She pried his hands off, straightened her straw clothes, and calmly said what she had already prepared.
"Actually, you saved me five years ago."
He narrowed his eyes, intrigued. "Continue."
She spoke candidly, saying, "It's in the western part of Shanxi, near the Tiger Clan. Back then, I was just a little snake, and you saved me. So after I was driven out of my clan, I always thought about finding you. Unfortunately, I heard that the Owl Clan was destroyed. I followed the news and came here, where I found you. I have nowhere to go now, so I'll work with you to revitalize the Eagle Clan."
Xia Yixin knew that the male supporting character Xiao in the original work was suspicious and arrogant by nature, and that she had to gain his trust first if she wanted to walk with him in the future.
"Don't worry, I won't eat for nothing. I'm a witch doctor, I can cure diseases, and I'm physically strong enough not to hold you back." For the sake of the mission, she had no choice but to shamelessly act cute, looking at him with her round cat eyes.
Sure enough, I soon heard the system notification tone.
"Ding! Male supporting character's happiness level has increased by 10, currently at -190! Host, please keep up the good work!"
What she said was actually half true and half false. The original owner was indeed unintentionally saved by Xiao six years ago, but the original owner herself didn't pay attention to it.
Xiao looked at the little female who was less than half his height. He didn't remember her saying that she had saved him, but he believed her. Besides, he thought, what could a little female possibly do?
When Xiao realized what was happening, he found that he had actually put his hand on the top of her head. It was soft, and it felt nice.
He rubbed her hands a few times, a satisfied smile playing on his lips amidst her accusations. "I promised you you could join my tribe, and I'll keep my word. Don't listen to that stinky wolf. I swear in the name of the Owl Clan that as long as you prove you're a true witch doctor, you'll enjoy the highest status in my tribe, second only to me."
"Hehe." Xia Yixin gave a fake smile. This guy was indeed not easy to deal with.
She slapped away his increasingly aggressive claws and asked, "When you were fighting with him before, what question did you ask Han that distracted him?"
Xiao smiled and said, "I'll tell you when you become a qualified shaman of the Eagle Clan."
"..." She always felt that there was something wrong with his smile.
Da Hua returned quickly, and Xiao and she were also preparing to leave. Before that, Xiao had enjoyed a treatment that Han hadn't.
To gain his trust, Xia Yixin took him to the cliff where the Phoenix Perches on the Wutong Flower again. That day, she discovered that there were still many flower buds that had not yet bloomed.
Sure enough, several mid-level beasts gathered nearby, waiting for the flowers to bloom just like the others, but they were all dealt with by the big flower.
Although there is only one level difference between the intermediate and advanced levels, their strengths are vastly different. Xia Yixin appropriately demonstrated her strength, which was no less than that of an intermediate-level beast spirit. Although this was weak to Xiao, Xiao no longer dared to underestimate her.
After a fierce battle, four or five wild beasts lay dead on the ground. To avoid attracting other wild beasts, they threw the corpses far away after the fight.
After doing all this, it was getting dark.
Xia Yixin was very careful, but the other person and beast were filthy, especially Xiao, who still had the saliva of the Shadowless Flower on his body, and Xia Yixin glanced at him with disgust several times.
Even Xiao, with his thick skin, couldn't hold back any longer. He went to take a bath in the nearby river with Da Hua, and Xia Yixin also found another place to wash up.
She returned early, and soon after, she heard footsteps behind her. The male beast spirit had already recovered.
Without Han as a "comparison," she actually found that Xiao's physique was quite good, with just the right muscle definition, paired with his European-looking face, exuding a domineering aura amidst his wicked charm.
Big Flower, having finished washing, returned, its scales clean. It threw a freshly killed cow on the ground and hissed.
"Hiss (My little Xin, I want to eat barbecue!)" Da Hua's mouth has been spoiled by Xia Yixin, and she refuses to swallow raw meat.
Xia Yixin looked at the three- or four-meter-tall black bull with a black line on her face. "You can eat it, but you two can cut the meat for me first. I'll go prepare the ingredients."
"Hiss (Okay!)" The giant python was overjoyed, while the owl was half-believing and half-doubting.
In this continent, the only duty of females is to give birth. Males take care of all the work, including hunting, making fire, and cooking. Only in tribes where the males are particularly weak do the females cook.
But then I thought, it's not surprising that this little female knows how to grill meat in the wild.
As the leader of the Owl Clan, he had eaten a lot of roasted meat, even the rarest and most delicate cuts. He had also witnessed the so-called "divine food" of Lin, that evil tribe, so he wasn't very interested in the roasted meat made by a ten-year-old.
But he still did his duty and worked together with the giant black bull and the giant python to clean it up.
A campfire was lit.
He watched as she brought back a bunch of strange plant seeds and roots, kneaded the chopped beef for a long time, and even made him pound it for a long time.
Xiao found it increasingly strange.
They don't usually eat beef because it's too firm, and he didn't understand what was so special about this little guy.
Until the barbecue was placed on the grill and had been cooking for a while, Xiao smelled an aroma that he found incredible.
The beef, the size of a human head, was already very soft after being pounded. Moreover, on her way to wash up, Xia Yixin had also found a large patch of wild-grown garlic, a small amount of chili peppers, and ginger, all of which she had packed into her storage ring. She had only gone out to conceal the storage ring, as these were magical tools for removing fishy smells and enhancing freshness.
A clean branch lies between two Y-shaped branches.
As she flipped the beef according to the flames and doneness, the skin began to crisp up, and the fat inside oozed out, sizzling and emitting a fragrant aroma as it fell onto the embers!
Beastmen can go for days without eating. Even after being poisoned, Owl did not eat, but he did not feel hungry.
But now, like a giant python, his deep blue eyes are fixed on the enormous meat skewers, his mouth watering.
Glug glug...
His stomach growled loudly in protest, and although Xiao maintained a calm expression, the slight redness at the tips of his ears betrayed his embarrassment.
Just when Xiao couldn't take it anymore, he saw Xia Yixin use her delicate white hands to cut a large piece of meat with the bone knife he had given her earlier, skewer it, and present it to him.
"Eat it while it's hot, otherwise it won't taste good. Medium-rare is best."
He accepted it with slight surprise. In their tribe, although females were the weaker sex, they had the highest right to eat, and it was usually the male beast spirits who cooked.
Of course, Xiao was an exception; he was the clan leader.
But the little female immediately gave him the roasted meat.
Although it's true that he killed the prey.
But does that mean this little female is trying to please him? Absolutely! She is trying to please him, and perhaps, she even likes him!
