Chapter 200: Biting Her Little Ear

Youchao Ji ate a sweet corn cake, and when she heard her words she was a little embarrassed, "Heaven's Daughter, Youchao Xuan won't let me speak; I don't dare to say it. Don't ask, if I say it he'll hate me for a lifetime."

"Hate you for a lifetime?"

Nan Qinghuan inhaled a cold breath, "Did something happen to the tribe?"

Early the next morning, the Ying Tribe sang and danced to joyfully send off Youchao Xuan and his people. The Youchao Xuan Clan had helped them rebuild houses this time, a great aid. As the Tribe Leader, Ying had people prepare many precious beast skins, cured meat, sweet potatoes, and even pure fragrant fruit wine.

He prepared good baskets for them to take back and enjoy.

These items were the Ying Tribe's best gratitude toward them. Youchao Xuan felt embarrassed, "Ying, Goddess, it's awkward for us to take so many things."

Ying, however, gave a bright laugh; today he wore a hemp robe and looked very spirited, "What's there to be embarrassed about, Youchao Xuan? You've been in the tribe so long and have helped me and Qinghuan a lot; these things are deserved."

Since Nan Qinghuan arrived, the Ying Tribe has become increasingly prosperous, and the food is more abundant than before, so giving some to Youchao Xuan and his people is only natural.

The tribe folk think simply; the first thing they can think of is giving food, and giving food is the most sincere.

Seeing these items, Youchao Xuan could no longer refuse, "Then thank you, Ying, Goddess, we'll be leaving now."

"Youchao Xuan"

Watching them walk farther away, Nan Qinghuan let out a loud sigh, still reluctant. She gazed at him deeply; the young man had followed her for so long, and now he was finally leaving.

"The Ying Tribe has always been your home; we'll wait for you to return."

Hearing that, Youchao Xuan's eyes grew a bit moist; he clenched his teeth, nodded, "I will, I'll come back."

Goddess, if I don't die, I'll definitely come back to find you.

These were Youchao Xuan's thoughts; as long as he doesn't die on this return, he will definitely come back to her.

"Whimper…"

Suddenly, Jingang chased after Youchao Xuan, ran to his side and blocked him, as if refusing to let him go.

Man and beast looked very moving.

Youchao Xuan and Jingang were close; usually Youchao Xuan fed Jingang, and although Nan Qinghuan was the owner, Jingang also regarded Youchao Xuan as his owner.

Seeing Jingang reluctant to let him go, Youchao Xuan patted Jingang's paw, "Jingang, go back, protect the Goddess."

"Whimper…"

Jingang, unwilling to let him leave, stretched a paw to block their path. Youchao Ji, a bit angry, said, "You beast, why are you delaying us? If you don't go now I'll hit you."

"Shut up"

It must be said that Youchao Ji is very afraid of Youchao Xuan; when he shouts "shut up," she dares not say anything.

"Whimper…"

Youchao Xuan embraced Jingang; man and beast were reluctant to part, the farewell painful, tears streaming. He took a deep breath, patted Jingang's head, "Go back, protect the Goddess."

"Whimper…"

Jingang still felt reluctant.

Nan Qinghuan, seeing this, understood; Jingang and Youchao Xuan had spent the longest time together, forging a deep bond.

Such a bond cannot be broken by anyone.

She suddenly stepped forward, laughing brightly, "Jingang, go with him, protect them well, I'll wait for you to return."

"Goddess, you…"

"Having Jingang follow you puts me at ease; go back, the Heavenly God will bless you."

"Heavenly God?"

Nan Qinghuan let go, letting Jingang and Youchao Xuan depart. When Jingang left, his mate naturally followed. The two Da Xingsheng and a dozen tribe members walked farther into the sunrise.

The wind blew, and many dandelion seeds fluttered across the sky.

In that instant, she finally felt the sorrow of parting.

Her nose tingled sourly.

"Qinghuan…"

Ying stood behind her, gently embraced her waist, bowed his head slightly toward her, "Qinghuan, don't look, he's gone."

In truth, Ying was still very jealous; Qinghuan had been so kind to Youchao Xuan, even making clothes for him, which made Ying envious, but he restrained himself.

Because as long as she's by his side, everything can be forgiven.

Nan Qinghuan took several deep breaths, gently lifted her gaze to the man leaning beside her, seeing him calmly resting on her shoulder; although their heights were mismatched, when he bent over he was almost her height.

She couldn't help teasing him, "Ying, why aren't you being jealous today?"

Ying chuckled lowly, opened his mouth and nibbled her little ear, "As long as Qinghuan has only me as a man, I won't get angry."

Nan Qinghuan's mood brightened, "Only you are clever?"

She reached out and pinched his upright nose; without a beard his face looked much better, like a rugged mountain man.

The couple's affectionate display made the nearby tribe members enviously jealous.

"Look, Ying is so gentle; if my male were this gentle to me, how wonderful would that be?"

"Your Dazhuang, forget it; the fact he doesn't beat you is already good enough."

"Hmph, I'll change my male."

"Someone like you, who would want you? You're not as good looking as Oumu."

"You all…"

The women here envied their love, but they also recalled how they once quarreled, threatening death and life.

It must be said, Nan Qinghuan and Ying being together truly isn't easy.

After a while, the two brushed off, and Nan Qinghuan softly said, "Ying, I have something I'm not sure whether to tell."

Ying was in a good mood; he now remembered not to get angry randomly, and Qinghuan would like him more and no one could take her away.

"Qinghuan, you speak."

She paused, looked toward the departing backs of Youchao Xuan and his group, then murmured, "Youchao Ji told me that a rebellion broke out in Youchao Xuan's clan; as the heir, Youchao Xuan must return to suppress it."

"Rebellion?"

Ying seemed to understand something, narrowing his eyes slightly as he gazed into hers. "Did Youchao Xuan say anything to you?"

Sure enough, Ying was wary, because since a rebellion had broken out among Youchao Xuan's people, he would surely have said something to Qinghuan, or perhaps wanted her to go help him.

Last time, Qinghuan's skill in repelling the Rongdi had been witnessed by all the tribesmen, and Youchao Xuan had seen it too. So had he asked Qinghuan to go to his tribe? Nan Qinghuan knew what he was thinking and shook her head. "He didn't say anything. He also knew you wouldn't agree to let me go to his tribe, so..."

"Since that's the case, don't think about it anymore, Qinghuan. The Heavenly God will bless them."

Ying was very satisfied that Youchao Xuan hadn't tried any crooked schemes to take Qinghuan away. Even if he had helped them, he would never agree to let him take Qinghuan.

Nan Qinghuan knew he would say that. She had expected it, but... she wasn't an ungrateful person. Just because Youchao Xuan hadn't said anything didn't mean she wouldn't help.

"The Heavenly God will bless them. After hearing about what happened in the tribe, I prepared a method to repel the enemy for them, but..."

"You prepared a method to repel the enemy?"

Ying was very surprised. When had she prepared it? Nan Qinghuan frowned. "I've already told ChaoJi. She'll have Youchao Xuan carry it out. But I still want you to send a few tribesmen to go and check on them. I'm very worried about their safety. Those tribesmen are our benefactors; we should give them a hand. What do you think, Ying?"
