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

Chapter 296 Grand Eunuch
Ling Chengen glanced at Chang Tianchen, then turned the blueprint around and handed it to Chang Tianchen.

Chang Tianchen wasn't good at drawing, but after seeing Ling Chengen bring out a lot of blueprints over the past six months, he basically understood their purpose...

He looked at the blueprints very quickly, basically just glancing at them before immediately flipping to the next one, appearing quite careless.

The people inside the room turned their gazes to him, but upon seeing this, they looked away, seemingly having given up hope.

However, when he turned to the last page, Chang Tianchen suddenly stopped.

"Is this pattern also inside the temperature-locking ring?" he asked, somewhat surprised.

Ling Chengen looked at the blueprint he had singled out and nodded, saying, "Yes, you've seen it before?"

Chang Tianchen casually placed the other drawings aside. When he raised his sleeve, he accidentally knocked two of them away. One of them almost landed in the charcoal brazier. The little panda, who was warming itself by the fire, suddenly raised its paw and slapped the drawing onto the ground, saving it from being burned.

Yu Shaochen rubbed his sleepy eyes, picked up the two blueprints on the ground, looked up at Ling Chengen, then at Chang Tianchen who was pretending to pick something up, got up and handed the blueprints to him, then slowly moved back to the fire pit, wrapped his round and chubby body with his fluffy tail, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Chongzhen looked at him, who had a simple-minded look from beginning to end. He reached out and lifted him by the back of his neck, moving him away from the charcoal brazier. He reached out and touched the slightly curved part of his back fur, and said with a smile, "You really have a big heart. Your fur is all burnt!"

Yu Shaochen was oblivious. He awkwardly turned his head to look behind him and tried to touch his back with his short paws, but his hands were too short to reach it.

He got up from the ground, looked up at Su Weihua, and hesitated before asking, "Really?"

Su Weihua nodded and pointed behind him: "The fur is burnt, can't you smell the burnt smell?"

Yu Shaochen sat on the floor heated by the floor heating, and didn't feel cold. He just sniffed and belatedly realized, "I've caught a bit of a cold these past few days, and my nose is stuffy, so I can't really smell it."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been called over today, and then felt dizzy and disoriented, immediately transforming back into his beast form and falling asleep by the charcoal brazier.

"Didn't you use any healing spells yourself?"

"The healing technique works well for external injuries, but it's not as effective for internal injuries. And the ones I've tried have kept recurring and haven't fully healed." Yu Shaochen touched his ear, then yawned, revealing two small, sharp teeth, exuding a cute aura from head to toe.

Ling Chengen put aside the matter of the blueprints for the time being and asked Yu Heng, who was sitting not far away, "Could it be the flu?"

Yu Heng got up and walked to Yu Shaochen's side, picked up the round, fluffy ball of fur, and casually placed it on the small square table where tea was served. He then used his supernatural ability to probe into Yu Shaochen's body.

He quickly stopped: "I'm not quite sure what you mean by the flu, but he's probably weak. He's been experiencing frequent temperature changes and hasn't been properly protected from the cold, so there's something wrong inside his chest. The symptoms are a stuffy nose, runny nose, headache, fever, and weakness."

"I'll get him some medicine in a bit, and he'll be fine after a couple of days."

Yuheng glanced at Yu Shaochen and said, "But these things can't guarantee you won't catch a cold later. The key is to stay indoors as much as possible. Especially when it's hot inside and cold outside, the alternation between hot and cold is the easiest way to get sick. Make sure you wear thick clothes when you go out..."

Yu Shaochen nodded, indicating that he understood.

After confirming that Yu Shaochen's condition was not serious, Ling Chengen turned to Chang Tianchen and continued their previous conversation.

"The pattern you mentioned is a crucial part of the thermal lock ring, and I've never quite figured out what it is... but it is indeed related to the secrets of thermal lock."

Chang Tianchen lowered his eyes, seemingly lost in thought, and said, "This is a secret technique of the Southern Plains Snake King clan."

Chongzhen raised his eyes and said, "Oh, aren't you from the snake clan of Nanyuan? From your clan?"

Chang Tianchen shook his head and said, "Our branch is the Two-Headed Snake Clan, a snake clan that mutated in the later stages of the Snake Prince's lineage. Moreover, when I was young, I was exiled to the Northern Plains. The Southern Plains Snake King, also known as the Giant Bone King Snake, originally lived in the Red Land outside Huangyan Beast City. They and the Whiptail Lizard Clan were known as the overlords of the Red Land."

“I don’t recognize the other markings here, but this one definitely belongs to the Giant Bone King Serpent. They later moved from Huangyan Beast City to Beast King City and became one of the top noble families in Beast King City, second only to the royal family.”

