Chapter 261: The First Gemstone Bracelet Sent by the Beastman Husband

~8 min read 1,409 words

Nan Qinghuan glanced at him; this Beastman was truly ugly, and, like the Rongdi, had totem markings on his face that made him look frightening.

"Did you think that when you came to the tribal alliance, Ying and I wouldn't know something had happened to your tribe? A few days ago the Quanrong tried to conquer your tribe; you were afraid you couldn't deal with the Quanrong. You heard that we are now powerful, so you brought gifts to surrender, hoping we would protect you, right?"

Ada didn't expect that this female knew even these things: "How do you know?"

"Has the Ying Tribe always been led by a single female?" Nan Qinghuan wiped her sweat, not knowing why she felt especially uncomfortable and exhausted today.

She gave him a cold glance, "I think Ying would tell me, so if you want to protect your tribe, be smarter; I'm taking these things."

Leaving that remark, Nan Qinghuan swaggered and let someone take the items away.

"Look at the Dorado wind!"

Moreover, the Beastman didn't dare to stop her, because she was right; they need to rely on Ying temporarily and will speak again after they get through this.

"Father, what are you doing? You can't let her take the treasure; didn't you forget this is our tribe's secret, the secret of making Shoes. Now the Ying Tribe already has so many things, how can we…"

"I understand."

Ada chuckled softly, his gaze complicated as he watched the direction Nan Qinghuan and the others left.

"Father, what do you understand now?"

The Snake Woman could have killed that female just now, but Father stopped her—why? "Ying listened to that female's words; luckily we didn't act on her just now, otherwise the trip to the tribe would have been in vain."

"Father, are you scared? Are you afraid of that female?"

"Why are you in a hurry? Didn't you notice that female's eyes are heterochromatic?"

"Heterochromatic? So what?"

Ada's expression was complicated as he watched Nan Qinghuan's retreating back, "People with heterochromatic eyes cannot be with Ying; the Curse will come true. Rest assured, even if she brings the cotton back, she can't make Shoes; making Shoes from cotton requires many crafts she can't handle."

Hearing this, the Snake Woman seemed much happier, "Father's words make sense; among all the Jiuzhou Tribe, only we have this ability. Even if she takes the treasure, she can't use it, but you mentioned a Curse—I don't understand?"

Ada didn't want to say much more; he just waited to see Ying's outcome.

"Chief, what should we do now?"

The tribe members grew impatient; what to do now? Ada had already decided, "You all return to the tribe first; the Snake Woman follows me to the Mountain Tribe."

"Father, do we really have to go find the Rongdi?"

Twilight hung low; that day, the tribe members were extremely curious about the things Nan Qinghuan brought.

"Sister Qinghuan, what are these soft things?"

A Tu blinked, finding the items fresh; he wanted to pinch the soft Cotton. Nan Qinghuan smiled, "Silly child, this is precious Cotton; later it can be made into Shoes, clothing, blankets. Then A Tu will have a warm cotton quilt and won't fear snow in Winter, okay?"

A Tu was overjoyed; even though he didn't understand everything she said, he was still very happy.

"Great, Sister Qinghuan, you're amazing!"

Soon, everyone told Ying the good news; Ying was lighting the treasure sent by the Quanrong not far away.

Upon hearing that Qinghuan had gone elsewhere and also brought treasure, he immediately went to see her.

Twilight hung low, the sun blazed fiercely.

When Ying saw Nan Qinghuan, she was having Youchao Xuan and Ashu take all these items down and store them, waiting for her next move.

The Cotton was obtained, but turning it into Shoes requires many steps. She had Youchao Xuan send people to plant these saplings; by next year they'll grow into Cotton trees, which will bear seeds, and then the area will be full of plantable Cotton.

On the Ancient Land, there are now artificially cultivated Cotton trees; the tribe can enjoy better lives.

"Qinghuan"

Ying saw her and immediately ran over, then grabbed Nan Qinghuan's hand, "Come, I'll show you something good."

