Chapter 12: Young Lord of the White Great City

The water pipe continued to emit a whistling sound.

Shou lifted his head, his face slightly flushed from exertion. The surrounding people from the Golden Centipede Tribe wore expressions of anticipation. As expected, nothing happened. The trick Zhuang Yu played, claiming that sucking out the air from the pipe would result in a continuous flow of water, was indeed just a fantasy. This little troublemaker, Zhuang Yu, was becoming more and more audacious, even daring to toy with the hunting team.

Shou looked at the group of children. "Now you know you've been deceived? Live your life honestly from now on and don't associate with idle people."

Just as he finished speaking, he heard a gurgling sound coming from the water pipe. Shou paused, turning to look at the pipe.

"Splash!"

Clear water sprayed out from the pipe with a gurgling sound, splashing all over Shou's body and face. His entire beast skin was soaked, yet he remained oblivious. The water sparkled in the sunlight, reflecting a unique sheen.

All the sounds stopped. The accusations against Zhuang Yu by the Golden Centipede Tribe members, Shou's admonition to the children from the collective cave, at this moment, everything disappeared, leaving only the continuous flow of water.

The children from the collective cave, mouths agape, wiped their eyes, which had turned red from being scolded earlier, and then exclaimed, "Water, it's water! We knew Brother Yu didn't deceive us!"

Then, with pride, they raised their heads and looked at the adults from the Golden Centipede Tribe. "It's obvious that you know nothing, yet you scolded Brother Yu."

"Brother Yu said there would be water, and there is. You didn't believe it, hmph."

Zhuang Yu rubbed the heads of these proud and willful children. They were a group of little ones who stuck to their guns, but he liked them.

Zhuang Yu said, "Let's fetch the water now. After fetching the water, I'll give you all a bath. You're as dirty as monkeys."

The children from the collective cave were indeed as dirty as a bunch of little stray cats. They hadn't had the conditions to bathe before, but now they did, and they needed to learn that cleanliness was important for staying healthy.

A group of children happily began to fetch water with large shells, their laughter ringing like bells. They no longer needed to rush to fetch water only when the ancestral beast drank; from now on, they could use water whenever they wanted.

Meanwhile, Shou and the adults from the Golden Centipede Tribe were still staring dumbfoundedly at the continuously flowing water pipe. The words spoken by Zhuang Yu from the Water Marsh Tribe were actually true. How was that possible? Wasn't Yu just a lazy person who couldn't do anything?

Many people from the Golden Centipede Tribe hurried over from a distance, their faces filled with incredulity.

Zhuang Yu looked at the shells filled with water, plugged the water pipe with a prepared stopper, and then walked away with a group of children from the collective cave, leaving behind a magical silhouette.

Now, Zhuang Yu left this group of people with a very strange and magical feeling. They couldn't react for a while. The Yu they knew before was so different. How did he do it?

Even the Witch, Tribe Elder, and young lord of the Golden Centipede Tribe rushed over.

The Witch looked puzzled at everyone. "I just heard that Yu from the Water Marsh Tribe used a magical method to bring about a continuous flow of water. What's going on?"
