“Thank you for your kind intentions, but I can treat this small injury myself.” Qiao Mo pasted a band-aid on her wound. She then met Evan’s dark gaze and added, “I’m immune to snake venom, I won’t die.”
Qiao Mo wasn’t sure why Evan had said she’d been infected by snake venom, but she was new to this place and didn’t dare claim she hadn’t been poisoned in case it might upset Evan’s ego. Therefore, the best excuse was to say that she was immune to snake venom.
As expected, Evan’s gaze became gentler. “Although you brought your own herbs, it’s still better to let me perform an exorcism dance for you. This way, it can effectively reduce the evil diseases caused by injuries.”
With that, Evan danced around Qiao Mo, his snake body twisting and turning and his hands moving around.
Qiao Mo had never received such treatment in her life and felt a little at a loss of what she should do. “Thank you, thank you…”
Someone nearby said, “This female is really lucky to have Shaman Evan perform the exorcism dance on her personally.”
Harry asked, “Are you from the Indian gray mongoose tribe? Or the honey badger tribe? It seems that these are the only two tribes that had immunity to snake venom.”
Qiao Mo was stunned for a moment. She recalled that wolves seemed to be the natural enemy of the Indian gray mongoose, so she hurriedly said, “I’m not from the Indian gray mongoose tribe.”
“Then she must be from the honey badger tribe,” Evan said while dancing.
Someone said, “No wonder she’s so ugly.”
Someone else added, “And she even forcibly refused the Shaman Evan’s treatment. Honey badgers are aggressive and bellicose by nature, and they are not good at making friends. Besides, honey badgers tend to live alone. It’s no wonder she’s in the mountains by herself..”
Harry lowered his head and said, “I’ll take care of her and provide enough food to support her through the winter. From now on, she’ll be my mate.”
Qiao Mo’s eyes widened. “Wait, I wasn’t poisoned, I don’t need…”
No one listened to Qiao Mo’s words. At this moment, an old man walked in from outside. “Even if she wasn’t poisoned, her hind leg has suffered a serious injury and needs time to recover. Just a small injury is enough for us beastmen to die in the Myriad Beast Forest! Harry, your decision is correct. Your kindness has saved this young female. I hope that she won’t let you down.”
Qiao Mo was rendered speechless.
The old man then looked around again. “Before Tribal Head Rem passed away, he said that he wanted Harry to become our leader! The condition is that Harry finds a mate that belongs to him! From today onwards, Harry has gained the qualifications to be our leader!”
The wolf beastmen cheered and went to prepare for tonight’s bonfire party.
After Evan finished his dance, he left Qiao Mo and a little girl named Lily in the room.
Lily helped to apply medicine to Qiao Mo’s feet. When Qiao Mo realized that Evan had prescribed a type of crushed herb for her ankle, she did not refuse.
Lily was an ugly little girl with an upturned nose and eyes that were like green beans.
However, she said to Qiao Mo, “You’re really lucky. Harry is the most handsome and strongest male in our tribe. Many females have professed to him but were rejected. He didn’t even look at a beautiful girl like me. Even the Elder’s daughter, Aisha, couldn’t win his favor!”
Qiao Mo looked at Lily suspiciously and asked curiously, “Harry is the leader of your tribe?”
Lily smiled mysteriously. “He isn’t yet, but he already has the qualifications.”
“Actually, Harry wasn’t originally a male of our tribe. He was hunted down by something in the Myriad Beast Forest. It was our previous tribal head, Rem, who had saved him. In order to save him, Tribal Head Rem suffered a very serious injury and died not long after he returned. But before he died, he appointed Harry as the new leader of the tribe. The condition was that he had to find his mate, and his mate must be acknowledged by our tribesmen.”
Qiao Mo said in a soft voice, “What a strange condition.”
Lily looked at Qiao Mo strangely. “What’s so strange about that? The only way to continue the next generation is to find a mate. It was because Tribal Head Rem was abandoned by his female mate that he didn’t have any descendants and had no one to succeed him. He must not want Harry to be like him.”
“But don’t be nervous. It’s not hard to gain recognition. You happen to be in your estrus period. As long as you mate with Harry in the near future and give birth to his cubs, everyone will acknowledge you!” Lily reached out her nose and sniffed at Qiao Mo’s lower abdomen, her face full of envy.
However, Qiao Mo looked very embarrassed. She had no intention of birthing children to a wolf!
However, at the thought of Harry, who wore a mysterious mask, Qiao Mo couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Have you seen Harry take off his mask?”
Lily shook her head. “No one has seen Harry’s face before. Everyone in the tribe is secretly spreading rumors that Harry’s background is not simple. Otherwise, why would the old tribal head risk his life to save him and even hand over the position of leader to him? Some people are guessing that he is someone who escaped from a big family in the Beast God City because his mask might be made of iron. Only those big clans have the qualifications to grasp smithing iron.”
At night, after Harry returned from the bonfire party, he entered the room and untied the animal skin.
Qiao Mo was sleeping groggily, still thinking about her transmigration in her half-asleep state.
Since she could not think of a way to go back for now, she could only stay here for the time being. Once her leg injury got better, she would try to look for the cave from which she had transmigrated from. She might be able to return then.
It was Harry’s footsteps that woke Qiao Mo.
She opened her eyes to see Hari untying the animal skin around his waist.
In the next moment, a strong and muscular male figure was displayed before Qiao Mo’s eyes, including the strong, thick, and masculine thing under his crotch!
Qiao Mo gasped and sat up, shrinking back. “What are you doing?”
Harry’s face had also turned red under the mask. His two snow-white ears were pressed back and he pursed his firm lips. “I… I don’t know how you honey badgers mate. Do you like to use your beastman form or your actual form? I have no problems with either.”
Qiao Mo’s face instantly turned red all the way to her ears. “Who wants to mate with you?”
Harry’s beautiful eyes revealed a look of incomprehension. “You’re already my mate, so why can’t you mate with me? Since I’ve already chosen a mate, then I hope that we can have children as soon as possible and fulfill Old Rem’s dying wish and to lead this tribe well!”
Qiao Mo was speechless. “But I never said I wanted to be your mate.”
Harry’s face darkened. “But you didn’t object to it earlier either. Everyone thinks you’re my mate now. If you abandon me, believe me, the dinner banquet over there isn’t over yet. My wolf companions are still missing a main course. I’m sure they wouldn’t mind that it’s a roasted honey badger.”
Qiao Mo opened her mouth. She almost forgot that these guys were wild beasts. If she offended them, she might really become their appetizer.
“But my leg is injured. I can’t… I can’t mate for the time being.” Qiao Mo blushed as she said this. She really wanted to find a hole to hide in.
Hari frowned and looked at Qiao Mo’s ankle, which was still covered with herbs. His heart softened. “You had just gotten injured today so it must hurt, doesn’t it? I can leave you alone tonight, but we have to mate once before your estrus period is over. Just once. We can use a position that you are most comfortable with. I promise I’ll be gentle and won’t hurt you. Can you promise me that?”
Qiao Mo’s face had turned so red that it looked like it was going to explode.
What lewd talk was this guy saying!
It could be that she was in her menstrual period and wolves would definitely be able to smell something given their strong sense of smell. For animals, their menstrual period was indeed their estrus period.. They’d only be able to be impregnated if they mate during this period…
