Chapter 4 - Black Tiger Clan

Hearing the man's words, Genia remembered that her ugly face was hindering her work. She thought, "I have to fix this ugly face. At least it should look like no one is scared to see it."

But she had no resources or herbs to cure the ugliness of her face. She said to herself, "I will have to live with this face until I bring shame to my face."

But she had nothing with which she could hide her face. Then her eyes fell on the scarf tied around the neck of the man standing in front of her. She thought to herself, "This Beast Word seems to be different from the Beast Words depicted in novels. But this man seems quite foolish to me."

Then, seeing it, an idea struck her. She quickly removed the scarf from around the man's neck.

"Hey, my scarf!"

The man exclaimed in surprise, but Genia covered her face with the scarf before he could respond. Now only her eyes were visible. Seeing them, the man forgot to say anything.

Genia asked the man, "Is it okay now? Now your clan won't be afraid to see my face."

The man was taken aback by Genia's question. This girl was so quick to react, he couldn't believe what she would say. He simply nodded and asked Genia to step aside. Although the road to his clan was a long one, he knew a shortcut that could take them to his house. He was running out of time anyway, so he decided to take the shortcut.

After a long walk, the man and Genia finally reached the man's cabin. As Genia took in her surroundings, she suddenly blurted out, "Wow…"

Everything felt like she had stepped into the times of a king or emperor. The only difference was that all those people were not normal humans, but beasts. When the people walking nearby noticed the man, they quickly said, "Long live the Third Prince!"

But when they saw the girl who had come with him, they were all astonished. They couldn't understand who this girl was that the Third Prince had brought with him. Her face was also covered with a cloth, so they couldn't tell what she looked like.

When Genia heard them calling the man 'Third Prince', she asked, "Why are all these people calling you Third Prince?"

Hearing Genia's question, the man replied, "Because I am indeed the Third Prince of the Black Tiger Clan. That's why everyone is calling me Third Prince!"

He replied calmly and moved on, but Genia froze where she was upon hearing his answer. She yelled loudly, "What? Black Tiger Clan?"

Seeing Genia scream, the man stopped and looked back. Instead of following him, the girl was standing in one place. He said to her, "Why are you shouting like that? As if you've never heard of the Black Tiger Clan? Now hurry up, my friend can't wait that long?"

Hearing the man's words, Genia came back to herself and noticed that everyone was staring at her strangely. She quickly ran after the man and said, "Are you really from the Black Tiger Clan? What does that mean I'm in the Black Tiger Clan right now?"

Upon hearing Genia's words, the man stared at her as if she were crazy! He couldn't understand why this girl was reacting so much. But he did not give any answer to Genia because for him the most important thing right now was to save his friend's life.

When Genia saw that the man did not respond to her, she said to him, "Hey, I am asking you a question. Why are you not saying anything?"

Hearing Genia's question, the man became worried and said, "Because right now it is more important for me to save my friend's life. If we delay any further, he will not be able to wait much longer."

Listening to the man, Genia put her questions aside and silently followed him. But she wasn't sure if she could truly save his friend. After all, there's a huge difference between an animal and a human. So how could she possibly treat his wounds? As she walked, she spotted a plant growing along the path and it seemed familiar. So, she picked up the herb.

"What are you saying? Kevin has brought a girl with him to the Black Tiger Clan?"

A man poured wine again into the glass placed in front of him and put it to his mouth.

The man standing in front of him replied, "Second Prince, you're right? Third Prince has brought a girl with him to the Black Tiger Clan. Moreover, the girl has completely covered her face. Only her eyes are visible, which is why it's hard to tell what she looks like. But her eyes are quite beautiful."

Hearing that man's words, the other man's eyes lit up with a strange gleam. He said, "Looks like I'll have to meet that girl now."

