Yan Hua poked the fox eared girl’s waist with her small hand, whispering, “Xiao Yu, take a quick look at the Shaman.”
“Hmm?” Yu Ying looked over, seeing Su Bai holding a piece of animal bone, grinning silently.
She moved closer to the cow horned girl, asking worriedly, “Sister Ah’Hua, what’s wrong with the Shaman?”
“Maybe he solved some difficult problem, that’s why he’s so happy?” Yan Hua said, tilting her head in thought.
“Is that so?” Yu Ying frowned. [Shouldn’t one laugh out loud when happy?]
“Why don’t you go and ask?” Yan Hua suggested, pursing her lips.
“No, let’s not. It might disturb the Shaman,” Yu Ying hesitated, shaking her head. If she could not be of help, it was better not to interfere with the Shaman. It was best for her to just quietly wait for instructions.
“You won’t be disturbing him. It’s very late now, you should remind the Shaman to rest,” Yan Hua pointed at the Teepee door flap, saying, “Everyone’s already asleep. Don’t let the Shaman get too tired.”
“Alright, fine,” Yu Ying listened attentively. Indeed, there was no noise outside.
She was a bit worried about the Shaman’s health. Yesterday, he had been busy until very late before sleeping. Today, he had been busy all day, and now he was staying up late again.
“Go on, quickly,” Yan Hua urged.
“En,” Yu Ying stood up, biting her lip, and walked to the stone table. She opened and closed her mouth, unsure of what to say. [As the Shaman Priestess, would it be too presumptuous to ask the Shaman to rest? Would the Shaman get angry with me?]
Su Bai put down the Shaman Bone Tablet, looking at the conflicted fox eared girl before him. He gently asked, “Xiao Yu, what’s wrong?”
Yu Ying blurted out nervously, “Shaman, do you want to sleep together?”
“Huh?” Su Bai was stunned, doubting if he had heard her correctly.
Yan Hua covered her face helplessly, inwardly complaining, [This fool! She will definitely be bullied in the future! She can’t even correctly string a simple sentence!]
“No, that’s not it. I meant to ask if you want to sleep with us?” Yu Ying’s face turned red, realising she had misspoken again. She waved her hands as she said, “Ah, I said it wrongly again. I mean, I mean to ask if you would want to sleep…”
“It’s alright, I understand,” Su Bai said with a warm smile, comforting the fox eared girl who was about to cry.
“…” Yu Ying lowered her head shyly, but her fox ears were standing straight up, as if replacing her eyes.
*Haaaaaaa~~* Yan Hua sighed helplessly, standing up and striding over to the fox eared girl’s side. She spoke up to break the awkward moment, “Shaman, Xiao Yu saw that you’ve been busy all day and wants you to sleep early.”
“Alright, let’s rest early then,” Su Bai indeed felt a bit tired. Making Shaman Bone Tablets was indeed mentally exhausting.
Yan Hua noticed the Shaman Bone Tablet on the stone table, her red eyes brightening up as she hesitantly asked, “Shaman, is this a Shaman Bone Tablet?”
“Yes, it’s a Shaman Bone Tablet. I just tried making one,” Su Bai said while stretching.
“Huh?” Yan Hua’s eyes widened in shock as she asked, “Shaman, you’ve already made a Shaman Bone Tablet?”
“It failed. Actually, it’s a half-finished product,” Su Bai said helplessly.
“…” Yan Hua looked at Su Bai in disbelief, her red eyes trembling, as if looking at a monster.
“What’s wrong?” Su Bai asked, puzzled.
Yan Hua composed herself and excitedly stated, “Shaman, do you know how difficult it is to make a Shaman Bone Tablet?”
“Very difficult. Extremely difficult,” Su Bai nodded emphatically.
“Uh…” Yan Hua was at a loss for words. Her red eyes were glancing at the Shaman Bone Tablet on the stone table. [It seems like anyone can say it is difficult, except for this Shaman. He has no right to say so.]
*Huuuuuu…* She took a deep breath and solemnly said, “I heard my Father say that for a new Shaman to make a Shaman Bone Tablet, it’ll take at least a year.”
“A year?” Su Bai was stunned, repeating in disbelief, “Are you sure it really takes a year to make a Shaman Bone Tablet?”
“Yes, this is what I overheard… ahem, that’s what my Father said himself…” Yan Hua almost let it slip.
“It’s not so difficult that it’ll take a year, right?” Su Bai frowned, perplexed.
“That I’m not sure about,” Yan Hua shook her head, her red eyes curiously looking at the Shaman Bone Tablet on the stone table.
“If you want to look, go ahead and take it,” Su Bai said with amusement, seeing the cow horned girl’s furtive glances. He directly handed her the Shaman Bone Tablet.
*Hehe…* Yan Hua smiled sheepishly, quickly taking the Shaman Bone Tablet.
She knew what Shaman Bone Tablets looked like. However, she had never handled one herself. After all, Shaman Bone Tablets were very important in the Tribe. Even Totem Warriors carried them around like treasure, not even allowing their own children to touch them.
“Oh, there are cracks?” Yan Hua observed carefully, noticing the fine cracks on the surface.
“Yes, that’s why it’s a half-finished product,” Su Bai said calmly.
He was tidying up the things on the stone table, wrapping everything in animal hide by category, so he wouldn’t have to rummage through everything next time.
“Can this Shaman Bone Tablet be used?” Yan Hua softly asked.
“It can, but the Shaman Power won’t last that long,” Su Bai shrugged.
“How many days can it last?” Yan Hua asked curiously.
“About ten days or so,” Su Bai replied casually.
“That’s already very good,” Yan Hua said, reluctantly handing the Shaman Bone Tablet back.
She now understood why the Shaman had been smiling earlier. He had indeed made a Shaman Bone Tablet, even if it would only last for ten days. It still represented some kind of success.
Su Bai took back the Shaman Bone Tablet and softly said, “When you become a Totem Warrior, I’ll make a Shaman Bone Tablet for you.”
“Really?” Yan Hua’s red eyes lit up.
“Really.” Su Bai said with certainty. In the future, every Totem Warrior in the Tribe would be equipped with a Shaman Bone Tablet. This would increase their survival rate during hunts.
Only Totem Warriors could activate Shaman Bone Tablets with their Qi. Giving one to the cow horned girl now would be useless.
“I will definitely become a Totem Warrior,” Yan Hua said seriously. There was only half a year left until the Totem Awakening Ceremony.
“Alright. Let’s all go to sleep,” Su Bai said, having finished tidying up.
“Okay,” Yan Hua nodded, pulling the shy fox eared girl towards the hay bed.
