On the night before attending the trade fair, Yu Yao and Mo Jue lay in bed discussing who to send.
Mo Jue is the strongest of the beastmen in the tribe, and he must be sent.
Leng Sang, Yin Xiao, Nanzé, and some fifth-level fighters from the tribe will also go.
Yu Yao also wanted to go, but Mo Jue flatly refused.
The reason is that it's not safe on the way.
But Yu Yao really wants to go.
To see the world.
Second, it's also a good opportunity to see if there will be any useful things at the trade fair.
For example, hemp, silk, or cotton and rice.
These are all necessities of life. She had asked the beasts of her tribe to keep an eye out, but there has been no news yet.
"Let me go, you don't know some of the things, what if you miss good things?"
Yu Yao stubbornly stared at the man in front of her.
"Just tell me what you need, I'll keep an eye out for it when the time comes, and we can trade it back."
Mo Jue stared at her firmly, not convinced.
Every year, there are roaming beasts of the tribe who plunder the road to the trade fair. Once they strike, they may not be able to look after her.
"I want to trade for anything useful, how can I describe each one clearly? Moreover, you may not even remember them all."
Seeing Mo Jue remain silent, she continued: "Don't worry about safety, I am a person who inherited the legacy of the beast god. You also saw the fire at the last time."
The beast god inheritance she is talking about is all just made up by her, it's just her magic, but it's a good excuse.
"Then why don't you show me your magic again..."
Mo Jue glanced at her, suddenly saying.
"That's fine..."
Yu Yao smiled, quickly got off the bed, and ran to the entrance of the cave, casting several fireball spells outwards.
Mo Jue naturally saw it, his eyes sparkled with surprise. He originally thought she could only cast spells occasionally.
Now it seems that it's not the case.
Learning that she had the ability to protect herself, he said no more, clearly agreeing.
Yu Yao smiled triumphantly and climbed back onto the bed.
They rolled together, just like conjoined twins.
In fact, as a priestess, Yu Yao naturally holds a higher position of power and status than Mo Jue. If she really wanted to go, she wouldn't have needed to ask Mo Jue at all.
However, as partners, it is better to seek each other's consent for some things, which is also a form of respect.
"Yao, these days have been too busy, we haven't…"
Mo Jue looked at her, the ink in his eyes churning, his voice hoarse.
He had thought of it several times, but every time he saw her tired face, he felt a bit unwilling to disturb her.
Tonight, we should be able to, right…?
Yu Yao blinked her eyes, looking at the man in front of her, blushing and seeking affection, she also felt that she had neglected him during this time.
She thought for a moment, then agreed.
The main reason is that she had been thinking about it herself…
Almost as soon as she nodded, a pair of cold hands reached her waist, sending a shiver through her even through her clothes.
Gosh, no wonder it's a snake. It's so cold during the summer season, what about the winter season?
Mo Jue's hand hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to pull it back, but Yu Yao grabbed it with her hand.
Why would you even want to run? Where would you go?
Don't think about running until you've served your mistress properly…
Mo Jue hesitated for a moment, then let out a low laugh, his expression extremely pleased.
"I didn't want to run, I just worried about freezing you!"
After speaking, the cold body pressed down.
She widened her eyes, but could only see an indistinct silhouette.
Gradually, the sounds of the cave became increasingly heart-pumping…
The next morning, Yu Yao's eyes felt like they were stuck shut, her whole body ached terribly, and she was so soft as noodles that she didn't want to get up at all.
Mo Jue left early in the morning to arrange things. Today was the day for the trade fair, and many things needed his attention.
He just came back to the cave and saw her in this condition.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself last night!"
He walked to the bed and gently stroked her face, his eyes reflecting a look of concern.
"Don't talk nonsense, give me a massage to my waist…"
Yu Yao glared at him, turned over, and lay on the bed, letting him massage her.
"That's it... just here..."
Yu Yao closed her eyes in comfort.
Mo Jue gently massaged her waist and said honestly that he had already restrained himself.
As a snake-like beastman, he possesses exceptional talent in this area, and it is naturally very enjoyable to be close to his partner.
Who would have thought that he was so happy that she fainted…
He was still very happy.
"Shall I not go to the trade fair with you?"
Mo Jue looked at her in her exhausted state and felt sorry for her.
"I can't do that, I have to go!"
Yu Yao no longer allowed him to massage her, her back wasn't sore anymore, and her legs didn't hurt. She quickly got up from the bed.
She left with such a fierce and powerful stride.
Of course, as long as her legs don't shake.
Mo Jue held back a laugh. Seeing her like this, he really couldn't bear to reject her request.
"Let me carry you out then?"
Mo Jue walked over and reached out to pick her up.
"Oh no, don't do that... people will laugh if they see you like that."
Yu Yao hurriedly stopped him and went to wash up.
After washing her face, she came back to find that Mo Jue had already left, and there was a bowl of wild vegetable and meat soup and several roasted sweet potatoes on the table.
Knowing that those were the morning preparations made by Mo Jue for her.
She smiled and sat on the chair to eat it.
The sweet potatoes were very fragrant when roasted, and they were quite nice with the wild vegetable and meat soup.
After finishing, she washed the bowl and left the cave.
The beastmen going to the trade fair were fully prepared, and all the pottery they were going to trade were also packed.
They were loaded onto wooden carts and securely tied down with tough vines.
The wooden cart was made by the beastmen of the tribe when she asked them to make salt stones last time.
There were about seven or eight of them. Now they were coming in handy.
Yu Yao checked them and found everything was in order. She then asked the beasts to bring some animal skins to cover the pottery on the wooden carts.
To avoid attracting unnecessary trouble from other tribe's beasts seeing them on the way.
The group set off quickly, with more than twenty beasts going.
There were eight fifth-level warriors, with the rest being fourth-level.
Of course, Mo Jue, the leader, was a seventh-level warrior.
The group was not particularly strong, but it was not weak either.
In fact, it's not necessary to send so many people for the trade, but to be cautious against any unexpected incidents, more hands are safer.
If there is a conflict with another tribe, we will not be at a disadvantage in fighting.
Mo Jue picked Yu Yao up and placed her on the board, then gave the order to start.
At first, Yu Yao felt a bit embarrassed about being the only one sitting in the wooden cart while the other beasts walked.
Seeing everyone acting as if it was natural, she also put her mind at ease.
"Oh, Mo Jue, I have not asked you yet. Where is the location of the trade fair?"
During the journey to the trade fair, Yu Yao couldn't help but ask Mo Jue, who was walking beside her.
Mo Jue looked at her and explained, "The location of the trade fair is in the Sunset Valley, which is close to the Lion Tribe. Of course, it is managed and hosted by the Lion Tribe!"
"Is it there every year, or only this year?"
Yu Yao asked again.
She knew the Lion Tribe. According to her, the tribe has a seventh-level warrior, three sixth-level warriors, and more fifth-level warriors.
It's the strongest tribe in this area.
It's not strange that the trade fair is arranged at the Lion Tribe.
"Mm, over the past few years, it has always been arranged there. The Lion Tribe is the strongest, and no other tribes have any objections to it."
Mo Jue's eyes flashed with a trace of sadness, and he also explained.
Who doesn't want their own tribe to host the trade fair, but it's all about strength.
However, their Black Snake Tribe is not weak either. In the near future, they will catch up with the Lion Tribe in terms of strength.
Yu Yao nodded slightly, understanding it more clearly in her heart.
But she said nothing.
