Chapter 115
“!!!”
His Majesty Xiao Changye jolted violently.
He had heard it clearly-a sharp ripping sound from right between his legs…
His underpants had been torn clean in half, each girl holding one piece.
Neither had gained an advantage. Neither had suffered a loss.
Xiao Changye: “…”
He stared blankly at the bright yellow fabric in the girls’ hands.
A long while passed.
Then he lowered his eyes and looked at his own stark-naked body.
All at once, he threw his head back and let out a roar of utter despair.
“Nooooooooo!”
The two girls put away their trophy-His Majesty’s underpants-then hoisted Xiao Changye’s naked body up and, with a splash, tossed him into the huge water barrel.
Let him soak for now!
…
Ye Piaoling and the others searched through the jungle for a long time before the trees ahead suddenly began to thin out, faintly revealing a number of round thatched huts.
“It’s the Cannibal Tribe’s village!” Ye Piaoling said in delight. “We finally found it!”
The four of them hurried forward. Outside the village, two burly men from the Cannibal Tribe were standing guard with wooden spears. When they saw a whole batch of food suddenly appear, both men froze.
One immediately ran back into the village to call for reinforcements.
The other pointed his spear at them, his face full of wariness.
Lu Yin drew his sword, but Ye Piaoling stopped him. “We need to ask the Cannibal Tribe about Ghost Po’s whereabouts. Unless we have no other choice, don’t hurt them. Otherwise, this grudge will be hard to resolve.”
Di Xiulan nodded. That was what he had in mind as well.
Ye Piaoling said, “Let me try communicating with them first.”
Wearing a friendly smile, she walked up to the burly man from the Cannibal Tribe.
She had no idea what language these members of the Cannibal Tribe spoke, so Ye Piaoling simply tried them all. She waved in greeting and smiled.
“Moshi moshi, hello oppa, my name is Yepiaoling. We are all good people, yes? We want to ask where our teammate and Ghost Po are. Please do not hesitate to tell us. Arigato!”
At times like this, one truly understood the importance of knowing a foreign language.
The burly man from the Cannibal Tribe: “…”
He glared at Ye Piaoling for a long while, then opened his mouth. “Aba aba!”
Ye Piaoling: “Aba aba?”
The burly man from the Cannibal Tribe: “Aba aba aba!”
Ye Piaoling: “Aba aba aba? What the hell are you saying?”
The burly man from the Cannibal Tribe seemed to get angry and thrust his spear at Ye Piaoling!
Facts proved that knowing three foreign languages was still completely useless…
From the village behind him, the other men from the Cannibal Tribe also charged out aggressively with weapons in hand.
Seeing this, Ye Piaoling flashed aside and dodged the wooden spear, then nimbly circled behind the man. With a sweep of the Heart Demon Blade in her hand, the edge was already pressed against his neck!
The man instantly froze, not daring to move.
The rest of the Cannibal Tribe also stopped in alarm. With one of their own taken hostage, they did not dare act rashly.
Ye Piaoling shouted, “Aba! Find someone who can speak like a human and come negotiate!”
The members of the Cannibal Tribe looked at one another, then exchanged a round of aba-aba discussion. In this situation, they could only go invite the Great Shaman.
A short while later, an old man with feathers stuck in his hair arrived, leaning on a cane. “Honored guests, please, let us talk this over. Do not harm my tribesman!”
Ye Piaoling breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness there was someone who could speak the common tongue.
Her eyes met the old shaman’s.
The old shaman studied her carefully. A moment later, his expression suddenly changed drastically.
“Ancestor!?”
His voice trembled. He abruptly dropped to his knees before Ye Piaoling. “We welcome the Ancestor’s return!”
Ye Piaoling: ???
An-Ancestor?
What was going on lately? Why did people keep promoting her seniority by generation after generation?
Seeing this, the rest of the Cannibal Tribe hurriedly followed suit, kneeling and kowtowing.
Ye Piaoling was utterly dumbfounded.
Beside her, Hua Wuhuang and Lu Yin were also stunned. What was going on?
Only Di Xiulan looked as calm as ever. He even smiled faintly.
Ye Piaoling pointed at her own nose and asked, “When you say Ancestor, are you talking to me?”
“Yes!”
The old shaman said excitedly, “I would never mistake you. You are the Ancestor. You are our forebear!”
Ye Piaoling: “…???”
What?
She-she was the ancestor of the Cannibal Tribe!?
Ye Piaoling swore to the heavens that she had absolutely never eaten anyone!
Although her heart was currently filled with the words are you kidding me, when she thought about how they still needed to negotiate with the Cannibal Tribe, she decided she might as well accept this identity for now…
Ye Piaoling’s eyes rolled, and she immediately cleared her throat. Pointing at the white-haired old shaman, she said, “Not bad, little brat. You’ve got sharp eyes, recognizing this Ancestor. Go on, then. How did you recognize me?”
The old shaman said respectfully, “The Ancestor’s portrait is carved on the wall of the cave. That is how this descendant recognized you.”
When Ye Piaoling heard this, she was even more shocked.
“You’re saying that you once had a cave, and inside that cave, my portrait was carved on the wall?”
The old shaman nodded. “Yes.”
Ye Piaoling suppressed the shock in her heart and pretended to be angry. “Who was so bold as to carve this Ancestor’s likeness so casually? Take me to see it at once!”
