I Became The Chief of A Primitive Village

As twilight fell, the colourful primitive forest was enveloped by the vibrant sunset, slowly darkening.

*Rustle rustle…*

In a dense forest, two figures were moving swiftly, but without making much noise from their footsteps. Only the slight sound of leaves rustling could be heard, as they tried their best to conceal the sound of their rapid movement.

The two people traversing the dense forest were Ye Jiu and Bai Si. They had been travelling from the Flame Dragon Tribe for several days now.

Ye Jiu looked up at the setting sun in the sky and said, “Ah Si, let’s take a break. It’s starting to get dark.”

Bai Si stopped and nodded, “Alright, we wouldn’t be able to see the path if we continued anyway.”

Bai Si had short, neat brown hair and brown eyes. Instead of human ears, she had monkey ears on both sides. Her face was round and cute, with delicate features, making it hard to imagine she was a Totem Warrior.

“Go find something to eat. I’ll start a fire here.” Ye Jiu calmly instructed.

“Okay, what would Boss like to eat?” Bai Si tucked her short hair behind her ears.

Ye Jiu, seeing the monkey eared girl constantly swinging her monkey tail, covered her face and said, “Just pick whatever you see, but don’t go too far. It will get dark soon.”

The monkey eared girl had the personality of a young girl. She was only fifteen years old, and was particularly fond of sticking close to the her. She would follow the Ye Jiu closely no matter what, naturally learning many hunting and combat skills from her. Currently, Bai Si had learned most of the silent movement needed for ambushes, as well as the courage and calmness required for hunting.

“Alright, I’ll be back soon, Boss.” Bai Si swung her monkey tail and ran off.

Ye Jiu watched the monkey eared girl’s retreating figure, shook her head, and muttered to herself, “Just like a child.”

She lowered her head and began collecting dry firewood and stones, scanning her surroundings constantly, always alert.

A few minutes later, a fire pit surrounded by stones appeared on the ground, filled with dry firewood in the centre.

*Crack!* The wolf-eared woman took out a flint and began to light the campfire, striking it five or six times before successfully igniting it.

*Crackle crackle…* The wood burned with a crackling sound, and when it was burning vigorously, sparks flew out here and there.

Ye Jiu’s cold face was illuminated orange-red by the firelight. She muttered to herself, “Ah Si has been gone for too long.”

*Whoosh!* A stone flew towards Ye Jiu from behind.

Ye Jiu reacted instantly, turning to dodge the stone. She remained calm throughout, not even standing up, just continuing to watch the fire pit in front of her.

*Whoosh!* Another stone flew towards Ye Jiu, and Ye Jiu calmly dodged it again.

She used a stick to poke at the firewood in the pit and coldly questioned, “Aren’t you done playing?”

From behind a large tree, a dark figure slowly emerged, with a long tail.

“How boring, Boss. How did you guess it was me right away?” Bai Si pouted.

The dark figure slowly became clearer, first revealing a protruding nose tip. Soon, the entire face of the monkey eared girl was revealed.

“You do this every time.” Ye Jiu coldly said.

Bai Si put the wild chicken she had caught and the berries she had picked on the ground, her lips pursed, “Boss always guesses it’s me.”

“I raised you myself. How could I not know you?” Ye Jiu coldly smiled.

“But… but what if it was not me that time? Wouldn’t Boss have been in danger?” Bai Si argued.

“I can tell whether it’s an enemy or not,” Ye Jiu said, skewering the wild chicken on a stick.

“But, you should… you should be a bit more serious.” Bai Si had been enjoying playing this game for the past few days. She still acted like a child, and was naturally mischievous. However, it was this innocent personality that earned Ye Jiu’s trust. Naturally, that meant Ye Jiu allowing Bai Si some space to be playful.

Ye Jiu briefly prepared the wild chicken and began roasting it by the campfire. She picked up a berry, wiped it on her Animal Hide, took a bite and said, “You should learn to conceal your presence.”

Bai Si immediately smelled her arm, then cupped her short hair and smelled it.

She tilted her head, sniffing, “There’s no smell. Boss, you have the same smell.”

Having lived in the same Tribe for a long time, they had gradually become accustomed to their own scent. Bai Si naturally did not notice anything unusual about it.

“It’s not that smell, it’s something else,” Ye Jiu threw the berry seed into the fire and the campfire instantly made a sizzling sound, with the flames dancing irregularly.

“Then what smell is it?” Bai Si propped herself up with one hand, leaned close to Ye Jiu’s head and sniffed, then pursed her lips, “Hmm… I don’t really understand.”

Ye Jiu flicked the monkey eared girl’s forehead with her index finger and said, “You’ll understand this gradually.”

Bai Si covered her forehead with both hands, grumbling, “That hurts, Boss. Just tell me, what smell do I have?”

“Hurry up and eat.” Ye Jiu handed over a chicken leg.

Bai Si seemed as though her curiosity had been doused with cold water. She took the chicken leg and began to reluctantly gnaw on it.

“If you’re not eating, give it back,” Ye Jiu coldly reached out to snatch the chicken leg from the monkey eared girl’s hand.

“Eat! Of course I’m eating.” Bai Si unhesitatingly stuffed the chicken leg into her mouth.

Ye Jiu opened her Animal Hide Bag and took a sip of water, saying, “We’ll reach the vicinity of the Black Snake Tribe by tomorrow morning. You need to be on high alert.”

At the mention of the Black Snake Tribe, Bai Si immediately became serious and responded, “Yes, Boss.”

“Get a good night’s sleep tonight. I’ll keep watch for the first half of the night. You’ll take over for the second half,” Ye Jiu stood up and began walking towards a large tree. She planned to keep watch from this large tree tonight, as a higher vantage point would allow her to see farther.

“Alright!” Bai Si continued gnawing on the meat.
