Chapter 36: Performing Artificial Rain in Ancient Times

Ou Mu said that if she wants rain, she makes a downpour; Ou Mu isn't a Plague God, she's a goddess.

The tribe members swarmed toward her, then suddenly lifted her whole body up; she shouted, "Hey, what are you doing? Stop it, stop!"

Nan Qinghuan was hoisted high by the clan, and they kept calling out "goddess"; beside them, Ying was drenched, wiping rainwater as they looked at the raised Nan Qinghuan and said, "My female is a goddess, is a goddess."

Congratulations, Clan Leader, congratulations, Clan Leader.

In an instant, the congratulatory shouts echoed through the valley.

Huaner…

Nan Qinghuan, lifted by those clan members, felt dizzy; soon she fell into Ying's sturdy arms and said, "Huaner, I'll take you back."

Along the way, Ying led at the front, carrying Nan Qinghuan, with a crowd behind; the unburned tribe members also followed Ying down the mountain. That day Nan Qinghuan realized how vast Ying's domain was—several peaks belonged to him, and those clan members were all under his rule.

Not far away, Aning saw them descending, and she hurriedly called out to A Yue, "Shamaness, the Clan Leader is back."

A Yue finally halted the rain‑praying Ritual, drenched, and ran toward Ying; upon seeing him holding Nan Qinghuan, a flash of jealousy crossed her eyes, "Ying, you finally returned. I prayed to the Heavenly God for rain to nourish all things, and at last it rained."

Seeing A Yue try to claim Nan Qinghuan's merit, Dashan could no longer stay silent, "Shamaness, this rain wasn't summoned by you; it was our goddess Ou Mu who prayed for it. Ou Mu possesses earth‑shaking power to bring rain; this rain is hers, not yours."

Dashan, what nonsense are you spouting? Clearly it was the Shamaness who set up the altar here and prayed for rain that caused the downpour. Clan Leader, you must not…

Enough, A Yue. Who prayed for the rain is irrelevant; what matters is that the tribe unites. From now on I don't want to hear any talk of the Plague God. Qinghuan is the goddess of my Ying Tribe.

Qinghuan, you're a goddess; you're amazing, how did you know when it would rain?

Axi saw her being carried back by Ying and realized the two of them were fine. A Yue was shameless; it was clearly Qinghuan who caused the rain, yet she claimed she prayed for it. She was merely trying to get Ying's attention and show off in front of him.

I…

She hurriedly signaled to Ying, "Put me down, I still need to treat the tribe's sick."

Although the tribe members were set down, many were injured; aside from the dead, the survivors still needed care.

No need for you; I am the Shamaness, healing the tribe is my duty.

Having said that, A Yue couldn't mind her drenched state and wanted to treat the tribe, but the tribe's charred, pitch‑black members were also wounded, and they didn't want A Yue to see. "I'll have the goddess treat them; Shamaness, you should go back."

I also want the goddess to see them; the goddess's medicine works quickly.

I also want.

You all…

Nan Qinghuan saw the tribe trust her own medical skill and not A Yue's, sneered, walked to A Yue's side, and coldly said, "A Yue, don't think I don't know how this mountain fire started. To deal with me you sacrificed the tribe's lives; you're not a Shamaness at all."

Hearing this, A Yue clenched her teeth but refused the accusation, sneering, "I don't know what you're talking about."
