Bazel hurried back to the village inhabited by the mink tribe with his white satin in his arms, and his actions were naturally not as gentle and harmless as before.
When he rushed straight to the courtyard of the mink family doctor from a high altitude, the thunderous strength and speed immediately reminded the minks of the fear of being targeted and hunted down by the king of the sky. In an instant, the originally peaceful and warm courtyard exploded pot.
The bolder ones turned into prototypes and ran away without a trace; the timid ones shrunk into balls of various colors, so frightened that they didn't even have the strength to escape. Bazel settled down in the courtyard of the family doctor, swept across the shivering fur balls in the yard, and his tone became more and more harsh because of his eagerness: "Where is the family doctor?!"
A moment later, an old mink came out of the bushes next to the courtyard tremblingly, but before he could ask, Bazel dragged it out of the bushes the next moment.
The old mink let out a scream of "Zhi—", stared at his hind legs, rolled his eyes, and almost fainted from fright. But Bazel would not allow him to really faint, so he quickly shook him a few times: "What a dizziness! I don't want to eat you! There is something wrong with Xiao Duan, hurry up and see what's wrong with him?!"
Hearing what Bazel said, the old mink calmed down a little, and only then did he see the little white mink who was carefully hugged by Bazel with the other hand, crouching in his arms and breathing rapidly.
The old mink kicked his legs and made a "squeak". Bazel bent down and put him back on the ground, watching him turn into a humanoid old man.
The family doctor of the Mink tribe is kind-hearted, wise and kind, but courageous... not too big. He stood huddled in front of the tall Bazel, looking at Bai Duan who was held in Bazel's arms with concern, but hesitated and dared not go forward.
Bazel was so anxious that he stepped over the family doctor and walked into the house, carefully placed the little lover on the bed, and then sat down on the bedside, urging the family doctor: "What are you doing in a daze?" Come here now!"
— After staying in this world for so many years, Bazel has long understood how to deal with these timid and sensitive creatures. Good words and persuasion are useless. The gentler your attitude, the more hesitant they will be. It's better to use orders and coercion directly.
— What a bunch of jitters!
The clan doctor was terrified by Bazel's yelling, and didn't dare to delay at all, so he ran over quickly and approached the bed cautiously.
At this time, Bai Duan's parents, brothers and sisters also got the news and rushed over one after another. They were worried about Bai Duan, but they were also afraid of Bazel who was sitting next to Bai Duan like he was occupying the territory. They were anxious and worried at the same time. They made a group not far away, eagerly watching the family doctor examine Bai Duan's body.
After a while, the family doctor exhaled lightly, frowned and straightened his body.
"What's the matter? What happened to Xiao Duan?!" Bai Mu hurriedly said, her tone disturbed.
Bazel raised his hand and caressed Bai Duan's heaving little body, feeling the heat under his palm, and felt that his heart was as restless as if it was being burnt by fire.
He fixed his sharp eyes on the family doctor, for fear that the other party would give some bad answers. The clan doctor was stared at by Bazel, and his body trembled more and more, but he still stood up and said his conclusion: "From the results of the physical examination... this... seems to be a sign that he is about to transform into an adult."
"Adult transformation?!" Bai Mu's eyes widened, "How is this possible?! Xiao Duan hasn't reached adulthood yet!"
"So, I'm also very strange..." The family doctor stroked his beard and sighed. Immediately, he seemed to remember something again, bent down, and under Bazel's staring gaze, he leaned close to Bai Duan's mouth and took a sniff.
Seeing that the family doctor "molested" his little lover, Bazel's face was very ugly. At least he restrained the urge to throw the family doctor out, and asked in a deep voice, "What are you doing?"
"This..." The family doctor quickly distanced himself from Bai Duan after confirming his suspicion, "I seem to be near his mouth... smell Zhu Rongguo?"
"That's right." Bazel nodded, and possessively pulled his little lover back into his arms, "He ate Zhu Rongguo before, is there any problem?"
The family doctor hesitated for a moment: "Did he eat a lot of Zhu Rongguo? How many pieces did he eat?"
"... I only ate one today." Bazel pursed his lips.
"Today? What about the total? How much did you eat?" the family doctor asked.
Bazel turned his head and thought about it, a little unsure: "Xiao Duan likes this fruit, and I heard that Zhu Rongguo is good for health, so every time when Zhu Rongguo is ripe, I will often pick it for him to eat... in total ..." He hesitated for a moment, "There are probably more than a hundred?"
The bewildered family doctor: "..."
"What? Xiao Duan's appearance has something to do with Zhu Rongguo?" Bazel frowned, full of self-blame.
"Eating a few pieces of Zhu Rongguo really strengthens the body, but eating more than a hundred..." the family doctor said with a subtle look, "it will have the effect of promoting ripening. After all, the cub's body is not yet fully developed and cannot bear the burden of absorption." All the energy contained in the vermillion melting fruit, and the overflowing part will promote the growth and development of the cubs, making them mature as soon as possible."
