Just Like That, He Became a Priest

Grandma Cao looked at the furry head sticking out of the scarf and knew that the little wolf cub could not return to his parents’ tribe.

Not to mention that the road was difficult to travel after the avalanche. It was difficult for the wolf beastman to return to check. Moreover, the wolf beastman got rid of the little wolf cub in a hurry when he encountered a group of crazy giant deer. She thought they would think that the chance of the little wolf cub surviving was not high.

Although the wolf cub lost his parents, on the bright side, at least the cub was still alive, and their tribe had one more member. Originally, their tribe was composed of many beastmen and sub-beastmen of different animal forms. There was no such thing as exclusion.

Grandma Cao looked at Cheng An who was confused and asked Yu: “Then this little wolf cub is now a member of our tribe, right?”

Yu nodded, otherwise he would not know what to do with this little wolf cub.

 Grandma Cao held Cheng An in her arms and checked him from all angles. After confirming that there was no stray hair on Cheng An, she happily dropped a bombshell on Yu and Cheng An.

“Great!” Grandma Cao’s eyes were wrinkled with joy, “Our tribe has a priest!”

Yu: “?”

Cheng An: “?”

After Grandma Cao said this, she successfully received two fluffy puzzled faces, which looked quite cute.

It was inconvenient to communicate with Grandma Cao in his beast form, so Yu returned to his cave, changed into human form and put on a leather skirt. He took Cheng An to see Grandma Cao again.

Yu: “Grandma Cao, what did you say just now?”

Grandma Cao was still in high spirits and said happily: “This kid is going to join our tribe, so our tribe will have a little priest! With a priest, our tribe will only get better and better!”

Yu was a little puzzled. He lifted Cheng An up and looked into Cheng An’s round black eyes. Cheng An blinked innocently.

 Yu: “But aren’t you the priest of our tribe, Grandma Cao? Even if you want to take in an apprentice, there are many suitable candidates in the tribe. There is no need to choose this little wolf cub first. Besides, I don’t see anything different about him.”

Grandma Cao waved her hand and said to Yu: “You don’t know this. The most important point in selecting a priest is not other things, but to determine it based on the fur color of the animal. Which tribe’s priests are not white? Only white priests can communicate with the beast god and bring God’s instructions and blessings to the tribe!”

“Although I was chosen by the priest of the tribe before and learned some things from him. But my tail is not completely white.” Grandma Cao couldn’t help but sighed when she thought of the past and stretched out her tail. There is a tuft of black hair on the tip of the snow-white tail. “It is these black hairs that destined me to not become a priest and communicate with the beast god.”

Yu was puzzled, “I am also covered with white hair, but you didn’t tell me this, Grandma Cao.”

Now it was Grandma Cao’s turn to be surprised: “I thought this was something that all beastmen and sub-beastmen knew. Besides, you are already the leader. There is no tribe where the priest and leader are from the same beast form.”

Grandma Cao said this as a matter of course, which made Yu a little speechless.

Only beastmen or sub-beastmen with white hair can be priests? Grandma Cao said this with certainty, and Yu could not find a reason to refute, so he had to acquiesce. Yu looked at the expressions of other beastmen in the cave again, and found that they all agreed without a trace of rebuttal.

It seems that he had been away from the tribe for too long before, and he didn’t even know this.

Grandma Cao took Cheng An from Yu’s hand, raised Cheng An above her head, and announced loudly: “He will be the priest of our tribe!”

As soon as this was said, it immediately gained the support of the tribe members who came to Grandma Cao’s cave to get some herbs. No one was dissatisfied with the fact that Cheng An, a little cub, was a priest.

Priest? Me?

Cheng An was confused. He was dissatisfied, but he couldn’t make a sound of rebuttal, so his opinion was ignored.

 “Priest! Priest! Priest!” The beastmen and sub-beastmen in the cave cheered, and were happy for the new priest in their tribe from the bottom of their hearts. They believed that it would not be long before this news spread throughout the tribe.

After all, they are a small tribe, and there are only 69 people in Cheng An’s tribe. Even if everyone does not like to live together and digs their own caves, they are not far apart, which is convenient for taking care of each other. It can be said that the small homes of the tribe members in this tribe have privacy, but they will not be separated from the tribe.

Cheng An fluttered a few times. He was not used to being lifted so high, Yu quickly took him and held him in his arms.

The cheers in the cave gradually stopped. Cheng An had not sorted out his messy thoughts when a long-lost mechanical sound sounded in his mind again.

[Ding – Congratulations to the host for becoming the priest of the Dashan tribe. Successfully triggering the side quest, and receiving 100 rewards of seeds, a tube of fireworks, and a language crash package.]

If this taciturn system hadn’t spoken, Cheng An would have almost forgotten it. In the end, becoming a priest by accident is a good thing.

Cheng An knew this, but why are there rewards for fireworks and language quick-training packages? This system reward is really weird.

