A promise

Jian Mo patiently recounted her journey there, her experiences in the Xingchu Tribe, the medicinal formulas she had copied and the newly identified herbs, as well as the abundant lunch and magnificent scenery of the ocean.

Wu Jiong added from the side.

Everyone who heard this was speechless.

Qing Kuo: "You guys really made the trip worthwhile."

Jian Mo smiled, her eyes crinkling. "Yes, we gained a lot from this trip. Once we're familiar with this route, everyone can go out and explore too."

Ye Luo's eyes sparkled. "Didn't you say that the people of the Cypress Branch Tribe have already started doing business with other tribes? I think we don't need to wait; if we want to go, we can go this winter, right?"

Jian Mo thought for a moment and said, "Then we'll have to raise Flying-Winged Beast."

The biggest problem with raising Flying-Winged Beast is that these beasts have a huge appetite, and people don't have a great need to ride Flying-Winged Beast around, so the cost of raising them outweighs the benefits.

If you plan to go out to do business, raising Flying-Winged Beast is essential; you can't always rely on the fat chicks of the Cypress Branch Tribe to carry you around.

Ye Luo: "Let me find out. If we really want to raise one, we'll probably have to send it here so that Jiujiu and Ying'ao can teach it to them."

Jian Mo said, "Let's forget about Jiujiu. Let's see if Ying'ao is willing to teach her."

Jiujiu, who hadn't slept in the middle of the night and had specially come to join the fun outside the crowd, understood what was going on. She poked her head close to Jian Mo and let out a rough, defiant cry, "Heh!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Jian Mo rubbed Jiujiu's big bottom. "Jiujiu's talent isn't in teaching other Flying-Winged Beast; you're good at bringing joy to everyone."

Jiujiu wasn't sure if she understood, but she sensed Jian Mo's gentle movements and happily nuzzled her head against Jian Mo's chest.

Jian Mo quickly pinched the scruff of its neck. "Don't rub against me, you haven't had a bath in ages, there's still grass on your head."

Jiujiu was unhappy, shook its body, and burrowed into Jian Mo's arms. "Jiujiu!"

Everyone laughed again, Qing Kuo said, "Jiujiu is just like a little cub."

Jian Mo pinched Jiujiu's big cheeks. "Jiujiu is getting smarter and smarter."

They chatted in the courtyard until the dew fell and dawn was approaching, then reluctantly yawned and went home.

Qing Kuo and the others had agreed to have a bonfire party that evening to celebrate.

Jian Mo they had been away for a long time, and everyone should get together and have some fun.

Jian Mo and Wu Jiong tidied up the yard briefly, washed their hands, and then went upstairs hand in hand to go to bed.

They had been away for so many days, and although the people accompanying them were all very capable and they had no problems with food, clothing, and lodging on the road, it was still far less comfortable than being at home.

As soon as Jian Mo climbed into bed, she nestled in Wu Jiong's arms and fell into a deep sleep.

Jane slept until the afternoon, her arms and legs aching from the sleep, before finally waking up.

He got up with a yawn, washed up, and then slowly prepared to go downstairs.

Looking out the window, the leaves outside were completely yellow. It was sunset, and the sunlight gently shone on the treetops. The sky was azure, and birds were flying in formation. The scenery was absolutely beautiful, and Jian Mo's mood was incredibly good.

He gathered his clothes and went downstairs, but to his surprise, he saw Dan Guan sitting in a chair.

Dan Guan seeing Jian Mo, Dan Guan let out a loud "Aww!" and jumped up, exclaiming, "Doctor Jian Mo! I've missed you so much! Can the spots on my body be cured?"

Jian Mo: "Why are you here? I found out about a new treatment, but I'm not sure if it will cure you."

Dan Guan: "I'm willing to try! I heard it from Ya Zheng, who brought the little one from the Mengshui Tribe to class. He said you're back."

Jian Mo: "Then let's go outside, and you can transform back into your beast form for me to see."

Dan Guan immediately replied, "No problem."

Jian Mo: "Wait a minute, I'm holding my stethoscope."

Dan Guan dashed out. "I'll wait for you outside!"

When Jian Mo went out, Dan Guan had already transformed back into his beast form.

His beast form resembles a tiger-cat, and he's been training well lately, with more defined muscles than before. He looks elegant and powerful, but unfortunately, the bald patches on his body are a bit of an eyesore.

Jian Mo him lie on his side. "When I went out to study this time, the witch doctor there said your condition might be tinea versicolor. Let me check to see if that's it?"

The enormous ocelot nodded repeatedly, tucking its long tail under its belly. "Go ahead and inspect it. I'll do whatever you want with it."

Jian Mo: "No need for anything, just lie down and let me hear the sounds from different parts of your body."

Chapter 180 Promise

The enormous ocelot lay on the ground, looking no different from a kitten—except that it tightly covered its belly with its large, furry tail.

Jian Mo him spread his limbs out and crawled all over him, listening carefully to the sounds from every part of him.

Seeing Jian Mo's slightly furrowed brow, the tiger cat let out a meow and cautiously asked, "Doctor Jian Mo, how are you?"

Jian Mo put away her stethoscope. "Your symptoms are indeed those of psoriasis. I'll give you some medication."

The ocelot immediately retracted its claws and stood up abruptly. "Great!"

Jian Mo warned, "It might hurt a little."

The tiger cat nimbly ran to Jian Mo's side. "I'm not afraid of pain, I'm just afraid my fur will never grow back!"

Jian Mo smiled and said, "Then I'll go get your medicine."

Jian Mo made a special note of Dan Guan, and when she came back, she specifically asked Xing Jiu for the black knife grass and white clay used to treat tinea.

He searched his basket and found two kinds of medicine. He carefully weighed them and planned to mix them into powder.

The Xingchu Tribe has a small scale that looks like a balance scale, which is quite accurate, Jian Mo brought it back with him.

Dan Guan transformed back into human form and watched as Jian Mo weighed the medicine with an exquisite little scale. His eyes sparkled with anticipation.

Jian Mo glanced at him and said, "Wait a moment, I need to grind it into powder with a mortar and pestle, then mix it with water."

Dan Guan: "Are there any precautions to take while grinding the powder? If not, I'll do it. I'm strong and I'm not afraid of getting tired!"

Jian Mo: "No, just grind it into a fine powder. It's yours now, I'll go get the cotton cloth."
