"Yo~~"

A loud shout, accompanied by a chorus of "roars" from several hundred strong men, ignited the giant wooden frame, sending a flame over ten zhang high into the air.

The grand clan bonfire ceremony officially began.

Under the starry sky, groups of sturdy men and women, wearing animal skins and coarse cloth clothes, danced around the bonfire.

The men held hands and sang hymns of prayer for a bountiful hunt and harvest.

The women shouted a few times, symbolically jumped a few times, and then began to wrestle in pairs.

On the hillside.

According to clan tradition, Wu Wang, who was close to adulthood, wore an animal skin long shirt, opened his chest to reveal a few abs, and sat beside his parents enjoying the music and dance.

He turned his head to look at his mother.

Ah, there's light, it's so bright.

His mother sat on a unique cold jade throne, wearing a simple ice-blue fitted long dress without any extra decorations, like a new moon in the starry sky.

"Bao'er, what are you thinking about? Are you unhappy?"

A gentle voice sounded beside him, and a delicate hand, as if enveloped in soft light, reached out to touch Wu Wang's head, but then retracted.

Wu Wang looked up at his mother and gave a somewhat "innocent" smile, whispering:

"Mother, please release father first. Everyone is watching, and the leader's authority is also important."

A certain bear-shaped ice sculpture on the main seat squeezed out two tears of emotion.

This son is not in vain!

The bonfire ceremony continued, but Lin Suqing didn't go into the king's tent to mingle. Instead, she stayed outside and danced and played with a group of Bear Hug Clan girls, having a great time.

After regaining his freedom as clan leader, Xiong Han stood up and drank a jar of wine with his people, then hurriedly took them back to the tent to get down to business.

Treating an illness.

"Lady, I swear to heaven that I have no ulterior motives. I am purely trying to cure Bao'er's illness. Our Bear Hug Clan is a reputable large clan, and as the leader, I cannot set a bad example. You can rest assured that I have a handle on things..."

In the magnificent king's tent, Xiong Han scratched his head, clapped his hands, and grinned foolishly.

The generals and priests on the chairs on both sides were all submissive and accustomed to this situation.

"Family Emperor."

Wu Wang sat on the animal bone chair beside his mother, his mouth twitching uncontrollably.

He didn't know if he had accumulated virtue or incurred sin in his past life to end up with such a father in this life.

It's hard to say.

Finally, his mother reluctantly nodded and sighed, "Don't let Bao'er get too tired."

"Understood, understood, Lady. You can rest assured!"

Xiong Han finally breathed a sigh of relief, sat back in his leader's throne, and shouted loudly:

"Bring them all in!"

The leader's guards, who had been waiting outside the tent for a long time, immediately stepped forward and arranged the more than ten wooden cages wrapped in black cloth in two rows, guarding them tightly outside the king's tent.

Xiong Han proudly said, "Bao'er, you go ahead and open them one by one."

Wu Wang was too lazy to get up. There was starlight flashing in the palm of his left hand, and a precise cold wind blew through, blowing away all the black cloth and revealing the contents.

Uh, did dad accidentally reveal some personal preferences?

How come there isn't even a normal human girl?

That's right, these slaves were probably traded with those caravans. If they encountered a fellow clan member who had been captured as a slave, they would exchange them back for freedom, rather than continuing to enslave them.

However...

It's a shame not to cultivate these beast women, who have a graceful figure and tiger stripes on their faces, into warriors with such fierce eyes.The mermaid soaking in the large tub had a beautiful face, but from the neck down, she had a fish body covered in scales. How could she be a servant? And her only task was to give natural massages?

Then there were those several strong girls with thick hair and estimated weights over 600 pounds. They probably had giant bloodlines and were bought by their father to carry fierce beasts!

"Dad."

"What's wrong?"

Wu Wang frowned and said, "Get me another batch."

"Cough! Cough cough!"

