The wicked female is extremely fierce, but she's pampered by her seven beast husbands.

Chapter 178 Trying to Get Something for Free
"You two, hold him still." Yu Heng turned around and pointed to Bai Qingyu and Shi Ruoan. "Although his superpowers have been sealed, his strength and instinctive reactions are still there. We need to keep him stable while cleaning his wounds."

Because Shi Panxing had too many and too deep wounds, he couldn't use vines to restrain him. First, the vines might not be able to restrain him, and second, the vines would cause secondary damage to his wounds.

Therefore, we can only use the most basic method.

Before Yu Heng could speak, Ling Chengen had already moved aside, allowing Bai Qingyu to walk to the front of the stone bed, while Shi Ruoan stood at the end of the stone bed. The two of them used their hands to hold Shi Panxing's body in place.

Ling Chengen glanced at Shi Panxing's fishtail and asked Shi Ruoan in a low voice, "You can't hold his tail in place like that, can you?"

Without any hesitation, Shi Ruoan raised her hand and used her superpower to create an ice ring on the upper part of the fish tail where the wound was relatively small, fixing it in place. She then placed her hands on the junction of Shi Panxing's fish tail and tail fin.

"That's the only way. His scales have almost all fallen off, so he's not as slippery anymore. He should be able to stay steady."

Seeing this, Ling Chengen said no more, but simply held the light grass to ensure that everything in front of him remained clear as Yuheng removed the pus and rotten flesh.

Yu Heng picked up a two-finger-long silver-white knife from the metal tray and quickly inserted the tip into the edge of the most severe wound on Shi Panxing's tail. He moved his wrist very fast, and his whole hand holding the knife handle was very steady, without shifting at all due to Shi Panxing's muscle spasms and violent body tremors.

As the knife tip moved under the skin, a large amount of blood flowed from the edges of the wound.

Ling Chengen used his mental power to grab another sterilized metal tray and carefully placed it beside the bed: "Put the scraped-off rotten flesh in here, don't throw it around."

Yuheng used something like tweezers to pick up the clump of rotten flesh that had been cut off and placed it on the tray beside her. She then turned back to focus on treating Shi Panxing's wounds.

Ling Chengen looked down at the necrotic flesh in the tray. Some of it was blackish-red, while others were bloodless, as if it had been soaking in water for several days. Her eyesight was exceptional; after scanning the clump of rotting flesh, she immediately spotted the wriggling worms within.

With just one glance, her scalp tingled instantly, and the hair on her arms and back stood on end.

Although I know that maggots will infest wounds if they fester for too long, I still feel psychologically resistant and find it hard to accept the sight when I actually see it.

She subtly shifted her gaze away, no longer looking at Yuheng's hand that had made the cut, nor at the wounds that bled profusely instantly after being cut by the blade.

The stone bed, which had been washed clean, was soon covered with blood.

Looking at the blood dripping onto the instep, Ling Chengen couldn't help but frown and say, "There's too much bleeding. If this continues, the wound won't be cleaned properly before the person bleeds to death."

Sweat beaded on Yu Heng's forehead, his lips pressed tightly together. He removed the last piece of rotten flesh from the upper half of the fish tail, tossed the blade in his hand into the tray piled with rotten flesh, moved his stiff right wrist, and the bloodstains on his left hand disappeared completely as his supernatural power swept across them.

"I know, don't worry."

Yuheng placed his cleansed left hand on Shi Panxing's fish tail, and a light green light slowly enveloped the bleeding wounds. Soon... the bleeding stopped.

Ling Chengen glanced at him, somewhat unsure of his intentions.

In fact, with Yuheng's abilities, although he could not heal the wound instantly, he could shorten the wound area.

But he didn't do that.

Yu Heng clearly had no intention of explaining. After stopping the bleeding, he picked up a new knife and began to remove the rotten flesh from Shi Panxing's upper body.

Seeing this, Shi Ruoan asked in confusion, "Shouldn't we treat the most severely affected lower limbs first?"

Yuheng shook his head, indicating to Ling Chengen to gather all his hair behind his back and tie it up with a rope.

“The injuries to his lower limbs take a long time to treat. His injuries to his waist, abdomen, and chest are also quite serious, and his internal organs have been affected. So we will treat his upper body first.”

Shi Panxing's injury to the lower half of his fish tail was too severe, and he hadn't yet figured out how to treat it.

Based on his past experience, cutting off the second half directly is the best approach.

Although it hurts a lot, it can save my life.

If it is not amputated, it would require a very delicate procedure to remove all the necrotic bone and flesh from his lower limbs.

Judging from the injuries, there is almost no healthy flesh on the lower half of Shi Panxing's fishtail, which is equivalent to...

