Chapter 637 Just say I forced you
Marcela's face immediately turned green.
Xu Ning clearly felt a sudden jolt in the arm of Tadella in his hand.
“Honorable Lord of the Spirit Town, this…this is against the tribe’s rules…”
Xu Ning laughed heartily, "Elder Ma, you must be joking. I remember when I first stayed here overnight, even Chief Babel was very willing to entertain me. You say it's against the tribe's rules?"
Why don't you mention that Babel came out of your tent looking like he'd seen a ghost?
Before dawn, the entire tribe already knew about your peculiar hobby. Now you're telling me you want Tadra? What can you do with her?
Marcela's face shifted between light and shadow several times before she finally forced a smile, as if she had made up her mind.
"Since the esteemed master of the town wishes for Tadra to serve her, it is her honor."
Marcela chuckled, mimicking Xu Ning's response, "However, tomorrow is her coming-of-age ceremony, and I hope the town's spirit master can help witness her growth. Please don't overexert yourself tonight."
After saying that, Marcela coldly instructed Tadella, "Since you are going to serve the esteemed Lord of the Town, you must know etiquette and treat the Lord of the Town as you would treat me, and do your best."
Tadella's face paled slightly, and after a long while, she nodded and replied, "I understand."
Xu Ning watched as Marcela's face returned to its normal, obsequious state, and all he wanted to do was smash the guy's head to pieces, but now was not the time.
Just how rotten was this Tanit tribe?
Xu Ning turned and walked towards his tent, with Tadra following closely behind, and entered the tent with him.
Xu Ning entered the tent and casually sat down at the small table.
At this moment, Tadella, who was standing at the entrance of the tent, seemed to have become a soulless puppet. After Xu Ning sat down, she naturally walked to Xu Ning's side and knelt down.
Xu Ning was startled by Tadra's action. "Tadra, why are you bowing so deeply? What are you trying to do?"
Tadella crawled forward expressionlessly, pressing down on Xu Ning's legs, and her face, which exuded a faint scent of spices, moved closer to Xu Ning.
"Falcon Tadera, obey your master's orders."
Xu Ning's breathing quickened, then anger surged again, and he rebuked, "Who is your master? Remember this, no one can be anyone's master, not even your father..."
Tadella shook her head and said, "Father is my master. Father wants me to obey your orders, so you are my master."
Xu Ning said angrily, "You... won't listen to me, huh? Fine, let's play it another way."
"I'm your master now, aren't I?"
"Yes."
"You will do whatever I ask you to do?"
Tadella's face paled even more, but she still nodded and said, "Yes!"
Xu Ning gradually got into the zone, "Just for tonight, or forever?"
Tadella hesitated for a moment.
"Your father didn't mention a time limit, did he?"
"Yes."
Xu Ning laughed, "That's good. I want you to remember this: from tonight onwards, no one has the right to make you kneel down or bow your head before them. No one can force you to do anything you don't want to do. If anyone insists on doing so, you can twist their head off. Oh, and remember to apologize, just say that I forced you to do it!"
After speaking, Xu Ning waited for Tadra's response.
Tadella remained silent for a long time before finally nodding heavily and uttering a soft "Mmm".
"Good that you agreed, hehe. Get off me and sit down."
Having broken free from the "pressure" of Tadella's body, Xu Ning secretly wiped the sweat from his brow while drinking before speaking.
"Elder Ma said tomorrow is your coming-of-age ceremony, and even asked me to witness it. What does that mean?"
Tadella sat cross-legged at the table, respectfully accepting the cup that Xu Ning pushed towards her. After thanking him, she explained, "This is a unique coming-of-age ceremony for falcons in our tribe. Only after completing the ceremony can one become a true falcon and receive hunting missions."
Xu Ning, in his own understanding, thought that this was probably what it meant to be tested for the "Falcon" certificate.
"What needs to be done to complete this task? And how can I witness its completion?"
Tadella must have received instructions on this matter long ago. "My assessment is to hunt red eagles, poisonous scorpions, and flying snakes alone without anyone's help, obtain the relevant parts, and return to the tribal camp alive to complete the task."
"Completed it alone? So what I mean by witnessing is just watching you do all of this to make sure you didn't break any rules, right?"
Tadella nodded again.
"Hey, I don't care if your coming-of-age ceremony is against the rules or not. In my opinion, no matter what you do, protecting yourself is the most important thing. Tomorrow I'll be by your side, so you don't need to think about anything, just go ahead and hunt."
The next morning, as soon as Xu Ning came out of his tent, he saw that old rascal Marcela standing outside his tent.
"Hey, you haven't been eavesdropping since last night, have you? Are you afraid I'll do something to Tadella?"
Marcela smiled wryly, "I'm old, and my old injuries can't withstand the cold night air. How could I do such a thing? Besides, it's an honor for the little falcon to be favored by the esteemed master of the town..."
Marcela was flattering Xu Ning when she suddenly saw Tadella walk out of the tent behind Xu Ning, and her expression immediately changed.
"You're ready for your coming-of-age ceremony, aren't you? Now it's time to set off. Remember, complete the task independently, and don't be a burden to our Town Spirit Master."
Tadella responded softly, then slung the hunting bow Xu Ning had given her the day before over her shoulder and headed out of the camp towards the sunrise.
Xu Ning followed closely behind her, pondering how to find a pretext to kill this disgusting old man.
"We've spotted the Red Vulture. We'll probably need to speed things up now."
Tadella, who was crouching down in front and investigating something, suddenly turned around and said.
"Oh, so fast? How did you figure that out? Uh... this is..."
Xu Ning curiously leaned closer and saw Tadella kneading a clump of poop that seemed to be covered in sand.
When Tadella heard Xu Ning's question, she assumed that the town's spirit master was very interested in this, so she carefully broke it open and placed it in front of Xu Ning for him to observe.
"The red vulture's droppings still contain some undigested weasel fur... and it hasn't even completely lost its moisture, which means it just passed through here not long ago. If we move quickly, we should be able to catch up with it and find its nest."
