thrilled.

She had ridden horses, ridden cattle, but had never ridden a tiger.

The tigers of this primitive great forest were indeed not lacking in food and drink. They were plump and sturdy, with dense fur that felt extremely soft to sit on.

In the blink of an eye, Qi Yue was leading her army of tiger oxen into a skirmish with the indigenous people.

To call it a skirmish was almost too kind to these indigenous people.

She sat on the tiger’s back, not even lifting a finger, just taking a round trip. The formations of the indigenous people were immediately flattened by the tigers and oxen.

Only the rustle of the deep jungle could be heard as the remaining indigenous people ran away in an instant.

“They really are useless, abandoning their own people like that!”

Qi Yue jumped down from the tiger’s back and saw that many of the trampled indigenous people were half-dead, which somewhat troubled her.

To save, or not to save? If she didn’t save them, it would be a breach of humanitarianism.

“To hell with humanitarianism, I don’t know it,” she muttered.

With a humph, she turned and walked away.

However, after a few steps, she ultimately turned around and treated everyone’s injuries.

When she returned to the courtyard and saw the door to the pharmacy, she suddenly remembered Zhao Xiyan.

Darn it, she had forgotten him.

She hastened to the pharmacy and entered the space again.

Upon entering the bathroom, seeing Zhao Xiyan still appearing to be deeply asleep, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, her anesthesia needle had not yet worn off.

She immediately took him and the tub back into the pharmacy and began examining Zhao Xiyan’s legs.

At first glance, she was slightly pleased.

Just as she had anticipated, Zhao Xiyan’s left leg, though fallen from a horse, had not suffered any actual physical injury; it had blatantly been sabotaged, so this Panax Notoginseng could definitely heal it.

Upon closer examination, she was shocked.

The medicinal power seemed overly strong; it was definitely not like this before she administered the acupuncture.

Originally she thought such a medicinal bath would require at least ten days, but considering the current effects, Zhao Xiyan’s left leg might be able to stand in just three days.

Could it be because she later moved him to the space?

After a moment of thought, Qi Yue understood.

The mere existence of this space was against the natural order, and besides, she could manipulate the space with her consciousness. If that was the case, what would happen if she directly administered acupuncture to Zhao Xiyan in the space?

This sudden realization thrilled Qi Yue. She excitedly paced back and forth in the pharmacy, constantly adjusting the remaining treatment procedure in her mind.

Zhao Xiyan, sitting in the tub, stiffened; he had been waiting for Qi Yue to notice he had woken up, but he couldn’t let her discover that he had actually awakened much earlier.

Indeed.

One minute before Qi Yue entered the space, he had woken up.

The first time he opened his eyes, he was utterly terrified.

On the opposite wall, he saw his own face, saw his wretched look in the tub.

Then he saw something even more surprising—a sun.

There was a strange window in the room, outside of which hung a sun, its light passing through a curtain similar to silk, warming and comforting him.

He also noticed that the other side of the room seemed to be separated by something transparent, faintly revealing many white bottles and jars, the contents of which were unclear.

Below these items, there was also a huge white object resembling a bathtub.

He was in awe when he heard Qi Yue’s flustered voice, and he immediately understood that this was not the time for him to be awake.

Now, having opened his eyes, he indeed found himself back in the pharmacy.

It was night, and a Luminous Pearl glowed on the table.

He didn’t understand what was happening, but he knew it all had something to do with Qi Yue.

Sadly, he could never see that mysterious room again.

On the next two days, during the medicinal baths, Qi Yue had rendered him unconscious, and when he woke up, he was already back in the pharmacy.

Tonight was the third evening, and just as he woke up, he heard Qi Yue’s urgent voice.

“Zhao Xiyan, try to stand up quick.”
