The evil female is weak and the males of the whole continent are out of control and fall.

Chapter 681 Scalding Heat

She had even considered the worst-case scenario: if Jin Ying really became mentally impaired from the burns, it would be a responsibility she couldn't shirk, and she would take care of him for the rest of her life.

Seeing that she was still persevering in the middle of the night, several males disregarded their own injuries and stayed by her side to help.

“Wanwan, perhaps I can have the tribal shaman come and take a look?” Chief Rong suggested.

Bai Wanwan had already tried everything she could, and could only grasp at this last straw. "Alright, then let the clan shaman come and take a look."

No sooner had the chieftain sent someone to invite the tribal shaman than Bai Wanwan, whose lips were cracked from anxiety, noticed that the temperature under her palm seemed to have dropped a bit.

She was taken aback, then turned her head and said urgently, "Yan Lie, come and touch it, has the temperature on Jin Ying's forehead dropped a bit?"

Yan Lie was standing right next to her, and upon hearing this, he immediately reached out to touch her.

When he noticed that Jin Ying's forehead was no longer as hot as before, he was delighted. "Wanwan, it's really gone down, it's not so hot anymore."

Bai Wanwan was overjoyed and immediately began wiping with warm water again.

Again and again, until the clan shaman came.

After a thorough examination, the tribal shaman exclaimed, "Holy Maiden Bai Wanwan, your medical skills surpass mine. The male Jinying's fever has subsided, but I cannot cure the damage in his body."

Despite having anticipated this outcome, Bai Wanwan couldn't help but feel disappointed.

The tribal shaman's expression was grave as he continued, "The male Ember Shadow's life force is weak, and his energy is almost depleted... He simply cannot sustain himself, and he cannot eat. I'm afraid... he won't last more than two days."

These words struck everyone like a heavy hammer blow.

The males were all filled with gratitude for Ember's selfless rescue and gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

“I’m taking people into the mountains to look for the divine fruit. If we can find it, there might still be a chance…” Jin Yi said.

As Bai Wanwan listened to their conversation, she suddenly remembered that there was a high-energy nutrient in the system store.

Although it cannot heal injuries, it can at least provide the basic energy needed to sustain life.

She immediately exchanged for one and carefully tried to feed it to Ember Shadow.

However, Jin Ying clenched his teeth, lost consciousness, and the small amount of nutrients he was fed flowed out of the corners of his mouth, making it impossible for him to swallow.

Watching the fading life force of Jin Ying, Bai Wanwan bit her lip and looked up at her beastmen.

She knew this method was a bit out of line, but saving lives was the priority at the moment... Oh well, she'd do it herself.

She took a deep breath, drank a small sip of the nutrient solution herself, then leaned down and gently, tentatively, approached Jin Ying's chapped lips. With the tip of her tongue, she very gently pried open his clenched teeth, touched his unconscious tongue tip, and tried to stimulate his swallowing reflex.

"Wanwan!"

Yan Lie was the first to notice her actions. He stared in shock, rushed over, and instinctively tried to block the view of other males with his body. His voice was filled with disbelief, "What...what are you doing?"

Even though he didn't understand, he lowered his voice so that the other males wouldn't blame her.

Bai Wanwan raised her head, her lips still glistening with moisture, and explained to him, "The tribal shaman said he wouldn't last more than two days. I'm feeding him nutritional supplements, otherwise he won't have any energy and will die."

"Then...then you can let us do it!" Yan Lie said urgently, his cheeks flushed slightly.

“You can’t come.” Bai Wanwan shook her head, her tone resolute.

She also couldn't accept her male "feeding" another male in this way. She said nothing more, took another sip of the nutrient solution, bent down again, and patiently and slowly passed the liquid over to him, while gently stroking his throat with her hand to help him swallow.

After repeating this process, they successfully fed the child two vials of nutritional supplements.

Although Jin Ying still showed no signs of waking up, at least some of the liquid was successfully swallowed and did not all of it flow out.

The other males quickly noticed the commotion and knew what Bai Wanwan was doing, but this time they all tacitly chose to turn a blind eye.

For the next two days, the affairs of the tribe were handled by half of the males, including Chief Rong and Jin Yi, and included patrolling, defense, and daily management.

Meanwhile, Zhu Xiu, Yan Lie, Hua Han, and others stayed at home to recover from their injuries and take care of Bai Wanwan, the cub, and the two seriously injured people.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Jin Ying was still unconscious, his breath as weak as a candle in the wind. He was only kept alive by Bai Wanwan feeding him nutrient solution several times a day in that intimate yet helpless way.

Bai Wanwan devoted almost all her energy to taking care of him, hoping that his body could absorb more energy and become stronger, so that perhaps a miracle could be created and he could survive this ordeal.

That day, as before, she drank the nutritional supplement and gently pressed her lips to his dry, hot lips, trying to stimulate him to swallow.

However, this time, when she touched his lips, she could clearly feel that his lips, which had previously only passively received her touch, seemed to have a slight warmth that responded more than in the past few days.

This subtle change stirred something in Bai Wanwan's heart, and a surge of uncontrollable joy welled up within her!

This is a good omen!
She dared not delay and quickly stimulated the back of his tongue as usual to guide him to swallow.

But soon, she realized something was wrong.
No longer the passive state of complete indifference she had before, she felt her tongue being gently, yet undeniably, enveloped and sucked by a faint, slightly bewildered force!
Bai Wanwan froze abruptly, her heart skipping a beat!
She subconsciously raised her eyelids and met his eyes up close, which were already open and hazy with the feeling of just waking up.

Ember Shadow... has woken up.

He just looked at her quietly, their eyes met, their breaths could be heard, and a strange, indescribable atmosphere filled the air.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Bai Wanwan could clearly feel her heart pounding wildly in her chest, thump-thump-thump, like a drumbeat.

I don't know if it was because I was too surprised or something else.

Before she could delve deeper, she saw the initial haze in his eyes dissipate quickly like morning mist, replaced by a clear, burning inquiry, and a hint of... disbelief.

His tongue seemed to remain unconsciously and weakly in place, the faint entanglement feeling like a tiny electric current, traveling through their tightly pressed lips all the way to his neurons.

"You're awake?" Her voice sounded calm.

Ember Shadow did not answer immediately.

His deep eyes were fixed on her slightly pursed lips, which were still glistening with moisture.

His throat bobbed laboriously as he tried to speak, but only a weak, hoarse whisper escaped his lips, "You..."

He frowned, clearly dissatisfied with his weakness.

Seeing this, Bai Wanwan used a small bone spoon to scoop up some warm water from the side and brought it to his lips, her voice soothing: "Don't rush to speak, drink some water to moisten your throat."

Jin Ying (Fu Jinshen) greedily inhaled her unique scent so close to his face, suppressing the burning heat in his chest. Afraid of startling her, he forced himself to lower his eyelashes and gave a calm "hmm".
