Chapter 24: A Long Night

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was night.

Chen Rong returned to the beast lair from the White Lake.

“Huh?” Chen Rong entered the room and was slightly surprised to see Chang Xia’s bright eyes. He said in surprise, “Chang Xia, why aren’t you asleep?”

When he asked, there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

Aren’t you tired from the last two days?

Chang Xia waved her hand and said casually, “Don’t think too much. Come… sit.”

She raised her hand and gently patted the vine curtain beside her. She gestured for Chen Rong to sit so that she could examine his body.

However, this action caused Chen Rong to misunderstand.

Instantly, Chen Rong’s pale face turned red, and his neat steps suddenly froze. He pinched the bridge of his nose uneasily and said softly, “Chang Xia, now… is not the right time. Why don’t we wait?”

“Wait, wait for what?” Chang Xia looked at Chen Rong in confusion.

Why didn’t she understand this? She just wanted to check Chen Rong’s body. What was there to wait for? Besides, there was no better time to check his body.

Suddenly, her gaze landed on Chen Rong.

Chang Xia suddenly understood.

Cough cough—

She cleared her throat and her cheeks flushed.

“Chen Rong, what were you thinking? I asked you to come over to check on your body. I didn’t mean anything else,” Chang Xia explained.

Both of them felt weak.

For the time being, those inappropriate thoughts were not good for thinking.

Chen Rong stiffened.

His handsome face was stained with embarrassment.

With it came a faint sense of loss.

“Check my body?” Chen Rong was surprised. He walked to the vine curtain where Chang Xia was sitting cross-legged, then sat down like Chang Xia. He hesitated. “You learned witchcraft from a shaman?”

“A long illness can heal itself,” Chang Xia said calmly.

In the apocalypse, she was a famous nanny. In this life, she had been sick for more than ten years. What Chang Xia knew the most among the plants in Twilight Forest was none other than various herbs. Just thinking about it made her heart ache.

“I grew up weak and bedridden. I ate more pills than I ate barbecue.”

The more she said, the more bitter Chang Xia felt.

She actually felt that even her body smelled of medicine.

Fortunately, her clansmen did not despise her for being a medicine jar.

“How pitiful!” Chen Rong smiled and raised his hand to rub Chang Xia’s head a few times. “How do you want to check me?”

Every shaman had a different method of seeing a patient.

Chen Rong looked at Chang Xia and asked. Chang Xia had been picked up by the shaman and brought to the Heluo tribe. In a way, she was the child of the shaman. Perhaps the shaman had taught her some sorcery.

Therefore, Chen Rong was not averse to having Chang Xia check his body.

“Give me your hand—” Chang Xia began.

Chen Rong held out his hand to Chang Xia.

Chang Xia reached out and placed her hand on Chen Rong’s pulse. A trace of wood-type superpower silently seeped into Chen Rong’s body. According to Chang Xia’s understanding of the beast race, her wood-type superpower should be a bloodline ability.

When the beast race activated their bloodline abilities, users were called totem warriors.

The bloodline ability of the Heluo tribe was strength.

Basically, the bloodline ability of the beast race was power.

Birds were usually fast, while fish controlled water. Of course, there were exceptions.

The shaman was that exception.

The shaman’s powers were similar to Chang Xia’s.

The beasts called the shaman’s power wizardry.

The shaman didn’t tell Chang Xia the details, so she had a general idea.

As the most powerful beast tribe in the Twilight Forest, the Heluo Tribe had hundreds of totem warriors. These totem warriors had awakened their bloodline abilities. By increasing their strength, they could fight the ferocious beasts in the Twilight Forest with their bare hands.

At the same time, there was a brown crystal in the totem warrior’s body.

This crystal was called a beast crystal, meaning a gift from the Beast God.

“The beast crystal turned gray.” Chang Xia looked at Chen Rong in surprise. Chen Rong was a totem warrior. She wasn’t surprised.

In the tribe, all the people like Nan Feng and Ya Dong who she had come into contact with were totem warriors.

