Join us!

The arrival of the dwarves made Jiuyuan people’s vigilance rise, but it didn’t stop the construction and progress within the tribe. On the contrary, Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan sped up the progress to minimise any future threat.

Right now, Meng and Mu Changming led Da Ze and other warriors to guard and hunt. 8ZmEXG

While Yuan Zhan led Huhu and the rest to go building. The two groups rotate shift every day in order to make sure each group has similar fighting ability and so that no one will be dissatisfied.

Yan Mo was in charge of all the internal affairs, with Wu Cheng, Wu Qing, Sa Yun, Ye He and his three students assisting him.

There are always two guards around Yan Mo because he need to be carried around on a chair when he moves. It’s too troublesome to move around like that, so he got a table set up in front of his tent. The guards carry him out of the tent, he handles all the tribe affairs as well as teaching on that table, then he is carried back in at night.

Before his legs got disabled, the initial survey for the tribe’s population had been done. During that time, Yan Mo had to determine everyone’s actual age by examining the pulse, bone, skin and hair to ensure everyone will follow the tribe rules. UavzVR

He can’t guarantee the age he got through his examination was one hundred percent accurate, but it was more accurate than judging from appearance.

For example, some appear to be young adults who is more than twenty years old but when he examined them they were actually around 15-16 years old. Some kids looked smaller because they were malnourished but they were actually already teenagers.

According to he survey, there are 64 people in the tribe plus one person who is not a tribe member, 52 men and 12 women.

There are 39 men older than 16 years old, but only 8 women.

Ykzdq4

Under 16 years old there are 10 boys, but only 4 girls.

Yan Mo was rather worried with this large disparity between male and female.

But something more complicated is waiting for him in the next part of the census.

Since the tribe now had “family system”, they have to do the statistics and house building with the family in mind, their structure and size. But it’s proving to be difficult to clearly arrange the families. The reason being the scarcity of female, making many of the women partner with two to three men, the biggest number is this one woman who had six partner consecutively. Sometimes even they themselves can’t tell who the father of their kid is. cSAlXV

The A’wu clan’s kids usually follows their mothers, and Yan Mo didn’t intend to change this.

But he was considering the matter of the child-rearing. After the concept of family and private property become common, these kids will have questionable parentage. This will lead to big problems like whether the last man of their mothers will agree to foster them, or whether these men will treat their foster and biological kids differently.

Yan Mo can only take slow steps towards solving this problem.

First, he singled out the families with clear blood relations. For example the little kid A’wu they first met. His family is one of the few that has clear parentage, his mother had only been with his father. But this is only the case with two families in the tribe. JDNGb3

Second, he identified the families without female, like single parent families. The single parent is due to the death of the mother or because the mother didn’t want to live with the father. There were eleven such families in the tribe.

Third, he clarified who was single. This was very easy to do, they are people without wife, no family to provide for or no one to provide for them.

After these three steps, it’s time for the real meat of the action.

This was what kept Yan Mo busy these past two day. IFzya0

Yan Mo disliked this sort of trouble the most, but he can’t just wash his hands off of it. No one in the tribe can make decisions on this, not even Yuan Zhan. And Wu Cheng and the others still had the mentality of marrying close relatives to each other…

“Sa Yun, you have two kids, do you know who each kids’ father was?” Yan Mo asked from behind the table.

Sa Yun was Sa Yu’s mother, in charge of the flax spinning in the tribe. IEAtNl

Sa Yun nodded and pointed to Da Ze who sneaked away to join the fun. “Pang Ze, and Pang Zhao.”

Pang Zhao was in the other group in charge for hunting today so he didn’t come.

Da Ze saw Yan Mo’s looking at him and immediately saluted him, slamming his right fist to his left chest.

Yan Mo gave him a smile and asked Sa Yun again, “And who do you want to be with?” jyWI5r

Sa Yun hesitated.

Yan Mo encouraged her, “Tell me, it’s okay. You can be with whoever you want to be with.”

Sa Yun rubbed the head of the little toddler sitting near her legs and then stroked Sa Yu who was pressed to her side. She bravely said, “Lord, I want to be with them both. They both promised me that they will both raise the kids if there’s any, no matter whose kid it is.”

Yan Mo had the urge to press his forehead. The nine rules had clearly stated that it will be one husband and one wife. But sister Sa Yun smashed down his big expectations for her from the get go. DfWjeY

The naughty Sa Yu also shouted, “Lord, I don’t want to be separated from my brother.”

