My Journey As The Fox Head Clan - Chapter 39
“Hello Doctor, have you been receiving gifts that Little Crow brings?”
“Oh yes, oh yes!” The goat doctor nodded his head and patted Viosus’s back excitedly “You people are too generous, I still have some food laying around the house.”
Soon the goat doctor changed his subject to Yilas, he immediately grabbed her face to check on her wound which made Sabal swiftly switched to protective mode. If it wasn’t for Vio holding him down, he would have attacked the doctor.
“Ahhh… It’s almost completely healed, what good strength the youth have, how good!” The goat doctor squinted his eyes and checked the scar marks thoroughly, only then he was willing to let the awkwardly smiling Yilas’s face go.
“It’s all thanks to your medicine doc, if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t be able to see right now.” Yilas laughed, the doctor proudly put his hand on his hips and burst out laughing.
“No biggie, no biggie.” He continued laughing “But now you’re recovered, I can see you’re much more of a beauty than I thought if I were 20 years younger I would have fallen for you at first sight, yes, yes!”
“Master!”
“Doctor!”
Both the squirrel boy and Viosus simultaneously yelled at the goat doctor immediately, especially the boy shaken his head back and forth, ashamed of his master behavior.
“I got it, I got it! Besides I already have a spouse, don’t worry, don’t worry!” The goat doctor laughed and waved his hands surrendering.
Even though the doctor was just joking, Sabal on the side had become agitated, he didn’t bring his female here to be teased by another male.
“But I must say you looked very much like your mother, nothing like that hideous of a beast-like your father, luckily, luckily…”
Yilas mother’s appearance was something that had long faded away from Viosus’s mind, he couldn’t remember what she looked like even if he tried his best. And since Yilas’s body was completely taken over this original host, she wouldn’t know either.
Yilas swiftly changed the topic before the goat doctor said anything more to upset Sabal.
“Doc, besides coming to thank you for treating my wound, we are here to ask you a favor.”
What Yilas said pipped the doctor’s interest, he sat down on the hay and waved at Yilas to let her sat down next to him.
“What is it, child?”
“We have a few products that could help you with the farming” Yilas signaled Viosus and Sabal to bring out the stuff that they brought, laying it all on the ground. “Maybe if you like them, you can help us sell them in town.”
As soon as they brought out the tools, the goat doctor couldn’t keep his curiosity to himself anymore, he examined every single one meticulously.
“What is this? And this? Looked interesting.”
“Can you help to demonstrate, Sabal?” Yilas softly smiled and suggest Sabal for the performance. While building the shed, she had observed him working every day, and Yilas must admit the sight was quite pleasurable.
Sabal grabbed an ax and raised it over his head with both hands before powerfully swinging it down, cutting on the air in his way. The way his giant arm muscles worked the ax was mesmerizing, it looked as if his body was made out of bronze, working the tool like a tireless machine. No wonder people said men were most attractive went they were focused on their work.
The goat doctor and the squirrel boy dropped their jaws on the floor, their eyes opened wider than the letter O, with such power executed, the tools appeared to be very impressive in his hand. The centaurs who were resting in the barn now had their heads peeping through the door, trying to catch a glimpse of the snake man with an interesting tool.
Yilas quickly explained every single tool’s purposes, the way she explained plus the demonstration from Vio and Sabal had made everybody invested, from the look in their eyes Yilas could already guess that it was a success.
“Why don’t you bring it out to your field and tested it out?” Yilas asked. Once they saw what the tools could achieve, they will be hooked.
“Right! Right!” The goat doctor quickly called over the centaurs, he climbed up one of them and told the rest to carry the tool.
The bunch went to the paddle field right next to the house. Goat doctor gave some buckets and bowls to his people and they started to collect things to put in it. He gave another centaur who was more familiar with farming work and tell him to use it as he pleases.
The centaurs started cutting down some grass with it, and then dig into the dirt with it and then he moved onto chopping down bigger trees. After a while, he came back and return the ax to his master.
“It has magic in it, Master, I didn’t have to put any strength into doing work, it was much faster cutting and chopping than plugging with my hands!”
Goat doctor nodded in agreement, by watching him work, he could tell he didn’t become exhausted as quickly. The other ones also came back with a bucket full of wheat and vegetables, they were crackling and chatting along the way, seemed like they were also having fun with their new tools.
A smile formed on Yilas’s face, seeing them enjoying themselves made her feel like she had done the right, helpful thing.
“That’s good, that’s good” Goat doctor was finishing up discussing with his centaurs before turning to Yilas and asked. “It seemed that they enjoyed it very much, yes, yes! A lot of beasts will want this if I bring them to town. But is it all the tools you have?”
“Yes, for now, that’s all we have got but we can make a lot more in a short period of time.” Yilas nodded, she wasn’t taking any risk so she didn’t have her clan members made too much for this test drive.
“How much do you want for them? I will help you trade them and give you the profits just let me know what price.”
“How much would you buy these for?” YIlas walked over and turned to a half-horse half-human beast next to her, his face quickly turned bright red and he couldn’t even look at YIlas and talked, he couldn’t believe this beautiful, fairy-like female was talking directly to him, asking for his opinion.
“M-M-M- mmeee-me? I-I Do-Don’t Kn- Know…” His head was starting to get dizzy from the heat suddenly move to his head when Yils turned to ask the other centaurs they acted the same until one finally spoke decently.
“I- I don’t mind paying 2 weeks worth of rice for it!” After saying it loudly, he shyly ducked his face, he had the ax in his hand and he was the one using for the field earlier.
“Really? That’s amazing price, thank you!” Yilas patted his tell shoulder, smiling prettily.
The centaurs blushed even redder, it was the first time he ever had a compliment from a female, let alone a stunning female like this. Even when standing aside, Yilas could feel the heat fuming from his head.
Sabal wasn’t too fond of their reaction, he glared and projected murderous intent toward them, scarring them one by one. He thought Yilas was too much of an irresistible female that every beast she came across would fall for her looks, he must hide her even more carefully from now on.
Ignoring Sabal, Yilas continued to discuss with the Goat doctor. In the end, he agreed to sell these products for her in exchange for a supply for them, when all of the products were sold, he would come to their house for the payment. Yilas happily agreed and thanked him for the goodwill, after that the three didn’t stay any longer, they decided to head back.
As to farewell the three, all of the goat doctor’s present members went to send them away at the door. When they were already long gone, the centaurs started to talk non-stop about the little pretty female, they bombarded the goat’s doctor with questions about her.
“Yes, yes, she is indeed the head of that clan.” The goat doctor nodded like a woodpecker.
“The head?” “She’s a master!” “But she is so young…” The bunch discussed lively, they couldn’t believe what their master was saying. The active debates went on for the rest of the night between them.