The environment in the Red Land is quite harsh, arid and with little rain. For a long time of the year, it is hot and sunny, so the Giant Bone King Serpent clan mostly awakens fire and earth-type abilities, and the Whiptail Lizard clan is in a similar situation.

He thought that if he reverted to his ancestral form, he would at most become a two-headed snake like his useless father, but he unexpectedly reverted to the bloodline of the Heavenly Python.

However, this also shows that their branch is indeed related to the Giant Bone King Serpent Clan.

They split off hundreds of years ago, and the bloodline of their snake clan has become increasingly diluted, with a lower and lower probability of reverting to their ancestral lineage.

He was probably lucky, and with a special encounter, he was able to achieve the ancestral return of the Heavenly Python bloodline.

The result was still an incomplete version.

Chang Tianchen didn't want to talk about his bloodline, so he only mentioned it briefly before bringing up the Giant Bone King Serpent's mark again: "This is a fire-type mark."

“Nan Yuan’s use of superpowers is very detailed, and I can’t explain it very clearly. You can ask Yu Heng about it. Anyway… because orcs can awaken superpowers, they have gradually figured out various superpower imprints. This is the Heartfire Pact I made before, which is somewhat similar.”

"However, the Heartfire Seal is part of the Heavenly Python's memory inheritance, but this mark was later developed by the snake-clan beastmen from their long-term experience in controlling fire. Moreover, it was finally finalized after generations of improvement."

"I don't remember the exact name of this giant bone king serpent clan mark, but I know its origin and I can use it."

This happens to be part of the combat skills during the primal stage.

I never expected to see it in the internal structure diagram of the temperature-locking ring.

Chang Tianchen put down the paper in his hand, casually weighed it down with the plate of dried fruit on the table, and started with zero frames. He raised his finger directly, and bright red supernatural power overflowed from his fingertip. He casually drew a few strokes in mid-air, but did not throw this attack supernatural power out: "That's about it. This is the Fire Eye Technique."

"It can keep the fire burning steadily and is not easily affected by other factors. It can generally last for one to three days, mainly depending on the number of lines in the inner circle of the fire eye."

“I took a look, and the inside of this heat-locking ring has dozens of lines, which means... it can burn for dozens of days.”

"But the fire of the Fire Eye Technique is very intense. To maintain a constant and suitable temperature for the body, it may be achieved through other markings."

"You could explore this avenue."

After confirming that they had looked at it, Chang Tianchen immediately withdrew all his fire-type abilities back into his body.

Ling Chengen lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before asking, "If you have time recently, you can talk to Su Weihua. He is in charge of this matter. I have no clue about the inscription technique. At most, I can use my special ability to imprint the internal patterns for you without damaging the temperature-locking ring."

To be honest, she couldn't understand these marks and spells from the Beast World at all.

It's like how martial artists can't understand what cultivators of immortality are talking about—guiding qi into the body, refining elixirs, flying on swords...

It sounds ridiculous, let alone understand it. Although everyone has superpowers, it always feels like they're not from the same system.

She admitted that she wasn't good at this.

Everyone has their own area of ​​expertise, so it's best to leave professional tasks to professionals.

When Chang Tianchen used his Fiery Eye Technique, he noticed that only Ling Chengen looked bewildered. Although the expression was brief, he still managed to catch it.

It seems that her special ability does not have any such mark or magic inheritance.

Understanding the importance of the temperature-locking ring, Chang Tianchen did not refuse the matter, but nodded in agreement on the spot.

Chongzhen looked at Yu Shaochen, who had fallen asleep again on the table, took the little panda that looked like a hand warmer off the table, put it directly on her lap, and turned to Yuheng and said, "This is interesting. A quiet guy and a repressed flirt are together. I wonder if they can make something of themselves."

As Yuheng was writing a prescription and putting away his charcoal pencil, he said quietly, "You've been very free lately? You even have time to watch their drama? The city's population registration is finished, and the housing allocation and occupancy have been resolved? The number of people who have moved in from the Crow Clan and Xiama Clan has exceeded ten thousand. Don't you really have any sense of urgency?"

"When the snow gets heavier and we clash with the Uga tribe, all those who are killed or wounded will be counted by name..."

Chongzhen's pretty face instantly fell. She stroked the numb panda's fur and gritted her teeth, saying, "You're the one who always throws cold water on me! I finally managed to steal a moment of peace today. I'm usually so busy I'm practically running around like a headless chicken."

Just when things were finally getting a little funny, there's this guy who's got to wind him up.

Do you really think he's some kind of ox or horse that can plow a hundred acres of land just by giving him a bundle of hay?!