Bazel blamed himself more and more. He gently rubbed Bai Duan's small body, regretting that he had made his own decisions without inquiring clearly. "The plan!
"I... never heard of such a thing..." Bazel murmured.
The family doctor twitched the corners of his mouth, endured it for a while, and still couldn't help complaining: "That's because there is no animal that can eat more than a hundred at once like Xiao Duan!"
Bazel: "……………… →_→"
"Zhu Rongguo is known as the 'sacred fruit' not only because it has the effect of strengthening the body and prolonging life, but also because it is difficult to obtain." The family doctor sighed, "Zhu Rongguo grows on a towering cliff. Such a strong purple golden eagle can be easily reached. Moreover, it never appears in large groups, and the plants are small, so it is very difficult to find. Some people may not be able to find one even if they spend their lives, let alone... eat it There are more than one hundred! My lord, you love Xiao Duan, you just treat it as Zhu Rongguo, but you don't know that no matter what, it's 'too much'."
—However, being able to find more than one hundred Vermillion Rongguo can really be called a "miracle", which fully reflects Bazel's powerful strength. And even if other beasts want to be "ripened", they don't have such "good luck" and get such an opportunity.
Hearing what the family doctor said, Bazel's vision drifted away for a moment.
When looking for Zhu Rongguo, he did use cheating methods and handed over the arduous work to the system. As long as it is where he flies, the system will carefully scan it, there is no need for Bazel to go into battle in person, and he only needs to wait until the Zhu Rongguo matures and fly to the marked place to pick it off. Not much effort.
Since Zhu Rongguo was readily available to him, Bazel ignored how unattainable this fruit was for other orcs, and it was not a rotten street food that could be eaten casually.
— If you take too much of this great tonic, it will overdo it.
Holding the white satin in his hands, he lowered his head and rubbed his warm body with the tip of his nose. Bazel frowned, and his black hair, which was always flamboyant, seemed to be drooping, and his whole body was shrouded in the shadow of guilt.
When Bai Duan's parents heard the truth, they really didn't know whether they should blame Bazel for "excessive love" for Bai Duan - of course, even if they wanted to blame, they didn't have the courage.
"It was indeed my negligence this time. Seeing that he likes it and his body is getting better and better after eating, I forgot the principle of moderation... Will this cause any harm to his body?" Bazel took a deep breath Tone, asked softly.
"My lord, don't worry too much. Xiao Duan is very healthy. Although she was forced to ripen this time, as long as she survives and raises it well for a while, there will be no major problems." The family doctor stroked his beard and tried to comfort her. .
Bazel nodded: "Then what should we do next?"
"We can't do anything, we can only wait for Xiao Duan to get over it..." the family doctor sighed.
After confirming that the family doctor could not relieve the lover's pain by any means, Bazel took Bai Duan out of the family doctor's yard, and occupied Bai Duan's parents' house forcefully—of course, he actually wanted to bring the little lover back to himself However, Bai Duan's parents stood in front of him tremblingly, unwilling to let their son leave the village in such a dangerous situation.
Considering that it is more convenient to find a family doctor at any time in a Diao village, Bazel accepted the "suggestion" of Bai Duan's parents. However, when he moved into Bai Duan's house, Bai Duan's parents and siblings became Poor little homeless kid.
—In any case, they absolutely dare not live under the same roof with natural enemies. Even if they know that the other party does not want to eat them, their instinctive fear still makes their bodies tense and they dare not close their eyes at all.
In order to ensure that he would not keep his eyes open until dawn at night, Bai Duan's parents, brother and sister borrowed with other tribesmen, but ran home like a thief every day to take a look at the house to make sure that Bai Duan was still safe. As for the task of taking care of Bai Duan, Bazel couldn't wait to undertake all of them.
Although they are very dissatisfied that Bazel has completely taken over their youngest brother/son, Bai Duan's family has to admit that if they were to take care of Bai Duan, they would definitely not be able to be so meticulous.
The environment in this world is dangerous, and the orcs have very low material requirements for survival. In addition, each pair of parents will have several children, so it is impossible to pamper each child carefully.
They will not bother looking for sweet fruits and tender meat like Bazel, mash them into chyme, and carefully feed them into Bai Duan's mouth; they will not clean Bai Duan's fur every day, and do not allow him to get a little bit of dirt on his body ; more will not stay by his side every step of the way, pay attention to every change in him all the time, dare not let down his vigilance even in sleep.
— Let alone "friends", even "father and son" or "husband and wife" cannot do their best. Bai Duan's parents really can't see clearly what is going on between their son and this Bazel relation.
—However, if it can always be like this, even if the son is handed over to the "natural enemy", it seems... there is nothing wrong with it, right
