Chapter 255: I Only Want Her, One Woman
Dashan is not as clever as Ying nor as far‑sighted as he thinks, but whatever Ying says is whatever it is.
"Then I'll go arrange it right away; I heard he brought many gifts, and we can put those things to good use."
"Go do it; we can't let them look down on us."
Dashan nodded, ready to go, but after a few steps he suddenly thought of something, turned quickly toward Ying, "Ying, if Om still can't have offspring, why not select a few more young females, they…"
"Shut up, this is my matter, Dashan. Don't let Qinghuan hear these words, or you'll have a hard time, understand?"
Dashan: "…"
"I was wrong; pretend you didn't hear."
After Dashan hurried away, Mother stepped out behind him, her steps light, but Ying heard her.
"Mother, why did you get up?"
Mother, wearing a Hemp Robe, walked a bit unsteady, circled to Ying's side, looked up at her son, "Ying, how many years have you been Clan Leader?"
Ying, knowing what Mother wanted to say, turned his back, "Mother, since you heard, let me be clear: Qinghuan and I will have offspring; no one may use the Tribe Rules to threaten me."
"Ying, isn't it normal for this tribe to have one male and several females? If you can't tell Qinghuan, Mother will speak for you; as Clan Leader you may have many females, as long as they bear children of your blood, Mother would be happy even to death. Qinghuan is too weak—what to do?"
"Mother, she can bear; I trust her."
Ying's words left Mother speechless; indeed, she also liked Qinghuan, but her belly had shown no sign, and she was anxious.
Ying raised his hand high, "Mother, look at everything here; if it weren't for Qinghuan we'd still be as we were—no cooked food, no Tulou, no rice to eat. All of this Qinghuan brought. From now on, don't bring this up again. You are my mother; I won't punish you, but if I hear anyone say Qinghuan can't bear, or tell me to find females, I won't be courteous to anyone."
After saying that, Ying strode away. When he left, Mother wanted to follow, but thinking her son refused to find females to bear children, she realized she had to go find Qinghuan.
When she turned, she suddenly saw… "Qinghuan"
Nan Qinghuan stood right behind her, barefoot, not wearing shoes; she had just
"Mother, I heard everything."
Mother's face turned deathly pale; she liked Qinghuan, but the
"Qinghuan, don't be angry. Listen, Mother says Ying has been Clan Leader for four years; if next year there is still no offspring, he'll be…"
"Mother, I know he needs offspring."
"Qinghuan…"
Nan Qinghuan knew Ying could only be with her, so she rejected Mother's suggestion; she also
"Mother, you might say I'm immature, but I can't stand Ying having another woman. I can give up everything, I just need this man, this heart. If he can't even do that, I'm willing to step aside; I won't be the tribe's Om any more. Mother, I'm going to the fields to see."
"Ah, Qinghuan, Qinghuan…"
After Nan Qinghuan hurried away, on the towering rooftop Ying stood there, having heard all they said.
She said she only wanted him, one man.
Nan Qinghuan felt restless; she also wanted to conceive, but this wasn't something she could
Suddenly Ying's voice came from behind.
She turned her head toward the towering rooftop; Ying stood there like a Giant, motionless, staring at her.
Their gazes met, an eternity in a glance.
He placed his hand over his chest, making a heart shape—a gesture Nan Qinghuan taught him—but Ying thought it too feminine and refused.
He didn't expect that he had
That gesture meant "only you in this life."
"Only you."
Her mood instantly improved, and she also made the same gesture in response; Ying, seeing it, became ecstatic and sprinted down.
"Ying"
The two embraced, reluctant to part; seeing this, Mother could only sigh deeply.
"Never mind, the Heavenly God will arrange everything."
She believes!
The tribe members, unaware of what happened to the couple, gathered to watch the spectacle.
"Ah, Ying and they are hugging again, so affectionate."
"Indeed, Om and Ying are truly a pair created by Heaven and Earth."
"Isn't that so?"
Ying sensed she was gasping, then gently let her go; his eyes glittered, "Qinghuan, I heard everything you said. I only want you, just you; even without offspring I won't let go."
He had already decided; even without offspring he wouldn't abandon her.
He won't!
Now his Tribe has grown strong; no one may use the rules to force his abdication.
Impossible!
He wants both a woman and the Clan Leader's position.
"Ying"
Nan Qinghuan's tears instantly welled up, "Damn, who can stand this? 'I won't, I can definitely get pregnant, definitely.'"
Behind them, Dashan and the crowd rushed forward, "Ying, someone from the Snake Tribe has arrived."
The Snake Tribe members arrived; as Clan Leader, Ying naturally had to go. After Ying left with Youchao Xuan and Ashu, Yao hurried up, "Spirit Woman, the Tribe is expanding, and the Snake Tribe has come to visit you."
"Snake Tribe?"
Nan Qinghuan furrowed her brows tightly, "What tribe is this I've never heard of? Snake Tribe?" Yao nodded, seeing a tear glint in her eye, "Goddess, what's wrong?"
She quickly wiped her tears, "It's nothing, do you have something to say?"
"Did Ying bully you?"
Yao couldn't bear to see her wronged; if Ying bullied her, he would not let it go.
No, how could he bully me? Do you have something?
Yes, the Iron Tool is finished and it's time for me to go back, but when I return I want to tell you about this.
Yao's Tulou has been repaired, but no one has moved in yet. He came this time to help Ying with volunteer work, and after finishing he will also go back.
He plans to plant a season of corn and experimentally grow rice in the fields.
These rice are so tasty that he wants to let the wolf clan fill the land with the fragrance of rice blossoms.
Nan Qinghuan looked around and then said, "You come with me."
The two of them went to the field's edge; the rice had just been harvested here, and it had rained, so many frogs were leaping in the field, emitting ribbits.
These frogs are also excellent game.
She saw that Yao wasn't in the Tulou and knew the matter was serious, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
