Chapter 452: Bottom Line

Huanhuan could tolerate Sang Ye’s coldness, and she could also accept his identity as a demon.

But she would never tolerate him hurting her family.

That was her bottom line.

Sang Ye was stunned on the spot for a long time.

Huanhuan looked at him. “The rock mountain is your home. No matter how far you go or how many wrong things you’ve done, you can go back anytime you want. But you can’t hurt your family.”

Sang Ye said nothing.

“Even if you’re really unhappy, you can come at the adults directly. But Big Goody is just a child. You watched her grow up!”

Sang Ye turned his head and looked at Shuang Yin.

Huanhuan said, “You have to apologize to her.”

Sang Ye looked away. “I’ve forgotten her.”

Huanhuan looked at his indifferent face, and her heart suddenly turned cold.

“You’d better pray you never remember.”

With that, she turned and walked away.

Sang Ye was still standing there, watching her leave.

Beasts usually didn’t face their enemies with their backs because they could be easily ambushed.

However, Sang Ye did not want to take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

He was still thinking about what she had just said.

After taking a few large steps, the system suddenly reminded her, “Silly daughter, don’t just focus on teaching him a lesson. Your daughter is still poisoned. You have to find the antidote for her!”

Sang Ye’s snake venom could only be detoxified with his blood.

Huanhuan immediately stopped, turned, and walked back.

Seeing that she had suddenly run back, Sang Ye thought that she was going to beat him up. He immediately put on a defensive posture. “What do you want?”

Huanhuan grabbed his arm, squeezed a few drops of blood from his wound, and held it with her palm.

After getting the antidote, she turned and walked away, quickly returning to Shuang Yin.

Huanhuan said slowly, “Drink this.”

Shuang Yin stuck out the tip of her tongue and slurped up the blood in Huanhuan’s palm.

After taking the snake blood, Shuang Yin felt her dizzy mind immediately sober up. She belatedly realized, “His blood is the antidote?”

“Mhm.” Huanhuan let the beast soldiers support Shuang Yin. “Hurry up and rest.”

“But here…”

“Leave it to me. As long as I’m here, no one will dare to take a step into this camp.”

Huanhuan said this calmly, but it made Shuang Yin feel inexplicably safe. Shuang Yin obediently returned to her tent.

Due to Huanhuan’s slap, the battle between the beast soldiers and the demons suddenly stopped. They had yet to recover from their shock, and they did not know if they should continue fighting. The atmosphere became very awkward.

A demon walked up to Sang Ye and asked carefully, “Lord Sang Ye, are we still going to fight?”

Sang Ye glanced at Huanhuan not far away. He saw her standing at the entrance of the camp like a guardian god. Her powerful strength was insurmountable.

“Let’s go.” Sang Ye covered the wound where Huanhuan had squeezed blood from and turned away. “We can’t beat him.”

“Oh.”

The demon beasts quickly went into formation and followed behind Sang Ye.

The beast soldiers followed them warily until they were far away. Only then did the beast soldiers whistle to signify that the crisis was over.

The atmosphere in the camp relaxed.

The battle ended there.

…

In the tent, Shuang Yin lay on a blanket. Her face was very pale.

Huanhuan lifted the curtain and walked in. “How are you feeling?”

Shuang Yin’s voice was weak. “I’m fine.”

The snake venom in her body had been neutralized, but the wounds were torn open again, causing another round of painful injuries.

Huanhuan saw that the cotton bandages were soaked in blood. She immediately helped Shuang Yin remove the bandages and washed the wounds with fruit wine. She reapplied the pulp of crispy fruits and carefully wrapped them with new bandages.

Her movements were not only light but skilled.

Shuang Yin couldn’t resist asking, “Did you use to bandage people’s wounds?”

Huanhuan replied casually, “Yes.”

“Are you a witch doctor?”

Huanhuan looked up at her. “Do I look like a witch doctor to you?”

Shuang Yin thought about it carefully, then answered frankly, “I didn’t think you looked like one before. Now, I think you do.”

“Really?” Huanhuan smiled. “Have you ever seen a witch doctor fight as well as I do?”

Shuang Yin laughed at her. “I’ve not.”

A witch doctor’s position in the tribe was too important. Unless they had no choice, a witch doctor would never personally go to war. They would be very well protected by the warriors in the tribe for the rest of their lives. This caused most witch doctors to be powerless.

To a witch doctor, combat power was secondary. Their brains were the most important.

Huanhuan said slowly, “I’ve bandaged your wounds. You have to be obedient for the time being. Don’t move again. If the wounds tear again, even I might not be able to save you.”

Shuang Yin nodded. “I’ll remember. It won’t happen again.”

Huanhuan stood up. “I’ll go back first.”

“Oh.”

Huanhuan turned to leave. When she reached the door, she suddenly heard Shuang Yun’s voice behind her. “Wait!”

Huanhuan stopped and turned to look at Shuang Yin. She asked her what was wrong.

Shuang Yin wanted to ask Huanhuan why she knew her nickname, Big Goody.

But for some reason, the question lingered on her lips before she swallowed it.

She smiled sheepishly. “It’s nothing important. I just wanted to ask where you’re staying.”

“I’m staying in a small tribe nearby.”

Shuang Yin quickly asked, “Can I visit you when my wounds recover?”

Huanhuan thought for a moment. “I’m afraid that won’t do.”

Shuang Yin was disappointed. “Why?”

“I followed a caravan here. They’re still in a hurry to sell goods in Rock City. I can’t waste too much of their time. I have to leave tomorrow at the latest.”

Shuang Yin’s eyes lit up. “You’re going to Rock City?”

“Mhm.”

Shuang Yin quickly said, “I’m going back to Rock City soon. I can go with you.”

Huanhuan frowned. “No, you’re not healed yet. You can’t travel long distances. It won’t be good for the recovery of your wounds.”

“You’ll be on the road too, won’t you? You’re a good doctor. You can definitely heal me, right?”

Shuang Yin’s words were a little shameless.

Under normal circumstances, she would never say such things to outsiders. However, for some reason, when she looked at Yu Tian, she could say such intimate words very naturally.

Huanhuan looked at her helplessly. “Alright, I’ll go back and discuss it with the caravan. If they agree, you’ll come with us.”

Shuang Yin immediately smiled. “Alright!”

“Then rest well. I’m leaving.”

“Be careful on the way. I’ll get Little Bear to send you off!”

Huanhuan waved her hand and said no. Then, she walked out without looking back.

The curtain fell back, covering Yu Tian’s figure. Shuang Yin had no choice but to look away. She looked down at the bandages on her arm and the small bow at the end.

That was the same bow that her mother used to tie when she bandaged people’s wounds.

Shuang Yin looked at it as if she were looking at her mother.

Although she did not know where Yu Tian came from, Shuang Yin could feel the kindness emanating from him.

Shuang Yin instinctively wanted to stay with him a little longer.
