I Became The Chief of A Primitive Village

Su Bai watched the retreating figures and instructed, “Chieftain, Hei Ya, stop them. Don’t let a single one of them escape.”

“Yes!” Yan Jiao and the others immediately responded.

*Thump thump thump…* Yan Jiao and his group rushed forward, taking three steps in one move. They easily intercepted Ye Jiu and her men. Even so, one of them still tried to run but was knocked down with a punch.

After about ten minutes of commotion, Ye Jiu and her group were all tied up with vines and thrown to form a row in front of Su Bai.

Su Bai stood with his hands behind his back, carefully examining them as he asked, “Which Tribe are you from?”

Ye Jiu blinked her grey eyes, staring directly at Su Bai as she spoke, “We’re from several Tribes, but… but we’re all Wanderers now.”

Su Bai had his eyebrows raised, [She is quite pretty.]

He came back to his senses and asked, “So, you few decided to steal us of our dried meat?”

Shou Ya shivered, not daring to raise his head, and mumbled, “We had no choice.”

“You actually have a Mid-Stage Totem Warrior…” Ye Jiu glanced at Yan Jiao and continued, “Without him, you wouldn’t be a match for us at all.”

“That’s right, you only have five Totem Warriors, we have seven, and our Boss can easily take on three at once. We could have successfully stolen the dried meat if not for you…” Shan Xiong sullenly shouted.

“Still so arrogant, huh?” Yan Jiao gave Shan Xiong a knock on the head.

Su Bai looked Ye Jiu up and down, thinking to himself, [This woman is actually so strong? If she is willing to join our Tribe, it might not be a bad deal for us.]

He came back to his senses and solemnly asked, “Your Tribe has beens destroyed, and now you’re either looking for a Tribe to join, or planning to kidnap a Shaman to return with, right?”

Ye Jiu’s grey pupils narrowed slightly as she nodded, “Yes, that’s our plan.”

“If that’s the case, why did you come to steal our dried meat? We don’t exactly have a Shaman here for you to steal.” Su Bai deliberately said.

Yan Jiao, Yan Hua, and the others looked confused, but they quickly realised that they were not in the Tribe now and could not expose the Shaman’s identity.

“We have over two hundred people waiting to eat, young and old. Before finding a Tribe, the first priority is to fill their stomachs,” Ye Jiu stressed with a heavy heart.

Su Bai was secretly delighted. [Two hundred people! What a labour force! They can be the foundation for expanding the Tribe!]

He adjusted his emotions and asked, “You’re saying you have over two hundred people? How many more Totem Warriors do you have?”

“They’re all here, just seven of us,” Ye Jiu turned her head towards those around her.

Su Bai blinked his black eyes and solemnly asked, “Then, do you want to join our Tribe?”

He had thought through it clearly. This time, because of the Spotted Deer Market, they had exchanged for quite a lot of dried meat. It was enough to feed the people in the Tribe with some to spare. Furthermore, it was entirely possible to accommodate two hundred more people with the next exchange being in eight days. That was when they could get a lot more dried meat.

Yan Jiao was the first to widen his eyes in shock, “Su, Su Bai, ar-are you serious?”

“Let them join our Tribe?” Yan Hua was equally surprised.

Su Bai waved his hand to calm them down, saying, “Don’t get too excited, I have my own plans.”

Ye Jiu frowned and asked, confused, “Let us join your Tribe? What Tribe are you? You’re not joking, right?”

“Exactly! We have so many people with us. You say join and we should take your word for it? Your Tribe’s Shaman and Chieftain will never agree to it,” Shou Ya agreed.

“That’s right, they won’t agree.” Yan Jiao immediately chimed in.

Su Bai rolled his eyes at this extra and stated, “As long as you’re willing, the Flame Dragon Tribe won’t refuse you.”

Ye Jiu nodded without hesitation, solemnly swearing, “As long as what you say is true, we’re willing to join your Flame Dragon Tribe.”

“Good, we’ll set out early tomorrow morning. If I find you harbouring any ill intentions during this time, I can’t guarantee your head will remain on your neck,” Su Bai laid out the harsh truth upfront.

“Don’t worry, we’ll definitely behave,” Ye Jiu looked down at the vines on her body and said, “But before that, we need to go back first to bring them over.”

“Are they far from here?” Su Bai asked.

Ye Jiu thought for a moment and shook her head, “Not very far, less than half a day’s walk.”

“No rush. Just let two people go back to protect them. It’s not good for so many people to travel late at night. Let them come over when it’s close to dawn,” Su Bai arranged.

“Understood.” A hint of a smile began to appear on Ye Jiu’s cold face.

“Yan Jiao, untie two of them and let them go back,” Su Bai instructed.

“This is too risky. What if they bring back more Totem Warriors?” Yan Jiao worried.

“If they bring more people, we might not be able to handle it,” Mai Mang agreed.

Ye Jiu blinked her grey eyes and coldly swore, “I never lie. Seven means seven.”

“You say seven, but how can we trust you?” Mai Mang retorted.

Ye Jiu did not speak again, her expression unchanged, still cold and aloof.

“Anyway, we still have the rest of them here. They won’t do anything rash so just let two of them go,” Su Bai instructed.

“Yes,” Yan Jiao said reluctantly. He walked to two Totem Warriors who looked very weak and untied their vines.

Ye Jiu looked at those two Totem Warriors and said, “Protect them well tonight. When it’s almost dawn, bring them over.”

“What if they’re unwilling?” One Totem Warrior worriedly asked.

“Just tell them there’s a Tribe willing to take us in. At this point, I believe none of them would refuse,” Ye Jiu said word by word.

“Yes, Boss.” That Totem Warrior nodded.

Ye Jiu pursed her lips and added, “Oh, and tell them we’re already waiting for them. Don’t mention that we’re tied up.”

“Understood.” The two Totem Warriors nodded and turned to disappear into the night.
