Chapter 250

Shu Yun looked at them: 'Don't worry, the shaman and the clan chief already know about this; they've already had the tribespeople come in shifts to dig, the excavation over there won't stop, the speed won't slow, and at the latest in two days we'll be able to connect to the tribe's territory.'

But we need to keep the quote marks? Probably keep as is. Use English punctuation.

Remember to use the glossary: shaman should be Shaman, clan chief should be clan chief, and tribe's territory should be tribe's territory.

We need to output as 【1】 translation.

Let's craft:

【1】 Shu Yun looked at them: "Don't worry, the shaman and the clan chief already know about this matter; they've already had the tribe members come in batches to dig, the digging over there won't stop, the speed won't be slow, at the latest in two days we can connect to the tribe's territory."

Check: Keep the colon after 'looked'? Shu Yun looked at them: 'Don't worry, the shaman and the clan chief already know about this; they've already had the tribespeople come in shifts to dig, the excavation over there won't stop, the speed won't slow, and at the latest in two days we'll be able to connect to the tribe's territory.' So we can do 'Shu Yun looked at them: "Don't worry,..." Good.

Afterwards, we won't need to be so careful, and we'll be faster.

Translation: "After that, we won't need to be so careful, and we'll be faster."

But need to keep the quote? This line is part of Shu Yun's speech continuing? Actually line 2 is a separate sentence: 'Afterwards, we won't need to be so careful, and we'll be faster.' Likely still Shu Yun speaking. We'll output as 【2】 translation.

【2】 "After that, we won't need to be so careful, and we'll be faster."

Uncle, do you also want to stay here and dig with us?

She then adjusted her nonexistent sleeves: 'Later I'll make some delicious food for you to eat.'

Translation: He then adjusted his nonexistent sleeves: "Later I'll make some tasty food for you to eat."

But need to consider gender: Wu Yue is female. The line says 'She then adjusted her nonexistent sleeves: "Later I'll make some delicious food for you to eat."' The subject is Wu Yue (she). So we need to use she/her. So 'She then adjusted her nonexistent sleeves: "Later I'll make some delicious food for you to eat."'

【6】 She then adjusted her nonexistent sleeves: "Later I'll make some tasty food for you to eat."

After saying that, she realized they were currently quite fragrant and not suitable for making strongly flavored food.

Translation: After saying that, she realized they were currently in a fragrant state and not suitable for making strongly flavored food.

But this term might mean 'very fragrant'? Actually it could mean 'very aromatic'? Might be 'they are currently fragrant'? Might be a typo? We'll translate literally as 'they are currently fragrant'.

【7】 After saying that, she realized they were currently fragrant and not suitable for making strongly flavored food.
