Chapter 368: and translation of title

After the ceremony ended, Wu Yue followed behind Xuehu Wu as they descended from the altar, with neat wooden tables and chairs set up on both sides of the open space.

Named entities: Wu Yue, Xuehu Wu. Also maybe the altar is not a named entity. The open space is not. So list Wu Yue, Xuehu Wu.

The Rock Salt Tribe and Poison Scorpion Tribe people sitting behind the tables stared at the food they had never seen before, inhaling the wafts of tempting aroma, feeling their saliva uncontrollably flow from their mouths.

Named entities: Rock Salt Tribe, Poison Scorpion Tribe. Not in the glossary, so we need to translate. Also perhaps 'Rock Salt Tribe people' refers to the Rock Salt Tribe. So the entities are Rock Salt Tribe and Poison Scorpion Tribe.

Seeing their expression as if they wanted to swallow the tables whole, Xuehu Wu felt delighted: "The ceremony has ended, the trade fair will begin tomorrow, welcome everyone to our Snow Tiger Tribe. The food on the tables has been carefully prepared by our tribe's females; please, try some."

Named entities: Xuehu Wu, Snow Tiger Tribe. Also maybe the trade fair is not a named entity.

Although no one heard what Xuehu Wu had said earlier, the words 'try some' somehow sank into their hearts.

Named entity: Xuehu Wu.

One person reached out, grabbed the tasty food from the stone basin before them, and shoved it into their mouth.

No named entities.

After taking a bite, their eyes turned red, and in the next second they began scrambling for the food on the table.

No named entities.

If one had to say who was the most composed, it would be the shamaness of the Rock Salt Tribe, but her gaze at this moment was strange—those greedy, crimson eyes were not fixed on the food on the table, but on Yuan Lang sitting beside Wu Yue.

Named entities: Rock Salt Tribe, Yuan Lang, Wu Yue. (The term 'shamaness' is a generic title and not included as a specific named entity.)

The females' scorching, fiery gaze was almost tangible, impossible to ignore.

No named entities.

Moreover, the beastman warrior, whose senses were already sharp, Yuan Lang's handsome brows furrowed instantly, his sharp, knife‑like eyes turning toward the source of that scorching gaze.

Named entities: Beastman Warrior, Yuan Lang. (Although 'beastman warrior' is a generic role, it is listed as a named entity per the glossary.)

The next moment, his handsome face twisted slightly, and the gaze of the Shun Yuan across from him was utterly repulsive.

Named entity: Shun Yuan. (The term 'handsome appearance' is not an entity.)

Seeing Yuan Lang's expression as if someone had forced feces upon him, Wu Yue could only lower her head and eat earnestly to stifle the laughter about to burst out.

Named entities: Yuan Lang, Wu Yue.

But her constantly shrugging shoulders gave her away completely.

No named entities.

The beastfolk withdrew their sharp gaze, coldly looking at the trembling little female beside them and said, "Is that funny?"

Named entity: Beastfolk. (The term 'little female' is not an entity.)

Wu Yue's body stiffened; she suddenly clutched her throat, her small face flushing crimson as she muffled, "Mmm‑mmm!"

Named entity: Wu Yue.

Damn it!

No named entities.

Help! I laughed too hard just now and accidentally choked!

No named entities.

Yuan Lang's grim expression froze instantly; he sighed helplessly, picked up a cup of water, and held it to Wu Yue's lips, saying, "Drink water!"

Named entities: Yuan Lang, Wu Yue.

Tongzi watched his host's ravenous, starving‑ghost eating style and wished he could shrink his whole head into his satchel.

Named entity: Tongzi. (The term 'host' is not an entity.)

Host, at least these foods were all given to the tribe's females by you, and besides, you even ate two buns before mounting the altar to fill your stomach.

No named entities (the term 'host' is generic).

Even now, with this eating manner, those unaware might think the Snow Tiger Tribe's grand feast today is just a case of swelling one's face to look plump.

Named entity: Snow Tiger Tribe.

But how wronged Wu Yue feels—Yuan Lang's gaze just now was truly terrifying; it's not like she simply choked by accident!

Named entities: Wu Yue, Yuan Lang.

After finally calming down, Wu Yue took two big breaths, her red eyes turning toward Yuan Lang to thank him, but she accidentally caught the expression of the Rock Salt Tribe's shamaness across from her.

