Chu Nan continued to brag until the sun was about to set, and he felt his belly growling in hunger while his throat was so dry that he was forced to stop his performance.
“Alright, I shall stop here for today. I’ll continue on the topic some other day.” Chu Nan touched his belly and asked, “Is there any food and drink? I’m hungry and thirsty.”
Elder Alfred, who was absorbed in Chu Nan’s speech, hastily passed down orders after hearing his request. “Quickly, prepare the best delicacies and sweetened spring water for our esteemed guest.”
Esteemed guest? When Chu Nan heard that their way of addressing him had changed, he smiled and said, “Elder, I’m not accustomed to living in a tree. Could you…?”
At that moment, Elder Alfred had already been led around by the nose, and he treated Chu Nan as his idol. He quickly selected a few druids and passed down the order. “Go and construct a house for our esteemed guest.”
Chu Nan smiled in satisfaction. Even though a hastily built house was lacking in comparison to the houses back on Earth, it would be much better than the past few days where he was forced to hide in the forest.
Seeing Aleta standing by his side, Chu Nan pretended to be dissatisfied and said, “Why aren’t you practicing ? The barbarians will return in three days.”
Aleta was slightly stunned, and his expression revealed traces of unwillingness before he walked away and found a quiet place as he started to train according to Chu Nan’s teachings.
Elder Alfred hesitated for a moment and followed suit. His inability to progress further beyond his current level for numerous years had always bothered him.
With the departure of the most knowledgeable person and the number one expert of the village, Chu Nan started to brag even more recklessly.
Hundreds of druids gathered around the campfire and listened to Chu Nan until the middle of the night—when he said he was tired—before they reluctantly left.
When he returned to the hastily built wooden house the druids had constructed for him, Chu Nan surveyed his surroundings. The interior of the house was rather simple. With the exception of a wooden bed and a piece of soft bear skin, there was nothing else in the room.
Chu Nan massaged his sore jaw; it seemed like bragging was not a simple and easy thing to do. Excessive bragging would also result in exhaustion.
As he sat on the bed, Chu Nan opened the spatial bracelet he relied on the most in this world.
For the past few days, he had been living in danger in the Heaven Forest. Even though he had previously checked the items inside the spatial bracelet, he had never carefully looked over all of them.
Now that there were hundreds of druids around him, he finally relaxed and started to check the items inside the spatial bracelet.
