Chapter 125: She Also Has Ambition

Ying squinted slightly, glared at Rongdi, then reached out to block Nan Qinghuan's waist and domineeringly declared his sovereignty, "I didn't intend to join your fight, but if you attack Qinghuan I must step in to teach you a lesson."

Ying's recent punches were ruthless; he wants to avenge Rongdi for abducting Ayǔ and the others, and so far he still doesn't know whether Ayǔ and the others are dead or alive.

Rongdi clenched his teeth; he was restrained by his tribe and couldn't move. He hadn't expected to underestimate Nan Qinghuan's importance to Ying, and he actually acted for her.

"Ying, you treat Nan Qinghuan well enough, but she just used you, treating you like a fool."

The words sounded like sowing discord; Nan Qinghuan hurriedly scolded, "Rongdi, stop talking nonsense, I didn't."

Ying's gaze stared blankly at Nan Qinghuan; after a long moment he forced out a faint smile. In truth he also didn't want to watch Yao be killed by Rongdi, "Qinghuan is right, Rongdi you won't get away today."

"Rongdi, I will kill you to avenge my A Mu."

Yao's eyes were full of hatred; although he was shirtless and blood still ran over his body, he intended to use this chance to kill Rongdi. Suddenly, before his Spear could pierce Rongdi's abdomen, Rongdi let out a low laugh.

That laugh was somewhat chilling.

"Hahaha"

Nan Qinghuan, seeing his mocking laugh, was a bit worried, "What are you laughing at?"

Rongdi coldly glanced at her, a flash of disappointment crossing his eyes. Yes, this female truly has no conscience; when he learned she was in the Cave, he would have risked everything to rescue her, but now she wants to help these people against him.

He felt his heart being trampled mercilessly, the pain making him want to kill.

"If you kill me, you all won't get away; this place is already surrounded by my people."

"Rongdi, you think that just because of this I won't kill you?"

Yao couldn't worry about that much; just as he was about to act, suddenly, from not far away, the panicked voices of his tribe members came.

"Yao, it's bad; we are surrounded."

Sure enough, Rongdi's people fell.

A number of people came up the hillside; under the firelight, their faces were snarling.

"Leader"

Ji Nü and Ana hurriedly arrived with the Rongdi Tribe's people; when they saw their leader kneeling there, beaten, Ji Nü felt her heart rise to her throat.

The leader was ambushed? "Ying, Yao, release the leader, or I will kill all your tribe members."

After speaking, Ji Nü suddenly seized A Lei of the Wolf Tribe, pinning his neck; Ji Nü smiled smugly, "Release the leader, or I will kill her."

"A Lei"

A Qi, seeing A Lei captured, was terrified and kept pleading to Yao, "Yao, save A Lei!"

Nan Qinghuan, seeing this situation, also understood why Rongdi was laughing; he indeed had reason to laugh.

She gently pushed Ying's hand aside, rose onto her tiptoes and whispered in his ear. Hearing her words, Ying frowned, somewhat reluctant to agree, but Nan Qinghuan gave him a reassuring smile. Thinking of her words, Ying decided to trust her and let her try.

After gaining Ying's trust, Nan Qinghuan finally approached Rongdi, slightly bowed and whispered in his ear, "If your people release A Lei, I will persuade their brothers to release you, okay?"

Rongdi's nostrils caught a fragrance emanating from her; he greedily inhaled a breath, then gave a cold smile, "Too late, tonight I'm in a bad mood; I will bloodwash the Wolf Tribe."

"Bloodwash?"

Nan Qinghuan inhaled a cold breath; the man was indeed brutal.

"Is that so?"

She inhaled another cold breath, drew a sharp Fruit Knife from beside her, and pressed it against Rongdi's neck. Rongdi only felt a cold object pierce his bone marrow; he recognized it as the weapon Nan Qinghuan always carries.

"This female wants to kill me? 'Do you want to kill me?'"

His words were calm, not fearing death at all; even if he were to die, he would take her with him tonight.

