Chapter 81. Cang Li sat under the tree...
Cang Li sat under the tree and waited to see who would come first.
A few minutes later, Cang Li saw Hua Xu and A Qi rushing towards him side by side.
The two were neck and neck, and almost simultaneously reached out and grabbed the flagpole, neither giving way, staring at each other and panting.
"I got it first!"
"I took it first!"
The two started arguing, then both looked at Cang Li:
"Great Chief! Tell me, who got it first?"
Cang Li: ...
She miscalculated. How could she have known that these two little ones were so capable and could arrive at the same time? This is going to be difficult.
As a fair and just leader, Cang Li came up with a terrible idea.
"How about you two tie?"
The two shouted at the same time, "No way! I have to make her apologize to me today!"
Cang Li: ...
Cang Li scratched his head: "Then you two should have a fight."
There was no other way; she did the same thing when Yu and Zhong were causing trouble before. If the judge couldn't make a decision, she would let the children settle it by fighting it out themselves.
Upon hearing this, Hua Xu and A Qi's eyes almost blazed with fire, and they both released the flags, assuming a fighting stance.
Nini and Amu, who were watching: ...
The two men came up and dragged Cang Li away, muttering to themselves:
"Chief! How can you raise children like this? You're letting them fight!"
Cang Li felt guilty: "Well, there's nothing wrong with that. Sometimes you don't know someone until you fight them. Maybe a fight will make them make up."
Amu: ...
Amu sighed. The chieftain is good in every way, except he loves to watch the excitement. No matter what the situation is, if he's caught in a dilemma, he'll just say: "Let's fight! A fight will solve everything."
Is this something that can be resolved by fighting? Actually, it can. When their tribes have conflicts, they simply arrange to meet in an open space for a fight, and the problem is resolved afterward.
Nini called over Siye and Jin, and the two mothers stepped forward, grabbed their children, and started beating them.
"What are you doing making a scene in front of the Great Chief?!"
Ah Qi and Hua Xu were driven away in front of their friends, and they cried especially loudly. How could they expect their little brother to obey them in the future! It was so embarrassing!
However, there was a silver lining: after being beaten up, the two felt a deep connection, sympathized with each other, and shook hands to make peace.
This also resolved the conflict among the children. Under the leadership of the two leaders, the half-human, half-witch children were finally integrated into the group.
Only Cangli is being lectured by Nini, Amu, and Siye, who believe that Cangli's methods for resolving the children's conflicts are too brutal.
Cang Li: "...Wouldn't it be even more brutal to just beat the child directly?"
Yotsuba: "Big Boss! Is this the important point?"
Cang Li shut up, humbly accepting the nagging of his clansmen, and decided to no longer concern himself with the conflicts between the little brats.
However, Hua Xu and A Qi came to visit Cang Li hand in hand the very next day.
Cang Li nodded in satisfaction, feeling that his method was quite effective. Children's "love and hate" can be quite inexplicable, but as long as they made up, that was the end of it.
Soon it started snowing, and the temperature dropped suddenly. People stayed indoors to avoid the cold, while only patrol teams, dressed in thick clothes, took turns guarding their homes.
Cang Li looked at the snow outside. She was immune to both heat and cold, and was playing in the snow at the entrance of the cave in the freezing cold, wearing only thin clothes. She enthusiastically built five small snowmen, then made one of herself. After thinking for a moment, she made a Nuwa next to her snowman. Not satisfied, she also made Taiqing.
After finishing, Cang Li looked at the eight snowmen with satisfaction. She planned to wait until the snow was thicker and the Wu Clan didn't come, then she would go to the Demon Clan to see Nuwa and Er.
The snow gradually covered the earth, and everything outside was a vast expanse of white. All colors were replaced by white. The snowflakes fell silently. Cang Li reached out and caught two snowflakes in his hand. His hair was blown into a mess by the cold wind.
Cang Li clapped his hands, turned around and went back to the cave, crawled into the warm quilt, and insisted on having the atmosphere of winter even if he wasn't afraid of the cold.
Sweet potatoes and chestnuts were thrown into the fire pit in the cave to roast, and they smelled delicious.
Cang Li went to sit by the fire pit and peeled chestnuts to eat; she loved them.
"Great Chief!"
An anxious voice came from outside, and Cang Li immediately dropped the chestnut and appeared outside the cave: "What's wrong?"
It was Jin who came in from outside. Jin said anxiously:
"Great Chief, it was Siye who sent me to call you. There are witches over there! I recognize them, a large group of witches, they've come to steal things. Siye and Nini Amu have already led people there."
Cang Li's face darkened. They really came. Cang Li said to Jin:
"Don't panic, I'll go check. You go and tell everyone to hide the food in the house and not let the children run around."
Jin nodded, about to say something, when Cang Li disappeared.
Cang Li had followed the scent to the outskirts of the human race. Si Ye, Nini Amu, and the other two led the human race behind them to confront a hundred or two witch race members on the other side. In terms of numbers, the human race clearly had the upper hand.
But when a powerful shaman appeared on the other side, these shamans were still determined to succeed.
Cang Li landed in front of Si Ye and the other two, looking at the Wu Clan about ten meters away.
The great shaman who came was almost two meters tall, with firm muscles. Even in such cold weather, he was only wearing a leather vest, with his arms exposed, showing no sign of the cold.
The Great Wizard looked at the angry-faced humans, sneered, and said loudly:
"Is this all there are of you humans? Not even enough to fill my teeth! I advise you to be sensible and bring out all the food! Maybe I'll be in a good mood and let you off the hook."
