Dragon God, immortal

He was only thirty years old this year. Among the more intelligent dragon species, he was just a dragon that had barely passed its teenage years. But he was about to reach adulthood!

After saying hello to Juan Hua.

Shushan no longer suppressed his own power.

Then it bloomed... There's nothing much to say, it bloomed as quickly as an Epiphyllum, and this scene was a bit embarrassing for a male dragon... No matter how many times it happened, it was a bit embarrassing...

"Although it's not the first time I've watched it, I still find it shocking." Juan Hua smiled with his hands covering his mouth slightly.

"Stop laughing. If you want to collect the potion, do it as soon as possible. These flowers will only bloom for a month." Shushan smiled helplessly.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work."

“Do you have a container for loading?”

"We do have containers," Juan Hua nodded and replied, "I commissioned Aunt Jinju and several other watchers to make a lot of crystal bottles with quartz sand. These bottles should be enough."

"Oh? Their magic is already strong enough to make crystals? They learn very quickly..." Shushan remembered that when he studied magic, it took him more than five years...

"It's all thanks to your good teaching!" Juan Hua said as he climbed up the hillside covered with flowers.

She already had the knowledge of the potion on Shushan's back.

Now is the first time to practice.

But she wasn't nervous.

Juan Hua, who was already eighteen years old, was very agile. He jumped and hopped on Shushan's broad back, picked some flowers, and poured their juice into a crystal bottle on the spot.

It wasn't long before she finished picking and went down the 'mountain' carrying a big bag... Well, of course she couldn't pick all the flowers in one day, so she decided to pick one each day.

As for whether Shushan can wait for her for more than ten days... well, in the eyes of Lord Shushan, one day, one week, or one month, there is not much difference.

When he has nothing to do, Shushan can even stay in a daze for half a month, and he will only respond when someone calls him.

"By the way, Master Shushan, I may have to stay on Zhangqiu Island next year and won't be able to come here to be your assistant..."

Chapter 13: Hei Song is 13 years old

"Oh, by the way, the contract for the Watcher is for five years." Shushan raised his head slightly, remembering what he had signed before.

Considering that the cat-eared people are highly social and cannot bear to leave the tribe for too long, a five-year limit was set... Well, there are quite a few cat-eared people willing to be watchmen now, so it's no problem for them to take turns to guard the fields. Shushan has no objection.

But Juan Hua refused to do it.

This made him a little depressed.

Juan Hua is such a great assistant. With her around, it’s easy to handle all kinds of subtle operations, and she can understand some complex requirements quickly.

"Well, but in a year at the earliest and three years at the latest, I will come back and continue to be Lord Shushan's assistant." Juanhua was picking flowers on Shushan's back. The potion she was working on now was called [Meteoric Flower], a potion that could act on the mind and soul.

"It means there is something important to deal with... What is it? If necessary, it is no problem for me to go to Zhangqiu Island now." Shushan nodded. After the oat cultivation work was completed, he felt a lot more relaxed.

"It's nothing serious. My grandmother just asked me to give birth to two children quickly. I had no choice but to give birth to them quickly and come back." Juan Hua said lightly.

Shushan was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that the Cat-Eared Tribe was a matriarchal society, a society where women choose their mates...

It's like a human male being called back home to breed and have babies... um...

"Well, if you have a lover, it's okay for you not to come back. You seem to be the young chief of the tribe, right? Is it really okay not to be responsible for leading the tribe..." Shushan thought for a while and said. He knew that Juanhua was actually the first-line heir to the chief of the Sanhua tribe.

"I am not the leader of the tribe now. My position in the tribe is like... a witch serving God?" Juan Hua tilted his head and said, "I am the junior chief in name, but I don't have the ability to lead the tribe."

"No, no, no, I think you are very wise, really, you have really made your tribe a better place!" Shushan raised his eyebrows and said, he felt that Juanhua did not need to belittle himself.

"It's all thanks to Lord Shushan's wise teaching. So, I hope to give full play to my wisdom. Please allow me to continue learning from you..." Juan Hua stopped what he was doing and nodded slightly.

It's a bit willful for you to say that!

There is a kind of in order to go to college...

The feeling of giving up the inheritance...

Juanhua's goal is very clear, which is to use Shushan's knowledge to improve the lives of the tribe.

But... Shushan's knowledge is almost completely gone, really... He's just a 30-year-old young dragon...

"Since you've asked me to do so, then fine, I'll give you a five-year vacation." Shushan nodded helplessly, and the branches on the dragon's horn swayed...

"Many thanks."

. . . . . .

