I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 946, It’s Up to You Now

Su Bai’s index finger tapped rhythmically against the tabletop, his mind wrestling with a particularly challenging concept.

Indeed, he had been contemplating this matter for a considerable amount of time, yet no clear solution had come to mind.

“Shaman, shouldn’t you rest? You’ve been working on this for so long…” Yu Ying’s soft voice came out.

Yu Ying could not bear watching Su Bai work so hard, though this was precisely what a Shaman should do.

She always felt the Shaman was very different from other Shamans. The Flame Dragon Tribe’s Shaman was truly exceptional.

“It’s fine. I’m not tired. I’m still thinking, just a bit of obsessiveness in trying to solve this even though I’m stuck.” Su Bai smiled sheepishly. Sometimes people were like that. They were so close to their goal, yet unable to quite grasp it. At such moments, one desperately wanted to pursue the matter to its conclusion, feeling as though just a little more would do. Then, time flew by and hours passed.

“You should still rest. I’ve prepared some dessert. Please try it and tell me what you think.” Yu Ying tidied the tabletop somewhat, then placed the confectionery down.

Yu Ying had been researching desserts lately. Naturally, the general methods were all provided by Su Bai.

Items like sweet potato soup, sweet potato cakes, apple pie and such.

“You’ve created a new dessert today?” Su Bai asked with considerable interest.

He was quite pleased to observe Yu Ying occupied with such activities. She appeared far more happy overall.

Previously, Yu Ying had been timid and hesitant, not daring to speak loudly. Looking at her now, she had already begun directly suggesting him to rest. This demonstrated how significantly her personality had transformed.

Su Bai genuinely appreciated seeing her like this. It felt like watching a child grow up.

Suddenly observing Yu Ying matured. The areas that should develop had appeared reasonably well endowed, making Yan Hua envious.

“Today I’ve made potato balls. I’m not certain whether you’ll like them, Shaman,” Yu Ying revealed pristine white teeth.

Yes, pristine white teeth. Yu Ying’s teeth were genuinely white, as though specially cleaned through medical treatment.

Yan Hua and Sha Lan’s teeth, while quite white, were not on that level. Compared to Yu Ying, they fell far short. Yu Ying’s teeth could be described as blindingly white.

This was most likely an innate advantage. However, in a Primitive Tribe, it served no particular purpose. After all, this was a Primitive Tribe. Warriors represented the class which held great importance, as Warriors constituted the Tribe’s foundation.

Women being attractive was naturally desirable. However, if they provided no value to their Family or Tribe, even exceptional beauty was meaningless.

Of course, Yu Ying’s white teeth, while offering no advantage within the Flame Dragon Tribe, held considerable appeal in Su Bai’s eyes.

After all, once one observed group after group of people with yellowish teeth, suddenly encountering someone whose teeth gleamed brilliantly white. Wouldn’t that make her stand out even more? Especially when that person was such an exquisitely featured beast eared girl.

Moreover, the young women at the Yong’an Building all had relatively white teeth. Combined with daily toothpaste brushing, the effects were quite remarkable.

The System-provided toothbrushes apparently functioned exceptionally well, even better than back on Earth. Su Bai felt his own teeth had whitened considerably.

The Primitive Tribe’s people demonstrated even more dramatic results, with teeth whitening being immediately apparent.

“Potato balls? When did you create this?” Su Bai enquired curiously.

He did not recall teaching Yu Ying this particular recipe. Moreover, potatoes were rarely used for dessert.

For the moment, Su Bai truly could not identify any potato-based desserts. He only knew of snacks like chips and crisps, or perhaps the mashed potatoes from certain fast-food establishments.

“I researched it myself. I’ve already tested the flavour. It won’t cause any problems,” Yu Ying said with concern.

Yu Ying’s delicate face displayed some worried expression, clearly fearing Su Bai’s displeasure.

The primitive era’s emphasis on saving on food was easy to understand. This was despite the Flame Dragon Tribe possessing a ton of food reserves. Su Bai even stated that the Yong’an Building’s three daily meals should not be limited due to the fear of lacking off. They should just freely prepare the meals and use whatever ingredients there were. However, old habits die hard. Yu Ying, still worried whether creating deserts would waste whatever food reserves they had, came up with something using leftovers.

“Ha ha ha ha… Silly girl. I’m not concerned about the flavour, just surprised, that’s all.” Su Bai’s tone was exceptionally gentle, with a trace of indulgence discernible.

He had initially thought Yu Ying’s confidence had increased somewhat. Unexpectedly, she reverted to her former self instantly.

*Phew…* Yu Ying exhaled in relief, then her tone became soft and sweet again. “Please try it quickly, Shaman. I’m not sure whether you’ll like it.”

“Very well, I’ll try your new creation,” Su Bai lifted a spoon and scooped up one potato ball.

The potato balls were not particularly large, roughly resembling sweet rice balls. However, the small bowl of potato balls was filled with a ton of milk, appearing quite appetising.

“How is it, Shaman? Is the flavour okay? I was concerned it wouldn’t be delicious enough, so I deliberately added a lot of honey.” Yu Ying worried about the taste.

In Yu Ying’s perception, the Shaman was extraordinary. Otherwise, he could not possibly know so many recipes.

Moreover, these dishes all tasted exceptionally delicious. So delicious it was outrageous, the kind that would make people shriek with joy on the spot.

Therefore, when she developed this new dish, she felt quite anxious. She worried whether she might be overreaching.

“En…” Su Bai deliberately drew out a long sound, then praised, “Truly delicious. I love it.”

Indeed, this bowl of potato balls was well prepared. It was genuinely delicious, rather reminiscent of milk mashed potatoes.

“I’m so glad you like it, Shaman. I was concerned you might not…” Yu Ying relaxed completely, her tone becoming considerably more cheerful.

“How did you prepare it? It’s very similar to mashed potatoes from my homeland. Xiao Yu, you are a genius.” Su Bai didn’t stint on praise.

“I first boiled the potatoes in hot water, then removed them and broke them apart, finally adding honey and stirring thoroughly…” Yu Ying spoke animatedly, her expression utterly endearing. At the conclusion, she lowered her head somewhat awkwardly, voice soft as she said, “That’s how I did it, Shaman!”

Yu Ying’s voice grew progressively quieter towards the end. She felt she had perhaps spoken too much. The Shaman had merely asked casually, yet she had responded at length.

However, raising her head to see the Shaman smiling gently, Yu Ying’s pitch immediately elevated again, her voice crisp, sweet, and exceptionally pleasant.

“Xiao Yu is becoming increasingly capable. I’ll be relying on you for daily life from now on,” Su Bai reached out and ruffled her head.

Yu Ying immediately nodded emphatically, saying happily, “I’ll definitely work hard. I absolutely won’t let you experience any discomfort in future, Shaman.”

“Silly girl, you must also be happy. That’s what I hope for as well. Understand?” Su Bai said indulgently.

Yu Ying’s small face instantly flushed pink. She immediately lowered her head and responded softly, “I like you most, Shaman.”

Having spoken, Yu Ying rapidly departed, immediately concealing herself in the kitchen.

From outside, one could still hear objects being knocked over, along with the young girl’s joyful laughter.
