All these works made Yan Mo feel like he’s going crazy.
Ye Xing and Sa Yu found out that Wu Chen also trained with Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan at morning and evening. The rolled on the ground, making a scene, and begged him with tears that they also want to learn the training method.
Yan Mo thought that they’re very unsteady at heart, and didn’t plan to teach them for now.
But these two might have grilled Wu Chen for the answer, and somehow learned that Wu Chen was already a disciple of Yan Mo. They are students, and disciples are entirely different from just students. When the two wild kid found out, they lost their mind, they stopped crying and making a scene, and just kneeled in front of his tent on a snowy day.
Yan Mo almost exploded with anger!
He happened to come out early and found them, if he was any later, these brats’ legs might not be saved!
Yan Mo could do nothing but treat their wounds and help them get back to health on top of that. He even had to call Dofie over to help heal the little ones so that he didn’t miss anything that could be dangerous later.
“Wu Chen had passed my test, that’s how he became my disciple. You, too, must also go through a test to become my disciples.” Yan Mo was just giving himself more time.
He was truly too busy at the moment. Yan Mo didn’t know if the mer clan’s girl Norma was naturally gifted to be great at textile making, or she was just extremely intelligent. The A’wu people hadn’t finished their loom, and Norma had made a spinning wheel first.
Norma’s a very upright mermaid, she easily gave Yan Mo that spinning wheel because of the feather she received, even telling him how to make the spinning wheel and how to use it. Teaching him everything step by step and in detail.
The merpeople’s spinning wheel seemed to have been made out of some sort of bones. Yan Mo had asked Norma how the bones were made into tools, but Norma didn’t explain it in detail. She only said that it’s a secret of her people, only the shaman or the chief can talk about it, no one else in the clan can say it.
Hearing her answer, Yan Mo didn’t press on. The spinning wheel’s structure was very simple, it’s easier to use wood to make it.
To pay back the kind miss and encourage her to produce a loom for them, Yan Mo gave her a big bag of fine salt, and shared half of the treasured roasted hazelnuts he had been reluctant to finish. Other than those, he also made a feast of fish for her alone.
Norma was over the moon and kept promising she’ll tell him if she managed to make that “loom” that he talked about.
The spinning wheel makes a large production of hemp thread possible. During this period of time, Yan Mo was busy with getting people to fell trees, roast lumber and use the wood to make a spinning wheel following the bone version, then teaching others how to use the spinning wheel.
Meanwhile, Yuan Zhan would always yell that “this hurt” or “that hurt”. Yan Mo didn’t know if Yuan Zhan had been using too much of his powers lately or it’s because his body’s old problems resurfaced because he’s been exposed to too much of the cold. On top of that, his body often had numerous injuries from fighting with the merpeople. It took a lot of his time to condition Yuan Zhan’s body back to health. He was running out of medicinal materials at hand, and had to squeeze out some time to search for something else that can replace herbs, like medicinal stones or such.
There were also those children he taught. Young kids would always quarrel, fight and make trouble. Every time it became a big problem, they’d, of course, come looking for him to tell on their friends or ask him to mediate.
See, there’s so much he had to do. He’s so busy he didn’t even have time to go look around the island in the lake. How could he have time to teach his own disciples? Most of the time, Wu Chen would just be acting as his assistant.
But Ye Xing and Sa Yu were determined to become Yan Mo’s disciples. When they heard Yan Mo say there would be a test, they nodded with all they have and said they will definitely complete the test.

“Make less noise, you stamp your feet here, but it can make all the animals within five Li run off.” Yuan Zhan was hidden under a snowy plain, not moving in the slightest.
Meng crouched down. “Those roe deer are getting smarter and smarter, why are we here and not going to the mountain to catch the wild goats? I remember there’s a lot of them.”
“Mo said we can’t just lock onto one kind of beast. The last hunt was too overboard, if we hunt them again, the wild goats might migrate out of here.”
“You’ve learned a lot of the Primordial God’s language from Mo,” Meng murmured. “Why can’t Primordial God make winter disappear?”
“This is the God’s test for us.” Yuan Zhan made a gesture for Meng to be quiet.
Meng instantly dropped to the ground.
A strong and graceful roe deer poked its head from the trees, probably listening to any danger that could be out there.
After some time, the roe deer dashed out of the woods. Just after a few steps, it seemed to have found something delicious and dipped its head to lick the thing on the ground. After licking once, it raised its head again, as if it was specifically looking for something.
Some other deer shifted through the trees and came out one after another, until a small herd of a dozen or so deer have gathered in the plains.
Like their leader who’d gone before them, these roe deer came out specifically for a certain thing.
The roe deer gradually gathered towards an open space, where the snow seemed different from everywhere else, it was a bit red there.
If you look carefully, you would see that there’s a curving route, dotted with red snow. However the red on the route was not much now, the deer have licked them up.
All of a sudden the space with red snow fell and the dozen of roe deer fell into the pit.
At this time, a large area of white snow about 30 meters from the place where they fell to the ground was lifted one after another. More than 20 warriors in animal pelts jumped up from the pits.
Meng was the first to charge up.
No one issued a yell. It was too close to the woods, they didn’t want to disturb the ferocious animals hidden in the woods.
The warriors’ excitements would only be seen from their quickened breaths, they raised their spears high and stabbed down on the deer inside the trap.
“Don’t kill them all, carry some back alive to let blood.” Yuan Zhan circled around the warriors and jumped directly into the square-shaped pit.
The roe deer were making shrill cries and pushing and squeezing each other in the pit, jumping around, trying to get out.
Yuan Zhan grabbed one of the roe bucks and slashed its neck. Before the hot blood could splatter everywhere, he had leaned in and bit down on the wound, gulping down the large amount of fresh deer blood.
