Chapter 11: My Female Is Called Qinghuan
"The female suited for me is called Qinghuan. A Yue, there are so many fine males here — choose carefully."
A Yue refused to give up, shaking her head and shouting, "No, I don't believe it! Ying, look at me…"
"I already have Qinghuan. She will be my…"
"Something's wrong, Ying!"
Axi suddenly rushed out, panting heavily. "Qinghuan ran away!"
Hearing this, the tribesmen drew a sharp breath. That weak female actually dared to run — to win Ying's favor was her good fortune.
Hearing that Nan Qinghuan had run away, Ying suddenly threw back his head and roared at the sky. His fury so frightened the tribesmen that none dared speak. Then, there was movement in the Forest, and the Mammoth also came running out from the forest.
Seeing that it was Ying's pet, everyone retreated several steps in fear — Ying had never been this angry before.
Ying made several gestures at the Mammoth. "Go catch her and bring her back."
The Mammoth immediately understood his words, then swung its trunk and ran toward the edge of the forest. Ying slung his bow and arrow on his back, the fury on his face keeping everyone from daring to approach him.
The little thing actually dared to run away? "Dashan, bring the tribesmen and follow me into the dense forest."
"Halt."
Just as Ying was about to take his bow and arrow to catch Nan Qinghuan, an aged voice sounded behind him. A very old wildman stepped out — barefoot on a pair of large feet, yet his eyes were razor-sharp.
Seeing the old wildman, everyone treated him with great reverence.
"Old Clan Leader."
Seeing that it was the Old Clan Leader who had come, Ying quickly stepped forward. "Clan Leader."
"Ying, that female is a foreign outsider. Your mother has already told me — she has strange eyes and cannot stay in the Tribe. It's good that she ran. Otherwise, she would have to be used for a Ritual to the gods."
"That's right, Ying. If she ran, don't chase her. You still have me, A Yue. I'll bear your cubs — let's go back to the Cave and make cubs right now, alright?"
A Yue spoke boldly. Ying shot her a disdainful glare. "Step aside. I have only one female, and her name is Nan Qinghuan."
In the dense jungle, beasts howled and roared. The pale moonlight illuminated the Forest as bright as day.
Even with visibility this high, Nan Qinghuan no longer recognized the way. She only knew she had run for a very, very long time and truly could not run anymore. The flashlight in her hand was also running low on battery. Her instincts told her she needed to find a place to wait for daybreak.
Only when dawn came could she determine the direction and leave this godforsaken place.
Just as she was about to find a place to rest, suddenly, there was movement in the jungle ahead of her.
Her heart leapt to her throat. A chilling red light suddenly emanated from within the jungle.
Strange — what kind of place was that? She didn't dare rush forward, but what if it was a modern infrared beam? In the wild, infrared light could reach very far and provide convenience for people. She hurriedly wanted to go up and see whether there were others of her kind here, but she never expected… "Ah—!"
Suddenly, a enormous Mammoth burst out of the jungle and charged at her. She screamed and turned to flee, only to slam right into a wall of flesh.
"Oof—"
She stopped immediately. What on earth had she run into? She looked up — and it was terrible.
In an instant, the blood in her entire body was screaming, and her legs trembled uncontrollably. "Ying…"
In the darkness, Ying stood before her like a Giant. Then, she was grabbed by the collar and effortlessly lifted up by Ying, as easily as picking up a little chick.
The weightlessness made her struggle nonstop. "Let me go! Let go!"
Ying's eyes carried a fierce, savage light. He was so angry he wanted to bite her to death in one bite. "Where did you think you were running to?"
"I…"