Even the underage Luo Qing was a totem warrior. Luo Qing had established his identity as the successor of the shaman at a young age because of his talent.

“You know sorcery?” Chen Rong was shocked.

Could Chang Xia be a shaman?

But why didn’t the Heluo tribe know?!

Chang Xia shook her head gently and explained, “This is my bloodline ability. It’s different from a shaman’s ability.” She didn’t want to be mistaken for a shaman, let alone live in a corner of the Wizard Hall. So in front of her clansmen, Chang Xia had never shown this uniqueness.

“This poison of yours is ferocious. What poison is it?”

“Bug poison. A poison never encountered before and corrosive.”

As soon as Chen Rong used his bloodline ability, the insect poison would constantly devour his body. However, it was thanks to this poison that he could leave the Tianyuan Tribe.

His father, Yuan Hou, was from the Tianyuan tribe.

The Tianyuan Tribe was the strongest tribe in the Western Continent. At the same time, it was also one of the most warlike tribes. The Tianyuan Tribe was ambitious and wanted to unify the Western Continent.

When he was young, Yuan Hou traveled to the Eastern Continent and entered the Twilight Forest. He accidentally met Chen Rong’s mother, Xing Ya, and the two fell in love and gave birth to Chen Rong.

Chen Rong’s birth was atavistic and he inherited the strongest bloodline of the Tianyuan tribe—the Fighting Wolf bloodline. Yuan Hou came from the Tianyuan tribe’s Yuan family and was a noble. The nobles valued bloodlines the most. Yuan Hou was overjoyed at Chen Rong’s birth and immediately decided to bring Xing Ya and her son back to the Tianyuan tribe.

Unfortunately, Xing Ya was exhausted.

When Yuan Hou recovered from the birth of Chen Rong, Xing Ya had lost too much blood and died.

Filled with grief, Yuan Hou bade farewell to the beast tribe where Xing Ya was and left the Twilight Forest with Chen Rong. That was why Chen Rong said that he was from the Twilight Forest. This was his hometown. Compared to the warlike Western Continent, Chen Rong preferred the peaceful Eastern Continent.

“Very domineering!” Chang Xia said sternly.

With that, she looked at Chen Rong curiously and asked, “How did you get poisoned?”

Chang Xia vaguely felt that this insect poison was not simple.

However, she was not a shaman after all, and she did not know much about poison. Chang Xia could not tell what was wrong with him for the time being.

Perhaps she would have to wait for the shaman to come.

She would ask the shaman to check again to determine the cause of the illness before prescribing the right medicine.

“I was played by a villain,” Chen Rong said with a wry smile. His smile was full of complexity and loneliness. Noble families had no shortage of conspiracies.

To be able to leave the Yuan Family and the Tianyuan Tribe was not a bad thing for Chen Rong.

However, it was a pity that he could not see his old friends again. The Western Continent and the Eastern Continent were separated by a vast sea that ordinary people could not cross in their entire lives.

Seeing that Chen Rong was unwilling to say more, Chang Xia did not pursue the matter.

After all, she had seen and encountered everyone in the post-apocalyptic world.

“I’ll use my bloodline powers to help ease the pain. If you want to treat it, you can do it after the shaman’s examination,” Chang Xia said cautiously.

Chen Rong nodded quietly. Soon, the beast crystal felt a warm power.

His body, which had turned cold from the poison, slowly warmed. It was like soaking in hot water, comfortable and satisfying.

“This power is special,” Chen Rong marveled.

Chang Xia was very satisfied with Chen Rong’s praise and said in a low voice, “I was able to live to adulthood because I relied on the power of my bloodline to nourish my body, and of course, the precious medicine of the shaman. The shaman of the beast race is very powerful.”

Even if Chang Xia was a big shot nanny in her previous life.

She was still willing to call the shaman the strongest.

Of course, this also had to do with her lack of understanding of the flora and fauna here in Twilight Forest.
