CHAPTER 245: CHAPTER 236 SI YAN DEVELOPS A WITCHCRAFT MEDICINE_1

...

Four adorable little snake beastmen stared at the white orb of light surrounding Si Yan. The orb seemed less tranquil than before.

Bei Ji called out anxiously, "Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, look! Is Mom about to be released?"

Dongchi, his small face also tense, said, "I don’t know, but it seems like it might be soon."

Xi Qing lifted his innocent, adorable little face to Jin Tong. "Uncle Jin Tong," he asked, "is my mom going to come out?"

Jin Tong was somewhat puzzled. "Something seems off," he murmured.

"What’s off? Where is it off?" Bei Ji asked nervously.

Jin Tong said, "It looks like... the inheritance power might not be enough... The inheritance world could be unstable."

Nan Mo looked at him, his own small face tense. The sight made Jin Tong’s heart soften with love and a touch of distress.

My nephew is so adorable, Jin Tong thought. I just want to scoop him up and comfort him.

He reassured the four little ones, "Don’t worry! The Beast God’s power isn’t harmful. No matter what, my sister... ah no, I mean your mom, is very safe!"

"She should be coming out soon."

Thinking this, Jin Tong’s mood, just like the four little ones’, surged with excitement.

...

Another twenty-odd days passed, and it was nearly the time Bai Feng had predicted.

However, Si Yan had still made no progress.

During this time, she dedicated herself to researching witch medicine.

She had grown a lot.

Being a Priest in this world wasn’t easy, nor was being a deity.

When you hold a position, you must bear its responsibilities.

She immersed herself in researching witch medicine for a long time. Throughout it all, She Wang, the young snake beastman, remained faithfully by her side, silently accompanying her.

With long-term concentration on developing witch medicine, Si Yan gradually entered a special state.

This state granted her a certain affinity, allowing her to communicate with the green plants around her.

Wisps of green energy were already emanating from her hands.

The young man quickly realized this was a Special Ability!

She is truly intelligent; her talent is immense, he thought.

Si Yan’s hands sorted through the herbs with increasing fluidity. Every movement possessed the grace of flowing clouds.

"Si Yan." She Wang’s heart quivered slightly.

During this time, he had often wondered: what if, that year on the Day of the Blazing Sun in Myriad Beasts City, when he was six, he hadn’t left alone? What if he had understood all her suffering in time and taken her away from that lonely city? If he had kept her by his side, grown up with her... his past would surely not have been so lonely. He would have protected her, kept her safe.

His slender, elegant hands gently touched her head.

"You’re amazing."

He sincerely thought she was amazing, excellent, resilient, and strong.

Si Yan lifted her head. Studying the medicine for so long had made her facial expression a little stiff.

Yet, even that stiff expression was incredibly endearing to the young snake beastman.

"Ah! I’ve got it!" Si Yan exclaimed, a sudden understanding dawning on her.

A green aura appeared in her hands—her Wood-based Ability.

It was as if she had a deeper understanding of the plants before her now, as if she could hear them speak just by looking at them.

"Wang! I think I’m beginning to understand!"

She had been researching for a long time, just a step away from the final breakthrough.

And this final step, her Special Ability had delivered it to her!

As if struck by an epiphany, Si Yan quickly began to mix the herbs, then arranged them together.

"Right, right, that’s it."

"That’s it!" Her excitement mounted.

"Wang!! I found the herb mixture to cure the plague!!"

The plants in her hands could talk! She could clearly feel them communicating with each other.

Excitedly, Si Yan quickly measured out a dose of the medicine.

She effortlessly brewed them into witch medicine.

She had She Wang take it out to several infected beastmen.

After all, this was witch medicine she had painstakingly developed for nearly two months. The young snake beastman dared not be careless. He personally watched as several infected White Eagle Beastmen drank the witch medicine.

Once they had drunk the medicine, She Wang carefully observed their physical reactions.

Working late into the night, the young purple snake beastman returned to the tree hollow. Si Yan’s dark, clear eyes sparkled as she looked at him.

She asked expectantly, "Is there any improvement?"

The corners of the little snake beastman’s lips curled into a smile. His voice was clear, "They’re much better!"

Si Yan’s spirits instantly lifted, and her heart pounded—THUMP, THUMP. Her small face flushed with excitement.

"I’ll go have a look!"

She hurried down the wooden ladder and, too eager to wait, jumped down the last two or three steps. Once on the ground, she excitedly ran to the beastmen who had taken the medicine.

These beastmen had been gravely ill, barely breathing. Their only option had been to drink Si Yan’s witch medicine. Now, they were actually sitting up, chatting spiritedly.

Si Yan rushed over, her small face flushed with excitement. "How do you all feel?" she asked.

A White Eagle Beastman said excitedly, "Miss Si Yan, we feel much better!"

The one with milder symptoms even ran and jumped on the spot. "I feel like I’m already cured!"

Perhaps because their health was improving and their spirits were high, one beastman actually stepped forward and proposed to Si Yan on the spot.

"Miss Si Yan, you saved my life! I am willing to become your male. Would you accept me? I can wait for you to grow up!"

In an instant, an overwhelming, icy chill swept through the area.

The beastman who had just proposed trembled all over. He looked at the young snake beastman standing nearby with trepidation.

Then, he fearfully lowered his head.

It was as if the earlier proposal had never happened.

Si Yan, completely oblivious to what had just transpired, was a bit stunned.

The young snake beastman stepped forward and possessively pulled her into his arms.

He gave a warning glance to the male who had just proposed.

Then, as if nothing had happened, he smiled at Si Yan and said, "It’s late, let’s go back."

"Okay!"

...

Back in the tree hollow, the thought that the world could be saved filled Si Yan with renewed energy, and she immediately busied herself again.

The young snake beastman stepped forward to help her. "You definitely can’t handle all this alone," he said, assisting her. "You can ask Bai Shou to summon the Witch Doctors from all the major tribes. Let them do the work."

Si Yan thought it made a lot of sense.

"I’ll teach some Witch Doctors first, and then they can teach other Witch Doctors. If it’s passed down from one Witch Doctor to another, the task will be much more manageable."

"Exactly." A smile touched the young snake beastman’s lips.

He playfully tapped her little nose. "Clever Yan."

Seeing the dark circles under her eyes, the young snake beastman spoke softly, "Clever Yan, it’s time to sleep."

Si Yan started, "But—"

A rare, gentle smile softened the young snake beastman’s usually indifferent face, lending it an unfamiliar warmth.

He said, "The rest can wait until tomorrow."

The young snake beastman scooped her up in his arms.

Despite Si Yan’s flailing protests, the little snake beastman carried her to the wooden bed.

Si Yan stopped struggling and looked up at the young snake beastman before her.

"Sleep. I’m here to watch over you, there’s no need to worry."

"Mhm," Si Yan obediently turned over, and he covered her with the beast-skin blanket.
