"Youâre Mu Mianmian, right? We indeed need a doctor here. Sit down, have some water, letâs chat."
At Jiang Laiâs words, Mu Mianmianâs lips curled slightly. Though she was impatient and disdainful inside, she nodded and sat down.
Jiang Lai handed her a cup of water.
"Letâs talk slowly."
Mu Mianmian contemplated for a moment, looked at the cup before her, and then pushed it aside expressionlessly.
"Forget it, Iâm not drinking the water."
She lowered her eyes, looking at Jiang Lai.
"Iâm a doctor, so donât think of playing any tricks on me. I can join you, but thereâs only one condition. I want to establish a separate tribe."
Which means even if I join your tribe, Iâm still the leader. Youâre only responsible for my food, drink, and accommodations; nothing else concerns you.
Hmm, itâs pretty good, almost like spending money to bring back a patriarch.
Seeing Jiang Laiâs silence, Mu Mianmian didnât rush.
"Your method of using soapy water to flush their stomachs might make them feel a bit better, but it definitely wonât detoxify. Eventually, those who were meant to die will still die. But I have a real antidote. A simple request in exchange for an experienced doctor â itâs a good deal for you."
After speaking, she intended to smile, but an unexpected wave of nausea made her cover her mouth reflexively.
"Urghâ"
Her stomach churned violently, pain assaulted her as if countless needles were stirring within. Her limbs began to tingle, and her mind became foggy.
"What did you do to me?!"
Mu Mianmian reacted swiftly.
Jiang Lai leisurely picked up the cup of water before him and took a sip.
"A couple of days ago, I found something strange in the mountains, near the source of the spring water. The vegetation around there was withered, and I found some peculiar white powder nearby.
Iâve seen this powder before, near your granary."
Upon hearing this, Mu Mianmianâs eyes widened in shock. Clutching her stomach, she trembled as she searched for the antidote on her body and angrily accused.
"So youâre the one who stole my stuff from the granary!! Are you used to obtaining things effortlessly? Despicable scoundrel!"
"How can you call it stealing? No one wanted it, so I openly took it. And besides, the food in there was grown on the Wolf Clanâs territory, so how does it belong to you?"
Mu Mianmian couldnât care about these things anymore. She endured the severe pain and overwhelming urge to vomit, thoroughly searching herself but couldnât find the antidote.
With that, she shakily stood up, glaring at Jiang Lai with reddened eyes.
"I wonât let you get away with this!"
After speaking, she turned to leave, her shaky steps appearing exceedingly comical.
Jiang Lai watched her leave in a sorry state. At this moment, Ayuan stepped forward, speaking in a low voice.
"Weâve caught all of them, and weâve retrieved all the items."
"Alright, you and the old leader divide the items, give a little to those with severe poisoning symptoms. Ignore those with milder symptoms."
Initially, this toxin was extracted by Mu Mianmian from toxic mushrooms. As long as we find a way to clear the stomach and then drink some Spiritual Spring Water to restore some energy, the toxin would be nothing to fear.
Ayuan didnât ask further, taking the items scavenged from Mu Mianmian and went to find the old leader.
Meanwhile, Mu Mianmian stumbled back to her territory after being poisoned. The Tiger Clan leader, waiting in front of the wooden house, was about to say something but was pushed aside by her, then she impatiently rushed into the wooden house, opened the cover hidden under the floorboards, and reached inside.
But, she grabbed nothing.
Her expression froze, and she quickly reached further down with force.
Still, she grabbed nothing.
She frantically searched the entire jar, her hand reaching all the way to the bottom, finding it empty.
"How could this happen... Whatâs going on, whereâs my antidote?"
She lifted the entire plank, hurled the jar to the ground forcefully, and the once filled jar was now completely empty!
Before she could ponder further, the intensifying nausea made her collapse onto the ground, vomiting uncontrollably. As she retched, her limbs began to go numb, her head felt heavy as if struck.
So uncomfortable, truly uncomfortable, this feeling is worse than death!
The Tiger Clan leader outside ran in, shocked at the sight, quickly attempting to lift her.
But as soon as he picked her up, Mu Mianmian couldnât control herself and began to retch violently again.
Unlike the starving Beast Clan members, she always ate well and fully, so her vomit was excessively abundant.
An indescribable sour and foul odor covered her body. The Tiger Clan leader furrowed his brows but still carried her to the stream for a wash.
"No, donât come any closer, water..."
Before she could finish speaking, Mu Mianmian immediately started vomiting her heart out again, this time not just vomit, but crimson blood as well.
"Iâm poisoned... My antidote, my antidote has been stolen."
Not only does she carry the antidote with her, but her wooden house had so much hidden, now all gone!
At this moment, a person flashed in Mu Mianmianâs mind.
"Alai, itâs her, she stole my antidote!!"
After speaking, another wave of vomiting ensued.
After several bouts, Mu Mianmian was ashen-faced, her lips devoid of color.
She was in such pain throughout her body that death seemed preferable, tears continuously falling.
Mixed with the vomit at the corners of her mouth and the yellow bile, along with that resentful, venomous expression made the Tiger Clan leader involuntarily feel a bit of repulsion in his heart.
"Are you poisoned too? What about the antidote? Canât you treat yourself?"
Mu Mianmian clutched the clothing of the Tiger Clan leader desperately, her eyes filled with relentless hate and anger, almost burning out.
"Didnât you want me to forgive you? Iâll give you this chance... The New Tribe leader has harmed me repeatedly, help me get revenge. Help me get revenge, and Iâll forgive you!"
Mu Mianmian was completely consumed by hatred.
She thought she was patient and polite while reasoning with that modern waste, repeatedly giving chances to accept her. And in the end?
The other party stole her food and her antidote!
Pushing her towards death!
The Tiger Clan leader felt deeply distressed seeing Mu Mianmian like this.
After all, he truly liked her, otherwise, he wouldnât have abandoned his spouse to find her when he became a leader.
"Alright, rest assured, Iâll definitely avenge you!"
"I know, youâve always kept me in your heart. Actually, I... have always thought of you too."
Mu Mianmian was about to faint after speaking, but just as she was about to close her eyes, a wave of nausea sharper than ever swept away all her drowsiness.
"Urghâ!!"
This time, she almost vomited out all her internal organs.
So uncomfortable, truly uncomfortable, she simply couldnât bear it!
The antidote had been fully stolen, making new ones wasnât possible in time. Mu Mianmian knew sheâd surely die like this.
Right now, she needed to detoxify, she had to make Jiang Lai pay the price.
