A vile, ugly, and fat female? A chaotic scene of six beastly husbands vying for her favor.

Chapter 68 Taking Things Out of Thin Air?

Back in the tribal cave, Xuan, neglecting to apply medicine to his own body, anxiously stayed by Ling Yu's side.

"Yu, don't be afraid, I'll stay with you, okay?"

He held her hand tightly, not daring to blink, afraid that the little female would be frightened if she couldn't see anyone after waking up. His gaze gently traced her eyebrows and eyes, his tenderness almost overflowing.

At the entrance of the cave, the four beastmen, Yue, Lie, Liu, and Li, stood together.

They looked at Ling Yu, who was lying unconscious on the stone bed inside, and their eyes were filled with worry.

Since they formed a bond with Yu, the six of them have almost never appeared together at the same time. They all wished that the female would cling to each other. But this time, they all had the same thought in tacit agreement—that nothing should happen to her.

"How is it?" Wei rushed over.

He had just settled the injured males of the tribe when he arrived here.

Seeing the four of them anxiously waiting outside the cave while Xuan took care of Ling Yu inside, he knew perfectly well that they cared for this female far more than he had imagined, just as much as he did.

"She was frightened by Yang's death and caught a chill. She should be fine after a good rest."

Yue spoke softly, reassuring Wei that there was no need to worry too much.

Last time, he was somewhat jealous of Yu Duiwei's favoritism and ignored him, but now in front of Xuan, they have all become mere supporting characters, giving off a sense of being brothers in misfortune.

Wei nodded thoughtfully, breaking the somewhat awkward silence:
"Alright, you're all tired. Let Xuan keep you company."

He saw that the four of them had more or less injuries, their animal hides were torn, and their flesh was exposed and bleeding. None of them showed any sign of wanting to go back, so he could only try to persuade them.

With such heavy losses suffered by the tribe this time, the key is to recover and regain strength as soon as possible.

The four of them exchanged glances, saying nothing to each other, yet it seemed as if they had said everything.

"Okay, let's go back."

Liu let out a breath and was the first to break free from the atmosphere. The other three also came to their senses and nodded silently.

Everyone knows that dragging this out is pointless.

Perhaps what the female really wanted to see was Xuan, not them.

The five people returned to their respective residences.

After an unknown amount of time, Ling Yu finally began to slowly awaken from her unconsciousness. She struggled to lift her eyelids, her dry lips murmuring softly, "Water..."

Xuan quickly fetched some water, held her in his arms, and fed her little by little.

Having known her for so long, Xuan had never seen her so weak. Most of the water she poured into her mouth spilled out, and she had difficulty swallowing. She was also trembling uncontrollably.

His heart ached terribly, and he wished he could be the one suffering in bed instead.

"Cough cough..." Ling Yu hadn't drunk a few mouthfuls before she choked and coughed again.

Xuan took a sip himself, then leaned down and brought the water to her lips, slowly transferring it into her mouth.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief as he watched her dry lips gradually moisten, her pale face slowly regain some color, and her body gradually warm up.

Ling Yu leaned against Xuan's chest, and with the water's nourishment, she regained some of her energy.

"How are the tribesmen?"

Xuan met Ling Yu's misty eyes and hesitated whether to speak.

Ling Yu gripped his hand tightly, her eyes filled with worry as she pressed him for an answer: "Tell me, I want to know."

Those people risked their lives and bled for her; she should know what happened.

"Some injuries are minor and should be fine after a few days of rest, while others..."

Xuan sighed.

In the battle against the Yang tribe, neither side gained an advantage, and both suffered casualties.

Ling Yu's heart sank. They were all injured while trying to save her. Xuan's unfinished words weighed even heavier on her heart.

Previously, her interactions with the tribe were more about integrating into their community under the pressure of tasks and survival. But this time, she truly felt that she had become one of them.

She, too, was protected with her life.

"Don't overthink it. The Yang tribe almost slaughtered our tribe in the past. There is a deep-seated hatred between the tribes. Even if we don't go this time, this battle is inevitable."

"Moreover, they also suffered a lot of casualties this time."

Xuan comforted her, saying that conflicts between tribes were normal in this world.

Ling Yu's mind was in turmoil, and the guilt made it hard for her to breathe. If she had been more cautious and planned more thoroughly, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out this way.

Just then, she suddenly felt a dampness on her back. She leaned forward slightly to look over and her heart skipped a beat.

"You're injured too!?"

She looked at the deep scratches on Xuan's chest with heartache; the bloodstains had long since blurred.

Just looking at it is incredibly painful.

Xuan gently pulled her back into his arms: "It's okay, I'm not in pain."

How could it not hurt? Ling Yu suppressed the stinging in her nose and subconsciously reached for her medicine in her backpack. Then, something important suddenly came to her mind!
Medicine! The system gave her a highly effective healing medicine!

The injured members of our tribe can use this! This medicine is definitely more effective than the herbs of this era!
Even those whose injuries were originally too severe to be treated may be saved from death because of this!

Ling Yu didn't want to worry about anything anymore. She directly used her mind to take out 50 tubes of special medicine from her backpack. The tubes of ointment appeared in front of her.

Xuan was so shocked by these things that appeared out of nowhere that he almost jumped up, his face full of vigilance: "What are these things?"

"Xuan, please squeeze out the ointment and take it to the injured members of our tribe. Okay?"

Ling Yu looked at Xuan pleadingly, her voice still a little hoarse: "I'll explain all this to you later. Trust me, I would never harm anyone."

Time is of the essence! She couldn't afford to waste time explaining.

Xuan stared in shock at everything before him, the shock far outweighing any doubt in his heart.

If it weren't for the fact that nothing seemed to have changed in the language before him, he would have suspected he was seeing a ghost. How could so many strange things appear out of thin air?
The female showed no surprise whatsoever, as if she had conjured it up herself.

Wait, she conjured it up...

"Xuan! Everyone got injured because of me. These things are excellent medicines for healing wounds! They can not only heal wounds, but also inhibit bacteria, disinfect, and prevent infection. Shall we let everyone use the medicine first?"

Ling Yu said anxiously.

Squeezing out the ointment was her current way of avoiding suspicion from her tribesmen.

As for Xuan's suspicions about her, she would explain later.

Everyone's lives are at stake!

Xuan hesitated for only a few seconds, gave Ling Yu a deep look, and nodded: "Okay, I'll help you."

She went to so much trouble to rescue the females, almost losing her own life in the process. The first thing she did after waking up was to care about her injured tribesmen. There's no way she would have any intention to harm anyone!
"Oh, right, let me apply the medicine for you first."

Ling Yu knelt on the bed, took out a tube of ointment, squeezed it out, and stared at the wound on his chest.

Xuan stepped forward and let the female's fingers get stained with ointment, which she then applied to the wound.

It felt cool and refreshing, and surprisingly, it didn't hurt as much.

When I applied it to my back, the ointment on my chest had already been absorbed, and the scars were noticeably less painful, but itchy, and it seemed like they were healing.

His expression grew increasingly shocked.

This medicine is incredibly miraculous! How did this female manage to do it?
