The shaman nodded, "The tribesmen are still waiting for me in the square. Since Chunhua is fine, we'll head over now."
The shaman nodded, "Patriarch, please go ahead."
Yi Yi, who came out afterward, seemed preoccupied. "Mother, what do you think the thing that emitted the strong light in the tent was?"
The shaman shook her head, "Tomorrow, I'll ask Shuxin to come to my cave. We'll know then."
"Mmm, I didn't expect Shuxin to actually know medicine." Yi Yi's expression didn't reveal her true thoughts.
A mother knows her daughter best. The shaman knew her daughter's feelings for Leite. She had thought... alas!
"Everything is fine here. Let's go to the square for the tribal meeting."
"Okay, Mother." Yi Yi followed the shaman away.
Aqiang stayed by Chunhua and the child's side, not leaving them. He even forgot to see off the shaman. Fortunately, the shaman's thoughts weren't on him, otherwise, she would have been unhappy.
Chunhua looked at her newborn child with a smile, her maternal love overflowing.
"Aqiang, look how cute our little female is."
Aqiang's eyes were full of the child. "Mmm, very cute!"
Chunhua then said, "You must properly thank Leite's female. If it weren't for her, you might not have seen us."
Aqiang nodded. "Don't worry, Chunhua, I will!"
After discussing this, it was time for the family of three's warm moments.
...
The news of Shuxin successfully assisting Chunhua with childbirth had spread throughout the tribe. The tribesmen were amazed and then excited. This meant that the mortality rate for females giving birth would be greatly reduced in the future.
Some females with active minds were already thinking about how to build a good relationship with Shuxin. Although there was the shaman, the shaman was always someone to be revered.
However, most people remained half-believing, half-doubting. After all, Shuxin had only been in the tribe for a short time and couldn't be fully trusted.
Yet, the person being discussed had no intention of assisting with future tribal births. She had merely observed a birth process to practice her needle-pricking skills, preparing for her sister.
Upon returning to the cave, Shuxin was already tired. Cleaned fish-skin sheets and skirts were drying in the yard.
Leite took her backpack down and placed it in a more hidden spot in the cave, planning to have a good chat with his female tonight.
Shuxin took off her shoes and sat cross-legged on the bed, smiling at him. "Ask whatever you want to ask."
Leite stood opposite her but found himself unsure where to begin.
"Xin'er, what was that strong light you emitted in the tent?"
Shuxin said, "It's the tablet I showed you before. It can provide light. I'll show you if you get it."
"..." Leite went to get it.
Shuxin took the tablet, unlocked it, and tapped on the lighting function. The cave instantly became bright and clear. Leite was astonished!
He asked curiously, "How does it do that? It can actually emit light!"
Shuxin smiled faintly, "Not only can it emit light, but it can also take photos. Want to try?"
"Mmm? How do I try?"
She beckoned him over. "Come here."
Leite obediently leaned closer. Shuxin tapped somewhere on the board, and the screen suddenly turned black. Then, she tapped again, and he saw himself!
The beastman in the tablet's pupils widened. Shuxin mischievously tapped the photo button, and with a click, the beastman's bewildered face was captured.
Leite was now terrified, pointing at the tablet. "It, it, it froze me!"
"Heh heh, this is taking photos. It can capture your appearance and save it. When you're old, you can still see yourself in your youth." Shuxin explained patiently.
"This is too amazing!" Leite's mouth remained agape in astonishment!
"Xin'er, take more photos of me!"
Shuxin took a few more pictures for him and even taught him how to use it. Leite was delighted and ran around taking pictures everywhere. After playing for a while, he remembered the main topic.
Closing the tablet, Leite asked seriously, "Xin'er, you're not from the Beastman Continent, are you?"
Shuxin nodded generously, "Yes, I'm not from here."
Seeing her admit it, Leite became confused. "Then Yueyue isn't either?"
She shook her head, "No, Yueyue is from this world. We were separated by accident when we were young, and now we've reunited."
"..." Leite was even more confused. What did this mean?!
Shuxin didn't explain much. "That's not important. What's important is that I'm here now. Leite, I've told you my most important secrets. Do you have anything to hide from me?"
"Ah?... No, nothing." Leite's expression was momentarily unnatural and guilty.
His expression did not escape Shuxin, who had been watching him closely.
Shuxin looked at him with a half-smile. "I'm in a good mood today. If you've lied to me about anything, tell me now, and I can overlook it. But if you deceive me about anything after today, don't blame me for finding another male to live with."
"No! You dare find another male and see!" Leite panicked!
"So, have you lied to me?" She waited for his answer.
Looking into the female's bright eyes, the beastman stammered, "Xin'er, you must believe that I truly love you. To be with you, I lied to you about a small matter. Can you forgive me?"
Shuxin thought to herself, as expected. She knew this beastman wasn't honest and dared to lie to her!
"What did you lie about? If it's not serious, I'll forgive you." She said dismissively.
"..."
For safety, Leite moved a bit farther away from her, partly to prevent being slapped, and partly to prevent the female from escaping.
"Mmm... You must not be angry. Actually, actually... we haven't successfully formed a bond yet." After saying this, he immediately and cautiously looked at her expression.
Shuxin calmly asked, "Is there anything else?"
Leite shook his head like a rattle drum. "No, no, just this one thing. Xin'er, I was afraid of losing you, so I told a small lie..."
"So you conspired with your father and the shaman to deceive me?"
When Xin'er asked, she had a smile on her face, but Leite felt a chill down his spine. He moved closer and actively admitted his mistake. "Xin'er, I was wrong. Please forgive me, okay?"
Shuxin chuckled, "Okay, I forgive you."
"..." So easily?
Leite seemed unable to believe she forgave him so readily and didn't know what to say for a moment. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Then the female said, "It's okay, I forgive you. Since we haven't formed a bond, I'll apply for a cave tomorrow with the patriarch, or a beast-skin tent will do. It's not appropriate for males and females who haven't formed a bond to live together."
When Leite heard this, he realized she had been waiting for him here!
"No, you can't go anywhere!"
Shuxin sneered, "Leite, I'm not your mate. Where I go or who I live with is my freedom!"
Leite knew it would be like this. He should have listened to Went. Xin'er was much harder to appease than Shuyue!
"I don't allow it!"