A strange smile appeared on his face as he said this. The Black Tiger Clan wasn't just a clan, it was an entire kingdom. Besides Rexon, its chieftain, there were three other princes: Alex, James, and Kevin. They held the titles of First Prince, Second Prince, and Third Prince. All four of them were brothers and shared the same father, who was the leader of the Black Tiger Clan. However, they had different mothers, which led to a constant battle between them for the title of clan leader. Rexon was the eldest son, and as such, after the clan leader's death, he was made the next clan leader of the estate. However, he never had a mate or heir, which led to a constant battle between the four of them for the position of clan leader. To end this conflict, Rexon ordered his men to send him a girl who could give birth to his heir.

Then James remembered something and asked, "Oh yes, I heard that my elder brother had ordered a girl for himself from Rabbit clan. What happened to her?"

Hearing James's question, the man replied, "I found out from my spies that the girl whom Rabbit Clan's men were bringing has knocked them unconscious and run away."

Hearing the man's words, a smile appeared on James's face and he said, "It seems the time has come to meet my elder brother."

He then got up and left from there.

"Quickly bring a clean cloth."

Someone heard Genia's words and ran to get some clean cloth. She was treating the Third Prince's friend. He was unconscious and covered in wounds all over his body. Fortunately, his wounds weren't too deep. Due to which she did not face much trouble.

Genia asked the man for some herbs and ground them into a paste.

Just then, the man who had gone to get a clean cloth returned with a clean cloth. He said to Genia, "Here is a clean cloth."

The man didn't know why this girl had asked for clean clothes. However, he didn't dare to ignore her request because she had been brought by the Third Prince.

Hearing this, Genia looked at the cloth and said in surprise, "I wanted the cloth cut into pieces!"

Things were quite different in this Beast World, but the methods of treatment here were still primitive and they did not have bandages to cover the wounds. So she had ordered a clean cloth to tie around the man's wounds. But the man brought the entire cloth. She asked them, "Are there any scissors here?"

Hearing Genia's words, Kevin asked her, "Why do you need scissors?"

Hearing Kevin's question, Genia didn't know if they had scissors. She asked Kevin, "Can you cut this cloth?"

"Yes, you tell me how to cut this cloth!"

Kevin took out the sharp nails of his hand.

Genia was initially frightened by Kevin's nails, but she showed him how to cut the cloth.

Kevin cut the cloth in the same manner as Genia told him.

Genia then applied the paste to the man's wounds and bandaged them. She then took out the herb she had hidden in her own clothing on the way. At the time, she wasn't sure if the herb would be useful, but she kept it with her anyway. The antioxidants in the herb are used to revive tigers.

Genia extracted the juice from the herb and said to Kevin, "If you give this juice to this man, he will regain consciousness. I have already treated his wounds. I just need to get his bandages replaced."

Hearing Genia's words, Kevin looked at his friend and said, "But he is unconscious. How can I feed him this juice?"

Hearing Kevin's words, Genia said to him, "You open his mouth, I will put the juice in his mouth."

Hearing this, Kevin opened his friend's mouth and Genia slowly poured the herbal juice into his friend's mouth so that he could swallow it.

The people standing around them were surprised to see Genia giving such orders to the Third Prince. They felt that this girl was definitely very important to the Third Prince.

When Genia poured all the juice into Kevin's friend's mouth, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"When will my friend regain consciousness?"

Kevin was still worried about his friend. He also doubted Genia's skills, but judging by her behavior, she seemed quite professional.

Genia replied, "He will regain consciousness in a while. However, for now it is better for him to rest."

Then a question came to her mind and she asked, "You said that your friend was attacked by a tiger, but here everyone is a tiger. Then who attacked your friend?"

Hearing Genia's words, Kevin told her, "That was some tiger that you don't need to know about. Just make sure that if my friend doesn't regain consciousness, no one will save you from me..."

"Ah..."

Before Kevin could complete his sentence, a soft groaning sound was heard. Hearing the voice, Kevin quickly looked at his friend, who was slowly regaining consciousness. He quickly said, "Neon, how are you feeling now? Are you okay?"

He thought he had lost his friend, but this girl saved his friend's life. She was quite ugly, but her skills were amazing.
