Chapter 66

Everything happened so quickly. The Golden Serpent Clan was supposed to be the main branch of the whole tribe, but because of what happened yesterday. The reputation of the Golden Serpent Tribe had hit rock bottom. Luciano is still the Patriarch of the Golden Serpent Clan, but he was no longer the main patriarch of the whole tribe.

When the mandate was transferred to the Emerald Serpent Clan, Alonzo recieved three big treasure chests. Alonzo pursed his lips as he stared at the three chests that were given by all the elders in the tribe as a congratulatory gift.

Xinn sitting on Alonzo's lap, on the other hand felt like a concubine being pampered by the emperor who was sitting on the throne, their position was exactly the same as the discriptions.

" What are these things? I don't think they have uses for my daily life."

Xinn looked curiously at three chests then pulled them with his spiritual energy to his arms. Alonzo looked at the chest on his wife's lap and waited for him to open it.

Once Xinn opened the chest, the two of them immediately sensed the energy sealed inside.

" Spiritual cores? " Xinn's eyes widened in shock when he discovered this.

Alonzo's eyes also had a hint of disbelief in it. Alonzo thought those elders would give him something like pearls or rare shells.

Xinn laughed in satisfaction and immediately kissed Alonzo's lips. " Oh goodness, I didn't expect them to deliver us what we exactly wanted to get. "

Alonzo's relaxed and a hint of appreciation and satisfaction also appeared on his countenance. Alonzo patted Xinn's waist and said gently. " Put it inside the space. "

Xinn nodded hearing him. " As you wish " Xinn waved his hand and enveloped all of the treasure chests with his spiritual energy. A few seconds later, the three chests immediately disappeared into his space.

----

Ever since they were appointed as the Main Patriarch and Main Femeissa. Alonzo and Xinn changed their clothing style and wore the tribal traditional clothes.

Xinn crouched down in embarrassment and covered his legs.." I can't wear this hahaha "

Alonzo at the side knocked his head on the wooden wall and chuckled. " I kinda felt uncomfortable, it has been a long time since I had last wore clothes like this. "

They were made from flax plants and made into a linen fabric. Currently, Xinn is wearing a short linen skirt with sea shells and scale decorations. He had nothing on his upper body and immediately got shy.

" At least let me wear my leather waistcoat! "

Alonzo immediately opened the closet in the room and pulled out a towel to covered Xinn's back. Xinn then watched as the towel covered his back,arms, shoulder. It kinda look like a robe with long sleeves, now that Xinn brought two parts to his front.

Xinn looked down at his exposed legs covered with hand marks and immediately shook his head. " No, I don't care about your tribal traditions, but if you intend to show them my bruised legs. Then I'm sorry, I won't participate with this gimmick. "

Xinn immediately removed the towel and and skirt from his body and summoned his own clothes.

In the end, when the whole tribe gathered in the square. They saw the two newly crowned tribal rulers, not wearing the traditional clothings they prepared.

When Xinn's shoulders were pushed down as he sat on the chair. He crossed his arms with a calm expression.

Several married females behind, glanced at the Main Femeissa with complicated eyes.

" Nope, I won't wear that skin revealing clothes. " Xinn strongly refused and shook his head.

The whole tribe sighed helplessly. It seems that their Tribal Main Femeissa is too sophisticated and holy that he doesn't even want to reveal his skin to the tribe.

The green haired man sitting beside Xinn held his wooden staff and spoke to the whole tribe. " This new year, the previous Main Patriarch was revoked of his position as the Tribal Chief of this tribe consisted of varieties of clans. As the new Main Patriarch, or Chief of this Big Serpent Tribe. I hope that everyone lives a healthy and happy life throughout this year. "

" I may not be the most excellent Chief of the history, but I promise you that I will not abuse my authority to do useless thing and bring downfall to the whole tribe. "

" Everyone, let us grow and develop as a whole. Improve and help our tribe, and bring our lives a more convenient and safe place to inhabit . "

Alonzo uttered his speech with a strict expression and everyone listened to him. No one dares to be noisy or interrupt him as he speaks.

