When Beauty Meets Beasts Novel - Chapter 41

Sang Ye brought ice and snow from outside the cave. He placed it on Lin Huanhuan’s forehead and face, trying to cool her down.

Unfortunately, it was no use. Her temperature was still high.

Sang Ye transformed back into his human form and hugged her.

Snakes were cold-blooded creatures to begin with. His body temperature was lower than that of an ordinary person. When Lin Huanhuan touched his skin, it was as though someone who had been thirsty for three days finally saw a cup of water.

She quickly climbed up and hugged his body tightly, her cheek gently rubbing against his chest.

It was so cool and comfortable!

Sang Ye quickly reacted to her rubbing. His animal hide dress was stretched so high that it hurt.

If the little female were in a healthy state now, he would definitely pounce on her without hesitation and penetrate her ruthlessly!

But not now. The little female was sick.

Females were all delicate. Sang Ye had seen many females who were unable to recover from their illnesses and were forced to die early when they were young.

He did not want Lin Huanhuan to die. He had to let her live!

Sang Ye ignored his desires and suppressed his shouts. He carefully hugged Lin Huanhuan and pressed his cold body against her, lowering her temperature.

Unknowingly, Sang Ye fell asleep while hugging her.

Sang Ye was woken up by a violent cough.

He opened his eyes and saw that Lin Huanhuan’s cheeks were abnormally red. Her body temperature was fluctuating.

Her eyes were half-open as she coughed hysterically.

Sang Ye quickly took the ice and put it in his mouth. After the ice melted, he kissed her lips and passed the water to her.

Her lips were very soft and slightly sweet.

It made him want to stick his tongue into her mouth and entangle with her tongue.

It was only when Lin Huanhuan was about to suffocate from the kiss that Sang Ye reluctantly let go of her.

The taste of the little female was amazing. Just one taste made him want to tear her apart and devour her.

Sang Ye stared at her wet lips and involuntarily licked the corners of his mouth.

He really wanted her.

He really wanted to tear off her hide dress and press her under him to ravage her!

“Cough, cough, cough!”

Intense coughing interrupted his reverie again.

He saw that Lin Huanhuan’s cough was getting worse.

She even coughed up blood!

Sang Ye immediately panicked.

No matter what the illness was, considering how she was bleeding, it must be very serious!

Was the little female going to die?

Sang Ye helped Lin Huanhuan wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth. He hugged her tightly, afraid that she would disappear in the next moment.

“Don’t die, I beg you!”

Lin Huanhuan leaned into his arms and coughed until she was out of breath. She felt a burning sensation in her lungs.

She guessed that she was suffering from acute pneumonia.

In the past few days, she had been rolling in the snow, drinking ice water, and washing her face with ice and snow. With her weak body, it was only a matter of time before she fell sick.

However, she did not expect this illness to come so suddenly.

Acute pneumonia. In this era without antibiotics, this disease could kill!

While Lin Huanhuan was in a daze, she was still thinking about antibiotics.

As she thought about it, she suddenly thought of something else— Fragrant and crunchy fruits!

The sheepskin book recorded that not only were the crunchy fruits edible, but they could also reduce inflammation and stop bleeding.

If they had anti-inflammatory properties, did it mean they contained antibiotic-like ingredients?

Thinking of this, Lin Huanhuan seemed to have found a chance of survival.

She hurriedly took out the two shriveled fruits from her bag and stuffed them into her mouth.

Before long, she felt the pain in her lungs lessen a little. At least she could speak now.

It seemed that crunchy fruits were useful!

Just two fruits were not enough to cure her illness.

Lin Huanhuan looked at Sang Ye and begged with difficulty, “Can you help me find the crunchy fruits? They can cure my illness.”

Sang Ye was slightly stunned when he heard her words. “Fragrant and crunchy fruits can treat illnesses?!”

Weren’t those sweet and crunchy fruits specially made for females? So they could be used as medicine?!

Lin Huanhuan’s voice was hoarse. “Trust me. Hurry up and look for the crunchy fruits.”

Sang Ye frowned and said, “Your throat must be very uncomfortable. Stop talking.”

Lin Huanhuan shook her head and insisted, “Go find some crunchy fruits. Hurry!”

“Okay, I’ll look for them!”

Sang Ye didn’t waste any more time. He placed the little female on the pile of hay and covered her with thick animal hide. He left a burning fire beside her.

He walked out of the cave and found a huge rock to block the entrance before leaving quickly.

It was midwinter, and snow covered the entire forest. Not to mention crunchy fruits, even a green leaf could be seen.

But the little female had said that the crunchy fruits could save her life.

He had to find the crunchy fruits!

Sang Ye searched all the places where crunchy fruits might grow as quickly as possible, but he found nothing.

He couldn’t find any crunchy fruits in the forest, so he had to look elsewhere.

Sang Ye suddenly remembered that when he was being chased, he had seen a small tribe nearby.

There might be crunchy fruits in that tribe.

Sang Ye immediately moved. After finding the tribe, he rushed in without a word.

It was a boar tribe.

There were only about 30 beasts in the entire tribe, less than a tenth of the Rock Wolf Tribe. However, they were brave and good at fighting. Their combat power was very strong.

Winter had come especially early this year. Their tribe didn’t have a witch doctor who could predict weather changes like Lang Zhu, so they didn’t have time to prepare enough food for winter before it came.

When Sang Ye barged into the tribe, these beasts were worrying about how to save food.

Sang Ye took out the crystal coins he carried with him and placed them in front of the leader of the boar tribe.

“Do you have any crunchy fruits here? I want as many as you have!”

When the boar leader saw the shiny crystal coins, his eyes lit up!

If it were any other time, he would have happily asked someone to take out all the crunchy fruits in the tribe to exchange for these crystal coins!

They were crystal coins, after all. If they were to use the coins at the market, just one crystal coin would be enough to buy a small mountain of crunchy fruits!

But not now.

There was a shortage of food in the tribe to begin with, so the food they had left was not enough for them to survive the winter. Although those crunchy fruits were not very filling, they could at least be eaten!

The boar leader said apologetically, “You can exchange crystal coins for anything in our tribe except food.”

Sang Ye’s expression darkened. “I only want crunchy fruits!”

“No, we refuse to exchange food.”

Sang Ye was annoyed when he saw that the other party refused to agree.

Since the other party refused to sell the crunchy fruits, he could only forcibly snatch them!

Sang Ye suddenly turned into a python, opened his bloody mouth, and swallowed the defenseless wild boar leader into his stomach!

The entire boar tribe went crazy.

Holy shit, the patriarch had been eaten!.