Named entities: Wu Yue, Yuan Lang, Rock Salt Tribe. (The term 'shamaness' is generic and not included as a specific named entity.)

She felt a chill run from the soles of her feet to the tips of her hair, and her heart clenched tightly.

No named entities.

That female's expression just now was like that of a demon.

No named entities.

Yuan Lang also noticed Wu Yue's stiffness, followed her gaze, and saw the Rock Salt Tribe's shamaness gently smiling toward them.

Named entities: Yuan Lang, Wu Yue, Rock Salt Tribe.

Yuan Lang frowned in disgust and turned his head away, no longer looking at her.

Named entity: Yuan Lang.

Wu Yue adjusted her mindset, gave the shamaness a deep look, then sat up.

Named entity: Wu Yue. (The term 'shamaness' is generic.)

"That shamaness's gaze just now was utterly terrifying, like a hungry ghost from hell."

No named entities (the term 'shamaness' is generic).

Yuan Lang's hand gripping the roasted meat paused, his deep eyes looking at her: "That female who looks like a Shun Yuan?"

Named entities: Yuan Lang, Shun Yuan.

Hearing him describe the shamaness's appearance that way, Wu Yue's chill faded somewhat: "Hmm, that kind of gaze is truly terrifying; I believe that if it were only her and me here, she would surely kill me in the most brutal way."

Named entity: Wu Yue. (The term 'shamaness' is generic and not counted as a specific named entity.)

Yuan Lang naturally had no reason to doubt Wu Yue's words, so...

Named entities: Yuan Lang, Wu Yue.

His eyes turned icy as he gazed at the Shun Yuan‑like female across from him, and he thought, "How dare this creature harbor ill will toward Yue!"

Named entities: Shun Yuan, Yue (referring to Wu Yue). (The pronoun 'he' likely refers to Yuan Lang.)

Seeing Yuan Lang look at her, the shamaness's smile instantly widened, while her beastman warrior companions were lost in the Snow Tiger Tribe's delicacies, unaware that their tribe's chief shamaness was now staring with fiery eyes at the beastfolk across from them.

Named entities: Yuan Lang, (generic) shamaness, Beastman Warrior, Snow Tiger Tribe, (generic) chief shamaness, Beastfolk. (The terms 'shamaness' and 'chief shamaness' are generic and not counted as specific named entities.)

But the next moment, a flicker of extreme chill appeared in Yuan Lang's deep eyes, and the shamaness felt her body stiffen suddenly, as if she had been cast into a place of utter cold.

Named entity: Yuan Lang. (The term 'shamaness' is generic.)

How familiar this chill felt! Gazing at his handsome face, the female's madness surged once again.

No named entities.

She lowered her head to avoid Yuan Lang's gaze; the hands they had clasped were already bruised and bleeding from her grip, yet the excitement and joy in her heart left her feeling no pain at all.

Named entity: Yuan Lang. (The pronoun 'she' refers to the shamaness.)

Hehe... hehehe...

No named entities.

The Snow Tiger Tribe's beastman warriors...

Named entities: Snow Tiger Tribe, Beastman Warrior.

I really like...

No named entities.

The evening banquet ended amidst what seemed like a lively atmosphere.

No named entities.

After the Rock Salt Tribe's beastfolk returned to their dwellings, the shamaness summoned a beastman warrior into her hut, while the remaining beastman warriors watched enviously, wishing they could take his place.

Named entities: Rock Salt Tribe, (generic) shamaness, Beastman Warrior. (The term 'beastfolk' refers to the people.)

But they knew the chief shamaness's temperament—though she seemed gentle, she most disliked anyone defying her wishes.

Named entity: (generic) chief shamaness.

That night, the beastman warriors of the Black Wolf Tribe living in the rooms beside the shamaness stayed awake all night; damn it, staying up late made such a racket.

Named entities: (generic) shamaness, Black Wolf Tribe, Beastman Warrior.

Have you considered how these single beastfolk feel?

No named entities (the term 'single beastfolk' is generic).

Moreover, the shamaness's cry is truly unpleasant, resembling the calls of the Shun Yuan that chased them when they went out this year to drive away the fireball beasts.

Named entities: (generic) shamaness, Fireball Beast, Shun Yuan. (The term 'Fireball Beast' is a specific creature name.)

