I Became The Chief of A Primitive Village

Chapter 70

“Shaman, we’ll take our leave now,” Yan Jiao stood up and bowed.

Cang Shi and Yan Hua followed suit, bowing as well. The dinner had lasted for two hours before people started to leave.

“Make sure the linen cloth and food are prepared. We’ll set off early tomorrow morning,” Su Bai reminded them.

“Yes!” Yan Jiao quickly responded.

The three lifted the door flap and left, leaving Su Bai and the fox eared girl in the Teepee.

“Xiao Yu, you hardly ate any meat tonight. Why don’t you grill some dried meat to eat?” Su Bai gently said.

“Okay…” Yu Ying softly responded.

“Don’t try to save it. We won’t be short of meat in the future.” Su Bai patted the fox eared girl’s head, then picked up the animal skin bag containing Beast Bones. He was going to prepare them by polishing them before making Shaman Bone Tablets.

“En,” Yu Ying’s cheeks flushed red, her pink eyes gazing tenderly at Su Bai’s back, feeling warmth in her heart.

*Thump thump thump…* Su Bai poured the Beast Bones onto the stone table and began polishing them with animal skin and a Red Tooth Knife.

*Ahhhhh* Yu Ying ate happily, grilling dried meat and pairing it with Green Sour Berries, along with the leftover salt from Su Bai. Following the principle of not wasting food, she ate with gusto.

As she was eating, she felt her nose start to itch. She raised her hand to wipe it and saw a smear of red on her fingers.

“Blood!” Yu Ying immediately recognized it. She was having a nosebleed. She quickly covered her nose with her hand, her pink eyes welling up with tears, panicking and not knowing what to do.

*Mmm~~* The fox eared girl still had grilled meat in her mouth as she hurriedly stood up and walked towards the stone table. At this moment, she could only seek help from the Shaman.

“What’s wrong?” Su Bai heard the noise and looked up, seeing the fox eared girl covering her nose with blood seeping through her fingers, still chewing something in her mouth.

His expression changed as he asked, “Are you having a nosebleed?”

*Mm mmm.* Yu Ying nodded quickly.

“Come here,” Su Bai quickly stood up, reaching out to move the fox eared girl’s small hands away. Seeing the blood flowing freely from her nose, he quickly pinched her nostrils with his fingers.

He had not expected two small pieces of Pure Blood Ferocious Beast Meat would cause such a strong reaction, nourishing the fox eared girl to the point of a nosebleed.

“Keep this spot pinched and don’t move. I’ll get some water,” Su Bai said reassuringly.

*Mm mm,* Yu Ying’s panicked mood calmed down as she pinched her nose with her small hands.

*Splash splash…* Su Bai soaked an animal skin in cold water, then wrung some water out. He came back to the fox eared girl and used the animal skin to wipe her forehead, neck, and then her nose area. This step was to help cool Yu Ying down.

Yu Ying’s pink eyes were full of tender light as she watched Su Bai busying himself for her, feeling that having a nosebleed was worth it.

A few minutes later…

“Release your hand and let’s see if you’re still bleeding,” Su Bai said, holding the animal skin.

“En,” Yu Ying obediently let go, revealing her reddened nose from the pinching. There was coagulated blood around her nostrils, but no fresh blood flowing from her nasal cavity.

“It’s okay now, the bleeding has stopped,” Su Bai sighed in relief, using the damp animal skin to clean the coagulated blood around Yu Ying’s nostrils.

“Thank you, Shaman,” Yu Ying said in a small voice, her cheeks flushing.

Her pink eyes did not dare to look directly at Su Bai, as his gentle masculine charm at this moment was too overwhelming.

“Alright, go sit and rest for a while. Keep using the warm animal skin to wipe your forehead, neck, and nose,” Su Bai handed her the animal skin.

“Okay…” Yu Ying responded softly.

“Next time, we can’t let you eat Pure Blood Ferocious Beast Meat,” Su Bai shook his head with amusement.

“I won’t dare to eat it again,” Yu Ying pouted. She had always heard her friend say that eating Pure Blood Ferocious Beast Meat would cause nosebleeds. She nevertheless did not expect it to be so severe.

“It’s okay. In the future, we’ll prepare some fresh wild Beast Meat. We can grill that to eat,” Su Bai reassured her.

After all, everyone was eating so joyously. Seeing the fox eared girl watching longingly from the side would make anyone feel sympathetic.

“En,” Yu Ying obediently agreed.

“If you start bleeding again, call me,” Su Bai returned to the stone table and continued polishing the Ferocious Beast Bones.

“En,” Yu Ying slowly moved, preparing to clean up the leftover food, afraid that any sudden movements might cause another nosebleed.

On the other side, the cow horned girl was trying to persuade Yan Jiao to let her go along to the Spotted Deer Tribe.

“Father, please let me go with you,” Yan Hua pleaded, looking pitifully at him. “I’ve never been outside the Tribe. Please take me with you.”

“No. It’s too dangerous,” Yan Jiao shook his head stubbornly.

“But, GrandFather used to take you when you weren’t even a Totem Warrior,” Yan Hua angrily said.

“That was different from now. If there’s danger, I need to protect the Shaman. I might not be able to take care of you,” Yan Jiao helplessly said.

“I can help protect the Shaman too,” Yan Hua quickly said.

“You? Forget it. You’re not even a Totem Warrior.” Yan Jiao said dismissively, with a disdainful expression.

“Father, think about it. You and Uncle Mai Mang are all adults. Only the Shaman is so young. It will definitely raise suspicion,” Yan Hua bit her lip, her red eyes flickering as she decided to use the Shaman’s identity to persuade him. “If I go along, others won’t focus solely on the Shaman. The Shaman will be safer.”

“That does make some sense,” Yan Jiao frowned.

Seeing that her Father was swayed, Yan Hua quickly added, “Also, I can take care of the Shaman.”

Yan Jiao turned to look at his Daughter and teased, “Since when did you become so concerned about the Shaman? You weren’t even willing to be the Shaman Priestess before.”

“No, that’s not true,” Yan Hua’s cheeks flushed red as she turned her head away, not daring to meet her Father’s inquiring gaze.

She did not know why herself. On one hand, she wanted to see what it was like outside the Tribe. On the other hand, she was truly worried about the Shaman’s safety. If it was not out of concern, how could she have noticed the flaw that the Shaman was the only young person among those travelling?

“Alright, go to bed now. Let me think about it,” Yan Jiao still has not decided. Although he felt his Daughter’s words made sense, he could not bear to put her in danger.

“Father…” Yan Hua looked at him pleadingly.

“I’ll tell you my decision in the morning,” Yan Jiao waved his hand.

*Hmph!* Yan Hua let out a light snort and stomped her foot before leaving.

She thought about secretly following them, but soon realised that with the Totem Warriors’ speed, she might be left behind without even seeing their figures. [Argh! This is so difficult!]
