Chapter 171 Don't cause trouble for the mother
Qiao Xixi exchanged the items, reached out and hugged the sleeping Qiao Qiao in her arms, and then closed her eyes.

The next morning, as soon as Qiao Xixi and Qiao Qiao went out, they were stopped by a male leopard.

Qiao Xixi looked at him without changing her expression. "Is there something you need?"

The male leopard said, "I saw you could cure diseases at the market yesterday."

Josh nodded. "I am a priestess, and my female offspring have healing abilities; they can indeed cure illnesses."

“My mistress is sick. Can you come with me to see her? I’ll give you 10 crystal coins.”

Josh didn't answer immediately, but instead asked, "Where do you live?"

"You will know when you go."

"I can go, but I need my beastman to come with me."

The male leopard was somewhat displeased, but he still agreed.

Qiao Xixi asked Qiao Qiao to call out the falcon owl.

The leopard male's gaze swept over the falcon owl. Because the falcon owl was using pink to conceal its aura, in the leopard male's eyes, the falcon owl was just an ordinary snake-beastman.

"Let's go."

Jin Lin and Fei Yan stood at the second-floor window, frowning as they watched Qiao Xixi and the others leave.

"Are you sure we don't need to go with them? Can that snake handle it?" Fei Yan's eyes were full of distrust towards Falcon Owl.

"Father, you should stay home and not cause trouble for the mother."

Fei Yan glanced at his little one with a resentful look. How was he just causing trouble? He was clearly worried about Xi Xi, okay?

The male leopard led Josie and the others through several secluded paths in the tribe, finally arriving at the tall stone house at the very top of the tribe.

"You all wait here. Once you go inside, no matter what you see or hear, you must not tell anyone."

"What kind of patient is this that's shameful? You're not going to let us out after we go in and cure the illness, are you? If that's the case, then we won't get treatment."

After saying that, Qiao Xixi made a move to leave.

This completely dispelled the male leopard's suspicions about them; it was the leopard that was suspicious of them for not feeling fear when threatened.

"No, once you've cured this illness, I'll give you even more crystals."

"That's pretty much it."

Hua Qing pushed open the heavy wooden door and led them inside.

The stone houses here are constructed much like the places where they live, except that these stone houses are taller and larger.

After entering, they walked down a long corridor, and there were three such corridors in total.

Falcon followed behind them at a leisurely pace, its gaze seemingly casual, but in reality, it had memorized the path it had taken.

After passing through another wide stone gate, they finally arrived at a solitary stone house.

This stone house is different from the others. The stone walls are decorated with many blooming flowers and painted with colorful flower juice, making people guess that the person living in this stone house must be a particularly positive and optimistic orc.

Along their journey, they encountered many male orcs on patrol and guard duty, but there wasn't a single orc outside this courtyard.

Hua Qing pushed open the door and let Qiao Xixi and the others in.

But when Falcon tried to follow him inside, the leopard-man stopped him, saying, "You just wait outside."

The falcon's brows were menacing, and its snake-like eyes darkened.

"Wait outside for a moment, we'll be right out."

Qiao Xixi gave him a reassuring look, and Falcon Owl nodded and took a step back.

Hua Qing closed the door after entering.

Upon entering the courtyard, Qiao Xixi discovered that not only the area outside but also the courtyard itself was filled with vibrant flowers. "These flowers are so beautiful."

Upon hearing this, the male leopard's eyes softened. "The female loves flowers the most, so except for the cold days, I fill the yard with flowers."

"Then your mistress must be a very gentle and beautiful woman."

Hua Qing's features softened further as he walked ahead and pushed open the door.

"My lady, I'm back."

Inside the door was a small but cozy stone house.

Inside the stone house, a female dressed in a pale yellow animal skin coat sat quietly at the table, making the coat with bone needles in her hand.

Hearing Hua Qing's voice, she looked up.

She had two rounded antlers on her head, and her long, dark brown hair was casually tied back with animal skin strips, with only a few mischievous strands hanging down in front of her.

Her eyes were large and round, and her gaze was filled with an indescribable tenderness. She was probably around the same age as Qiao Xixi, but she lacked the vitality of a young woman. Her face was exceptionally pale, which added a touch of pitiful fragility to her gentleness.

"Hua Qing, you're back." Her gaze shifted, landing on Qiao Xixi with a hint of confusion, but she quickly smiled gently again.

"Hmm, why are you up? Didn't you say you were feeling a little dizzy this morning?"

Lingmiao smiled. "I'm much better now. I just felt bored and thought of finding something to do. They are..."

"Oh, these are the newest invasive beasts in the tribe. They have amazing medical skills. I've asked them to come and take a look at you."

Lingmiao's gentle eyes dimmed for a moment, but she quickly regained her gentle demeanor and invited Qiao Xixi and the others to sit down.

"The little one is so cute. Does he like fruit? Hua Qing, didn't you buy a lot of fruit before? Go and get it to serve our guest."

Hua Qing got up to get it.

"Don't be so polite, we're just here to treat your illness."

Lingmiao replied, "It's alright. No other beastmen have come here for a long time. I'm very happy that you came. As for my illness, it's incurable, so it's not so bad."

Even though Qiao Xixi wasn't a doctor, she could tell that Lingmiao's health was poor, because she was already breathing heavily after only a few words.

Originally, she only wanted to take the opportunity to enter the inner city at the top of the mountain, but if possible, she wouldn't mind truly healing the beautiful and gentle female in front of her.

"Auntie, I'm very good, I can definitely cure your illness."

Lingmiao couldn't help but pinch Qiao Qiao's little face. "Baby is so cute. I've had this illness since birth, and it's very difficult to cure."

"They haven't even shown us the medicine yet, how can they be so sure we can't cure it?"

Lingmiao simply smiled and nodded gently, "Okay, then take a look and see if you can cure it."

Instead of letting Qiao Qiao take her pulse immediately, Qiao Xixi had Ling Miao extend her hand to take her pulse.

"Little Demon, quickly help me take a look, what's wrong with her body?"

"Host, I'm just a system, not a doctor."

"Just look at it, stop talking so much nonsense."

"Oh."

"Hiss, it seems there's a big problem. This female deer is born with some deficiencies, and then she lost her essence and blood when giving birth. I'm afraid she won't live much longer."

Is there no cure?

"Some hosts have medicine in the store, which you can exchange for if you want, but it's not cheap."

How many points do I need?

"500."
