Chapter 77: Chapter 79: How to Captivate a Sapiosexual?

The Salt Well Cave was located halfway up the mountain. After Su Luoluo got off Fu Feng’s back, she walked into the cave.

She made a point to scan her surroundings. Seeing that everything inside was just as she had left it, she breathed a sigh of relief.

’It seems no one has discovered the Salt Well here yet.’

The Wolf Clan People followed Su Luoluo into the Salt Well Cave. They were astonished to see five salt wells, all full, before their eyes.

They had assumed there was only one salt well, as Su Luoluo had mentioned. They never expected there would be so many.

They gazed joyfully at the scene before them, exclaiming with excitement, "With this much salt, our whole tribe will have enough to eat! We’ll never have to worry about not catching prey in the winter and having no salt again."

"More than enough? This salt looks like it could last our tribe for lifetimes!"

"Luoluo, you’re amazing! To be able to find so much salt!"

Nantu surveyed the salt wells, a sense of astonishment in his heart. He hadn’t expected Su Luoluo to have found so many.

’Judging by the reserves, there must be a huge amount of salt.’

’But it’s all concentrated in these wells, not in a salt lake like in the city-states. Extracting it probably won’t be so easy.’

’I wonder how Su Luoluo managed it before?’

At this thought, he glanced over at Su Luoluo. She was intently examining the salt at the edge of a well, her expression one of deep concentration.

’For the first time, Nantu thought that Su Luoluo didn’t look so ugly when she was serious.’

Luan Ting walked further inside, also secretly astonished.

’This Salt Well Cave is huge, and there are so many wells.’

’The leader will be overjoyed when he finds out there’s this much salt.’

’This is more than enough salt for all of us.’

After their initial excitement, the Wolf Clan People grew a little dejected. "The salt is in the wells. How are we supposed to get it out?"

After confirming that there were no issues with the salt, Su Luoluo looked up at the Wolf Clan member who had spoken. "That’s easy," she said.

She then glanced at Fu Feng, Xiao Ye, and Mo Xuan. "Same as last time. We need to dig a few more pits."

The three of them nodded and immediately set to work, digging pits.

The other Wolf Clan People exchanged glances, then asked Su Luoluo, "What about us?"

Before Su Luoluo could speak, Luan Ting interjected, "We’ll dig too."

After speaking, he asked Su Luoluo, "Where should we dig?"

Hearing this, Su Luoluo pointed to an empty patch of ground closer to another salt well. "Over there!"

Luan Ting nodded and walked over, and the other Wolf Clan People quickly followed him.

When the leader wasn’t around, they always listened to Luan Ting.

The soil from the pits they had dug last time was still piled up and needed to be cleared away.

Su Luoluo was just about to start clearing it when Nantu walked over. "I’ll do it!"

Su Luoluo didn’t refuse, simply nodding in agreement.

Soon, the pit that Xiao Ye, Fu Feng, and Mo Xuan were working on together was ready.

Seeing this, one of the Wolf Clan members asked curiously, "What do we do after the pit is dug?"

Su Luoluo said nothing. She walked to the edge of the well nearest the pit. With a wave of her finger and a flicker of thought, a column of brownish-yellow water was pulled directly from the well under her command.

Su Luoluo drew the water out, and with a sharp flick of her finger, she flung the entire column of water from the well straight into the freshly dug pit.

In an instant, the pit was filled with water.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ye, Fu Feng, and Mo Xuan had already dug a drainage ditch nearby. Since the pit was on higher ground, the water slowly flowed down the ditch, revealing a layer of brown material—the very same salt Su Luoluo had brought back to the tribe before.

Once they understood her method, the Wolf Clan People couldn’t help but exclaim, "Luoluo, is that Water Energy you’re using?"

Su Luoluo had shown them her Water Ability before, but they thought she could only detect the movement of water. They never imagined she could actually draw it out like this.

This is incredible!

Suddenly, they understood why Su Luoluo’s Beastmen had been competing to carry her on the way here.

She was truly different from the frail females of the tribe.

This was also the first time Luan Ting had seen Su Luoluo manipulate Water Energy. Her focused expression was genuinely captivating.

It was a quality none of the other females in the tribe possessed.

’I really admire her.’

Fu Feng, Xiao Ye, and Mo Xuan weren’t as impressed by Su Luoluo’s display, since they had seen it before.

However, watching the Wolf Clan People stare at Su Luoluo in utter astonishment, the three of them felt a surge of pride.

’This incredible Su Luoluo is our female master.’

’She’s so much stronger than the typical frail females who need constant protection.’

Of course, out of everyone there, the most shocked was Nantu.

’He had always seen Su Luoluo as stupid, ugly, and lazy. A thoroughly detestable female who spent her days scheming to climb into their beds.’

’He never expected to return from his long trip to find her so changed. Not only could she cook, but she actually possessed a Water Ability.’

’As a merman himself, he knew full well that the skill Su Luoluo had just displayed was not weak.’

Su Luoluo had no time to worry about their stares. She focused on rapidly manipulating the water in the salt wells, drawing it out.

Seeing them all standing there stunned, she shot them a look. "What are you all staring at me for? Get to work! At this rate, I’ll have all the water drawn before you’ve even finished digging your pits."

Her words snapped them out of it, and they hurried to speed up their work.

Seeing the beastmen get busy, Su Luoluo’s eyes glinted, and she used her will to increase the speed of the water extraction.

’This Second Level Water Ability is fantastic. I can speed it up whenever I want. It saves so much trouble.’

After filling the pits they had dug, she quickly drained the remaining water from the brine. Once that was mostly done, she pointed to the beast skins they had brought. "Go on, get the salt onto the beast skins!"

They had been at it for the better part of the day, and she was getting hungry.

After giving her orders, she clapped her hands and sent Fu Feng, Mo Xuan, and Xiao Ye to hunt some chickens and ducks. Then, she took out the clay pots they had brought along.

It was time to start cooking.

There was a large group today. Besides her own Beastmen, there were over twenty members of the Wolf Clan, making a total of more than thirty people.

With plenty of coarse salt on hand, Su Luoluo naturally decided to make salt-baked dishes again.

It was simple, effortless, and could feed a large crowd.

Before they left, Su Luoluo had instructed the Wolf Clan People to bring their own pots to make cooking easier.

The Wolf Clan People had readily agreed when they heard they would get to eat a meal cooked by Su Luoluo.

Thanks to Cai Xia and Ah Zhu’s lessons, the people of the tribe had started making and using their own clay pots.

So, even cooking for such a large group, Su Luoluo didn’t lack for clay pots.

After quickly dressing the wild chickens and ducks, she was about to start a fire to roast the salt.

She had a Fire Ability and could, in fact, start a fire directly.

But Su Luoluo didn’t want to reveal this Skill. Keeping it a secret could be life-saving in a critical moment.

There were nearly a dozen pots. If she had to light a fire for each one individually, she’d be exhausted.

Su Luoluo glanced at Nantu. ’Time to raise the favorability rating of this sapiosexual.’

At this thought, a smile played on her lips as she picked up a pot and walked forward.

She was going to show off a little and give this sapiosexual Nantu a bit of a shock.
