Chapter 532, I Do Not Agree

Ah Liv’s attention was immediately drawn to those preserved meat, her green eyes widening considerably.

 

This was the first time she had smelt such a scent, and this aroma was truly wonderful. It made her fall deeply in love with it, already imagining how delicious it would be.

 

“It’s rather unfortunate, since I cannot finish eating it all. Sure, let’s throw it away.” Su Bai said deliberately.

 

Ah Liv swallowed her saliva, forcibly restraining her urge of wanting it, and asked, “Are you the Shaman of the Flame Dragon Tribe?”

 

This point gave her quite the shock. The person opposite her, who appeared so attractive and so young, was actually the Shaman of the Flame Dragon Tribe. This was inconceivable.

 

“What? Do I not look like one?” Su Bai spread his arms and asked.

 

“Not at all.” Ah Liv said without hesitation. It was not merely that he did not resemble one; it was inconceivable for him to be one.

 

In her mind, no Shaman of a Tribe was this young, and moreover this handsome. Most importantly, he had left his Tribe.

 

The Flame Dragon Tribe was some distance from the Green Vine Tribe. How could a Tribe’s Shaman leave so far to come here? This was also a puzzling point, though the most perplexing aspect remained his appearance and age.

 

“Ha ha ha ha… Whether I resemble one or not, does it matter. It is a fact that I am indeed the Shaman of the Flame Dragon Tribe.” Su Bai laughed heartily.

 

He had grown accustomed to this, for apart from Yan Hua who understood the circumstances, everyone else who heard that he was a Shaman displayed expressions of shock, even bewilderment. Therefore, he had become quite used to seeing such expressions from others. However, he did understand their reaction, as he was probably the first Shaman of such a young age in these Primitive Tribes.

 

“I wonder what cooperation the Shaman wishes to establish with our Tribe?” Ah Liv’s attitude began to change.

 

Initially, she had thought the other party was merely an ordinary person, or at most a Warrior perhaps, because judging from his Physique and demeanour, he appeared to be someone of considerable strength.

 

She had never imagined that he was actually the Shaman of the Flame Dragon Tribe. Since it was a Tribe’s Shaman who had come personally, her attitude naturally changed, though she remained uncertain about what cooperation he sought.

 

Additionally, she was quite curious about what those preserved meat tasted like and why they smelt so fragrant.

 

“I would like you to draw me a map of the surrounding area. I can give you some ceramic or dried meat in return.” Su Bai said earnestly.

 

What he wanted was to understand this continent properly. Since the other party was relatively familiar with the surroundings, having them provide him with a map would be best.

 

“Draw a map?” This was the first time Ah Liv had heard this term, and her face was naturally filled with confusion.

 

“That is to say, tell me about the surrounding area. I wish to understand what Tribes are nearby and what those Tribes do.” Su Bai said.

 

He suddenly realised that having the other party draw a map was probably not very realistic, but being told about the surrounding environment would be fine.

 

After all, once spring arrived, he would begin establishing trade routes. His primary trading partners would be the surrounding Tribes, so he would not always need to send people to the Spotted Deer Tribe.

 

Most importantly, he wanted the Flame Dragon Tribe to become like the Spotted Deer Tribe in the future, becoming a Tribe that attracted everyone to come.

 

Only if the Tribe could attract people from other Tribes would the Flame Dragon Tribe have hope of expanding its personnel and enlarging.

 

The reason for asking the other party to tell him about nearby Tribes was precisely this, so that he could convey this information to those Tribes and thereby establish a trade route.

 

This trip away from the Tribe also served this purpose. Apart from taking a break, he also wanted to see if there were other Tribes along the great river.

 

If there were other Tribes, he would conveniently learn about the distances involved and what those Tribes did, to see if they could assist the Flame Dragon Tribe in any way.

 

“Why does the Shaman wish to know these things? Do you intend to invade these Tribes?” Although Ah Liv’s tone remained respectful, hearing this made her somewhat uncomfortable.

 

She sighed and continued earnestly, “If you wish to invade these Tribes, then I cannot tell you.”

 

Although the girl very much wanted to know what preserved meat tasted like, her conscience told her she could not share this information.

 

When the Black Snake Tribe had previously invaded the Flame Dragon Tribe, she had heard about it and found it quite remarkable.

 

Therefore, when she had just heard that the other party was from the Flame Dragon Tribe, her attitude had softened somewhat. However, she had not expected that he would also want to invade other Tribes.

 

This not only shocked her but also angered her somewhat. She had not expected that after being bullied, he would turn around and bully others as well.

 

“I believe you have misunderstood. I do not intend to invade any Tribe. I just want to trade with them, nothing more.” Su Bai said calmly.

 

He understood why the other party was so angry, which was why he remained so calm. After all, this request would seem suspicious to any ordinary person.

 

“I see. But, if that is all, why would you personally leave your Tribe? Do you not find this too dangerous?” Ah Liv asked.

 

“Have you not also left your Tribe? Do you not find it dangerous?” Rather than answering directly, Su Bai posed a counter-question.

 

“I am different. You are the Shaman of the Flame Dragon Tribe. It is far too dangerous for you to leave your Tribe.” Ah Liv shook her head repeatedly.

 

“Are you not also the Daughter of a Chieftain or a Shaman? When you left, did they not worry?” Su Bai continued his counter-questioning.

 

“…” Ah Liv was stunned and asked in shock, “How did you know? I am certain I did not say anything.”

 

“I could tell from your clothing and the things you wear. It is not difficult to tell.” Su Bai said lightly.

 

He had known from the moment he saw her that her status was not ordinary. The Beast Tooth necklaces, Beast Tooth bracelets, and Beast Tooth anklets she wore were numerous, and she had quite a lot of Animal Hide on her.

 

If she were an ordinary member of the Tribe, she would not have been allocated so many items. Additionally, her demeanour and temperament were also different, though this was something Su Bai had not voiced out.

 

From these few points alone, he knew that she was certainly not an ordinary member of her Tribe.

 

After hearing this, Ah Liv unconsciously touched the Beast tooth necklace around her neck and said hesitantly, “This… this was given to me by Father.”

 

“Anyways, I wonder what you think? If you agree with what I said, I can give you the items right now.” Su Bai continued to inquire.

 

He had deliberately brought these items on this trip, just in case they were needed.

 

Of course, he had not brought many of these items. He had only brought one ceramic bowl, and some preserved meat and dried meat from before.