What's more, this shamaness looks even more like a Shun Yuan...

Named entities: (generic) shamaness, Shun Yuan.

Suddenly, the Black Wolf Tribe's beastman warriors had a bold speculation...

Named entities: Black Wolf Tribe, Beastman Warrior.

"Hey, you say this shamaness looks like a Shun Yuan and even cries like one—could she be the offspring of a Shun Yuan and a beastfolk?"

Named entities: (generic) shamaness, Shun Yuan, Beastfolk.

Likewise, the few beastfolk who couldn't sleep instantly perked up upon hearing this stimulating topic.

Named entity: Beastfolk.

Thus, the next day, the rumor that the Rock Salt Tribe's shamaness might be the offspring of a Shun Yuan and a beastfolk spread like wind throughout the Snow Tiger Tribe.

Named entities: Rock Salt Tribe, (generic) shamaness, Shun Yuan, Beastfolk, Snow Tiger Tribe.

All the tribes participating in the trade fair had heard this rumor.

No named entities (the term 'trade fair' is generic).

However, only the beastfolk of the Polar Forest Tribe who have hunted fierce beasts know what a Shun Yuan truly looks like.

Named entities: Polar Forest Tribe, Beastfolk, Shun Yuan. (The term 'fierce beast' is generic.)

Everyone else basically had no concrete impression of it.

No named entities.

Wu Yue had risen early and was washing up in her room when the courtyard door was loudly pounded; she could tell with her toes who it was.

Named entity: Wu Yue.

"Yue, are you up yet? I brought you some tasty food."

Named entity: Yue (Wu Yue). Also the speaker is Qingcao.

If it were before, Wu Yue would surely be moved by Qingcao's thoughtfulness, but now...

Named entities: Wu Yue, Qingcao.

No need to think; this guy is definitely looking for her about something.

No named entities.

She staggered out of the bedroom, about to open the door, only to find that this guy was already standing in her courtyard patting his buttocks.

No named entities.

"You climbed over the wall again!"

No named entities.

Qingcao, who was caught, gave a dry laugh, then hurriedly raised the stone bowl placed on the wall in front of them: "Hehe, I really came to bring delicious food."

Having said that, she lifted her round, gleaming eyes: "Don't believe me? Look at my sincere little gaze."

Wu Yue chuckled: "Wipe away your eye gunk first, then let me look—it's affecting my mood to eat."

Seeing her turn and walk toward the interior, Qingcao hastily lifted her arm to wipe something from the corner of her eye, then hurriedly followed after her.

"Yue, actually, today when I went to the trade fair and wandered around, I heard many beastman warriors say that the Rock Salt Tribe's shamaness looks like a kind of fierce beast called the obedient monkey."

"I've never seen an obedient monkey, but didn't you earlier follow the beastman warriors on a hunt for fierce beasts?"

"Do you know what an obedient monkey looks like?"

Wu Yue gave her an annoyed look, took a boiled egg from the stone bowl and cracked it open: "Still talking about bringing me food? Bringing food is just incidental—this is the real purpose, right?"

Hit the nail on the head by Wu Yue, Qingcao brazenly sat down: "Come on, spill it—I think that shamaness is sturdy and pretty good‑looking, but from what the beastman warriors say, they seem to dislike her."

Wu Yue looked at her amusedly: "Do you know what the biggest trait of this obedient‑monkey fierce beast is?"

Here's the key point!

Qingcao's two ears twitched, her little excitement written all over her face: "Spill it quick!"

Wu Yue also happily obliged her little gossip, especially since that shamaness's gaze toward her yesterday was genuinely unfriendly and even carried a strong killing intent.

"This obedient‑monkey fierce beast has no males; they like to capture males of other species, bring them to their nests to mate, and give birth to offspring.

Moreover… their favorite is male beastman warriors."

Qingcao's face instantly turned green…

Snatching beastman warriors to mate!

Forcing a dry laugh, Qingcao stood up and walked out: "Well, Yue, take your time eating, no rush—I'm going to go find Aya to play."

Having said that, she took off running.

Wu Yue, meanwhile, slowly nibbled the egg in her hand and gave two cold snorts!

Dare to shoot her a death glare—let you know how powerful rumors can be!

