Chapter 152: Chapter 154: Su Nuannuan’s Burden of Humiliation

The clay Su Luoluo had found before was red. Following that lead, Su Nuannuan had searched the large and small forests of Fengqi Mountain for a long time, but she never found that red clay.

The fastest way to solve this problem was to go to the place where Su Luoluo had taken them to find clay for pottery.

The only problem was that people from the Wolf Clan Tribe frequented that place. If she went, she would easily be discovered.

She had gone through so much trouble to escape and find a place to live. She had no desire to be captured and dragged back.

Fortunately, she managed to find a type of clay she could use to make pottery. Although the bowls she made looked a bit rough, they at least resembled the things she had made back in the Wolf Clan Tribe.

It just wasn’t suitable for making larger items like water vats, as they would crack. However, it was more than enough to fool these clueless Black Pig Beastmen.

After all, the Black Pig Beastmen were still using stone basins and bowls, having never used anything better. Just seeing things made of mud that could hold water and be used for cooking was enough to astonish them for a lifetime.

If she could have found a Salt Well, Su Nuannuan would have loved to demonstrate how to purify salt for these unspeakably ugly Black Pig Clan People.

After all, salt was an incredibly precious resource. If she mastered the technique for purifying it, she could at least become a deputy leader in the Black Pig Tribe.

’But there’s no rush. The day will come when I find the Salt Well Su Luoluo discovered.’

Just as she had expected, once the pottery was made, it was instantly sought after by the Black Pig Clan People.

"Nuannuan, you’re so amazing! To think you can make a pot out of mud."

"That’s right! Nuannuan, you’re so clever. This pot made of mud is so much better than our stone ones. It’s not bulky at all."

"Exactly. I just tried boiling water with it, and it was much faster than using a stone pot."

...

Seeing the admiration and praise from the Black Pig People, Su Nuannuan couldn’t help but feel smug.

’This is the real Su Nuannuan,’ she thought. ’All the glory should belong to me. I’m the one everyone is supposed to love.’

’The people of the Black Pig Tribe may be a bit uglier than those from the Wolf Clan Tribe, but they are much kinder than the Wolf Clan People.’

After listening quietly to their praise, Su Nuannuan said with feigned modesty, "Actually, it’s very simple to make. Anyone can do it."

"Nuannuan, you’re being too modest. If everyone could do it, why haven’t we figured it out?" Hei Feng said, disagreeing. He looked at Su Nuannuan with an ardent gaze.

"The leader is right. Nuannuan, you’re just incredible."

Su Nuannuan shyly brushed the hair from her ear and said to the beastmen surrounding her, "It really is simple, I’m not lying. I’ll teach you all tomorrow. That way, everyone in the tribe will be able to use pottery."

At these words, everyone in the Black Pig Tribe grew incredibly excited. All the beastmen, both female and male, swarmed toward Su Nuannuan, cheering with wide smiles.

"Nuannuan is amazing!"

After a while, the cheering died down, and someone in the crowd of beastmen piped up, "Nuannuan has brought us so many good things since she arrived in our tribe. We should thank her."

"Yes, we should thank her."

"So how should we thank her?"

"She can cook chicken in mud and make exquisite pottery bowls from mud. I think she’s really good with mud. How about we give her some dirt?"

"That’s a great idea! Let’s give Nuannuan some dirt!"

The corner of Su Nuannuan’s mouth twitched when she heard this. ’Who thanks someone by giving them dirt?’ she thought.

She was about to refuse, but Hei Feng looked at her gently and said, "Nuannuan, I know you’re reluctant to accept because you feel this dirt is too precious, but it’s a small token of our tribe’s gratitude. I hope you’ll take it."

The words died on her lips. Hearing this, she had no choice but to force a smile. "I’d be delighted to accept. Thank you for your kindness."

When Su Nuannuan returned to her hut that night, she found a large pile of dirt stacked in front of it. She frowned at the black soil, covering her nose in disgust.

But then she figured so much dirt would be useful for making pottery and beggar’s chicken, so she managed to console herself.

She changed into a Beast Skin Skirt and went to a patch of flowers.

Hei Feng had said he had something to tell her.

’If I’m not mistaken,’ she thought, ’he’s probably going to confess to me.’

’But I don’t plan on accepting him right away. Beastmen are base creatures; they don’t cherish what they get too easily. I need to slowly work my way into Hei Feng’s heart, making him fall for me step by step.’

Although Hei Feng was the leader of the Black Pig Clan, he had never formed a totem contract with a female, so he was currently single.

Even though many females in the tribe tried to win his favor, he felt none of them were worthy of him, so he had remained without a female of his own.

From the moment Su Nuannuan had woken up and looked at him, his heart had been pounding uncontrollably. DONG DONG DONG. He had never seen such a beautiful female—jet-black hair, skin as white as snow, and a smile as gentle as a goddess.

’This is the kind of female I’ve been looking for.’

In the distance, a slender figure stood gracefully amidst the flowers, and the sight made his heart flutter.

He tugged at his Beast Skin Skirt, making sure it was straight, then walked toward the slender figure. Seeing Su Nuannuan turn around, he gazed at her with adoration, swallowed hard, and asked, "Nuannuan, will you become my female?"

Su Nuannuan gave him a shy glance, then turned her back, appearing very embarrassed.

Hei Feng pressed his lips together. After a moment’s pause, he turned Su Nuannuan back around to face him. "Nuannuan, you don’t want to?"

Su Nuannuan bit her lip, looking pitifully vulnerable. "Hei Feng, you’re a good person... but I don’t know you very well yet."

As the tribe’s leader, Hei Feng had never been rejected before. He seemed disappointed by her words and fell silent for a long time.

Su Nuannuan quickly glanced up at him, then bashfully gave his cheek a quick kiss.

Being kissed, Hei Feng’s eyes instantly lit up.

Su Nuannuan thought that would be the end of it, but to her surprise, Hei Feng nodded cheerfully, then lowered his head and pressed his lips to hers.

As his lips pressed against hers, Su Nuannuan felt like she was about to suffocate.

’Hei Feng is decent-looking enough, so why does his mouth stink so badly?’

’If it weren’t for the fact that he’s a Level 4 Beast Rank and a clan leader, I would never put up with this.’

She let him kiss her for a short while before pushing him away. "Hei Feng, it’s getting late. I need to go to sleep."

Hearing this, Hei Feng reluctantly released her and gazed at her affectionately. "Nuannuan, I will definitely prove myself to you."

Nuannuan nodded and walked away.

Once Hei Feng was completely out of sight, she finally couldn’t hold it back any longer. Clutching her chest, she vomited until only bile came up.

’That Hei Feng’s mouth stinks like feet that haven’t been washed in three days.’
