Once Wu Chen stepped away, Yuan Zhan pinned down the tent curtain with lumps of earth. He added some wood to the fire and made the fire burn higher before putting a pot on it to boil water.
Some of Yan Mo’s habit rubbed onto Yuan Zhan since they’re living together. Such as moving to boil water even if it’s not going to be used soon, or drinking water that’s been boiled if he can help it. And other things that seem small, like routinely washing face, hands, and feet and chewing on grassroots.
Yuan Zhan went back to the bed and lifted the fur on the bed. He looked at Yan Mo’s fur coat, and thought to himself: How uncomfortable must that be, if you sleep of course you have to take off everything.
As if he really was just concerned about sleep quality.
And so… Yan Mo quickly got stripped of all clothes.
There was a fire burning in the tent, but the temperature was still low. Goosebumps quickly rose across Yan Mo’s skin.
Yuan Zhan stroked his Priest-daren, then very calmly took off his pelt clothes in the shortest time he could manage, climbed onto the bed and hugged Priest-daren who’s also naked like him.
“I’m doing this to keep you warm, that’s what you taught me.” Certain someone said without shame.
“Right, what was the other thing that can get you warmer quicker?” Someone’s hands rubbed the person in his arms.
“Rubbing!” He slapped the butt that had fattened up compared to before. “Am I right, I remembered correctly, didn’t I? Here you go, I’ll help you rub so it’ll get warmer…”
And that’s how Yan Mo was rubbed over and over from top to bottom, from inside and out in the arms of this certain someone.
After the deed was done, Yuan Zhan who had scored one proudly noted that the person in his arms really felt warmer than before. His diligent side rarely came out, he wiped Yan Mo’s body with hot water and obliterated all evidence of his crime.
Thank the Primordial God for his Lord Priest’s special constitution. He got carried away while doing it and bit him, but see, even that tooth mark was already disappearing now.

That evening, everyone gathered around a bonfire. Yuan Zhan participated in the celebration as the tribe’s chieftain.
Due to health reasons, Priest was absent.
The joyous atmosphere was noticeably subdued, but the gathering was still quite lively. Those who had gone through the long journey now got hot food and water and can eat as much as they want, they’d be able to sleep in a safe and warm place tonight. It was like something out of a dream.
Dofie wanted to get close to Yuan Zhan, but she caught sight of Meng’s eyes and stopped in her tracks.
She needs to get this chief’s attention… in a way that doesn’t turn Meng away from her. But how?
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.
After thinking about it, she changed her target, walking towards Meng instead.
“Master,” Dofie squatted down beside Meng and softly called him.

“I can.” That’s not hard for her, she’ll take the energy of living creatures around here and give it to that priest.
“You’re not needed here.” Yuan Zhan didn’t trust her. There’s no way he’d let someone with unclear origin to treat his Priest-daren. He might take that risk if there’s a threat to Mo’s life, but Yan Mo’s body can heal on itself, there’s really no reason to send her in.
“That’s it. Leave us!” Meng waved Dofie to go away, she staying here was getting on his nerves. No matter how useful her ability was, for him, she was nothing more than his slave.
Dofie was quite tactful, she gritted her teeth but performed a greeting and retreated.
“She didn’t kneel down to you.” Yuan Zhan pointed out. He took one of the roasted goat meat, stood up and patted Meng’s shoulder. “I’ll go check out Mo, manage your own slave.”
The delicious smell of roast fish lured Yan Mo awake.
Grumble, grumble. The sound or empty stomach rang.
His eating capacity had significantly increased since he practised the beginner training method. After eating a big meal and getting enough exercises, his body now looked stronger to the naked eye. But who’d expect that he’d fall unconscious in front of everyone today.
“Awake?” Yuan Zhan had been paying attention to Yan Mo’s every movement, when he saw him waking up, Yuan Zhan heaved a sigh with complex feelings. Doing that kind of thing felt really great, but after the deed was done… He started worrying about Mo’s body. He did cover everything with a lot of oil when he rubbed against him, but afterwards, he’s afraid if his actions had really damaged Mo’s body.
“Mn.” Yan Mo felt that something’s not quite right with his body. He felt very tired. A thought flashed in his mind and his hands checked his body.
Looks like there’s nothing weird? At this time, Yan Mo didn’t guess that it might be his self-healing ability. He felt relieved as he slowly sat up.
Yuan Zhan had done something wrong and felt guilty as a thief, he quickly opened up a topic: “I asked everyone, they said they can understand everything you said that day. Your fainting might because of overusing ability. My Lord Priest, are you hiding something from me? Didn’t you say your ability is the medicine bag that can carry a lot of things, why can you also make everyone understand your words? And, did you really use your life to bless everyone?”
Yuan Zhan’s questions took Yan Mo’s attention away from his body. He had already thought of what to say regarding his communication ability. Now that he was questioned, he just replied with the prepared answer, “I’m the priest with the inheritance of the Primordial God, of course I’d have more than one ability. However, I also don’t know when some of these abilities will show up and when they will level up. I think this ability to make everyone understand me would be related to me teaching you the beginner training method.”
“Don’t use it in the future. I don’t want you to faint every day.” It’s fine every so often, fainting once every 3 to 5 days is quite good. So was a certain someone’s wishful thinking.
“I fainted this time because I wasn’t prepared, and I didn’t know about it before, next time I will control it.” Yan Mo didn’t want to faint again, either. He had this feeling that animal-Zhan had definitely done something crooked to him when he fainted, but there’s no evidence left to accuse the animal.
“What about that blessing?”
“You mean the life blessing?” Yan Mo lied without batting his eyelid. “That was another skill that I had just mastered, but the price is too big for me, I have to give my own life energy in return. So I won’t be able to use it often in the future.” Because there’s so little of that powder, and he had used all he had in hand this time.
“Don’t use it then!” Thinking that he was going to deal damage on Yan Mo’s body from time to time, Yuan Zhan no longer wanted him to injure himself for anything or anyone else.
“You entered me.” Yan Mo suddenly threw out a statement, not asking.
“I didn’t!” Yuan Zhan blurted out, as if he had been waiting for this questioning.
“You did. ”
“I didn’t!” Even if you beat him up, he’d never admit it. He didn’t want to be pricked with needles.
“Your stuff is still inside my body.”
“…” Yuan Zhan lost his voice. Flipping Primordial God, why was there still some left? He’d clearly washed it very cleanly.
Yan Mo pursed his lips together and nodded to himself. This animal had really taken advantage of him while he was unconscious! And he was just thinking this animal had improved a bit. A savage will always be a savage!
“Eat fish, it’s still hot.” Not three seconds later, Yuan Zhan passed Yan Mo the roasted fish with a face like nothing happened. Anyway, what’s done was done, worse comes to worst, he’ll get pricked back with needles.
Yan Mo silently took the proffered fish and took out a chunk in a vicious bite. Eat first, everything else can wait until after he’s full!
Yan Mo ate one third of the roast fish, about six of the total. He wiped his mouth, flicked out his needles and plunged to attack.
Yuan Zhan subconsciously wanted to fight back, but the moment he saw Yan Mo’s face that’s filled with hatred, he stopped moving, letting his Lord Priest stab needles in until he became a human hedgehog.
“If there’s a next time, I’ll make you the world’s first eunuch!” Yan Mo looked at Yuan Zhan’s little buddy and gestured cutting with his scalpel.
Yuan Zhan instantly understood what eunuch meant, he reflexively covered his key parts with earth to protect it.
“…Wear your chastity belt forever if you can!”

