I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 185, You Also Have Linen Clothing?

Translator: Silavin

Yu Ying walked to the training ground and softly said, “Chieftain, the Shaman wants you to lead our people to the outskirts of the Tribe.”

Yan Jiao put down the recurve bow in his hand and asked, “What’s the matter? Does the Shaman have any arrangements?”

He saw that the fox eared girl was wearing linen clothing, and started cursing the cow horned girl in his mind. [If she had become a Shaman Priestess, she could also be wearing linen clothing! I’ve given her many opportunities to become a Shaman Priestess, but she insists on becoming a Totem Warrior! I really need to have a good talk with Yan Hua tonight!]

“The Shaman said that the scattered people of the Tribe are about to arrive. He wants you to go to the outskirts of the Tribe to welcome them.” Yu Ying said word for word.

“What!? They’re about to come back?” Yan Jiao’s face broke into a smile.

He had already received news last night that Qing Yan, Yue, and some other scattered members of the Tribe had been found.

“Cheng Shi saw them on his way back. The Shaman said the timing should be about right.” Yu Ying said.

“Great! I’ll lead them there right now. You should go back and continue taking care of the Shaman.” Yan Jiao said, his eyebrows raised with joy.

Yu Ying nodded, but before she could speak, she saw the Chieftain quickly run away.

She saw him find Cang Shi and several other Totem Warriors and Warrior Trainees before leaving, heading directly towards the outskirts of the Tribe.

“Xiao Yu, why are you here?” Yan Hua called out to her as the fox eared girl was about to leave.

Yu Ying turned her head and said softly, “The Shaman asked me to tell your Father that Ai’er and the others are about to return.”

“Really? Shall we go and see them?” Yan Hua also became excited.

“I need to go back to the Shaman. I don’t know if he needs my help with anything.” Yu Ying said, seeming troubled.

Yan Hua pursed her lips and nodded, saying, “Alright then, you go back to the Shaman first. I’ll go find my Father and the others.”

“Okay,” Yu Ying said softly.

Yan Hua turned around excitedly and ran. Her running showed how happy she was.

A few minutes later, the cow horned girl also arrived at the outskirts of the Tribe. Even before she arrived, she could see the expectant silhouettes of Yan Jiao and the others.

“Father…” Yan Hua waved her hand.

Yan Jiao turned his head at the sound and asked, “Why aren’t you training? What are you doing here?”

“I came to see them.” Yan Hua’s clear voice rang out.

“Alright.” Yan Jiao was about to turn his head when he noticed something was amiss. He turned back to look at the cow horned girl and asked, “Where did you get your linen clothing?”

Yan Hua unconsciously looked at her own linen clothing and raised her head, saying, “The Shaman gave it to me.”

Yan Jiao was stunned. After coming to his senses, he asked, “Why did the Shaman give you linen clothing? You’re not a Shaman Priestess.”

He could not understand this at all. He had just been thinking that being the Shaman Priestess was the best option for her. Yet, she was now able to wear linen clothing. He had been feeling disappointed in his Daughter, but she had obtained the same benefits as the Shaman Priestess.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, his Daughter now also had linen clothing when she was not even a Shaman Priestess.

“I don’t know either. The Shaman gave it to me this morning. Xiao Yu has one too.” Yan Hua shrugged.

“It’s normal for her to have one because she’s the Shaman Priestess…” Yan Jiao suddenly paused, then continued to ask, “Could it be… could it be that you’ve become a Shaman Priestess too?”

He suddenly had a feeling that his Daughter had finally become what he had dreamed of. For a moment, he felt like shedding tears of joy.

“No,” Yan Hua mercilessly said.

Yan Jiao covered his face with one hand, knowing he had thought too much, and asked, “Then, why did the Shaman suddenly give you linen clothing?”

“Father should ask the Shaman himself. I didn’t want to accept it, but the Shaman said if I did not want it, he’d give it to someone else.” Yan Hua spread her hands out.

“Alright.” Yan Jiao did not know what else to ask. In any case, this was a good thing. This just showed how his Daughter has taken the first step. Maybe she would change her mind slowly in the future.

Yan Hua kept looking into the depths of the forest and asked, “Father, I heard from Cheng Shi that it’s Uncle Qing Yan and the others.”

“Yes, with Qing Yan back, the Tribe’s strength can be said to have slightly recovered.” Yan Jiao said with vigour.

“I heard Sister Yue is also there.” Yan Hua said expectantly.

The person she wanted to see most was Yue, because she had trained with Yue before.

“It doesn’t matter who comes back, as long as it’s people from our Tribe, we will welcome them with open arms.” Yan Jiao’s tone became excited.

He was already impatient to see those that had scattered. If it was not for the Black Snake Tribe, they would still be living a peaceful life in the Ancestral Land.

Ten minutes later, Humanoid figures slowly began to appear from the depths of the forest. From the initial three or four, to the final dozen or so, and even more. These figures slowly changed from being as small as black beans to having clear outlines. The first to be seen was Ai’er flying in front.

“Father, look! It’s Ai’er and the others! They’re back!” Yan Hua happily exclaimed.

Yan Jiao just nodded silently, his red eyes excitedly watching them.

“Walk faster!” Cang Shi was already excited to the point of shouting.

Yan Hua waved to Ai’er from afar, constantly standing on tiptoes to look into the distance.

A few minutes later, Shu Feng led Qing Yan and the others to the outskirts of the Tribe. Including Ai’er, there were twenty-five people in total.

“Chieftain, it’s been a long time. How have you been?” Qing Yan spoke first.

On the way here, he had heard that Yan Jiao had succeeded as the Tribe’s Chieftain. At first, he was surprised that it was not Shan Qiu.

It should be known that the most qualified people to succeed this position in the Tribe were Shan Qiu and Yan Jiao. Of course, Shan Qiu was older, so his qualifications were a bit better.

When he heard that Shan Qiu had lost both his legs, his green eyes were full of regret, but at the same time, he was happy for Yan Jiao’s promotion to Mid-Stage Totem Warrior.

“I’m doing well. You all have suffered, but now that you’re back in the Tribe, we won’t let you suffer anymore.” Yan Jiao excitedly said.

Cang Shi heartily patted Qing Yan’ back and said, “You’ve taken good care of them all.”

He saw that the others were also in good condition, with no one missing arms or legs. They also did not seem like they had been starving for days.

“Of course.” Qing Yan also responded heartily, and continued to ask, “How is the Tribe?”

“I’ll take you to see the Shaman first. We can talk more tonight.” Yan Jiao said in a deep voice.

He suddenly felt that three grown men getting emotional on the outskirts of the Tribe was not a very aesthetically pleasing scene.

“Good. Let’s go see the Shaman first.” Qing Yan was already impatient to see the Shaman.

“Qing Mu, Chi Tu, and Mai Mao, you take the others to rest first. I’ll arrange their accommodation later.” Yan Jiao instructed.

Qing Mu and the other two immediately stood straight and responded in unison, “Yes, Chieftain. Leave it to us.”

Yan Jiao soon led Qing Yan and Yue towards the Main Teepee, with the cow horned girl following closely behind. She had not seen Yue for a while and wanted to stay by her side for a bit longer.