What an inhuman bastard!
The matter of the temperature-locking ring was considered settled, and Ling Chengen originally intended to get up and leave.

But Yuheng stopped her, saying, "Let's have someone clean out the medicinal herbs in the warehouse first. Store them separately and register them all, because we'll be using them soon."

Ling Chengen thought for a moment and said, "The head of inventory is Chongguang, but Xuanyan is in charge of registration and cataloging, so he knows the inventory situation very well. Didn't you say you wanted to talk to him? You can go directly to him."

Yu Heng nodded and reminded everyone, "Everyone here is in good health. No one has had any problems since it snowed. Only Yu Shaochen is a little weaker and shows some signs of catching a cold. But this serves as a reminder!"

Yuheng stood up and handed the list in his hand to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen looked up at the lower half of his face, bewildered, and said, "Why are you giving me this prescription? I don't have time to get medicine and prepare it for Yu Shaochen. Find someone else."

Yu Heng glanced down at him, a slight smirk playing on her lips, and scoffed, "This isn't for him, it's for you."

"I'm not sick!"

Chongzhen had a ruddy complexion and a strong voice. He straightened his back and glared at him, unable to bear anyone making fun of his weak health.

Just as Yu Heng was about to explain, Ling Chengen understood and took the prescription from his hand, saying, "This is for the orcs in the city who have caught a chill?"

Looking at Ling Chengen, Yu Heng finally felt relieved. He looked down at Chong Zhen with disdain and sneered, "See? You should use your brain more often. With a brain like yours... I don't even know if you can manage the finances properly!"

Shigeaki, who was being mocked but was feeling rather defiant, said, "..." Fine!

"Generally speaking, people who have caught a cold are the easiest to treat in the early stages."

"If you sweat it out and keep your body warm, you can usually recover without medication."

"But most orcs, relying on their strength and health, don't take a few coughs or a slightly stuffy nose seriously. They only seek treatment from a witch doctor when their condition becomes serious and they start to have a high fever. But by then, they definitely won't get better without taking medicine for a few days."

"If it drags on, the situation can become quite serious, with possible symptoms such as chest tightness, coughing up blood, and shortness of breath. In severe cases, it could even lead to death."

“Special attention should be paid to young animals that are physically weak, elderly animals, and female animals.”

"Take the medicinal herbs from the warehouse, set up several medicine distribution points in the city, and arrange for a shaman to be on duty. Also, remember to send someone to inform every household that they should pay attention if any mild symptoms appear. Even if they don't want to take medicine, they should still boil more ginger soup and drink it."

"Especially ginger. We planted a lot of it in Shilin before and harvested it all. Now is the time to put it to good use."

"Every household can keep this on hand. It's also easy to grow. Any low-level wood-type warrior can grow a large clump just by finding a flower bed."

"Boil some ginger soup, slice it or shred it, and you won't need much of it. It's the best thing to keep warm."

"Even if you don't have symptoms like a stuffy nose, runny nose, or a slight cough, you can drink a bowl of this first thing after coming back from outside."

"The city's population is growing, but the supplies we stockpiled during the autumn hunt are limited. So, we should treat minor illnesses that require low cost as soon as possible. Delaying treatment may lead to a shortage of medicinal materials and supply disruptions."

"Understand?"

Yuheng is discussing this matter very seriously this time.

He rarely made any arrangements and was mostly like a free man.

His sudden seriousness made several people in the room who often dealt with him feel uncomfortable.

Ling Chengen slapped the prescription into Chong Zhen's arms, smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "You've worked hard. You're going to be working at the grassroots level anyway, so I'll leave these things to you. If we don't have enough manpower, we'll just transfer more people."

Chongzhen still wields considerable influence in personnel transfers.

People like Yu Heng, Chang Tianchen, Shi Ruoan, and Ling Chengen are completely untouchable, but everyone else really listens to him.

He built Beast City single-handedly. The beastmen under him, especially the rat-clan herbalists, might not know Ling Chengen, but they definitely know Chongzhen.

Chongzhen carefully put the prescription away and tucked it into her sleeve pocket. She handed Yu Shaochen, whom she was holding, to Ling Chengen, then stood up and said, "I understand. You take care of him..."

Chongzhen knew he was the most suitable person to do this.

But he still felt uneasy, as if he were the chief eunuch in front of the empress of his household...

No, the Grand Eunuch is not worthy of him; he should at least be given the title of "Nine Thousand Years Old"!

Yu Heng took Yu Shaochen from Ling Chengen's arms and turned to leave: "Leave him to me, he'll be fine. After I get his medicine, I'll go check on the situation at the medical station. Don't worry..."
