Chapter 307 Advanced Threat
Limiao's arms-crossed posture remained unchanged, indicating that he subconsciously maintained a sense of wariness towards these orcs.
Seeing that Li Miao neither refuted nor spoke, Lu Qixin sighed and said, "There are probably few elders in the clan who are willing to send their cubs here. Perhaps they will send the cubs of more important collateral branches."
“But your uncle won’t. Your uncle believes in your partner’s abilities. Your uncle will send your brother’s youngest son here.”
Lu Qixin couldn't help but sigh again: "It's just that his youngest son is so young, only a little over three years old, and his personality is still unruly. Alas—you should help him more!"
Li Miao nodded: "I will."
Lu Qixin couldn't help but ask again, "Did Xi Yue, the Holy Mother, put some energy fruits in the minced meat porridge she made for the cubs?"
"If you could get your hands on the recipe for minced meat porridge, it would be good if we could help our treasure-hunting rat tribe's cubs improve their abilities a little! Even if it doesn't improve their aptitude, improving their physique would be great too!"
Li Miao knew in his heart that these old fogies had definitely set a trap for him.
Li Miao nodded: "Although I don't know the specific recipe, my beast wife didn't hide it from me."
Lu Qixin and the older men present all had their eyes light up!
Li Miao then said, "Isn't the Third Prince also my beast wife's beast husband? He previously took the Sacred Locust Amber Flower to Bright Moon Beast City. They needed the Sacred Locust Amber Flower there to remove the life-stealing spell from the cubs they were giving birth to."
Lu Qixin's temples were throbbing, and the other orcs also wondered if this was something they should be listening to. What kind of secret was this from within the Beast King's royal family? Was it some good news?
Did Li Miao just openly and unguardedly tell them this?
Li Miao continued to spout nonsense without batting an eye: "Back then, that sacred locust amber flower used up its calyx, which was the whole flower and bud."
"But my partner cultivated that root. Then she would often grind the plant's leaves or petals into powder, and also grind them into powder with some other herbs that my partner cultivated using healing abilities."
Lu Qixin was stunned and couldn't help but ask, "The Holy Mother Xiyue's healing ability can also cultivate medicinal herbs?"
Li Miao nodded: "Some plants don't grow well because they need certain nutrients. Different soils lack certain nutrients, and even if you change the soil immediately, it will be too late."
"At this time, my partner will use his healing powers to revive the plants."
Lu Qixin and all the beastmen present stared wide-eyed: "A healing ability? It can actually do this?"
"Can healing abilities even cure plant diseases?"
"If the plant doesn't get enough nutrition and gets exposed to wind and rain, it will die. Using healing abilities to heal it seems to make sense!"
“That makes sense! But our tribe has had orcs with healing abilities before, and we didn’t see one who was this powerful!”
"Our tribe's healing beastmen are only orange-ranked! Even the Holy Maiden Xiyue is brown-ranked!"
"Yes! Just like our superpowers, there's a qualitative change when we're at the gray level, and another qualitative change when we're at the brown level!"
"Then, we must take our tribe's healing-type mutant beastmen seriously!"
"There are only so many of them. They're already too busy using their abilities to resist the beast tide. How can we add more burden to them?"
"When they're not fighting off beast tides, there aren't that many beastmen getting injured during hunts. They could easily use that time to cultivate herbs and energy fruits!"
Seeing that the orcs were chatting enthusiastically, Lu Qixin quickly waved his hand: "Alright! We can talk about these things when we get back to the tribe!"
Lu Qixin looked at Li Miao: "Ah Miao! Do you know of any other medicinal herbs?"
Not only was Li Miao startled, but even Ruan Xiyue felt something was amiss. Did the Treasure-Hunting Rat Tribe possess the Sacred Locust Amber Flower?
Lu Qixin said unhurriedly, "We don't have Sacred Locust Flower, but we can make do with other herbs to prepare a simple meat porridge for the cubs!"
Li Miao didn't believe it! The Treasure-Hunting Rat Tribe might actually have a hidden stash of Sacred Locust Amber Flowers!
Li Miao had made a fruit platter of low-level energy fruits for Ruan Xiyue, and then described several kinds of low-level energy fruits.
They also mentioned several herbs, some of which promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, while others replenish qi and blood.
He overheard the names of the herbs while eavesdropping on Ruan Xiyue and Jiu Chen's conversation.
After Li Miao finished speaking, he added, "This formula was developed by my partner and the Nine-Headed Beast Husband."
"The Nine Star Beast Master said that this stuff must be prepared strictly according to the proportions, otherwise it will affect the effect and may even lead to the opposite result."
Although Lu Qixin didn't understand the intricacies of witch doctors, these older orcs certainly understood these principles.
Lu Qixin frowned slightly, and could only show a pleading look: "You need to pay more attention to this matter. Help the clan keep an eye on the proportions of the good things they add to their meat porridge, so that it can benefit your nephews!"
Li Miao's face suddenly darkened.
Seeing this, Lu Qixin realized he was in trouble, feeling he had been too obvious.
Li Miao said coldly, "I just want to live a peaceful life with my partner. Doesn't Uncle want me and Xi Yue Shengci to be happy together?"
Another older orc was displeased. His face darkened, and he adopted the demeanor of an elder, slamming his hand on the wooden table: "Limu! Don't forget your roots! You are an orc from the Treasure Rat Tribe!"
"What? I'm an orc from the Treasure Rat Tribe, so I should steal my partner's recipe for the Treasure Rat Tribe. Then make my partner despise me. Make me be despised by her, and even become her first wandering orc ex-husband?"
The older orc was about to rebuke him when Lu Qixin grabbed him and held him down.
Lu Qixin smiled apologetically: "You misunderstood! It's fine if you can't find out. But if you're willing to pay attention, next time you want to make a request to the clan, you'll naturally have to make some contributions to the clan so that they can try their best to fulfill your request!"
"Amyo, you must understand that only mutually beneficial relationships are truly unbreakable!"
Ruan Xiyue smiled. This was a more sophisticated form of soft threat. It wasn't the kind of direct threat like, "If you don't steal the formula for me, I'll do this or that to you."
This kind of soft threat is generally very effective.
Li Miao's lip muscles twitched slightly, but he eventually regained his composure. The fierce look in his eyes just now seemed to be a momentary illusion for everyone.
Lu Qixin began to feel uneasy. He realized that Li Miao was different.
However, Li Miao nodded with a faint smile on his lips, "Understood."
Ruan Xiyue frowned slightly, chatting with Duoduo in her mind: [Was Li Miao unusual just now? Did he seem to have someone else in his mind who persuaded him to stay calm?]
Dodo quickly put on its not-so-bright black cat skin and said: [To find out the answer, please pay 99 points.]
