At the A’wu clan’s residence
Meng’s hand stretched out to touch Dofie’s face.
Dofie held the transparent crystal in front of her chest and courageously let down her defensive wall.
“There’s no markings on your face.” Meng wondered, “but you’ve clearly awakened your godblood ability.”
Dofie’s eyes shifted for a bit. She tried to answer as quickly as she can so that the man wouldn’t be suspicious, but she didn’t speak the entire truth. “Everyone in my clan feel that the tattoos on our faces look ugly. Our priest happened to have received the ability to remove the tattoos after communication with god.”
“Oh? Then how do you determine the warrior’s level?”
“After getting their abilities verified by the Priest, warriors can receive ornaments and clothes representing their levels.”
“Clothes? you can make clothes?” Hearing clothes, Meng recalled the test Yan Mo had given A’wu people. No one had been able to make that ‘linen’ he described. Even if they managed to make one, the holes between the threads are too big to wear it as clothes. But as Meng looked at the cloth with big holes, he intuitively felt that it could be very useful.
“Yes,” Dofie confirmed. Although she had never made clothes with her own hands, she had seen the maids make them.
He patted her happily, “Okay then. I’ll get some of the women to carry the flax thread over, you teach them how.”
Dofie nodded, showing a genuine smile that also curved her eyes. It’s all fine as long as she can meet other people. And women are always more willing to listen than men.
Dofie celebrated too early. She knew how clothes are made, but what she knew was how to cut and sew cloths that had already been woven. She had no idea how to make threads become a piece of cloth.
When people jeered at her, Dofie could only display her healing ability again, she wanted to intimidate these barbarians.
The barbarians really got intimidated, but when people with injuries and disabilities started lining up in front of her tent asking to be treated, she nearly blacked out.
It’s not like her ability is inexhaustible, okay?!
Her ability can heal people and regenerate lost limbs, but it does it by absorbing the life force of the surrounding creatures and her own energy. Small injuries are still fine, she can heal those three to five times a day. But for physical disabilities like Black-skin’s, using her ability once every three days was already forcing it for her. If it’s regenerating limbs, then she’d have to rest even longer.
And now, so many people came to line up… and so many have no arms and no legs, how long will she spend just treating and treating?
Moreover, every living being in the area, including those barbarians, will feel drained with so many highly demanding treatments back to back. The more she does it, the weaker they’ll feel.
Although they are savages, they’re not idiots. With more time they’ll eventually notice what’s wrong, and by then, they’ll no longer in awe of this ability even if it’s still needed.
Dofie was forced to go to Meng, the only one who could understand her. she first let Meng take advantage of her body again, and when he was satisfied, she mentioned that her ability had limitations.
With Zhan as precedent, Meng understood more about the limitations of abilities than other people. After hearing her say this, he didn’t force her to do much else, saying to leave it to him.
Right before he left the tent, Meng looked back and told Dofie who was laying on one side, “You are slave, I won’t kill you even if you don’t know how to make clothes, but you better not lie to me again in the future.”
Dofie had to nod in a demure manner even though she felt like she could burst from anger alone.
“”
At the encampment.
Yuan Zhan didn’t rush into the tent right away, all of these preys need to be dealt with and he was still needed to allocate the work.
Yuan Zhan assigned the work to skin and cut meat pieces on all the people who didn’t go hunting this time. He left Da Ze in charge of the specifics of how to distribute the work.
Those people naturally had no complaints on this, since going hunting was tougher jobs, less cozy and had way more risk.
There were currently no women and families with kids in the tribe, so everyone shared a big pot of meal, the troublesome works like distributing meat chunks and pelts to everyone can be skipped for now.
It’s cold, so they didn’t have to go out of their way to salt the meat, they can keep it from rotting just by hanging it outside to freeze. When they want to eat it, just bring it inside to thaw a bit and cut out how much they want.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Skinning the preys is the most troublesome work, it depends on your skill, not everyone was skilled at it. The hunting group who didn’t get assigned work officially didn’t really sit on the side and just watch. They’d come up to the other group when they see them struggling with the workload.

