I Became The Chief of A Primitive Village

“Yes, would you not like to?” Su Bai took a sip of water.

Sha Lan did not know what to say for a moment. She kept looking at the fox eared girl in bewilderment, then back at the Shaman. Her mouth opened and closed several times without making a sound. It was only after a moment that she finally asked, “Why would you want me to be a Shaman Priestess?”

“Because of what you discussed with Yu Ying,” Su Bai said.

“Shaman, I was just talking casually. If I said anything wrong, please don’t blame me.” Sha Lan thought she had said something wrong.

Su Bai covered his face with one hand and laughed, not expecting this young lady to be so innocent.

He lowered his hand and smiled, “No, what you said was extremely accurate. That’s exactly why I want you to help me.”

“Me? I can help you, Shaman?” Sha Lan pointed at herself in disbelief.

“Of course. Although I have already thought of what you mentioned, you saying it yourself without me proves that your thinking aligns with mine.” Su Bai smiled.

Sha Lan blinked her blue eyes and softly asked, “Shaman, are my ideas really useful?”

Sha Lan’s heart skipped a beat at ‘become my Shaman Priestess’. Her face visibly reddened. She lowered her head slightly, paused for a minute, then made a sound as quiet as a mosquito, “En…”

Su Bai saw the cat eared girl’s blushing face and, thinking back to what he had just said, realised he had been too direct.

Nevertheless, he chuckled and continued to say, “It’s been decided then. In that case, come find me tomorrow morning. I have some things for you to handle.”

“Shaman, but…” Sha Lan looked troubled and stammered, “But what about the Chieftain…”

The cat eared girl was worried because she was currently a Warrior Trainee. If she became a Shaman Priestess, she wouldn’t be able to become a Totem Warrior. Moreover, it would be difficult to explain to Yan Jiao, since the Tribe did not have that many Totem Warriors.

If even a Warrior Trainee went to become a Shaman Priestess, they would be losing a potential Totem Warrior. After all, Totem Warriors were a crucial part of every Tribe. Having as many Totem Warriors as possible was for the best.

“Don’t worry about it, I’ll talk to the Chieftain. Even so, you shouldn’t abandon your training.” Su Bai thought for a moment and continued, “Of course, the work I give you won’t be too much, and you can reduce your training appropriately. Basically, maintain both duties, but mine being the priority. You’d also get to take more breaks in between training.”

Sha Lan nodded vigorously, her smile showing complete agreement with this arrangement.

Although this young lady had the aptitude for awakening as a Totem Warrior, her current Physique was still far from being as strong as the cow horned girl. She would get tired after training for a short while, and need to rest for over ten minutes. While she rested, others continued training.

Over time, the cat eared girl felt guilty about this, after all, they were all Warrior Trainees, so why was she so different?

There was also another frustrating matter, which was that her Mother was already a Mid-Stage Totem Warrior with such exceptional skills and talent. So, it was truly frustrating that her stamina was this poor?

Several times, the cat eared girl had wondered if she was only selected as a Warrior Trainee because of her Mother. That, without her Mother’s influence, she might just be an ordinary person, and would probably be severely scolded whenever her poor stamina was shown. ŗ�

The Shaman’s arrangement was perfect for her. She could reduce her training, and she would not be too tired. It might be the case where the training would be just the right amount.

“Alright, go and rest for now. Come see me tomorrow morning.” Su Bai reminded.

“Okay.” Sha Lan left happily, giving the fox eared girl a playful wink as she departed.

Yu Ying was also happy seeing her friend so joyful, despite the tear stains on her face. She rubbed her recently-tear-filled eyes and happily celebrated, “That’s great, Sha Lan can finally do what she likes.”

These past two days in the Tribe, whenever the cat eared girl had free time, she would seek out Yu Ying to discuss Tribal matters. When they talked about these things, Sha Lan would speak endlessly, as if she had infinite things to say. During such times, her face would be full of smiles, unlike when she was training.

Of course, during training, the cat eared girl still gave it her all. It was just that she really could not keep up with others.

“Why do you seem even happier than her?” Su Bai remembered how sad the fox eared girl had been earlier.

Yu Ying came back to her senses and smiled, saying softly, “Because Sha Lan can finally do what she likes, and she can also work with me for you, Shaman.”

“Oh right, did you call Ye Jiu like I asked you to?” Su Bai suddenly remembered.

“Yes, she should be outside, I’ll go check.” When Yu Ying went to call the cat eared girl, she had also called the wolf eared girl.

When the cat eared girl was inside talking to Su Bai, she might have been waiting outside.

“Shaman, do you have a new mission for me?” Ye Jiu asked as soon as she entered.

Su Bai took out the combat knife from a box and solemnly said, “This knife is yours!”

Ye Jiu’s gaze was immediately drawn to the combat knife. Under the light of the fruit oil lamp, it looked extraordinarily beautiful.

Her eyes slowly moved away from the knife as she looked ahead and asked, “Shaman, this is for me?”

“Yes! Try it out. I think it suits you well.” Su Bai nodded.

When he first obtained this combat knife, the first person who came to his mind was the wolf eared girl.

He had personally seen her skills. She had also single-handedly killed the Six Eyed Red Bird. Thus, he thought that this combat knife would suit her perfectly.

Ye Jiu’s usually cold face showed a change in expression as she stared at the sharp combat knife in surprise.

The wolf eared girl gripped the combat knife with one hand and swung it through the air several times, finding that it felt great in her hand.

It was very easy to swing, unlike bone knives or stone knives which offered considerable resistance when wielded.

This combat knife seemed to meet no resistance, as if it could cut through everything in front of it.

“Shaman, this knife is too good. I can’t accept it.” Ye Jiu immediately handed the combat knife back.

She knew the basic rules of a Tribe – unless they were the Chieftain or a leader, or had made significant contributions to the Tribe, they should not receive such things.

Even if they did contribute, the reward would not be something this good. The wolf eared girl was already overwhelmed by the honour that the Shaman had thought of giving this to her. How dare she accept it?

“It’s alright, just keep it. You’ve done a lot for the Tribe. I believe you deserve this knife.” Su Bai also knew the Tribe’s rules.

Ye Jiu’s gaze remained fixed on the combat knife. It was clear she really loved this knife. Thus, she hesitated, but still held out the knife, shaking her head, “Shaman, please give it to me after I’ve done something more significant for the Tribe.”

“You’ve already made great contributions to the Tribe, or do you need me to make a list of everything and present it to you tomorrow?” Su Bai smiled.

“I understand.” After hearing that, Ye Jiu respectfully accepted the knife.
