Chapter 119

Xie Juanhan said to Telingewei, "The sound in your chest doesn't seem quite right?"

Telingewei listened for a moment and said, "He's sick."

Xie Juanhan looked up at Moli: "Why didn't you say you were sick?"

Xie Juanhan guessed that the forest fire had frightened these furry creatures a bit.

During the firefighting process, they were exposed to the scorching heat of the flames, followed by large amounts of water vapor and cold air.

The combination of hot and cold weather, along with emotional stress, makes it normal to get sick.

Xie Juanhan pressed his head against Nibote's furry chest again. "If you're sick, you need to see a doctor."

Moli licked her nose, looking a little nervous.

Nibote stood there smugly, his eyes clear, seemingly oblivious to everything he'd heard, yet quite pleased with himself.

Harper and the others' expressions changed slightly.

It's rare to see them with such furry faces; when they frown, their brows bulge out.

Xie Juanhan looked at them. "You don't mean you don't want to see a doctor, so you're not saying anything, do you?"

Harper and the others immediately looked up at the sky and then at the ground, but avoided looking at Xie Juanhan.

Xie Juanhan was speechless. "You don't need to get injections here, what are you afraid of?"

Harper whispered that the pills were bitter, "Chirp."

Telingewei: "If you swallow it quickly, it won't be bitter."

The furry creatures are sick, and it's uncertain how long it will take for them to recover on their own.

The two dragons took them to see a doctor.

It was only at this time that Xie Juanhan learned that the Water Demon also worked as a veterinarian.

The gentle, silent Water Demon checked on each of the furry creatures, then gestured to Xie Juanhan and Telingewei to indicate that the situation was not serious.

Xie Juanhan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that there are no major problems. Thank you for your hard work."

The Water Demon presented them with a pottery jar and a short note attached to it.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei both looked down at the short note.

The note said to take the pills three times a day: once at sunrise, once at sunset, and once when the sun is at its zenith.

Taking medicine three times a day is not unusual.

Only--

Xie Juanhan peered into the earthenware jar, which was filled with brown pills the size of eggs.

The pills also emitted an indescribable fishy and bitter smell, with a slight hint of sweetness, making for a very complex aroma.

Xie Juanhan lowered his head.

Harper and the others had a bitter look on their faces, with a small, round lump of flesh bulging on their heads where their eyebrows should be.

Xie Juanhan understood why they didn't want to take the medicine.

Such a large pill is indeed a bit difficult to swallow in one gulp.

If you bite into it, the pill will definitely stick to your teeth.

At this moment, Xie Juanhan's sympathy reached its peak.

In the distant past, the little White Dragon, who was sick and taking Chinese medicine pills, seemed to be looking at this group of unlucky furry creatures through time and space.

It seems that medicine in any world tastes terrible.

Telingewei was impartial and personally supervised each little one to take their medicine.

Xie Juanhan couldn't help them cheat, so he could only pour honey water on them.

After they finish eating, drinking some honey water should make them feel much better.

As long as you don't burp, the medicine flavor will rise to the surface.

Otherwise, they would know what it means to have a mouth that is sweet, bitter, and fishy—a feeling that would make any beast want to vomit.

The Water Demon have lived in the Magic Forest for a long time and have some knowledge of food and medicine.

The furry creatures took the medicine and their health improved.

Xie Juanhan had just breathed a sigh of relief and was planning to cook a big meal for the furry creatures to make up for it.

As he prepared to cook a big meal, he casually reached for the furry creatures' food bowls to wash them.

As a result, several round pills with teeth marks were found at the bottom of the food bowl.

"Telingewei?" Xie Juanhan summoned the dragon.

Hearing the commotion, the furry creatures that were sleeping and playing in various parts of the cabin ran to the other end of the corridor, stretched their necks, and stuck out their butts to look at Xie Juanhan.

Telingewei walked over and looked at the food bowl.

With just one glance, Telingewei understood what had happened.

It's a pill.

Harper and the others spat the pills into Nibote's food bowl.

They certainly didn't want to waste anything, but they couldn't eat it, so they eventually carried the medicine to Nibote's food bowl.

Telingewei looked up at the furry creatures who were observing, and said in a low voice, "You guys seem to cherish things quite a bit?"

The furry creatures bristled the moment they met his gaze. "Chirp!!!"

Several people from Haxi were the first to start running.

Because it ran so fast, its paws slipped, leaving a few paw prints in the corridor with a "click-clack" sound, "Squeak squeak squeak!"

Chapter 119 [VIP]

In the yard, Harper and the others were caught and made to stand in the corner by Telingewei.

Standing in the corner wasn't enough; Telingewei made them stick their rear ends out to hold the basket above them so it wouldn't fall.

It's practically a fluffy version of a plank.

