Chapter 1064: Chapter 1057: Treating the Injuries

"Luo’er!!!" Upon seeing Luo’er and his team return safely, Tangmo couldn’t contain his excitement. He jogged towards Luo’er and, in front of everyone, hugged him tightly.

"Moumou, you..." Faced with Tangmo’s enthusiasm, Luo’er felt at a loss. He had always been shy, and embracing in front of so many people, his ears could hardly stand it.

Thus, everyone witnessed this scene: Luo’er, who had fearlessly conversed and laughed in front of the Wolfman Clan, blushed and turned red the moment a girl hugged him.

"I’ve always told you to be mindful of the influence, but you just never listen..." Luo’er, feeling awkward, pushed her away and then complained in a low voice, his face flushed.

"I’m just worried about you!" Tangmo said, squinting her eyes, already accustomed to Luo’er’s shy complaints.

"Captain Luo’er, these people..." Feron, supported by Tara, walked tremblingly to Luo’er and hesitantly spoke while looking at the Wolfman Clan members.

"These people are the ones who came to the New Continent with you on the Kunzhou all those years ago. Can’t you accept them?" Luo’er asked.

"It’s not that," Feron shook his head, then added worriedly, "It’s just that the village has suffered so many attacks by the Beastmen over the years, so it’s inevitable to have some bad associations with them."

"That makes sense," Luo’er nodded, agreeing with him.

After all, the Wolfman Clan was not as fragile as the rabbit-eared tribe. These people were capable of tearing Beastmen apart with their bare hands, and their average height was noticeably taller than that of the rabbit-eared people. Many from the rabbit-eared tribe even needed their tall ears just to match the height of these Wolfmen, so concerns were inevitably present.

"The village chief need not worry about them. I can personally guarantee they’re not savage like the Beastmen. Many of them are skilled in medicine and can help treat your daily ailments," Luo’er assured, patting his chest.

"It’s not that I’m too worried, so Captain Luo’er, you don’t need to be so formal. Since they were once our compatriots, taking them in is our responsibility," Feron waved his hand and said.

"They will be staying here temporarily. Once the headquarters send people, they will follow you to Lipei to settle down," Luo’er explained.

"Eh, they are going too?" Feron looked at Luo’er, surprised.

"Yes, I’ve discussed it with headquarters. If headquarters agrees, they will also settle in Lipei with you," Luo’er said, turning back to look at the uneasy Wolfman Clan members and then sighed, "After you left Lord Leiyun, it was they who have been protecting Lord Leiyun’s relics to this day."

"Lei, Lord Leiyun, Captain Luo’er, are you saying they have been guarding Lord Leiyun’s relics?" Hearing Luo’er’s words, Feron suddenly became excited, looking at Luo’er with a shocked expression.

"Yes, Lord Leiyun’s relics are lying in the valley," Luo’er nodded and said.

"Then, that, can we, can we go see her?" Feron asked excitedly.

"Ah," Luo’er blinked, then nodded understandingly and said, "If the village chief insists on going, you can communicate with them, and they can take you there. It also avoids accidentally hurting one’s own people."

"Are there other people in the valley?" Feron asked.

"Oh," Luo’er nodded and then said, "Elder Tu Xiu and others haven’t left; they’re still there. They, unlike you, find it hard to be accepted by others, so they can’t make a public appearance as you do."

"Ah, indeed," Feron nodded somewhat shamefully, "After all, even when we see them, we are afraid, let alone the people from the Western Continent."

"Anyway, things will improve once we get to Lipei, not only for you but also for them, being free of discrimination. This is the most definite promise I can give you," Luo’er said.

"With that, Captain Luo’er, you’ve worked hard. Please come to my home to rest. Leave it to me to arrange their stay," Feron said to Luo’er.

"Thank you," Luo’er nodded and replied.

"Don’t say that, Captain Luo’er. After all, they are also our compatriots; it’s our responsibility to take care of them," Feron shook his head and said.

After exchanging a few words with Feron, Luo’er saw Cheng Ziang approaching with a poker face and asked concernedly, "What’s wrong, aren’t you happy to see us return?"

"Sigh, you should be able to tell that I am troubled," Cheng Ziang sighed and said.

"Is it about Feng?" Luo’er asked hesitantly.

"What else could it be?" Cheng Ziang shrugged.

"That guy didn’t say anything?" Luo’er thought of the East Continent person they had captured and asked.

"Humph, stubborn as a mule. I even wanted to peel off his skin to see if he’d confess," Cheng Ziang said gloomily.

"Should I go and scare him again?" At this moment, Fula’jie connected their realms and volunteered.

"Let’s not bother. I guess this guy won’t say anything. Since we have brought some from the Wolfman Clan, some of them should know a bit of medicine. Let them examine Feng; after all, they are all from the East Continent and might understand her condition," Luo’er said.

"Hmm," Cheng Ziang pondered for a moment, then told him, "I’ll continue interrogating that bastard. You all take someone to see her, see if these Wolfman have a way to cure her disease."

"Alright," Luo’er nodded, then spoke into the air, "Fula, follow him, and we’ll check on Feng’s condition."

"Roger!" Fula’jie responded before saying to Cheng Ziang, "Let’s go, Mr. Tsundere!"

"What the hell is Mr. Tsundere, who taught you that?" Cheng Ziang asked.

"It’s that person you called a scumbag," Fula’jie answered.

"Can you two not teach Fula all this nonsense?" Luo’er sighed.

As he watched Cheng Ziang leave, Luo’er then noticed Tangmo, who had been holding onto his arm, gazing at him affectionately, and Luo’er gave a wry smile, looked down at Tangmo, and asked, "How is Feng’s injury?"

"I’m right here, yet you’re worried about another girl," Tangmo pouted, dissatisfied.

"This is not the time to worry about that," Luo’er, nearly choked by her words, sighed.

"Never mind, you should come and see for yourself," Tangmo shrugged.

"Wait," Luo’er stopped her, then turned and spoke to Taran not far away, "Taran, go find a skilled female Wolfman in medicine."

"Oh, okay!" Taran nodded vigorously, then turned and jogged toward the group of Wolfmen.

The two of them entered Feng’s room, where she was still lying in bed, though her complexion seemed much improved. Seeing Luo’er arrive, she excitedly tried to get up from the bed.

"Lie down, don’t move," Luo’er said as he quickly approached the bed and promptly restrained the excited Feng.

Seeing Feng’s eager look, Luo’er seriously said, "I’ll have someone come over to see your condition soon. If they can cure you, that would be great. If not, don’t worry too much. We’ll head back to the base with the Airboat if need be."

Upon hearing mention of returning to the base, although she was mentally prepared, Feng’s bright pupils clouded over, and she gloomily lowered her head.

"Why the long face again, I didn’t say we’re abandoning you," Luo’er comforted her with a wry smile.

Shortly after, Taran brought in a female Wolfman. Seeing the Wolfman, Feng instinctively became alert, her muscles tensing abruptly, but she soon let out a painful groan.

"Didn’t I tell you not to use your magic? Why won’t you listen?" Luo’er said with concern, pressing her down.

Although Feng could forcefully drive magic through damaged meridians—this not only prevented erosion but could enhance the strength of the meridians—the situation now was different. Feng’s primary issue wasn’t damaged meridians but blocked ones; this was the first time the Advance Team had encountered this condition.

The best way to alleviate her symptoms was to unblock her meridians, or nodes in her body. Otherwise, as long as Feng couldn’t unblock the nodes, she wouldn’t be able to use her magic.
