âMaster, why do you always ask me to find such uncreative things?â Cute Little Baby said unhappily.
Thinking back to the days when it was managing the hanging gardens, it planted the worldâs most beautiful Spiritual Flowers and Spiritual Trees.
The whole garden was dense with Spiritual Power and floral fragrance. It was such an enjoyable time!
âJust do as I say, I donât have much Holy Power left. If you continue to talk nonsense and waste my time, believe me when I say Iâm going to seal you inside the Pig-out Herb patch,â Yun Jiuge threatened.
âI donât want to go to that disgusting place.â This kind of object eaten by human-beast hybrids would simply dumb it down.
Cute Little Baby dared not say more. It quickly found something that fitted Yun Jiugeâs requirements, and then swiftly planted it.
When Yun Jiuge opened her eyes, five stems of a white, soft plant, which looked like sheepâs intestine appeared in her hands.
She pinched the heads of the five stems of Sheepâs Intestine Herb into pointed shapes and then merged the other ends together.
âLittle ones, Iâll insert this sharp point into your hands in a while, but you donât have to be afraid. Itâs used for your treatment and wonât hurt very much,â Yun Jiuge gently told the young human-snake hybrids.
The young human-snake hybrids did not make a sound, but she could see how nervous they were from their taut and straight tail tips.
âGood children, listen and behave. Thereâll be meat patties for you to eat after the treatment,â said Yun Jiuge, using her trump card.
The young human-snake hybridsâ eyes lit up. They immediately scrambled to be the first to extend their arms, calling out, âTake mine, take mine.â To them, there was nothing more terrible than hunger.
âAll of you, lie down first,â Yun Jiuge instructed. She arranged the five young human-snake hybridsâ heads to face inward in a circle. Then she pierced the tips of the five tubes into the young human-snake hybridsâ blood vessels. Next, she called Feifei to come over.
âCan you give it a try to see if you can come into contact with the Death Energy in their bodies in this way?â asked Yun Jiuge as she tied the big end to the top of Feifeiâs black wing.
âYes, I can, but itâs a little slow,â replied Feifei. It stopped at a branch above the heads of the young human-snake hybrids and began to slowly fan its wings.
Streams of black color flowed from the young human-snake hybridsâ bodies through the tubes to Feifeiâs shoulder, and then transformed into Life Energy which descended on their bodies.
The five young human-snake hybridsâ deathly pale skin slowly gained a little flush and the dull snake tails started showing some luster.
âVery good! Keep going, Feifei!â Yun Jiuge yelled out to Feifei.
Feifei ignored her and continued to maintain the momentum.
The black color inside of these young human-snake hybrids was very viscous. Feifei could not treat it the same way as it did with the land, brandishing at will and flapping its wings freely. It had to be precise with the rhythm.
Yun Jiuge saw how serious Feifei was and did not dare to disturb it. She quietly kept watch at the side.
She saw that the scales on the five young human-snake hybridsâ tails became brighter and brighter as if they had been oiled. They exuded a strong vitality.
âMiss Yun, are these little ones saved?â Meng asked excitedly and nervously.
âIâm just drawing out the Death Energy from their bodies. I canât cure them permanently yet. But rest assured that the method for a complete cure isnât too far away,â Yun Jiuge explained, afraid that Meng would give up on these young human-snake hybrids.
âWell, in that case, I thank you on behalf of them first,â said Meng with a nod. The tribe was currently willing to raise these young human-snake hybrids because they were still small. Once they became fully grown, they would have to be able to feed themselves. Otherwise, if they were too weak, they would definitely die without a doubt.
At this time, Aâze turned around from the back and cheerfully said to Yun Jiuge, âMiss Yun, the Rice Herb is cooked. It smells heavenly. Will I be full after eating a bowlful?â Heaven knew how long he had not experienced the feeling of a full stomach.
âMiss Yun, please have a taste,â said Advisor Jun, who came over with a clean stone bowl containing pale yellow rice that gave off a faint aroma. Anyone would think that it must be unbelievably delicious with a sniff.
