222: Chapter 222 Tormented all night

After the two finished eating, the sky outside had completely darkened.

Jin Yi moved stones and branches from nearby, sealing the cave entrance tightly, leaving only a few narrow gaps for air.

After doing all this, he turned to Bai Wanwan.

The Female was already so tired that she had closed her eyes, and the moonlight filtering through the cracks in the stones happened to shine on her face.

It made her complexion appear pale and bloodless.

She was curled into a ball, hugging her knees, looking somewhat fragile at this moment.

Jin Yi fully understood that an ordinary Female encountering these things would probably have been crying and screaming in fright in the forest.

But this Female named Bai Wanwan had been trying to control her emotions until now.

Jin Yi sighed, and leaning against the wall not far from her, he closed his eyes.

He had to rest and have enough stamina; only then would their chances of survival be greater.

Jin Yi closed his eyes, but couldn't fall asleep.

He didn't know how long passed, but just as his consciousness began to blur, a faint groan startled him from his semi-slumber.

Jin Yi immediately opened his eyes and looked across.

Bai Wanwan was curled into a ball, her body seemingly trembling continuously.

"Bai Wanwan?" He moved closer to her, reaching out to touch her forehead, then frowned tightly. Her skin was burning hot.

fever!

Jin Yi's heart sank.

For Females, fever is an extremely dangerous condition.

Their physiques are much weaker than Males, and in the wild with a lack of medicine, a fever can be fatal.

In her unconscious state, Bai Wanwan felt cold one moment and hot the next.

"Xin Feng, where are you?"

"Zhu Xiu, you must return safely."

"Yan Lie... I know you can't bear to leave me, you'll definitely come back."

Jin Yi leaned closer and happened to hear Bai Wanwan's murmuring.

"Bai Wanwan, wake up..."

If she could wake up from the fever, it would be a bit better.

But he called several times, and Bai Wanwan showed no reaction, still mumbling continuously...

Jin Yi gritted his teeth and laid Bai Wanwan flat.

When he came out, he had promised his Father Beast that he would bring Bai Wanwan back safely.

Her Beast Husband's sacrifice saved not only Bai Wanwan but also him.

No matter what, Jin Yi had to take good care of Bai Wanwan.

fever is a common illness among Cubs and Females.

Usually, with the care of the Clan Witch, Females and Cubs can safely recover.

But this was the wild; he had to find Silverleaf Herb for Bai Wanwan to have a chance to get through this night safely.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, his hand was suddenly grabbed by the Female, "Don't go, don't leave."

"You have a fever; I need to go out and find Silverleaf Herb for you."

Bai Wanwan couldn't hear what he was saying at all; she was completely caught in a nightmare, just clutching him and babbling nonsense.

He tried to pull his hand away, but unexpectedly, the seemingly thin and small Female had great strength.

He pulled once but couldn't free himself.

"Let go of my hand, I'll be quick."

Although he knew Bai Wanwan probably couldn't hear him, he patiently finished speaking before slowly prying open her fingers.

Bai Wanwan was still lying on the ground, murmuring.

Jin Yi, however, didn't look back and walked quickly towards the cave entrance.

Only by being quick would the Female be safe.

He carefully moved a few stones, squeezed out of the cave, and then quickly restored the opening.

The damp, cold night wind blew into his face, and Jin Yi's pupils dilated to their maximum, adapting to the dark environment.

He pricked up his ears, catching every sound in the forest.

Silverleaf Herb was everywhere in the forest, but the darkness of the night would affect his vision.

He moved carefully, lightening the sound of each step, slowly moving through the forest.

After searching back and forth for a long time, he finally found it beneath a rock wall.

Several clumps of silvery-white leaves glowed faintly in the moonlight.

Jin Yi agilely approached and quickly picked the Silverleaf Herb.

With the Silverleaf Herb in hand, Jin Yi dared not delay for a moment.

This place was already some distance from their hidden cave.

He quickly turned around, and the Golden Lion's figure darted through the dark forest, returning to the cave entrance at the fastest speed.

Seeing the intact cave entrance, Jin Yi breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He transformed into human form, removed the stones from the cave entrance, and slipped inside.

After sealing the cave entrance, Jin Yi hurried to Bai Wanwan's side.

At this moment, Bai Wanwan's condition was worse; her whole body was burning hot, her mouth was finally quiet, but she had completely lost consciousness.

Jin Yi immediately crushed the Silverleaf Herb and squeezed out its juice. He propped up Bai Wanwan's head, trying to make her drink the medicinal liquid, but her teeth were clenched, and the liquid flowed down the corners of her mouth.

Jin Yi had no choice but to call out to her, "Bai Wanwan... open your mouth, drink the Silverleaf Herb juice, and you'll feel better."

But Bai Wanwan didn't listen at all, biting her lips tightly, refusing to open her mouth.

After struggling back and forth for a long time, still unable to make her drink a significant amount of Silverleaf Herb juice, a flicker of anger crossed Jin Yi's eyes.

He threw the Silverleaf Herb into his mouth, chewed it a few times, then lowered his head and pressed his lips against hers, forcefully trying to pry open her lips and teeth.

Finally, her teeth loosened, and Jin Yi passed the medicinal juice to her.

The Clan Witch had said that the faster a bowlful of Silverleaf Herb juice was fed, the quicker the fever would subside.

He picked up all the Silverleaf Herb, continuously chewing it and feeding it to her.

After the very last leaf was fed, Jin Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

He had no other thoughts in his mind, only wanting the Female to get better quickly.

Just as he was about to move his lips away, Bai Wanwan suddenly raised her hand, wrapped it around his neck, and began to kiss him back.

Jin Yi froze, a strange sensation like an electric current shooting through his entire body.

Even though he had pressed his lips against hers countless times while feeding her medicine just moments ago, the sensation now became incredibly clear.

The Female's lips were a hundred times softer than he imagined, with the dry warmth characteristic of a high fever.

But he quickly sobered up, swiftly pulling the Female away from his embrace.

"Bai Wanwan..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Bai Wanwan slump softly against the wall and slide down.

He quickly reached out his arm to protect her, preventing her from falling onto the hard ground.

Bai Wanwan's breathing was heavy; she seemed completely unaware of what she had just done.

Jin Yi took a shallow breath, closed his eyes, and gently laid her down again.

The cave was narrow, and even though he had intentionally kept some distance from her, the Female's presence next to him made it impossible to ignore.

He forced himself to close his eyes again.

As he slept, the Female rolled over to his side.

"Bai Wanwan, move over a bit."

"Cold..."

Bai Wanwan unconsciously moved closer to the source of warmth.

Jin Yi looked at the approaching Female and instinctively wanted to push her away.

But his hand had already touched her arm, and in the end, he didn't use force.

He made no other moves, just let her lie next to him.

Perhaps with a heat source nearby, the sick Bai Wanwan slowly began to feel more comfortable and finally slept soundly.

Jin Yi, however, was tormented all night, half-asleep and half-awake...
