Chapter 1236 Cetalli, who stayed overnight
Shao Yun finally understood the reason, grinned, and said self-deprecatingly.
"Oh... I see. It seems Ifa also suffered because of my special case, and was nervous for nothing."
Having clarified all the questions, Shao Yun was too lazy to dwell on the details anymore. He raised his chin and decisively handed over all the follow-up matters regarding the settlement to Vaina.
"Alright, I understand everything, and I will follow your arrangements as the tribal chief."
Seeing that Shao Yun was so agreeable, Vaina immediately nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, I will handle this personally and make sure it's done perfectly for you."
"Oh, right, there's something else I need to tell you—once the formalities are completely completed, I'll have someone deliver a few tribal life manuals to your family."
"The manual describes the daily customs and precautions of the Nata, as well as who to ask for help in case of emergency. If you encounter any problems in your life, just follow the instructions in the manual and you can basically solve them."
Fearing that Shao Yun might still have reservations, he added, "If it's not written in the manual, or if you find it troublesome, you can come directly to me. We're friends, and I'm happy to help your family solve any problems you encounter in your lives. Don't be shy with me."
Hearing Vaina's thoughtful advice, Shao Yun felt a warmth in his heart and politely replied, "Okay, thank you for your help."
"We might have to trouble you and the tribe often while we live in Nata, so don't complain about us then."
“You’re being too polite!” Vaina laughed heartily. “You helped the Suspended Wood People so much before, what’s a little favor like this from us?”
……
In short, because of Yifa's misunderstanding, Shao Yun made a special trip with Ying and Paimon, only to have it all for nothing.
If I had known that writing a letter or making a simple registration would have sufficed, there would have been no need for such a fuss.
Ying couldn't help but mutter to herself.
She got up before dawn and specifically told Paimon not to sleep in and delay the trip. As it turned out, the household registration procedure was simpler than she had imagined.
"Wow, it's so simple. All I have to do is say something and fill out a form? What does that mean by getting up so early today? That I'm just being too diligent?"
Shao Yun felt the same way. He turned to look at Ying and shrugged helplessly.
"I never expected this to turn into such a mess..."
Paimon floated beside Ying, initially curious about whether there would be an interesting ritual of "talking to the stone," but all he did was fill out a form, without any "excitement" at all.
She suddenly felt bored, swayed her body, and asked, "Um, what are we going to do next? Are we going home now? It feels like we haven't been out for long."
Shao Yun looked up at the sky. Seeing that it was still early, he realized that if he went back now, he wouldn't have much to do for the rest of the day.
After thinking for a moment, he suggested to the two of them, "Why don't we take a stroll around the Suspended Wood People's tribe? We're already here, so we can't leave empty-handed."
……
To make the most of their early morning, Shao Yun and his family strolled around the Suspended Wood People's tribe.
After wandering around for a while, the group realized that the Suspended Wooden Man place didn't offer many typical tourist experiences.
Unlike the Flowing Springs, the Suspended Wood People do not have a wide variety of specialty shops or elaborately arranged tourist attractions. The streets are mostly lined with the daily residences of tribal members, making them appear exceptionally simple.
If we're talking about something new and exciting, it seems like only extreme sports are worth mentioning.
Just as Shao Yun and his group were debating whether to grit their teeth and try extreme sports, so that the trip would at least be "worth it", a gentle breeze came from above.
The three looked up and saw Sitella sitting on her flying pink and white cushion, slowly floating towards them.
"Mr. Shao Yun! We've finally found you!"
Cetalli waved and shouted from afar, and as soon as she finished speaking, she manipulated the pillow to land steadily on the ground.
She jumped off the cushion and ran quickly to Shao Yun, blocking their path. Her face was full of urgency.
Shao Yun was taken aback when he saw Cetalari suddenly appear, then asked half-jokingly:
"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly contacting us? Are you treating us to a meal? We're a bit hungry from all that walking around."
(Ningguang: Did I make too little food this morning?)
Sitella quickly shook her head, waving her little hands rapidly.
"No, that's not it! I can certainly treat you to a meal, but that's not the point right now!"
After speaking, she leaned forward, clasped her hands together in front of her chest, and her eyes were full of pleading:
"Mr. Shao Yun, I'm here to ask for your help. Could I stay at your house for a few days? Just a few days! I'll leave as soon as I've resolved this problem. Please help me! It's an emergency!"
"Stay at my place?" Upon hearing this, Shao Yun rolled her eyes and complained, "What the heck? What's going on? When did my house become a shelter? Why are people coming to me for shelter every few days lately?"
First Ningguang insisted on living in the basement, and now Sitrus has come along. If this keeps up, my ranch will soon become a 'Nata Temporary Containment Station'!
Cetalli had no other choice; otherwise, she wouldn't have rushed out of the house to find a place to stay.
"I have no choice! I really can't go home now, so I can only take refuge at your house."
This made Ying even more curious, and she interjected, "Cetalari, what terrible thing happened in your home that makes you afraid to go home?"
