Seeing them like this, she knew Zhi would surely become their leader. Zhi stood up, approached the altar respectfully, and extended his hand to Shen Yunyun. Shen Yunyun put away the speaker and placed her hand in Zhi’s. Zhi’s strong, powerful hand grasped her small one, carefully lifting her down from the altar. He set her on his left shoulder, carrying her to show her off to the crowd. The beastmen all cheered. “Beast God, it hasn’t rained in a while due to the drought. Could you grant us some rain?” a beastman with a feathered headdress dared to ask. Shen Yunyun casually flicked out a rain talisman. Instantly, dark clouds covered the sun, and fierce winds rose. Zhi quickly shifted Shen Yunyun from his shoulder into his arms, holding her tightly as he ran toward the cave. His speed was incredible. Shen Yunyun could hear the wind whistling past her ears. The moment they entered the cave, a torrential downpour crashed from the sky. The other beastmen also returned to their own dens, all of them brimming with excitement. Today, the Beast God had revealed her true form. Unlike the tall, mighty image they had imagined, she was so delicate and adorable. “I wish the Beast God would sit on my back and let me carry her as I run—I’d go so fast.” “The Beast God should sit on my back; I can carry her and fly.” “I’d share my food with the Beast God.” Inside Zhi’s cave. Shen Yunyun looked at what he called his treasures: some shells and a few pearls the size of chicken eggs. Such large natural pearls must be quite valuable. There was also a glowing stone, though she had no idea if it emitted radiation. “I’ll take these few items. From now on, lead the tribe well. When I have time, I’ll come to help you,” Shen Yunyun said. “Yes, Beast God.” Shen Yunyun nodded, took the pearls and the glowing stone, and returned to the trading center. Zhi watched as the Beast God vanished before his eyes, thinking to himself, *So the Beast God likes shiny pearls. From now on, I’ll catch more hard-shelled monsters—some of them have pearls inside.* After returning, Shen Yunyun put away the large pearls and looked at the glowing stone, unsure where to place it. She was genuinely afraid of radiation. Radiation could cause genetic mutations, and genetic mutations could lead to cancer. If she got cancer, she wouldn’t feel any pain or discomfort until it started hurting—and by then, it would mean she was done for. But she didn’t even have a radiation suit. She should have bought one to wear, even if it was useless—it would at least serve as a placebo. Yet if she gave up this big stone, she felt like she might be missing out on a fortune. *Forget it,* she thought. *I’ll just find a cultivation master later and trade for more elixirs. Pills like the Nine-Turn Soul-Reviving Pill should cure any ailment.* Nervously, she went over the remaining wishes in her mind. She planned to visit the Empress next time and check on Little Tangyuan. But the thought that Little Tangyuan might be her husband in this timeline made her feel incredibly awkward. At exactly two in the morning, Shen Yunyun clocked out on time, collapsed onto her soft bed, and quickly fell asleep. Radiation, cancer—she shoved it all out of her mind. She slept until she naturally woke up, feeling fully rested. Stretching, she called Tang Yu. Wei Lingling happened to be delivering a homemade meal to Tang Yu. She caught the faint sound of a young woman’s voice on the other end of the line, lowered her eyes, and pretended not to notice anything.
