Chapter 514: The Heartbroken Shaman

The celebration had ended, and Han Cheng, having had a few drinks, was in exceptionally high spirits.

The victorious return of the Eldest Senior Brother and the others signified the complete end of the war initiated by the Flying Snake tribe.

In this grand war, unprecedented for the Green Sparrow tribe, they had achieved a decisive victory over the evil Flying Snake tribe at minimal cost.

Not only had they eliminated the external threat faced by the tribe, but they had also facilitated its explosive development.

The fact that they had captured 158 prisoners in two encounters was enough to fill him with joy.

It could have been more, but during the journey back with the prisoners, a few seriously injured ones had died, including some infants.

Even so, the remaining 158 prisoners filled Han Cheng with delight.

He recalled that when he first arrived at the tribe, its population was only a few dozen.

Even now, after assimilating the Pig tribe, Bone tribe, Green Grass tribe, and Donkey tribe, the total population was barely over two hundred.

Moreover, among these 158 prisoners, the majority were adults—103!

These would be excellent laborers.

After such a great battle, for the tribe to experience such significant development, it would be strange if he weren't happy.

With the Flying Snake tribe thoroughly eradicated, the weight in his heart was lifted completely. As he contemplated these matters, his excitement grew, and he finally couldn't help but light the oil lamp.

He found a tattered, revealing garment for Bai Xue to change into, passionately venting his exhilaration.

Victory for a man can sometimes be more effective than certain drugs.

In an instant, the already warm, orange-lit room was filled with a dense spring atmosphere.

Meanwhile, Shaman, who was in a separate room, couldn't sleep.

Of course, the faint noises from Han Cheng's room didn't disturb him.

As an elder who had weathered many storms and spent most of his life in communal living within caves, this noise was nothing to him.

The reason he couldn't sleep was that he was too excited.

Lying in bed, he kept calculating the number of slaves, considering how much land they could cultivate and how much food they could produce for the tribe...

The more he thought, the more excited he became. The more he calculated, the better his spirits. In the dark room, occasional chuckles escaped him, unable to be contained.

Anyone coming to this place would indeed be startled.

After a while, Shaman perked up his ears to listen to the sounds from the Divine Child's room, and suddenly, a thought struck him.

He realized that having only one mate for the most distinguished person in the tribe—the Divine Child—was lacking, especially since Bai Xue was too small and unattractive, unworthy of the great Son.

It was time to find the Divine Child a few beautiful mates, at least of a similar stature...

As an elder of the tribe, Shaman had been deeply concerned for its well-being.

After making this decision, he reveled in thoughts of a bright future for the tribe, eventually succumbing to sleep. He woke several times in dreams, laughing.

Sweating all over, Han Cheng moved Bai Xue, who was clinging to him like an octopus, to the side, a mischievous smile on his tired face.

This was the advantage of being small; if it had been the brawny women of the tribe, he would surely have been crushed by such a display.

Lost in thought about this, he was unaware of Shaman's intentions. If he had known, he wondered if he could still feel as relaxed as he did now...

The following day, after inspecting the slaves, Shaman approached the Eldest Senior Brother to discuss his thoughts. The Eldest Senior Brother slapped his forehead, lamenting how he could have forgotten such an important matter!

The two quickly agreed and chose three exceptionally beautiful female primitives from the tribe to send to the esteemed Divine Child.

Upon realizing their intentions, Han Cheng looked at the three women, who were even stronger than he was and couldn't help but shiver.

"Better not have such beauties; my body can’t handle it."

For the sake of his own life, Han Cheng quickly shook his head, firmly refusing, stating that having Bai Xue was enough for him.

Besides these three women being too intimidating, there was another significant reason: Han Cheng knew all three of them.

One was Zhuang, another was Ru Hua, and the last was the former leader of the Donkey tribe, now a trade partner!

Looking at the seemingly reasonable expressions of Shaman, the Eldest Senior Brother, Zhuang, and Ru Hua, Han Cheng couldn't help but gasp a few times.

"Could you not be so intimidating?"

"I’m not some legendary figure who can handle all the world’s troubles; how can I possibly deal with this?"

Under Han Cheng's insistence, Shaman, the Eldest Senior Brother, and the others could only leave with regret.

They found the Divine Child's behavior very puzzling.

How could the Divine Child dismiss such beautiful women while having a particular fondness for the unattractive Bai Xue? It was truly baffling.

After contemplating this for a while, they ultimately attributed it to the Divine Child's eccentric personality...

This incident was merely a small episode in their everyday lives; life in the Green Sparrow tribe continued to progress in an orderly manner.

With Tu Mao tirelessly promoting things and the first batch of slaves like Chang Tui having already accepted the Green Sparrow tribe, the second batch of slaves adapted even more smoothly and quickly than the first.

They soon became accustomed to living in this tribe in an entirely new way.

In contrast to the other slaves' tranquility, the crooked-nosed Cao Geng had felt a bit jumpy these past few days.

Because in this tribe, he saw not only a group of deer but also a larger number of wolves.

While feeling jumpy, he also realized that no wonder those wolves didn't attack the deer; it turned out they were all raised by this tribe!

Humans could raise so much prey?

This completely reshaped Cao Geng's understanding.

At the same time, he felt regretful; had he known that such a ridiculously powerful tribe raised these deer, he would never have considered targeting them.

He just hoped these fierce creatures wouldn’t come looking for trouble with him.

However, this seemed unlikely because Fu Jiang had passed by him and suddenly stopped.

After sniffing around Cao Geng a few times, he suddenly began to howl.

Then, he lunged at the terrified Cao Geng, with the remaining dogs all rushing forward as well.

Cao Geng barely ran a couple of steps before being knocked to the ground by Fu Jiang and the others. He flailed his arms wildly, shouting incoherently, filled with fear and despair.

The sudden events shocked everyone; no one expected that the Fu Jiang, who usually didn't bite the tribe members, would suddenly turn on someone at this moment...
