Chen Changli's face turned pale for a moment.

A fishy smell hit her in the face, and Wan Shufang's face looked unhappy, but looking at the sincere eyes of the child, she could not refuse. She simply waved her hand in front of her, moved her mind, and collected all the dead fish and frogs into the space.

The people in the cave only felt a flash before their eyes, and when they looked again, the wooden plate in Wan Shufang's hand was empty. She was clapping her hands with a satisfied smile on her face.

The leading native opened his eyes wide, suddenly fell to his knees, and yelled a few words to the others.

In an instant, all the natives knelt down and kowtowed to Wan Shufang. Although they couldn't understand what was being said, even a fool could see the fanatical worship they showed.

Chen Changli's eyelids twitched as he watched. When Wan Shufang came closer, he whispered, "That's too risky of you."

"It's better than actually eating a frog," Wan Shufang replied confidently. "Besides, doesn't this just fit in with their gods' imagination?"

Sure enough, when the natives stood up, they looked at Wan Shufang with more awe, and even looked at Chen Changli with a little more scrutiny.

The leader muttered a few words to the people next to him, glancing at Chen Changli from time to time, frowning and shaking his head, as if he was disgusted with something.

"They're talking about you."

Wan Shufang keenly caught those unfriendly glances and couldn't help but chuckle, "It seems... not very satisfied with you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, several natives suddenly came in with a dozen young men. All of those men were shirtless, with well-defined muscles and simplified totems painted on their faces. They stood in a row with their heads lowered, as if waiting to be selected.

The leading native walked up to Wan Shufang, pointed at the row of men, then pointed at Chen Changli, shook his head, and then made a gesture of selection.

"What does this mean?" Chen Changli showed confusion. He only heard the natives chattering excitedly, pointing at him and shaking their heads, and making a heart shape with their hands to a dozen strong men.

He even ran over to pull Wan Shufang, took her hand, and let her touch the muscles of those men.

Seeing this, Chen Changli's face darkened. He quickly pulled Wan Shufang back and protected her behind him. His face was as black as the bottom of a pot: "What are you going to do?"

Seeing that he was getting angry and even stopping them from choosing a new husband for the god, the natives laughed even more happily. The chief patted Chen Changli on the shoulder and handed him a skewer of roasted lizards.

"Wow." He pointed to his mouth, indicating Chen Changli to eat the roasted lizard.

It seems like she is comforting the ugly husband, telling him not to panic and that he can still have the baby if he takes care of it.

Seeing how adorable these natives were, Wan Shufang covered her lips, trying to hold back her laughter until she trembled: "Chen Changli, you're even despised by primitive people. You really should practice more."

"Shufang." Chen Changli called out resentfully, frowning and looking at her pitifully. Seeing his aggrieved expression, Wan Shufang immediately surrendered.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore."

Wan Shufang suppressed her smile, walked out from behind Chen Changli, shook her head at the clan leader, and said in a gentle voice: "No, I don't want to choose a new husband."

Afraid that the natives wouldn't understand, Wan Shufang even acted out her speech, pointing at the sturdy men and then at the door, signaling that they could leave.

The natives understood Wan Shufang's meaning and were disappointed. They glared at Chen Changli fiercely, as if to say that you are not worthy of our Lord God at all.

"You guys!" Chen Changli was so angry that Wan Shufang was so frightened that she quickly stopped him: "Alright, alright, don't argue with them. These people are stupid and ignorant."

Her comfort did not make Chen Changli feel much better, but considering that he was in a foreign place and did not want to cause more trouble, Chen Changli endured it.

At Wan Shufang's signal, the natives finally left their house in a mighty procession, giving the two some time alone.

After everyone left, Wan Shufang sighed deeply: "Now it seems that we have really come to a primitive tribe. I don't know if we can go back."

"We will definitely be able to go back."

Chen Changli spoke immediately. He really didn't want to stay here and listen to the natives choosing a new husband for his beloved. Wan Shufang knew his little thoughts very well, but still couldn't help but burst his fantasy.

"Changli, have you forgotten that I wasn't a member of the Great Yong Dynasty? So whether I can go back is really unknown."

"But at least we are together. The most important thing is to survive. As for going back, we can only figure it out slowly."

Hearing this, Chen Changli pursed his lips and fell silent. He knew that Wan Shufang was telling the truth, which made him feel even more aggrieved.

into the night.

The two of them slept on the straw bed, feeling very uncomfortable. They tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep. Until the next morning, both of them appeared with big dark circles under their eyes.

The tribesmen also brought them raw fish and some earthworms to fill their stomachs.

"Wow." The tribesman pointed at the raw fish and touched his stomach. Chen Changli and Wan Shufang looked at the bloody food, their stomachs churning. They felt very uncomfortable and wanted to vomit, and could not eat it at all.

But at this moment, their stomachs began to growl again. They looked at each other with sadness in their eyes: "Shufang, we won't have to eat raw food for the rest of our lives, will we?"

Hearing this, Wan Shufang couldn't help but think of the future when she would eat with her mouth full of blood, and she shook her head violently.

"No, I must improve the food."

As she spoke, Wan Shufang took the fish and threw them into the space in the same way. Then she pulled Chen Changli out. The two of them came to the beach. Wan Shufang threw a branch to Chen Changli and taught him how to dig clams.

"Changli, learn from me. When you find something delicious, I'll give you a snack tonight."

"Okay." Chen Changli nodded obediently. Seeing Wan Shufang picked up a branch and started digging in the sand, he followed suit. Soon, Wan Shufang dug up clams.

She picked up the clams and handed them to Chen Changli: "Chen Changli, look, these are clams. Just dig them according to this. When you have dug enough, we will start the fire to cook."

After she finished speaking, she continued to dig. Chen Changli stared at the clams for a long time before he started to move. He was strong and fast, and it didn't take long before he dug a lot of clams.

Looking at the plump and fresh clam meat, Wan Shufang couldn't help drooling.

"That's great! I finally don't have to go hungry tonight. I was so worried."

With a smile on her face, she took out the iron pot from the space, excitedly lit a fire and cooked. She put in the clams, prawns and crabs she had dug, and cooked a big pot of seafood soup, the aroma of which spread for miles.

Such an attractive aroma not only aroused the appetite of Chen Changli and Wan Shufang, but also attracted the natives.

Everyone gathered around the smell, looking at the tender white clam meat, their Adam's apples rolling and their saliva watering with greed: "Wow?"

Seeing the natives' faces full of anticipation and yearning, Wan Shufang was very generous and scooped a bowl of meat and handed it to the tribe leader: "Tribe leader, please try it and see if it tastes good."

She pointed to her mouth, and the old man immediately understood. He hesitated, picked up the bowl and took a sip. The next moment, his eyes suddenly lit up and he threw the raw frog in his hand away on the spot.