Yan Mo found that aside from the twenty and more wild mountain goats, several roe deers, a dozen of fat hares and a number of foxes, the haul consisted of more than fifty wolf skins and four of this beast. It had a donkey-like head, thick lush fur on its body, four claws like beasts of prey and a whip-like tail.
They got so many wolf skins! Yan Mo drew back his gaze.
“There’re too many preys to carry back with our number and wolf meat isn’t that delicious, so only the peeled skins are brought back. This is Long-faced beast.” Yuan Zhan took the time to tell Yan Mo this when he finished assigning the work to everyone. His finger pointed to the weird looking beast, “They like to move with their whole family, so I got to kill both parents and youngs.”
“you didn’t let even the young ones go?” Yan Mo thought that this thing looked like that donkey head beast in Hua myths.
“Yeah. This thing is vengeful. Once it saw you killing its parents, t’ll be waiting for an opportunity to strike back one day. These wolves are like that too, so I killed them all! These weren’t all of them. Some of the skins were too broken, so I didn’t bring it back.”
Yan Mo’s face twitched. After adding up the number of the wolf skins, Yuan Zhan might have killed about 100 beasts in this hunt. No wonder the guide gave him 20 points increase all at once.
100 : 20. A ratio of 5:1. does that mean that the guide approves of humans killing no more than five beasts to satisfy their hunger? But the number may be different for different beasts.
“Were you surrounded by wolves?”
“Mn.” Yuan Zhan’s face suddenly turned cold, probably thinking back of the scene of getting surrounded by wolves. “I’m the only warrior in the team, there’ll definitely be casualties facing so many wolves.”
“So, you killed them first?”
“Mn.”
“Maybe they were hunting the goats, not you.” Yan Mo said bitterly. According to his understanding of the guide rules, he wouldn’t have gained that many scum points unless the wolves never had the intention to attack the hunting team.
“Maybe. But I am the leader. I have to eliminate all threats.”
Yan Mo didn’t insist on clinging onto this point, “Good work, let’s go back to the tent. I made something delicious when the patrol reported you guys are back, it’s all ready, just waiting for you to eat.”
How can Yuan Zhan say no to that? He immediately moved towards the tent while pulling Yan Mo.
Just as Yan Mo said, a pot of soup was simmering in the tent. The smell was online anything else before.
“It’s fish soup, already completely cooked. It can dispel the cold and warm the body, and replenish the vital essence.”
Yuan Zhan already sat down beside the fire pit and grabbed the wooden ladle and ate out of the ladle without waiting for Yan Mo to finish his introduction.
The first taste didn’t feel bad for him, so he ladled another scoop, then looked up at Yan Mo who didn’t move his hand to get some food, and wondered, “Why aren’t you eating?”
“I already ate. This was made for you, you can eat it.”
Yuan Zhan stirred the pot with the wooden ladle, “It is delicious, but the meat is too mushy. After I eat this, make me that honey roast meat you made last time again.”
You wish! Yan Mo smiled, “Maybe tomorrow, it’s already dark. It’s not good to sleep with a very full stomach.”
“Why’s it not good?” Yuan Zhan muttered. He was planning to eat up a lot so that he’ll have a lot of energy to pump and plow, he had been waiting for this day for so long!
Yan Mo didn’t continue the topic and instead turned it away, “How’s the effect of that training method?”
Seeing his serious expression, Yuan Zhan truthfully told him what he felt after using it. In general, he felt that his movements were faster and more accurate than before. A move he found difficult to do can now be executed more easily, Most importantly is his fine control on his ability, he felt that it was easier to do as he wanted, and his depth and range for his ability got larger and farther.
“You may feel that you are making big and significant progress in the beginning, and as you go on it feels like it’s slowing down and becoming smaller. This is all normal.” Yan Mo talked from his own experience from working out in the last world.
Yuan Zhan nodded, seeming like he didn’t care much about Yan Mo’s talks. When in fact, he keeps what Yan Mo says to him word by word in his mind and never forgets them.
Yuan Zhan licked the entire pot of soup clean. Even after all that, he’s not completely satisfied. Yan Mo didn’t seem like he’ll cook anything more, so he can only go cut slices of meat and roast it himself.
