Ephemeral clouds and works

Chapter 101 The Number One Assistant

    

male orc with cubs said to Sang:My cubs caught a whiff of the aroma coming from Yanjia Cave and refused to eat their grilled meat. They're causing quite a stir, and I'm at my wit's end. Could I trade...Ripple and Sol were placed in a new cave by the bear clan. Moments later, two female bears brought them food and expressed their gratitude to Ripple and Sol.

One of the two females was Meng's sister, SiTian. The other female had average looks and a physique that leaned more towards a male beastman, standing at 1.9 meters tall. Standing beside the other female, she appeared very strong.

"Thank you for saving my brother. If it weren't for you, I would have lost my last family member!"

Si Tian put down her things, then took the initiative to thank the two people, her eyes filled with tears, her attitude was very sincere.

As fellow beastmen, we certainly couldn't just stand by and watch Meng get ambushed. If it were any other beastman, we would have stepped in to help too.

Ripples smiled softly.

Si-tian still repeatedly expressed her thanks, and even gave Lianyi a piece of linen cloth. This was a very expensive gift of thanks, as linen cloth was lighter and more breathable than animal skin. It was a very popular item among females during the hot season and harvest season.

Unfortunately, the annual output of hemp fabric produced by this bird species is limited. Apart from supplying their own clan members, there isn't much available for trade. Female birds treasure any piece of hemp fabric they possess, often saving it for their betrothal ceremony. So, Si Tian taking out this piece of cloth shows how grateful she is to Lian Yi and Du.

Ripples smiled and took the piece of linen. She had already felt that the leather skirt was a bit stuffy, and she was just about to change into a cool linen dress. This piece of linen from Sithien, plus the one given to her by the Black Snake tribe, would be just enough to make a whole outfit.

Si Tian's face remained unchanged, only tightening her fingers. She smiled and bid farewell to Lian Yi, then left the temporary cave with another female.

When the man left, Lian'ri sat on the stone bed inside the cave. Her smile was deep and unsettling, making Duo feel a shiver run down his spine. If she were in beast form, the scales on her back would certainly be standing on end.

After seeing this Si Tian, the ripples became even more certain that the violent female and cub's deaths were definitely related to this Si Tian.

Because Si Tian is Yan Jia's most loyal supporter, after Yan Jia returned to the embrace of the beast god, she left her cubs and followed a male tiger tribe orc. This time, she didn't choose to bond with anyone, but instead chose to let him be her follower.

During her time with the Tiger Clan, Yan Jia used her knowledge to gain enough benefits for herself and then urged the tiger clan beastman Xiao to leave the Tiger Clan with her.

They then arrived at the territory of the Bear Clan and unexpectedly rescued Si Tian, who was being attacked by wild beasts. They were therefore able to rightfully enter the Bear Clan's territory.

At that time, Si Tian was alone. She had no mate and no followers because her older brother had long since returned to the embrace of the Beast God in order to avenge his female and cubs. She lost her protection and could only live on her own. Although the clan would take care of single females, they couldn't be completely attentive to everyone's needs.

Si Tian left the tribe alone because she wanted to eat fresh candy sticks. She went to a place she had accidentally discovered while foraging last time. There was a small patch of candy sticks there, enough for her to eat for a long time. So she selfishly didn't tell anyone.

After Si Tian arrived, she picked a candy stick. A yellow stork immediately found her and attacked her. Apparently, the place where the candy sticks grew was the yellow stork's territory, which gave Yan Jia the opportunity to save her.

And after Si Tian was rescued, she ignored the fact that Yan Jia and her followers were invaders. When she returned to the tribe, she only said that they had come to save her after hearing her cries for help.

Yan Jia also cleverly presented potatoes and sweet potatoes, two new foods, dispelling the bear chief's concerns. Then, while staying in the bear tribe for a period, she discovered that the tribe's specialty, sweet sticks, were actually corn from her world.

Because of this discovery, Yan Jia and her followers boasted, having taken many good things from the bear clan, especially honey and royal jelly. While thinking sweetly discovered Yan Jia's uniqueness, when Yan Jia left, she unhesitatingly followed the other party, claiming that she wanted to work with Yan Jia to benefit the entire beast world continent.

Yan Jia felt that having a sidekick would be quite good, especially one like Si Tian who was obedient to her. Besides, their combination made it easier for them to enter other beast tribes' territories without being expelled. For a long period of time, the two cooperated very well; you could say that Si Tian was Yan Jia's most reliable assistant.

Ripples touched the hemp fabric in her hand and decided to make a piece of clothing out of it these two days. She wanted to wear it, so that the other party would have no excuse to go back. After all, this was a gift to express her gratitude for saving his life.

After Si Tian returned to the cave dwelling she shared with her brother, her face fell. She thought that female named Lian Yi was truly clueless. Knowing that she was alone and her brother was seriously injured, she still had the nerve to accept the most precious piece of hemp cloth from her hand. If it weren't for the need to make the clan think she cared about her brother, she wouldn't have given up that piece of hemp cloth.

No matter how much Si Tian cursed Lian Yi, she couldn't take back what she had given. So she turned and walked towards the place where Wu was. She wanted to see her brother's injuries. If they were too serious, she wouldn't be able to hunt in the future, so she would have to find someone else to rely on.

It's all that woman and her pup's fault, even in death they drag her down. If it weren't for the fact that she was alone there at the time, to avoid suspicion, she pretended to take the blame for everything, blaming herself for not jumping in to save them. She even acted remorseful and refused the advances of the male beastmen from her tribe.

Just as Sitia arrived at the witch's dwelling, Lianyi was also invited there by the Bear Clan's witch.

Ripple saw the bear clan's shaman, an elderly, androgynous beastman with a face etched with wrinkles. The other looked at Ripple with kind and joyful eyes, and said with a smile:

"Ripple, thank you for saving Fang. I've just checked his injuries, especially the deeper ones, and you did a great job treating them. There's no swelling or bleeding. Although the broken bone in his left leg hasn't healed yet, it was set well and shouldn't affect his hunting when he recovers."

"Thank you for the compliments, it's just some simple treatment methods. I'm glad to be of help."

Lian Yi humbly said.

"You're too modest. Could you tell me about this stretcher thing, and also your method for dealing with severe wounds"

Wu laughed and asked.

Of course.

Liàn Yī readily agreed, then picked up the important points and said them. Wū listened very carefully, and if there was anything she didn't understand, she would ask two more questions.

An hour later, Wu finally nodded in satisfaction and didn't bring up any more questions.

"Respectfully, the wound isn't draining white pus now. On our way back, he woke up a few times intermittently. Once he’s fully awake, it would be best if he could eat. Orcs have strong regenerative abilities, but without nourishment, their recovery will be much slower."

"I understand. Hao told me that it was all of you who contributed the black snake clan's serpent fruit along the way, and with your broth, Meng managed to last until he returned to the tribe. I'll take care of the rest. You can stay at the bear clan's territory for a while, and if you want to go anywhere, just let Hao take you." of being sued for defamation and slander by the other party.After leaving the interrogation room, he personally called Ripples using a satellite phone.Where are you"On the way back."Someone will come...
