Chapter 232

QT Second Female Lead’s Counter Attack: Ch 232 Beast Era (9.13)

After preaching like a philosopher, XunMi felt refreshed. Her words left the female lead staring blankly ahead.Finally, the female lead looked back at her with gratitude. “Is that right? I…” Could she really not go back?
But thinking about, what would she even go back to do. If this really was destiny, then why shouldn’t she stay here and began a new path?
“Can I follow you?” Gu Li asked, her eyes sparkling while looking up at XunMi.
XunMi was dumbfounded. She hadn’t even started her plot to abduct and entice her into an apprenticeship. Instead, the female lead was jumping into her plate by herself.
Her answer was of course ‘yes’. What a caring little girl. She didn’t even need to waste additional energy to think about how to convince her.
“Of course.” XunMi smiled and nodded. Keeping the female lead close and teaching her in person was her ideal situation. She turned. “Uncle Yan Luo, can she stay with me?”
Yan Luo nodded. He had nothing against it.
Only Yuan He was left unsatisfied. He didn’t feel as if it was a good thing for there to be so many people around Mi. Was this female purposely trying to steal Mi from him? No, he needed to have Mu Yan quickly take this female away. There can only be himself standing next to Mi. Everyone else better retreat.
“That’s right, Uncle Yan Luo. I wanted to teach a class in the tribe. Uh, I mean, I wanted to teach how to write. Also a class on herbal medicine knowledge.” XunMi spoke about her plans. She hoped that they would learn some fundamental knowledge first so that later they will be able to think independently and make decisions.
Yan Luo and Tyre’s eyes glistened. Writing? That’s something only the priest knew! Now XunMi was saying that she’ll teach them all.
“Good, good. XunMi, on behalf of the tribesmen, I thank you. If you need anything, let me know.” Even the upcoming rain season couldn’t damper everyone’s good spirits.
XunMi mentioned her approximate need resources. First, she needed to build a large tent that could be used to teach lessons in. As to how she wanted this tent to built, XunMi stayed silent. When Yan Luo asked, XunMi only smiled and said, “I hope you can invent a method yourself.”
Although everyone else present didn’t quite understand either, they didn’t press for further details. However, Gu Li was suddenly deep in thought before exclaiming, “XunMi, are you hoping that they won’t rely too much on others? Is that why you aren’t willing to directly let them know those skills?” Her voice wasn’t extremely loud but enough people heard. Immediately, they were swept with another wave of respect and admiration for XunMi.
That’s right. If they are too dependent on the angel and the angel one day left, what would they do? What would their heirs do?
XunMi was very impressed with the female lead’s Godly persuasive skills. Therefore, in the ensuing few days, XunMi gave the female lead extraordinary treatment. Within four days, she was back on her feet. Immediately, the female lead joined XunMi’s mission of spreading wisdom. She had majored in agriculture in college so she was like a fish in water after arriving in the beast era.
But Gu Li was also conscious of XunMi’s words. She never directly told them how to do things. Like XunMi, she allowed the beastmen to slowly discover and learn.
But the results were still obvious. Within a month, there were already about five square shacks built that could accommodate around a hundred people each. They were relatively stable, despite not up to the standards of being resilient to heavy wind and rain.
XunMi and Gu Li were satisfied with these results and impressed with the beastmen’s labor and determination. When XunMi casually described the concept of an oil lamp, a skillful beast man immediately created a prototype. The model had been pretty much dispersed to every cave dwelling. These kinds of examples happened continuously, helping create a unique culture of inventions.
Sitting inside the newly built shack, XunMi leaned back onto the bamboo chair that Yuan He had made for her. She leisurely munched on berries.
The weather was already becoming colder, meaning the Rain Season was coming. In the continuous three months of rain, they wouldn’t be able to go out to hunt. Therefore, they needed to prepare food in advance.
Gu Li had spoken with XunMi about this issue numerous times, asking whether they should help them. XunMi responded by shaking her head. It wasn’t that she had no sympathy. Rather, these were the set rules.
It actually wouldn’t be hard to overcome the rain season. XunMi had already gave them a direction to brainstorm ideas and hinted at what they needed. Everything else was up to them.
BaoBao, the most obvious of XunMi’s hints, was currently snoring away atop of his Madam Host’s shoulder. Since the first day that this white ball of fur appeared, BaoBao had received everyone’s attention. When asked, XunMi just said he was her little pet that she was raising. She didn’t think she was overestimating the beast men’s IQ. She believed that they would eventually think to raise and breed livestock.
“XunMi, are you really going to mate with the young chief leader next year?” Gu Li pulled up a little stool to sit in front of XunMi, her eyes bright with curiosity. She knew that the young chief leader was good to XunMi. To be honest, she was almost jealous of her.
XunMi spared a glance to Gu Li before lazily replying, “And what about you? That Mu Yan is about to be hearbroken.”
“Ai, don’t do that. We’re talking about you here, humph.” Gu Li shook her legs as her face reddened.
“Tsktsktsk, our Gu Li is embarrassed. Don’t be, this was bound to happen sooner or later. Unless, you’re saying you don’t like Mu Yan? That you like someone else?” XunMi mischievously added while sneaking a peak at the silhouette standing near the opening.
“What? No. Gu Li, you said before that you like me!” As expected, the man outside immediately strided in, urgently asking for an explanation.
Gu Li jumped upon hearing the sudden voice. Seeing XunMi’s glee, Gu Li understood what just happened.
“Alright, XunMi you dare bully me! You’re horrible!” She pretended to be angry and pouted her lips, looking very much like a little hamster.
Mu Yan wanted to say something but was immediately stopped by Gu Li’s little expression.
Every time XunMi saw their interaction, she wanted to laugh. It was a struggle everytime to hold in her cackle. The Mu Yan now did not resemble her first impression of Mu Yan.