The sun shines into the house.

Heisong suddenly opened his eyes.

He yawned silently, gripped the ground with his cat-like paws and feet, and stretched comfortably.

Well, he is also the first cat man to get up in this big house! Today is the winter solstice! It is also the day when the watchers return home! He must get up early and get ready!

The tribe of the Cat-Eared Tribe is mainly composed of three types of buildings: ancestral hall, big house, and small house. The ancestral hall is built next to the statue of the first generation watcher, which is the original cat climbing frame... It is the place where the tribesmen hold meetings.

The big house is where the women of the cat-ear tribe live. Generally, three to ten women with their offspring live together, raising their offspring together and taking turns to work together. They will not move out of the big house until their offspring can become independent.

Well, because we take turns to work, we can have a few days off every month to stay overnight at our spouse's cabin...

The hut is the residence of the cat-eared men, or to be more precise, it is the residence prepared by unmarried women for marriageable men!

In the past, if a female cat-person was unmarried, she would join a hunting team to hunt in the forest. Her agile body and surging explosive power were the weapons of young female cat-people.

Compared to male cat people.

Female cat people are more cat-like.

More flexible.

Nowadays, even unmarried female cat people will not hunt rashly, because there are too many powerful beasts in the forest of Cat Claw Islands. If you don’t know magic, it’s best not to go far away from the main road...

Nowadays, the job of female cat people is to domesticate cattle and sheep. Well, it has been smoothly transferred from the hunting era to the animal husbandry era.

"Half-ripe corn is the favorite food of cattle and sheep, but if you want them to produce more milk, you have to harvest grass from the grassland to feed them."

This is what the priestess who serves God, Juan Hua, said. She said that this is the knowledge of the Dragon God, and she just moved the knowledge here...

It turns out that cattle and sheep really like to eat silage corn, and can easily accept dried corn stalks, but if they only eat corn...

It doesn't grow much flesh, and it doesn't produce much milk.

Adding other wheat grasses to the diet did solve this problem.

This proves the correctness of the Dragon God's knowledge.

'It's the same for the cat-ear tribe. Corn, as the staple food, tastes good, but they also need to eat something else... beets, mustard greens, and sea fish can all be good supplements of nutrients to maintain a healthy and fast growth.'

As it turned out, after planting the vegetable seeds brought back by the birch priestess and popularizing them as staple vegetables, the younger generation of the cat-ear tribe grew faster, and the older cat people are still healthy today.

At this point, no one doubted the wisdom of the witch Juanhua. Even if she did not stay in the tribe, she could still lead the tribe towards prosperity!

"If we can use magic...if we can use magic, we can extract salt from the seawater. Yes, the salt that we used to need to spend a lot of resources to trade with humans to obtain."

According to the description of the Dragon God, the priestess Juanhua opened up salt fields at suitable locations on the coast.

By skillfully using [Polymerization Mud and Sand Magic], pure table salt can be extracted from dry sea salt.

The watchers who have mastered magic only need to extract it once every winter to obtain enough salt bricks for the entire tribe to use for a year!

When the older generation of the cat-ear tribe saw these salt bricks, they all burst into tears... The reason was simple: salt is a necessity in life, and such an expensive thing can be made so easily... Compared with the hard life in the past, these tears of happiness naturally fell.

Heimong recalled what Sister Juanhua said.

Before I knew it, I had reached the edge of the ranch.

Two female cat-people who had gotten up earlier than him were already harvesting grass, mixing it with silage, and feeding it to the penned cattle and sheep.

Next to the feeding trough, there is a large piece of salt brick for cattle and sheep to lick. In the past... this was unthinkable. Cats haven't even eaten enough salt, so how could there be enough for cattle and sheep to lick?

The two female cat people saw Hei Song and waved to him with a smile, which frightened Hei Song so much that he quickly fled from the spot...

Hei Song hid behind a tree in panic, breathing heavily.

Most cat-ear women are very proactive.

Well, take the initiative to find a partner.

As long as they are fifteen years old and have reached adulthood, marriage within a ten-year age difference is allowed. In most cases, a woman will stay with a man for the rest of her life, but...

Hei Song had heard that women with philandering hearts would look for underage kittens and either seduce or force them to become adults... This terrifying behavior frightened Hei Song very much...

But at this moment, he thought of Juan Hua. If he married Juan Hua, he would probably live in the hut for most of his life... After all, Juan Hua would not live in a big house like other women and raise offspring together with other women... There would be no way for her to take turns resting with other women, and she would only stay in his hut for two or three days a month at most...

Shaking his head, Heimong patted his cheek with his paw pad.

