Chapter 352: Distribution of Medicine
"Moon, you're awake?"

Ye Ling was the first to notice her. Her silver eyes brightened instantly. Seeing the dark circles under her eyes and her listless appearance, which showed no signs of having rested, she frowned and walked over. "What's wrong? You look so haggard. Didn't you sleep well?"

Mo Lin, Qing Zhu, Xuan Ming, Feng Su, Xuan Yuan Ming and the others also looked at her instantly. Seeing her haggard face and dark circles under her eyes, they felt extremely distressed.

The Golden Silkworm King, Su Lie, the priest, and the witch doctor all looked over. Didn't they go to rest last night? Why do they look like they didn't sleep at all?

Did you spend the whole night taking care of the baby?

It has to be said that these people are right.

"Did the kids bother you?"

Mo Lin stepped closer and spoke first.

Su Xiyue nodded, rubbing her temples. "Silver Blade, Black Fiend, Frost Flame, and eight snake cubs suddenly transformed and crawled around naked all over the space. The clothes I had prepared were too big, so I had to make temporary alterations, which I didn't finish until dawn."

"What? They've all transformed into human form?"

Everyone was surprised, as cubs usually take three years to transform into human form, and those with good aptitude take at least two years.

Silverblade and the others are only about six months old, right? How did they suddenly transform into human form?

Surrounded by close friends and family, there's nothing to hide.

Seeing the astonished looks on everyone's faces, she explained that the concentration of spiritual energy in the space was too high, and since Silver Blade and the others were already of excellent aptitude, they were able to transform into human form ahead of schedule.

Everyone suddenly realized what was going on, and Ye Ling and Mo Lin were the happiest of all.

Knowing that all of her children had successfully transformed into human form, especially at just six months old, she was overjoyed.

Mo Lin has a cold personality; even if he is happy inside, he won't show much expression on his face, which is quite restrained.

Ye Ling burst out laughing, a rare look of satisfaction on her face. "They've got some potential."

Upon hearing this, Feng Su was immediately delighted. "It's quite a joyous occasion to suddenly have eleven more babies in the house."

Thinking of something, he immediately looked at Su Xiyue, "By the way, Little Yue'er, can they turn back? If they can't, then who will take care of the kids?"

"It can turn back. Lan Che got stuck for a moment, but I guided him a little and he turned back."

Su Xiyue briefly recounted what happened last night, "They've just transformed and aren't quite in control yet. They'll get used to it after a few tries."

When Mo Lin heard that Lan Che had gotten stuck in the middle and almost turned into a half-beast, his face darkened.

Fortunately, Yue'er was there to guide and transfer her powers in time; otherwise, if she had really become a half-orc, things would have been incredibly difficult for her.

She secretly resolved to train Lan Che more in the future to prevent him from losing face or having such a thing happen again.

Lan Che is his son, and he will never allow him to become a half-beastman.

"Mo Lin, I'm worried about the kids. Go in and keep an eye on them, and let them practice a bit more. Oh, by the way, the shirt isn't finished yet. Finish sewing it when you have time, and put it in the closet."

Su Xiyue realized something was wrong as soon as she spoke; the space belonged to her, and Mo Lin couldn't enter at all.

She quickly changed her mind, "Never mind, I'll take you in. You should disinfect yourself with mugwort water so you don't bring the virus in."

Completely unaware of Mo Lin's suddenly strange expression, there was nothing wrong with taking care of the child. It was his own kid, and he had to take care of him even if he didn't want to. It would be good to go in and teach him a lesson while he was at it.

But he still has to alter the boy's clothes, which is really... a bit of a hassle for him.

He's a male, and he doesn't even know how to hold a bone needle.

But he didn't refuse outright; he figured he could just sew it up casually later.

He turned around and washed his hands and face with the burnt mugwort. He even changed his snakeskin coat and used mugwort to fumigate himself to ensure that he would not bring the virus in.

After seeing that Mo Lin had finished disinfecting, Su Xiyue led him into the space, and then came out on her own.

They reappeared in the witch doctor's courtyard.

"How are the wild boars that were tested with the medicine last night?"

She asked casually after she came out.

Ye Ling pointed to the corner, "It's over there. It's not hot anymore, and the redness has gone down."

She went over to check and found that the wild boar was much more energetic and looked much normal, grunting as it ate the pig feed cooked by the orcs.

"The medicine seems to be working well."

She breathed a sigh of relief. "Now we can find people to test the drug."

Xuan Yuanming nodded slightly. "I've already selected a few infected orcs to wait in the quarantine area."

"Let's go over and have a look."

Su Xiyue nodded.

"Wait, the medicine is already brewed. Why don't we just carry him over there? It'll save the patient from having to run back and forth."

Qingzhu glanced at everyone with her emerald eyes and explained calmly.

He then went outside the courtyard and called over several orcs, instructing them to carry the pots of medicine that had been brewed in the courtyard to the quarantine area.

"Makes sense."

Feng Su pinched her nose and glanced disdainfully at the dark medicine in the pot. "This smell is even stronger than the old witch doctor's feet. It probably tastes very bitter too. Those orcs will probably cry for their parents when they drink it."

The old witch doctor's face darkened instantly, but knowing Feng Su's character, he rolled his eyes, turned around, and left the courtyard first, too lazy to bother with the phoenix chicken.

As he reached the gate of the courtyard, he remembered something, turned his head to look at the few clumps of pig manure left in the yard, and his disgusted old face scrunched up.

