Chapter 415: Why Are You Calling Me ‘Daddy’?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The next day, Huanhuan left Bai Di and Xue Ling at home. She followed Shuang Yun down the mountain. Big Goody, Dos, Tres, and Little Goody followed behind them.
Huanhuan asked, “I heard you mention the witch doctor, Tao Wei, yesterday. Do you know what he looks like?”
“I don’t.” The Silvery Frost White Wolf carried her forward. “I’ve heard the name Tao Wei from He Guang. I heard that he’s the most powerful witch doctor in the demon race. He rarely appears on the battlefield. Not many people have seen him.”
“Oh.”
The Silvery Frost White Wolf was a little curious. “Why did you suddenly ask about him?”
!!
“The last time I was in Divine Wood City, I heard Bi Huan mention this name. I suspect that he’s the one who instigated Bi Huan to kill the saintess, which turned him into a demon.”
The Silvery Frost White Wolf did not expect this. He asked, “Isn’t Bi Huan the high priest of the Divine Wood City? How did he get involved with the witch doctor of the demon race?”
“I’m not sure about that.”
They reached the camp quickly.
The camp was filled with beast soldiers. As soon as the Silvery Frost White Wolf appeared, many beast soldiers bowed to him.
The Silvery Frost White Wolf carried Huanhuan through the camp and arrived at the entrance of a very large tent.
He transformed into his human form and said to Big Goody as he put on his clothes, “We have something to do. Take your brothers somewhere else to play.”
Big Goody responded. She held her head high and waited for her three brothers to turn around and leave.
They had been in the camp every day recently and were very familiar with the place. Shuang Yun did not have to worry about their safety at all.
Shuang Yun led Huanhuan into the tent.
This tent was specially used for meetings. It was covered in a thick carpet. The other five city lords and the witch doctors they had brought had all arrived. They were sitting on the carpet and eating while waiting for Shuang Yun.
When Shuang Yun walked in with Huanhuan, she realized that they were all old acquaintances.
Huanhuan saw Jiang Bo among the five witch doctors.
Jiang Bo naturally saw her too. He looked away awkwardly and pretended to lower his head to eat.
He wanted to pretend he didn’t see her, but Huanhuan wouldn’t let him.
She smiled and leaned over to greet him. “Son, long time no see. Why didn’t you greet me when you saw me?”
Jiang Bo: “…”
If he had a needle in his hand, he would sew this female’s mouth shut.
She was too sarcastic. She opened her mouth and poked directly at his sore spot.
Seeing that his witch doctor’s face was red with anger, the city lord coughed lightly and stepped forward to help Jiang Bo out.
“The past is the past. Witch Doctor Huanhuan, please sit. We were just about to discuss how to deal with the demon seed of the demon race.”
“Sure.” Huanhuan found an empty seat and sat down. “How did your discussion go?”
Shuang Yun sat down beside her. He picked up a fragrant and crispy fruit, wiped the dew off it, and let Huanhuan have it as a snack.
The city lord of Black Crystal City said, “Our mission is to capture 30 prisoners, but the demons are too cunning. They actually self-destruct to resist. I want the witch doctors to think of a way to make some medicine that’ll make those demons faint before they self-destruct. At that time, we’ll take the opportunity to tie them up and search for their demon seeds. That way, they won’t be able to self-destruct.”
The other four city lords nodded in agreement.
The city lord of Black Crystal City looked at the witch doctors. “The question now is, can you make such a medicine?”
At this moment, cracking sounds came from Huanhuan’s direction once more.
The fragrant and crispy fruits were delicious! They were sour and sweet, and very crunchy!
The five witch doctors looked at each other. Jiang Bo was the first to speak. “I know of a medicine that can be ground into powder and mixed into water. After drinking it, you’ll feel numb all over and won’t be able to move for half a day.”
The city lord of Black Crystal City quickly asked, “What medicine is it?”
Jiang Bo said, “Toad Skin Powder.”
At this moment, cracking sounds came from Huanhuan’s direction once more.
The sweet fruits were delicious too! She ate two more!
No one present had heard of this medicine before, so they all looked puzzled.
The city lord of the Black Crystal City said, “Witch Doctor Jiang Po, can you tell me what herbs are needed for Toad Skin Powder?”
Toad Skin Powder was an extremely unorthodox prescription. Jiang Bo was lucky to know of its existence. As for the formula, he had no idea.
But at this moment, everyone was looking at him. If he said that he didn’t know, he would definitely be laughed at for being too ignorant.
Especially since Lin Huanhuan was watching beside him, he couldn’t lose out!
Huanhuan was already full from the fruits, so she started to munch on sunflower seeds instead.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
While everyone was discussing serious matters, she was the only one eating non-stop. The city lords had already glanced at her several times in succession, hoping that she would stop eating.
However, Huanhuan did not notice their gazes at all. After eating sunflower seeds, she ate peanuts. They were extremely fragrant!
The city lord of Blue Crystal City couldn’t help but say, “We’re here to discuss serious matters. Can you stop eating?”
Huanhuan looked innocent. “You can discuss your business and I’ll eat my food. We won’t hinder each other.”
“But you’re eating too loudly. You’re affecting us.”
“Oh.” Huanhuan obediently put down the peanuts and pulled a roasted sweet potato out of the fire with a wooden stick.
She had a veil on her face, so she had to lower her head to make it easier to eat. Her hand went around the veil and she silently nibbled on the roasted sweet potato. She looked like a little hamster stealing food.
Eating sweet potatoes would not make a sound, but the fragrance of roasted sweet potatoes filled the tent.
Everyone swallowed hard at the temptation.
Huanhuan broke off half a sweet potato for Shuang Yun. “Eat it. It’s so sweet!”
Shuang Yun took her hand and lowered his head to take a bite of the sweet potato. He nodded and said, “It’s indeed sweet.”
The others: “…”
After these two came in, they hadn’t done anything but eat! They did not have the professional ethics of a city lord or a witch doctor!
Jiang Bo stared at Huanhuan for a moment before he suddenly thought of a plan.
“Witch Doctor Huanhuan won first place in the previous compet.i.tion. She knows the most herbs among us. She must have heard of Toad Skin Powder. Why don’t you ask her to help explain what herbs Toad Skin Powder requires?”
His previous defeat to Huanhuan had become a hurdle in Jiang Bo’s heart.
This time, he could throw the problem of making Toad Skin Powder at her and embarra.s.s her in front of everyone.
This way, they’d even.
As soon as she heard her name, Huanhuan immediately looked up at Jiang Bo in confusion. “Why did you call me, Son?”
Jiang Bo: “…”
Shuang Yun slowly wiped the sweet potato crumbs off his fingers and said, “Witch Doctor Jiang Bo wants to seek guidance from you about Toad Skin Powder.”
‘Who said I was asking for guidance? I’m clearly testing her on purpose!’ Jiang Bo was indignant and was about to refute.
Before he could say anything, Huanhuan spoke first.
“I’ve heard of it, but remember, you have to call me ‘Daddy’. Don’t keep calling out ‘Huanhuan’. You’re not young anymore. You have to learn to respect your elders, do you understand?”
Jiang Bo: “…”
How infuriating! But he had to keep smiling!
