Chapter 58: Taking the Initiative
‘What should I do?’
A trace of anxiety flashed in Hai Lan’s eyes.
Yi Chen would inevitably go outside someday.
But how long would that day be? She could hardly determine.
Moreover, even if he did go out, would he be drawn to her house? That was also hard to predict.
After all, she had already failed once.
The flute playing she had skillfully performed was meant to suggest to the high priest to help her get recommended to Yi Chen; it should have been a sure thing, yet it ended in failure.
Her music, in the primitive era, could certainly sway hearts.
But the result was that it couldn’t even provoke Yi Chen’s curiosity.
Her looks belonged to the ranks of world-class beauties in the primitive world.
The men of the tribe, even the older ones, gazed at her with greed, looking for all sorts of chances to get close to her.
The house she meticulously arranged also felt out of place with the era, filled with beauty.
The room was softly lit, the bed comfortable, and the fragrance pleasant, making one unable to resist indulging in imaginative thoughts.
Logically, once Yi Chen saw it, he would gradually get lost in it.
But logically…
This logic couldn’t be applied to Yi Chen.
And she had no time to wait.
As far as she knew, the four armies had already approached the edge of the Flame Mountain range.
If they expanded further, they would soon encounter other tribes.
Once those tribes were swallowed up, it would mean her competitors would increase significantly.
If she didn’t build a close relationship with Yi Chen and establish an advantage now, achieving that later would become even more difficult.
‘I can’t wait any longer!’
After much thought, Hai Lan finally decided to take the initiative.
She had had enough of life in the primitive era.
Every day, eating the same beast meat, she also had to smile boldly as if relishing it.
She was even more fed up with this body.
On the exile planet, although this body was a stunning beauty, it still attracted countless greedy and envious gazes.
But her sense of aesthetics was different from that of the exile planet.
With giant bones, rough dark skin, and a voice like thunder, she felt uncomfortable all over.
She had to complete the task as soon as possible, find a way to return to other planets in the Milky Way, and restore her previous appearance.
Taking a deep breath, she went to the corner and took out a snake skin bag.
Inside, there were a few dried flowers that still emitted a strange fragrance.
Hai Lan took one and ground it into powder with a stone, then gently applied the fragrant powder to the arteries on her neck and wrists.
After that, she opened the door and walked towards the wooden house at the end of the valley where Yi Chen was.
…
“Eh, what is she up to?”
In the live room, many people were still paying attention to Hai Lan.
After all, she was the first heavy criminal to successfully infiltrate the Flame Mountain Tribe and held great potential for the public’s hopes of obtaining various skills in advance.
Her unusual actions immediately caught the attention of many.
In fact, she even drew the viewers’ cameras towards her.
“I guess she can’t hold back anymore and is going to take the initiative.”
One viewer quickly guessed her intention.
“Guli proved that even a stunning beauty’s advances are useless.”
“Yi Chen’s resolve is unimaginably strong.”
“Moreover, taking the initiative reduces the level of temptation!”
“I agree; her strategies during this period have been quite good. The design of the wooden house and its decorations look very appealing.”
“She should wait patiently for Yi Chen to notice the unusualness of the wooden house, then gradually deepen the connection to reveal her uniqueness. Taking the initiative seems to diminish her charm.”
“Not necessarily; passively waiting is too uncertain. Taking the initiative isn’t out of the question.”
“After all, she is a professional, far beyond what Guli can compare to. Only by getting close to Yi Chen can she showcase her abilities.”
“Since she can’t keep in touch with Yi Chen, she might as well proactively reach out like now. Although it loses some mystery and allure, it won’t be too harmful.”
The viewers in the live room became excited.
“True, just because Guli’s advances failed doesn’t mean Hai Lan will too. There’s a huge difference between the two.”
“I wonder if you all remember that Guli made her advances right after Yi Chen killed the green leopard.”
“And she also had Rog, this huge distraction, with her.”
“Plus, with the massive corpse of the green leopard nearby, it’s normal for Yi Chen to not be interested in Guli.”
“Hai Lan is different; she is well-dressed and has been living a boring life with Yi Chen for more than two months.”
“In terms of language and actions, as a professional, Hai Lan would definitely surpass Guli.”
“Adding the mysterious charm she’s built up before, the chances of success are quite high!”
“If she really succeeds, we might learn the complete version of the Heaven-Slashing Technique and the Spirit Law-level Chaos Technique in the next couple of days!”
The audience in the live room grew more and more excited.
Everyone’s focus was on Hai Lan, eagerly anticipating the success of her scheme of beauty.
…
In the valley, Hai Lan arrived at Yi Chen’s wooden house.
Although she attracted a lot of attention, most of it was from men’s greed and women’s jealousy.
No one tried to stop her.
This was one of the shortcomings of the high priest, the actual ruler of the Flame Mountain Tribe.
Outside Yi Chen’s house, there wasn’t even one guard.
Of course, this was also due to the lack of manpower in the Flame Mountain Tribe.
The entire tribe had just over one thousand six hundred people.
Aside from the elderly and children, there were fewer than one thousand adults.
Most of them had joined the four armies led by the four main leaders.
A small portion had to be responsible for transporting various supplies and communications, leaving very few people available.
Arriving at Yi Chen’s door, Hai Lan took a deep breath and quickly organized her thoughts in her mind.
Then she raised her hand and gently knocked on Yi Chen’s door.
Knock, knock.
On the wooden bed, the Little Gold Ball jumped up excitedly.
Yi Chen also opened his eyes.
Just as he was about to get up to open the door,
Squeak…
The Little Gold Ball, obviously restless during this time, leaped off the bed and rushed to open the door.
Yi Chen didn’t stop it.
Although the Little Gold Ball was only a few centimeters tall, its strength had already reached the level of ten fierce beasts.
Its jumping ability and power were extraordinary.
It ran to the door, leaped up, and pushed the door latch open.
Then it grabbed the door crack and pushed the door open.
With a creak,
Hai Lan appeared before them.
“Who are you?”
Yi Chen was surprised.
He thought it was the high priest coming to report something, but unexpectedly, a tribe member he had never seen before stood at the door.
“Chieftain, I am Hai Lan. May I come in?”
Hai Lan asked softly.
Her eyes sparkled with admiration and hope, her voice was clear yet gentle and shy.
Her fingers gently fidgeted,
contrasted with her sturdy figure and rough, dark skin.
There was a wildness mixed with the demeanor of a little woman.
Yi Chen nearly choked.
The audience in the live room almost choked as well, but they were inexplicably excited.
