Leisurely Farm Life in Beast World

"Clan Leader, have you mentioned this to the leader of Gray Bear Tribe yet?" the shaman of the Dashi Tribe asked as he walked into Shi Jie’s cave.

Shi Jie nodded: "I didn’t tell him. I just asked him about his opinion on the Watson Tribe."

With a look of frustration, the shaman glared at Shi Jie: "I told you not to tell him first. We should talk to Shaman Ji Nuan first, and then tell them. That way, we will be the first tribe in Eneru Forest to join the Watson Tribe."

Shi Jie furrowed his eyebrows: "Uncle Shaman, I think we can totally tell the Gray Bear Tribe about this. If they share our intention, we can go and talk to Shaman Ji Nuan together. Isn’t that a good idea?"

The shaman gave Shi Jie a look and stood up: "If you feel like telling, just go for it. Our two tribes have been cooperating for many years and we’ve always had good relations. If they are not willing to join the Watson Tribe after we ask them, we’ll just go on our own."

With the shaman’s support, Shi Jie felt his desire to share his idea with the Gray Bear Tribe burning like a fiery flame.

He fidgeted on his beast-skin pad for a good while, almost wearing out the pad before finally gritting his teeth and standing up, ready to visit the Gray Bear Tribe’s tent.

"Shi Jie, I’m back," a thundering voice echoed as the figure of the Gray Bear Tribe’s leader appeared at the entrance of the tent.

Shi Jie walked up to him, curious: "Why did you come back? Weren’t you going to rest?"

The Gray Bear Tribe leader walked up to Shi Jie, closely inspecting him from top to bottom with a strange look before pulling him onto the beast-skin pad. He then grabbed another pad from the opposite side and placed it next to Shi Jie, sitting down.

He looked slyly at Shi Jie and asked, "Mo Peisi said you plan to lead the Dashi Tribe to join the Watson Tribe. Is it true?"

(Mo Peisi: Uncle, you really are amazing! Are you just trying to screw over your own tribe’s orcs? Couldn’t you say it was your own idea?)

Shi Jie twitched the corner of his mouth and silently shed sympathetic tears for Mo Peisi having such an uncle.

Thinking about his conversation with the shaman today, he nodded, "Yes, Shaman Ji Nuan will come of age this winter. There’s bound to be a coming-of-age ceremony, and at that time, the shaman and I will personally go to the Watson Tribe to propose this."

He then looked at the Gray Bear Tribe’s leader next to him: "The shaman and I said, if your tribe shares our thoughts, we can do this together."

The Gray Bear Tribe’s leader gave Shi Jie a wistful look: "Are you planning to abandon us, the Gray Bear Tribe and fly solo?"

Shi Jie rolled his eyes, could not stand the grown orc being so coy. He pushed him away and rubbed his goosebumps: "Stop grossing me out. Speak properly. If I planned to go solo, why would I bring you along? I wouldn’t even tell you. By the time you realize it, I would be living in a beautiful and comfy house, eating delicious food."

Just thinking about it made him delighted.

The Gray Bear Tribe’s leader couldn’t stand his smug look, so he poured cold water on Shi Jie’s excitement: "Whether or not the Watson Tribe will even accept you is still up in the air. Look at you already daydreaming, why don’t you just ascend to heaven?"

Shi Jie wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and asked: "So, is your Gray Bear Tribe joining or not?"
