The Beast King's Little Wife

"boom……"

"You woman..."

Before the man could react, Lin Dujuan swiftly extended her leg, delivering a vicious kick. She then took a few steps back and coldly snorted, "Don't think you're some piece of meat that everyone loves. I don't care. In my eyes, even if you are meat, you're rotten meat."

Clutching his stomach, huffing and puffing, Ah Geda looked up at the proud figure that had left, and slowly straightened up.

"Hmm, it does have a smell."

However, he immediately frowned, "But it's a bit too spicy."

Back at their campsite, Lin Dujuan didn't tell anyone about it.

I walked too much during the day and I'm so sleepy right now.

Lying down with A-Ye, Lin Dujuan turned her head and asked, "A-Ye, did I do anything unusual during the ritual?"

A-Ye looked at her strangely. "Really? How come I didn't know? Aren't you and I dancing the sacrificial dance together?"

Looking at A-Ye's innocent expression, Lin Dujuan's heart sank lower and lower.

She still didn't know what Huang Lili meant by "dealing with A Ye." However, judging from A Ye's current state, it was clear that she didn't remember the sacrificial ceremony.

Undeterred, she tentatively asked again.

"Exactly, during the sacrificial ceremony, didn't you really think there was anything wrong with me?"

A-Ye chuckled. Lowering her voice, she said, "I'm saying, do you think you need to act differently to be normal?"

Well, okay, this woman really didn't know her situation at the time.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Deep down, he also harbored a deep sense of dread towards Huang Lili.

"It seems that Huang Lili has the ability to bewitch, and even erase, people's memories. What if this were done to me, or to Huya and the others?"

Thinking of this, Lin Dujuan opened her eyes in fright.

This fact is terrifying.

Modern people even talk about hypnosis. But what method did Huang Lili use? It could actually steal a person's memories.

If such an answer were given to an enemy, how terrifying would that be?

Thinking of this, Lin Dujuan became secretly wary.

A good night's sleep.

The next day, just like the first day, we started moving forward again.

To Lin Dujuan's surprise, there was a slightly shy-looking man among the group.

The reason they noticed him was because this man would pick medicinal herbs wherever he went.

"That person is Wuguo, the apprentice of the witch doctor. You haven't met the witch doctor, have you? He's been researching new medicines lately. He's... a very frightening person, cold and unapproachable. If you disturb him while he's researching witch medicines, he'll fly into a rage."

They wouldn't listen to your symptoms; they'd just drag you out of the hospital. That shy fellow, however, was always willing to be a herb gatherer for the witch doctor.

As A-Ye explained, Lin Dujuan looked at the man bending down to pick the fruit with a complicated expression. She actually knew this man. It was him—the one who had rushed out of the grass when she went to find some wood for work. Lin Dujuan wouldn't be mistaken about that.

During this trip, Wu Baiguo's leather skirt was tugged several times. The conspicuous white breasts made it impossible for her not to recognize them.

"This guy only knows some basic pharmacology. It seems his master isn't all that great after all?"

Lin Dujuan scoffed, not because she disrespected skilled workers, but because the medicinal herbs harvested from this ginkgo tree were all very common.

Ah Ye and Ah Hua were clearly surprised to hear this.

"Oh my god, Lin Dujuan, you can't talk about Wu Lengyang like that. If he finds out you look down on people like this, he won't treat you anymore. This is too dangerous. Stop it right now."

Lin Dujuan shrugged. "I'm just stating the facts. Why can't I say it? What an old-fashioned old man Wu Lengyang must be."

When Ah Ye and Ah Hua heard the old man's name, they both looked at her with strange eyes.

"Hmph, I hate old-fashioned men the most. They're so stubborn and think they're so senior."

Ah Ye coughed. "Well, you'll see what kind of person he is later. He's a rigid old man. Hmm, not very easy to get along with."

Ahua also looked helpless. Wu Baiguo, who was still bending over picking herbs, could no longer bear the insults directed at her master by this group of women.

He turned around and protested angrily, "Leng Yang is the most powerful. You will be punished by the Witch God for looking down on him like this."

"Witch God!" What the hell? But thinking about the things in this world that she didn't understand, Lin Dujuan swallowed the words back.

"Half-sphere, let me tell you, anyone with even a little knowledge knows how to harvest these herbs. But I, on the other hand, treat it like the most sacred thing I can do. Do you know how to prepare medicine? Do you know how to process these herbs? I see you just harvest them and then haphazardly dry them, or simply leave them in places with water. Is that really a good way to preserve them?"

Wu Baiguo was stunned. "Preservation, isn't that how it's always done?"

Lin Dujuan shook her head. "That's why I said your master is a complete scoundrel. He has no practical medical skills at all and just fools people. After the medicinal herbs are harvested, they need to go through several processing steps, such as roasting and baking. Let me give you an example. Take this herb in your hand, for instance. After we dig it up, we don't need to take the whole plant back. Instead, we should wash its roots and stems thoroughly, then slice them and use a special baking technique to preserve its medicinal properties. Drying it also makes it more durable. Only in this way can we bring out the maximum efficacy of its medicinal properties."

Originally, everyone just listened casually. But now they felt that what the female said seemed to make some sense.

For a moment, everyone present was stunned.

Tiger Tooth was most proud. He was incredibly proud to see his wife render the witch doctor sect speechless.

It's all because Wu Lengyang is usually too arrogant and haughty; no one in the village dares to offend him, and he's also very difficult to get along with...

As Lin Dujuan explained, she quickly processed some of the medicinal herbs that Wu Baiguo had gathered.

Cut the medicinal root into slices.

The herbs were dried separately.

Some even remove some of the skin before harvesting the fruit inside.

Moreover, Lin Dujuan also collected a lot of medicinal herbs along the way up the mountain.

"This is mainly used to regulate and soothe the flow of Qi. It also has anti-inflammatory properties. As a team, if you see this, it's best to pick as much as possible. I'll prepare some medicinal powder for you to treat wounds later."

Wu Baiguo followed her the whole way, listening to her incessant chatter. His entire mind was completely overwhelmed.

You have to understand, what Lin Dujuan is doing now is something only a witch doctor could do.

He knew that some of the medicinal herbs were the right ones.

But there are some that he has never even heard of.

Not only him, but he suspected that even his master, Wu Lengyang, had never heard of such a woman. Did she know how to farm or how to process medicinal herbs?

Actually, Lin Dujuan could proudly tell him that she was just a doggerelist...
