However, his facial features were notably more refined compared to the others. His eyes were strikingly large, and he had an angular chin.
He donned a skirt crafted from animal skin, covering his lower body. Additionally, he wore a simple garment made of animal skin draped over his body. This was a privilege exclusive to the Tribe Chief of the Thunder Fire Clan, something ordinary clansmen did not possess. His physique left no room for concealment, characterized by well-defined muscles and long, graceful legs.
With a bit of grooming, he could undoubtedly be considered attractive. It was no wonder the previous Tribe Chief of the Five Elements Clan had been drawn to the Tribe Chief of the Thunder Fire Clan. His appearance was undeniably appealing. This Tribe Chief was evidently more advanced in his aesthetics compared to the others in this world. While most still focused solely on survival, the previous body owner had valued his physical appearance.
Gu Chaoyan found herself at a loss for words, wrestling with her thoughts.
It became increasingly apparent that the Tribe Chief of the Thunder Fire Clan had come to leverage her role as the Tribe Chief of the Five Elements Clan.
Gu Chaoyan had nearly pieced together the situation.
As for Adams, upon entering, he noticed the female Tribe Chief of the Five Elements Clan scrutinizing him. He couldn’t help but wonder why.
Xuelai had always shown a deep infatuation with him. Her fixation was not on the Thunder Fire Clan as a whole but rather on him.
In Adams’ view, something was seriously amiss with her reasoning. A small, nomadic clan like theirs was at risk of extinction, and yet, she seemed oblivious to this fact.
Well, perhaps her peculiar mindset could lead to a better future for the Thunder Fire Clan.
Adams paid little heed to her scrutinizing gaze.
Spotting an available seat, he sat down with an air of authority and motioned for his clansmen to bring forward the items. “With winter approaching, I reckon your clan could use this dried meat,” he stated as though bestowing charity.
In his view, the Five Elements Clan should be grateful for receiving such a precious resource as dried meat.
Gu Chaoyan regarded the dried meat intently, her expression serious. The Thunder Fire Clan members, however, were not particularly generous, having brought only two pieces of jerky, which amounted to a modest portion compared to the prey the Five Elements Clan had acquired that day.
Their offer seemed somewhat insincere when contrasted with the gift of dried meat.
Gu Chaoyan refrained from commenting, and no one from the Five Elements Clan stepped forward to accept the offering.
Gradually, the smiles on the faces of the Thunder Fire Clan members faded. At Adams’ signal, they reluctantly placed the dried meat on the table.
No one from the Five Elements Clan appeared to be concerned about the meat, surprising Adams and the Thunder Fire Clan members. This was precious meat, something they rarely had access to. Unbeknownst to them, the Five Elements Clan still had a surplus of prey to handle, rendering this small quant.i.ty of meat insignificant in their eyes.
Gu Chaoyan finally broke the silence, saying, “Don’t mention the meat. We don’t require it at the moment. As winter approaches, the Thunder Fire Clan must stockpile provisions. Take it back to your clan. You mentioned having something to discuss; what is it?”
Adams felt a twinge of annoyance but decided against arguing about two pieces of meat, deeming it unimportant. “Indeed, there are matters we should discuss.”
“I think the bamboo house you built is not bad, and your clansmen’s weapons are also not bad.”
