Chapter 908: Chapter 897: Beastman Plane 17

The Priest and the Clan Leader exchanged a glance after hearing her words.

"We’ll think about this idea and get back to you, thank you for introducing it to us. Then we won’t disturb you any longer," the Priest suggested, proposing to take their leave.

"It’s no bother, you’re also doing this for the tribe. If there’s anything you don’t understand or are concerned about, you can come and ask us again," Wei Se said, shaking his head.

"Alright, thank you," the Priest nodded in approval and left Yan Mo’s house with the Clan Leader.

Other Beastmen felt the warmth of the heated kang after they left and found it quite satisfactory. Though it was not as spacious as a cave, its key advantage was warmth, which was of utmost importance during winter.

"What about when it gets hot in summer?" a Sub-Beastman suddenly asked.

"In the summer, you just need to plug the pipes connecting the kitchen with the rooms with something, and that way the hot air won’t get into the rooms," Wei Se explained, smiling at the question finally being asked.

"Oh, it seems this house is really good," joy flickered in the Sub-Beastman’s eyes. Cool in summer, warm in winter—this thing called a house was truly excellent.

After nearly everyone had a chance to look around, those Beastmen and Sub-Beastmen left, and in less than an hour, other Beastmen came running to visit.

Seeing the large crowd, Xia Yue asked them to come in groups since the room was not big enough to accommodate everyone at once.

After four days, the Beastmen finally finished hosting all the curious visitors.

In the meantime, the Clan Leader and the Priest gathered the tribe for a meeting, intending to build a house first for the tribe’s elderly and children, and asked for everyone’s opinion.

Those who had seen the house were in favor, and those who had not, although they disapproved, could not articulate their objections.

The Priest and the Clan Leader told them to go see the house and then express their opinions.

After visiting, opinions were solicited again.

This time, most of the Beastmen agreed to build one first.

Once it was decided to build a house, the Clan Leader invited Yan Mo and the other three to come over and asked for their input.

Yan Mo felt that Wei Se knew more, especially about things needed in this world, and suggested she act as the representative.

Wei Se naturally didn’t refuse, as she was well-versed in such matters.

She helped them choose a location and then directed a group of people to follow Yan Mo to cut trees and move stones, another group to make mud bricks with Xia Yue, another group to collect dry grass and make cloth with Ziluo - which would later be used to cover the surface of the kang - and a group to start learning from her how to build walls, dig the underfloor heating, and lay out the kang.

The Clan Leader saw her organized plan and, following her suggestions, let Yan Mo and the others pick their own teams to work with.

The tribe’s people were also enthusiastic, following Yan Mo and his group’s lead as they worked with fervor.

"I heard you also understand cultivation and medical skills?" While Wei Se was teaching others, watching over them as they worked on their own, the Priest also came to observe and then asked.

"I do," Wei Se nodded in confirmation.

"Some time ago, Hu Ya told me you instructed them to bring some edible species. I’ve tried some and indeed they taste good. Hu Ya mentioned that you could teach us how to cultivate," the Priest continued, looking at her.

"The sweeter one is called sweet potato, and the other is called potato. Both are high-yielding food crops. If cultivated well and stored properly, there will be no need to worry about starving in the winter. Additionally, there are many ways to prepare potatoes."

"If you are interested, when spring comes, I can teach you how to plant them. Neither of these two crops are very demanding in terms of growing conditions," Wei Se continued, nodding while speaking to him.

"This should be very important. Why are you so willing to teach us so readily, including about the house?" The Priest asked, his tone probing.

He didn’t think this was a good thing; there was always a feeling that freebies would end up costing dearly.

Lord Wu Se didn’t answer him right away but looked him in the eyes instead.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" The Priest felt uncomfortable under her gaze, as if during a sacred ritual, he was being watched by the Beast God himself.

"As a Priest, you should have noticed that the weather has been changing these past few years," Lord Wu Se looked up at the sky and spoke in a wistful tone.

The Priest’s heart skipped a beat and a flash of panic crossed his eyes.

"The Ice Age is approaching. Relying on hunting and gathering to store food simply won’t allow the Tribe to get through the increasingly longer winters.

You should be well aware of what awaits the Tribe then.

Praying to the gods is futile; even the gods cannot conjure food out of thin air. To have enough food, you must change the current way of acquiring it and provide for yourselves".

"I’ll teach you farming, but whether you can survive on your own will depend on you."

Lord Wu Se’s words were profound, as if she had said nothing yet everything.

The Priest was momentarily shocked by her words.

Then he thought about how they differed from him.

"Are you messengers sent by the Beast God to save us?" the Priest asked softly.

Lord Wu Se turned her head and smiled at him.

"Lord Priest, there’s nothing for you here at the moment, you may want to check on the other areas," Lord Wu Se told him.

"I understand, I understand. After spring arrives, please teach us about farming, Lord Wu Se," said the Priest with a hint of respect in his voice.

"If you wish to learn, we will certainly teach you earnestly," Lord Wu Se nodded and replied.

"I understand; I’ll ensure they learn well. Well then, Lord Wu Se, I’ll go and check on the other places, and leave this area to your care," the Priest said respectfully, nodding continuously before leaving Lord Wu Se.

Watching his departing figure, Lord Wu Se felt that the first mission was halfway to completion. Indeed, in such an untutored world, the identity of a god was the best to utilise.

After a busy day of work, the four returned home for dinner.

"Today, I led the Priest to believe that we are messengers sent by the Beast God to rescue them, which will make our future work easier," Lord Wu Se told them.

"Ah? He believed that?" Xia Yue asked in surprise.

Coming from a different living environment, Xia Yue didn’t quite understand their blind faith in gods. To hear that the Priest accepted so simply that Wu Se was a divine envoy was astounding.

"He did. As long as we can produce some results, our subsequent actions will be more convenient," Lord Wu Se nodded in response.

"Well, that’s good. I thought we would have to do a lot more to gain their trust," Xia Yue said happily.

"The Priests here are somewhat capable; they know the Ice Age is nearing. They are out of options, so our suggestions to help them through the winter will most likely lead them to believe in us," Lord Wu Se explained.

"I heard that the Priests here can sense the presence of their Beast God and that it’s the Beast God who gives them hints?" Yan Mo asked, somewhat curiously.