Yun Jiuge tasted a mouthful. The rice was a little coarse and more difficult to chew. Although there was no Spiritual Power when swallowed into the stomach, it still had a feeling of satiety.
But with her current appetite, she was full from eating a tiny half bowl. She could not throw away the rest, so she handed it directly to Zi Shang.
Zi Shang silently took it and poured it all into his mouth.
âMiss Yun, can the Rice Herb be grown at our Eagle Cliff?â Aâze asked impatiently.
The Pig-out Herb was really easy to plant and filling. It would be wonderful if they could fully expand it in their Eagle Cliff because many of their membersâ companions were herbivores.
He even thought that with this source of food at Eagle Cliff, the Eagle Clan members would not be afraid to live as bachelors.
âIt can be planted at your Eagle Cliff. Just scatter toward the rock wall. But itâs not easy to harvest!â Yun Jiuge had realized that the Pig-out Herbâs roots were particularly tough, even piercing through stones. It would not be a problem to plant it in the rock wall.
âThatâs not a problem. As long as you help us grow it, weâll think of ways to solve the other problems on our own,â Advisor Jun hurriedly stated their stance at the side.
As long as there was foodstuffs, harvesting was the least of their problems. They would even pluck the food out one by one if they had to.
âVery well, Iâll help you grow it when I get back to Eagle Cliff,â Yun Jiuge agreed with a nod. Even if there was no Aâdai, seeing how the Eagle Clan had not thrown in their lot with Nangong Yue, it was worth her while to cultivate them.
âIn that case, Iâll send someone back to Eagle Cliff, no, Iâd better personally return. Aâze, stay here to watch over Miss Yun,â instructed Advisor Jun. When it came to foodstuffs, Advisor Jun felt that it was not reliable to send anyone. It was better that he personally made the trip.
âGo ahead. Iâm here,â said Aâze, thumping his chest.
âMeng, take some Rice Herbs and Potato Herbs for them to bring back,â Yun Jiuge said to Meng.
âIâll go prepare them now,â replied Meng as he took an oversized brown leather bag and kept stuffing Rice Herbs and Potato Herbs inside.
âEnough, enough. I canât carry it if itâs too heavy,â Advisor Jun hurriedly stopped him. Anyway, Miss Yun would also head to their Eagle Cliff to help plant them. There was no need to appear desperately hungry.
âOkay, take it!â said Meng as he handed the leather bag over.
Although he was feeling pain inside, his heart felt much comforted when he turned around to look at the large swathe of Pig-out Herbs.
Advisor Jun took the leather bag and flapped his wings to fly toward Eagle Cliff.
He initially wanted to go directly over to his grandfatherâs side but found many people surrounded in front of Aâguâs nest, sighing in despair.
Aâguâs weeping cries rang out faintly, âGuoâer, Guoâer, wake up quickly.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhatâs the matter?â Advisor Jun flew over in a hurry.
âAâguâs companion has fainted. Heâs been calling for a long time to no avail,â a human-eagle hybrid replied.
âIâll take a look.â Advisor Jun quickly threw the bag into the corner and then strode in.
Aâguâs nest was exceptionally clean and neatly maintained.
At this time, a petite young woman from the Rabbit Clan was lying on the grass-covered ground. Her thin little body looked so small and huddled up.
Her partner, Aâgu, hugged her tightly and sobbed in gasps.
âAâgu, whatâs wrong with Guoâer?â Advisor Jun asked.
âI donât know. She suddenly fainted. Sheâs not waking up no matter how I try to wake her. Advisor Jun, you know Miss Yun who knows how to give treatment. Can you invite her over to have a look at Guoâer?â Aâgu pleaded.
âLet go of her first for me to have a look,â Advisor Jun said in a heavy voice.
Aâgu hurriedly lay Guoâer flat.
Guoâerâs long ears drooped down listlessly. Her face was sallow, and her eyes were closed. She was painfully thin, and her limbs were slight. But her abdomen was slightly bulging. She appeared as if she were pregnant.
