My Dominating Beast Husband Wants Me

Chapter 78: Plague

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After Tang Guo got pregnant, she really didn’t have any pregnancy symptoms at all. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been pregnant for so long without knowing it herself.

The only change in her was that she craved vegetables and fruits even more.

Although Bai Ye could tell that, even though he knew that she still had a lot of fruits and vegetables stored in her space, he still went to the forest every day to pick the freshest vegetables and fruits for her.

“It’s a fruit from the rainy season. Try it.”

Bai Ye knew that pregnant female beasts in the tribe loved to eat such fruits. He had been watching them for the past two days. When he saw that they were ripe, he immediately went to pick them.

As soon as Tang Guo woke up, he washed it and gave it to her like a treasure.

“Yes! It’s indeed delicious!” Tang Guo tried one. It was sour and sweet and very delicious. It was indeed very appetizing. She was about to eat the second one.

Footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.

Granny Witch Doctor looked anxious. When she saw her eating the sour fruit, she rushed over and cried, “You can’t eat it! Hurry up, throw it away!”

Tang Guo and Bai Ye were both confused. “Granny Witch Doctor, is there a problem with this fruit?”

Tang Guo had a wood-type superpower, so she did not think there was anything wrong with this fruit.

Bai Ye frowned. “I didn’t pick it wrong, did I? I saw that it was loved by many females and cubs.”

“There’s a plague in the tribe!”

Granny Witch Doctor was panting. It was obvious that she had come in a hurry. “The orcs who first had the plague ate this sour fruit!”

Bai Ye’s expression darkened. “I’ve been eyeing this fruit for a long time. The fruit near the tribe only ripened today!”

He had common sense. It would take at least a few days for the plague to appear and spread and be discovered.

Granny Witch Doctor said, “It’s Aayun and Ash. The leader sent them out to hunt and gather. They brought back the fruit that was in question!”

So was this a plague elsewhere that had spread to the Back Cliff tribe?

In primitive societies, plague was a terrifying presence, because medical conditions and technology were backward. The slightest carelessness could lead to complete annihilation.

Tang Guo did not dare to let her guard down. “There’s nothing wrong with these fruits. Granny Witch Doctor, don’t be nervous. Where is the patient? Take me to him.”

Granny Witch Doctor did expect Tang Guo to take a look. After all, she was the Star of Wisdom. If only she could cure this plague!

However, she was already pregnant with a child. If anything happened, it would be a huge loss to the tribe!

Bai Ye disagreed. “No! Don’t you know the plague is terrible? You’re pregnant. You can’t touch patients!”

He did not say anything else and directly ordered, “Lock everyone who is sick in the cave!”

Then, he asked Granny Witch Doctor, “Granny Witch Doctor, please save everyone!”

His decision was the usual way for almost all tribes to deal with the plague. No one felt it was wrong.

In fact, after many people realized that they were sick, they began to take the initiative to leave their families and move into a cave further away.

But Tang Guo did not agree with this approach. She said angrily, “You don’t take human lives seriously!”

“Since the plague was transmitted through this sour fruit, that means more of our tribe is infected with females and cubs, right?”

“Have you ever thought about what our tribe will do if the females and cubs die like this?”

“Without a female, there will be no cubs. Our Back Cliff Tribe will have no future.”

Granny Witch Doctor, who had been about to leave, now stood still.

Bai Ye froze, his thin lips pursed, his face tense.

He knew she was right about everything, but he couldn’t accept her taking the risk.

“Don’t worry. I have a way to cure the plague. Even if I can’t, I’m definitely capable of protecting myself. I won’t let myself catch it too.”

Tang Guo knew that he was wavering. She struck while the iron was hot. She grabbed his arm and shook it slightly. “You have to believe me!” she wheedled.

Bai Ye couldn’t stand her wheedling, so he couldn’t say anything to object.

Tang Guo turned and went into the far end of the house, taking out three animal skins. It was actually taken out of the space with a little plant water on the hide.

She gave Bai Ye and Granny Witch Doctor a piece each. “This is the hide I soaked in herbs. Wrap it around your face to prevent infection with the plague.”

She demonstrated as she spoke.

Bai Ye knew she had taken it out of her space. Granny Witch Doctor sniffed it and indeed smelled herbs.

They both believed it. Like her, they carefully wrapped the hide around their faces.

“You can now. Let’s go.”

Tang Guo put on her raincoat and bamboo hat. She had just taken a step when Bai Ye picked her up and carried her out.

Everyone who was infected had already lived in the cave.

As soon as Tang Guo got close, she frowned. Too many people were gathered in a cave. The air smelled bad, and the contagion had become stronger.

Pebble was here, too. He was very sick. His breathing was rapid, and his body was hot and red. He was lying at the entrance to the cave.

They had just arrived when someone suddenly exclaimed in the cave, “Dead! Another one is dead!”

“We’re all going to die!”