This appetite! Yan Mo can’t help but doubt if the prey they caught today can really last until spring arrived as they say. This was also an estimation for the current 30 something people. Once the rest of the A’wu people arrived, this number of prey won’t be enough no matter what.
But, why isn’t he down yet? Did he not put enough in? Or was it him who hadn’t grasped how much warriors’ bodies can detoxify?
Yuan Zhan, who finally had enough to eat and drink, got up. His pair of narrow eyes blazing with desire stared at Yan Mo, like a wolf who had locked on to his prey.
He walked up to the boy sitting on the grass roll playing with his knife, and stretched out a hand to touch his face.
Yan Mo looked up.
Yuan Zhan licked his lips, “Go to bed.” His lower body thrust forward as if to illustrate what he meant.
Golden needles sprung out with a flick of Yan Mo’s hand. “Go by yourself.”
“Sleep together.” Yuan Zhan firmly refused refusal.
“No.”
Yuan Zhan glanced at his golden needle. As his hand raised and pose as a threat, Yuan Zhan retreated.
This guy still knows how to read the mood, Yan Mo thought, when the earth around him rose and enveloped him, locking him in place. He can’t even move the his hands on both sides.
“This was how I defeated those wolves. At first I could only capture one, but alter on, I could capture more than twenty at once. Too bad that the first batch got too many holes in them because I used the spikes.” Greed and cruelty seeped from his eyes, something Yan Mo knew well.
“They howled, they don’t know why there’s suddenly spikes on the ground, can’t understand why the earth would suddenly trap them.”
Yuan Zhan went to Yan Mo again and reached out to touch his face again. This time, his touch was slow and thorough. “Because I am descended from the God of Earth. Anything that lives on the land is mine to control. Including you, my Priest-daren.”
Yuan Zhan lowered his head and bit hard on his Lord Priest’s face.
Yan Mo winced. But he’s more shocked at this man’s ambition. It’s true what they say, desire and power feeds the human ambition.
“You want to do me, like this? How? Open up a hole on the ground?
Yuan Zhan laughed at his words. He pinched Yan Mo’s face and pulled at his auricle. His hand touched the soil that kept his body in place and it fell down from his body.
Yuan Zhan easily pulled Yan Mo up.
Yan Mo looked at the cloth-like soil wrapped around his arms and waist, then at his two feet that was still buried inside the soil. The soil on the ground was even spreading his legs bit by bit.
Yan Mo sighed, “You’ve really sharpened your ability just to sleep with me.”
Yuan Zhan thought he was complimenting him. He walked around behind the boy and bend his upper half forward.
“Fuck! You’re going to do it standing up? Are you a dog!?” Yan Mo can’t believe this guy could last for so long, why isn’t the medicine working yet?
“It feels better like this.” Yuan Zhan didn’t understand the word 'dog', if he did, he’d definitely bite Yan Mo hard again.
“Wait!”
“Not waiting!”
“You have to wait!” Yan Mo roared, “Yuan Zhan, do you know that each time you sleep with me, my body will get seriously injured!”
Yuan Zhan’s hand stopped in the middle of lifting his skirt. “Injured?”
“Yes! Last time you entered me, I was in pain for several days, did you forget?”
Did you forget that I was in pain for the next few days after you slept with me last time?”
“Not because of your injured leg?”
“Of course not.” Yan Mo softened his tone and slowly straightened up. “Ah Zhan, you shouldn’t injure me like this if I’m really important to you. I don’t want to hate you. Don’t make me hate you, okay?”
“How can sleeping… harm you? If you mean the bleeding, we can use animal fat down there, Wen Sheng and the others do that.” Yuan Zhan was puzzled, not knowing why he can’t do it, but he stayed still and didn’t continue with his plans from before.
“The Primordial God said that human’s body under 18 years old is not yet mature, just like a young beast that hasn’t grown up. Have you ever seen adult beasts push down young beasts?”
“Fourteen is no longer young.”
“Who said so? You’re not an adult yet either. your body isn’t fully developed yet. The fact that you’re still growing and still getting taller is proof of that!”
“Are you saying that people are only adults when they no longer grow?” Yuan Zhan laughed at him.
