Chapter 446 What's going on?

She shifted her body slightly and immediately felt a large patch of skin under the animal hide come into direct contact with the cool air, as well as... the body temperature emanating from Hua Han's arms and chest, which were also covered by a thin layer of clothing!
Bai Wanwan instantly snapped awake. "Hua Han, what's going on?"

Almost instinctively, she used all her strength to push away the man who was holding her tightly, her face flushed red and her eyes filled with anger.

Hua Han stumbled backward after being pushed by her before regaining his balance. Caught off guard by her questioning, his handsome face flushed slightly.

He recalled the scene of wiping her face, his eyes instinctively avoiding her gaze, his Adam's apple bobbing several times before he finally managed to utter a somewhat dry sound:

"Wanwan...you, don't panic, let me explain."

He took a deep breath and tried to calm his voice, "You have a very high fever. You're delirious and can't be woken up no matter what I do."

She carefully observed his complexion before continuing, "I... I really have no other choice. I remembered an old shaman from our tribe mentioning that if you have a persistent and severe fever, you can... you can take off your clothes and repeatedly wipe your body with a soft cloth soaked in cool stream water, especially the sides of your neck, armpits, and palms and soles of your feet, to help dissipate heat... maybe that can buy you some time..."

His fox-like eyes showed a hint of grievance, "I was so worried about you, so I thought I'd try wiping your body to bring down your temperature. I had only been wiping you for a little while when you...you woke up..."

Hua Han lowered his eyes, looking completely innocent. But in reality, he was concealing the true emotions in his eyes.

He spent the whole night cleaning, and saw and touched everything he needed to see.

But he knew he couldn't say it out loud, otherwise he would anger the female.

Bai Wanwan wanted to lash out and question him, but Hua Han's words of concern and care for her left her with no reason to retaliate.

Forget it, just treat him as a doctor. Doctors don't distinguish between men and women when saving lives.

Besides, if it weren't for his help, he might have really burned himself into an idiot.

Although there is a system, it is not fully intelligent; she has to operate it herself as needed.

In that situation, she was delirious with fever and naturally couldn't get fever-reducing medicine to save herself.

A subtle silence fell over the cave, broken only by the two people's slightly rapid breathing and the seemingly endless patter of rain outside the thatched hut.

Bai Wanwan took several deep breaths, suppressing the embarrassment rising in her heart, after all, Hua Han was not her beast husband.

"I understand, thank you. You...you can go out for a moment, I need to get dressed."

The female didn't seem angry, and Hua Han felt like she'd been granted a pardon. She immediately replied, "Okay! I... I'll go check if the broth is ready."

Only Bai Wanwan remained in the space.

She then loosened her grip on the animal skin, reached into the neatly folded clothes beside her, found her undergarment and animal skin robe, and, despite the soreness and weakness in her body, awkwardly put them on.

The rough animal hide rubbed against my skin, which had just been wiped and was still cool.

When I got dressed and went out, the cubs were still fast asleep in their nest.

She didn't disturb them and walked outside.

As I walked to the door of the inner room, I almost bumped into Hua Han, who was carrying a warm stone bowl.

"Careful!" Hua Han held the bowl in one hand and supported her waist with the other.

I had just recovered from a cold and was even a little unsteady on my feet. It took me a while to regain my balance.

Hua Han helped her sit down on the stone bench. "Come on, have some hot soup first."

Bai Wanwan was indeed hungry. She picked up the hot soup, blew on it as she drank, and after just two sips, she felt much better in her stomach.

"By the way, where is Jiaoyin?" "Jiaoyin saw that your fever wouldn't go down, and after hearing from the lynx tribe's shaman that there was silver leaf grass in the swamp, he braved the rain to go and find the medicine for you."

Jiaoyin has also sacrificed a lot for Wanwan, and besides, he needs Jiaoyin, a powerful companion, to win Wanwan's heart.

Otherwise... he didn't think he could compete with the six excellent beastmen around Wanwan on his own.

"You said Jiaoyin went to find medicine for me? She went to the swamp?" Bai Wanwan's voice was hoarse and urgent.

"Hmm, don't worry, Jiaoyin is an orange-tier male, so there won't be much danger."

Since she had already gone, there was no use in Bai Wanwan being anxious; she just felt that she owed Jiaoyin more and more.

He was the one who rescued her from Roger, and he was the one who protected her as she safely crossed the ocean and arrived on this continent.

Now, because of him, I'm braving this heavy rain to go to the swamp.

She owed him more and more, even though she hadn't even been willing to help him when he asked for help in the beginning.

The rain finally subsided, no longer pouring down, but turning into a continuous drizzle with a chilling edge.

But the sky remained as gloomy as if a huge iron pot were overturned, making it hard to breathe.

Bai Wanwan, wrapped in the thick animal hide that Hua Han had insisted on draping over her, stood at the door like a bear.

Her gaze pierced through the gray rain curtain, sweeping over the muddy tribal path again and again. Every time the shadows of distant trees swayed, every time a blurry figure approached, she felt a surge of anticipation.

Hope is like a candle flickering in the wind, swaying and about to be extinguished with each disappointment.

If such heavy rain were to trigger a mudslide, even if Jiaoyin were an orange-tier powerhouse, he would find it difficult to contend with the natural disaster.

"Wanwan, the rain is chilly. You've just recovered from your fever and are still weak. You can't let yourself get cold. Come in and warm up." Hua Han's voice, with a coaxing tone, rang out behind her once again.

Bai Wanwan shook her head, only wrapping the animal skin tighter, her gaze still fixed on the distance.

Hua Han sighed, knowing she couldn't persuade her otherwise.

He stepped forward, not to pull her, but to unfold another, larger, drier piece of animal hide and wrap it tightly around her original hide, like wrapping her up like a rice dumpling.

Feeling the added weight and warmth on her body, Bai Wanwan finally moved.

She looked up at him: "Hua Han, have you heard the orcs in the tribe talk about the swamp jungle? Is it dangerous there?"

He smiled slightly at her, his voice calm and resolute: "Don't worry. The lynx clan has thrived here for many years. Although the overall level of the orcs is not high, precisely because of this, there is absolutely no deadly danger nearby that could threaten a peak orange-rank male. Otherwise, given the lynx clan's cautious nature, they would have moved away as a whole long ago."

He paused, then added, "Jiaoyin is very strong. He promised to bring back the medicine, and he will definitely do so."

Hua Han's words were logically clear and carried a calming power.

Bai Wanwan's tense nerves seemed to be soothed a little.

However, as the day passed and night fell, Jiaoyin did not return.

The next day, the rain continued to drizzle. Besides taking care of the cubs, Bai Wanwan would occasionally peek out the door.

The heavy worry in her heart grew wildly like vines; she owed Jiaoyin far too much.
