    Translator: Silavin

     

    After Ah Liv returned to the Tribe, she went straight to her Grandfather’s wooden hut without saying a word.

     

    The expression on her face clearly showed she still felt somewhat unsatisfied, having reluctantly left the Flame Dragon Tribe two days prior.

     

    When leaving, she had looked back with every step, wanting to stay there longer. If not for fear that the people of her Tribe would worry, she truly wished to remain there until the end of the snow season.

     

    “Shaman, the Flame Dragon Tribe is really an amazing Tribe.” Ah Liv said without hesitation.

     

    With everything she had experienced during those days she had stayed at the Flame Dragon Tribe, it was truly nothing short of amazing.

     

    “How is it that after going there for a few days, you’ve almost become their people?” Shaman Lu Zheng frowned.

     

    He wondered how his Granddaughter had been brainwashed by the other party to come back and say such things.

     

    Although his Granddaughter was rather playful, she would certainly never be as fanatic as she was now.

     

    “Everything I’m saying is true. I lived there for many days, and these are all things I saw with my own eyes, Ah Liv said with a very serious expression.

     

    Because she knew her Grandfather certainly would not believe her, otherwise he absolutely would not say such things.

     

    Though she also knew that what she was saying sounded exaggerated and seemed rather unbelievable, it was all absolutely true, without a single false word mixed in.

     

    “Then tell me, what exactly is good about their Tribe? Apart from their ceramics.” Shaman Lu Zheng asked.

     

    In his view, the Flame Dragon Tribe probably only had ceramics as its most attractive feature, with likely nothing else of note.

     

    “Can you believe that during the snow season one could eat green plants?” Ah Liv directly posed a question to him.

     

    This was one of the most shocking points for her at the Flame Dragon Tribe. When she saw green vegetables on the dining table, she was completely stunned.

     

    When the snow season arrived, every spot was covered in white snow. How could one possibly see green plants?

     

    Moreover, these green plants were actually served at the dining table, which was the most incomprehensible thing.

     

    Most remarkably, these green plants tasted amazing, with a texture that was no worse than meat.

     

    “Green plants? We can normally eat them, but during the snow season, none should be available. You’re surely aware of this.” Shaman Lu Zheng did not understand what his Granddaughter meant by asking this question.

     

    “But at the Flame Dragon Tribe, I can eat these green plants during the snow season.” Ah Liv’s expression began to grow serious.

     

    She now almost dared not recall the scenes from that day, particularly those green vegetables on the dining table. After eating them, she felt completely satisfied and happy.

     

    “What!? You’re saying the Flame Dragon Tribe has these green plants during this weather? How is that possible? During the snow season, it’s impossible to have them.” Shaman Lu Zheng remained quite certain.

     

    However, his heart had already begun to waver somewhat, which could be seen to some extent from his facial expression.

     

    Did he not understand his own Granddaughter? Being playful was one thing, but she would absolutely never lie about such matters.

     

    Her very firm expression further proved that she was not lying.

     

    “This is true. Their Tribe really has them, and I personally ate them. It can’t possibly be false.” Ah Liv said with certainty.

     

    She only remembered being very shocked when she saw them at the time, feeling completely overwhelmed.

     

    Initially, she had thought these were just meat that looked like green plants, but after eating them, she discovered they were completely different from meat.

     

    After enquiring, she learned that these were genuine green plants, and they even had a peculiar name—they were called vegetables.

     

    She still remembered one thing: at that time, she had completely abandoned the thought of maintaining her image and quickly finished that entire plate of vegetables.

     

    “How could the Flame Dragon Tribe possibly have green plants? How exactly did they manage to do this? Did they say where they obtained them from?” Lu Zheng asked.

     

    One must understand what a blissful thing it would be to eat green plants during the snow season, when eating only meat every day had become tiresome.

     

    So, he very much wanted to know how those green plants came about, so that he could also improve the meals for their Green Vine Tribe.

     

    “I asked, but they said this was something they couldn’t tell us, and they also said these were their Tribe’s specialty product, that only their Tribe had them.” Ah Liv said with regret.

     

    When she had eaten these plants at the time, she had certainly asked about them, but the answer she received was negative.

     

    “What if we traded things with them? Could we then exchange it for the green plants?” Shaman Lu Zheng was already becoming somewhat agitated.

     

    One must understand that during the snow season, when there was only one type of food available, how desperately one would crave the appearance of another type of food.

     

    “I asked about this too, but they still refused, saying that perhaps next year’s snow season, they might be able to trade with us but not this one,” Ah Liv waved her hand dismissively.

     

    When she had learned at the time that there was absolutely no way to trade for them, she had eaten those green vegetables even more enthusiastically, since if she could not trade for them, she should at least eat more of them.

     

    “What a pity. If only we could trade for some to bring back…” Shaman Lu Zheng said regretfully.

     

    He now completely believed his Granddaughter’s words. Just this matter of the green plants alone showed that the Flame Dragon Tribe was extraordinary. After all, to possess green plants during the time of endless ice and snow put this Tribe several streets ahead of other Tribes.

     

    “Not only that, but there’s no accumulated snow within the Flame Dragon Tribe. Everywhere is accessible, and they even have something called carriages.” Ah Liv recalled the scenes from her time staying there.

     

    That feeling was simply too comfortable. If she could live permanently at the Flame Dragon Tribe, she would certainly be willing.

     

    “Carriage? What is that?” Shaman Lu Zheng asked in confusion.

     

    “It’s something that can pull us along as we travel. We sit on it without needing to walk, yet we can still move forward, and the speed is also quite fast.” Ah Liv began explaining with animated gestures.

     

    When speaking of matters concerning the Flame Dragon Tribe, the girl’s words flowed endlessly, as if that Tribe were her own.

     

    “There’s actually such a good thing? Would they be willing to trade for it?” Shaman Lu Zheng’s first thought was to trade for this item.

     

    “I also asked about this, but they straightforwardly refused.” Ah Liv still shook her head.

     

    Whenever she saw anything good, her first thought was also whether she could trade for them to bring back to her Tribe.

     

    “It seems I must find some time to go and have a look.” Shaman Lu Zheng was becoming somewhat tempted by what he had heard.

     

    “Grandfather must go and stay in their cement houses. Those houses are incomparable to wooden huts.” Ah Liv immediately said upon hearing this.

     

    “Cement house?” Shaman Lu Zheng asked in confusion.

     

    “It’s…” Ah Liv began chattering endlessly again.