He is still a long way from becoming independent!

He ran to the field and saw a large field of harvested corn from afar. The male farmers of the Cat-Eared Tribe were carrying food for their people with their strong arms.

A male cat-man saw Hei Song and waved to him helplessly. This was a signal for help... The winter solstice had arrived, and they were busy preparing a feast for Lord Dragon God, but the harvest was so good recently that they were a little too busy...

Hei Song nodded vigorously, his big brown and black round ears trembled, he raised his hand and cast a magic, making all the corn in front of him float up, then walked step by step to move them to the big granary...

To be honest, this is a tiring job. After all, [Magic of Attracting All Things] is a magic relative to one's own strength, and one can only lift things that are proportional to one's own strength...

But! Hei Song found the secret! Every year when the Dragon God arrived at the winter solstice, he would feel the power of the Earth Dragon God! Finally, he realized how to direct the weight to the earth!

In other words, most of the weight of the things he had just lifted was pressed on the ground. He was like pushing a cart, transporting grain equivalent to ten times his weight to the granary!

The male cat man who was helped patted Heimong's shoulder vigorously! This is a gesture of mutual recognition between men!

I almost...

We can be independent now!

Hei Song put his hands on his hips and thought proudly that he could almost move out of the big house and live in the small house!

And moving into the small house is like announcing to the women in the tribe... I am an adult now, you are welcome to sleep with me, and of course you are also welcome to marry me... Well, that is to send out this message.

Thinking of this, Heisong hung his head helplessly. He actually didn't want to find a mate yet. Although he wouldn't have to take care of the cubs in the future, he still hoped to have children with the female cat he liked.

The image of Sister Juanhua emerged in his mind. Her furry curly ears were very conspicuous among many women. Heisong's own round ears were also quite eye-catching.

If I marry Sister Juan Hua...

It will attract a lot of attention...

Will the baby be born with curled ears or round ears? Or will it be the more common pointed ears or long ears?

Patting his blushing face, Hei Song quickly put the image in his mind behind him. Juan Hua was the young chief of the Sanhua tribe, and he could only be admired from afar but not desecrated!

After clenching his fist to encourage himself, Hei Song followed the men to the big granary... The big granary was actually Shushan’s old nest cellar. Thanks to Shushan’s high requirements for food, this cellar became the best granary in the tribe!

It is now late in the morning and the strong men have begun to push the stone mill. They have been grinding for four or five days before they have managed to grind out the required cornmeal.

Well, thinking about it this way, Lord Dragon God only needs half a day to prepare food for nearly two hundred people...

That kind of physique is really something men yearn for!

Hei Song couldn't help with this.

Even if he used the [Magic of Repelling All Things] to push the millstone, it would only make the millstone float, and it would not be able to grind at all, so the only thing he could do now was to wash the bowls and spoons with the women and prepare to light a fire.

Well, when Hei Song saw the women from afar, he immediately blushed and ran away... Because of physiological reasons, the cat-ear tribe has as much hair on their lower limbs as cats, so they usually don't wear underwear on their lower limbs... So after getting wet, they are vaguely visible...

When they arrived outside the ancestral hall, Heisong found Grandma Sanhua. He sat down and greeted the clan leader.

Then sit down, look at your nose with your eyes, and look at your heart with your nose, to clear your thoughts.

It has been confirmed that Kuromatsu has a talent for magic, and it is likely that he will go to Tegenkyu Island to be a watchman when he grows up.

If he hadn't been a watchman, he would probably have become a member of the production team. With his magical talent, there is a high probability that he would become the captain of the production team in the future!

There was a bustling bustle outside the big granary.

Because today is the winter solstice.

The Winter Solstice Party is the biggest event in the tribe!

The benevolent Earth Dragon God rented the most fertile soil to the Cat-Eared Tribe, and half of their land products would be offered as a sacrifice to the Dragon God in order to pray for an equally good harvest next year.

Well, even if the Cat-Eared Tribe only keeps half of it, it will be enough for the existing 300 people to eat. And the half that is presented to Shushan... must not be the kind with stalks, but the same food that the Cat-Eared Tribe eats, made from corn kernels!

Heisong’s favorite is steamed cornbread. These staple foods made by steaming and boiling are delicious, and you can stuff your favorite dishes into the depression in the middle.

The corn cakes that have been stored for a longer time are also good, but they taste too dry and take a long time to chew...

As for the golden soup made from corn starch and goat milk, it can probably only be eaten on the winter solstice. However, you can also taste a similar flavor by dipping popcorn in cooked goat milk...
