Yun Zhi Yue was tending to Mo Ran's wounds in the room, while Mo Li had been summoned by the clan leader to inquire about Kong Yu Zhi Wang and Yan Lue's intentions for coming here. Even without having seen the plants before, she could discern their medicinal properties. Ever since she became the High Priestess, the Mo Family Brothers' place had practically turned into a clinic, with no shortage of herbs.
She crushed the herbs and applied a thick layer to Mo Ran's forehead, then wrapped it with silk strips. "Does it hurt?" Yun Zhi Yue asked, gently rubbing Mo Ran's cheek.
Mo Ran shook his head, his hand brushing against her cheek in return, filled with concern. "You coughed up blood. Where are you hurt?"
"I'm fine. You know I am protected by the forest; it will heal all my injuries. Don't worry."
"Protected by the forest? If it weren't for Shi Ye blocking Xia Tian's lightning for you, you would have been shattered on the spot. You can wield Wood Spirit Power because that's your soul quality; according to the rules, you are akin to the forest vegetation. But if you were to unleash Underworld Power, that would be another matter entirely. It would signal to the rules that there's a problem with you, and they wouldn't hesitate to strike you down."
Yun Zhi Yue pressed her lips together; she understood this logic well enough. Otherwise, in previous dimensions, she would have already taken action against Yue Qi. She shouldn't have acted just now, but seeing her two little snakes injured had ignited a fury within her that she couldn't suppress.
During this time spent together, she had felt quite happy. Beastmen were far more sincere than humans; there was no need for pretense between them—what needed to be said was said, and their relationship progressed rapidly. Upon seeing the blood, her anger flared up, and she couldn't care less about anything else.
Comforting the Reincarnation Stone in her heart, Yun Zhi Yue nestled in Mo Ran's embrace, thinking that she didn't want to consider that bastard would not let her off easily. She had to crush him down before she could find peace.
"Mo Ran," she asked, "is the Beast King's territory far from the Serpent Clan?"
"Not far," he replied. "Are you thinking of having Beast King Xiong Lie deal with Yan Lue? That's unlikely. Although Kong Yu and Qing Tower have engaged in many battles, if they were to go all out against each other, both sides would suffer heavy losses. Whether it's Yan Lue or Xiong Lie, they can accept war but cannot afford a decisive battle. If you stir things up over at Xiong Lie's place, he is likely to protect you but won't go to war with Yan Lue."
Yun Zhi Yue nodded in understanding; it seemed that leveraging power against power wouldn't work after all. However, Yan Lue was evidently stronger than Mo Li and Mo Ran combined. She couldn't intervene every time; what if they came looking for her again next time?
Perhaps sensing her thoughts, Mo Ran gently stroked her head to soothe her. "Don't be afraid. When Yan Lue left, his flames were dimmed, indicating he was injured. Once he recovers and Qing Tower enters winter, neither Flying Beasts nor Beastmen will venture out. The winter in Azure Tower Continent is harsh; many races perish in the bitter cold. We will have plenty of time to think of a solution. It's also possible that Yan Lue will suffer losses and won't return."
Yun Zhi Yue nodded in agreement, knowing that while she might be able to delay things for a moment, this was far from over. As Mo Ran had mentioned, the Serpent Clan Leader was not overly concerned about Yan Lue with the harsh winter approaching, and later summoned her for a lengthy reassurance.
Ever since the last time the Eagle Tribe attacked and she had lent her assistance, followed by treating everyone's injuries with herbal medicine, her reputation within the Serpent Clan had soared. Even those within the clan who had initially looked down on her now referred to her as the High Priestess.
The position of High Priestess was reserved for those of great virtue and respect within the clan, a mark of honor that she truly deserved, as she genuinely considered herself a part of the Serpent Clan.
On this day, as Mo Li and Mo Ran set out for hunting, she planned to take the herbs she had just gathered to wash them by the creek before laying them out to dry.
