Chapter 26 Demonstration of Fire Making
"The Beast God also taught me how to make fire."
After Shu Ning finished speaking, she secretly observed their expressions.
The orcs present had various expressions; some were puzzled, some were shocked, and some couldn't understand what she was saying.
A flash of anger crossed Xuan Lin's cold eyes, and he frowned.
That fat female, she doesn't even know when to lie!
They really are incorrigible!
Xiao Chong lowered his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips. He knew she wasn't lying, and that she had personally taught him how to start a fire.
"Ningning, what kind of fire are you talking about?" Shu Yanzhao asked.
"It's something that can emit light and heat."
After she finished speaking, some of the clever orcs present had already guessed what she was talking about and expressed their shock, wondering if this thing could be born so easily.
Some of them didn't understand what she was saying.
Some were whispering and discussing among themselves.
"Could you show me?" The high priest was skeptical of her statement.
"It is possible, but it requires tools."
"Shu Ning, if you don't know how, you don't know how. Don't make excuses about finding some tools. We won't blame you," Mu Yu said magnanimously.
Shu Ning rolled her eyes slightly, her expression speechless.
"Oh? What tool?" the high priest continued to ask.
"Please wait here for me."
"I'll help you." Xiao Chong's deep, magnetic voice came to her ear.
"Mmm." Shu Ning nodded.
"Xiao Chong has gone out to prepare materials. Please wait a moment."
Xuan Lin saw how intimate the two of them were. Hadn't she just said nothing to him? How did he know what to prepare?
Thinking about this made him even more agitated.
Why does he, the number one beast husband, seem like an outsider?
"Shu Ning, tell me what the beast god in your dream was like?"
Shu Ning looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young male with gray hair. He was extremely handsome, on par with her beast husbands. He was well-mannered and spoke politely, and his expression was friendly. He didn't seem like someone who wanted to cause her trouble.
This person should be Mu Chen, the son of Mu Xia and her second beast husband. He is older than her and can be considered her older brother.
"The Beast God... He is neither male nor female, with a kind and approachable personality, yet with a dignified appearance," Shu Ning said, pretending to recall.
"Oh? Besides medicine and fire, what else did he teach you?" Mu Chen continued to ask.
"That's all for now. The Beast God said to teach these first, and we can teach the rest later."
The beastmen couldn't sit still when they heard that the Beast God would teach her something in the future.
Some believed her and were certain that there was a Beast God; some were jealous of why she had gained the Beast God's favor; some worried that she might learn something from the Beast God but not teach it to them; and some still doubted the truthfulness of what she said.
Xueyin and Renn didn't doubt her words at all, and their respect for her grew even more.
Mu Xia and Shu Yanzhao were quite surprised, but they are currently maintaining a neutral stance.
At this moment, Xiao Chong came in, walked to her side, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "The materials are ready."
Shu Ning felt his warm breath on her ear, and her face involuntarily flushed.
He then said to everyone, "The materials are ready. If you want to see a fire started, follow me."
"Mother, Father, please come with me."
Stepping out of the cave, she looked at the materials Xiao Chong had prepared, including the wooden sticks he had even whittled for her. She couldn't help but admire his thoughtfulness.
We're just waiting for that final step.
He then looked up at Xiao Chong's seemingly cold and handsome face, his eyes devoid of any expression.
But his actions still warmed her heart.
“Look, everyone.” She squatted down and held up a sharpened wooden stick.
"Sharpen the thin wooden stick, then place it on this and spin it quickly."
Everyone watched her demonstration with great curiosity.
Some held their breath nervously, some covered their eyes with anticipation and fear, peeking through a crack, and others didn't believe her and waited to see her make a fool of herself.
It was already afternoon, the hottest time of the day.
Shu Ning succeeded easily.
Smoke slowly rose from the friction point.
Everyone was surprised and focused, not daring to make a sound.
Mu Xia was worried that the fire might burst out and hurt her.
Suddenly, flames burst from the firewood, instantly igniting the twigs.
Upon seeing this, everyone was shocked. Some were startled, while others shouted and jumped up excitedly.
Everyone present looked excited.
"What?! This is actually true! She can actually start a fire!?"
"Yes, I really didn't expect her to succeed!"
"As expected of the Holy Mother's daughter, she is truly the chosen one!"
"This is truly amazing, so breathtaking!"
...
Mu Xia and Shu Yanzhao looked at Shu Ning with excitement and pride in their daughter's performance.
Xueyin and Ryan were also very excited. Although they believed she would succeed, they were still worried for her.
Mu Yu was incredulous and refused to believe it was true until finally she exclaimed, "That's interesting."
Mu Chen was also shocked, and then gave Shu Ning an approving look.
The other elders were shocked and felt that this was a divine gift, and that Shu Ning was the messenger of the gods.
Xuan Lin was also unsettled at this moment. His eyes showed surprise as he looked at the fat female squatting in front of him in disbelief.
I noticed that she had actually lost weight again, and I could vaguely see her waistline again.
Looking at her smile, it seemed quite infectious. Her skin was delicate, and sweat streamed down her face through her hair. Her fair and rosy complexion looked rather beautiful under the sun.
Then, Shu Ning stood up and said.
"When you get back, you can start a fire like I did, but please be extremely careful. You must be careful to prevent fires. Do not start fires in areas with lots of trees or grass, and do not start fires near debris. Otherwise, it is easy to cause a fire. Once a fire starts, it will be very difficult to put out, and it may even burn down the entire forest and threaten lives. Please remember this!"
After hearing Shu Ning's words, everyone nodded in agreement.
The older orcs had also witnessed the scene of the forest being burned to the ground and expressed their approval.
Then, Shu Ning walked over to the witch doctor.
“Witch doctor, this herb needs to be boiled in a container with water for an hour.”
The witch doctor was surprised by this practice, but nodded nonetheless.
After the presentation, Shu Ning remembered that she had other things to do, so she said goodbye to Mu Xia and Shu Yanzhao and left.
Some of the others hadn't left yet, studying and observing the fire, while others went back to try starting a fire themselves.
Xuan Lin watched Shu Ning leave, his cold eyes filled with a dark and complex expression, as if he were thinking about something.
Xiao Chong had to leave early because he also had other things to do.
Outside Yiyuan Cave—
"Yiyuan, Yiyuan!"
Shu Ning called out breathlessly, she had been so busy that she had forgotten to use teleportation.
Not hearing a reply or seeing anyone come out, Shu Ning went inside and called out.
"Yiyuan, are you there?"
I searched everywhere but couldn't find anyone. Could something have really happened to them?
It feels like I haven't seen him for several days.
He was sitting on his bed, deep in thought.
Suddenly a tall figure appeared at the cave entrance, but she couldn't see it clearly.
I thought to myself, "This must be Yi Yuan!"
Then he excitedly shouted, "Yiyuan!?"
