Chapter 174.2: Tree Valley (2/2)

So Mu Ye left.

Right after he walked out, he heard a ‘bang’ behind him. The door had been closed, but Shen Moru hadn’t come out.

Mu Ye didn’t know whether what he did was right or not. However, he didn’t dare take risks with Tang Doudou’s life. He found a concealed spot on the tree and sat down to adjust his internal energy. However, his attention didn’t leave that house for a second.

Inside the house, Shen Moru was sitting at the side with his legs crossed and his eyes closed. It was unknown what he was doing.

Meanwhile, Grandma Shen knelt in front of Tang Doudou with a knife and chanted strange words with an expression of reverence. Then she kowtowed towards Tang Doudou.

“Grandma Shen, help treat her injury first. Even more blood is needed for the later parts. If she loses too much blood now and isn’t able to hold up until the end, all that work would have been for nothing.”

Upon hearing this, Grandma Shen’s muddy eyes revealed even more reverence. “Understood, the body must be cleansed before the wounds are to be treated. I’d have to trouble Saint King to withdraw.”

Shen Moru said ‘en,’ then vanished from the room like smoke.

Had a normal person seen this, they’d definitely faint from fright, yet Grandma Shen seemed to treat it as an ordinary sight. She unhurriedly stood up and walked with the crutch to the cupboard. With shaky hands, she pulled out the things for treating injuries, then pulled out some garments and placed them on the ground. After doing this, Grandma Shen called, “Maner, go prepare the medicinal bath.”

A young girl who looked about sixteen rolled out from the dense leaves. She had a chubby baby face. Her mischievous large eyes rove around like that of a doll’s. She spotted Mu Ye who was standing in the shadows with a single look.

Her agate-like eyes immediately lit up. “Hey, man ah-yo! Where did you come from? You’re really good looking! Are you Grandma’s new guest?”

When Mu Ye saw her naive and clear eyes, he was reminded of Tang Doudou’s similar charm and his cold eyes turned a little gentler. He replied softly, “En.”

A bell-like laughed spilled out from the young girl’s lips. “Heehee, I’m Nan Maner. You have to call me Maner, alright-yo? I’m Grandma’s granddaughter-yo. What’s your name?”

“Maner, stop messing around and go prepare the medicinal bath!” Just as she was about to walk forward in order to get a closer look at Mu Ye, Grandma Shen’s displeased voice came from inside the room.

Maner pouted and replied unhappily, then shot Mu Ye a brilliant smile. “I have to help Grandma prepare the medicinal bath first-yo! Man, you have to wait until I come back-yo!”

Mu Ye didn’t reply to her and instead looked towards the vine house. Medicinal bath?

Tang Doudou’s entire body was covered with wounds. Would she be able to endure a medicinal bath?

However, these were clearly things out of his control. Nan Maner did things very quickly. Barely fifteen minutes later, she returned from beneath the tree, carrying an enormous cask. It was covered by a large wooden plank so the medicinal bath inside couldn’t be seen.

However, a strange smell floated out from that cask. Mu Ye sniffed. This scent was a little familiar but he couldn’t recall what it was.

Although Nan Maner’s face was plump, her figure was abnormally petit. The black robe was too wide for her so she tied it up with rope, revealing a little waist that was the size of a palm. It was hard to imagine how she was capable of carrying this cask up with her slender arms and legs.

Even he, this large man, would probably have to use a lot of energy. After all, this place was quite far from the ground.

However, she wasn’t moving slowly either. When she finished climbing up, she put the cask down and pushed a cart out from the room. Placing the cask on the cart, she hopped as she pushed it into the room.

In the blink of an eye, she pushed the empty cart out again.

When she got outside the room, she tilted her head to think. Afterwards, she discovered that Mu Ye was staring at her the entire time and a bashful expression immediately appeared on her delicate face. “Man, you still haven’t told me your name yet-yo.”
