While Lu Yao and Xiang Liu were sleeping soundly, a familiar voice rang out from outside the cave.

Tianwu: "Lu Yao, Xiang Liu, Nian Nian has a fever, may I come in?"

After being woken up, Xiang Liu and Lu Yao quickly got up.

Lu Yao: "Come in!"

Xiang Liu was particularly unhappy, but when she saw the child in Tian Wu's arms, she was reminded that she would also have a child soon, perhaps a lovely little female, and her heart softened instantly.

Lu Yao: "Bring the child to the bed!"

The child was small, wearing an exquisite fish-skin dress, with a deep scar on her forehead, the wound turned outwards. Although the bleeding had stopped, there were obvious signs of ulceration.

Lu Yao touched the child's cheek: "The child's face is all red from the fever. It must be caused by an infection in the wound."

Tianwu: "Liu Lele is truly vicious. Nian Nian is only three years old. Just because she accidentally bumped into her and dirtied her new dress, she pushed the child away forcefully."

Lu Yao took out a bowl of spiritual spring water, soaked a clean fish skin in the water, and applied it to the child's forehead.

Tianwu: "Her grandmother is still outside the swamp. I didn't dare let her in, for fear of exposing your situation."

Lu Yao: "Let her in. I need an assistant."

Tianwu left the cave and soon brought back an old woman.

At this moment, Lu Yao was sitting on the edge of the bed taking care of Niannian.

Upon seeing Lu Yao, the old woman suddenly knelt down: "Please, Goddess, save my Niannian."

Xiang Liu asked Tian Wu warily, "What did you say to her? Why does she call Yao Yao the Goddess?"

The old woman quickly explained, "Lord Tianwu didn't say anything. Before entering the cave, I didn't even know that the one who could save people was female. Because there are more male shamans, they are physically stronger and can more easily collect rare medicinal herbs."

Lu Yao: "Let's save the child first! Xiang Liu, go and get some more Panax notoginseng to grind into powder."

Xiang Liu took out the Panax notoginseng.

Tianwu: "I'll do it!"

Lu Yao took out a bucket of spiritual spring water from her spatial storage and then instructed Xiang Liu, "Go and boil the gardenia fruits that we processed today into water, and feed it to Niannian later."

Seeing that Xiang Liu hadn't moved, Lu Yao realized that she had been too hasty and had exposed her spatial dimension.

Tianwu: "I swear to the Beast God that I will not reveal a single word of what I saw today."

The old woman knelt down and swore: "I, Wu Xingyun, swear to the Beast God that if I reveal even half a word of this, I will die a horrible death. Whether or not Niannian is successfully rescued, I am willing to follow you for the rest of my life."

Lu Yao: "Grandma Witch, please get up."

The witch: "What can I do?"

Lu Yao: "Now we need to clean the rotten flesh from Niannian's wound and reapply the medicine."

The witch took out an exquisite bone knife from her clothes. It was made from an animal claw and was usually used to cut herbs.

The old witch said, "Let me do it!" and stepped forward to clean Nian Nian's wounds.

Lu Yao quickly stepped forward to stop her: "The bone knife cannot be used directly. It must be sterilized by burning it over a fire first, otherwise it will cause reinfection."

The old witch quickly heated the bone knife with fire and then came to Nian Nian's side.

The bone knife was curved and very sharp, and the witch used it very skillfully, quickly cleaning away the rotten flesh, but fresh blood seeped from the wound.

Lu Yao: "Is the Panax notoginseng powder ready? Bring it over quickly, I need to apply medicine to Niannian."

Tianwu quickly brought over a small plate of Panax notoginseng powder and handed it to Lu Yao.

After Lu Yao applied the Panax notoginseng powder to Niannian, the bleeding stopped quickly.

Xiang Liu brought over the boiled gardenia water, and Lu Yao fed some to Niannian with a small spoon.

Xiang Liu: "I'll dig out another stone chamber inside the cave. When the cold season comes, the bed will be very cold as it faces the cave entrance."

Tianwu: "I'm going out hunting, so Lu Yao needs to eat something good to nourish her body."

Grandma Wu: "We are so sorry for disturbing your rest. I will carry Niannian out of bed when she wakes up."

Lu Yao: "No need, we can just make a new bed after dawn."

After a night, Niannian's fever subsided, and she woke up.

Lu Yao: "Niannian is fine now, she'll get better after resting for a while."

The old witch knelt down and bowed to Lu Yao, saying, "Thank you, Goddess!"

Niannian: "So you are the goddess, you are so beautiful."

Granny Wu: "Niannian, quickly swear an oath that you will not reveal the Goddess's secrets and that you will be loyal to the Goddess for life."

Lu Yao: "The child is so young, there's no need for an oath!"

Niannian, however, said in a serious tone, "I swear to the Beast God that I will be loyal to the Goddess for life and will not go out and talk nonsense, otherwise I will never have any pretty clothes to wear in this life."

Lu Yao was amused by Niannian's words.
