Chapter 32

As night deepened, the people of the Tribe had long finished their work on the ‘grooves’ and had all gone to rest.

In the Main Teepee, where the fire in the fire pit was burning brightly, Yu Ying was dozing off. The animal hide garment she was sewing had slipped from her legs to the ground. Her head was nodding off, and her fox ears were drooping with sleepiness.

“I finally finished drawing,” Su Bai looked at the animal hide drawing on the stone table and stretched. He had drawn out what needed to be done tomorrow in advance.

He turned his head towards the fire pit and saw the fox eared girl dozing off. He shook his head with amusement and stood up to walk towards the fire pit.

Su Bai came to Yu Ying’s side, gently took away the half-sewn animal hide garment, placed one hand on the fox eared girl’s shoulder, and the other under her bent legs.

With a little effort, he lifted Yu Ying up, walked carefully to the hay bed, and slowly bent down to lay the fox eared girl down.

“…” Su Bai turned his head to glance at Yu Ying. He noticed her long eyelashes trembling and her fox ears standing up. He knew she was already awake.

To avoid awkwardness, he did not expose her. He casually pulled over a nearby animal hide to cover Yu Ying’s belly, preventing her from catching a cold this late at night.

“It should be around eleven o’clock now, right?” Su Bai muttered to himself as he walked to his own hay bed and leisurely lay down.

*Huuu Huuu…* Yu Ying’s breathing became a bit rapid. She slightly opened her eyes to a slit, and only when she saw no one did she relax a bit.

She gently turned her head, her pink eyes fully open. She looked towards the interior of the Teepee. Only when she saw Su Bai lying on his hay bed did she completely relax.

Yu Ying thought shyly, her cheeks flushing red.

She had woken up when the Shaman put her on the hay bed. She was stunned at that time, not daring to move at all. Thus, she could only pretend to be asleep.

Yu Ying covered her face with both hands, rolling back and forth on the hay bed. The girl’s heart had been stirred, making her yearn for something, and feeling uncomfortable because that yearning had not been fulfilled.

She could not sleep at all now. Her mind was full of thoughts of the Shaman carrying her. She could not help but imagine the Shaman’s posture as he carried her. She now regretted falling asleep, wondering if the Shaman would think she was not a qualified Shaman Priestess.

The sentiments of a Tribe girl are hard to explain. Sometimes a single action, a word, or even a glance can set her imagination running wild.

Su Bai, as an Author, who was used to staying up late to write novels on Earth, could not possibly go to sleep so early. Moreover, with his heightened senses now, he could clearly hear the fox eared girl rolling around.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, smiling as he thought,

Su Bai fell asleep with an inexplicable anticipation.

Time slowly passed, and the night deepened.

“I can’t sleep…” Yu Ying lay with her pink eyes open, staring blankly at the top of the Teepee.

She touched her belly, glanced towards Su Bai’s direction, then carefully got up and tiptoed towards the Teepee’s door flap. She looked back as she walked, afraid of waking Su Bai.

Yu Ying left the Teepee, peeked around, and headed in a specific direction towards the outskirts of the camp. She arrived at the edge of the camp and quietly waited.

“Why are you still up so late?” Yan Hua’s clear voice sounded. A figure emerged from the bushes and came in front of the fox eared girl.

Tonight was her duty to patrol. She was mainly responsible for the interior of the Tribe camp. She was specifically watching from around the major Teepees, to prevent enemies from sneaking in. Naturally, to also prevent some lustful men from losing their minds in the middle of the night and sneaking into women’s Teepees to do shameful things.

The patrol was divided into inner and outer circles. The outer circle was usually the responsibility of the Totem Warriors. The inner circle was the responsibility of female Totem Warriors. Due to personnel shortages, the cow horned girl, a Warrior Trainee, had joined the Patrol Team.

“I, I woke up needing to relieve myself,” Yu Ying stammered with a red face.

“Go ahead, I’ll keep watch for you,” Yan Hua rolled her eyes, knowing the fox eared girl was lying. She normally would not stammer when facing her at night for something like this.

“En…” Yu Ying went behind a tree and slowly squatted down.

“How does it feel, your first day as a Shaman Priestess?” Yan Hua leaned against the tree, looking up at the star-filled night sky.

*Shhhhhhiiii…*

“Today was very fulfilling,” Yu Ying said in a soft voice.

“Did the Shaman scold you?” Yan Hua crossed her arms, thinking of her Father’s angry look not long ago, feeling inexplicably upset.

Yu Ying pouted, dissatisfied, “The Shaman never scolded me. He’s very kind to me.”

“Is that so?” Yan Hua said while softly biting her lips. She did not know why she felt a bit irritated.

“Yes.” Yu Ying stood up, tidied herself, and came out from behind the tree.

Her mouth curved in a shy smile. “The Shaman gave me four pieces of roasted meat today.”

“That’s only enough to make you half full,” Yan Hua said irritably.

“I’m already more than satisfied,” Yu Ying said softly, stepping in front of the cow horned girl.

“Go back to sleep,” Yan Hua waved her hand impatiently.

“I’m leaving then, be careful on your patrol,” Yu Ying smiled and turned, walking briskly back towards the Main Teepee.

“Really, you’re too easily satisfied,” Yan Hua sighed, watching the fox eared girl’s back, “I really envy that kind of personality.”

She turned and entered the bushes, walking between the trees, occasionally climbing a tree, her eyes scanning the entire Tribe to see if any girls had come out to relieve themselves.
