Chapter 91: The World of Beasts: The Fake Priestess Is Really Cultivating Immortality
The night gradually faded away, and the sky turned pale. Liu Shiwen woke up from her sleep. She rubbed her eyes and looked at the sky outside. She couldn't help but feel a strong desire to escape.
She knew that in order to successfully escape from the tribe, she must first gain the trust of the Eagle people. Only in this way would she have the opportunity to contact more members of the tribe and find clues to escape.
She thought of the great deal of knowledge she possessed, which was very useful to the Eagle people. If she could pass on this knowledge to them, perhaps she could gain their respect and trust and earn merit at the same time.
Liu Shiwen decided to start with the Eagle Tribe’s priest.
The priest holds a high status in the tribe, and if she can get his approval, her plan will be easier to implement.
So she took advantage of her daily exercise session to carefully observe the priest's words and actions, trying to find an opportunity to contact him.
Finally one day, she saw the priest processing the collected herbs alone at the entrance of the nest, so she took the opportunity to walk over.
"Hello, Your Excellency the Priest." Liu Shiwen said with a smile.
The priest looked up and saw that it was Liu Shiwen, and frowned in surprise.
"Goddess, what are you doing here?" he asked, with a hint of vigilance in his tone.
Liu Shiwen didn't care about the priest's attitude. She continued:
"Master Priest, I know some medical skills and herbal knowledge, maybe I can help you."
When the priest heard this, a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.
He knew that the goddess who had been talked about a lot among the tribe recently was here. He wanted to know what kind of magical power she had. Besides, the Eagle Tribe was indeed lacking in medical skills. If they could learn more knowledge, it would undoubtedly be a good thing for the tribe.
"Oh? Do you know medicine?" asked the priest.
Liu Shiwen nodded and told the priest some first aid knowledge and herbal usage that she knew.
The priest listened with great interest and nodded his approval from time to time.
“It seems like you really know a lot.”
The priest said
"If you are willing, I can recommend you to the tribe leader and let you teach this knowledge in the tribe, and you won't have to think about escaping."
Liu Shiwen was delighted when she heard this.
She knew that this was the first step to gain the trust of the Eagle people.
So, with the recommendation of the priest, Liu Shiwen began to teach medical skills and herbal knowledge in the tribe.
The tribesmen gradually developed trust and respect for her, and her status in the tribe slowly improved. In addition to medical skills and herbal knowledge, Liu Shiwen also taught the tribesmen a lot of other knowledge.
She taught them how to make salt to make food more delicious; she taught them how to weave clothes and tools to make their lives more convenient; she also showed them how to make fire by rubbing two sticks together, so that the tribesmen no longer had to worry about making fire.
The spread of this knowledge made Liu Shiwen's reputation in the Eagle tribe increasingly high.
The tribesmen began to regard her as a true goddess and asked her various questions. Liu Shiwen was also happy to share her knowledge so that she could earn a lot of merit.
However, Liu Shiwen did not forget her original intention. She knew that in order to truly escape from the tribe, she needed to find more clues and opportunities.
By chance, Liu Shiwen overheard a conversation between two Eagle tribe members. They mentioned a secret passage outside the tribal border, through which they could leave the tribe.
Liu Shiwen's mind moved, and she decided to use this opportunity to find the secret passage. She quietly left the cell during the exercise time and walked towards the border of the tribe.
However, she did not notice that her actions had been discovered by Yingtan.
Yingtan had been secretly following Liu Shiwen's movements. When he saw her leave the cell, he immediately followed her.
Liu Shiwen walked for a long time and finally arrived at the border of the tribe.
She looked around, trying to find the secret passage, when she suddenly felt dizzy and fell uncontrollably.
It turned out that when she approached the secret passage, she accidentally triggered the trap set by the tribe. This is a mechanism used to prevent invasion by outsiders. Once triggered, it will release a strong psychedelic gas.
Liu Shiwen fell to the ground and her consciousness gradually became blurred.
She felt her body was restrained by a powerful force and she couldn't move.
Just then, she vaguely heard the sound of Yingtan.
"Goddess, how are you?" Yingtan asked anxiously.
Liu Shiwen tried hard to open her eyes and saw Yingtan's anxious face. She was touched and knew that she was able to be rescued this time thanks to him.
"I'm fine." Liu Shiwen said, her voice a little weak.
Yingtan helped Liu Shiwen up and brought her back to the tribe.
He found the priest and the clan leader and told them that Liu Shiwen did not understand the environment of the clan and was accidentally caught when passing by.
After listening to Yingtan's explanation and looking at Liu Shiwen's weak appearance, the chief's anger subsided a little. Liu Shiwen had indeed just arrived in the tribe and was not clear about the situation.
He also knew that Liu Shiwen had indeed brought a lot of benefits to the tribe, and her attitude had also changed, and she no longer thought about escaping.
"If that's the case, then forget it." The tribe leader said, "But you have to remember not to leave the tribe casually again."
Liu Shiwen nodded, indicating that she would abide by the clan rules.
She knew that she was able to escape punishment this time thanks to Yingtan's help. After all, he was the future patriarch, and perhaps only by becoming the patriarch could she be free.
After this incident, the relationship between Yingtan and Liu Shiwen became closer.
Seeing how loving they were, the tribesmen expressed their blessings. The tribe leader looked at the two of them and felt a little disappointed but secretly satisfied.
After all, good things should be kept in the family. It doesn't matter if you don't get it but your son gets it.
As time went by, the relationship between Liu Shiwen and Yingtan gradually heated up.
