Chapter 525: The Great Leader - 43 Liyingqing's Reward-Inspired Bonus Update
No way, the people in this world live long, so naturally, their youth is extended. This results in everyone Shuangshuang sees being young, and among these youngsters, there are often people who have become grandfathers, grandmothers, and even ancestors!
No matter how many times it happens, Shuangshuang always finds it eerie to have such young grandparents, especially when she has a young grandmother who looks like her Ah Ma. She just can't bring herself to call her "Granny," feeling as if calling such a young woman "Granny" is an insult.
Shuangshuang's Granny didn't notice her awkwardness. She leaned over, directly picked up Shuangshuang in her arms, and then said with a smile, "Little Shuangshuang doesn't recognize Granny anymore. Granny used to hold little Shuangshuang when you were a baby."
Although Shuangshuang was a reincarnated infant, knowing things from birth, she didn't understand the language of this world when she was a baby. Naturally, she wouldn't know who was talking and certainly wouldn't know who her Granny was.
As for being held, many people held her when she was little. How could she remember who was who? But Shuangshuang couldn't say that, so she just looked at her young Granny with a dazed expression and shook her head.
The unfamiliar young man beside them stepped forward and said to Shuangshuang's Granny, "Shancha, how can you expect her to remember? Babies don't have memories, they can't recall who you are."
After Shuangshuang's Granny Shancha was finished speaking, the young man bent over and said to Shuangshuang in Shancha's arms with a gentle smile, "Little Shuangshuang, I am your Grandpa. Come let Grandpa give you a hug!"
Shuangshuang blushed. This young Grandpa was very handsome and looked gentle when he smiled. He was incredibly charming, making Shuangshuang unconsciously forget her awkwardness, only to feel embarrassed after being hugged tightly by this young Grandpa.
Even though she knew this was her grandpa, having such a young grandpa made Shuangshuang a bit uncomfortable. She felt that her soul was already that of an adult, yet she was being held by a man who looked the same age as her, which was too embarrassing.
So right after she was hugged by her young Grandpa, Shuangshuang struggled and climbed down, then blushing, retreated into Ah Ma Grass's arms. She was once again held firmly by Father Tieh, who embraced both her and Ah Ma Grass, and Shuangshuang felt she was most comfortable being held by her parents.
Seeing his suddenly empty embrace, Shuangshuang's Grandpa paused, and was then mercilessly teased by Granny Shancha, "Haha, Ya, your charm that works on children has failed. My dear Shuangshuang doesn't like you!"
After laughing, Shancha looked at Shuangshuang and said, "Good Shuangshuang, Granny likes you so much! Tell Granny, do you like Granny or Grandpa more?" As Shancha spoke, Shuangshuang's Grandpa Ya also hastily smiled gently and said, "Shuangshuang, Grandpa likes you a lot too. You can't just like Granny and not Grandpa."
Shuangshuang was speechless. How could this young pair of grandparents be so lively? Moreover, Shuangshuang was not accustomed to such intimate interactions with relatives whom she barely saw growing up. Although it didn't feel fake, the enthusiasm seemed a bit over the top.
Shuangshuang had a knot in her heart. The Lanshan Tribe and the Power Tribe were so close to each other and were not enemies. On the contrary, they had a great relationship.
If Ya and Shancha really wanted to see Grass, they could have seen her anytime. Why hadn't they been seen for so many years? Shuangshuang felt that these two people's enthusiasm was a bit fake.
However, regardless, Shuangshuang could see that her Ah Ma Grass and Father Tieh still respected Shancha and Ya, so Shuangshuang followed suit, showing her respect, though as for being close, she could do without it.
After that, Shuangshuang played the role of a shy child hiding in Ah Ma Grass's arms. She was too lazy to pretend to show affection, but Shuangshuang was also not foolish enough to express her indifference. Whenever the conversation involved her, she'd add a few words; otherwise, she acted as if she was invisible.
People didn't chat for long before Lanshan Tribe's leader Mangshan and Power Tribe's leader Ben, Witch Doctor Yu and her Mother Yun, Father Zhi came over together to check on Shuangshuang's condition.
Seeing that Shuangshuang was awake, Yu was the first to come happily, "Shuangshuang, you're awake? How are you feeling? Any discomfort?"
Shuangshuang smiled at the Witch, who was kind to her, and said, "I feel great, no discomfort at all."
Yu, not quite reassured, stepped forward, grasped Shuangshuang's hand, and then Shuangshuang felt a gentle force flow into her body through her palm, traveling throughout her limbs and bones, and then returning to Yu's palm.
Shuangshuang had never felt the flow of witch power so distinctly within her body before. After Yu retracted her witch power, Shuangshuang also experienced an unprecedented feeling of comfort.
Just now, while Yu's witch power was circulating in her body, Shuangshuang sensed a force in her lower abdomen itching to follow the moving witch power.
But she forcibly suppressed this urge, unsure if doing so would affect Yu. If this force clashed with Yu's power within her body, that would be troublesome.
After Yu withdrew the witch power, she was very excited and said to Shuangshuang, "Excellent, your body's recovery is great, and your physical quality has reached the level of a High-level Warrior. Currently, Shuangshuang, you are already the strongest in our Power Tribe."
Ben and Mangshan looked at Shuangshuang up and down, their eyes filled with strong fighting spirit. Shuangshuang was now an Advanced Warrior, whose physical qualities far surpassed ordinary warriors. Plus, the primitive nature meant that no one underestimated Shuangshuang just because she was a child, so these two already regarded Shuangshuang as a warrior like themselves.
Facing a warrior who might be stronger than themselves, being competitive primitives, the two naturally wanted to have a fight with Shuangshuang. It's just that newly made warriors need time to train and grasp their post-warrior bodies to unleash their potential strength.
So although the two were filled with fighting spirit, they didn't immediately challenge Shuangshuang to a fight. But it was evident that once Shuangshuang fully grasped her own strength, apart from Ben and Mangshan, there would definitely be no shortage of people wanting to fight her!
Shuangshuang was happy too, but alongside her happiness was some confusion. Weren't Yu and Ben supposed to tell her how to use warrior power in combat? Why did they just check her physical condition?
Seeing that no one was addressing it, Shuangshuang straightforwardly asked Yu and Ben, "Witch, Leader, how do I use the warrior's power in battle?"
