Yu Ying’s cheeks imdiately turned red as she recalled her previous actions. She felt extrely embarrassed.
The first ti she saw the pillow, curiosity drove her to try it out. From the mont her head touched it, she was completely captivated by the comfort of the pillow. She wondered how sothing could be so comfortable. Even so, she forced herself to quickly get up.
She knew she could not keep lying there. It would be terrible if the Shaman returned from the bathroom and saw her.
After experiencing the comfort of that pillow, she felt endless guilt in her heart. It was for no other reason than that as a Shaman Priestess, how could she touch the Shaman’s personal items without permission?
This feeling continued to tornt her, making her feel extrely embarrassed. She was very anxious for a few days after that incident.
“Shaman… I… I didn’t an to.” Yu Ying did not know what else to say at this mont. She lowered her head, tightly closing her eyes, just waiting for her dues.
“Hahaha…” Su Bai could not help but chuckle upon seeing her worried expression. It was no big deal to him. If she wanted to sleep with it, she could. There was nothing wrong with that.
“It’s fine, I don’t mind. Don’t need to feel guilty about it.” Su Bai gently said.
Seeing her pink eyes filled with tears, he felt heartbroken, not expecting her to feel so insecure. [The rules of Primitive Tribes are just too harsh. Such minor matters are enough to make them so fearful….]
Yu Ying tried hard to hold back her almost-falling tears. She lifted her head and looked at him pitifully, “Really?”
Her delicate nose had already turned red. Her pink eyes were filled with teardrops, looking incredibly endearing.
Looking at her made one want to hold her in their arms and cherish her. How could anyone bear to make this adorable creature sad?
Su Bai was no exception. He reached out to pat her head, his voice gentle as the clouds. “It’s fine. From now on, you can touch my things whenever you want. No need to be so reserved.”
“Shaman, I won’t do it again.” Yu Ying imdiately promised.
Her expression had already changed after learning she would not be punished. It was no longer pitiful, but instead showed a solemn expression.
Su Bai saw her puffed-up face and wanted to laugh again. “Okay, okay..”
“Shaman, I’ll grill you so delicious at tonight.” Yu Ying’s pink fox ears stood straight up.
“Co with to check on the condition of the main road first.” Su Bai was truly lting from her cuteness.
After going downstairs, they walked to the starting point of the main road, not far from the entrance. It has been under construction for so ti.
“It’s so wide! Is this the road? It must be very comfortable to walk on.” Yu Ying remarked.
It had to be noted that the cent road was very spacious. Looking at it now, one could not see the end because it was still under construction. Though, it was almost complete.
“When the fences are removed, we can try walking on it.” Su Bai said.
Currently, the cent road was surrounded by wooden fences. These were ant to prevent children from running onto it and leaving footprints.
If the cent was not dry, footprints would be left behind, which would look awful and make the road not even anymore. Even though the beginning section had been laid for so ti, to be safe, they needed to let it cure for several more days.
Therefore, until now, no one had walked on the completed sections of the road.
“Shaman, why are there gaps on top? Did soone step on it?” Yu Ying crouched down to look at the marks.
“No, I had them intentionally make them. This way, the road will last longer.” Su Bai explained.
These gaps were to prevent the cent from deforming – due to expansion and contraction.
On Earth, roads commonly had these gaps too, specifically to extend their lifespan.
“Lifespan? Does the road have life?” Yu Ying widened her eyes and quickly stepped away from the road before her.
She kept blinking, her small hands behind her back fidgeting uncomfortably, as if looking at sothing strange.
“You really are a treasure, you know that?” Su Bai smiled. “I’m not saying the road is alive. Just that it can be used for longer without getting damaged with these gaps.”
“Oh, I see,” Yu Ying finally relaxed and continued asking: “But why is there a long small path beside the road?”
“Those are for drainage. Otherwise, all the rainwater would sink into the soil, and the fields would beco very muddy,” Su Bai explained.
“But even without these, rain water would still fall into the soil,” Yu Ying did not quite understand, since the road did not cover all the soil.
“It’s better to distribute at least so of it. Otherwise, if all the rainwater flows into the soil, wouldn’t it beco even muddier?” Su Bai asked in return.
He had actually thought about this too. However, at this point, it was not realistic to cover the entire Tribe with cent.
Besides, natural soil grounds still had so use. If all the soil was covered with cent, how would the entire Tribe be any different from a modern city? It would just be less developed.
Su Bai did not want that. He wanted the Tribe to have a modern feel to it while still maintaining its greenery.
He had already planned to have the remaining exposed soil be partly covered with crushed sand, while the rest would be used to plant trees.
The Tribe should not just have cent buildings and cent roads. It needed to have greenery too. This would make it more comfortable to live in and more pleasant to look at, certainly better than seeing nothing but gray everywhere.
“I understand now.” Yu Ying nodded.
Su Bai stood up and waved over to the cat eared girl in the distance, explaining his recent thoughts to her.
Of course, he did not ntion planting trees. The rainy season was coming. If they plant saplings now, they would just die from the rain.
For now, they could only lay a layer of crushed stones around the road and near the buildings.
Recently, building cent houses required tons of stones. Naturally, natural stones were not uniformly shaped. So, they needed to be hamred into the suitable shapes. This hamring produced naturally produced crushed stones.

Those crushed stones could be perfectly used to fill the soil. They could first lay sand on the ground, then put the crushed stones on top.
“Understood, I’ll have people work on it right away.” Sha Lan thought this thod was excellent.
With this, they would not have to walk on muddy roads anymore, which not only covered feet in mud but also made it easy for them to get stuck to the ground.
“Tell them to speed up the work.” Su Bai instructed.
“Understood.” Sha Lan responded.
