The Wicked Female and Her Eight Beastmen Mates: Pregnant From Day One - Chapter 10:

Yani’s Plea

After bickering with the system for a while, Bai Yue snapped back to reality.

Bafeng, she said, can I help? Maybe I can do something useful.

She wasn’t nervous at all not when she had a built-in cheat system ready to back her up.

Though, deep down, she worried it might use this as an excuse to

make her grind through more missions.

Why do you want to help? Bafeng’s eyes lowered, his thoughts unreadable.

Something about her had changed these past few days.

She wasn’t the same woman anymore none of the arrogance, none of the cruelty.

It was as if someone had swapped her soul.

Bai Yue’s tone was serious, even a little guilty. Because I used to treat everyone badly.

I put ants in your water, stole fruit from the cubs, made them cry,

and got into fights with the other females almost every day.

All of that was true the original Bai Yue had done far worse things too,

things the current Bai Yue couldn’t even bring herself to think about without cringing.

She’d been awful. Truly awful.

So, Bafeng asked, arms folded.

So, I’m reflecting on myself! From today on,

I’m going to be a good female and repay the tribe for letting me stay.

Her bright, eager voice almost made him smile. He didn’t interrupt.

Let her try. Once she realized it was useless, she’d stop.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to believe her. It was just that this world ran on the Beast God’s laws.

Some things couldn’t be changed with good intentions alone.

Bafeng finally set her down and turned away. The cold aura around him

returned as he surveyed the wreckage.

He rubbed his fingers together thoughtfully, then brought them to his nose and inhaled.

Faint but unmistakable.

That scent.

The scent of a rogue beastman.

His jaw tightened. Bai Yue had left the cave alone and somehow returned unharmed.

No female had ever escaped a rogue’s grasp alive.

So why her?

Had she… been with one of them? Was she connected to the attack somehow?

He knew he shouldn’t think that way, but the thought refused to leave.

The more he tried to dismiss it, the more it lingered.

Especially with how strange she’d been lately. Almost like a different person.

Meanwhile, Bai Yue was completely unaware of the storm in his mind.

She was busy moving from one injured beastman to another, pleading silently in her head.

Come on, system, open a cheat for me, please!

After a short negotiation and a promise to scan thirty types of plants later the deal was made.

No new mission popped up this time, but saving so many beastmen was reward enough.

You have a bone needle? she asked a white fox beastman whose thigh was split open.

She didn’t remember owning any, so she had to ask.

The male gave her a suspicious look. I do. What do you want it for?

You’re not planning to stab me while I can’t fight back, are you?

Clearly, he hadn’t forgotten how awful the old Bai Yue had been.

She rolled her eyes. Stop thinking of me like I’m some villain!

She smeared the herbal paste she’d crushed over his wounds not gently, either.

The beastman yelped so loud it echoed across the clearing. Lighter!

Gods, lighter! And you say you’re not cruel!

Consider it punishment, she said flatly. Now, where’s the needle?

If you don’t tell me, I’ll use a bone knife instead.

That shut him up. Trembling, he pointed toward a half-collapsed cave.

In the wall… over there.

Inside, she quickly found the bone needle and some thick thread with the system’s help.

The needle was long. The thread was rough. She winced just looking at them.

This was going to hurt.

Hey, she called out, you afraid of pain?

My name’s Baichuan, he said through gritted teeth. I’m a male. I don’t fear pain.

Good. She patted his shoulder approvingly.

Males in this world sure had pride. At least it made them easier to treat without anesthesia.

She threaded the needle, sterilized it with fire, and without hesitation

jabbed it straight into his thigh.

His scream split the air, loud enough to send birds scattering from the trees.

He tried to drag himself away, but with one leg useless, he barely moved an inch.

Stop squirming, Bai Yue scolded. If I hit bone, you’ll regret it.

She slapped him once for emphasis, and Baichuan went utterly still not daring to make a sound.

He knew better than to test her patience.

Other males might’ve thought she was bluffing. Baichuan knew she wasn’t. She’d done worse before.

Once he quieted down, her hands moved faster. Stitch by stitch,

she closed the wound neatly and even tied the thread in a little bow at the end.

There. Done.

Bai Yue stood, wiping her hands. Time to save the next one.

Baichuan wanted to stop her mostly to protect the others from her

heavy-handed “care” but then he froze.

His wounds… they were glowing.

Warm. Tingling. Healing.

That wasn’t possible. Only the witch doctor could do that.

So how could Bai Yue?

Had she really been blessed by the Beast God?

Confused and wide-eyed, Baichuan could only watch as she moved on.

The rest of the injuries were less severe, and Bai Yue treated them quickly.

She was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when another group

returned to the tribe mostly females.

Her stomach tightened. Snow and Cang must have brought them back.

Their faces were pale, tear-streaked, hollow. Even their usual chatter was gone

a terrifying silence for females who never stopped talking.

You’re back, Bai Yue said softly, stepping forward. You’re not hurt, are you?

Before she could say more, she felt a pair of burning eyes on her.

Yani.

Bai Yue hesitated. This wasn’t the time to argue.

But to her surprise, Yani stepped forward and fell to her knees.

Her voice broke into sobs. Bai Yue… I was wrong before. Please,

I’m begging you. Save my mate. Save my brother. Please.

Bai Yue froze, eyes darting to Snow, the only one who knew she could heal.

Snow’s face was full of guilt.

I’m sorry, Bai Yue, she said quietly. I shouldn’t have told them.

But you’re the only one who can help us now.

After bickering with the system for a while, Bai Yue snapped back to reality.
