Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 1423 - 1262: The Ancient Beast World 28

Dou Yan didn’t think of anything when he had people perform the sacrifice; it was only when he truly prepared to do it that he was a bit at a loss, because he didn’t know how to arrange it.According to Dou Yan’s personal bias, he naturally hoped Shuangshuang would be the main priest, and not only Dou Yan, but he believed the entire Silver Tiger Clan wished for this. It’s important to know that Shuangshuang’s prestige in the tribe was unmatched by anyone.

However, Yan Ming came from the Flame Department, a Super Tribe, and if a Great Witch who never studied at a Super Tribe overshadowed Yan Ming.

This isn’t just a personal issue for Yan Ming; if the Flame Department found out, it would be like disregarding the Super Tribe’s importance entirely.

Although Shuangshuang was personally enlightened and instructed by the Earth Lord God, which is far more dignified than being taught by a Great Witch from a Super Tribe, the problem lies with this Great Witch of the Flame Department who is not broad-minded.

If the news that Shuangshuang was guided by the Earth Lord God was made public, this Great Witch of the Flame Department might become more angry out of shame than simply not recognizing the value of Shuangshuang’s status.

But Dou Yan didn’t struggle for long, because Yan Ming voluntarily took a step back and vacated the position of main priest.

Yan Ming himself is basically not ambitious; if he were, he wouldn’t have chosen to return to the Silver Tiger Clan.

Yan Ming, as the most outstanding student of the Great Witch from the Flame Department, was desired by many Great Tribes to take on the role of Great Witch, but he remained unmoved, wanting to return to the Silver Tiger Clan wholeheartedly.

Even before Yan Ming decided to stay in the Silver Tiger Clan, he had already planned his position: Shuangshuang’s assistant. In his heart, Yan Ming greatly admired Shuangshuang.

An ability as a Great Witch is indeed awe-inspiring, but being powerful while also enabling the tribe to live well is not just awe; it includes admiration and faith.

Due to Yan Ming voluntarily stepping back, everything was more manageable afterward, and the sacrifice proceeded as usual. In today’s sacrificial ceremony, Shuangshuang added another step, which was offering incense.

Originally, the God Sacrifice Ceremony in the Beastman World didn’t include the step of offering incense, but Shuangshuang felt awkward having no incense in the ritual of feudal superstition.

The garments for today’s God Sacrifice Ceremony were made in advance by Shuangshuang; she, Dou Yan, Tu Ya, Zhi Yi, along with Yan Ming, Ting Lan, and Tingxue all had them, and Saran’s clothes were made even earlier.

Due to the hot weather, Shuangshuang’s attire was a light and thin snakeskin, with the snake originally being huge because it was a Horror Beast, specifically a rare albino Horror Beast snake.

At first, Shuangshuang took a fancy to the snake’s white skin, and it just happened that the snake wanted to eat her; in the end, the grand feast wasn’t enjoyed, and instead, it became a dish for the Silver Tiger Clan, with the snake’s skin turned into clothing.

This white snake was very large, naturally its skin was very extensive, and Shuangshuang used the snake skin to make clothes for close ones. She herself made a bustier and skirt out of the snake skin, also crafting a fringed belt, arm ring, ankle ring, and bracelet with jade.

After putting on the clothes, although still in a primitive style that is extremely revealing, it’s better than being bare-chested and backless. Plus, the snake skin was cool and comfortable to wear in the hot weather.

During the previous summer season, Shuangshuang could only wrap herself in beast skins, but they were too hot; if it weren’t for the medicine, she would have developed a rash.

After worshipping the earth and the gods, Shuangshuang stepped forward to offer incense. The censer was meticulously and painstakingly carved from a whole piece of glass-like jade by Shuangshuang, and it was stunningly beautiful.

After offering incense, Yan Ming followed to do the same, and then it was Dou Yan and Tu Ya, followed by Shi Li, Saran, and Da Shi, and finally Zhi Yi and the other two most powerful young warriors.

The final step was Saran’s grand spectacle, with her personally performing the God Worship Dance. Saran’s outfit today possessed a completeness that Shuangshuang expended much time over consecutive years to achieve.

First, the jade crown on her head was painstakingly crafted by Shuangshuang, modeled after the princess crown’s style. In this time of extreme lack of auxiliary tools, relying solely on witch power to sculpt with blue gemstone fragments, the process was quite difficult, and just a single headpiece took Shuangshuang a year.

However, the effect was extraordinarily stunning; now, with Saran’s long hair half-up, half-loose, wearing this crown made her astonishingly beautiful.

Aside from the crown, the fringed belt, arm rings, and forehead decorations on Saran are exquisitely refined. On her hands and feet, Saran also wore luxurious bracelets and anklets attached to rings and foot rings.

The bracelets and anklets were adorned with tiny bells. Sculpting these bells, Shuangshuang exerted an effort comparable to that spent on the crown, but the results were surprisingly good.

As Saran danced, these bells would emit melodious sounds and alternate as Saran moved.

Saran, already skilled in dance, was now achieving sublime mastery, effortlessly executing many challenging moves, akin to blooming spring flowers and wind-swayed willow leaves, leaving countless beastmen mesmerized, including Yan Ming who was utterly entranced.

Following the God Worship Dance was the God Sacrifice Dance, now evolved from a few people at the beginning to thirty-three dancers performing together.

Though the God Sacrifice Dance wasn’t as breathtaking as Saran’s God Worship Dance, being a group dance, the synchronized moves of thirty-three people was a different kind of amazing and impactful.

With the dances concluded, the official banquet began. Everyone started roasting meat, eating and drinking, while those with strong relationships competed in arm wrestling or sparring.

Shuangshuang and Yan Ming sat aside roasting meat, while Ting Lan and Tingxue happily played with a few new friends nearby.

Shuangshuang was considering how splendid the God Sacrifice Dance and God Worship Dance looked; however, with just watching, it felt unsatisfactory. Song and dance have never been separate; perhaps she should find someone to research how to compose music for the God Worship Dance and God Sacrifice Dance.

As the festivities ended, life continued. During this time, Shuangshuang’s ongoing research on epidemic remedies had some clues, although still lacking a few herbs.

These herbs weren’t found nearby, so Shuangshuang intended to travel farther to seek them, hoping to discover the herbs.

Previously, Shuangshuang couldn’t rest easy leaving the tribe; although she had long had the desire to travel far, she had always delayed due to her concerns for the tribe.

Now, with Yan Ming keeping an eye on the tribe as a Great Witch, Shuangshuang felt assured to travel farther alone. After reminding Yan Ming and Dou Yan a few times, Shuangshuang set off alone, carrying a medicine basket.

This time Shuangshuang planned to travel farther and didn’t follow the familiar route but chose a path she had never taken, looking for herbs she hadn’t encountered.

Shuangshuang, prepared for a longer trip, ventured further and happened to discover two very precious herbs away from familiar grounds.

Although these herbs weren’t the remedy for the plague, they were exceedingly rare.

Shuangshuang gleefully dug out the two herbs with their soil, tied their roots securely with grass, and planned to transplant them into the newly cultivated herb field.

Perhaps luck had finally arrived, as subsequently Shuangshuang came across several other precious herbs, which she dug out as well.