Yuheng could only deal with the upper body first, while also thinking about whether there was a better way.

He not only had to clean the wound, but also use his supernatural abilities to stop the bleeding of Shi Panxing in time, while stabilizing his weakening organs and replenishing the life force he was losing.

The entire debridement surgery was extremely difficult and consumed a tremendous amount of his physical strength and supernatural abilities.

The surgery lasted about half an hour, and Ling Chengen noticed that his back, chest, and neck were covered in sweat, which even pooled into streams where the muscles were dented.

She took out a clean piece of cloud-patterned cloth from her spatial storage and wiped away the sweat clinging to his brow bone and eyelids.

Yuheng paused for a moment, then looked up and said, "Thank you."

After wiping his sweat, Ling Chengen withdrew his hand and said, "You can continue. Let me know if you need any help."

Yu Heng lowered his eyes, focusing on the surgery in front of him. He wanted to shorten the surgery time as much as possible, so as to save his physical strength and superpowers and not have to wait until the end.

“Go ask around where the orcs are stationed in Snake Mountain. See if they have any high-level wood-type warriors who know healing spells. If so, bring them over to help,” Yu Heng suddenly said.

Ling Chengen placed the light grass in a place where it wouldn't get in the way, then turned and left the cave.

Shi Ruoan and Bai Qingyu maintained the same posture from beginning to end. Both of them were drenched in sweat because their bodies and minds were constantly tense, and the temperature was not low during the dry season. They looked as if they had just been pulled out of the water.

Shi Panxing was already delirious from the pain and high fever. He struggled instinctively and began to mutter incoherently. His face was as pale as a sheet of paper, and his cracked lips were also colorless. Except for his eyelashes and eyebrows, which were dark, he looked like a piece of Dehua white porcelain that was about to break.

"Hold him down, don't let him move—"

Yu Heng suddenly looked up and glared at Bai Qingyu, a small knife the size of a palm hovering above the wound in his hand, drops of blood rolling down from the tip of the knife, making him look particularly cold.

Bai Qingyu dared not be distracted and pressed down hard on Shi Panxing's upper body.

In fact, he did not let go, nor did he dare to loosen his grip, but he only had two hands and only a ninth-level ability. Shi Panxing's ability level was obviously higher than his, and his physical strength was also stronger. It would be extremely difficult to firmly restrain Shi Panxing.

Yu Heng withdrew his gaze, and several vines quickly grew out from under the stone bed, then passed through Shi Panxing's arms, binding his arms tightly so that he could no longer move them.

Yuheng wiped the sweat from his forehead with his shoulder, feeling a bit irritated. He really hated the extremely hot weather. He had thought he could get a good rest that night, but he didn't expect to have to expend so much energy on such difficult treatment work...

Just as the wounds on his upper body were almost finished being treated, Ling Chengen returned with two high-level wood-type warriors.

Bai Qingyu first rinsed the two of them with water before Yu Heng let them in.

These two snake-type wood warriors didn't need to do anything else; they just needed to cast healing spells to help stop the bleeding.

The shamans of the Snake Clan are not as reliable as those of the Stone Forest. Judging from the treatment methods of their shamans after a few Snake Clan warriors were injured in the past few days, Yu Heng did not have much hope for these wood-type warriors. Fortunately, he had spent the past few days with the Snake Mountain warriors. He couldn't stand their terrible healing skills a few days ago, so he generously taught them a few better ones. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have any manpower to support them today.

Yu Heng gritted his teeth and began treating Shi Panxing's most serious lower limb injury, saying to Ling Chengen beside him, "If I save this person, Ling Chengen—"

"You bastard, you'd better kowtow to me at least once."

Ling Chengen stared blankly at his profile, wanting to argue, but seeing his focused expression and the taut veins on his forehead, he swallowed his complaints.

Oh well, he was forced to take on a losing order, so he's just grumbling a bit.

She is still understanding.

Sigh... It's really not easy for her to be the young clan leader.

If these two sea creatures weren't quite strong and had some use, potentially helping her solve the water beast problem in the Xuemu River and Yehelan River in the future, she would never have taken on such a troublesome matter.

I only hope that Shi Panxing can hold on, and I only hope that these two people will truly keep their promises and repay them well, working like slaves for them.

Ling Chengen took a deep breath, feeling the air thick with the smell of blood, and turned to walk outside.

The smell of blood was too strong; she had to go around and scare away any wild beasts attracted by it.

The surgery was still ongoing inside the cave, and the hoarse, painful howls frightened all the small animals in the vicinity away.

Only a few large predators followed the scent and came from afar.