Adrian, the patriarch of the Emerald Serpent Clan turned his head to the Main Femeissa. " Does... Does the Chief's wife have anything to say to the tribe? "

Xinn rested his cheek on his fist and arc up his brows. " I don't have anything to say. I can only garantee everyone, that I am not as ruthless and bad as you think I might be. "

" I don't really desire to rule a tribe as it feels more troublesome. All I want to do is cuddle with my husband and take care of my children. "

" But since this is inevitable, all I can do here... As your Main Femeissa, is to help everyone improve your livelihood. Solve any problems that could be solved, or implement better rules and regulations to make this tribe more formal and systemized. "

Everyone watched the man sitting lazily on the chair as he spoke slowly. The female had his eyes narrowed at them as he spoke. As time passed while they were listening, they realized that this female was so honest and bold.

He doesn't know shame and even frank to the point they got speechless.

Alonzo spoke for a while before dismissing all of them. Alonzo and Xinn entered the meeting hall and was introduced to several elders ( patriarchs ).

Alonzo politely asked everyone to take good care of him. Xinn just smiled and listened at the side as everyone discussed future plans for the tribe.

When it comes to Tribal Development. Xinn suggested that they should communicate more and trade with land Beastman as to increase and find more resources and get easier access to things that might be useful to them, island beings and sea creatures.

Xinn also told them that the females in the islands rarely eat other foods that were mostly found on lands.

Xinn also criticized the elders for letting pregnant females eat fishes that contains mercury that is poisonous to the baby.

Eating a lot of fish is not harmful, but mercury that sea creatures absorb is harmful to the non Beastman or merfolk.

Most young females do have healthy bodies but there's a very high risk when it comes to pregnancy.

Xinn started stacking books on the table and handed each one of them their respective books based on their specialization.

Merfolks held the hand on salt trading. However, they were too territorial and possessive. The location of their island is heavily guarded and their females were not even allowed to interact with land Beastman.

Xinn suggest they should build boats and use an island near the mainland as the market area for trading seafoods.

Alonzo agreed with Xinn's suggestions and even wanted his Northern Mountain to establish a connection with his Serpent Clan.

Hearing that, the elders saw a bright potential in this. It had been a long time too since they had last tasted land meat.

By the time the meeting ended, all the elders' happily exited the room while holding stacks of educational books.

Time passed quickly, the tribe rapidly improved in a blink of an eye.

Island people couldn't grow plants in their land as most plants would die if watered with saline water. Xinn led a group of serpents into the island mountains to dig a well. Most islands do have small creeks and lakes in them, islands can only get freshwater from rain and fresh water is scarce.

Since desalination is a complicated matter. Xinn gave them a stack of book about finding freshwater under the ground.

Xinn rode on top of Snowie to visit the other Serpent Clan Islands and was disappointed to find that some of them don't posses natural fresh water resources.

He then suggested that everyone should trade their specialties to the other clans that have water resources.

Connections is important, and what Xinn had observed about them is that they were not united. They only care about their own clan.

Xinn could understand that they were struggling in their own lives and could not afford to connect with each other as they were busy and concerned with their own territory's lack of natural resources.

When the Purple Serpent Clan came to the Blue Serpent Clan who possessed a small creek in their island. The Purple Serpent Clan asked if they could exchange water with medicine.

The Blue Serpent Clan was more than delighted to hear this and immediately agreed. The two white haired elders happily shook their hands together as they reached an agreement.

The Silver Serpent Clan pursed their lips in sadness, they don't have any specialties to trade with them at all.