The night passed with no more events. After several days of disorganised mess, some order gradually formed in all the chaos. Everyone had found their place and had their own work.
Several of the men went hunting with Meng. The rest stayed to guard the tribe and make bricks.
The elderly, women, and children were responsible for picking up dry twigs and grass, tanning pelts, processing the preys, and so on.
Yan Mo demanded that everyone take turns to leave their work and learn the Jiuyuan language when the sun was the warmest at noon. It included everyone from man to woman, old, and young.
The most enthusiastic students were the old shaman and his disciple. They’d come every day and would often stick to Yan Mo asking to be taught with the children.
Yan Mo’s not in charge of teaching all the A’wu people. He gave the task to Wu Chen and the other two, and left the details on how to do it to the three children.
Twelve years old was already half an adult in A’wu clan. But these kids had not been given actual adult responsibilities like this, it’s hard not to feel excited now that Lord Priest assigned them such an important task. The three bickered a lot while organising, but as they gradually sorted out everything, they even learned a lot during this process.
Yan Mo had divided one day into three periods.
He would take Wu Chen and Yuan Zhan along to practice the beginner training at dawn and dusk.
Then Yuan Zhan would leave to dig out the moat while he went to teach the A’wu children that looked between fifteen and eighteen of age. The first class has Wu Chen, Big-eyes and Sa, who had naturally learnt more than everyone else because they’ve been with him all along. The second class is the other six children who didn’t come with the first group and the children from twelve to eighteen years old, and the third class is the rest of the children.
Teaching children is hard work, but it’s an important step to bring A’wu people to submission. The adults and the old will eventually get older and die. But when these children who get proud of being able to speak Jiuyuan language grow up, they will be a true Jiuyuan, there won’t be a trace of A’wu clan left in them.
Having been influenced and taught by him since childhood, these kids will inevitably regard him as the most important person in the tribe, will continue to spread this influence when they grow up.
The afternoon was when Yan Mo would be practising medicine. During this time he’d be examining the sick and injured members of the tribe. If he had free time, he’d be studying medicinal materials and dissecting animals. The old shaman, his disciple and the three children will come to help out, if he had some spare time in the middle, he’d teach them some of the medical knowledge.
This morning, Yan Mo was leaving the residence with two warriors. He was going to the huge lake, he had promised to meet Lamen and the other two today. Yan Mo was thinking over what he’ll say later. He wanted to get the Mer clan’s permission to look around the island in the middle of the lake, and ask them to bring him over.
But before he had stepped out of the territory, he heard someone shouting from the distance, “Priest! Lord Priest! It’s terrible! Something happened!”
I feel like the thing that happened is related to Dofie
Thank you for the chapter!
Ah good guess
It’s about time something happen
Ah savage yz deserved the needles!
Love how they are all getting stronger ^v^ thank you~~~
Every time I start feeling a little bad for Yuan Zhan about how Yao Mo treats him he goes and does something like this and reminds me not to be nice to him lol
They strike a delicate balance, I think of them as two negatives that formed a positive.
This boy Yuan Zhan HAHAHAH, didn’t slip a opportunity
