Chapter 867 Yellow Sheep Shaman
As soon as Fu Qingzhou saw the middle-aged woman, he knew she was a shaman.

It's nothing, her dressing style is just too rigid... She even has a sheep's head on her head, and the horns are standing tall and proud.

But she was different from other shamans Fu Qingzhou had met - she looked very rich and clean.

The sheep head and horns on her head were inlaid with circles of dazzling gold edges, and a yellow gem was hung between the eyebrows of the sheep head... As for her robe, it was made of silk with a cloud pattern outlined with gold thread, and those belts and boots were all made of the finest sheepskin.

"It's you, the Yellow Sheep Shaman, Zulaiha."

Situ Chong raised his head and called out her name calmly: "You are our honored guest, but this girl is also a guest, please do not disturb her transaction."

Zulayha ignored him.

She just walked forward with slow steps, her eyes always fixed on Aiguli.

Ever since the so-called Yellow Sheep Shaman shouted out what was in the treasure chest, Aiguli had become tense.

At this moment, she was frightened by the stares, and finally couldn't hold back any longer. She gritted her teeth and said, "Master Shaman, I...we have no other choice!"

"What do you mean there is no other way?"

Zuleiha walked to the counter with a stern face and closed the box with his hand. "This is the foundation of your tribe and clan's continuation! Without it, you will be expelled from the Ancestral Hall!"

"..."

Aiguli gritted her teeth, lowered her head, and dared not speak.

"Go back to your tribe!" Zulaiha said coldly, "If this happens again, I will report it to the Ancestral Hall and expel your tribe from the Yi Kingdom!"

Aiguli was scolded so hard that she broke out in cold sweats, but she still gritted her teeth stubbornly and did not move.

"how?"

Seeing her like this, Zulaiha narrowed her eyes and said, "Don't want to?"

"Master Yellow Sheep Shaman."

Situ Chong said slowly, "This is the Xingyun Chamber of Commerce, not your ancestral temple. This girl is our guest, you have no right to drive her away."

"Ah."

Zulaiha sneered, "Your Xingyun Chamber of Commerce is nothing but a lost dog driven away by the Yan Kingdom. You stayed in Dayi with the money you paid for your life! The land under your feet also belongs to Dayi and the ancestors!"

At some point, the atmosphere in the first-floor lobby of the Nebula Chamber of Commerce had dropped to freezing point.

Some guests who didn't want to cause trouble had quietly left, but many people still stood silently behind Zulayha.

It can be seen that she has a noble identity and extraordinary status, and is definitely not just a shaman.

Situ Chong's face turned slightly cold.

He wanted to say something else, but Ayiguli couldn't hold back any longer and blurted out, "We don't even have a shaman in our tribe. These things are useless! If we don't sell them, everyone in our tribe will die!"

Zulayha frowned slightly.

"Not a single drop of rain has fallen over our tribe this year! We have to buy all our water! We have to boil a piece of meat bone for ten days! The soup is fed to everyone in the tribe! Even so, we can only eat one meal a day!"

Aiguli cried out in anger, "My mother is dead! She died of starvation! She was already ill, and the soup was not enough! When she died, she was as light as a leaf!"

"The children in the tribe don't even know what meat tastes like! We feed them scraps of meat from bones, but they say it's not meat! They only know the taste of watery broth, not meat at all!"

Her voice echoed in the lobby on the first floor of the Nebula Chamber of Commerce for a long time.

Situ Chong sighed deeply, and the faces of some other guests also turned ugly.

But after Zulayha was silent for a moment, he snorted coldly.

"Hmph." She said in a deep voice: "How much money can you get from selling the Scorpion Spirit Relic? Who would want this thing without your Sand Scorpion Tribe? Is the price given by the Nebula Chamber of Commerce enough for you to buy food for a few days? How short-sighted!"

Zulaiha said sternly, "The Great Khan has already issued an order that all tribe members who send soldiers, regardless of gender or age, will be given half a stone of grain and ten pounds of meat for every soldier they send! Don't tell me that there is no one left in your tribe to serve as a soldier?!"

"If you have made military achievements, countless rewards are waiting for you!"

"Hehe, hehe..."

Aiguli smiled bitterly and said, "Three years ago, my brother went to the front line! Now in our tribe, the oldest child is only twelve years old, and the youngest is fifty-eight years old! Do you think we still have people who can serve as soldiers?"

Zulaiha’s face changed slightly.

"enough."

Situ Chong said slowly: "Little girl, what do you want to exchange these things for? Money or food?"

"No, neither."

Ayiguli turned to look at him and lowered her head: "Neither, I want twenty pearls."

"Twenty pearls?" Everyone was shocked.

Zulaiha frowned even more tightly: "You described the tribe as being in such a tragic situation, but you want to exchange it for pearls?"

"Ah."

Ayiguli nodded and said in a calm tone: "A shaman came to our tribe. He said that if we give him pearls, he can pray for heavy rain for us for several days."

"It's spring now. With the rain, the pastures around us will have grass, and the dry rivers will have water again... We can go to other tribes and borrow a few lambs and foals. As long as they can grow up, everything will be fine. When they give birth to pups again and we repay our debts, the tribe will get better and better."

Zulayha's expression became even weirder as she heard her words.

"Pray for a heavy rain?"

Her tone rose slightly: "Even I can't say I can pray for such a rain, where can a shaman have such ability?"

"That's none of your business." Aiguli said coldly.

After that, she pushed the box towards Situ Chong and said, "Twenty pearls, is that enough?"

"It's enough, I can give you some more food..."

Situ Chong frowned and stroked his beard: "But little girl, are you sure you haven't been deceived?"

"Maybe he's a liar."

Aiguli lowered her eyes and whispered, "This is also the last hope of our tribe... At worst, we will all die."

Situ Chong sighed and took the box: "Okay."

"and many more!"

Just then, Zulayha spoke again.

Situ Chong and Ayiguli both cast slightly indignant glances at her.

"I paid for these pearls," Zulaiha said coldly, "You can take the Scorpion Spirit's relics back with you... but I want to go with you to the Sand Scorpion Tribe to see who that liar is!"

Ayiguli was stunned.

"Don't you understand what people are saying?"

Zulaiha sneered: "Do you really want your tribe to be expelled from the Ancestral Hall?"