Yingtan looked at Liu Shiwen with eyes full of tenderness and love.
He knew that he had fallen deeply in love with this female, and Liu Shiwen gradually accepted his feelings and her plans.
Witnessed by the Eagle Clan priest, they held a grand marriage ceremony and officially became husband and wife.
However, behind the happiness, Liu Shiwen has not forgotten her original intention.
She has been looking for an opportunity to escape from the tribe. She knows that in order to be truly free, she must gain more power. The position of the chief of the Eagle tribe is the key to her freedom.
So, on a dark and windy night, after making love, Liu Shiwen leaned on his arms. She looked at Yingtan with a determined light in her eyes.
"Tan, I'm afraid of Serpentine and Tiger Stone coming here," said Liu Shiwen.
Yingtan looked at her, feeling a little uneasy. He felt that Liu Shiwen's tone was a little serious.
"It's okay, don't worry, I will protect you," he asked.
Liu Shiwen took a deep breath and said, "I want you to become the leader of the Eagle Clan."
Yingtan's eyes widened in surprise when he heard this. He couldn't believe his ears. Liu Shiwen actually wanted him to become the patriarch!
"You...what did you say?" he asked stutteringly.
Liu Shiwen looked at him with a firm look in her eyes: "I said, I want you to become the chief of the Eagle Tribe. Only in this way can we truly grasp the power of the tribe and compete with the Snake Tribe."
Yingtan was silent for a while, then said: "But, my father is the patriarch, he..."
Liu Shiwen interrupted him: "I know, but your father is old and needs to retire, and you, young and promising, are the best candidate to take over as the patriarch."
Yingtan shook his head and said, "No, I can't do this. My father has always been good to me, and I can't betray him."
Liu Shiwen looked him in the eyes and said, "Yingtan, you are not betraying him. You are thinking about the future of the tribe. If you become the chief, we can lead the tribe to a more prosperous future."
Yingtan hesitated for a moment, then said: "But even if I want to become the clan leader, it is not that easy. There are many people in the clan coveting this position."
Liu Shiwen smiled and said, "I have my own way. If you are willing, I will help you get rid of all your competitors."
Yingtan looked at her, a complex emotion welling up in his heart.
He knew that Liu Shiwen was a smart woman who had her own ideas and plans. However, he also knew that this plan was full of dangers and uncertainties.
"Have you really thought it through?" he asked.
Liu Shiwen nodded and said:
"I've thought about it. As long as we can succeed, we can realize our dream and be together forever. Yingtan, are you willing to take the risk with me?"
Yingtan looked into her eyes and took a deep breath.
He knew that this decision could change his life.
However, he also knew that if he didn't take a risk, he might never be able to keep her.
"Okay, I'll take the risk with you," he said.
Liu Shiwen smiled with satisfaction. She knew that her plan was half successful. Next, she needed to start implementing her plan and help Yingtan become the patriarch.
In the following days, she continued to secretly sow discord and create various opportunities for Yingtan's competitors to kill each other.
In this process, Yingtan gradually demonstrated his leadership and decisiveness. He led his people to carry out various reforms and innovations, making the life of the tribe better and better.
The tribesmen began to believe in him, support him, and regard him as the future tribe leader.
However, just when their plan was about to succeed, Yingtan's father discovered their conspiracy. He angrily found Yingtan and Liu Shiwen, asking them why they betrayed themselves.
Yingtan and Liu Shiwen were filled with tension and anxiety when facing the questioning of the Eagle Chief. They knew that if they revealed their flaws at this moment, all their previous efforts would be wasted.
Yingtan took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound calm and firm:
"Father, we have not betrayed you. We just want to consider the future of the tribe and lead our people to a more prosperous life."
Yingtan's father widened his eyes and glared at them:
"You are talking nonsense! You are secretly sowing discord and creating chaos, isn't it just to seize the position of clan leader?"
Liu Shiwen took a step forward and said fearlessly in the face of the Eagle Chief's anger:
"Chief, we do have such an idea. However, this is not because we are greedy for power, but because we believe that Yingtan can lead the tribe to a better future."
Yingtan's father was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Liu Shiwen and said
"How dare you, a female, seduce my son! What on earth are you thinking?"
Liu Shiwen responded without showing any weakness:
"Chief, I am not trying to deceive Yingtan. On the contrary, he saw the potential of the tribe and wanted to create a better life for his people. I am the goddess, and I am just by his side to support him and help him realize his dream."
Yingtan's father listened to their words and the anger in his heart gradually subsided.
He began to re-examine the two young men and wonder if what they said made sense.
Yingtan took the opportunity to say
: "Father, I know you have always had high expectations of me. I have always wanted to be the good son in your heart. However, I think it is not enough to be satisfied with the status quo. We should bravely pursue a better future and create a better life for our people."
Yingtan's father was silent for a while, then said:
"Your words have shaken me a little. However, becoming the tribe leader is not that easy. You need to gain the support and recognition of the tribe members."
"We will try our best," Yingtan said.
In the following days, Yingtan and Liu Shiwen worked harder to contribute to the development of the tribe. They helped the tribe members solve various problems, improve their living conditions, and made the tribe members trust and rely on them more and more.
Finally, at a clan meeting, Yingtan was formally elected as the new clan leader.
Although his father was somewhat reluctant, he also saw his growth and progress, and finally handed over the position of patriarch to him with confidence.
Yingtan became the clan leader, and Liu Shiwen became his wife. However, after gaining power, she was thinking about how to leave.
