Chapter 260: What Is the Treasure as White as Snow?

That Ada snorted coldly. "I've heard the Rongdi don't have an Omu yet, and his tribe is developing too, with the help of a priest. Why don't we go join his tribe? Maybe we'll have a chance to survive."

"A priest?"

She Nü licked the corner of her mouth. She knew Rongdi was also a decent male.

Perhaps... "Chieftain..."

A tribesman hurried over from behind. "Someone has broken into our mountain—they must be going to steal the treasure!"

"How bold. Who is it?"

It was noon.

The sun blazed fiercely!

When Nan Qinghuan and Youchao Xuan arrived at the mountain, they saw many trees there, covered in white little balls, each one trembling and swaying in the wind like snowflakes.

"Ha, found it. I didn't expect it to really be cotton."

She had thought cotton wouldn't appear in this Remote Antiquity Era, but it actually did!

That She Nü's shoes were probably made from a mix of this cotton and other things. She had to admit, the Snake Tribe had some skill.

As soon as she said this, ChaoJi didn't understand. "Spirit Woman, what are these little balls?"

Nan Qinghuan quickly stepped forward and personally picked one. "This is the other treasure as white as snow. Youchao Xuan, look?"

Seeing how happy she was, Youchao Xuan knew they had found it, but he had never seen this thing before.

He knew the treasure as white as snow was Salt, but was this thing also a treasure? "Goddess, what is this?"

Nan Qinghuan smiled. "What is it? This is cotton. With this cotton, we can make Cotton Cloth, and we can also make Cotton Shoes and Cloth Shoes. In the future, you can wear clothes made of Cotton Cloth, and when Winter comes, children can hide inside warm quilts and never get chilblains again."

She thought about how, if she got pregnant in the future, her own child wouldn't be without clothes to wear.

Wonderful.

ChaoJi heard her words and was very puzzled. "Cotton? This tiny little ball can make clothes?"

She didn't really believe it.

"Of course it can. Before anyone comes, let's pick some to take back. Also, dig up these little seedlings for me."

"Dig up seedlings?"

They set to work immediately, picking cotton and digging up seedlings on one side, while someone chased after them on the other.

After they finished, Youchao Xuan grew a bit anxious.

"Not good. Someone's coming—what do we do?"

This territory didn't belong to the Ying Tribe, but it had been occupied by the Snake Tribe for years, so it had become their land.

Nan Qinghuan had already guessed this. She had seen the shoes on that She Nü, so they must have made them from cotton picked here.

So, they knew she would come and were here to block them!

"What's there to fear? What can he do to us openly and honestly?"

Sure enough, when Ada and She Nü arrived, they saw them digging up a lot of things and preparing to leave.

"How dare you come here to dig up our treasure?"

"Ada, it's me."

Youchao Xuan shielded Nan Qinghuan behind him. Ada sneered. "So it's you. What, do you people of the Ying Tribe also like to steal? Leave the treasure behind, or I won't be polite."

"What are you saying? These things are gifts from the Heavenly God—how are they yours?"

Nan Qinghuan never backed down in a verbal fight.

"That's right, Ada. Although this land isn't the Ying Tribe's, it doesn't belong to your Snake Tribe either. We came here to pick things—that's a gift from the Heavenly God, and you have no right to stop us."

"Well said, Nan Qinghuan, dragging the Heavenly God into everything. Ying and I are already allied, and I don't want to make things hard for you. Put the things down, and I'll let you go."

Those things inside were their method for making shoes—they couldn't let them take them away.

Otherwise, the Ying Tribe would have one more thing. They already had so much—they couldn't let them snatch these things too!

"Ada, I told you, these things are gifts from the Heavenly God. You can take them, and I can take them—everyone can. If you won't let me leave, are you trying to break the alliance?"

"What did you say?"

"Father, you can't let them leave here. These treasures are ours."

She Nü had been humiliated by Nan Qinghuan and didn't want her to leave. Seeing She Nü arrive, Nan Qinghuan smiled. "It's Hei Meier. How ridiculous. Who says these treasures are yours? They're all gifts from the Heavenly God. Ada, are you going to step aside or not?"

Ada gritted his teeth and was about to say something when She Nü suddenly transformed her tail and struck at Nan Qinghuan. In an instant, ChaoJi shouted.

"Watch out!"

Nan Qinghuan dodged the attack, nearly losing her footing. She barely managed to steady herself by grabbing a tree.

"Hei Meier, put your stinky tail away. Ada, think carefully. If I don't make it back, your tribe will be finished too. Didn't you come to the alliance seeking protection? What, do you dare to make an enemy of Ying?"

She had to admit, these words made Ada immediately stop She Nü. "Stop!"

"Father!"

She Nü was furious. This female dared to lecture her—she deserved to die!

Weighing the pros and cons, Ada thought it over. "Nan Qinghuan, for the sake of my alliance with Ying, I'll spare you this time. If you come here again, I'll have someone eat you."

"Eat me? That depends on whether you have the ability. What are you standing around for? Go find me some baskets—I want to take these things back."

"You..."

Not only did Nan Qinghuan want to take them, she even wanted Ada and his people to help find baskets for her to carry them away.

Ada was very reluctant, but thinking of Ying's authority, he could only endure it.

"Go find her some baskets."

Because of Nan Qinghuan's words, Ada gave in. Yes, temporarily gave in, because he still needed Ying's help.

This female was right—at least today, he couldn't have a conflict. He had to wait until the Quanrong stopped attacking his tribe.

Otherwise, this trip would have been for nothing.

Very soon, those baskets arrived, and Nan Qinghuan didn't hold back this time, even letting Youchao Xuan and ChaoJi pick more, then having the wild deer carry them back.

When it was time to leave, Nan Qinghuan and Ada stood together; she saw that the Cotton and seedlings were packed to the brim, and had to admit that this harvest was huge.

"Ada, thanks. Rest assured, Dog Honor has already been recaptured by us; he knows you are allied with us, so he dares not attack you. This time you didn't come in vain."

Hearing that, Ada's face turned sour; how could this female know his thoughts? "What did you say?"
