Chapter 37 Grassland Tribes

It's actually a ginseng?

It was exactly the same as the picture Grandpa He showed her.

Yuanyuan curiously took it in her hand to examine it. She couldn't tell the age, but she knew that the ginseng root was thick and strong, the rhizome was long, the rhizome bowl was dense and deep, and the color was darker than the one Grandpa He had given her.

It's just that many of the roots are broken.

It must have been broken by the little snake while it was playing.

Wait, a little snake digging for ginseng?

Is that correct?

Before she could figure it out, the system in her mind spoke up: "Yuanbao, would you sell this ginseng for a million?"

"..."

"Can you tell me how old this ginseng is?"

It's so expensive, it must be from a good vintage.

One hundred and twenty years.

Yuanyuan's mouth dropped open. A hundred-year-old ginseng!!!

Isn't this the century-old ginseng that Grandpa was talking about, worth a fortune?

"I'm sorry, I can't sell this."

1.5 million

"..."

"I want to save it for my mom."

The system fell silent.

"I'll give you one for free next time I dig one up; this one is for Mom."

The system was very good to her; without it, she would have died.

【good! 】

………

"Uncle Feng, let's go!"

Yuanyuan put the ginseng into her spatial storage and patted Feng on the back.

The fan flapped its wings and flew into the air.

Yuanyuan was protected in the middle by the two people and the rabbit, so she didn't have to worry about being blown away.

Reach out and take the little snake down.

Pat its little head, "Little snake, you're amazing! You actually managed to find ginseng."

"Hiss~" The little snake proudly raised its head.

"Can you tell me how you dug it?"

The wind blew her hair wildly, and the stray hairs on her forehead were blown to stick to her face, making her shrink back because of the itch.

"Hiss~" I won't tell you.

"..."

Yuanyuan didn't force her. Everyone has their own secrets, and small animals are no exception.

Little White lay beside her, its rabbit ears sticking to its fluffy head in the wind, and gave the little snake a disgruntled look.

Yuanyuan looked down and saw that it looked exceptionally tall without the trees blocking the view.

This time, Uncle Feng was much faster than before, and she was a little unaccustomed to it.

"Yuanyuan, are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm a little dizzy from the height, Uncle Feng is flying way too fast!"

"Don't be afraid! Feng is the most stable flyer in the tribe."

She wasn't scared, she was just a little dizzy.

Hearing her words, the wind slowed its flight.

...

They arrived at the grassland tribe near dusk.

The wind carried them directly to the tribal square.

Yuanyuan's legs were a little weak, so Huya carried her down with one hand. They had barely landed when several orcs came running over.

Cang Ling, who was in the lead, didn't even glance at her own son, her eyes fixed intently on Yuan Yuan.

Before he could speak, several females rushed up to him, each with a smile on their face.

An aunt with rabbit ears reached out and gently patted Yuanyuan's head, her voice filled with undisguised affection, "This is the little envoy? She's so pretty!"

"Little envoy, I am Tu Yi. Welcome to our tribe."

Another female with cat ears held two wild fruits and stuffed them into Yuanyuan's hands, saying, "Little envoy, try them quickly, these fruits are very sweet."

Our tribe hasn't seen a cub for many years.

Xiao Bai: "..." So he's not a cub?

He was not even seven years old.

"you do not say!"

A female with tiger ears came over and gently pinched Yuanyuan's little cheek. "Little envoy is so cute. Come inside with us, Auntie will grill some meat for you!"

The females chatted amongst themselves, surrounding Yuanyuan and showering her with such enthusiasm that she felt a little embarrassed.

The beastmen could only watch from the sidelines, filled with envy; they too loved the sweet and soft little cubs.

The leader, standing to the side, couldn't find a chance to interject. "Alright, alright, don't frighten the little envoy. Let her go inside and rest!"

Yuanyuan was pulled by the females towards the wooden house, her hands almost bursting with wild fruit.

The aunties here are so welcoming.

"Please sit down, please sit down!"

Aunt Rabbit Ears pulled her to sit on the animal skin cushion, then turned around and brought over a large piece of roasted, golden-brown meat, its skin crispy and fragrant, still steaming hot.

"This is the meat of a steppe antelope, it's very tender, little envoy, eat slowly."

Yuanyuan took the wooden plate, the aroma of meat filling her nostrils. She thanked them and ate a few bites.

It tastes really good, but it's a bit salty.

The female rabbit-eared woman noticed she wasn't eating and leaned closer, asking softly, "Why aren't you eating? Is it not to your liking?"

"No, no," Yuanyuan quickly shook her head, her big eyes darting around, "I just... I want to drink some water."

"Hey, Auntie's got it for you!"

The female rabbit-eared woman immediately stood up and brought over a wooden bowl. "This was specially cooked, so drink it without worry."

"Thanks."

Xiao Bai hopped onto the mat and sat down next to Yuan Yuan. "If you don't like it, you can ask them to bake it again for you."

Huya stood at the door of the wooden house, his back to the door, and occasionally glanced back at Yuanyuan. Only when he saw her being surrounded and fed by the females did he feel relieved.

The leader walked in. "Little envoy, this is the room we have prepared for you. Do you see if there is anything else you need to add?"

Yuanyuan put down her bowl, looked up and smiled at the chief: "Thank you, Uncle Chief."

"Just tell Xiaobai if you need anything."

"Okay, I understand."

The females chatted with her for a while, asking her where she came from and what she liked to eat.

The leader told Yuanyuan to rest, and they reluctantly left, stuffing several bags of dried wild fruit into her arms before they left.

The cabin quieted down, and Little White lay beside her, its ears drooping, half asleep.

Occasionally, the sounds of orcs talking could be heard outside, mingling with the scent of grass and drifting into the wooden house.

She turned her head to look at Xiaobai. The little guy's rabbit ears trembled gently with his purring, and there were still some oil droplets from the barbecue on the tip of his nose. She couldn't help but reach out and wipe them off for him.

The little snake's head peeked out from the small animal skin bag she was carrying, curiously looking around.

Yuanyuan was worried that it would frighten the other people in the tribe, so she put it in a leather bag. Fortunately, the little snake was obedient and stayed put.

...

Meanwhile, Leopard Jiu emerged from the Black Lion Tribe carrying a wolf cub and headed towards the Rock Wolf Tribe.

The little wolf didn't like being carried, so it whimpered and twisted its limbs.

"Don't move, or I'll throw you on the ground."

Leopard put it down and warned it in a low voice.

If it weren't for Yuanyuan's little pet, he would have wanted to teach it a lesson.

Seeing that the little wolf had calmed down, it carried him away and continued running.

As I was running, a gust of wind swept past overhead.

They circled back a short while later, and an eagle-orc landed in front of them.

With a flap of its grayish-brown wings, it stirred up the withered grass covering the ground.

"Leopard Jiu of the Black Tiger Tribe?"

Leopard stopped abruptly, his eyes narrowing warily. The wolf cub in his mouth yelped from the impact, its tiny paws gripping him tightly.

"Who are you?"

“I am Yu from the grassland tribe. I’m here to inform you that you don’t need to go to the rock wolf tribe anymore. The little envoy is in our tribe.”

Leopard Jiu didn't believe him. Yuanyuan told him to go to the Rock Wolf Tribe to find her, so how could he possibly go to the Grassland Tribe?

They definitely wanted to trick him into taking the wolf cub to their tribe, hoping to get Yuanyuan to come along.
