He stood there quietly, seemingly without any emotion—no panic, no fear, and no anxiety.
It was unusually quiet!
"Well, at least I didn't grab the wrong person. Look at her; she hasn't woken up for an entire day and night. Last night she was complaining about being both cold and hot," Hei Yao said worriedly, looking at the unconscious Si Lu.
This witch doctor was captured at great risk.
He hoped it would help.
However, seeing that the person he had caught was blind made him feel a little...
There was no other way. He had alerted the orcs in the tribe and had to grab someone randomly from the witch doctor's cave. Luckily, he got an apprentice, so the person should know how to treat her.
"Let me check," the boy said as he approached Si Lu. His long silver hair hung down beside him, his skin pale—so pale it seemed weak and frail.
He stretched out a fair hand, and a green light entered Si Lu's body.
"A wood element? It seems you're useful after all," Hei Yao said, his eyes narrowing in surprise.
Grabbing an orc with a natural element talent just by chance—his luck wasn't bad.
"I'll do my best," the boy nodded.
It didn't matter what methods this rogue orc had used to capture him, but this female was genuine, and he had to save her.
He really couldn't stand by and watch her die.
However, the female's scent was sweet and pleasant, and he liked it.
But soon, his expression changed. This female was carrying a baby.
Though he sensed that the female wasn't in any immediate danger and that the baby inside her was healthy, she had clearly been frightened, exhausted, and was somewhat weak.
Could this rogue orc have harmed her?
No matter what, it was best to save her first.
"How is she? Why hasn't she woken up yet?" Hei Yao asked anxiously, his handsome brows furrowing.
He just wanted to know why she hadn't woken up yet.
Could there be a problem?
"She must have exhausted herself, and her body is weak. She was also frightened, which is why she's like this. But there's no life-threatening issue," the boy explained.
"I'll gather a few herbs for her to take. The wounds on her body are from vegetation scratches. Your herbs will help too. I'll infuse more wood energy into her, and she'll heal faster."
"She's exhausted, so she'll wake up in about a day," Bai Di said calmly.
As he spoke, he continued to infuse his wood energy into her. The wood element was associated with life force, so it was beneficial for the female.
Of course, he didn't mention the baby inside her. He was worried the serpent orc might get the wrong idea.
"That's good. You take care of her while I go hunting," Hei Yao said, looking at the white-haired boy before him.
His tone was heavy, a warning not to have any other ideas or else...
"You go ahead. I'll take care of her. I won't run," Bai Di nodded, his expression calm.
"It better be that way," Hei Yao said before transforming into a large black snake and leaving.
Bai Di looked at the small female before him, a trace of pity flashing in his eyes. He had no idea how this female ended up here or why she was with an orc, but he also sensed another rogue orc's faint scent on her—barely detectable but perceptible to a witch doctor like him.
He also noticed two beast marks on her wrist—one of a deer and one of a tiger. Her beast husbands must be worried sick, desperately searching for her.
Bai Di felt helpless.
After all, he specialized in medicine, not combat. His strength was on par with that of the black serpent, but he could never defeat him.
If his actions harmed the female, he would be consumed by guilt.
He could tell the black serpent cared deeply for this female, so for now, he believed she wouldn't be harmed.
Bai Di gently lifted his head and gazed through the white veil covering his eyes, barely making out her pretty face. Her fair skin seemed even paler than his, and her long lashes fluttered like butterfly wings. He couldn't help but wonder what her eyes would look like when open.
Her pink lips were as beautiful as small spring blossoms. She was truly a stunning female.
Originally, he thought only the females of his fox tribe were good-looking, but now he saw that they paled in comparison to this one.
No wonder that rogue orc cared so much about her.
Still...
Even he couldn't help but feel something for her...
But could he ever be worthy?
Not at all.
As this thought crossed his mind, Bai Di's hand instinctively touched the white veil over his eyes. His eyes...
How pitiful!
A hint of self-mockery tugged at his lips. He picked up a piece of cleaned animal hide from a stone basin and gently wiped the female's face, neck, and arms.
Wiping her down like this would make her more comfortable.
Every female loved cleanliness.
He carefully tended to her. Despite the white veil over his eyes, it didn't affect his vision or senses at all.
After cleaning her, he noticed her hands were cold, so he started a small fire in the cave and meticulously covered her with animal skins.
This female was very delicate. She needed to be well cared for.
Rogue orcs rarely knew how to take care of fragile females, so Bai Di couldn't help but worry.
As long as the female remained in the rogue orc's hands, he wouldn't leave her. Staying by her side was a form of protection.
Hopefully, her beast husbands will arrive soon!
Suddenly, Bai Di noticed the female's fingers twitch. He looked at her in surprise, his pale face softening.
"Mmm~" The unconscious Si Lu frowned, instinctively grabbing the hand beside her. A moment later, she sat up with a start.
She opened her eyes to see an unfamiliar cave and a white-haired boy with a veil over his eyes sitting beside her. His complexion was pale, almost delicate, with soft, refined features.
Si Lu froze in place!
Oh my god, was this an immortal?
His aura was so pure, so gentle, with a beauty unlike any orc she had ever seen. It was as if he was a blank sheet of paper.
He gave her a sense of white moonlight.
An orc lands with such a beautiful boy?
But that veil—was he blind?
Si Lu couldn't help but wonder, feeling a pang of pity in her heart.
