Free Web NovelChapter 1420: Chapter 1259: Ancient Beast World 25
Although Yan Ming is a Great Witch skilled in divination, he has also studied pharmaceuticals somewhat. Seeing so many herbs, he couldn’t resist jumping down from the bramble wall to examine them closely.
Upon this inspection, Yan Ming spotted Shuangshuang picking herbs—it was quite the coincidence, as she had recently been researching a new medicine to treat epidemics. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Epidemics are severe in the Beastman World; when one arises, it results in a whole tribe dying. Not long ago, a medium-sized tribe with over three thousand people not far from the Silver Tiger Clan was wiped out by an epidemic.
The news was brought by a passing beastman, and at that time, Shuangshuang was already considering the necessity of developing medicine to treat epidemics.
Of course, the medicine for treating epidemics isn’t a cure-all, since the symptoms of epidemics vary. Shuangshuang merely developed medicine for the most common ailments.
Just as she finished picking some necessary herbs and stood up, she lifted her head and saw someone standing by the bramble wall. At first glance, Shuangshuang recognized the person as Yan Ming.
Yan Ming’s face is highly distinctive—there’s no one in the tribe better looking than him.
Even Su Jinghao, who had seen countless handsome men in the modern world, was very enamored with Yan Ming’s face. Although Su Jinghao’s other men were quite handsome, none compared to Yan Ming’s face.
Yan Ming was always Su Jinghao’s favorite; no number of men could match up to Yan Ming’s importance, and Yan Ming was the one who accompanied her the most.
Seeing that Shuangshuang had noticed him, Yan Ming walked over openly, looking at Shuangshuang hesitantly, saying, "I wonder if the lady is the one who saved my Great Witch?"
Yan Ming saw Shuangshuang picking herbs, and her bearing was extraordinary, different from beastmen. Having mistaken people before, only then did Yan Ming cautiously ask.
Shuangshuang nodded at Yan Ming, saying indifferently, "It was a mere gesture. I happened to save you that day."
Yan Ming looked at Shuangshuang with some surprise; he truly didn’t expect the Great Witch, whom he had heard of but never met and admired, to be so young.
"A mere gesture from you is a lifesaving grace to me, which naturally cannot go unreturned. Whatever the lady desires, I will agree to it.
Although you may not recognize me, I hail from the Silver Tiger Clan too; I later went to the Flame Department to learn how to become a Great Witch, and it’s been some time since I left.
Returning to the Silver Tiger Clan was a matter of longing; I didn’t expect the Silver Tiger Clan to have developed so well. I see you have cultivated these herbs excellently.
I have never seen such cultivation methods, truly impressive. By the way, I am Yan Ming. I still don’t know what the lady’s name is."
"You can call me Shuangshuang. This is a herbal field I’ve specifically planted. Since you are a Great Witch and hail from our Silver Tiger Tribe, you are one of us.
In the future, if Yan Ming the Great Witch needs herbs, just come to this field and pick them." Shuangshuang said coldly, not overly warm.
"In that case, I thank Miss Shuangshuang. Although I’m good at divination, my skills in pharmaceutical aspects are average, so using the herbs in this field might waste your painstaking cultivation."
Given it was their first meeting, and Shuangshuang was courteous, Yan Ming did not notice her coldness, and because Great Witches are typically aloof due to their special status, Yan Ming considered Shuangshuang’s attitude to be quite decent.
"Herbs are grown for the purpose of medicine; there’s no such thing as waste. If Yan Ming the Great Witch needs them, just use them."
After exchanging a few more words, Shuangshuang excused herself to return to medicine preparation, and Yan Ming took another loop around the herb field, closely observing the growth of the herbs before leaving.
Though Yan Ming is skilled in divination and prediction, the Great Witch is all-knowing and almighty. While Yan Ming’s pharmaceutical and combat skills are weak points, he is not unskilled—just not as proficient as divination.
Upon leaving the herb field, Yan Ming walked further and saw a farm, unlike the herb field. It had no bramble walls, merely large wooden enclosures.
Each enclosure housed different herbivorous animals, and Yan Ming observed closely that these animals, known for their docile temperament, now being penned with food and water, were surprisingly content without thoughts of escaping.
Having seen the herb field and farm, and after several rounds through the Silver Tiger Tribe, Yan Ming let out a breath; his previously vague notion became clear—he wished to stay in the Silver Tiger Tribe.
Earlier, knowing the Silver Tiger Tribe already had a Great Witch made Yan Ming hesitant, though tribes having two or more Great Witches is not unheard of.
Yet this happens only under certain conditions, such as the tribe being a Super Tribe or at minimum, a Great Tribe with a population over ten thousand. The Silver Tiger Tribe’s population is still small.
After walking around the tribe, however, Yan Ming felt that despite the Silver Tiger Tribe having a smaller population, it was richer than the Super Tribe, the Flame Department, where he had lived.
What truly captivated Yan Ming was the cleanliness of the Silver Tiger Tribe, which held tremendous appeal to him. freēwēbnovel.com
It’s almost pitiful to say, Yan Ming was somewhat unaware of being slightly germaphobic—not severely so, but he had basic requirements for cleanliness and tidiness.
The beastmen had no demands or boundaries on cleanliness whatsoever; back then, Shuangshuang spent three years just changing their unclean habits.
For Yan Ming, who was slightly germaphobic, facing filthy beastmen and living spaces reeking of waste daily was truly torturous.
If it weren’t for this, Yan Ming wouldn’t have turned into an introvert, hiding in a cave, rarely stepping out.
Last lifetime, Su Jinghao caught Yan Ming’s eye mainly because she, like him, had a slight germaphobia.
Yan Ming truly liked this clean place, and with his inherent bias toward the Silver Tiger Clan, since he was born here.
Thinking it over, Yan Ming decided to stay in the Silver Tiger Clan; coincidentally, Shuangshuang the Great Witch excelled in pharmaceutical skills, and he specialized in divination—their cooperation would certainly elevate the Silver Tiger Clan.
Having made up his mind, Yan Ming felt relaxed all at once, and while looking at the Silver Tiger Clan, his Heart Realm felt different—previously, he had an outsider’s perspective; now, he considered it his home.
Dou Yan was ecstatic to hear Yan Ming was willing to stay with the Silver Tiger Clan, grinning ear to ear—it was great news.
Although the tribe had Shuangshuang, a powerful Great Witch who would complain about having more Great Witches?
To celebrate Yan Ming joining the Silver Tiger Tribe, Dou Yan gathered all the clansmen, held a celebration party for Yan Ming, and then handed Yan Ming plenty of food.
Dou Yan directly allocated a whole big-horned sheep to Yan Ming; it was still being raised in the farm, to be slaughtered whenever Yan Ming wished to eat.
Beastmen discovered that once the horns of the big-horned sheep are cut, its fighting power drops sharply, and its aggressiveness decreases significantly.
Considering the big-horned sheep’s tender meat, strong life force, and easy to raise nature, the farm now primarily raised big-horned sheep.
Besides meat, Dou Yan also allocated fruits and vegetables to Yan Ming—yes, vegetables.
Inspired by the herb field, these vegetables came from seeds of wild greens beastmen themselves collected and planted.
Now, these wild greens have undergone three years of artificial cultivation, growing larger than their wild counterparts, and mildly bitter, perfect for wrapping roasted meat to offset its greasy taste.
