Chapter 244, Crying Yu Ying

Yu Ying blinked her pink eyes, paused for a moment, and stammered: “I met Sha Lan.”

Su Bai raised his thick eyebrows and asked, “Did she teach you to say all those things you just said?”

“No, no, no.” Yu Ying shook her head repeatedly, “She mentioned these things while chatting with me.”

The fox eared girl suddenly became a bit scared, as if she had done something wrong. However, seeing that he was not angry and remained gentle, she felt uncertain.

“She mentioned these while chatting with you?” Su Bai was surprised and continued to ask, “How did you two end up talking about these topics?”

“That day I was sewing linen clothes alone in the wooden house, and then Sha Lan came by.”

Yu Ying pointed her index finger to her chin thoughtfully and continued, “She saw that I was bored and started chatting with me.”

“Oh? What did you talk about?” Su Bai was curious and he asked, feeling that this cat eared girl seemed unusual.

“She asked what I was doing, then mentioned that we did not have enough people making linen, and also said… said that with such good ceramics, we could definitely exchange them for lots of food.” Yu Ying recalled.

Su Bai nodded thoughtfully, blinking his black eyes as he continued to ask. “Did she say anything else?”

Yu Ying nodded without hesitation, saying repeatedly. “Yes, yes, Sha Lan is very clever, she’s the smartest among us three.”

Among the fox eared girl, cat eared girl, and the cow horned girl, one was timid, one was quiet and clever, and the other was carefree.

“If I remember correctly, she’s a Warrior Trainee, right?” Su Bai asked.

“Yes, she’s like Ah’Hua, a Warrior Trainee,” Yu Ying nodded.

Su Bai pondered for a moment, murmuring, “If I’m not wrong, she isn’t that enthusiastic about becoming a Totem Warrior.”

Back then, among the three, only Yan Hua was keen on becoming Totem Warriors. Technically, it was because the fox eared girl did not possess the talent to become a Totem Warrior that she was not pushed into it. Sha Lan, who had some talent, was not completely passionate about becoming a Totem Warrior either. It just happened to suit her, and with Yan Hua’s constant invitation, she eventually caved.

“Yes, Sha Lan became a Totem Warrior because of Ah’Hua. Otherwise, she initially did not want to become one.” Yu Ying said in her soft, cute voice.

“No wonder, but her aptitude must be good. Otherwise, she couldn’t have become a Warrior Trainee, right?” Su Bai asked.

“En. Sha Lan had the talent. She will be a Totem Warrior in the future, but I heard her say that she actually doesn’t really like fighting… she also can’t keep up with the daily training.” Yu Ying said.

This was also why Sha Lan would find time to chat with the fox eared girl, because the fox eared girl understood her very well.

Su Bai thoughtfully blinked his black eyes, then looked up and asked, “What if we asked her to become a Shaman Priestess, do you think she would be willing?”

Yu Ying’s pink eyes widened in shock, and she stammered, “Shaman, you… you want… want her to be a Shaman Priestess?”

“Yes, do you think she would be willing?” Su Bai continued asking.

“She… she probably would,” Yu Ying lowered her head with a pitiful expression.

The fox eared girl’s expression suddenly deflated, looking very sad and somewhat self-deprecating.

Su Bai did not understand what was wrong with the fox eared girl at first, but seeing her like this, he suddenly realised.

He smiled and patted her head, comforting her. “Silly girl, you’re still my Shaman Priestess. I just wanted to recruit another one, don’t overthink things, okay?”

Yu Ying’s drooping fox ears suddenly perked up, and she raised her head tentatively, a little afraid as she asked, “Really? Are you really telling the truth?”

She had initially thought the Shaman was dissatisfied with her. In fact, tears had already formed in her pink eyes.

The fox eared girl thought the Shaman was unhappy with how she handled things, or that she was not taking good care of him. She was extremely worried, thinking the Shaman wanted to replace her.

Tears had already welled up in her eyes, but she kept biting her lips, holding them back, not daring to cry.

“Of course. You’ve taken such great care of me, why wouldn’t I want you by my side?” Su Bai smiled and rhetorically questioned back.

Seeing the fox eared girl desperately biting her lower lip, holding back tears and looking wronged, but was unable to cry… it was truly heartbreaking.

Yu Ying felt a warm hand comforting her on her head, making her feel a bit better.

She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked with a crying voice, “If Shaman thinks I take good care of you, why do you need another Shaman Priestess?”

This was what the fox eared girl feared most. Actually, since first becoming a Shaman Priestess, she had worried every day, afraid she was not doing well enough and would be disliked and replaced.

“Hahaha… Because you said Sha Lan is very clever, so I want her to help me.” Su Bai said.

“Am I not clever enough, is that why Shaman wants to find another Shaman Priestess?” Yu Ying lowered her head again.

“No, it’s because I have many tasks that need her help. For example, announcing this recruitment drive and handling some of the Tribe’s affairs.” Su Bai explained.

Yu Ying suddenly understood and sighed, “Oh, so that’s why. I thought Shaman didn’t want me anymore.”

“Hahaha… How could that be possible? The meat you roast and the noodles you cook are delicious, and the linen clothes you make are beautiful. How could I possibly dislike you?” Su Bai comfortingly said.

He had not thought about this aspect. He had not expected her thoughts to be so delicate, that she would think of this.

“Okay. Sha Lan will be more than willing.” Yu Ying composed herself, wiping away her tears.

Learning that she would not be replaced by the Shaman, the fox eared girl’s face began to show a smile. It no longer looked like she was about to cry like before.

“Then go call her over. We can ask her directly if she’s willing.” Su Bai said.

“Okay, I’ll go get her now.” Yu Ying nodded firmly and left the wooden house.

Ten minutes later, the fox eared girl returned to the wooden house with the cat eared girl, both of them heavily panting.

“Shaman, I brought Sha Lan.” Yu Ying said while catching her breath.

“Shaman, why did you call for me so late in the night? Is something wrong?” Sha Lan asked, puzzled by the circumstances. On the way here, she had kept asking the fox eared girl, but got no answer.

After asking this, she lowered her head slightly, her blue eyes not daring to look at him.

The cat eared girl was seeing the Shaman up close for the first time. However, since she found Su Bai to be extremely handsome, she could not help feeling shy. Furthermore, Su Bai was the Tribe’s new Shaman, and she had always been somewhat afraid of Shamans. Even though the Old Shaman was gone, she was still a bit scared.

“I wanted to ask if you’d be willing to become a Shaman Priestess?” Su Bai straightforwardly said.

Sha Lan’s blue eyes widened, her cat ears twitching, as she exclaimed in surprise. “Shaman, you want me to be a Shaman Priestess?”
