Checkup (continued)

Yun Long smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll take you there."

Yun Long led them to Xing Yuan's new home. Xing Yuan had already transformed back into human form and was entertaining them in his human form.

The little orc was more lively than before, and his eyes looked a little shy, but there was no longer any fear or tension.

Upon seeing Jian Mo and Wu Jiong, he greeted them quietly, "Doctor Jian Mo, Chief Wu Jiong."

Jian Mo patted his little head. "Let me check you over, is there anything else that feels uncomfortable?"

Xing Yuan shook his head vigorously, like a rattle-drum. Jian Mo took out his stethoscope and smiled, "May I take a look?"

Xing Yuan nodded.

Jian Mo listened to his heartbeat and abdominal sounds, and then carefully examined the areas where his skin had previously ulcerated.

His two fathers must have taken good care of him; the ulcers on his skin are no longer visible, and the luster of his skin and nails suggests that he has been doing well recently and should have returned to a normal life.

After examining Jian Mo, Xing Yuan head and told his two fathers that he was recovering well and only needed to get proper nutrition and rest.

The little cub's beast form had its fur shaved off, and when it transformed into human form, its hair was also very short, fluffy, and felt very nice to the touch.

Jian Mo touched it again before saying goodbye and leaving their house.

Once outside, Jian Mo said to Yun Long, "I'd like to see Qi Xia again. Where does he live?"

Yun Long: "Qi Xia? What happened to him?"

Jian Mo waved her hand. "I'd like to ask him for help with something medical, but I don't know if it would be convenient for him?"

Yun Long: "It's convenient, come with me."

Yun Long then took them to find Qi Xia.

Qi Xia was about to go hunting with the Mengshui Tribe when they blocked his way at his doorstep, and his expression instantly turned sour.

Qi Xia: "Jian, Doctor Jian Mo, Chief Wu Jiong, Chief."

After calling out to everyone, Qi Xia asked in a low voice, "Did you need something from me?"

Jian Mo, wearing a mask, said, "I have a medical problem I'd like to ask for your help with. Can we talk about it privately?"

Qi Xia's ears turned slightly red. "Of course, let's chat inside."

Qi Xia scurried into the house, his hands and feet clattering together, with Jian Mo following behind.

Yun Long looked at Wu Jiong, who had stayed behind with him, and asked with a smile, "I'm really curious, does Doctor Jian Mo have any medical questions to ask?"

Wu Jiong said calmly, "You'll find out when you ask Qi Xia."

Yun Long: "Doctor Jian Mo said he wanted to talk to me alone, so it would be a bit pointless for me to ask again."

Wu Jiong: "It's nothing serious."

Yun Long laughed again, "If it were something important, they wouldn't dare hide it from me. But speaking of which, Doctor Jian Mo is truly trusted by everyone."

Wu Jiong: "He deserves it."

Wu Jiong's every word sounded like a closing statement, and even Yun Long, who was good at chatting, couldn't continue the conversation. He had no choice but to shut up and stand outside the door with him, waiting.

When she was really bored, Yun Long preferred to look at the clouds rather than chat with Wu Jiong.

Jian Mo didn't ask anything while inside the house, only inquiring whether the orc whose lower body had been soaked in moss had recovered.

After receiving a positive answer, he asked Qi Xia to relay a message that he should keep a close eye on the situation and seek medical attention at the Riverside Tribe immediately if anything seemed amiss.

Don't let shyness delay such an important matter that affects your lifelong happiness.

Qi Xia nodded repeatedly, not daring to utter a sound.

Jian Mo didn't know what else to say, but she gave him a few more words of advice and said goodbye.

Qi Xia felt as if he had been granted a pardon. After leaving the house, he said goodbye to Yun Long and Wu Jiong, and then ran off in a flash.

I reckon he'll be out hunting today and won't be back until at least evening.

Jian Mo watched his figure disappear, then took off her mask and put it away; wearing a mask all the time was rather stuffy.

Yun Long greeted them, "Aren't you in a hurry to go back? Why don't you come to my house for some tea?"

Yun Long learned about tea drinking from the Riverside Tribe.

Jian Mo shook her head. "I won't drink the tea. I've been quite busy lately. Since it's still early, we can get some work done when we get back."

Yun Long smiled and said, "Thank you for making this special trip."

Jian Mo: "It's nothing. If I hadn't made this trip, I would have felt uneasy having this on my mind."

As they were chatting, someone called out from behind, "Doctor Jian Mo-- "

It was an unfamiliar voice. After making a preliminary judgment in her mind, Jian Mo turned her head to look.

Sure enough, a strange orc ran towards them.

The orc with slightly dark skin and a handsome face ran up to them and greeted them in one breath, "Doctor Jian Mo, Chief Yun Long, Chief Wu Jiong-- "

Jian Mo nodded. "What's wrong?"

Orc: "I am Shao Yuan from the True Scarlet Tribe. I just came to exchange some things and happened to hear that you Doctor Jian Mo, are here. I would like to ask you to take a look at my partner. My partner is pregnant, but it's still early in the pregnancy."

Jian Mo immediately replied, "Congratulations!"

Shaoyuan smiled honestly, "Didn't you say before that you should pay attention to check-ups when you are pregnant? We just want to ask you to take a look."

It's not easy for orcs and sub-orcs to have offspring. This was the first time Jian Mo had encountered a pregnant man, so he immediately looked at Wu Jiong and Yun Long for their opinions.

Wu Jiong nodded, Yun Long had no objections either.

Yun Long said with great poise, "In that case, let's go to my house for the examination, and have something to eat."

This time Jian Mo didn't refuse. "Thank you for your hard work."

Yun Long: "Of course, we should share in the joy."

Shao Yuan transformed into his beast form and carefully carried his mate Ning Wo over.

Ning Wo, with his cheerful personality, said to Jian Mo and the others, "Actually, it's nothing. Shao Yuan is just too nervous."

Jian Mo said earnestly, "It's good to be a little nervous. Shao Yuan is a responsible partner."

Ning Wo glanced at Shao Yuan; the two seemed to be enjoying each other's company.

Jian Mo asked Wu Jiong and Yun Long outside so that Ning Wo could be examined indoors.

Ning Wo had only been pregnant for a little over a month when Jian Mo was able to hear the fetal heartbeat with a stethoscope.
