I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 269, Why Does Its Cry Sound So Strange?

Translator: Silavin

Yan Hua followed Su Bai back to the wooden house since morning training had not started yet.

She thought she would have breakfast at the Shaman’s wooden house today, as she had not eaten yet.

“Shaman, breakfast is ready.” Yu Ying stood up and noticed the cow horned girl, continuing, “Ah’Hua, are you joining us for breakfast too?”

“Yes, I haven’t eaten breakfast yet so I’m really hungry.” Yan Hua reached to pat her stomach.

“I made extra today, expecting either you or Sha Lan to come.” Yu Ying’s gentle voice rang out.

Su Bai nodded and said, “Let’s start. I’m quite hungry too.”

“Alright, I’ll get everything ready right away, please wait a moment, Shaman.” Yu Ying said hurriedly.

*Meow~* As the fox eared girl turned to get the bowls, Rolly’s cry echoed in the wooden house.

Yu Ying froze, resisting the urge to turn back and pet the cat. She could only go get the bowls, since she had already spent the whole morning petting it.

Yan Hua reacted differently, her red eyes widening, her hair standing on end.

She lowered her brows, looking solemn. She stretched out both arms to protect the Shaman, and anyone in the house, alertly warning, “Shaman, Xiao Yu, get behind me, there’s a Ferocious Beast in the wooden house.”

Though she was on high alert, she did find this cry to be quite strange. After all, this Ferocious Beast’s cry sounds very peculiar. It did not sound fierce, rather it had a… kind of cutely fierce quality that was oddly endearing.

*Pfft…* Su Bai almost spat out the water he had just drunk, laughing as he said, “Ah’Hua, relax. That isn’t a Ferocious Beast.”

“Hahaha…” Yu Ying covered her mouth and laughed, “Ah’Hua, you’re overthinking things, that’s just Rolly’s meowing.”

“Rolly?” Yan Hua’s outstretched hands still had not lowered as she continued asking, “Who?”

The cow horned girl was still worried, but seeing the Shaman and Xiao Yu’s expressions, she started to feel that maybe this was not as serious of a matter as she had thought.

Su Bai lowered Yan Hua’s slender hands and said, “See for yourself, it won’t hurt us.”

“Yes, Rolly is very cute, Ah’Hua will definitely like it too.” Yu Ying said confidently, because that was how she felt.

Yan Hua’s furrowed brows gradually relaxed as she asked with uncertainty, “Really, there’s no problem?”

*Meow~* Rolly lazily meowed again and began slowly coming to rub against Su Bai’s feet.

Yan Hua immediately rushed in front of Su Bai, pushing Rolly away and glaring sternly at the cat. She continued holding out her arms, scolding, “With me here, you’re not allowed to harm the Shaman.”

“Hahaha…” The usually timid fox eared girl held her stomach, bending over with laughter.

Su Bai also laughed, though he felt touched – back on Earth, no girl had ever gone to such lengths for him.

He placed his hand on Yan Hua’s shoulder and gently said, “Don’t worry, it’s really not dangerous.”

“That’s right, this is the Shaman’s pet. Rolly won’t hurt us,” Yu Ying nodded and continued, “By the way, its name is Rolly.”

“Rolly?” Only after seeing both of them so certain there would be no problems did Yan Hua begin to lower her guard.

Meanwhile, Rolly, who had been pushed aside, looked completely bewildered, staring dumbly at the cow horned girl.

Its expression seemed to say, ‘What did I do wrong? How could you treat a delicate little kitty like me like this?’

Yu Ying quickly ran over, picked up Rolly and rubbed its head a few times, then offered it to Yan Hua, “Ah’Hua, try holding it!”

After learning it posed no threat, Yan Hua began to examine the black cat carefully. She looked for a full minute before appreciating its cuteness, and then instantly fell for it.

*Meow! Meow!* The cow horned girl immediately took the cat from the fox eared girl’s hands and began vigorously rubbing her face against Rolly’s face.

“Why are you so cute? I’m really sorry about how I treated you just now.” she had completely changed her attitude.

Rolly once again wore a resigned expression. After all, this was not the first time this had happened. This had been ongoing since last night through till this morning…

One could say it had reached the peak of a cat’s life – in just over ten hours, two beautiful girls had held it.

“Hahaha… I knew it.” Su Bai laughed and shook his head, having predicted this scene would occur.

Indeed, as they say, few girls could resist a cat’s charm, especially a round, plump cat.

After the brief cat-petting interlude, they finally started properly having breakfast, though during the meal, the two girls still could not help themselves.

They kept running to play with Rolly while chewing their food, their faces blooming with smiles.

Su Bai rarely saw the two girls looking so happy. It just confirmed that adopting this cat had been the right choice.

Yet, he had a feeling this cat was not as simple as it appeared on the surface. It was just that he could not pinpoint exactly what was different.

He always felt its current harmless appearance was just a disguise. However, its true nature remained unknown, and had yet to be seen.

Fortunately, he had already used his Taming Skill on it, so even if it had another fiercer side to it, it could not harm them now.

Half an hour later, after the three finished their breakfast, Yan Hua left for training as usual.

Only Su Bai and the fox eared girl remained in the wooden house, with the latter sewing linen clothes as usual.

Su Bai sat in his spot, thinking about how he had gotten some wheat seeds from the Assistance Package a few days ago.

He had been planning to plant them these days, but the sweet potato issue came to mind.

He had not expected the crops on this land to grow so slowly, becoming just like that on Earth. If he were to sow the wheat seeds now, based on Earth’s growth rates, they definitely would not be harvestable before the rainy season.

The Tribe’s rainy season was about twenty days away. By then, the wheat would not have matured. Planting the seeds now would undoubtedly be a waste.

“This is so troublesome…” Su Bai muttered to himself.

He was already eager to taste wheat, but the approaching rainy season had disrupted his plans.

[What if we built a greenhouse? That should solve the problem, right?] Su Bai thought of the greenhouses in Earth’s northeast region.

Those greenhouses could grow crops even during snowy winters, making them quite valuable.

[Let’s build a greenhouse then. After all, it snows here in winter too, and I do not want the production of crops to die down during winter.] Su Bai thought of this point.
