Chapter 885, Two Awkward People

The conversation between the two continued, during which it attracted quite a few eavesdroppers.
Of course, all those who gathered around were people from the Earth Tiger Tribe. They were all standing with their ears perked, expectant to hear the ‘secret’.
After all, they had been investigating for the past few days, but had not received any news.
Now that they could hear news about the source of the Flame Dragon Tribe’s goods. They could not wait to join in and discuss it with them.
“I think some things are better left unsaid, otherwise spreading false information would not be good,” Bai Si said cautiously.
The two were only pretending to whisper to each other, but they made sure that the people nearby could hear what they were saying. Otherwise, this self-directed performance would have no meaning. Most importantly, they needed to make the people of the Earth Tiger Tribe take the bait.
“Rest assured, I heard this with my own ears. Don’t you know that I personally got to meet with the Chieftain of the Flame Dragon Tribe before?”
Qin glanced sideways at the people nearby, deliberately lowering her head as she continued, “Who doesn’t know Yan Jiao? He’s a Mid-Stage Totem Warrior.”
The girl had to make everyone very convinced, so she did all kinds of subtle actions very well, though she did not lower her volume.
“According to what you say, then it’s really true. So do we need to take action tonight?” Bai Si also pretended to be nervous.
“Not tonight. They’re only going to the outer forest to exchange things tomorrow night, so we can just go out tomorrow night,” Qin said, covering her mouth.
“I see. Then we still have enough time tonight. I wonder where in the forest it is?” Bai Si asked.
The monkey eared girl kept swinging her monkey tail, deliberately scanning left and right to observe their surroundings.
“I don’t know where exactly. It seems we need to leave this Tribe and travel some distance.”
Qin deliberately pretended to be very troubled, continuing, “Anyway, we just need to follow them tonight. Later on, they spoke very quietly, so I couldn’t hear clearly.”
“I understand. Tonight we’ll sort out the dried meat we brought, then take it out tomorrow to meet those people from that Tribe.”
Bai Si grinned, continuing, “This way we can use the least amount of goods to exchange for what we want.”
“Exactly. We’ll sneak out tonight,” Qin also smiled very happily.
*Step step step…*
The two deliberately acted coyly for a good while before leaving happily, precisely to avoid arousing their suspicion.
“Did you just hear that?” Yini’s jaw nearly dropped in surprise.
“We heard it, we heard it. What they said is the Flame Dragon Tribe’s secret,” Ci also nodded repeatedly.
“Is it really true? We’ve been investigating for so long without any news, and now suddenly there is news. I’m a bit worried,” Yini frowned.
Although the girl was happy that the news came quickly, she also somewhat doubted its authenticity.
“It shouldn’t be false. When we were hiding nearby listening just now, they did not notice us at all,” Ci still felt it was very authentic.
After all, this was something they overheard.
The two girls were acting like they were shopping while eavesdropping. Sometimes looking at this type of goods, sometimes looking at that type of goods. The way they did it was very natural, and they maintained a bit of distance. Still, they could hear everything relying on their own abilities. After all, a Totem Warrior’s hearing was much better than ordinary people.
“That’s great then. It seems we don’t need to continue searching. Let’s also prepare tomorrow night,” Yini said happily, swishing her tiger tail.
Originally, she had been somewhat ready to give up, because in a couple of days they would have to return to the Earth Tiger Tribe.
“We don’t need to prepare tomorrow night. We can prepare tonight, but we shouldn’t bring the dried meat yet,” Ci suggested.
“Why can’t we just bring the dried meat directly and catch up with them to trade? That way we wouldn’t need to make another trip to their Tribe,” Yini asked, blinking her beautiful eyes.
“You’re being silly. If they’re coming to trade with the Flame Dragon Tribe, they must have brought just the right amount of goods.” Ci rolled her cute eyes, continuing, “Even if there’s any surplus, it would only be things like dried meat, which they’ll need to eat on their way back.”
She did not want to carry such heavy things out late at night, only to find they could not exchange for anything.
“You’re right. I almost forgot,” Yini nodded repeatedly in sudden understanding.
“Anyway, we don’t need to pack much tonight. We can just relax properly today.”
Ci stretched her body, continuing, “We just need to wait until tomorrow night to secretly follow them out.”
“The Shaman will definitely be very happy. We’ve finally learned the Flame Dragon Tribe’s secret. In the future, our Tribe won’t need to spend so much to come here and trade,” Yini said with an unstoppable smile.
“Come on, today we can eat a good meal, or eat a bit more,” Ci said, squinting her eyes.
Previously, they had not dared to eat too much, because every time they ate roasted meat, they had to use a large amount of things to trade for it.
For example, to eat one roasted meat meal, one would need to exchange three or more bags of dried meat.
But still, all those here were willing to accept such a trade, because the delicious food here was worth that amount.
At the same time, Ye Jiu was also patrolling inside the Central Market, but she truly could not speak those same words as Bai Si and Qin.
The wolf eared girl was originally also supposed to act with Yue, but when she tried to speak, words simply could not come out.
So now the two of them were awkwardly walking around the Central Market. Under the pretext of patrolling, they were actually just too embarrassed to speak to each other.
“Do you still remember things from when we were children?” Ye Jiu could only break the silence first.
If she did not break the silence, she feared that even if they walked until nightfall, the two still would not have anything to say.
“It gave me a second life, I suppose, so I remember it relatively clearly,” Yue said somewhat lightly.
But inside her heart she was already somewhat excited, because the other person had already taken the initiative to speak with her.
She had originally wanted to take the initiative to speak, but was afraid that after speaking, no one would respond, which would be a bit awkward.
“Should we start doing what we agreed on beforehand?” Ye Jiu turned her head and asked. She truly felt that continuing to walk like this was also a waste of time.
“I’m fine with it, but can you actually say those things?” Yue had a completely indifferent look.
Yue felt that since they had already disguised themselves well and no one could recognize the two of them, there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
“Then… let’s just forget it,” Ye Jiu gave up struggling.
“…” Yue shrugged helplessly.
They had planned to find the Green Vine Tribe and spread this information near them, to make them take the bait.