Cheng An poked the system frantically, and 457 had to explain it to Cheng An. [Ding——The rewards for the side quests will be randomly generated according to the host’s inner wishes and current situation. Using the language quick-training package can make the host’s vocal organs mature early, which will help the host learn to speak early.]

He didn’t expect that it would be such a good thing to trigger the side quest! Cheng An was overjoyed, but he quickly calmed down. Wouldn’t using this acceleration package be harmful to the body?

457 spoke at the right time: [Ding——Please rest assured, our products have been strictly tested and have no side effects. Please feel free to use them.]

Really? Then I’ll try!  Cheng An thought to himself, and immediately used the language quick-training package, waiting for the miracle to happen. After a while, Cheng An tried to speak, but it was in vain.

Cheng An felt a little frustrated, “457, 457? Didn’t you say that this thing has no side effects? But it doesn’t seem to be of any use?”

457: [Ding-the quick-training package only accelerates the development of the host’s body’s vocal organs, it is not immediately effective. ]

Alas. Cheng An sighed in his heart and decided to divert his attention. “457, what is this firework? Is it the firework I thought of? Is there anything special about it?”

457: [Ding-reply to the host, it is indeed an ordinary firework without any other special features. Does the host want to set off a tube of fireworks to watch now? ]

“No, no, put it aside for now.” The fireworks are not useful, but it is at least one of Cheng An’s few assets, so keep it for now.

Seeing that Cheng An was unwilling to let her hold it, Grandma Cao didn’t force it. After all, he was still a little wolf cub. He was abandoned by his parents and frightened by giant deer and avalanches. He certainly doesn’t want to be separated from Yu who saved him.

It’s normal for the priest to stay with the leader!

Besides, Cheng An is still young, so he doesn’t need to teach him much. The beast god will teach the priest what he should learn!

Even though Yu is the leader, Grandma Cao couldn’t help but say a few more words, asking Yu to take good care of their current priest. After saying that, Grandma Cao went to work. There were still beastmen in the cave waiting for her to treat them! Now the snow is deep and the weather is cold. Many beastmen were frostbitten when they went out on patrol. They had to apply herbs.

Yu led the new priest back to the cave and made meat broth for him.

 “Could it be that you, little guy, are really the messenger sent by the Beast God? That’s why you are so lucky? Hmm?” Yu held Cheng An so that he was at eye level with him. They were very close, almost nose to nose, and their breaths were connected.

Cheng An was caught off guard and saw Yu’s enlarged handsome face. His saliva almost flowed down.

But it’s easy to understand why the wolf cub drooled, right? Cheng An looked innocent, thinking to himself: “Ah? What did you say? I don’t know, I’m just a little wolf cub!” He admired the handsome face openly, and the next second he couldn’t help but stick out his pink tongue to lick Yu’s face.

“Okay, okay, don’t lick.” Yu hurriedly put Cheng An down and wiped off the “evidence” left by Cheng An on his face. “Are you hungry? The broth will be ready soon, don’t lick anything randomly.”

Cheng An was almost stiff and buried his head in his furry paws.

Oh my God! What did he just do? He actually stuck out his tongue to lick the handsome guy’s face! No, no, no, he is not such a frivolous person, he must be influenced by this body!

It’s just a wolf cub! He likes to lick people, which is understandable! After all, wolves and dogs are very close in blood. Wolves belong to the canine family, and licking people is just a way to express love, which is normal!

Before Cheng An adjusted his mood, a bowl of fragrant meat broth was placed in front of him.

Gulp.

Cheng An swallowed his saliva. Forget it, forget it, don’t think about those miscellaneous things, things have come to this point, let’s eat first.

Cheng An buried his head and ate hard. Looking at his fierce appearance while eating, Yu thought that it has been a long time, and the bowl of meat broth has only been eaten a little bit. But watching Cheng An eat like this, Yu’s appetite is indeed better.

He gently pinched the back of Cheng An’s neck and started to eat his lunch.

 Two pieces of dried bacon were cut into small pieces and thrown into a stone pot to cook soup with potatoes. There was no other seasoning except salt, which looked very simple.

But now it is the snow season, so such a meal is already very good.

Even though Yu is the leader, he cannot eat as much as he wants in the snow season. He has to save food.

There are fewer prey in winter, so their food naturally decreases as well. Yu has to send the saved food to Tu.

Tu is a beastman, but he is now injured and can no longer go out hunting with the hunting team.

Beastmen generally have a bigger appetite than sub-beastmen. He is injured, and the meat distributed by the tribe is definitely not enough to eat. In addition, he is alone. If there is no help from others, he may not survive this winter.

But Tu is close to Grandma Cao now, maybe they will swear an oath to the beast god next spring and live in a cave.

 Although Tu now lives in the same cave as Grandma Cao, there are still some differences.

The beastman world is very open. If beastmen like each other, they can live in each other’s cave to see if they are suitable. If not, they can move out of the cave. This is equivalent to cohabitation in the real world. No one will say anything if the beastmen separate after giving birth.