Ling Chengen stood on a high rock and gazed into the distance. Then, he stretched his stiff neck and limbs, locked onto a direction, and leaped from the height. In mid-air, he transformed into a female giant tiger, gracefully adjusting his posture. After landing, he immediately started running, heading towards a large herd of wild beasts that had suddenly stopped and pricked up their ears to observe the situation.

After a full night of fighting, all three sides ended their battles before dawn.

Chang Tianchen maintained his human body and snake tail state, shaking off the blood from the tip of his tail with disgust. His chiseled features were covered with a lot of bloodstains, and even his thin eyelids, which had their own eyeliner, were covered with a cruel blood color.

Lin Jing darted through the tall grass like a rabbit and appeared in front of Chang Tianchen in the blink of an eye. He had two dark circles under his eyes and faint red blood vessels in his eyes, but he was extremely excited.

"Chieftain, the situation in the northeast has been completely resolved."

"Are you going north to help out?"

Chang Tianchen brushed his wet hair back, his fingertips touching sticky blood, and said listlessly, "No need, things have calmed down in the north. She's already taken care of it herself."

"Take a few men to the east and lend a hand to Lin Quan. Take care of those sickle-toothed wolf beasts as soon as possible."

Lin Jing was somewhat surprised. He looked up and glanced to his right, but could see nothing but endless weeds.

But as the chieftain said, there was indeed no sound from the north anymore, but from the east... there were still wild beasts roaring, even causing the ground to shake, and it seemed that the battle was still raging.

"The young clan leader of Shilin is terrifyingly powerful; he truly lives up to his reputation."

Hearing Lin Jing's sigh, Chang Tianchen slightly suppressed the corners of his mouth and couldn't help but flick him with his tail: "I told you to go, so hurry up! What are you dawdling about?"

"Get out of here—"

After regaining his senses, Lin Jing covered his backside and immediately took off running.

Only after running a distance did he finally rub his buttocks, grimacing and saying, "Damn, that really hurt! No wonder none of the people in the group wanted to get close to the clan leader."

He won't be a stick-out anymore!

A group of cunning and treacherous people.

……

Covered in blood, Ling Chengen paid no attention to his fallen prey and turned to run towards the cave.

It was a really long night, and I wondered if Yuheng had finished yet.

As soon as she reached the cave entrance, she saw Bai Qingyu leaning wearily against the outer stone wall, her head slightly tilted to the left, resting against a protruding rock, as if she had fallen asleep standing up.

As dawn broke, the first rays of the rising sun, just as they climbed above the horizon, fell on his long eyelashes and illuminated most of his fair face.

Ling Chengen slowed his pace and turned to look at the other side. Yu Heng was bending over, scooping water with a gourd ladle and pouring it over herself. Her long hair, which she had tied with a rope, was also completely soaked, the ends of which were twisted together and water was flowing out.

She stopped beside Yuheng and asked softly, "Is it over?"

Yu Heng looked exhausted, with glistening water droplets on his face. Suddenly, he reached out and pinched her furry ear, gritting his teeth as he said, "Tell me, how do you plan to repay me?"

Ling Chengen pretended not to know, blinked his round tiger eyes, tilted his head and said, "You saved him, why should I repay you?"

Yuheng squatted down in front of her, reached out and tapped the tip of her nose, showing no fear of the huge tiger in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Don't play dumb, it won't work here. If you hadn't brought this person back, I would never have saved such a troublesome person."

"How could you say that about yourself?!" Ling Chengen exclaimed in shock, lightly patting his knee with her paw. "I know you're a humble person, but you can't slander yourself like that. Don't you know how beautiful and kind you are in the hearts of us Northern Wilderness Beastmen?"

Yuheng was amused by her shamelessness. He pinched her furry face with his fingertips and said through gritted teeth, "Stop trying to fool me."

"Beautiful inside and out, who are you dreaming about?"

"How could I not know my reputation?"

"Don't try to get something for nothing. You wanted me to save him, so I did."

"The compensation cannot be less than what is owed."

Ling Chengen instantly withdrew one of his claws, coldly saying, "We're partners, why are you still trying to settle scores with me?"

Yu Heng reached out and grabbed her head, his hands and feet rubbing her round ears restlessly. He said, both amused and annoyed, "What's wrong with being a partner? Can't partners be fair? If you were fair to everyone, that would be fine, but you always favor Bai Qingyu. If I didn't understand, I'd be kicked out by you, you cold-hearted bastard, sooner or later..."

Ling Chengen asked hesitantly, "Then what do you want?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Heng immediately raised an eyebrow and asked, "Does this mean you've agreed?"

It's even simpler than he thought; the speed at which they agreed was faster than he imagined.

But Yuheng wouldn't mind that. He immediately glanced at Bai Qingyu, who seemed to be resting, and said softly, "When you come of age and decide to find a partner, I must be the first one in line."