An old general who was drinking almost choked and quickly shouted, "Young master, please bear with it. We only changed these this time. We didn't go to exchange them before, and we were afraid of being deceived."

Xiong Han scratched his head and muttered softly, "Don't you like them, Ba'er? You can touch them one by one first to see if there's anyone you like."

Wu Wang pondered for a moment. He was afraid that something unexpected might happen...

"Someone, bring my wheelchair number three!

Prepare a bucket of ice water and make them faint temporarily!"

The guards outside immediately responded, and soon brought the "wheelchair" designed by Wu Wang himself, along with a bucket of cold water with floating ice chips.

There was also a priest holding a crystal ball and chanting spells. The more than ten slaves who had been exchanged back each fell asleep in their cages.

The following scene was truly unbearable to watch.

Wu Wang was pushed forward in the wheelchair by the guards, and every time he touched these slaves with his fingers, he would faint and convulse a few times in the wheelchair.

Then, the guards would bring cold water and pour it carefully on the young master's face. Wu Wang would shiver a few times, open his eyes, and then be pushed towards the next wooden cage with a firm gaze.

Soon, the atmosphere inside the big tent...changed.

The generals and priests couldn't bear to look, and even the older ones were full of tears.

The young master had endured so much pain for the stability of the clan and the future glory of the Bear Hug Clan!

Xiong Han tried to maintain a smile and clutched his big hands tightly, staring at Wu Wang's back, trying to make his expression look calm, but his thick lips were still trembling.

They were too hasty with this matter.

Cang Xue's face remained unchanged. She pinched Xiong Han's soft waist with two fingers, and every time Wu Wang fainted, she would pull and twist it hard.

After Wu Wang fainted more than ten times and shivered dozens of times, Xiong Han's face turned purple.

Wu Wang wiped his face and stood up on the wheelchair. His legs were a bit shaky, and he silently walked back to his exclusive seat, lowering his head and taking a deep breath.

There was nothing shameful about daring to try.

On the side, the mother glared fiercely at Xiong Han. She was about to scold her husband, but she heard Wu Wang chuckle and say, "It seems that I treat all the sisters from different tribes equally with my strange disease."

Cang Xue softly called out, "Ba'er..."

"Mom, I'm fine."

Wu Wang waved his hand and looked at the figures in the two corners of the wooden cages who were still asleep. His gaze stopped on the two of them.

In the left corner, there was a charming young girl with fox ears and a fox tail. She was probably from the rampant Qingqiu country of slave traders.

In the right corner, there was a small curled-up figure with dark skin and a thin body due to malnutrition. It seemed that she could escape from the gaps in the wooden cage at any time.

Wu Wang said, "Keep the one with the black spot as my servant, and let my father deal with the others."

Cang Xue looked at her son and wanted to say something, but her words turned into a slight smile, and she didn't speak.

She knew her son's methods well and didn't need to worry too much.

It was the old father who was having some difficulty.

"Ba'er, do you only want one?"

Xiong Han said in a deep voice, "Then, should we give them to the generals? We've already bought them."Several strong men sitting on both sides shuddered in unison.

"Leader, we shouldn't do this!"

"This won't do, this won't do. My wife will beat me to death if I sell our servant girls."

"Should we sell them again?"

"If this gets out, won't we be laughed at by other clans? They'll think we're so poor that we bought servant girls and then sold them."

Wu Wang pondered for a moment, he wanted to help these girls, but he hesitated.

If he spoke up, these girls would be regarded as his private property within the clan; although the Bear Hug Clan was mainly composed of humans, they wouldn't discriminate against other races, and there were also a few non-human members living within the clan.

Except for the Human Realm, most of the clans and kingdoms in the Great Wasteland were mixed with various races.

Moreover, his mother was present.

As expected...

"Let them stay," Cang Xue said softly, "if we release them directly, they'll either become bones in the North Wilderness or be captured and sold as slaves again."

The chieftain nodded and agreed.