He roared at one of the orcs in the yard, "Remember to sweep the yard clean later, and this wild boar can be taken back to the pigpen."

After that, he left with his hands behind his back.

The priest stroked his white beard and smiled, saying nothing, only silently kicking a suspicious object away from his feet and rubbing the sole of his shoe against the corner of the wall. The smell in this courtyard was rather complicated.

Su Xiyue, Ye Ling, Qingzhu, Xuanming, Feng Su, Xuanyuan Ming, the Golden Silkworm King, and Su Lie all twitched their lips when they saw the priest's actions.

I quietly moved a little further away from the wild boar and its excrement.

Several strong orcs had already carried away the three large iron pots.

Su Xiyue and the others followed behind and soon arrived at the quarantine zone at the foot of the western mountain.

The atmosphere here is noticeably better than the despair and chaos of last night.

After drinking Su Xiyue's antidote water that night, most of the beastmen, females, the elderly, and cubs experienced significant relief from their symptoms.

Although they were all wearing masks and looked listless, at least they were no longer vomiting, having diarrhea, high fever, or rashes, and were able to go out and move around on their own.

In the open space at the entrance of the cave, groups of people were gathered in twos and threes. Although they still looked somewhat sickly, their eyes had already lit up, and they were talking in hushed tones.

Xuanyuan Ming scanned the entire room and directly arranged for the two orcs infected with the plague, whom he had selected the night before, to come over and test the medicine.

The two orcs, knowing they were there to test the medicine, showed no fear; instead, they were eager to try it.

They had heard that it had been tried on wild boars infected with the plague, and not only were they unaffected, they all recovered.

Although orcs are more advanced than mindless wild beasts, they are not fundamentally different.

Moreover, they were tormented by the plague to the point of wishing they were dead. If it weren't for the medicine prepared by Miss Xiyue that kept them alive, they probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for long.

Now that there are drugs available to try, I'm naturally willing to.

One of the older orcs walked up to the large iron pot first, looked at the black medicine in the pot that was emitting a pungent smell, and took a bowl of medicine without saying a word.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, he closed his eyes and drank it down directly.

"Gurgling."

Just like drinking water, the bowl of medicine was gone in the blink of an eye. His face instantly scrunched up, feeling that the medicine was so bitter that he could barely open his mouth. It was exceptionally unpleasant to drink.

"vomit"

"My God, what is this taste like? I have never tasted such awful medicine before."

The orc who was testing the medicine drank it, bent over and gagged, but didn't dare to actually spit it out, and complained with a crying face.

Seeing this, the other orcs nearby couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, look at him, acting like a coward. It's just a bowl of medicine, is it really that big of a deal?"

"Exactly, exactly, just like a female, hahaha."

Several orcs gloated, seemingly forgetting their aches and pains, finding a rare moment of amusement in their otherwise monotonous lives.

"Tsk tsk, I knew it would taste awful."

Feng Su pinched her nose and stepped back, afraid that the orc would vomit on her.

Su Xiyue didn't laugh, but instead carefully observed the orc who was testing the medicine. She saw that apart from his face being contorted by the bitterness of the medicine, he didn't seem to be in any discomfort. In fact, his spirits were gradually improving, which made her feel a little more relaxed.

It doesn't matter if it's tough, as long as it works.

After all, good medicine tastes bitter.

Actually, after the wild boars have tested the medicine, it can be distributed to the patients to drink.

However, just to be on the safe side, they still arranged for orcs to participate in the drug trials.

"Huh? After taking this medicine, I feel less uncomfortable?"

The orc who was testing the medicine closed his eyes and sensed it for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes and looked at everyone with a look of surprise on his face.

He used to feel a tightness in his chest, as if a heavy stone was pressing down on it, making it difficult to even breathe.

But now, the big rock seems to have suddenly disappeared, and I feel much more relaxed.

"Really? You're not kidding us, are you?"

Upon hearing this, an orc who was also infected with the plague looked at him with some suspicion.

The medicine was so bitter that he didn't want to try it.

Why would I lie to you? You'll know once you drink it yourselves.

The orc who was testing the medicine rolled his eyes and replied irritably.

He did feel much better; not only was the tightness in his chest gone, but he also felt much more refreshed and energetic.

Ye Ling, Qing Zhu, Xuan Ming, Feng Su, Xuan Yuan Ming, the witch doctor, the priest, the Golden Silkworm King, Su Lie, and others were all observing the face of the test animal. Seeing that the medicine was indeed effective and had no other side effects, they were even more relieved.

"Hehe, the medicine that I researched will certainly not have any problems."

The Golden Silkworm King stood there lazily, his golden hair and eyes gleaming with arrogance and pride. "This prescription contains my holy water, so it's nothing but a mere plague."

The old witch doctor and the priest looked at the Golden Silkworm King with admiration. As expected of a sacred object that could take human form, it was unparalleled in the world.

Even though they've lived to a ripe old age, they still can't compare to even a single finger of someone else; it's truly shameful.

The happiest of them all was Su Lie, who was relieved to learn that the plague was curable.

With a wave of his hand, he exclaimed happily, "Let all the patients line up to get their medicine, one bowl for each person, no more and no less."

Then, remembering something, he added, "Priority will be given to elderly people and young children with severe symptoms."

Ye Ling nodded, her silver eyes sweeping over the crowd. "Xuan Feng, Jin Yu, you two arrange for people to maintain order."

Xuanfeng and Jinyu immediately sprang into action, maintaining order and arranging for the orcs to distribute the medicine.