The Patriarch of the Silver Serpent Clan immediately ran to Xinn and cried. " Main Femeissa! Help us. "

Xinn sitting on top of Snowie arc up his brows in confusion and jumped down. He then walked to the elder and asked. " What is wrong. "

The Silver Patriarch named, Andres, sniffed his nose and complained. " Most of the products in our island such as coconut tree, banana, pineapple and mango were also present in the other Serpent Clans. I don't know which specialty I should exchange with the other clans. "

Xinn pondered and pinched his chin in contemplation. " It doesn't have to be foods though. Service can also be exchange to them. "

Andres looked at his books, the books are all about mining, ores, and forging. That even he couldn't understand.

Xinn stared at Andres' body in confusion. The reason why he handed Andres those books was because he could feel magnetic force from his body.

They are silver serpents, and their scales must be real silver right?

" Andres, have you discovered any ore mine in your island? "

Andres furrowed his brows in confusion. " What ores? "

Xinn summoned several ores from his space which he got from an ore mine that he secretly invaded in his past life.

He showed to Andres several types of rocks and minerals and asked him if he recognized one of those stones.

Andres scanned the stones in Xinn's hands and suddenly noticed several stones familiar to him. When Andres pointed at one ore.

The ore Andres pointed is a rock that has iron in it. Xinn was surprised to learn this. The other ore that Andres pointed on the other hand was a bauxite ore.

Xinn immediately smiled and patted Andres. " Elder, I am sure that your Island will be the most popular island in the whole tribe. "

Andres was confused. " Why? "

Why? Because Iron and Aluminium have many uses!!!

Andres returned to his island with a dumb expression

----

A month later, steel spoons and aluminum cans were exchange with freshwater to the other islands. The Silver Serpent Clan were still learning to make mirrors but it will soon be produced.

Xinn didn't forget to order them to make steel kitchenwares or aluminum kitchenwares.

The group of silver serpent lowered their heads and wiped the sweats on their temple. They are so hardworking that Xinn's originally dark expression finally softened.

" Good job, everyone. "

The row of tired serpents immediately had their eyes brightened.

---

Alonzo on the other hand was busy leading the serpents to build a sewage system and proper disposal system.

Alen on the other hand was tasked to learn weaving and tailoring with his other fellow married females and produced good clothes made of linen.

The other serpent clans were also busy with their own specialty. The Brown Serpent Clan especially was busy crafting stalls in an island near the mainland and even build a bridge from it towards the shore.

The other clan members were in charge of building boats but got failed many times out of being inexperienced. The books in their hands were too complicated that their simple minds couldn't digest all the principles and theories quickly.

During Valentine's Day, everyone had a day break and was told to spend their time with their lovers. Alonzo's family on the other hand stared at a picture frame in silence.

Alonzo proudly said to his triplets and twins. " Look here babies, this is me when I am still not masculine. "

When Xinn asked the whole family to take a picture. The whole clan gathered in the square in confusion. Everyone was wearing red skirts and jackets as the Main Patriarch in the center held all his children with solemn expression.

", Huh? What's going on? "

" I heard that all of us will be taking a picture. "

" What does that even mean. "

" I don't know, Chief Alonzo just said that once Chief's Femeissa says CHEESE, everyone should Smile at the camera. "

" Where is the camera? "

" That small rectangle at front. "

Everyone was busy talking when they suddenly heard the word Cheese. Everyone froze and immediately smiled at front instinctively.

*Click

" Eh? "

" That's it? "

Xinn stared at the clan members in shock.

How can they smile so quickly when they were in the middle of chatting?

Xinn slowly pulled out the picture from the camera and beckoned to them. Everyone immediately gathered behind Xinn and looked at the picture curiously.

And when the blurry mosaic cleared up, everyone immediately gasped in surprise when they saw themselves in the picture.

" P-papa! Why am I in there? "

" Wow! "

" I didn't know I look so fat and ugly! "

" Ah!!! I am at the back, look at the back, that's me hahaha. "

Xinn picked up his marker and wrote on the back of the picture.

--- Second Month, 14 , 1246 --- Emerald Serpent Clan

Xinn didn't know, that this picture will become a National relic in modern era. The modern people will then discover, how ancient primitive people look like in the ancient times.
