51: Chapter 51 She's really going to die

"No need, thanks..."

Tang Ruan hurriedly slipped away.

To inquire about someone, one had to go where there were many people.

After walking for nearly two hours, Tang Ruan finally arrived at the Outer City.

The Outer City was bustling, with a chaotic mix of people.

Tigers, rabbits, horses, parrots, lizards, pangolins...

By just looking at the appearance or hearing the names of many beastmen, one could determine their species.

The variety of beastmen once again allowed Tang Ruan to witness the diversity of life.

She plucked up the courage and found a few beastmen who looked relatively kind to ask.

She didn't learn any useful information.

Some were even worse.

As soon as they saw her, they turned and ran.

Because they guessed she was from the Inner City.

There were no Female Beastmen this beautiful in the Outer City.

Beautiful Female Beastmen had all gone to the Middle City to become the Mistresss of the Snake Tribe's Beast Husbands.

And what she was wearing was also the lightweight clothing unique to the Snake Tribe.

Tang Ruan sighed.

They seemed to fear the Snake Tribe and wanted to avoid them at all costs.

If she wanted to get useful information from them, she would have to trade for it.

Her gaze swept over the beastmen on the street.

Suddenly, it landed on a male beastman carrying a child.

The male beastman was scrawny, clearly malnourished.

The child's face was flushed red, and its gait was unsteady; it was clearly sick.

Tang Ruan walked over.

"Big brother, is your cub sick?"

The male beastman immediately and vigilantly picked up the child.

"What are you doing? I'm not selling! Even if my cub dies, I won't sell it for others to eat!"

Tang Ruan was shocked.

Was there also a custom of inter-species cannibalism here?

She hurriedly waved her hands.

"No, you've misunderstood. I just happen to have medicine that can treat this illness."

She took some medicinal herbs from her satchel and handed them to him.

The male beastman looked at Tang Ruan warily.

"I don't have any crystals."

"That's not needed."

"Then why are you being so good to us?" The male beastman still didn't believe her.

Wan Shou City was a place where the strong preyed on the weak.

Beastmen without ability could only wait for death.

He couldn't catch prey, nor could he earn crystals.

He would have to take his cub and be thrown on the street to wait for death.

How could... a Female Beastman this beautiful suddenly run over and want to save them?

He feared he might have fainted from hunger and was daydreaming.

Tang Ruan thought for a moment.

"I do have something I need your help with."

The male beastman was visibly relieved.

Tang Ruan told him about Lang Lie's appearance and characteristics.

"I haven't seen the person you're talking about."

"That's alright. After you go back, hurry and feed the medicine to your cub. If it works, please tell the people around you. As long as you help me inquire about a person named Lang Lie, you can come to the Witch Doctor for free medical treatment."

Tang Ruan walked away after finishing.

The male beastman looked at Tang Ruan's back, half-doubting.

Witch Doctor.

That Female Beastman actually claimed to be a Witch Doctor.

Witch Doctors wouldn't care about low-level beastmen like them!

If they got sick, they were destined to just wait for death.

However, when night came.

He looked at his cub, which was on the verge of death.

He still couldn't help but mix the herbs with water and feed them to the cub.

The next day.

Tang Ruan appeared in the Outer City again.

She suddenly felt several pairs of covetous eyes staring at her on the street.

Beastmen, big and tall, with strange shapes.

The staring made her skin crawl.

She hurriedly took a few steps back.

Suddenly someone shouted: "That's her!"

Tang Ruan turned and ran.

But she was quickly caught up to.

"Witch Doctor, please, save my cub! It's also burning up all over."

"Witch Doctor, my wound has been here for three months and hasn't healed. If this goes on, this leg will be useless."

"Witch Doctor, I have many small bumps growing on my body."

"Alright, alright, everyone speak one by one. Let me state my rules first." Tang Ruan stood on a large tree stump.

"I know, inquire about a person named Lang Lie."

"Over two meters tall."

"It's over two hundred jin!"

"The Supernatural Ability is sparks and lightning..."

Tang Ruan's mouth twitched, "I think I'd better tell everyone again..."

The entire morning.