“Don’t laugh, it’s true. The younger the person is when they do that kind of thing, the bigger the harm is. Haven’t you noticed that some of the slaves or your own clansmen, whether it was man or woman, will die young after they grow up? And that they’d usually be in poor health. Especially those who were forcefully violated.
Yuan Zhan flipped around to his front, now facing him, his expression was hard, “You mean, if I sleep with you now, you won’t live for long?”
Yan Mo nodded, “You should’ve noticed it too, am I right?”
Yuan Zhan didn’t speak. His tribesmen would often die out of nowhere, and slaves even more. Who would think deeper about why that happens? But aside from people wask killed or died from battle, it does seem like people who aren’t warriors dies younger, especially the young slaves.
If Mo’s not lying to him…
Yuan Zhan gritted his teeth, “Then won’t I have to wait until four springs later to sleep with you again! That’s too long!”
Even better if you never sleep with Laozi again. Yan Mo wouldn’t say that at this moment, of course. He can only resort to stalling tactics. Before he is strong enough to defeat this guy, one more year stalled is one more year gained.
And so he made his voice gentler and softer, “Four years is not that long, you are still growing up too, It’s not good to do too much of that. On the contrary, since you’re still young, the more every you have stored, the faster your ability will upgrade.”
Yan Mo used facts to reason with him , emphasising the various harm to a man’s body if he does it too much, not holding back on any embellishments.
“A drop of essence is ten drops of blood. You vent now, you suffer tomorrow. If not, I could’ve gotten myself a woman to give birth to my own children already. I’m the priest, and like you said fourteen is old enough. So why didn’t I? If I can’t before, I can definitely find someone who wants to serve me within A’wu people, right? Aren’t I doing all this for the good of my own body… Ah Zhan?
The man in front of him suddenly lurched forward.
The sudden weight pressed Yan Mo down, he ended up lying on the ground. Good thing his lost control of his ability when he lost his strength and the soil wrapping his feet loosened, or his feet would’ve snapped just like that.
As soon as Yan Mo felt that the soil he grabbed her, immediately drooped her armors and legs and turned, trying to get the man half-crushed. I wanted to step on it, but my fleet stopped.
If he continues to fight this beast, animal he will no doubt doubt what he says. And I heard him say that he was not sure if the animal fight would continue. They immediately lost their deep friendship.
Yuan Zhan felt so extremely stifled!
he even struggled to speak.
“I’m the priest. No one can do that to me if I don’t want to!” Why would Yan Mo reveal his cards to him. “That was just to test you.”
“…Did I pass?”
“Barely.” Yan Mo squatted down in front of him and poked him in the face. “You dare bite me? You fucking left tooth mark on my face!”
Yuan Zhan stared at the tooth mark and smugly smiled, but he couldn’t move his face muscle that much. “Must… wait till… eighteen, true?”
“If that’s a lie, I don’t know what truth is anymore.” Yan Mo put on a serious face, “When we establish the tribe, I will officially announce to everyone that members below the age of sixteen can’t do intercourse. Anyone who violates children under sixteen years old will be punished.”
“Sixteen?”
“Is that all you hear?” Yan Mo really can’t do anything to this small beast with sperm in his brain. “The age limit is sixteen so everyone can adapt to it. The punishment is because people below sixteen years old are more vulnerable, they’ll be able to protect themselves after sixteen. Do you agree?”
Yuan Zhan didn’t want to agree at all. Once he agreed, he’d really have to wait until his family’s priest turned eighteen before he can touch him.
“If you don’t agree, then just keep on lying there.” Yan Mo reached into animal-Zhan’s pelt skirt.
Yuan Zhan hissed, then his eyes narrowed.
“Do you agree? Hm??”
Poor Yuan Zhan had never once in his life got subjected to such a ‘cruel torture’, not to mention the one ‘torturing’ him is his own Priest-daren, it didn’t take long before he caved in.
“Agree?”
“…Mnh!” Yuan Zhan shamefully surrendered.
Padam: bear with mee. Ancestor god changed to Primordial God, witch changed back to shaman, I can’t stick with witch in the end, even though witchcraft and witches’ fruit sound nicer.