Nan Qinghuan was a bit stunned, "What good thing? I also have good things here?"

Ying was impatient, "Look at mine first, come."

What Nan Qinghuan didn't expect was that the Quanrong actually sent items, and quite a few: the Bamboo basket contained weapons, Iron Spears, and glittering gemstones.

The Quanrong Tribe is far from here; they were truly afraid the Tyrannosaurus Rex would come after them, so they obediently delivered.

"Ying, are these all from the Quanrong?"

Ying gave a bright laugh, very pleased, "Exactly, he wouldn't dare not deliver. People, distribute these items house by house; every member of our tribe will have a share."

Hearing this, Dashan and Ji Lei were delighted; Dashan, seeing the sparkling gemstones, said, "Ying, Axi will definitely like these, so I'll take them."

Axi likes them, but Nan Qinghuan is not interested in these items; people of the Remote Antiquity Era haven't reached that aesthetic yet, and she herself doesn't like such ornaments.

Moreover, she finds them troublesome.

She feels she lives like a tomboy.

"Qinghuan, this string of gemstones is for you."

After saying that, Ying pulled from his body a crystal‑clear gemstone bracelet, strung together with a very tough cord; it was crudely made but looked nice.

The crystal‑clear gems shone brilliantly under the sun.

Very pleasing to the eye.

She hadn't liked them before, but Ying's gift she had to accept.

She extended her fair right hand and handed it to her; Ying personally placed it on her.

"This is called a magic circle; from now on you can never escape."

Ying chuckled softly, seeming to have done something delightful; Nan Qinghuan frowned, "Why does this man keep showing up? Always thinking she wants to run?" After the gemstone bracelet was given, A Mu also arrived not far away.

"Qinghuan, come eat this."

A Mu came over with a grin, then handed her some red fruit, "Here, eat the Holy Maiden Fruit and you'll be able to have offspring, definitely."

A Mu placed all her hope on this; Nan Qinghuan was unhappy about not being able to bear children, but seeing that the son could only be hers, she couldn't help it.

"Mother…"

She understood A Mu wanted grandchildren, but her womb was unreliable—what could she do? "Mother, this is…"

Nan Qinghuan was bewildered by the fruit, "Isn't that just red dates? Does the Remote Antiquity Era still have red dates?" Seeing through her doubt, Ying hurried, "Eat quickly; this is a rare treasure, only the Quanrong Tribe has Holy Maiden Fruit, eat it."

She was somewhat helpless; the tribe treated these red dates as treasure.

"Alright, I'll eat."

These things that are ordinary in modern people's eyes are all precious to these Ancient People; she won't waste their goodwill.

Just as she was about to eat, she noticed that Ying was injured.

"What's wrong with your hand?"

She saw a wound on Ying's arm and felt a bit worried, but Ying turned his hand behind his back, not wanting her to see, and his expression was also complicated.

"It's nothing, just a small wound. You eat quickly; this is the most precious fruit, and only my females can enjoy it."

She knew that Ying gave her all the good ones, so she quickly picked one and said, "I'll eat just one, the rest are for A Mu."

"A Mu doesn't eat; you eat, okay? Only after eating can you bear offspring."

"Bear offspring?"

I've never heard that eating red dates can help with pregnancy.

Having no choice, under the gaze of mother and child, she ate all the red dates; after she finished, A Mu's eyes shone brightly.

"Good, that's great, Ying, is your divine blood ready?"

Hearing this, Nan Qinghuan looked up at Ying with some confusion, "Divine blood?"

What is this thing? Ying nodded at A Mu, then bellowed, "Someone, bring the divine blood."

Soon, Axi personally brought a bowl of bright‑red fresh blood. She laughed cheerfully, not feeling anything strange, and said, "Qinghuan, drink it quickly; this divine blood is hard to find, it's the best gift Ying gave you, drink it quickly, then you will be able to bear offspring."
