Ten days passed before Vigo’s wounds finally scabbed over.
Ning Luo thought about the herbs Tang Guo had applied before. Back then, the wounds had almost scabbed over and shed within just a few days. She hesitated for a moment, then still went to find Tang Guo.
“No.”
“Ah Guoguo, please help Vigo. He is in so much pain right now.”
Tang Guo shook her head. “Ning Luo, it is not that I refuse to help you. I am afraid of treating him to death. After all, his earlier suffering was caused by my lack of care.”
“Ah Guoguo, as a member of the tribe, are you really going to stand by and watch Vigo suffer?” Black Wolf could no longer stand seeing Ning Luo cry. His voice was cold as he spoke to Tang Guo.
Tang Guo spread her hands. “Is Vigo a member of our tribe?”
“Didn’t I save him before?”
“Was it me who caused his suffering?”
She looked at Black Wolf with a smiling expression. “Chief, you should understand that I am not the High Priest. I cannot decide matters of life and death. Helping Vigo was something you all forced on me. I refused from the very beginning. It was only because you kept begging that I reluctantly helped.”
“Now that he is no longer in danger of dying, you want me to help relieve his pain. I am scared. What if my hand slips and his injuries worsen? You would probably hate me to death.”
Ning Luo remembered how Tang Guo had applied medicine without cleaning the wound. She hesitated as well and tugged on Black Wolf’s sleeve. “Then forget it, Chief. I am also afraid that something might go wrong with Vigo.”
“Mm.”
Tang Guo watched the two of them leave together. Her smile carried a hint of mockery. “How boring.”
Vigo’s wounds took more than half a month of torment before they fully scabbed over. For the time being, he could not participate in combat, or the wounds might tear open again.
Rumors also began spreading in the tribe. People said that it was all because of Ah Guoguo’s carelessness that Vigo had suffered so much. In short, everyone was criticizing Ah Guoguo. Within a couple of days, there were even rumors that Ah Guoguo had deliberately tormented Vigo.
The reason, they said, was that Ning Luo’s excellence had attracted the tribe’s strongest warrior, Black Wolf.
When Vigo had mostly recovered, Ning Luo accepted both Gaien and Vigo. At the same time, Aimo, Ming Jiu, and Black Wolf could no longer hold back and all confessed their feelings to her.
There were many tribe members present when the three of them confessed, and they all heard it clearly.
Facing these powerful men, all of whom liked her sincerely and looked at her with such focused gazes, Ning Luo’s face flushed.
However, she already had Vigo and Gaien. She was extremely conflicted and felt that her thoughts were not quite right. Her heart was full of struggle.
The three of them also stated that they would not force her. As long as she did not reject their pursuit, that was enough. Only then did Ning Luo reluctantly accept.
This made it clear to the rest of the tribe that Aimo, Gaien, and Black Wolf were basically Ning Luo’s mates.
Five powerful and handsome males liking Ning Luo at the same time made the other females in the tribe feel bitter.
Especially those females who liked Aimo and Gaien, their gazes toward Ning Luo were no longer innocent. As for Black Wolf, no female felt worthy of him. Instead, they thought it was only natural for him to choose Ning Luo.
In their eyes, Ning Luo was more outstanding than Ah Guoguo and also easier to get along with.
In short, they both disliked and liked Ning Luo.
Because Black Wolf confessed to Ning Luo, more people became convinced that Ah Guoguo had taken revenge on Vigo because Ning Luo had taken Black Wolf from her.
Ning Luo seemed to think so as well. Later on, she became much colder toward Tang Guo.
In the time that followed, Ning Luo gradually adapted to life in the beastman world. Drawing on her memories of modern daily necessities, she slowly brought changes to the tribe.
