I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 267, Don’t Squeeze Too Tight

Translator: Silavin

Yu Ying held Rolly tightly, refusing to let go, her face constantly nuzzling against its face.

She hugged it tightly with both arms and happily exclaimed, “Shaman, Rolly is so cute!”

“Haha… don’t hold it too tightly, you might squeeze it to death.” Su Bai said with an amused expression.

Watching the fox eared girl holding Rolly so tightly, he found the scene quite endearing.

A person and a cat, both looking adorable. It was quite a sight to behold.

Yu Ying seemed to realise she was holding too tight and quickly loosened her grip, laughing awkwardly, “Rolly is just too cute.”

Truth be told, although the fox eared girl had lived in the Primitive Tribe for many years, this was her first time seeing such an adorable beast.

After being ‘rescued’, Rolly immediately found a place to hide, its pitch-black exterior made it barely visible in the shadows.

“Shaman, did I scare it? Why did it hide?” Yu Ying asked, sounding guilty.

Su Bai smiled gently, reaching out his large hand to pat the fox eared girl’s head, “No, Rolly is just unfamiliar with this place. It will get used to the environment soon enough.”

[Cats are all like this, always a bit shy in new environments. Plus, after being squeezed so tightly by you, it naturally needed to find a place to hide and catch its breath after finally breaking free.]

Rolly vigilantly surveyed its surroundings, its black eyes curiously moving about.

*Meow~* It raised its back leg to rub its face, trying to relieve the pressure from being squeezed against someone’s face earlier.

It was probably thinking how terrifying Humans were, doing such things right after they first met.

“Shaman, where did Rolly come from?” Yu Ying curiously asked, her pink eyes never leaving it.

The fox eared girl was restraining her urge to rush over and hug it again, its round face and round eyes were just too appealing.

“It probably got lost, It is most likely from somewhere in the forest and had managed to wander into our Tribe.” Su Bai speculated.

Even the Chieftain did not know what kind of animal it was, so he knew even less about where Rolly came from.

Most likely, it came from the forest, but how could there be a cat identical to those of Earth in this primitive era?

Though there were many questions, three words were enough to settle all debates – it was cute. As long as it posed no threat, keeping it around would be nice. At the very least, this cat’s presence would be therapeutic and it could be petted when one felt stressed.

“That’s so sad, Rolly’s Mother must be waiting for it to return.” Yu Ying said worriedly.

“Looking at Rolly’s size, it’s probably not young anymore. It most likely has been living independently from its Mother for a long time.” Su Bai comforted the fox eared girl.

“Shaman, can we keep it?” Yu Ying looked up with hopeful eyes, her pink eyes blinking.

Su Bai smiled gently and nodded, “Sure, let’s keep it.”

“Yay! Wonderful! Now we can live together with Rolly!” Yu Ying was so happy her pink fox tail kept wagging non-stop.

“It’s getting late. Time to sleep. Take Rolly outside, we can bring it back in tomorrow.” Su Bai cautiously said.

Yu Ying looked disappointed but understood that unknown creatures could still be dangerous.

Although Rolly looked very cute and harmless, they had to be careful since this was not just any wooden house, but the Tribe’s Shaman’s wooden house.

The fox eared girl gently approached Rolly with a small piece of dried meat to lure it out.

“Come out, it’s okay. This dried meat is very tasty, would you like to try?” Yu Ying said in a soft voice.

Hearing her gentle voice, Rolly slowly emerged from the darkness.

When its two paws first appeared, it was incredibly adorable – they were all fluffy and round.

*Meow~* Rolly gave a soft meow and fully emerged from the darkness, taking the piece of dried meat in its mouth.

Yu Ying took the chance to pick Rolly up, but her movements were very gentle and light, afraid of startling it.

The fox eared girl held Rolly with a reluctant expression as she looked at Su Bai and started heading toward the door flap.

“Shaman, I can take it to Da Shan. Everyone says he’s very careful and cautious. He should be able to take good care of Rolly.” Yu Ying suggested.

“It’s alright, you can put it down.” Su Bai said, seeing her pitiful expression and feeling reluctant himself, “Put Rolly down, it can stay tonight.”

Yu Ying widened her eyes and shook her head repeatedly, refusing, “No, Shaman, it’s too dangerous.”

Although she really liked Rolly, when comparing a cat to the Shaman’s safety, the latter was definitely more important. She absolutely could not and would not put the Shaman’s safety at risk just for a cat.

“It’s fine, I have a way to make it safe,” Su Bai said.

Yu Ying promptly put Rolly down and blinked her pink eyes expectantly, “How?”

“I can make it obedient.” Su Bai smiled, thinking that he could finally put his Taming Skill to good use.

He had this Skill for some time now but had not found the chance to Tame any beast.

Being able to Tame an unknown animal now was an excellent opportunity, especially since he also hoped Rolly could stay in the wooden house.

Su Bai reached out his right hand toward Rolly, activating his Taming Skill. A pale blue light immediately appeared in his palm.

The pale blue light spread from just a small spot in his palm to all five fingers.

The emanating pale blue light was like vines, completely enveloping Rolly.

“Is this a new Shaman Technique?” Yu Ying widened her pink eyes. This was the first time she had seen this coloured light from the Shaman.

She became even more puzzled, having always heard that Shaman Techniques were very difficult to learn. Yet, in such a short time, she had seen the Shaman use many different Shaman Techniques.

Su Bai withdrew his hand, and after a minute, the pale blue light dissipated.

He smiled and said, “There, even if Rolly posed an issue before, it won’t harm us now.”

[It took about a minute to complete the Taming Skill. Seems like if the target is larger, it would take longer…]