When all the roe deer in the pit were either dead or had been knocked unconscious, Yuan Zhan moved his hand a bit and returned the pit into a normal flat ground. All the roe deer that were at the bottom of the pit were also brought up to the flat land.
They hunted so many preys all at once, the warriors couldn’t help making a low shouts of cheer. It was so much easier to hunt with the chief around, they’d gain a lot and there wouldn’t be many wounded, let alone deaths. Up to this day, there had been no deaths in their hunting teams.
The warriors have unending admiration for Yuan Zhan and feel that this is God’s love for them. Otherwise, how could they be so lucky to be under the protection of the God’s warrior and the Primordial God’s priest?
Yuan Zhan wiped off the roe deer blood from the corners of his mouth and waved to the warriors.
Meng rushed forward with the warriors to drag the roe deer away. They let out the blood of roe deer that were killed, and drank it on the spot.
Yuan Zhan was keeping guard nearby. Wounds freeze quickly in winter, but you should always be careful of the woods and beasts with sensitive noses nearby. They could smell the blood and move close to here.
The warriors moved quickly. After drinking blood to replenish their physical strength and heat, they dragged the dead roe deer onto the big board they brought. The deer that were still alive, were tied on their four hooves. This hunt was a bumper harvest!
On the way back with the prey, Meng approached Yuan Zhan with blood staining his lips and chin, but didn’t speak.
Yuan Zhan briefly glanced at him. “Do you have something you want to say to me?”
Meng rubbed his hands and seemed to be hesitating about how to put it to words. But he clenched his teeth and said it in the end: “Mo agreed that Dofie didn’t need to be my slave, but she had to provide for herself.”
“You want her to keep being your slave?”
“Not that. If not my slave, she can be my woman.” Meng said frankly, “I just think, isn’t Mo a bit… harsh on Dofie? I didn’t know anything before, but later I found out that Dofie had to provide for herself and also work.”
“Everyone has to work in the tribe.” Yuan Zhan said with no expression.
“I know. What I’m getting at is, it’s very tiring for Dofie to treat people, every time she treated others, she needed to recover for some time, but Yan Mo wouldn’t let everyone give her food. If not for me, she might have already starved to death.”
Meng poured everything out all at once. “I know that all priests don’t like other priests from other tribes, but Dofie is kind-hearted. She just wants to help everyone, just like Mo at the beginning. Her healing ability is also very useful to us. Can you talk to Yan Mo, tell him to not be so hostile to Dofie?
“Hostile?” A corner Yuan Zhan lips rose up. “Er Meng. If Dofie isn’t at Jiuyuan now but at Yuanji, and the old priest Qiu Shi finds out about her healing ability, what do you think will happen to her?”
Meng’s expression suddenly changed. The old priest would, with no doubt, tie Dofie up and cut her flesh out, and make her blood, flesh and bones into medicine.
“Even if all of us protect her, like how we hid the truth about Yan Mo at that time, she’d still need to honestly be our slave like Mo did at that time, wouldn’t she?”
“… Yes.” Meng wiped at his face.
“Not just treating our injuries and illnesses, she would have to do all the hard works that slaves have to do, while also being careful about not letting others find out about her ability, am I right?”
“Yes.” Meng gulped.
“All the things on her, no matter her clothes or those crystal stones, she won’t be able to keep any of them. Right?”
“Yes.” Meng started to feel the pressure.
“What about her, now? Do you know that when she first showed her healing ability I wanted to kill her? But Mo, who you said was hostile to your woman, said not to kill her.”
Meng eyes darted left and right, just didn’t dare to look at Yuan Zhan’s face.
But Yuan Zhan didn’t let him off. He sneered, “You should also know what it meant when that woman showed her healing ability to the A’wu people, if your brain wasn’t out there kissing that woman's ass. If not because of Mo, if there’s no mountain god Jiu Feng, those simple-minded A’wu people would have already regarded that woman as the God’s messenger!”
“Don’t tell me you don’t understand what that woman’s actions meant.” Yuan Zhan suddenly raised his voice. “She’s challenging us! Challenging me, Mo and you! She had completely forgotten who had saved her life. She probably thought that it’s just normal for others to save her because she can heal. She didn’t think that if it weren’t for me, she’d already freeze to death in the wilderness!”
Meng’s face flushed in the cold weather.
“Mo also didn’t want to be a slave. I’ve also pushed him down. He hates me, and with his strength now he could’ve killed me already. But he didn’t. Why? Because he felt like he owed me for saving his life! Mo’s like that, what about that woman? I’d bet my ability on this, that woman would kill you and me the second she rose to power!” Yuan Zhan sneered.
haahahhahaahah Yuan Zhan really thinks Yan Mo felt like he owed him bahahhhhahahahaha
little does he know, he’s just useful to Yan Mo (｀∀´)Ψ
Thank you for the chapter!
That’s what I thought too! I felt a little bad for this guy, just a little
It is just a pain for Momo to start all over again cultivating top tier leader with management abilities 😂. He didn’t know how many times Momo initially wanted to kill him but afraid of the guide’s punishment in Yuanji lol.
Thanks for the chapter!!
Thanks for reading 💗
Poor Simp ming 😂
Yes 🙁 they’re kinda cute! They’re like naive-er version of Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan
Preach! Thanks for the chapter!
Reality check
Zhan is really smart. And Meng, is being Meng.
Tho it’s true if someone discovered that someone can heal people, it’s indeed natural for them to keep them alive because they’re useful. It’s not like anyone knows it’s kind of a fraud, but even then it is effective as there’s a result even if there’s a limit