Cetalli gripped the hem of her clothes, her expression instantly crumbling. She then recounted in detail the troubles she had encountered these past few days to Shao Yun, Ying, and Paimon.
"Here's the thing, a while ago a merchant from Fontaine named 'Mon Lusong' came and has been blocking my door every day with his captain's group of fools."
"He said he needed my help, the 'Great Shaman Lady,' to do some archaeological work."
She paused, recalling those annoying entanglements, and clenched her fist in an unfriendly tone.
“But he wasn’t asking for help! He would come knocking on the door at the same time every day, morning, noon and night. If I didn’t open the door, he would just stand there and not leave.”
"I feel like I'm living in a prison while I'm at home. I have no freedom at all, and my normal life has been completely disrupted!"
Paimon, who was floating to the side, listened to Cetalli's description and immediately showed a sympathetic expression, nodding repeatedly as he said:
"Now that you mention it, Cetalli, you're really having a tough time! Having people harassing your door every day, anyone would find that unbearable!"
When Cetalli saw that Paimon was on her side, she immediately felt like she had found an "ally," her eyes lit up, and she quickly followed up by playing the victim.
“That’s right, that’s right! Little Paimon, you’re absolutely right! I haven’t been able to get a good night’s sleep these past few days. As soon as I open my eyes in the morning, I hear them knocking on the door again.”
"I can't even leave the house every day. If I want to eat something good, I have to ask Euron to bring it to me. I'm so miserable!"
As she spoke, she deliberately sniffed, looking as if she was about to cry from grievance.
Immediately afterwards, she walked quickly to Ying's side, gently tugged at Ying's sleeve, softened her voice, and began to coax, "Ying, you're the most soft-hearted, please put in a good word for me!"
"I promise I'll behave well at your house and won't disturb your normal life too much! I definitely won't cause you any trouble!"
Ying looked at Sitella's coquettish way of pulling her along, and although she felt a little reluctant, she didn't immediately agree.
Because of Ningguang's matter, Ying didn't dare to act too independently during this period, so she cast an inquiring look at Shaoyun and asked for his opinion.
"Let's leave this to you, honey. What do you think?"
When Shao Yun saw Ying asking for his opinion, he crossed his arms and tapped his arms rhythmically. His gaze fell on Cecilia, and he began to think with a half-smile.
After a few seconds of silence, Shao Yun's eyes lit up. He came up with a "good idea" as a compromise and seriously proposed:
"Since you're so bothered by the Fools, then it's simple."
“You should hire me, pay me a fee, and I’ll help you ‘plant’ all those fools who are bothering your life in the ground as ‘ginseng,’ guaranteeing they’ll never dare to bother you again.”
(It means to bury someone alive.)
"Huh?" When Cecilia heard Shao Yun's terrifying suggestion, her eyes widened instantly, and she quickly waved her little hands in rebuttal.
"Hey, hey, hey! Mr. Shao Yun, stop joking! How can you say something so terrifying in such a serious tone?"
Seeing Sitella's panicked expression, Shao Yun immediately asked another question.
"Then I'm curious, why is it that you can only come to my house to freeload food, drinks, and lodging?"
"With your abilities, wouldn't it be enough to just unleash a tantrum and scare those fools? 'Terrible Obsidian Granny,' can't you even handle something this simple?"
Upon hearing Shao Yun mention the word "terrible," Cecilia instantly vanished like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on, her aggrieved expression disappearing in an instant. She put her hands on her hips and retorted haughtily:
"What?! Grandma is such a kind person!"
“She always speaks softly to the children in the tribe, how could she be fierce and prone to outbursts! ‘Obsidian Grandma’ is just a nickname everyone uses jokingly, don’t take it seriously!”
As she spoke, she deliberately puffed out her chest, trying to appear as if she were "very kind."
But as soon as she finished speaking, Shao Yun, Ying, and Paimeng all cast distrustful glances at her.
Shao Yun raised an eyebrow, his eyes saying, "I don't believe you!" Ying suppressed a laugh and gently shook her head. Paimon couldn't bear to watch any longer.
Sita Lari felt flustered as she was stared at by Shao Yun, Ying, and Paimon, and the blush on her cheeks, which had not yet faded, was now replaced by embarrassment.
She muttered to herself: she did have an exaggerated reputation for being able to stop children from crying at night just by hearing her name because of her shaman identity and occasional outbursts, but that was all because outsiders didn't know the situation!
She's a genuine lady at heart, so why doesn't anyone believe her?
She frowned, racking her brains for a more reasonable explanation, but after thinking for a long time, she couldn't come up with a convincing reason.
Finally, she simply turned her head away, put her hands on her hips, and resumed her arrogant demeanor, forcing herself to say:
"In short! That Fools' 'captain' ultimately sided with Nata. His subordinates did a lot to protect Nata before. Even if they're bothering me now, I can't really take action against them, lest I give others a reason to criticize me!"
