I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 34, The Tribe’s Transformation Is Urgent

Translator: Silavin

“Father! Father…” Yan Hua was shouting from afar, running towards Yan Jiao who was about to enter the forest.

“What’s wrong? Why are you so flustered early in the morning?” Yan Jiao frowned and scolded, “I don’t know who you take after your impatient temperament.”

“…” Hei Ya, Da Gua, and the others looked at the Chieftain with strange eyes, as if questioning, ‘You sure have the nerve to say that about someone else.’

“It’s terrible, something terrible has happened!” Yan Hua said with a pale face, her lips trembling, “The Shaman and Yu Ying have been poisoned!”

“What!?” Yan Jiao, Hei Ya, and the others’ faces changed dramatically.

*Whoosh!! Bang!!* Several figures kicked up a cloud of dust. They suddenly rushed towards the Main Teepee, cracking the ground beneath their feet.

Yan Hua’s eyes blurred. She found that her Father, Hei Ya, and the other Totem Warriors had all disappeared. When she turned to look, she only saw their backs covered in Totem Marks, moving as fast as if they were flying.

“Hey! Wait for me!” Yan Hua called out, running as fast as she could to keep up.

“Shaman, please don’t let anything happen to you!” Yan Jiao’s face was full of killing intent, his heart extremely anxious. He could hardly stomach the scene if something happened to the Shaman.

“How could the Shaman be poisoned? No one approached the Tribe last night,” Da Gua said with certainty.

“Could he have eaten something wrong?” Hei Ya said worriedly. The new Shaman did not possess a lot of common sense. He did not even recognise simple plants.

“Stop guessing. We need to quickly check on him,” Wa Ming growled in a low voice.

The group rushed to the Main Teepee’s door flap, suddenly lifting it to see Su Bai and Yu Ying just finishing rinsing their mouths with water, their expressions showing no signs of poisoning at all.

Su Bai looked up at them and chuckled, “Good morning! Have you had breakfast?”

“Mor-morning…” Yan Jiao responded in a daze.

“Shaman, are you alright?” Hei Ya asked straightforwardly.

“What could be wrong with me?” Su Bai shrugged. He knew it must have been the cow horned girl’s misunderstanding earlier that brought these anxious people.

“You’re not poisoned?” Da Gua blinked and asked.

“I’m fine, how could I possibly be poisoned,” Su Bai rolled his eyes.

*Huff huff huff…* Yan Hua panted heavily, finally arriving outside the Main Teepee.

“Then why did Ah’Hua say…” Yan Jiao suddenly could not continue. He abruptly turned to look at the bewildered cow horned girl, his face becoming increasingly ‘benevolent’.

“Father, how is the Shaman!?” Yan Hua asked anxiously.

“See for yourself,” Yan Jiao said through gritted teeth, moving aside to reveal Su Bai behind him.

“Eh? How come nothing’s wrong?” Yan Hua was shocked, turning her head to look at the timid fox eared girl, who was also full of energy, showing no signs of poisoning at all.

“What!? Were you hoping something had happened to the Shaman!?” Yan Jiao narrowed his eyes, his hand itching to give his Daughter a ‘loving Fatherly knuckle’ on the head. [This Daughter of mine needs a beating! How dare she trick us!? It had been ten years since I last beat her. Now, I suddenly felt like giving her a beating.]

“Huh? How could that be?” Yan Hua instantly understood that she must have misunderstood something.

“I just remembered, haha. I need to go on patrol…” she said with a laugh, seeing the unfriendly looks from her Uncles, she ran away at full speed.

“She’s driving me crazy! Who on earth does she take after!?” Yan Jiao cursed under his breath.

“Hehe…” Hei Ya, Da Gua, and Wa Ming all looked at Yan Jiao with cold smiles.

“What are you looking at? She’s definitely not like me!” Yan Jiao glared at them angrily, his eye twitching as he turned and left.

“Ah’Hua’s temperament is quite similar to the Chieftain when he was young,” Hei Ya calmly added salt to the wound.

“Stop talking. Let’s get going,” Wa Ming hurriedly said.

“Shaman, we’re going to connect the Hollow Logs,” Da Gua bowed and said.

“Be careful,” Su Bai earnestly prayed for their wellbeing.

“Yes,” they all responded.

“Haha… that was really funny,” Su Bai laughed.

“Shaman, will Sister Yan Hua be alright?” Yu Ying asked worriedly.

Su Bai tilted his head and said uncertainty, “She should be fine, right?”

*Whoosh!* The Teepee’s door flap was suddenly lifted, and the cow horned girl’s resentful red eyes looked at the two of them.

“Sister Yan Hua, didn’t you go on patrol?” Yu Ying asked with a blank expression.

“Hahaha…” Su Bai was amused again.

“Yu Ying, you two have gotten me into trouble!” Yan Hua said with a dejected expression.

Yu Ying blinked, asking innocently, “Will Uncle Yan Jiao hit your head again?”

“Definitely. I need to hide here tonight. Otherwise, Father will definitely punish me…” Yan Hua said dejectedly.

She thought about how she had just embarrassed her Father. With his unreasonable personality, a scolding was inevitable.

“Erm…” Yu Ying secretly glanced at Su Bai, not knowing how to respond.

If it were before, when the cow horned girl knew she was going to be scolded, she would come to hide at Yu Ying’s place. But now, Yu Ying was living with the Shaman. She had no right to shelter Yan Hua.

“Uh…” Yan Hua realised she had misspoken as soon as she finished, and was about to take back her words.

“It’s fine. We share some responsibility for you getting scolded,” Su Bai said softly.

“Eh? Really?” Yan Hua’s red eyes widened. She was about to say she was ‘just joking’ to brush it off. She did not expect the Shaman to actually agree to her request.

“En,” Su Bai nodded, not thinking it to be a big deal. It was not like they would be sleeping together.

“That’s great.” Yu Ying was elated, happy that the cow horned girl could escape her undeserved punishment.

“Yeah.” Yan Hua suddenly felt a bit embarrassed thinking about sleeping in the same Teepee as the Shaman tonight.

“Let’s prepare breakfast. We need to start working,” Su Bai instructed. There was a pile of things to do today, the Tribe’s transformation was urgent.

“Yes.” Yu Ying quickly responded, nimbly preparing to roast the dried meat.
