"Then you can wait patiently!"

Niu Dian couldn't describe his feelings.

He was indeed different from other beastmen when it came to Qiao Yaoyao, but having cultivated divinity since childhood, he certainly shouldn't have any inappropriate thoughts about her!

But looking at Bai Sichen's smug expression, he felt a discomfort in his throat, as if there was a feather stuck in it!

Bai Sichen looked at the man in front of him, who was looking down at him.

She scoffed inwardly, but maintained a calm and unhurried demeanor, even displaying a hint of sweetness.

"Thank you for your concern, senior brother. I will. It is my duty to stay with Yao Yao."

"Ah."

Niu Dian coughed out a syllable.

Ignoring Bai Sichen, he stepped forward, transformed into his beast form, and flew away.

"Huh?" Bai Sichen watched Niu Dian's departing figure, twitched the corner of his mouth, smiled, closed his eyes, and continued to use his divine power to listen to the sounds inside the room.

He had secretly investigated all of the more influential people in the tribe beforehand.

In the past, Niu Dian had never shown such hostility towards a female beast husband.

As men, we all know the reason behind it, but we won't say it out loud.

but...

Bai Sichen opened his eyes, looked in the direction of the room, and a wisp of divine power entered the black spot in his palm.

Isn't this a ready-made body?

Inside the house, the old witch doctor, whose body was already being targeted, was searching through a shelf of scrolls.

Qiao Yaoyao didn't know what he was looking for and wanted to help, but the old witch doctor refused.

So I picked up a few scrolls from the ground and started reading.

After reading a few volumes, she silently raised her head and looked at the old witch doctor who was still searching.

This world is even more terrifying than her old makeshift team!

What kind of garbage is this?!

Who are the hidden estranged couples in the tribe?

Who is the greatest orc in the Central Plains?

The inextricable love-hate relationship between the XX tribe and the Qingcao tribe?

That's it?! A scroll that only the tribe's top shaman can read?

Does this thing have even the slightest practical value? Why would anyone use such a precious scroll?

You should know that papermaking doesn't exist here yet. These cloth-like scrolls are something that wizards can only create after they've crafted artifacts.

Qiao Yaoyao was powerless; she would read one book and then toss it aside.

She thought it was some kind of secret medicine manual, or at the very least some kind of secret recipe.

But seeing how old this thing was, Qiao Yaoyao held back her complaints and quickly flipped through it.

It might be of some use!

"Found them! Qiao Yaoyao, come and look at these scrolls." The old witch doctor finally found a few very old scrolls among a pile of scrolls.

As for why I say that...

This is because, based on Qiao Yaoyao's reading, the ancient gossip inside the scrolls can roughly confirm the approximate time of each different colored scroll.

It might be related to each wizard's preferences.

The current wizard prefers gold, while the previous wizard would have preferred green.

As for the items the old witch doctor brought over, they were different from those Qiao Yaoyao had looked through before; they were clearly older.

Qiao Yaoyao carefully took it and opened it.

Then, his previously indifferent eyes became serious.

These... are stories about beast gods and ancient times.

Looking at Qiao Yaoyao's expression, the old witch doctor smiled and stroked his beard, "You silly girl, take your time reading. Apart from this book, Niu Dian has never read any of them."

After you have seen them, you can decide what to do with these scrolls.

Actually, it's not that I'm trying to fight for the position of the first witch doctor for Niu Dian.

But you, girl, will you be able to honestly write down these secrets that no one else knows from now on?

"Let's teach that kid Niu Dian. You're destined for great things, girl!"

He pulled out a scroll and casually laid it out in front of Qiao Yaoyao.

Qiao Yaoyao looked up and saw this scroll with many leaves inside.

She quickly glanced through it, "Born with superhuman strength?"

"Hmm." The old witch doctor nodded. "Back then, I suspected that the divine power in you was not coming from somewhere, so I made this deduction."

Qiao Yaoyao glanced at the back of the scroll, "A sacrifice?"

So the old man and Niu Dian were so enthusiastic towards her at first because they were waiting to fatten her up and feed her to the Beast God?

She rubbed her cheeks, feeling inexplicably annoyed.

If it weren't for fate playing tricks on her, and her gradual rise from a humble beginning to a higher position, wouldn't she have been at the mercy of others?

"What's with that expression, girl!" The old witch doctor tossed his beard aside. "Before, Niu Dian and I had absolutely no affection for you."

"If it weren't for the Beast God's sake, I'd rather take a pig as my apprentice than accept you!"

"???" Qiao Yaoyao clenched her hands, which were behind her back and were secretly transmitting divine power to the old man.

You old geezer! I suggest you speak properly!

"What are you staring at me for! I used to think your life didn't matter, but that kid Niu Dian never thought that way."

He thought he was pretending well, but little did he know, I had seen through his intentions long ago!

Later, after getting to know you, put everything else aside, you saved me and Niu Dian multiple times. Do you think I'm the kind of old man who doesn't appreciate kindness?

Qiao Yaoyao thought of Niu Dian, loosened her clenched fist, and continued to channel some divine power into him.

Regardless of how Niu Dian treated her, she knew it in her heart.

"Alright, if you don't believe me, you can test that stubborn brat when you hand over the scroll to Niu Dian later."

"This old man can't stay with you any longer. As for the following, it's what I told you before. Whether you show it to Niu Dian or not is up to you."

The old witch doctor sighed softly. Perhaps no one in this world can truly face their own life and death with complete indifference.

Qiao Yaoyao has already opened the other few.

After reading the above, she frowned and looked at the old witch doctor, "Do these witch doctors know about this?"

The old witch doctor picked up the animal hide and wiped the dust off the other scrolls on the ground. "They're pretty much the same, but our system of recording things is different from that of the wizards. We don't have a lineage; we rely entirely on hands-on instruction and written teaching. So you've already solved the most difficult part."

"The wizard played a significant role in enabling Niu Dian to inherit my divine power. His strength has greatly increased, and he will be your best helper in the future."

Qiao Yaoyao turned her gaze away from the old man.

The old man's eyes only light up when indigo is mentioned; he doesn't care about anything else.

This is normal. The relationship between Niu Dian and him appears to be that of master and disciple, but it is closer than the father-son relationship among many orcs.

After all, orcs primarily use stress to educate male cubs.

While the old man was tidying up the group of gossipers on the ground, she stuffed a few scrolls into her backpack.

We'll take it to the wizard later, as for the indigo...

The old witch doctor actually knew a lot about indigo, otherwise he wouldn't have kept asking her whether she wanted to burn it after she finished reading it.

Niu Dianren was a good person, and she believed that he might not sacrifice her to the Beast God later.

But this must be a difficult choice for Niu Dian.