Tang Ruan wasn't idle for a moment.

For some minor ailments, she treated them easily with her Supernatural Ability.

For those needing medicine, and since she didn't have enough on her, she took the beastmen into the forest to forage.

The forest was full of poisonous things.

At first, the beastmen didn't dare to go in.

But under Tang Ruan's lead.

And thinking that foraging was to treat their own illnesses, not for others.

They took the antidote Tang Ruan gave them and started working together.

The whole day.

A Witch Doctor had come to Wan Shou City.

Who didn't accept crystals, only required help spreading a message.

The news quickly spread from the Outer City to the Inner City.

"It's that Female Beastman you picked up."

She Ming said, kneeling before Yan Qing.

"In one day, she made all the beastmen in the Outer City unite and act according to her requirements.

We tried for several months, but couldn't accomplish that.

They would rather go hungry than obey the Snake Tribe's arrangements."

Yan Qing stood up from the stone chair.

"We occupied their land; it's normal for them to have some resentment."

She Ming snorted: "Their lives before weren't necessarily better than they are now."

The original oppressors of Wan Shou City had already been cleared out by the Snake Tribe.

Those who remained were all honest and simple beastmen.

They could have followed the Snake Tribe and lived a more stable life.

But they always lacked trust in the Snake Tribe.

"What is the name of the beastman she is inquiring about?"

Yan Qing suddenly asked.

"Lang Lie, heard it's her Beast Husband. They got separated."

So she had two Beast Husbands.

To a Female Beastman, a Beast Husband was like an object.

It was a pity if lost, of course.

But like her, spending so much effort, even using her brain.

Utilizing her own Supernatural Ability and the fact that there was no Witch Doctor in the Outer City to spread the message.

She was truly the first.

Yan Qing suddenly felt that this Female Beastman was quite interesting.

When Tang Ruan went, she went empty-handed.

When she returned, she came back with big and small bags.

Even though she refused repeatedly.

She couldn't stop the beastmen's warm hospitality.

As soon as Tang Ruan returned to the cave.

She threw the things on the ground and collapsed onto the soft couch, falling asleep.

Sleeping until the middle of the night.

She suddenly felt someone standing at her bedside, staring at her.

Tang Ruan was startled.

She sat up.

Hu Che had his arms crossed over his chest, looking angry.

"Hmph!"

Tang Ruan also had a trace of sleepiness.

"What's wrong?"

Hu Che's eyes glanced downward.

"That's what I should be asking you! Is my bed more comfortable?"

Tang Ruan only then realized she had slept on the wrong side.

She rubbed her temples.

"Sorry, I was too tired today."

Saying this, she stood up and walked toward her side.

Hu Che moved aside.

Suddenly, a "thump" sound came.

Tang Ruan collapsed directly onto her soft couch.

"Tang Ruan!"

He ran over, his hand touching her forehead, it was burning hot.

"How did you get so sick?"

Hu Che picked up Tang Ruan and rushed out of the cave.

After searching for a long time, he finally found the Witch Doctor of the Inner City.

The Inner City's Witch Doctor was an old male beastman with completely white hair.

Upon hearing about Tang Ruan's healing Supernatural Ability and what had happened over the past few days, he quickly reached a conclusion.

"She has overdrawn her Supernatural Ability. If this continues, she might die from weakness."

"Don't scare me! Isn't it just that she's tired? She'll be fine after resting."

Hu Che said this with his mouth.

But his hands holding Tang Ruan were trembling a little.

How could she be going to die?

Hadn't she been jumping around these past few days?

The Witch Doctor sighed.

"If I'm not mistaken, she must have lost a cub not long ago, causing severe damage to her vitality. Then she encountered sorrow and serious illness. You said she was sick recently but got better the next day; that must have been her using her Supernatural Ability to save herself. But overall, it still consumes the body. She also used a large amount of Supernatural Ability during this time to save two people. All of this is enough to overdraw her body. Coupled with repeated poisoning and a whole day of running around today..."

According to what the Witch Doctor said.

Hu Che suddenly realized that even a strong male beastman would have collapsed after being put through all that.

Could Tang Ruan really be dying...
