Chapter 228
QT Second Female Lead’s Counter Attack: Ch 228 Beast Era (9.9)
What happened to ‘female lead is coming a month later’? Why was she here so early?
Feeling as if she had been scammed, XunMi quickly stood up and appeared in front of the beast man.
“Please allow me to take a look.” There seemed to be something wrong with the female lead. Why was she so pale?
Mu Yan was just about to take the beautiful female he had found to see uncle Tyre when he was stopped. He turned to find an astonishingly stunning female. But he had never seen this person before – when did this kind of female join their tribe?
“Mi, what’s wrong?” Yuan He stepped forward too. He had been cooking meat for Mi when Mi ran off. He left everything there and quickly followed after her, worried about Mi in her new surroundings.
“Yuan He, there’s something wrong with this female. She seems to have…been poisoned.” Xun Mi said softly. She reached out to check her pulse. But before she could touch the female lead’s hand, the male lead dodged away.
XunMi’s hand was left awkwardly hanging in midair. She blinked before helplessly placing her hand back to her side. She already had such a warm image and she had no ill-will. So why did this male lead have no trust in her?
Yuan He saw Mi lower her head, causing his heart to ache. He immediately turned to My Yan. “Mu Yan, what are you doing? Mi is only trying to help that female. If she’s poisoned, don’t you want to help save her?”
Jia and the others were also unhappy. How dare he treat XunMi like that? XunMi had run out in such a rush. That must mean that this injured female was important.
“Mu Yan, this is XunMi. She came back with us. She is a very powerful shaman. You should let her have a look at the female you’re holding.” Jacob introduced. To be honest, their group didn’t really like Mu Yan. He wa too arrogant and didnt care about many people. He thought that it was only because Yuan He was the tribe leader’s son that he was stronger than him. He treated the rest of the tribe as if they were below him. But everyone knew that he still ultimately had a good heart, giving them reason to still support him.
But Mu Yan usually took their support for granted: his father had been killed by beasts while protecting the tribe. His mother had died while protecting the tribe leader’s wife. But in the end, both his mother and the tribe leader’s wife were unable to escape an ambush of beasts twenty years ago.
Mu Yan furrowed his brows, his voice cold. “How am I supposed to trust her?”
“You!” Jacob wanted to retort but was held back by Yuan He.
“Mu Yan, are you looking for trouble?” Yuan He’s eyes darkened, as if preparing for a fight. XunMi quickly grasped Yuan He’s hand. She really wasn’t here to start a fight.
“Yuan He, don’t be impulsive. He’s just worried about this female. Don’t worry.” She turned to Mu Yan. “I apologize for sticking my head into your business. Hurry and take her to the shaman. She seems to have been poisoned. Her face is too pale, you…” XunMi shut her mouth before finishing her sentence.
The male lead had an expression that read ‘why are you still here?’, making her almost immediately break her gentle image.
My god, if it not because you are the male lead, I would have ousted you already. Holding back an outburst, she pulled Yuan He and Jacob back to make way for Mu Yan. She might as well allow the female lead to be poisoned to death. That way she wouldn’t even need to go through all this extra trouble to complete her mission.
Even though she was muttering in her heart, XunMi wasn’t actually able to just let the innocent female lead die. Especially when she had the ability to save her. She took a deep breath. She really must have owed the world consciousness in her past life.
“Mi, don’t feel disheartened. Mu Yan is just like this. Just ignore him.” Yuan He carefully patted XunMi’s head. Since noticing that XunMi had never dodged away from his affections, he began a quiet mission to take larger advantages. His goal was to have XunMi become habituated with his presence in the shortest amount of time possible. Then, during the Banquet, they’ll become mates.
XunMi shook her head. “I’m not upset. I’m just thinking about that female’s situation. Her complexion was off. I originally wanted to check if she had been poisoned.” She pursed her lips. XunMi turned back and grabbed Yuan He’s hand and spoke quickly. “Yuan He, let’s go and take a look. Alright? I’m very worried about her. I won’t feel at peace until I know for sure that she’s fine.”
What could Yuan He say? He of course wouldn’t refuse her.
However, Jacob and the rest of the others had developed dissatisfaction towards Mu Yan. XunMi was great, Mu Yan was an asshole.
The other beastmen and females that witnessed the scene had complicated emotions. If it were up to them to decide, they would definitely have chosen to see the shaman Tyre first. But they were still didn’t condone Mu Yan’s actions. That female had only been acting out of good intentions. She hadn’t stepped out of line. Mu Yan had gone too far in treating her like that. How could he have her lose face?
After hearing XunMi’s words, most of the onlookers were now on XunMi’s side. Such an understanding, warm and kind female. She was even possibly an angel!
Because the insides of the caves were too dark in the night, medical treatment took place within one of the tents near the public square. Inside was a bright bonfire, illuminating light.
When Mu Yan arrived carrying the female lead, shaman Tyre had already prepared his instruments. Since a messenger had been sent to notify him earlier, Tyre reacted quickly and directed Mu Yan to bring the female to the simple wooden bed. After Tyre inspected the female, his brows furrowed tightly. He reinspected before finalizing his diagnosis.
“She was bitten by a viper from the Snake clan. The poison has already spread. I can’t save her. We can only go see if the Snake clan has any treatment methods.” There were far too many cases of those that had lost their lives after a bite from a venomous snake. For a moment, silence filled the room.
Hidden, XunMi also furrowed her brows. She felt like the female lead wasn’t in this condition because of a snake bite. There was no way it was that simple.
Mu Yan couldn’ accept this explanation. He had finally found a female that made his heart beat faster. How could this happen? The Beast God could not be so cruel.
He turned, wanting to rush to the Snake clan to see if they had an antidote. He stopped when he saw that glowing female outside and exploded, “It’s all your fault. If you hadn’t stopped me, she wouldn’t have ended up like this!”
