Chapter 312: The Spirit Tribe Arrives

Yun Li

Since learning that Yin abandoned them for another female, Li Sheng looks at her with a worried gaze several times a day; Yun Li helplessly glanced at her and said, "Just say whatever you want to say."

But the incident with Yin actually hasn't affected her as much as the wandering Beast Person who has been following them now, so whatever Li Sheng is thinking, she feels the youngster's worry about her is a bit unnecessary.

However, Li Sheng's current worry is exactly what she fears: "That Beast Person has been following us all the time."

That day, after the wandering Beast Person caught up, he rattled off a bunch of useless chatter, and then kept trailing behind them.

Hearing this, Yun Li glanced at the wandering Beast Person resting not far away; although she was also a bit troubled inside, she didn't show it in front of the two youngsters.

It's fine; let's just say we hired a master bodyguard without spending a Crystal Core.

Li Sheng has been staying by Yun Li's side for quite a while, so naturally he knows what she means by "bodyguard."

But the wandering Beast Person wouldn't be so kind as to become their bodyguard; it's just that the time hasn't come yet, so he hasn't acted against them.

……

Half a year later, the Spirit Tribe.

Staring at the towering structures jutting from the ground, even though memories of modern skyscrapers linger, Yun Li is still amazed by the Beast People's architecture.

Carving a whole mountain hollow to make the tribe's main camp—what kind of scene is that, I ask?

Flying beasts howl in the sky, land beasts roar on the ground, mixed with distant clamor.

Without even getting close, Yun Li can already imagine the Spirit Tribe's prosperity.

Looking aside, the two youngsters also seem stunned by the sight, yet this Spirit Tribe is still only a medium-sized tribe on the continent.

What would a truly great tribe look like then?

"It is said that the Spirit Tribe's land wasn't this vast at first; later, a few Purple Rank Beast Persons emerged from their tribe, and every decade or so they'd bring in a small mountain, and gradually the Spirit Tribe became what it is now."

The wandering Beast Person behind them spoke flatly, as if he'd long been accustomed to such scenes in the Spirit Tribe.

Hearing this, Yun Li restrained her astonishment, turned back to the wandering Beast Person and laughed, "Chang Shan, have you been here before? You don't seem surprised at all."

"No."

Chang Shan's expression remained cold as he said, "I've just been to many places and have seen many sights."

It is Yun Li, who seems to have come from a great tribe, that still wears a face of awe upon seeing a tribe like the Spirit Tribe.

Yun Li nodded, "Looks like I've just not been to enough places."

If it weren't for a heart condition in her previous life, even traveling out of the province wouldn't have required her to worry about fatigue; she wouldn't be so inexperienced.

Chang Shan lowered his eyelids slightly and said nothing.

Since they've arrived at the Spirit Tribe, some matters should now be prepared.

Shortly after entering the Spirit Tribe, Yun Li, with the two youngsters, just asked where they could stay, when Chang Shan suddenly vanished.

"Where is Chang Shan? Have Li Sheng and Li Cheng seen where he went?"

Probably because Chang Shan had helped them a few times along the way; besides Yun Li's instinctive wariness toward him, the two youngsters had actually begun to rely on Chang Shan a bit.

Regarding this, Yun Li didn't directly warn them to guard against Chang Shan being detrimental to the three of them; she merely used Yin's mid‑journey departure as an example, telling them not to rely on Chang Shan, lest when he leaves they'd be upset all over again.

What Yun Li finds somewhat fortunate is that Chang Shan has never hidden his dislike of meddling, so even though the two youngsters rely on him a bit, they don't regard him as more important than Yun Li.

But they still need to prevent the youngsters from inadvertently spilling all their plans to Chang Shan.

Thinking that, Li Sheng answered Yun Li's question, "I don't know; Chang Shan just said he had something to take care of, and the moment we turned around, he was gone."

To be honest, Li Sheng feels rather disappointed that Chang Shan didn't go with them.

She thinks it would be better if Yun Li could stay with Chang Shan, so their journey wouldn't be so hard.

But whether Yun Li or Chang Shan, they don't seem to have that intention, and Li Sheng doesn't dare bring it up with Yun Li, because she knows Yun Li would be displeased if she said it.

Hearing that, a calculating thought flashed through Yun Li's mind; she glanced at the Beast Persons coming and going, smiled at the two youngsters and said,

"Since he has business, we'll ignore him for now. This is your first time in the Spirit Tribe, so why not wander around and gain some experience?"

"Alright!"

Li Sheng and Li Cheng's eyes lit up instantly; as youngsters they naturally love excitement, and if it weren't for Yun Li's instruction that they must obey everything along the way, they'd have already been unable to resist exploring on their own after arriving.

Seeing a rare bright smile on their faces, Yun Li felt a pang of melancholy; had they not followed her, they wouldn't have endured so much hardship.

Fortunately, here she could at least make up for them a bit; Yun Li quickly suppressed those negative feelings and led the two youngsters to the Market within the Spirit Tribe.

Meanwhile, Chang Shan skillfully turned left and right through the Spirit Tribe, finally arriving at a courtyard where he met the leading Beast Person who was selling Beast Slaves there.

"Is what you said really true? Not only a female but also a Witch Doctor?"

The leading Beast Person, hearing Chang Shan's words, instantly showed interest, "How does she look? If she's not attractive, it's useless, since the female we need this time is meant for our leader to present to that elder."

Chang Shan's cold face revealed a faint smile, "If she weren't attractive, why would I come looking for you?"

The leading Beast Person stroked the beard at his mouth, stared at Chang Shan for a while, saw his expression unchanged, then, with some doubt, he said,

"Is that female voluntarily selling herself?"

It's no wonder he asked; a good‑looking Witch Doctor usually isn't short of male suitors, so how could she voluntarily become a Beast Slave?

Chang Shan replied calmly, "No, but she currently has no male nearby, and this time even if I don't act on her, she'll eventually fall into someone else's hands someday."

The leading Beast Person gave an understanding smile, "I don't care about those details; as long as you can bring the person to me whole, I'll help you find information about your brother."

Seeing that he finally agreed to help gather his brother's information, Chang Shan showed no joy; instead, his gaze sharpened at that moment:

"It's settled then. In three days, I'll bring the person before you."

"Fine!"

The leading Beast Person waved his hand and said, "In three days, we'll hand over the person with one hand and the information with the other."
