Slaughter God - Chapter 1 - Youngster
Translated by James
“Unbelievable, Miss Rain Bamboo, the number one beauty of our Fire Sparrow Tribe, publicly announced that she’s having a marriage engagement with the outsider Ji Li.”
“Say what? Miss Rain Bamboo was the genius of our tribe. For centuries we have not have someone like her. How could this outsider brat be good enough a match for her?”
“With so many talents in our tribe and not to mention that she’s the daughter of the tribal chief, how could she be in an engagement with that outsider?”
“Where is this Ji Li? I will fight him. I’ll show Miss YuZhu that I’m a better match than him for her!”
“You? Chances are before you even reach Ji Li, you’ll be beaten by Miss Rain Bamboo already. I’ve heard that she’s very fond of him.”
……….
On this day, the Fire Sparrow Tribe opened its nest.
Who was Miss YuZhu? She’s the daughter of the Fire Sparrow Tribe’s chief, the number one beauty and the number one genius amongst the younger generation. Almost all the younger males in the tribe fell for her. Her reputation has even spread to the nearby tribes, causing an influx of people to try to win her heart.
Who was Ji Li? No one know!
However, this heavenly girl suddenly publicly announced her engagement to this unknown outsider.
Although her father, the chief, still did not acknowledge it, the explosive news of her engagement have spread across the whole Fire Sparrow Tribe.
Upon hearing the news, countless young men’s dreams were crushed, countless talented men’s lives darkened. All their anger naturally came pouring down on this foreign brat Ji Li.
In a tribe of thousands, hundreds of young men wanted to see what this Ji Li was about and are actively searching for JiLi to duel him.
Evening. The sleepy yellow sun, like a drunkard, slowly crooked away towards the western mountains.
Twilight fell in the Fire Sparrow Lake located in the forest not far from the Fire Sparrow Tribe gleaming the river with a gorgeous shine.
Combined with the rows of red reflections of the forest, this great lake was beautifully decorated.
Although it’s a beautiful scenery, there rarely existed people who appreciate it.
At this point there was only a youngster in yellow lying on the coarse grass by the lake lazily chewing a straw. His hands holding the back of the head, humming an unknown song, with a preoccupied appearance.
“What sadness…”
This youngster was none but Ji Li who just attained the whole wrath of the Fire Sparrow Tribe. However, as the main character of the event, he was not really excited being favored by the number one beauty. Instead, there’s a faint melancholy look on his face.
Yes, for other youngsters this would be a great news. But it only made him distressed.
“As they said women change eighteen times growing older, the cute and obedient loli of my childhood turned into a big royal sister and even advanced up to a queen’s level. Fait accompli! She declared right away that she’ll be engaged to me….” JiLi muttered while looking at the clear sky.
[TL: Fait accompli is a French saying meaning a thing that has already happened or been decided before those affected hear about it, leaving them with no option but to accept. It is the equivalent to the chinese saying that was used. I can't find a English term for the same thing so I had to settle for the French term.]
As a person who crossed to this strange world with memories intact. Being born to the Fire Sparrow Tribe of the wild, he was looking at Ji Rain Bamboo through a young adult’s viewpoint growing up.
He vaguely remembers that when he was about six years old, that courageous loli had declared “If one can’t conquers the river’s lake, how could one ever conquer the world” and then proceeding to drown in said lake. In a blink of an eye, a decade has pass. As for the latter’s growth changes, he felt saddened.
Thinking that it is partially due to him, the word ‘karma’ came into his mind.
Yes, many of Rain Bamboo’s ideas were taught by him. Ideas such as gender equality and everyone being free to pursue their love… as a result, she was now courageously pursuing her love.
“What to do now?” Ji Li at this point is starting to get headaches.
As for Rain Bamboo, since they have been together since childhood, he cannot deny that he’s not attracted to her.
But in this world where strength dominants, his strength was from being not talented. Not to mention that Rain Bamboo was known as the “second genius” of the Fire Sparrow Tribe. Without doubt, once he accepted the engagement, there will be countless people issuing challenges against him. While Rain Bamboo would protect him, he does not want to forever be a person that is being protected by his wife.
A man being protected by a woman? That’s a very sad topic.
“Strength…” hearts entangled, JiLi slightly sighed.
It’s been fifteen years since his rebirth. Gradually, he began to have a better understanding of this world.
Vast mountains, ancient forests, great rivers, strongmen, fierce beasts… this world was one of chaos with tribes fighting for supremacy.
The Fire Sparrow Tribe was located in a region southwest to a barren. It was said to be a very old tribe but with the current three thousand or so tribal members, it could only be regarded as a small tribe.
In this dangerous great barren, the greatest threat to humanity are the fierce beasts.
Fierce beasts are very powerful beast. However, not all beasts could be called fierce beast for even the weakest of the fierce beast could cause massive damage to a small tribe. In addition, when a tribe killed a fierce beast, it is qualified to gain a class title. For example, Fire Sparrow Tribe have once killed a low level fierce beast and gained the rights to call itself lowest tier tribe.
There are many powerful tribes controlling the great barren. In general, every accomplished tribe will have a totem made of ironwood. All the fierce beasts that the tribe hunted down will be hanged on the totem signifying strength and glory while gaining respect of other tribes.