Yan Mo ground his teeth together. Just two days ago this little boy yelled that he wanted to smash the head of his annoying little brother, but today he suddenly didn’t want to separate. This is what they meant when they say a kid’s heart changes like the weather in June!

Da Ze also went to the mother and kids’s side, and earnestly asked, “Lord, Pang Zhao didn’t come today but we have already talked about it, we both want to live together with Sa Yun and the kids, can we?”

“Lord, I chose two husbands, am I getting punished?” Sa Yun was filled with anxiety. ebCRQr

Sa Yu’s eyes went wide, he immediately turned his eyes to Yan Mo. He didn’t want the Priest to punish his mother. The Priest had taught them a lot during this period, letting them know how extraordinary their mothers are, and the hardships their mothers experience.

Yan Mo originally planned to quietly influence people through the lessons to raise the status of women in their society. Now he seemed to be getting good result even if accidental.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

But the way they spoke and their eyes looking at him… Yan Mo felt like he’s this evil person separating families from each other.

The publication of the nine rules and three commands were intended to better the lives of everyone in the tribe, it’s totally unreasonable to break up an originally happy family just to follow the rules. Yan Mo naturally didn’t want to do that. Ut8hqW

Especially since it’s just the beginning period of the tribe building, it’s not realistic to want everyone to follow the rules to a T.

Yan Mo looked at the old shaman.

Wu Cheng was standing to the front right of the table, and seeing Yan Mo asking him with his eyes, he hit his own chest and said, “Lord, I’ll leave it to you.”

Yan Mo wasn’t trying to consult Wu Cheng, he was just displaying a gesture. eCWB3h

After receiving his answer, Yan Mo turned his head to Da Ze and family of three, “The five of you had made a family before the rules came to be. It is not counted as breaking the rules even if you live together. In the future, you will be one family.”

Sa Yun and her family heaved a sigh of relief.

“The tribe’s rules is a guideline. If you have a special circumstance, report it to the judging body. The judging body won’t force everything to go by the rules, the judges will consider if it was truly an extenuating circumstance.”

A’wu people didn’t understand many of the words Yan Mo used, but they understood what Yan Mo wanted to say in their mind. P4o8JG

They were delighted. The other men and women with the same circumstances felt hope for themselves after seeing Sa Yun’s success.

After this, Yan Mo handled three other families with same circumstances, one woman with several kids was willing to be together with several men, and the men were also willing.

Finally only two women were left. One was the youngest mother in the group, the girl who was just around thirteen of age, and the other was the oldest women in the tribe, that woman who had had relations with six men one after another.

Yan Mo felt pity for the young mother. The other party looked about fifteen to sixteen years old and she was hugging a baby that wasn’t even half-a-year old yet. This baby was even born during their journey to the tribe, Meng took special care of them and the mother and the baby was very lucky that they could hold on until they reached their destinations with the harsh winter.

“What are your plans?” Yan Mo gently asked the young girl.

The young girl hugged her daughter and looked at the taller man who looked about thirty beside her. She stepped away from the man and walked over to another person, a younger man, “I want to be with Mu Lin.”

The expression on the older man changed.

The younger man stepped forward and shielded the young girl and her daughter. “Lord, Xiao Shu doesn’t want to be a family with my father, I also don’t want to.” DpaFMQ

Yan Mo then discovered that the young man was one of his students. His actual age should be around sixteen years old.

“That’s my daughter!” The adult man shouted out of the blue.

“Lord!” Mu Lin and Xiao Shu kneeled down. “We can’t leave little Xiao Shu to my father. Xiao Shu is also my father’s daughter. He’ll raise little Xiao Shu and and make her bear his kid too.”

Yan Mo exhaled a breath. Alright. It’s the primitive age, he’ll surely encounter this type of thing again in the future. He had only found one case right now because the A’wu clan was small, if it was a bigger clan, he might get more cases like this. Q5exs1

“But you’re also her big brother, aren’t you?”

“Yes.” Mu Lin gritted his teeth. “Lord, I know, you have taught us that … relations between slow relatives aren’t good. I won’t do that with Xiao Shu, I will take care of her and little Xiao Shu. When they get older they can choose who they want to be with.”

“Okay!” Yan Mo agreed at once. “In the future Xiao Shu and little Xiao Shu will be living with you. You don’t need to worry. You and Xiao Shu are still young, the tribe will take care of you.”

