Chapter 54: Valley of Longing
Shu Huan did not set out for the Lakeland Tribe immediately, but asked Yao Jia to go there first to count the number of people.
In order to help Yaojia establish his prestige, Shu Huan gave Yaojia 100 pills for the first course of treatment.
Yaojia took the medicine in the bamboo tube and listened to Shu Huan explaining things to him.
“Whoever helps you count the number of people, give him the opportunity to get treatment first.
If anyone goes against you, lock them up and allow them to eventually recover, and when they have fully recovered, pick out the best fighters to defeat them.
For those who can help you manage your tribe, don't be too quick to give them gifts. Wait until they have demonstrated their value before giving them gifts.
You should be the first to give medicine to those tribesmen who have high prestige, good character, kindness and integrity, and show your utmost respect for them.
As for the elderly, the weak, women and children, you can gather them together and have the prestigious tribesmen distribute the medicine.
You should not show up, but let your kindness flow from the mouths of the most prestigious tribesmen, so that they will remember that the tribe leader is only your subordinate, and you are their lord and their master. "
He had never thought about these things. Why did the little female know so much?
Yaojia hugged the little female gratefully and warned her with a strong possessiveness.
"Okay, I'll do as you say, but you have to promise me not to run around. If you don't obey, I'll come back and take you to compete with the sun to see who's higher."
Despicable guy! Shu Huan rolled his eyes silently.
Yaojia walked a few steps and turned back, went into Shu Huan's room and came out after a while, his ears were suspiciously red.
Hmm? Shu Huan was puzzled.
Yao Jia walked out of the door quickly without even looking at Shu Huan. Shui Su and his group, who were waiting outside the door, walked towards the Misty Lake.
Momo, "Congratulations to the host for completing the 72-grid shopping bag mission and filling the backpack with love."
What?
How did the five beastly husbands do it?
How come it was completed suddenly?
Shu Huan remembered that Yao Jia had been into his room before, so he walked in quickly and saw at a glance that the backpack on the table was bulging with things.
Shu Huan walked over, opened the backpack, and poured out everything inside with the mouth facing downwards.
Dried hibiscus flowers, amber wrapped with beetles, fossilized spores of Alsophila spinulosa, a hard black snout of a platypus, the fangs of a saber-toothed tiger, and even a blade of grass...
There were all kinds of strange things in there, and Shu Huan felt like he had fallen into a garbage dump.
"Just because of this garbage, my mission of 'filling my backpack with love' is complete?"
Momo, "This is not garbage. If you take these things back to your original world, you can sell them for a good price."
Shu Huan immediately perked up, "Then can I really take it back?"
Momo, "You should complete the favorability mission before asking me again."
Mu Heng peeked in from the door and saw Shu Huan looking at the things they stuffed into the backpack, so he spoke cautiously.
"Little female, what you said about filling the backpack with love, does it still count if you make a backpack for each of us?"
Shu Huan, "You all have storage bags, so why do you need backpacks?"
Mu Heng, "Like is what you do."
Shu Huan sneered, "Why, now that you can't get the pearl, you start playing the emotional card with me again?"
In fact, she shouldn't have said this for the sake of favorability, but she just couldn't control her mouth.
Mu Heng, "No, I really like you. I didn't lie to you."
"Oh……"
Shu Huan forced himself to say less useless things and asked Mu Heng.
"What made you think of putting these in your backpack?"
Hearing the coldness in the little female's tone, Mu Heng lowered his eyes sadly.
“We don’t know what love is, but when we see a beautiful flower and think you might like it, we pick it and put it in our backpack.
I saw that the stone was very beautiful and thought it might make you laugh, so I took it back and put it in my backpack.
Anyway, if we see anything that reminds us of you, we will take it back and put it in our backpack.
Regardless of whether this is love or not, we are happy to be able to put it in the backpack so that you can see it. I just don’t know if you like it or not. Do you think this is the love you want to be filled with?”
"I think you are addicted to lying to me, and you are pretending not to understand. Do you think I can forgive you for doing this? Humph..."
Momo, "Congratulations to the host for increasing your favorability by 20%. I am rewarded with the Charming Physique, the Sound of Nature, and the expansion of the map to the Blood River Plain."
If the five beastly husbands could deceive her with their words and actions, her favorability could not.
It is not realistic to explain the increase in favorability simply by the psychology of admiring the strong, so, do they really like me?
I looked at the favorability of the five beastly husbands.
Yaojia:95
Cold Cloud:92
Wu Zhuo:85
Ling Wangjin:47
Muheng:81
At this rate, she would be able to complete the task soon, so what else did she have to worry about?
Shu Huan turned and looked at the innocent boy Mu Heng. His clear eyes turned quietly, wanting to look at her but not daring to. It was a kind of innocence she had never experienced before.
Suddenly, the resentment in Shu Huan's heart suddenly dissipated.
Forget it, there's no need to be too serious about these strategy targets. That would just be making things difficult for yourself...
Just think of it as a chance for myself who had been alone in the original world for more than 20 years. No matter the result or whether it was true or not, I would enjoy the feeling of being loved. Shu Huan coaxed herself into submission.
"Come with me..."
Mu Heng plucked up the courage to step forward and hold Shu Huan's hand.
The little female's hands were as soft as boneless, but they made his heart beat like a drum. It was really strange.
Mu Heng took Shu Huan and ran outside, followed by Wu Zhuo and Han Yun.
They ran all the way out of the tribe, ran up the stone mountain, and standing on the top of the mountain, Mu Heng pointed to the valley below.
"Little female, look..."
In the deep valley where no sunlight can be seen, large patches of fire flowers are blooming, and clusters of them are shining red like burning flames.
Countless lonely ghosts are floating around the flaming flowers.
As if they sensed someone was watching them, the ghosts suddenly stopped moving and looked up at Shu Huan and Mu Heng on the top of the mountain.
Being watched by countless ghosts, Shu Huan suddenly heard screams one after another in his ears. The screams resounded in his mind, almost blowing his head off.
Shu Huan raised his hand painfully and pressed his swollen temples, as if his brain was going to explode in the next second.
Suddenly, the screams stopped, and Shu Huan couldn't help but howled towards the sky. The clouds in the sky swirled into a huge vortex along with the screams, spinning non-stop above the valley.
As he stopped howling, the discomfort in Shu Huan's head disappeared.
Sitting on the ground exhausted, feeling like his life was almost gone, Shu Huan swore that he would never be fooled by Mu Heng again.
"Isn't it fun?" Mu Heng asked Shu Huan, his tone like a child sharing toys with his friends.
Shu Huan rolled his eyes at Mu Heng.
Mu Heng didn't even look at Shu Huan, but pointed at one of the ghosts in the valley whose darkness was swept away by the whirlpool and whose appearance before death was temporarily revealed.
“That’s my father. He’s unwilling to be trapped in the Ghost Valley and can’t get out. When I miss him, I come here to see him.
Others call this place Ghost Valley, but I prefer to call it the Valley of Missing. It’s a pity that I have never seen my mother here. "