After finishing the food, Wu Yue slung her forgiving‑colored backpack over her shoulder, held Lan Pangzi in her arms, and headed toward the trade venue.

"Are you also a shaman disciple?"

Just as she arrived at the trade venue, a gentle female voice sounded beside her; upon hearing it, Wu Yue looked and saw it was the shamaness who had shot her a death glare at yesterday's gathering.

"Who are you?" Wu Yue's voice was icy; she had no interest in getting to know a female harboring ulterior motives.

Moreover, last night she had been full of malice toward her, yet today she pretended to be gentle and soft.

"Playing palace intrigue?"

The female's expression stiffened, then she put on a gentle smile again: "I am the shamaness of the Rock Salt Tribe."

Wu Yue gave a cold nod: "Ah, a shamaness—isn't that just a shaman disciple?"

The female's face stiffened again: "Yes… yes."

Wu Yue could even hear the creak of her teeth grinding.

Wu Yue muttered in a voice only a few could hear: "A shaman disciple is a shaman disciple—why insist on calling it a shamaness, making it sound so different?"

After muttering that, she then continued in a low voice: "What do you want with me?"

"I just arrived at this trade fair, and you could find me—saying you're not deliberately blocking me here, I don't believe it."

"Despicable person!"

Wu Yue's this‑acting‑as‑if‑she‑owned‑the‑place attitude really pissed off the shamaness, who inwardly cursed Wu Yue as a despicable person.

But thinking of her own goal, she did her best to suppress her anger and once again put on a gentle smile: "Your tribe's houses are really nice; I'd like to go inside and have a look—could you take me?"

"Yo ho~"

Wu Yue gave a cold snort, thinking this person was treating her as an idiot—behind them stalked three husks who could punch a bull to death with a single swing, while she herself was alone; did they really expect her to bring you around the courtyard?

Yesterday your towering killing intent was obvious as day—what kind of brain‑damage would make her bring you around for a stroll?

"I'm busy, I have no time, and besides, our tribe's houses don't allow outsiders we don't like to enter."

But sometimes, a slap in the face comes just that unexpectedly…

"How about it—aren't our tribe's houses far nicer than those huge stone houses of your super‑big tribes!"

"Let me tell you, these are all built thanks to the efforts of our Shaman Yue adult."

No sooner had Wu Yue's remark about not letting outsiders in finished than Teng Qian emerged from a nearby tribesperson's home, accompanied by two Black Wolf Tribe members, boasting as they walked.

The tribesperson standing at the door waved his hands enthusiastically: "Come by when you have time!"

Seeing the tribesperson's enthusiastic beast‑skin‑holding pose, Wu Yue wished she could rush forward and hang a "Spring Wind Tower" sign on his doorway.

Damn, after just saying she didn't welcome people in, you're acting all hot‑and‑bothered like a madam.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, she turned her head to look at that shamaness who resembled an obedient monkey…

Sure enough, that thing and the few beastman warriors behind it were giving her a strange look.

"Looks like this tribesperson still quite likes having outsiders come in to look around his house."

Wu Yue chuckled: "He's got a screw loose; he's not cured yet."

Listening to Wu Yue's reason that even a dog wouldn't believe, the shamaness's smile finally slipped: "You're not welcoming us, are you?"

Wu Yue gave a faint smile: "Welcome, but I welcome you to come wail at the trade fair—I just don't welcome you wandering around our tribe."

The shamaness's smile vanished completely, not a trace left: "What's your relation to Yuan Lang?"

"Yuan Lang?"

Wu Yue's eyes narrowed instantly—this female really does have designs on Yuan Lang? In just one night she's already learned his name.

I don't know why, but thinking of that makes her feel uneasy.

"Host, sure enough—beastman warriors as handsome and upright as Yuan Lang are especially favored by the obedient monkeys!"

Tongzi, waving a tiny fist from the pouch at her side, spoke indignantly.

"Why not go in?" The standoff between the two shaman disciples was broken by a low‑pitched beastman voice.

Hearing that familiar voice, Wu Yue let out a deep sigh. Yuan Lang Warrior, you really can't help but mutter too much.

Suddenly stared at by the little female with a somewhat resentful glance, Yuan Lang's heart jumped, a tingling sensation spreading, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face: "What's wrong?"

Seeing the smile on the Beastfolk's face, Wu Yue sighed, beauty really does invite trouble easily.
