they looked at her simultaneously."I am a ripple, not a cloud. Even though I've played the role of a cloud for so long, I'm still not her. You can verify my DNA; this is something that can't be faked...Sam has been out of the village these past few days, on patrol. He doesn't know that the tribe has already figured out how to store meat for a long time, and new ways of making food are both more delicious and last longer.

So when Sang took Yan Jia to see the chief and told him about the method she had figured out for storing meat, the chief's eyes looked at the two of them unkindly.

Until Yan Jia's throat was dry, she didn't get a response from the chief. The two then realized something was wrong.

After the Chief and the others had stopped speaking, he said in a calm voice:

"All the females in your clan know these methods."

This is impossible!

Yan Jia blurted out, but was met with the chieftain's meaningfully deep gaze.

"I mean, would every family in each clan have it But I asked Sang before, and he said there wasn't a way to preserve meat like this, so after we discussed it, we decided to offer it to the clan."

Yan Jia immediately remedied it.

The chieftain wasn't a fool. He scoffed inwardly. Before he had spoken, the meaning behind those two's words hadn't been to share these long-lasting food preservation methods with the tribe at all.

Besides these methods you mentioned, there are some other unorthodox ways. These methods were taught to the beast tribes by messengers of the Beast God as they traveled among the various clans.

When the Lion Clan's shaman communicated with shamans from other beast clans, they generously shared methods of storing meat, how to make fruit sauce, and some flavorful seasonings that could enhance dishes. Some of these ingredients were found in our territory, while others required trading with other clans.

The chieftain said in a calm voice.

Song listened, filled only with regret. If they had only come two days earlier...

While Yan Jia is cautious, she suspects there might be other travelers like her. This is something she cannot tolerate, for only she should be the exception in this world.

The two of them left the chief's cave with heavy hearts. Sang said a few words to Yan Jia before parting ways, intending to inquire among the tribe members, while Yan Jia felt lost. She didn't have many close female friends and had no one to turn to for information.

When Deng Sang circled the tribe, he returned to the cave and saw Yan Jia waiting anxiously for him.

"San, how did the listening go"

"The chief was right. Since the females learned, they’ve been gathering in the square lately. First, they process the meat kept communally by the tribe, and only after that do they handle their own harvest. Haven't you been to the square these past two days"

Yan Jia was stunned for a moment, her face flashed with a trace of embarrassment, and she lowered her head with some grievance and said:

"I've been doing what you said these past couple of days, dealing with food in the cave. Besides that, they were already excluding me, you know that, so why would you ask me to do anything"

"This isn't your fault, but starting tomorrow, you should still help out at the square. After all, this is a collective effort. Our tribe stores food and at the end of winter, we distribute it among everyone to get through the hardest month."

Sang still reminded them in a friendly tone.

"I understand, I will be there on time at the square tomorrow to help."

Jan Jia immediately said, and then asked:

"Sang, do you know any more about the Beast God Envoy Is it female or male Which tribe is it from What are they good at"

“I heard from Rong that the Beast God Envoy is female. She has three followers. I don't know which tribe they are from, but they are probably good at finding new food. Many beast tribes she has passed through have acquired new food or new cooking methods.”

Sang shared the results of her investigation.

"I also want to see other tribes, maybe I can find new food there."

Then Yan Jia blurted out, "I think that Beast God Summoner must be a time traveler."

"Jiajia, you've discovered that both potatoes and sweet potatoes are already quite good. Besides, winter is coming soon. Leaving the tribe now would be like courting death. Don't you know how terrifying winter can be"

Sang frowned.

Yan Jia immediately realized that she had been too hasty. Her small frame couldn't withstand the winter storms, even if she wanted to leave the tribe, she would have to wait until next spring.

"Jiajia, don't think too much. We still have to prepare for the coming-of-age ceremony! I was thinking of using your method of preserving meat to get the tribe to host a ceremony for us, but now it seems we'll have to do it ourselves."

Sang was actually a little disappointed. Something that was supposed to be a sure thing just slipped away.

Yan Jia still values Sang very much. If she wanted to leave the tribe and travel outside, it would be almost impossible without the companionship of a beastman. However, she didn't want to form a bond so soon. Another traveler had three followers by their side; how could she possibly be worse off than that

But these were just thoughts she had in her heart, and she wouldn't be foolish enough to say them directly to Sang. She had a whole winter season to find a suitable excuse to delay the bonding ceremony. At this time, she was only obediently nodding her head and even laid the groundwork for her future refusal.

"I understand. This time it was me who didn't handle the relationship with the other females well. I'll be more careful in the future. I don't know how much food we'll have left after winter, and I don't want you to work too hard."

Yan Jia's eyes were red and swollen, she looked pitifully at Sang.

Sang immediately softened and pulled the other person into her arms, soothingly saying:

"This isn't your fault, you weren't raised in the tribe after all. It takes time to blend in, and you've already done well."

Don't worry, I'll prepare well for the agreement. Just wait at ease and be my partner.

Yan Jia felt that she wasn't comforted at all, instead, she felt even more troubled. Only when Sang left her place did her face finally fall.

“This group of stupid barbarians, they actually want to isolate me! It’s a waste that I helped them find food!”

She didn't reflect at all on her condescending attitude. Orcs don't beat around the bush, but that doesn't mean they are stupid. They have the sharp instincts of their beastly nature and sensed that Yan Jia didn't like interacting with them, so they naturally wouldn't approach her again.

Yán Jiā was annoyed that she missed the opportunity to become famous, but she didn't think about the fact that when she first arrived in the Beast World Continent, she almost became a beast's food. After being rescued, she didn't dare to leave the Lion Tribe again.

At this time, the ripples in a line, wearing a raincoat, had already arrived at the seaside. A drizzle was falling, and the entire sea became even more azure, making people feel refreshed and delighted. The air also carried a faint salty tang of seawater.

The little団子 nestled in the ripples, only revealing a small head and looking around curiously. Its tiny nose kept sniffing non-stop.

In just two months, Tuanzi has grown to half a meter long. Because he is well-fed and Lian Yi helps him groom his body, he grows very well. Meng and Du both say that Tuanzi's bones are good, and he will definitely grow into an excellent Beastman in the future.

"Excuse me, are you a messenger of the beast god"

A pleasant sound came.

Three people looked towards the sea surface, and just then a female mermaid emerged from the water, curiously gazing at the ripple line.eady sent his ghost servants to investigate those two places, but they hadn't returned with any news yet. Looking at the broken ghost tokens, the man's mood was extremely agitated.On the other side, M...
