I Became The Chief of A Primitive Village

*Swish swish swish…* At dusk, a figure in the forest was swiftly wielding a weapon.

In the dark forest, there was only weak moonlight, with most other light coming from luminescent insects.

The entire forest was filled with moonlight, glowing insects, and the calls of various creatures, yet none of this disturbed the natural tranquillity of the night.

*Chirp chirp…* *Howl howl…*

Various calls echoed through the forest, falling silent wherever the figure passed.

*Swish swish swish…* Wherever the figure went, the sound of a blade cutting through the air rang out. IT was particularly crisp in comparison to the quiet night.

The figure in the darkness was none other than the wolf eared girl, Ye Jiu, who had been doing this for the past few days.

She was training with the combat knife given by Su Bai. She had completely fallen in love with this knife from the moment she had received it, and she was unable to put it down.

The combat knife’s feel and lethal sharpness had captivated her.

Ordinary bone knives and stone knives could never achieve this feeling. Bone knives were too light, completely unsuitable for Totem Warriors, offering no feedback when swung. Most importantly, they were not all that sharp. When needing to cut something, it took great effort, and the bone knife might even break.

While shorter stone knives suited Totem Warriors better due to their weight and better grip, they lacked power when wielded and the toughness as well. Their sharpness was also mediocre, unable to cleave through an opponent’s head in one swing. They lacked lethality, and were at most useful for self-defence or cutting meat.

The wolf eared girl had never been satisfied with how these two weapon types felt. However, she did not have any other options since that was all the Primitive Tribes could provide.

That was until the combat knife appeared, the wolf eared girl finally understood the weapon she had been missing all her life. She trained with the combat knife every night, even hunting wild beasts and Ferocious Beasts.

“Just a bit more and I can break through…” Ye Jiu murmured, beads of sweat falling from her pure white forehead.

The wolf eared girl was already a Peak Early-Stage Totem Warrior. It would not take long before she could break through to become a Mid-Stage Totem Warrior.

Because of this, whenever she had free time, she would train alone every day.

At night when everyone else was sleeping or studying, she would finish her studies and start training.

In the wolf eared girl’s mind, her main pursuit was strength. She believed that if she got stronger, many issues could be resolved. After joining the Flame Dragon Tribe, this belief grew even stronger.

She wanted to become stronger, to have the ability to protect everyone in the Tribe, to contribute her strength to the Shaman.

“Why are you alone all the way out here?” Another figure slowly emerged from the darkness.

It was the rabbit eared girl, Yue, who had seen the Tribe’s cold beauty leave the Tribe every night, returning very late.

The rabbit eared girl had asked around about the wolf eared girl, learning that she had joined the Flame Dragon Tribe from another Tribe.

She had killed a Six Eyed Red Bird alone, which caught her interest. After all, Ye Jiu, like herself, rarely spoke.

Most importantly, this person seemed familiar somehow, and she wanted to confirm it.

Ye Jiu did not stop wielding her combat knife, only softly responding, “En!”

She had sensed Yue approaching earlier, but since she knew it was someone from the Tribe, she lowered her guard.

Yue stood quietly watching, saying nothing. The moonlight fell on her silver-white hair and delicate face, making her look especially beautiful.

She blinked her silver-white eyes. Her curled eyelashes were bathed in moonlight as she commented. “You seem to really like this weapon.”

The rabbit eared girl knew about Ye Jiu’s new weapon, which was exceptional since it was given to her by the Shaman.

“Of course!” Ye Jiu remained cold, not stopping her practice.

Although both rarely spoke and were quiet individuals, the atmosphere at this moment was surprisingly harmonious, and not awkward at all.

Yue leaned against a nearby tree, quietly watching, somewhat envious of the weapon in the other’s hand.

Which Totem Warrior would not want a weapon of their own? Especially one that felt perfect in their hands.

Most importantly, it was given by the Shaman – how prestigious was that? In the Tribe, without needing to say anything, just receiving a gift from the Shaman would make one’s status naturally rise, with everyone showing respect.

“Here!” Ye Jiu stopped swinging and turned to throw it to the rabbit eared girl.

Yue quickly caught the handle and smiled. “Thanks.”

She also began wielding the combat knife, becoming captivated by the weapon’s feel and the sound it made when cutting through the air.

Ye Jiu just stood there and quietly watched, not bothering with the sweat falling from her forehead, down her pure white cheeks to her chin.

The drop of sweat on her chin reflected the moonlight differently before slowly falling.

No Totem Warrior could resist the combat knife’s allure, especially the feeling when wielding it.

After practising for a while, Yue stopped and tucked all her silver-white hair behind her. She handed the knife back and smiled. “It’s an amazing weapon.”

“Anything the Shaman gives is amazing.” Ye Jiu took back the combat knife, preparing to leave.

The wolf eared girl did not really like to make friends. She would always come and go alone, This was except for Shou Ya, Shan Xiong, and Bai Si, who had followed her for a long time.

“You must be close to breaking through, right?” Yue asked.

Ye Jiu stopped walking forward, slowly turning her head to ask. “You too?”

“Not yet. I was close, but after leaving the Tribe for a while, I regressed somewhat.” Yue smiled bitterly.

“…” Ye Jiu had expected something else. She did not expect the other party to say something so lacklustre.

Yue looked up at the Moon, smiling as she asked. “Have you forgotten me so quickly?”

Ye Jiu was stunned, not understanding what she meant. She narrowed her grey eyes to ask. “Forgot about you?”

Yue lowered her head, her red lips parting, “Do you remember giving some dried meat to a little girl whose hair had been cut short? A crying little girl who couldn’t find her way home?”

Yue was not originally from the Flame Dragon Tribe either. She came from a destroyed Tribe. Before entering the Flame Dragon Tribe, she had met the wolf eared girl, surviving on the dried meat she had given until reaching the Flame Dragon Tribe.

Ye Jiu quickly searched through her memories, her grey eyes suddenly widening. “It’s you?”

That crying child covered in dirt, with messy short hair, had actually become so beautiful?

“Yes! I’ve never forgotten you.” Yue smiled.

At first, she was not sure if the wolf eared girl was that person from her childhood, but after some time, she could feel it was her.
