Huanyan returned to the house where Momo lived. He placed the antidote under the noses of the sleeping orcs and let them smell it. Then he went back into the house to rest. Not long after, the orcs outside the house woke up slowly.

The three-striped beastman rubbed his brows and said, "What happened? Why did I fall asleep?"

He looked at the orcs around him. They all woke up with dazed faces. He couldn't help but ask, "It turns out it's not just me. How come everyone fell asleep?"

A four-striped beastman yawned continuously. After realizing he had fallen asleep, he thought for a moment and explained, "Maybe I was too tired these past few days. Now I have to guard this guy all night long. I couldn't help but fall asleep."

The three-striped orc felt suspicious: "We take turns on night patrol every once in a while, and we're used to it. When we need to rest at night, we take turns. But tonight, we actually fell asleep together. This is too weird."

After they finished speaking, they looked at each other, suspecting that it was the lion orc in the house who was secretly doing something wrong. They pushed open the door, stood at the door and glanced inside, only to see that the lion orc was already asleep, and Momo was lying on the table beside him.

An orc rejoiced: "This guy is still here. It seems that we have been too tired these days. We couldn't help but feel sleepy after guarding him at night."

Although they felt strange, the lion orcs were sleeping peacefully in the house and there was nothing strange about it. They could only convince themselves that they fell asleep collectively due to excessive fatigue.

After confirming that the lion orc was still in the room, the orcs closed the door and quietly stood guard at the entrance. This time, they were even more serious...

the next day.

After Huanyan washed up, Momo called in the beast shaman from the Red Eagle Tribe to treat his wounds and change the dressings. He leaned back on the bed to rest, while Momo propped up her head with both hands, tilted her head and looked at him with a smile: "Amo, after using the magic medicine Sister Bai gave you, your wounds have healed very quickly, and the poison from the mutant beast has been suppressed, so they haven't continued to rot and fester."

Huanyan closed her eyes tightly, listening quietly to Momo saying, "The beast wizard just came to check on your injuries. He said that your poison has weakened, so there's no need for Sister Bai to use her purification powers to help you. The beast wizard has a way to remove it, but she's just missing some herbs."

At this point, Huanyan slowly opened his eyes, a red light flashed in his eyes, he glanced at his wrist, a ray of white light flickered, the power in the bracelet surged, and the identity of another snake beast was about to emerge,

He couldn't show a different side in front of this female. He suppressed his strength and the red light in his eyes faded away.

Momo was immersed in her own world, and was talking to Huanyan seriously about what Shouwu had asked her to do. She did not notice the changes in Huanyan. She glanced at Huanyan and saw that he was frowning, and thought that he was worried about his injury.

Momo comforted her, "Don't worry, Huanyan. Father has to go to the Fox Clan Mountains for the next two days. I've asked him to find the missing herbs for us on his way back. Once we have them, we'll be able to remove the poison from you."

Momo told Huanyan the situation. Huanyan didn't look surprised or happy. He was thinking about other things, and his expression was flat and a little unhappy: "Okay."

He had released this poison gas intentionally. He could detoxify it at any time he wanted. He did it on purpose just to enter the Beast City.

"Thank you." He looked at Momo. Her eyes were full of him. His figure was reflected in her eyes. Facing Momo's affectionate eyes, Huanyan felt a little guilty. He quickly lowered his eyes and felt a little at a loss.

Huanyan's brows were furrowed, and she looked a little depressed. Momo noticed it immediately. She grabbed Huanyan's hand and asked, "Amo, why do you look unhappy? Is your wound hurting again?"

Huanyan could only perfunctorily say: "Yeah, it hurts a little."

Momo looked at him anxiously: "Where does it hurt? Let me see?"

Momo said as she was about to take off Huanyan's clothes to check his wound. Huanyan quickly dodged in panic, his entire ear red. He pressed Momo's hand and immediately refused, "I'm fine, I just need to rest for a while."

He quickly pulled his clothes tighter, fearing that Momo would tear his clothes off. He looked back at Momo to check her mood changes.

The power of the soul-bewitching artifact was implanted in Momo's body, and her eyes were "blinded" so that she could not see through her own heart. Under the influence of this power, Momo was full of love for him, and her desires were magnified, and her behavior became more and more bold.

Whenever she had the chance, she wanted to make physical contact with him, but he had no feelings for Momo. All he wanted was to quickly reach Bai Susu and gather the power of the artifact.

Huanyan was stunned, not knowing what he was thinking. Momo was afraid that he was in too much pain, so she moved closer to him and said softly, "Amo, just let me take a look at your injuries, okay?"

She always had a violent temper in her heart, but Amo was the orc he liked, so in front of him, she suppressed this emotion and was extremely gentle when she spoke.

Huanyan felt no emotion when he heard Momo calling him A-Mo. The name A-Mo was a name he made up at random in order to enter the Beast City.

He came back to his senses: "Don't worry, I'm fine now."

"Momo, don't touch me next time." He gently brushed Momo's hand away, subconsciously refusing any contact with Momo.

Momo noticed that he was keeping his distance from her, and her confusion and irritation suddenly erupted. She felt a little aggrieved and shouted angrily, "Amo, what are you doing? Why are you pushing my hand away? Are you deliberately keeping your distance from me?"

Momo asked three questions in a row, her eyes full of anger. Huanyan was about to explain when Momo roared again: "Amo, you wanted to enter the Beast City. I brought you in regardless of everything. In order to make you stay, I didn't hesitate to confront my father and Brother Jin."

"You promised me that you would become my partner after your injury healed. If that's the case, what's wrong with me touching you? Why are you rejecting me?"

"You..." Huanyan was stunned. Under the influence of the power of the soul-bewitching artifact, Momo's temperament changed drastically, and some of her inner desires and emotions were magnified. She noticed his deliberate avoidance and instantly vented all her dissatisfaction.

He still needed Momo, and couldn't let things get too awkward with her. Huanyan thought for a moment, then held Momo's hand and explained, "Momo, I'm sorry. I didn't consider your feelings."

"I do this to protect you. I have no status in Beast City. In everyone's eyes, I am a suspect and an alien. I keep my distance from you because I'm afraid your reputation will be affected, and I'm afraid you'll be infected with the poisonous gas of this mutant beast."

Huanyan lowered his head in front of Momo, looking guilty and aggrieved. After Momo listened to his explanation, she realized that he did this for her own good.

She had wrongly blamed him.

Momo's expression changed instantly. She felt a little guilty and remorseful. She didn't know what happened in the past two days. Her mood was so erratic that she would explode quickly when encountering something unpleasant. She was not like this before.

She couldn't suppress her violent emotions at all, and would get angry and impulsive at the slightest provocation...
