Chapter 26: Kiss Him and He Won't Be Angry

Hearing that, Nan Qinghuan felt conflicted; yes, Ying had saved her, but as a modern person she could not live among these savages, so she would have to run at the first chance. She had just heard Axi say that the people here live in a mixed arrangement, naturally a woman has several men and a man has several women, and such a chaotic relationship was unacceptable to her.

Isn't that just free mixing? Moreover, Axi said that Ying will also have many females, meaning that whichever woman he chooses will become the tribe's Oumu.

Thinking of that made her want to flee even more.

"Yeah, I've never seen Ying so scared and worried; he's afraid you'll die."

Facing Axi's words, Nan Qinghuan remained silent; as they spoke, they had already reached the Cave Entrance where Ying lived, and Axi only then halted, eyes alert as he glanced into the cave, "Qinghuan, you're here."

Inside Ying's Cave, the Bonfire blazed bright as daylight. As the chief, he naturally lived in the best cave, which was ventilated, spacious, and occupied only by him; A Mu lived elsewhere. The tribe seemed patrilineal, so women's status was low, and A Mu rarely visited Ying.

Nan Qinghuan saw it, but she dared not go in. She kept recalling how Ying had left in anger, wondering if the man would become lustful and bully her again. Although Ying had saved her tonight and she felt a bit moved, the thought of him wanting her to bear children was instantly intolerable.

"Qinghuan, go inside."

Seeing her freeze in fear, Axi said, "Don't be scared; Ying likes you. Go back and apologize to him, give him a kiss and he'll stop being angry."

"Kiss him?"

Nan Qinghuan stared wide‑eyed, speechless—what kind of method is this? Axi's cheeks were flushed, "Qinghuan, both you and Ying are like that, why are you shy? I'm looking forward to the year you bear Ying's offspring; that will be the tribe's greatest joy. Qinghuan, you must give Ying a healthy offspring."

Nan Qinghuan: "…"

"Another offspring!"

Axi was about to say something when a huge Mammoth emerged from outside the cave; she felt her legs go weak and stepped back, "Qinghuan, I'll go first."

"Hey, Axi, A…"

Nan Qinghuan was about to speak when the Mammoth lunged at her, its long trunk pushing her onto its back, then it walked toward the cave.

"Hey, put me down, put me down!"

The Mammoth ignored her and carried her into the cave; inside, the Bonfire blazed bright as daylight, and Ying was speaking with a group of savages.

She fell silent instantly.

Why so many people? Those savages, upon seeing her, dared not look up, only respectfully listened to Ying's commands. When Ying saw her return, he ignored her, focusing on his own business. After the savages finished, they said something she couldn't understand and then left.

After the group dispersed, Ying finally looked at the Mammoth. He was seated on a high stone stool, his upper body bare, revealing a muscular chest; a Beast Skin still wrapped his waist, long hair cascaded over his shoulders like a waterfall. In the candlelight, he exuded a strangely charismatic, domineering aura.

Nan Qinghuan tried to get down, but the Mammoth was too tall; she fell and got hurt. "Hey, you let it—let me down!"

Seeing her struggle, Ying feared she'd fall, so he gently waved his hand at the Mammoth; the beast immediately placed Nan Qinghuan beside him, then crouched. Nan Qinghuan climbed down from the elephant's back.

"Ying…"

She had just called out when Ying reached out, grabbed her, and held her tightly in his arms. She let out a startled "Ah!" and said, "Ying, don't do that…"
