Chapter 175: Kind and Approachable Grandfather

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Wu Yue always felt that Grandma Huashu's gaze toward her today was unusually full of hot tears.

Could it be that she heard the false rumors about herself and Yuan Lang?

"Grandma Huashu, you're looking for me... is something the matter?"

Huashu hehe-laughed, stepped forward and, like holding a little chick, wrapped her arms around Wu Yue's shoulders: "It's your Uncle Yuan Qi who sent me to find you."

So it wasn't because of Yuan Lang's matter after all; Wu Yue inexplicably let out a sigh of relief.

The well-behaved Dian Dian went in, told Qingcao she'd help her fix her hair later, then followed Grandma Huashu away.

All the way, Grandma Huashu's bright, gleaming little eyes never left Wu Yue, making her feel creepy inside.

"Grandma Huashu, do you have something you want to say to me?"

All along, looking at me with that kind of devilish gaze one uses when seeing Flower Maiden, I really feel a bit creeped out, okay?

As if finally waiting for Wu Yue to speak, Grandma Huashu whooshed over to her side: "I heard Yun Qi say that you've actually become a shaman, Yue?"

Her eyes gleamed brightly, full of anticipation.

Wu Yue laughed helplessly: "Well, I just don't want too many people to know right now, so I hope you can keep it a secret for me."

So for this, you actually refer to your partner as 'that guy'?

Grandma Huashu smirked, twitching her brows: "Hehe, Yuan Qi already told me about this; let Ye Duo deal with those outside beastly rascals, anyway she likes the feeling of being surrounded by beastfolk."

Wu Yue hehe-laughed; although she had this idea in mind, saying it out loud still made her a bit embarrassed...

The two walked all the way to the center of the cave area; Wu Yue looked doubtfully at Grandma Huashu: "Grandma Huashu, this isn't the way to your cave, is it?"

Huashu hehe-laughed and blinked: "Of course not; I'm taking you to the shaman's cave—Yun Qi and the others are waiting for you there."

Wu Yue felt awkward...

Just like that, she unexpectedly came to see the tribe's big shot, feeling a bit panicked—what the heck?

The shaman's cave is located in the very center, surrounded by the dwellings of the tribe's beastfolk and half-beast warriors; this arrangement is to protect the tribe's sole shaman.

Even the guards outside the cave are all beastman warriors, showing how much the tribe values the shaman.

Even Ye Duo, on the day she became a shaman's disciple, had two half-beast warriors assigned to protect her.

When there are external tribe beastfolk, they occasionally need Teng Qian to fill in, which shows they certainly do not lack regard.

When the two entered the cave, there were already several beastfolk waiting inside.

Perhaps hearing their voices, everyone's gaze at that moment focused on the cave entrance.

Upon seeing the little female following behind Huashu, each of their eyes instantly lit up.

Wu Yue's expression stiffened; she felt like a meat bun being stared at.

Sitting in the center was the shaman himself; at this moment he didn't seem so unapproachable, but rather exuded an especially kind feeling.

Wu Yue felt ashamed of her own judgment by appearance, having previously thought this shaman was a stern and reserved old man.

As it turns out, he's clearly a kind and approachable grandfather!

Wu Yue's nervousness instantly settled; she obediently followed behind Grandma Huashu and sat down on a grass nest to the side.