"Eek."

"Ugh."

From Harper to Nibote, all the furry creatures stood in a row against the corner, their butts sticking out and backs bent, glancing at Xie Juanhan with their round eyes.

As they glanced at them, they made soft, whimpering sounds.

Each one sounded more pitiful than the last.

The call didn't bring Xie Juanhan, but instead brought Telingewei.

Telingewei's tall figure cast a shadow.

The shadow fell over Harper and the others.

They instantly fell silent, ceasing their whining and no longer trying to Xie Juanhan, obediently watching the sky, the ground, and the yard.

Habu nervously licked his lips several times.

After the furry creatures finished their punishment, Xie Juanhan casually picked up Hadi, looked at its eyes, nose, and mouth, and then checked the other furry creatures one by one.

They haven't been taking their medicine much these past few days, so they haven't gotten any better and still have runny noses, but they haven't dared to show it in front of Xie Juanhan and Telingewei.

Xie Juanhan pressed his head against Habu's chest, hearing the rattling sounds coming from its chest cavity. He was both amused and annoyed. "You're sick but don't take your medicine. Aren't you uncomfortable?"

Harper chirped, indicating that it would be ready soon.

"Most of the time you'll recover quickly, but occasionally you might get so sick you need a potion," Telingewei said expressionlessly.

Harper and the others fell silent again.

The little ones really didn't like chewing pills, Xie Juanhan, along with Telingewei, secretly approached the Water Demon to try and buy the prescription.

"Let me see how the pills are made. Could you make them a little smaller?"

"If they could swallow it whole, Harper and the others might not hate taking medicine so much."

Xie Juanhan said this.

The Water Demon, having heard their purpose, wrote a short note clearly outlining the medicinal ingredients.

Xie Juanhan took the note and glanced at it. "These are all edible?"

The Water Demon looked at him with puzzled expressions. How could something that couldn't be eaten be made into medicine?

Xie Juanhan: "I thought it would be the kind of medicinal herbs used to brew magic potions."

The Water Demon gestured to indicate that the little ones had only a minor illness and did not require Magic Power particularly powerful medicine.

- It will be uncomfortable.

The Water Demon gestured earnestly, emphasizing the point.

Xie Juanhan, "I didn't mean to use strong medicine on them. I'm just a little surprised that these medicinal herbs are all non-toxic."

Since the Water Demon are providing medicine made from food ingredients, there's more room for maneuver.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei found all the ingredients according to the prescription.

Most of these ingredients come from the Magic Forest. Because they don't taste very good, only the Water Demon collect them and process them into special delicacies.

They don't touch other creatures much.

Xie Juanhan's family now has plenty of food, eating Demonic Beast, monster fish, and vegetables in rotation. It's been a long time since they've eaten these wild vegetables.

They found a large basket, Xie Juanhan directed Telingewei to wash the medicinal herbs clean, preparing to make soup.

"Should we boil these medicines into a thick soup?" Telingewei asked.

"Of course not, making a thick soup would be awful!" Xie Juanhan took out the Demonic Beast's ribs. "Just make a simple clear soup, let Harper and the others drink a couple more bowls."

Xie Juanhan specially placed the animal ribs in a large pot, fried them until golden brown on both sides, and then transferred them to a clay pot. Following the prescription given by the Water Demon, he put various washed medicinal herbs into the clay pot to simmer.

The soup in the clay pot boiled, and a fragrant aroma gradually wafted from the kitchen.

When Harper and the others returned from their patrol, they walked into the house and smelled a familiar yet unfamiliar scent, their eyes filled with confusion.

"Chirp chirp?" The Companion Beast peeked out from the kitchen doorway.

Moli and Nibote also peeked out.

Xie Juanhan turned his head and glanced at them.

They were all sitting obediently outside the kitchen.

That evening, Xie Juanhan and Telingewei not only provided them with vegetables, meat, and grains, but also prepared a large bowl of creamy, fragrant animal rib soup for each of the little guys.

Xie Juanhan released cold air, bringing the soup to the perfect drinking temperature.

Harper and the others sniffed it and tentatively licked it.

After taking a couple of sips, Nibote immediately pressed down on the soup bowl with his two front paws, stuck his head in, and started drinking it with a "plop plop" sound.

The same goes for Habu and the other little guys.

Habu and the others weren't keen on taking their medicine, but they fought over the soup like crazy.

Not content with finishing their own soup, they even tried to stick their heads into their companions' soup bowls to steal the other furry soup.

Moli has a good temper, and heads popped up from all directions, all vying for its soup.

Telingewei saw them in the kitchen and smashed them with bones.

Haxi's earlobe was hit and bounced softly.

It stretched out its paws, trying to wipe off the oil from the tips of its ears.