Mu Lin and Xiao Shu were overjoyed, and repeatedly said thanks to Yan Mo. r730j5

Yan Mo looked at the angry man who didn’t accept this result, and said with a hint of admonishment in his voice: “As their father, are you willing to take care of them before the kids turn sixteen? Will you give them some food, water and other things?”

The adult man had an ugly face. “Why should I? I can’t sleep with her, why would I raise them?”

Okay, good. It’s definitely not just him who’s thinking this.

“Fine if you don’t want to bring them up, but according to the tribe rules you have to make a one time compensation to them. As for how to compensate, I will send someone to tell you later.” Yan Mo’s face became harsher. kPDdrZ

The adult man became afraid when he saw the change in Yan Mo’s expression. That’s Lord Priest! He actually made the Lord Priest angry! The man’s head drooped down. He looked at the ground with terrified eyes, not daring to say anything else.

“Also. No matter who it is, after a family had been established, no one is allowed to disturb that family. People within one family must not be intimate with other people who is not their partner, or they will be punished with the tribe rules! Is that clear?”

“Yes! Clear!” The people watching the fun shouted loudly after one moment of silence.

“Let alone matters like forcing someone against their will, that is strictly not allowed! If that happens the violators will be severely punished!” 4FfTVY

“Yes!”

Yan Mo then turned his eyes to the last woman. However, as he looked at her, his eyebrows knitted together.

18/04/2022: Hey guys so sorry these few weeks there’s just a lot a lot of assessments lined up for me one after another that I really have no time to finish the chapters >< WDMkur

Disclaimer

I changed some of the names… Sorry. Some sounds more western now, which I think was the intent in the first place? like the people from those cities and merfolks. Some I added r and t that wasn’t there in the raw (Feili – Felitt, Dede Gege – Derde Gerge, Laruo – Laror) Some names are distinct enough in cn but looks rly similar to each other in romanisation. I want to change some of the similar name but then I think they don’t appear much anyway (Wu Chen-Wu Cheng, Ye He-Yehe).

I feel bad doing this because this is fan tl, but it just flows better and I can also convey some of subconscious meaning behind their names. Which I think Felitt’s is “fly” and “strong” or “fillet”. Also, because it’s long, the author usually has a go-to naming system which has a lot of La and Ma.

Tell me if you have better idea on how to localise the name! I didn’t notice that Yalun-landis was a pun for Atlantis in throne-strategy for example. I could be missing a reference.

  1. Thanks for the chapter

    The man that have relationship with his own daughter

    That’s truly disgusting

    and he think that it was right thing

    😰

    And why not make women head of family that will be more exciting

    I can imagine when you were born in this kind of society that accept women to have multiple men then you change it to single man it will be really hard for both parties

  2. I’m worried with how Yan Mo’s punishment will end, 95 times is a lot! 😰 Hopefully there’s another way for him to end it

    ty for the translation! ❤️

  3. Wow 6 men, one woman😐 I wonder what age did that woman have 6 partner cause if she have that many partner since she’s 13 then she’s really pitiful. They are not on the right age yet they are forced to give birth, maybe that is why there are small female than men. Thanks for the chapter😊 I will read in wattpad for a while, there is somewhat Mtled translation there. Thanks for the chapter. School works are really terrifying, they pile up like mountains. I hope you’ll be back soon🤗 You can do it, fighting✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻

  4. ngl it’s a bit annoying yan mo is trying to force the 2 partner system. he has a chance to build society up from scratch and he’s using dumb modern standards?? tho cant rlly judge how he’s doing overall cuz i dont remember much abt this story. im prolly gonna have to go back and re-read cuz i dotn remember anything abt these mermaid..

    • He is trying to build up future generation. Like when he said in Yuanji, nearly 2000 people but the kids, elderly and women can be counted by hands and feet, dominated with young adult and middle age men. Tbh, that really isn’t good for development of a tribe. Him suggesting a clear cut family also to save him trouble later. He wanted to promote more children while also having each family taking care of the children till they grow up. No long being food reserve, sacrifice, forced warrior or bride. There will be men that find this burdensome like the father of Xiao Shu, the no-benefit for him. By having closer clear cut relationship, deeper bloodkin feeling can be developed. All is to lead to there. Of course he will find problem sooner with sooo scarce amount of women.
