Nothing is more appealing to the beastmen than the words "no worries about food and drink"!

The orcs present were deeply moved and raised their arms in response.

"If we work together, we'll have plenty to eat and wear!"

"We will all listen to the priest!"

Upon hearing the second sentence, Xu Wan's smile froze on her face, and her heart skipped a beat.

When Yin Ge heard the beastmen say that, did she think that Yin Ge wanted to usurp the throne?

She quickly raised her hand and pressed it down, "Ahem, alright, alright, everyone disperse."

If she keeps shouting, those who know her will think she's calling for the priestess, while those who don't will think she's the next clan leader.

Just as she was thinking of ways to salvage the situation, she heard someone calling her.

"Priest, the chieftain has sent someone to see you."

"..."

She said that one shouldn't be too high-profile, and it would be better to just be a wicked woman honestly.

She patted the rabbit spirit on the shoulder, "You guys discuss how to divide the food later, I'm going over first."

All the way, she kept thinking about how to explain to Yinge that she had absolutely no intention of usurping power.

When she saw Eung-ge, she was so nervous that she didn't know what to do with her hands and called out cautiously.

"Chieftain..."

Yin Ge nodded and rubbed her temples.

"You punished the rabbit spirit and her male?"

"Yes, they are hindering the development of the tribe, and as a priest, I cannot ignore it."

She wasn't guilty; she hadn't done anything wrong. She just didn't know if the other person would think she was overstepping her bounds.

Yin Ge simply shook her head, "You..."

He doesn't seem angry.

She had just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the other person's next words, and she was completely stunned.

"What do you mean I'm taking over the clan chief's position right after returning from the prayer ceremony?!"

Her voice was so loud that even the usually quiet Yin Ge frowned.

"You're a priest now, how can you still be so unreliable?"

"I... am not... this..."

Xu Wan scratched her hair and then darted over to Yinge and squatted down.

"Chieftain, I... I said those things just now so that everyone could contribute more to the tribe. I really didn't mean to take your place."

She spoke quickly and urgently, as if afraid that she would be dragged away and beaten to death before she could finish speaking.

I don't know how many scenes from palace dramas flashed through my mind.

She was beginning to regret her impulsive decision to imitate Chen Shuang and the others' chants.

Yin Ge looked at her face, which seemed to change eight hundred expressions in the blink of an eye, and sighed helplessly.

"What are you thinking about?"

She reached out and touched Xu Wan's head, smoothing out her messy hair.

"I'm getting old, who knows, maybe one day I'll..."

"No, no, no, you look like someone who will live a long life; living another three hundred years wouldn't be a problem!"

Xu Wan was about to cry. She knew this phrase well; it was used to test people in palace dramas and workplace dramas.

She now wished she could swear to Yinge that she really only wanted to lie down and save her life, and had absolutely no intention of climbing the social ladder!

swear?

Her eyes lit up, and she immediately stretched out her hand, "I swear to the progenitor, I absolutely did not..."

Yin Ge was getting a headache from her noise, so she reached out and grabbed a berry and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Be serious, I'm not kidding."

Only after confirming that there was no probing intent on her face did she obediently nod and stand up.

She walked behind Yinge and pressed her fingertips on her temples.

"Let me rub it for you, and your headache will feel better. Tell me what's wrong, I'm listening."

Feeling that her headache had indeed eased considerably, Yin Ge finally spoke again.

"I'm getting old, and I'm finding it increasingly difficult to manage the affairs of the tribe. It's time to find the next chieftain."

She paused her massage. "Then why not see a witch doctor?"

Yinge smiled. "You think I haven't told you? She's only interested in herbs. I've been telling her this since before you were born. After all these years, I'm tired of it."

She patted Xu Wan's hand and pulled her in front of her.

"I have been guarding the rabbit tribe for almost a hundred years. It is more important to me than anything else. I must hand it over to someone more suitable than myself."

"But... how do you know I can do it well?"

Yin Ge raised her hand and touched her face, with a hint of unspoken certainty.

"I just know."

"you……"

Why be so hasty? They just informed her that she would become the next clan leader without even telling her the reason.

"Don't worry, there won't be anyone more suitable than you."

She still wanted to know the answer, "Why?"

Yin Ge shook her head and changed the subject.

"You'll be in charge of the tribal assembly tomorrow night."

"W-So fast?"

And it seems she didn't agree to be the clan leader. Is it too late for her to refuse?

But when she met Yinge's gaze, she silently swallowed her words.

She respects the elderly and cares for the young; she is a model young woman in society.

"Then, could you teach me first? I have no experience."

*

Fearing she would mess things up and embarrass Yin Ge, Xu Wan felt she was putting in the same effort she had when she was competing for the project leader position.

She pulled in three beastmen, along with the rabbit spirit and the rabbit orchid family, to serve as free labor.

"This won't work, change it to this one."

"Wait, wait, these two foods can't be put together..."

Chen Shuang carried a cow to the ground and looked at the little female who was busy not far away.

"Why do I feel like Wanwan is a completely different person?"

He turned to look at Zhu You, "What did the clan leader say to Wanwan? Why hasn't she been sleeping since she came back?"

Not only did she not sleep, she also took a twig and drew lines on the ground, seemingly writing something.

He went up to her and asked, but she only told him that it was her plan.

A plan? He only saw a bunch of crooked lines, how could he tell it was a plan?

As darkness fell and more and more orcs began to approach, Xu Wan and her group finally managed to finish up their work.

Whether here or in modern times, the first item on the agenda at any conference is always a speech.

The advantage, however, is that the beastmen don't understand it and are too lazy to listen to those high-sounding platitudes, so she can get straight to the point.

She's going to a prayer ceremony with Yun Shu and won't be back for almost three months.

Before leaving, she needed to sort out a few important matters at hand.

She explained how to preserve taro and sweet potatoes, and everyone nodded in agreement; she also mentioned the salt mine development plan, and many people expressed their willingness to participate.

But when she suggested that the orcs living in the caves build houses and construct walls around the tribe, the voices of approval gradually dwindled.

"Priest, we've always lived in the cave, why are we moving out?"

"There are also fox tribes and other clans around here. They said they would protect us if we were in danger, so there's no need for city walls..."

Xu Wan sighed. She knew it; they had been in the protection center for so long that they had no sense of being prepared for danger in times of peace.

But it doesn't matter, she has it. Let her, someone who has received a modern education, instill some new ideas in them!