A wrinkled old priest whispered, "Leader, should we release this fish girl back into the river? She looks scary."

The fish girl, who realized she might have escaped a disaster, suddenly put on a mournful expression.

Release her? Losing her spirit would be the worst thing that could happen to a fish.

...

After the banquet, Wu Wang chatted with his parents until midnight. He and his mother secretly discussed the future development of the Star God Sect. Then, he got drunk and left with his new servant girl to his warm tent.

He ordered the guards to stand outside the door and sent someone to invite Lin Suqing over. Wu Wang carefully examined the servant girl he had chosen.

She was short, with dark skin and an unremarkable appearance. She had spiral patterns on her forehead and limbs, and dark red scars on the back of her hands, as if they had been cut by a sharp weapon.

The Rain Master Concubine Country near the Tang Valley was a well-known witchcraft country in the Great Wasteland, and its typical feature was being "black." This girl's features were basically in line with that.

What interested Wu Wang was that this girl's eyes were calm and empty from beginning to end, as if there were no ripples in them.

Wu Wang had felt a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy from her before.

Although it was weak, it did exist.

"Do you have a name?" Wu Wang asked.

The girl from the Rain Master Concubine Country shook her head slightly and pursed her lips.

"Do you have something to say?" Wu Wang asked.

The girl looked at Wu Wang calmly for a while and spoke in a low, hoarse voice:

"Are you the master I'm supposed to serve?"

Wu Wang raised an eyebrow. It seemed that this girl's experience was not just being captured and enslaved.

Of course, the reason he chose this girl was not that simple either.

"Young master? Can I come in?" Lin Suqing's voice came from outside the tent. Wu Wang said she could come in.

Lin Suqing came in wearing a bright fairy dress and some makeup. She had a slight drunkenness and laughed when she saw the girl from the Rain Master Concubine Country.

"Oh my, is this the new servant girl?"

Wu Wang: ...

What kind of workplace implication is this?

"Suqing, help her wash up and let her stay with you tonight. I'll arrange a place for her tomorrow," Wu Wang said.

Lin Suqing sweetly agreed and even showed off her magic, enveloping the two of them in a magical aura and floating away.After the two left, Wu Wang waved his hand and called over two trusted guards. He whispered a few words to them, and the two burly men immediately obeyed.

Staring at the empty tent, Wu Wang pondered for a moment and tapped his fingers on the table.

Lin Suqing should be fine on her end, at least she has the cultivation of the Returning to Origin realm.

But he should focus on the most important matter.

"Sigh, still haven't found a chance to talk to my old father."

Although his father's strength was strong, like the North Wilderness priests, his lifespan did not increase, only reaching a level of four to six hundred years old.

Now his parents were both in their two hundreds, his father in his prime and his mother still beautiful and alluring.

If they were any older, it would be more difficult to have a second child.

Opening a piece of parchment and picking up his homemade wolf-hair brush, Wu Wang contemplated for a moment and prepared to make a detailed plan to ensure that his strange illness would not affect the stability of the clan in the absence of a younger brother or sister.

He had some attachment to this place.

However, just as he picked up his brush and was about to write down two big characters, a sudden commotion came from outside the tent.

"Stop! Let go of Miss Lin!"

"There's an assassin!"

"Protect the young master!"

Wu Wang casually tapped the crystal ball on the table and watched the image that appeared inside. He also confirmed it with his spiritual sense, then opened his mouth speechlessly and powerlessly, unable to express his thoughts. He could only hold his forehead with one hand and pinch his temples with the other.

In front of Lin Suqing's tent, the thin little girl held a short sword and held Lin Suqing hostage, quickly moving towards his big tent.

Lin Suqing's expression was quite despondent, her lips trembling and her eyes gradually losing their luster.

What is this!?

Sister, you're already in the middle stage of the Condensing Elixir realm...

He always felt like Auntie was staying with him mainly to mooch off of him.
