45: Chapter 45 Nebuchadnezzar 45: Chapter 45 Nebuchadnezzar Editor: Henyee Translations Su Tang asked somewhat strangely, “Why send it to Gaiyin’s cave?
You could just keep it!”
Old Nike was taken aback.
Continuing, Su Tang said, “Gaiyin already told me yesterday that you assumed my identity mainly to protect me!
Thank you, Old Nike!”
Old Nike stroked his goat beard with a smug grin, “It was nothing!”
“Oh, right!
The…how should I deal with the Malabar Spinach in this basket?”
Su Tang thought a moment, then bashfully said, “Old Nike~ you’re a bit older than me, if you don’t mind, I would like to call you uncle, and teach you medical skills too!”
“Thump!”
The basket in Old Nike’s hand fell to the ground.
“Ah!
My egg was still inside!”
Su Tang let out an exclamation and knelt down quickly to check.
Luckily, there was a thick layer of Malabar spinach padding it, so the Gugu egg was lying unharmed in the basket.
Old Nike was so excited that his hands were trembling as he helped Su Tang to her feet.
“Good kid!
I don’t mind!
From now on, I’m your uncle!
Anyone who wants to bully you will have to get past me, Old Nike, first!”
Su Tang pursed her lips and gave a shy smile, “Uncle Nike~ just call me Tangtang!”
“Hey~ Tangtang!”
“Uncle Nike~”
After their moment of warmth, Old Nike grew serious again.
“Tangtang, even though you consider me your uncle, you must think it through.
Medical skills are important in any tribe!
Are you really willing to teach me?
If you don’t teach me, I won’t blame you.
I’ll still be your Uncle!”
Old Nike’s words deeply moved Su Tang!
This was the only person here, besides Gaiyin, who was purely considering her wellbeing.
So as not to break the mood, Su Tang grew serious as well.
“Uncle Nike!
I am serious!
While medical skills may be rare here, in our tribe, as long as you want to become a doctor, there are dedicated teachers to guide you!”
At this point, Su Tang dropped her gaze shyly, “Uncle Nike, in truth, I was still a student in our tribe.
I’m not yet a doctor.
I hope you don’t mind!”
Old Nike was greatly shocked!
What kind of tribe was Su Tang talking about?
From what he knew, even the Upper Beast City couldn’t freely teach medical skills.
How powerful would a tribe need to be to do that?
Could their Winged Tiger Tribe ever reach that point someday?
“Tangtang!
What are you and Old Nike doing over there?
We’ve used up all the ghost vines!
Come see the baskets we’ve woven!”
Yuanyuan called out excitedly to Su Tang.
Su Tang tugged on the dazed Old Nike, “Uncle Nike, let’s go have a look~ I found many Gugu Beast eggs in the reed cluster today.
I’ll cook them for you at noon.
They taste amazing!”
Old Nike nodded with a grin.
When they got to the open area, seven or eight nimble females had already finished their baskets, happily trying them on!
Yuanyuan had made one too!
Upon seeing Su Tang approach, she ran excitedly in a circle in front of her, “Tangtang, how did I do?”
“It looks lovely, Yuanyuan!
You’re so clever!”
The many unnamed females swarmed over to Su Tang, complimenting her profusely!
They were mostly saying things like she was a kind-hearted girl and that the Beast God would bless her and so forth.
Tiemu and the other Beastman came back with four baskets full of chestnuts, which finally allowed Su Tang to escape the crowd.
She had Tiemu pour the chestnuts onto a sunny spot, and spread them out to ensure that each one was bathed in ample sunlight.
