Yan Hua and Ye Jiu leaned their umbrellas against the wall, carrying a large bag as they walked into the living room.

“Shaman, we found some very clean Fluffy Fruit. All the white fluff inside is completely dry.”

Yan Hua excitedly pulled out several Fluffy Fruits from the Animal Hide Bag. Some opened, some unopened.

“I’ve also prepared the other materials the Shaman asked for.” Ye Jiu placed the items on the table.

“Good. I’ll start preparing the sanitary clothes for you now. Then you’ll be able to use these every month.” Su Bai extracted all the cotton wadding from inside the Fluffy Fruits, triple-checking that it was indeed dry.

The young women stood quietly nearby, none of them speaking. They knew that whenever the Shaman was creating something, he was very focused. In this state, he did not like being disturbed.

Moreover, even if he explained, they might not necessarily understand. Better to just look at the final product directly.

Su Bai began washing the white fluff from the Fluffy Fruit. Hygiene was naturally extremely important.

“Shaman, didn’t you ask me to find dry ones? Why are you getting them wet again?” Yan Hua couldn’t help but ask when she saw this step.

Wet Fluffy Fruit was easy to find. The dry ones were harder to locate. If wet ones would work, she could have brought back a whole pile.

“Before making the sanitary clothes, all the raw materials must be washed clean. Otherwise, you’ll get bacterial infections later.” Su Bai kept his head down as he washed. “Don’t worry, I have a way to make them dry quickly.”

Yan Hua nodded thoughtfully without asking further questions, but still watched with curious, delicate eyes.

After Su Bai finished washing a clump of Fluffy Fruit cotton, he spread it out flat on his palm.

He began walking towards the fire pit, his other hand preparing to use his Skill.

“…” Though Yan Hua and the others were very curious, they all resisted the urge to ask questions.

Su Bai activated his Flame Manipulation Skill, extracting a single flame from the fire pit.

His slender fingers continuously controlled that single flame. His other hand held the white cotton ball palm-up, while the flame roasted his hand from the back.

Due to the Flame Manipulation Skill, as long as the flame was under control, it would not harm him in the slightest. So Su Bai currently felt no heat at all. His hand even lacked the sensation of any additional heat.

He used this method to make his palm warm, and the white cotton ball gradually began to dry.

Su Bai’s every operation was very careful, because he was afraid that the small flame might burn the white cotton.

Eventually, he let the flame cover his entire hand, though it was only a faint residual heat, as Su Bai had made the flame barely perceptible.

This was a method he had discovered by chance while training his Flame Manipulation Skill.

Put bluntly, he could use the flame to turn his hand into something like an iron. His entire hand could become extremely hot, yet would not ignite anything, just like a hand warmer.

“So amazing! I thought it would burn the Fluffy Fruit,” Yan Hua widened her red eyes.

“Is this a new Shaman Technique the Shaman learned? But it doesn’t quite seem like one,” Yu Ying murmured to herself.

“What happens next?” Sha Lan remained full of curiosity.

After Su Bai successively dried several raw materials, he began the actual creation process.

Making something identical to the sanitary pads from Earth was impossible, and even something similar wasn’t currently feasible.

There were many more materials needed, but for now he could only make a rough substitute.

That would be something resembling underwear. Su Bai quickly sewed together a linen undergarment with an elastic waistband from linen cloth.

Then he layered on white cotton from the Fluffy Fruit with good water absorption in the important area.

But that was not all. This was only the first step. Next, he had to layer on some paper pulp with good water absorption as the second step.

The third step was also necessary, laying another layer of Fluffy Fruit white cotton on top, then finally sewing on a soft, breathable layer of Animal Hide.

Apart from the paper pulp being strictly controlled during production, everything else had been washed during creation.

Flame Dragon Tribe had already begun researching tissues. With paper already existing, tissue research was relatively simple.

Though not as snow-white as Earth’s tissues, even somewhat yellowish, they worked just as well.

After finishing, he tested the water absorption and capacity back and forth.

The final result was quite good. Finally, he used the Flame Manipulation Skill to dry the underwear.

“Alright, try putting it on and see how the size and comfort are. If not, I’ll adjust it for you.” Su Bai handed over the finished underwear.

Yu Ying took the underwear with a blushing face, asking, “Shaman, wearing this will prevent more of such embarrassing moments?”

Yu Ying was naturally thinking about the embarrassment of blood soaking through clothes and showing red. That was truly too humiliating.

“I just tested the water absorption. Even if the volume is very large, it’s completely fine.” Su Bai gave a definitive answer.

“Thank you, Shaman. I’ll go change into it now.” Yu Ying immediately turned and ran back to her room.

She left as quickly as possible, the blush on her face not diminishing in the slightest.

“Shaman, after watching just now, I think it actually seems quite convenient.” Yan Hua began to feel somewhat envious.

Of course, they already had underwear. After Su Bai took over the Tribe, how could such essential items not exist?

So now everyone in Flame Dragon Tribe, regardless of gender or age, wore these intimate garments. After all, he wanted to build a modern city. For propriety and modesty, these things had to be promoted.

Looking at those underwear, Yan Hua thought of what she was currently wearing. If her period really came every month, it could completely help her hide it.

Embarrassment would completely cease to exist, and she would not need to immediately rush to wash things so troublesomely.

“If Xiao Yu finds it comfortable to wear, I’ll continue improving this item. I’ll try to get it sorted out during this time.” After washing his hands, Su Bai picked up a cup of tea, thinking about how to make better improvements.

The current version was naturally quite convenient, though it would use more materials.

“Just looking at it, I think it’s very comfortable. Most importantly, it’s very convenient and suitable for us Warriors.” As Yan Hua spoke, she moved about.

“That’s true, but I also need to improve some versions suitable for other people.” Su Bai said lightly.

After hearing Yan Hua’s words, it seemed today’s design could also be retained.

“Shaman, wearing… it… feels… so… comfortable.” Yu Ying opened the door shyly and hesitantly.

After Yu Ying finished this sentence, she immediately closed the door again. One could imagine how shy she felt.
