Chapter 101: The Wildman's Husband's Secret

When that was said, Ying strode out of the Cave, Youchao Xuan saw him and quickly bowed slightly, "Goddess, I have no other business, I'll go back first."

She quickly nodded, "Take good care of Jingang."

"Don't worry."

After Youchao Xuan left, Ying's sharp gaze turned to her; he could never have imagined Nan Qinghuan would come out at midnight to see Youchao Xuan, what were they talking about? "It's so late, what is he doing here?"

Nan Qinghuan lifted her eyes to meet his; she saw Ying's eyes bearing a beast's light, glowing even in the night. She was startled and a bit worried, "Ying…"

"Come back with me."

Without a word, he grabbed her hand and pulled her toward the Cave; Nan Qinghuan was displeased and didn't want to go with him, "Let go of me, let go."

She was a bit annoyed by his sudden madness; clearly he was hiding a secret from her, yet he was the one who got angry.

Who would have thought her struggle provoked Ying; thinking she didn't want to be with him, he suddenly bowed and embraced her, then strode toward the Cave.

"Let go of me, let go."

Nan Qinghuan kept struggling, but her strength was so weak it was merely a tickle for Ying; Ying furrowed his brow and lightly patted her butt, "Don't mess around."

"Your leg is bleeding, let me down quickly."

Ying, ignoring his own bleeding leg, placed Nan Qinghuan onto the Stone Bed and allowed himself to take her.

"It hurts…"

Although he set her down gently, the Stone Bed was so hard that she felt very uncomfortable.

"This bed is too hard, there's no way to sleep."

She missed the soft beds of modern times, missed that luxurious life, and looking at the present, her grievance and resentment instantly rose to the surface.

Ying was startled, seeing her complain about the hard bed; he suddenly pressed down upon her, breathing rapidly, his eyes blood‑red as he glared, "Do you regret staying behind?"

After the couple went inside, the wild wolf Mos returned to guard outside the Cave; the sounds inside shifted from angry shouts to a woman's low sobbing, and soon quieted.

The wind rustled, brushing the leaves with a swish; in the night, a woman stood there coldly watching the scene inside the Cave, clenching her fists, her eyes full of jealousy, yet she was about to turn and leave.

"The Wolf Girl actually humbles herself here to do those vile tasks, and even obeys Nan Qinghuan's commands—are you truly content with that?"

The remark made Acai instantly wary, "Who, who is speaking here?"

"It's me."

An aged voice sounded; in the darkness Acai actually saw… a ragged‑clothed female; she had never seen this female before, "Who are you?"

"Heh, I am Shiva, the one who governs the females' misfortune here; you are the Wolf Girl, right?"

Acai gave the old woman a strange look, glancing at her, "Do you have business with me?"

Shiva sized Acai up, "So you are indeed the Wolf Girl, far smarter and calmer than that fool A Yue; what brings you to the Tribe?"

Acai didn't want to talk much, just said softly, "I have nowhere else to go; Ying and his people took me in. If nothing else, I'll leave now; I have work tomorrow."

"Stop, don't think I don't know what you intend to do by coming to Ying Tribe, Wolf Girl; I can help you get Ying."

When that was said, Acai immediately halted, turned her head and gave Shiva a glance, "What did you say?"

Shiva slowly approached her, gazing at her leisurely; her eyes were as sharp and merciless as a night hawk, still bearing a grudge against Nan Qinghuan for meddling with those females.

This time, we must find a way without her.

"Don't think I don't know why you came to the Tribe, Wolf Girl; the male you covet will surely be yours. Your saliva is already on Ying's body; you won't give him up, am I right?"

Acai was surprised to hear that, Shiva actually knew their customs? "How do you know?"

"I am Shiva, of course I know."

"Shiva? I heard from Axi that you no longer hold any weight in the tribe's hearts; what can you offer me?"

She has many ways to obtain Ying.

"Of course there are ways; since that female likes to meddle, there's an opportunity here—do you want to seize it?"

Hearing that, Acai clearly showed interest, she clenched her fist, "What opportunity?"

A golden ray streaked across the sky.

When Nan Qinghuan woke again, no one was beside her; the Bonfire inside the Cave had burned out, and the candle had melted into a lump.

The wild wolf Mos still guarded the entrance; she tried to sit up for a drink of water, but any movement sent a stabbing pain through her.

"Damn man!"

Last night Ying tormented her for a long time; fortunately that man still had some humanity. After she cried and begged for mercy, he let her go, but she tried to ask who had hurt him, and the man simply wouldn't say.

This only fueled her curiosity; she was determined to uncover his secret.

"Qinghuan, Qinghuan, are you awake?"

From outside came Axi calling her; Axi had put on a new Hemp Robe and hemp skirt, looking no longer like a wild person but rather an unkempt little girl.

"I'm awake, why is it so noisy outside?"

She noticed the outside was noisy; could someone be arguing? Having been in this Tribe for so long, she hadn't heard any tribe members argue; everyone seemed content with Ying's rule.

Axi, seeing she still didn't know, said, "I guess you haven't heard—today, our Tribe's Azi is getting married."

"Married?"

She hadn't expected ancient wild people to talk about marriage, instantly intrigued, "How do you marry here?"

"We just dance and eat meat, then Azi's brother takes her back to the Cave to sleep; that counts as marriage."

"What, Azi's brother… takes her back to sleep?"

She was a bit confused, "Azi and her brother get married, of course her brother takes her back to sleep, Qinghuan, what's wrong with you?"

"What, siblings marrying?"

She almost leapt up, "No, incest is forbidden, Axi, we must stop this wedding."

"Stop? Qinghuan, you're crazy—this is Ying's decree, cannot be changed; the wedding is tonight, don't cause trouble; it's a great joy for our tribe, must not be disrupted."

Nan Qinghuan wanted to say more, but she also knew this was probably the wild people's custom; no wonder she saw some tribe members disabled and some fools, because they all practice incest.

Thus it's no wonder they produce fools.

"Qinghuan, get up quickly and wash your face; Ying will be back soon. He isn't hunting today, he'll accompany you. Today everyone is not working, preparing for the wedding. Qinghuan, the new clothes you gave us, everyone likes them very much, thank you."

Axi really likes this new hemp cloth garment; it's much cooler than Beast Skin. I have to say, Qinghuan truly has brought the tribe a lot of happiness.

Nan Qinghuan felt a bit helpless; the little girl was delighted just to wear a coarse Hemp Robe. "Silly girl, later we will have even better clothes to choose from—silk, brocade, satin—later you can pick as you wish."

"Silk? Qinghuan, what is silk?"