Nan Qinghuan ignored him, then lifted her gaze toward the angry Yao, "Yao, you want the tribe to be fine, just listen to me."

"Listen to you? What do you want?"

Yao now felt gratitude toward Nan Qinghuan; from initial distrust he now somewhat believed her. She not only healed them but also got Ying to help them, which gradually lessened his blame toward Ying.

As long as the tribe can be saved, he is willing to do anything.

Nan Qinghuan nodded, "I have a way to make them withdraw their troops."

"Qinghuan, what are you doing? Let me do it."

"Ying, no need, I know better than you where his weak point is. I know you'll say I'm meddling, but I understand better than anyone that if the lips are gone, the teeth feel cold; the Wolf Tribe will be destroyed, and next the Rongdi will have to deal with our tribe."

His words made Ying's expression complicated; she said Rongdi's next move would be to deal with them? How could she know? Rongdi, upon hearing Nan Qinghuan's words, suddenly lifted his gaze at her, not caring that she had his neck pinned; a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes. That Nan Qinghuan could guess what he intended? Seeing Ying silent, Nan Qinghuan continued, "Rongdi, I'm not threatening you; I'm only advising you. Even if you capture the tribe now, it won't be much use. The people here eat snakes, insects, rats, and ants; your tribe's people aren't used to that. Even if you occupy this place, your people will still have to bring food from the tribe, and few of your clan would want to live here."

She was speaking the truth; she wanted to tell Rongdi that even if he seized the tribe, it would be of little use. The Rongdi Tribe is far from here, and this place is a desert with few other animals; Rongdi's people have no meat to eat, and they wouldn't be willing to stay here.

These words made Rongdi's face darken, but he didn't want to give up, "Once I take it, I will naturally have other uses. Nan Qinghuan, you are clever, but cleverness can't save them. Ji Nü, set fire for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Nü was reluctant; how could she set fire? "Leader, Nan Qinghuan, you release the leader."

"Ji Nü, listen. If you want your leader to stay unharmed, withdraw your people; otherwise, I'll use this small knife to slice your leader's flesh piece by piece, understood?"

"Nan Qinghuan, you dare?"

Ana rushed forward intending to rescue Rongdi, but Nan Qinghuan's knife actually cut through the flesh on Rongdi's neck.

In an instant, bright red blood spurted out.

Ana had never seen such a formidable weapon; with a light touch, the leader's neck bled.

"Ji Nü, what do we do?"

"Leader"

Rongdi felt a burning pain in his neck; he looked down and saw blood flowing, while Nan Qinghuan showed no intention of letting him go.

"You want to kill me?"

Nan Qinghuan didn't like his gaze at her, overly affectionate; but she knew it was all false, unable to conceal his ambition.

"Don't look at me like that; you should know I keep my word. If you don't want to die, retreat for me."

She applied slight pressure with her hand; being a doctor, she naturally knew that cutting his blood vessel further would truly kill him. Does Rongdi not fear death? The two remained deadlocked, the atmosphere tense.

Only Ying remained relaxed; he wished Nan Qinghuan would press harder, to kill Rongdi as easily as slaying a Sanmu Python!

"Rongdi, today I've secured the Wolf Tribe's people; even if everyone here dies, I will still protect every inch of land. Do you still want to fight me for it?"

Her hand pressed a little harder, and the blood spurted more.

The restrained leader made Ji Nü's heart burn with anxiety; she feared Nan Qinghuan would truly kill Rongdi, and suddenly she shouted at Nan Qinghuan, "Nan Qinghuan, don't move him, I'll retreat, I'm withdrawing."

With Rongdi as a trump card in Nan Qinghuan's hand, Ji Nü, still unwilling, had to pull the person back, but Rongdi suddenly understood, because he saw the ambition in Nan Qinghuan's eyes.

He then realized, so she wanted this territory? "Haha."

He suddenly saw the solution, his gaze odd as he looked at Nan Qinghuan, "Put down the weapon, I withdraw."