Upon hearing this, Yotsuba couldn't help but rush over, but was blocked by Cangli.
Cang Li looked behind Li and said, "Is it just you few?"
Li's expression became even more mocking: "Little humans, even if I didn't come, my men would be enough to deal with you."
Actually, it was because something happened to the Wu tribe. The chief of the Fan tribe under the ancestral witch Qiangliang, Da Wu Fan, and hundreds of his subordinate witches mysteriously disappeared without a trace. Da Wu Jian under the ancestral witch Shebishi also disappeared. The ancestral witch Qiangliang took this matter very seriously and sent people to investigate it thoroughly.
He belonged to the Tianwu Ancestral Witch, but was close to the Fan tribe, so he was sent to investigate.
After investigating for several months without finding anything, someone returned to report that the humans here had no shortage of food and drink. In a fit of anger, the Ancestral Witch Tianwu banished him to the human realm, ordering him to capture all the humans and take away all their food and resources.
Li led about two hundred skilled warriors from the tribe on a journey that took nearly a month to reach the human realm.
Unexpectedly, the human race was not as weak as he had imagined; they seemed to have some fighting power.
Cang Li squinted. This shaman was clearly impossible to communicate with. Cang Li raised his hand and ordered, "Try to capture him alive, but don't get hurt."
Yotsuba immediately rubbed her hands together, and led the people behind her to charge forward.
Li was momentarily stunned by the sudden change in the human race, but quickly recovered and immediately launched a counterattack.
It must be said that the Great Witch is indeed quite powerful; it took the combined attack of Four Leaves, Nini Amu, and the other two to hold their own.
The remaining five or six hundred humans went to resist the remaining witch tribe. The witch tribe was tall and strong, and the humans had a hard time dealing with them. However, fortunately, they had a large number of people, and Cang Li often trained these people. They were able to defeat the witch tribe and tie them up with thick hemp ropes like rice dumplings.
Enraged that all those he had brought had been captured, Li cried out, "Pangu above! Grant me power!"
Then his eyes turned red, his power surged, and he sent Nini Amu Yotsuba flying, who had just started to gain the upper hand.
Seeing this, Cang Li reached out and stopped the three of them. Seeing that they were not injured, she took out the Teaching Ruler. She had never tried this thing before and did not know if it would work on the Wu Clan who did not cultivate their primordial spirit.
The Ruler of Transformation moved with ease in Cang Li's hands. In an instant, Cang Li appeared in front of Li and struck the berserk witch on the forehead with the Ruler.
Li seemed frozen in place, his violent transformation gradually subsided, and his eyes began to clear and become confused, as if he didn't know what he was doing.
Cang Li looked into Li's eyes and said, "Now tie yourself up and think carefully about what it means to be unacceptable to use violence."
Li obediently walked over to the tribespeople who had been helped, took a rope, tied himself up, and stayed obediently with them.
Witch Clan: ...Chief! Something's wrong with you! Are you possessed?!
Cang Li touched the teaching ruler; it was quite useful. He would try it on Taiqing and the others when he went to Kunlun Mountain next time.
"Amu, take these people back, find some empty houses for them to stay in, assign people to guard them, give them a meal and a bowl of water every day, and don't let them escape."
Amu nodded, clutching his still-aching shoulder, and ordered his men to take the witches to an empty house on the outskirts of the human territory and lock them up.
The Wu Clan arrived, but they were all captured. The news couldn't get back to the Wu Clan in a short time, so the Wu Clan probably wouldn't send anyone else for the time being. Cang Li decided to take this opportunity to go and see Er.
"Nini, Clover, I'm going out for a bit."
Nini: "Great Chief, where are you going?"
Cang Li looked at the night sky and said, "I'll take advantage of this free time to go see how Mother Goddess is doing. Don't worry, I'll be back soon, and I won't be gone for as long as before."
Nini nodded slowly: "Great Chief, then be careful on your journey."
Cang Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, the Wu Clan shouldn't send anyone else during this period, but you must not let your guard down."
Nini and Clover immediately assured, "Great Boss! Don't worry!"
Cang Li then rode away on a cloud. Since he had made up his mind, he shouldn't dawdle and should return as soon as possible.
Having been there once, Cang Li was quite familiar with the place, and when he arrived at the Demon Court, he prepared to properly enter through the main gate.
The demon soldiers guarding the gate had seen Cang Li before and recognized him. Upon seeing Cang Li approach, they said:
"Is Lord Cang Li here to see the Sage?"
Cang Li nodded: "Yeah, is my mom home?"
The demon soldier laughed and said, "Here, the sage doesn't go out often, so please go by yourself, sir."
They made way for Cang Li, not because the demon soldiers were careless, but because the aura of humans was different from that of other races. Cang Li didn't disguise himself and came over openly.
Cang Li thanked him and headed straight for the Nuwa Palace.
Nuwa was currently sitting in the main hall of the Nuwa Palace, her tail sticking out, eating fruit out of boredom.
As soon as Cang Li entered, he saw a thick snake tail sweeping around inside. Cang Li remained silent for a moment, then carefully dodged the tail and went in, calling out:
"mom!"
The swaying snake tail stopped abruptly and vanished in the next second, followed by a strong embrace of Cang Li:
"Baby! I've missed you so much! Come here and let Mommy see how thin you've gotten."
Cang Li buried his face in Nuwa's chest, then struggled to push Nuwa away, revealing his face:
"Mommy, Mommy, please stop! Let go, let go! I can't breathe!"
