Chapter 625: Only Trust the Beast God, Have the Big Shots Swear an Oath

~7 min read 1,275 words

Wu Yue remained calm; although the terms of the trade had just been settled, the goods had not yet been exchanged. If the territory that this pale-faced beastfolk tribe has laid claim to cannot satisfy her, humph...

The young female's face was like spring weather—changing in an instant. The joy of just obtaining the gem vanished, and her fair little face was full of cold detachment.

Long-haired beastfolk: "..."

Young female, your face-changing speed is really too fast.

But thinking of the parcel of land divided out by the Great Shaman and the Chief, his small grudge was instantly extinguished with a "puff".

He cautiously lifted his eyelids to glance at the cold-faced young female, his tone somewhat appeasing as he said: "That territory itself has no problems, and it's also a very suitable area for salt production within my domain; indeed, this territory is at the edge of the land I manage, and also at the edge of our tribe's territory..."

At the tribe's edge, the territory itself has no problems, that is...

"Which tribe's territory borders this one?"

Wu Yue's clear and icy eyes looked toward the long-haired beastfolk, and she already had a few suspicions in her heart.

As soon as her words fell, she saw a flash of surprise appear on the opposite beastfolk's face.

He couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration for this female shaman; although her shamanic power wasn't strong, her mind was truly formidable, far surpassing the pure females in their tribe who only know eating food and wearing animal skins.

"Wu Yue, you guessed correctly; that territory borders the Sea Snake Tribe. They are a stinking-reputation tribe among our Sea Clan beastfolk, always liking to plunder other tribes' food, and even the territories of tribes that are not as strong as them and lack the protection of a super tribe."

"I will allocate that territory to you; although I can still use the super tribe's name to offer some protection, I cannot keep watching over you—they will surely come looking for trouble."

After saying that, his face was full of contempt. Although the damned Sea Snake Tribe always likes to plunder and bully other tribes' people, among the many Sea Clan beastfolk tribes it remains a very powerful super tribe.

Therefore, if the Snow Moon Tribe and the Sea Snake Tribe were to have any conflict, our father and chief would not go to war with the Sea Snake Tribe over such a tiny land tribe.

Of course, if the Snow Moon Tribe were willing to pay many, many precious items, that would be another matter.

Wu Yue's little face cold: "I am also willing to share the talismans and spells you mentioned, and the precious candles and dyeing tribe can be exchanged with you, but I never expected the mighty Sea Clan super tribe to treat us like this?"

With such a dangerous territory, what use is it for me to come? At any moment we face the danger of being plundered, even our people being killed.

Since you lack sincerity like this, let's just forget about this trade."

After saying that, her icy little face rose, and she turned to walk out.

The long-haired beastfolk stared dumbfounded: "This... this means you're not playing with me anymore?"

He hastily stood up, his vigorous motion even knocking over his chair: "Wu Yue, please wait, I haven't finished speaking yet."

Wu Yue turned around angrily, looking at the pale-faced beastfolk behind with those er kang shou hands; his eager appearance was just missing a "ya me die~" to fit the scene.

"How come your speech sounds like feces, and you have to strain hard to get it out?"

After a cold snort, Wu Yue sat back down in the other's somewhat uncomfortable expression, her haughty little chin lifting: "Hmm, continue."

"Dog host, your expression has a bit of the overbearing CEO flavor from novels."

Tongzi clicked his tongue in the system space, secretly regretting that before binding he hadn't downloaded more good novels to read, which now left him somewhat lacking in reading material.

Wu Yue secretly rolled her eyes: "What flavor is an overbearing CEO? Is it the flavor of pretending to be 13?"

Tongzi: "..."

Heh~ woman.

Seeing her full of impatience, as if she'd leave at the slightest disagreement and abandon the trade, the long-haired beastfolk's previously somewhat excited little heart trembled: "Well, what my father and chief said was, on that territory, as long as the Sea Snake Tribe comes looking for trouble, you can beat them to a pulp, as long as you don't kill the offspring of the Sea Snake Tribe's Great Shaman and Chief."

This still sounds like something a person would say.

Wu Yue gave the opposite pale-faced beastfolk a glance: "Then what do we do if something happens?"

The long-haired beastfolk proudly puffed out his chest, patting his chest: "Isn't there still us? After all, I am also the Great Shaman's offspring."

"Heh, this identity is really too convenient."

Wu Yue teased, and the long-haired beastfolk blushed.

"What are you doing? Saying it so bluntly makes people embarrassed~"

"Oh? Just relying on your mouth, I certainly won't believe it."

The pale-faced long-haired beastfolk stared in shock: "We beastfolk don't tell lies."

Feeling wronged inwardly, who does this little female shaman look down on?

Although people in this world value their promises greatly, for Wu Yue, who possesses memories from her previous life, promises truly have no binding force at all.

She raised an eyebrow: "Compared to your tribe's kind of promise, I trust the Beast God more."

The pale-faced beastfolk's face turned even whiter: "You... you want the Great Shaman and the Chief to swear an oath to the Beast God?"

"Oh~ Beast God, why doesn't this little female shaman just go to heaven?"

Wu Yue raised an eyebrow: "As the sincerity of our trade, I have already shown my sincerity; I think you should also make a showing."

When mentioning the two big shots, the long-haired beastfolk's expression also turned solemn: "I can't decide this matter; I need to consult the Great Shaman and the Chief."

Wu Yue nodded: "Of course."

She paused, then continued: "Since we haven't settled the territory matter, the trade of talismans and spells will wait until you confirm this matter before proceeding."

"The candles and dyeing cloth can still be exchanged as usual."

After all, she also craved those seafoods.

After the long-haired beastfolk responded with a drooping head and a muffled voice, he followed Teng Qian out of the meeting room, taking one step and looking back three times, to conduct the item exchange.

Yuan Lang glanced at Wu Yue beside him, whose little face was slightly furrowed: "Will the Great Shaman and Chief of the Sea Clan super tribe be willing to swear an oath?"

Wu Yue frowned, shaking her little head: "I'm not entirely sure either; after all, the higher one's status, the more they care about this, and you lot probably have the saying 'a ruler's words are not idle talk' as well."

Yuan Lang nodded: "Yes, every word a king speaks is an imperial decree."

Wu Yue looked toward the outside of the meeting room; golden sunlight streamed through the open doors, and she could even see the tiny dust particles floating in the air.

"I hope these two big shots aren't that pedantic; although we value this trade greatly,... the seaside isn't only this one tribe, right?"

As she said those words, her somewhat deep eyes glanced sideways at the window's position, and the corner of her mouth curled up with a sly arc.
