Chapter 347 Mutual Gift
After expressing their gratitude profusely, Awei and the hunchbacked old man warmly invited Xiao Wanwan to stay for a while.
They can also treat us well to show their gratitude!
Unable to refuse the kind invitation, Xiao Wanwan had to stay for a while.
A group of elderly, weak, women and children were properly accommodated. Many young and middle-aged people dealt with the monsters they hunted, while others began to repair the collapsed wooden houses.
Xiao Wanwan chatted with the hunchbacked old man while watching everyone busy at work.
"Goddess, our tribe is called Cangyi. According to legend, we, the Cangyi, were once servants of the gods. Unfortunately, we have all been forgotten by the gods."
The hunchbacked old man looked into the distance with a distant gaze, his eyes full of sadness.
Xiao Wanwan obviously couldn't understand this kind of sadness. She laughed dryly and tried to comfort him.
"Grandpa, one day your God will remember you."
"really?"
A startling light flashed in the hunchbacked old man's eyes, and he looked at Xiao Wanwan with a burning gaze.
“Will God really remember us?”
Xiao Wanwan was a little embarrassed and avoided the hunchbacked old man's gaze. She just casually offered comfort.
At this time, Awei came from not far away, grinning and revealing his snow-white teeth.
"Goddess, Grandpa! Let's go sit by the bonfire. We'll start grilling soon."
Every time the Cangyi tribe came back from hunting, each household would share some of the spoils.
This time, in order to thank the goddess for saving him, he specially prepared a bonfire barbecue.
"Good good..."
The hunchbacked old man was in a very good mood at this time. With the help of Awei, he stood up and turned to look at Xiao Wanwan.
"Goddess, our Cangyi tribe hasn't held a bonfire party for a long time. Please!"
Xiao Wanwan smiled casually, stood up, and walked to a large open space with the hunchbacked old man and Awei.
Several piles of firewood were set up in the middle of the open space, and the flames were now burning brightly.
A group of young men and women were singing and dancing around the bonfire, which looked very lively.
"Goddess, please!"
The hunchbacked old man respectfully invited Xiao Wanwan to sit in the main seat, and he sat next to her.
"Okay, thank you, Grandpa!"
Xiao Wanwan thanked him and watched with interest the young men and women singing and dancing in the middle.
The hunchbacked old man smiled and looked at the field with a kind look.
"Goddess, our Cangyi tribe only holds bonfire parties on special days."
“It’s fun!”
Xiao Wanwan smiled widely, and after looking for a moment she realized this.
She found it incredible that the people in the Cangyi tribe were all ordinary people with no cultivation.
Because in the fairyland, most children are born into the fairyland.
There are very few people who have no cultivation at all.
However, all the people of the Cangyi tribe, regardless of gender, are tall and strong.
Xiao Wanwan understood why the people of the Cangyi tribe hid in the mountains.
In this fairyland where the strong are respected and the weak are preyed upon by the strong.
If this group of people appeared somewhere else, they would definitely suffer humiliation.
Awei had a simple and honest smile on his face, and strode over with a pot of fragrant, golden and crispy roasted monster meat in his hands.
The monster meat in the pot was still sizzling, emitting a mouth-watering aroma.
Walking closer, Awei carefully placed the pot of monster meat in front of Xiao Wanwan, bowed slightly, and his tone was full of respect.
"Goddess, please try our roasted monster meat."
After saying this, he stood quietly aside, looking at Xiao Wanwan with anticipation.
The hunchbacked old man also had a smile on his face. He slowly turned his head and looked at Xiao Wanwan with a kind and gentle gaze:
"Goddess, please try it right away. It's absolutely delicious!"
"Thank you!"
Faced with such warm and thoughtful hospitality from the two, Xiao Wanwan smiled politely in return.
She reached out and picked up a small piece of monster meat from the basin, put it into her mouth, and praised:
"delicious!"
Awei was so happy that he raised his hand and scratched the back of his head subconsciously, and a bright smile appeared on his face.
"Hehe...as long as you like it, Goddess, that would be great!"
The people of the Cangyi tribe were dancing and eating meat in the field, with bright smiles on their faces.
Xiao Wanwan tasted a few bites of the monster meat and sat for a while.
She was thinking about going back and couldn't sit still.
"Grandpa, I have something important to attend to. I'll leave now!"
When the hunchbacked old man saw Xiao Wanwan said goodbye, he did not try to keep her.
Although the goddess is powerful, she is still young.
If I stay too long again, the elders at home will definitely worry.
"it is good!"
The hunchbacked old man nodded and fumbled in his arms to take out an exquisite little wooden box.
He took the small wooden box in his hand, stared at it for a few seconds, and then reluctantly handed it to Xiao Wanwan.
"Goddess, you saved our lives. This is a token of gratitude from our Cangyi tribe."
This was something that God left for the Cangyi tribe. Now that God has forgotten them, there is no use for them to keep it.
They have always been poor and really cannot afford any decent gift of thanks.
"Absolutely not!"
Xiao Wanwan saw the reluctance in the hunchbacked old man's eyes and waved her hands repeatedly.
"Grandpa, saving you was a piece of cake for me. I don't deserve such a generous reward."
The hunchbacked old man stuffed the small wooden box into Xiao Wanwan's hands without saying a word.
"Goddess, please accept it! We can't offer a more valuable thank-you gift, and this item is of no use to us.
It is better to give it to you and let it play its due role."
The things in God's hands are definitely not ordinary, but they are not suitable for mortals like them.
Just as Xiao Wanwan was about to refuse again, the ancient sword in her sea of consciousness began to vibrate violently.
She held the ancient sword tightly and nodded helplessly.
"Okay! Then I'll accept it."
Seeing Xiao Wanwan accept the wooden box, the ancient sword in his sea of consciousness finally calmed down.
She felt bad and wanted to give them some gift in return.
She looked at the tall and strong young man and woman in front of her, and her heart couldn't help but move.
Although the people of the Cangyi tribe do not have the slightest fluctuation in their cultivation, each of them possesses amazing strength, with well-defined muscles and a strong physique.
In Xiao Wanwan's opinion, everyone in this tribe seemed to be an excellent seedling born for body training.
With this thought in mind, she quickly immersed her consciousness into the Holy Palace.
In the blink of an eye, she found a secret manual of martial arts specifically for body training.
Xiao Wanwan took out the scroll, handed it to the hunchbacked old man, and explained to him with a smile.
"Grandpa, this is a body-refining technique that is very suitable for people from your Cangyi tribe to practice."
Faced with the generous gift handed to him by Xiao Wanwan, the hunchbacked old man's face was full of astonishment and disbelief.
His weathered, calloused hands trembled slightly uncontrollably, and he was hesitant to reach out and take the scroll.
After a long while, he asked in a slightly hoarse and awed voice:
"God...Goddess, are you really going to give us such a precious cultivation technique?"
The hunchbacked old man knew very well that for those practitioners in the outside world, the cultivation techniques were like rare treasures. They were regarded as top secrets by all major sects and would never be passed on to outsiders.
And the goddess in front of him was actually willing to give him such a rare martial art without hesitation, which really made him feel unbelievable.