But if you swear an oath to the beast god under the witness of all the tribe members, it is equivalent to getting a certificate. This oath is very important and cannot be violated. This leads to the fact that there are still a few beastmen willing to swear.

Yu calculated the resources of everyone in the tribe, and frowned a little. This year’s snow season not only came earlier, but also came suddenly, causing everyone to be unprepared and not enough food to be stored.

When the weather clears up and it stops snowing, they still have to organize a hunt. Otherwise, many people in their tribe will starve to death again this snow season.

Yu doesn’t want to see such a thing happen. As the leader, he should lead his people to get better and better.

 The avalanche came quickly, and Yu rushed into the herd of giant deer, creating a small chaos. Many of the giant deer should have fallen down in panic, and might have been buried under the snow.

When it stopped snowing, Yu decided to take a team to take a look there.

If there were really many giant deer buried under the snow, then they would have a much better time this snow season.

Yu hid the worry in his eyes and turned to look at Cheng An who was eating hard with a smile in his eyes.

“Do you want me to give you a name? It will be convenient to call you this way. Otherwise, it is not appropriate to always call our priest “little cub.” Yu touched Cheng An’s furry head.

Cheng An stopped eating vigilantly and looked up at Yu. What are you doing? He has a name! Don’t mess around!

However, Yu couldn’t hear Cheng An’s voice, and was thinking about what name to give the little wolf cub in front of him.

 “How about calling you Xue? This name is easy to remember and sounds nice. Besides, it was snowing the day I found you, and the snow mountain just happened to collapse.”

No, no! I have a name, Cheng An, not Xue!

Cheng An shook his head vigorously, and he was pulling Yu while shaking his head.

However, Yu thought Cheng An’s shaking head and resisting was cute. He picked up Cheng An, “Huh? Don’t you want to eat anymore? You also think this name is good, right? Xiao Xue?”

No, no! Not at all, my name is Cheng An, not Xiao Xue!

Cheng An didn’t recognize the name Yu gave him, and started to resist with all his might.

After a long time, Yu finally realized that Cheng An didn’t seem to like the name Xue.

Yu was a little disappointed, “Don’t you like it? Many beastmen and sub-beastmen in the tribe have one-character names, which are nice and easy to remember. You really don’t want it?”

Cheng An shook his head vigorously, he didn’t want it!

 Yu understood Cheng An’s refusal this time, “Okay, then don’t. When you grow up, you can choose a name for yourself. But you are still young now, maybe you will like the name Xue when you grow up.”

Cheng An rolled his eyes. How is it possible? Although he said to adapt to the local customs, he didn’t want to change his name to a name that matched the beastman Continent. He had to at least remember who he was and where he came from.

Hmph, Cheng An was so angry that he kept groaning.

Yu stroked Cheng An’s back and smoothed his fur, “Okay, do you want to eat the broth?”

Eat, of course, he is not full yet. Cheng An continued to lick his broth.

Yu was a little disappointed that the name he gave Cheng An was not adopted. It was obviously an honor to be named by the leader. Yu was a little sad, but he didn’t vent his anger on Cheng An. He turned around and brought some firewood to make the fire in the cave warmer.

Don’t let this little guy get cold.

After Cheng An was full, he lay down on the ground, and the warm fire made him sleepy.

[Ding–The side quest has been triggered. Spend a hundred hours with the leader. The deadline for the quest is seven days later. May I ask if the host will start the quest now?]

The cold mechanical sound in his mind instantly woke Cheng An up, and he immediately asked the system: “Hmm? Time-limited task? Will there be a penalty if it is not completed?”

[Ding——This is a randomly triggered time-limited task. If you do not choose to open it, there will be no penalty. However, if it is opened and not completed, the main task target to receive the reward will be doubled.]

So ruthless? ! You know, it is very difficult for Cheng An to complete the main task and receive the reward.

Cheng An secretly struggled in his heart for a while. He asked again: “457, can you tell me about the reward for this task?”

[Ding——After completing the time-limited get along task, you will get a seed treasure chest. After opening the treasure chest, the host can choose a crop from pumpkin, watermelon, winter melon, squash, gourd, cucumber and other crops to receive as the reward. There are a total of 20 seeds, and there is also a low-level lottery ticket.]

Lottery ticket! Cheng An suddenly became energetic, “Open, open, open!” Anyway, even if he couldn’t complete this task, there would be no substantial reward for him.

[Ding——Limited-time task has been opened, and the timer has started. 00:01]

But why is the content of this limited-time task so strange? Forget it.

“By the way, 457, what are the conditions for opening this random task? Can you tell me? Or tell me, what did I do to trigger this task this time?”

[Ding——###]

All the harsh sounds were blocked, and it seemed that he couldn’t find out.

 Cheng An was mentally prepared. It was random, so he would just leave it to fate.

Cheng An held his tail and moved closer to Yu. It has been snowing outside every day recently. It would be a piece of cake to stay with Yu for a hundred hours! Here I come, lottery ticket!
