Chapter 268: Encouraging Wolf Clansmen to Find Partners

Yao's words made Nan Qinghuan smile; she nodded, "That's right, that's probably what it means."

Although the excuse was a bit far‑fetched, Yao understood it and thought it reasonable, then he scoffed, "Look at what I've been planting, Goddess is right, I'll pay attention, come, I'll take you to see our new Tulou."

Yao was delighted to invite Nan Qinghuan and the others to tour his people's new houses; these were built with the help of Youchao Xuan's people, and his clan has since bid farewell to living in Caves.

"Sure, I also want to see how the Tulou was built?"

This Tulou was built together by everyone, but she hasn't seen it before.

The sun was fine that day, and walking along the sheep pasture path felt very pleasant; the Wolf Clansmen's forest was scarce, and the land everywhere had been cleared. They planted lots of corn and sweet potatoes, and from a distance the place had a countryside feel.

So nice.

Although primitive, it's already a huge step forward; the Ancient Land now has crops.

The clan members who saw her arrive all rushed forward to greet her. A Qi and A Lei were especially overjoyed, "Spirit Woman, you're back?"

"A Lei, what's this…"

A Lei's belly had unexpectedly grown, which made Nan Qinghuan very happy. A Lei hurried forward, a bit shy, and said, "Thanks to the Spirit Woman's blessing, we wouldn't have our current life otherwise."

"Indeed, Spirit Woman, our Wolf Clansmen are very grateful to you. Come to the Tulou and sit; we've prepared food and drink, please join us."

Seeing A Lei pregnant made Nan Qinghuan very happy; the girl is a good person. She was once chosen by Ying's father, and fortunately she also found a man.

He was a man with jet‑black skin, very sturdy, following behind A Lei to carry things for her; he seemed good to A Lei.

Passing through the Forest, a towering Tulou stood before them. The Tulou was built grandly, and the wooden door at the entrance was painted red, like an ancient vermilion gate, which left Nan Qinghuan astonished.

Is this cinnabar? Their wooden doors were originally their natural color; this vermilion looks better.

In the Ancient Land they hadn't found other pigments for decoration; she was too busy to attend to it. The priority now is that the clan members have plenty of food and clothing; appreciation of beautiful things will gradually increase.

"Spirit Woman has arrived."

A group of clan members waited at the doorway, and when she arrived they greeted her, "Spirit Woman, you're finally back; we've all been waiting for you."

"Everyone, go inside; don't just stand there."

The clan members put on the Hemp Robe and hemp trousers she had them make, completely ending the old era when Wolf Clansmen wore leaves.

All of our clan members have clothes to wear and houses to live in; Nan Qinghuan made it happen.

Nan Qinghuan was ushered inside by the clan members. ChaoJi found everything fresh. This Wolf Clansmen's settlement differed from the Ying Tribe; the terrain here was flat with few trees. Although the clan members wore Hemp Robes, … "Youchao Xuan, you said we could live such a good life?"

ChaoJi felt that the present days were far from enough and would surely get better. Didn't Youchao Xuan say that? When will the scenes described in the Heavenly Book be realized? Youchao Xuan stopped, looked at the vermilion gate, stepped forward and gently brushed the patterns on it, noting that the Wolf Clansmen were still very clever.

They actually used red stone as the dye for the door.

Really nice.

He sighed deeply, "Do you believe it? In the future this place will become a hub of people coming and going, with many splendid houses and beautiful clothing; the Wolf Clansmen will no longer be just Wolf Clansmen."

ChaoJi was startled by this, "Wait, how can the Tribe have people constantly coming and going?"

Youchao Xuan had seen this in a Fan Shell; their clan possesses a treasure called the Sea Fan Shell, and the Clan Leader can, with some divine power assistance, view certain visions.

So, that is an entirely new world.

He has always believed that following Nan Qinghuan's steps was correct; now the place they lived has been flooded by seawater, and it now seems this was a destined arrangement.

If the Tribe doesn't integrate, how can people come and go? Youchao Xuan shook his head, unsure how to explain, "Let's go, go inside and see how their Tulou is."

Nan Qinghuan instantly became a favorite; the clan members all respected her. Youchao Xuan and another stood silently behind her, while ChaoJi was very envious of Nan Qinghuan.

"Goddess truly is the deity's favorite; look how many people adore her. Youchao Xuan, if you don't like me, does that mean…"

"Shut up, stop talking nonsense. You'd better not let Ying hear these words, or he'll cut out your tongue."

ChaoJi: "..."

Knowing how fierce Ying is, she no longer dares to speak recklessly.

"Youchao Xuan, you all come quickly!"

Nan Qinghuan picked up two Corn Cobs and handed them to them; the corn was golden and cooked, emitting its distinctive sweet aroma. The Wolf Clansmen had long abandoned the era of eating raw meat and raw food.

Now they also cook meals; although there isn't much rice, she let them taste it. Having experienced the flavor of rice, they look forward to a bountiful harvest, to eat soft, fluffy rice.

The clan members are like that; they only change when they see something better, and she acted the same way.

A gradual, benevolent persuasion to change.

Little by little.

"Goddess..."

"Try their corn and Fruit Wine."

She hadn't forgotten them; Youchao Xuan was deeply moved, reached out and accepted, "Thank you."

Soon, someone approached Youchao Xuan for advice on a matter; after Youchao Xuan left, Nan Qinghuan and Yao sat down. She saw that they had crafted furniture—a Wooden Table and Wooden Stool—quite well made.

Even better than the Ying Tribe's.

The Wolf Clansmen also had artisans, and their work was quite good, but she noticed that the clan members hadn't moved in yet?

"Yao, why hasn't anyone moved yet? This Tulou is ready to be lived in."

She looked at it and thought it was almost done; it had been under construction for many days, so why the delay in moving? Hearing this, Yao also sat down. In front of them were fruits and corn offered to guests, the best things they could use to entertain distinguished visitors.

The Wolf Clansmen have completely changed.

"Dividing the family?"

"Yes, why hasn't the family split yet? This Tulou is ready to be lived in; you no longer have to live in Caves. Why hasn't the family split?"

Everyone must be eager to move in, but what's wrong with Yao? Yao seemed hesitant to speak; Nan Qinghuan saw it and asked, "What's wrong, ran into a problem?"

Whenever Yao stammered, she knew something was amiss; it must be a troublesome matter.

Yao was a bit embarrassed, "Spirit Woman, I originally didn't want to tell you about this. I wanted to solve it myself, but I couldn't figure out how to resolve it."

Hearing this, Nan Qinghuan was a bit puzzled; she sipped a bowl of water, finding it bland and tasteless.

If only there were tea leaves.

"What's the problem? Tell me."

This side is dealing with the problem; over there in Chonglin, Li Xiang, after getting Rongdi drunk, was taken out by Ji Nü. Ji Nü looked around warily, pointed at the dense forest, and said, "Beyond here lies the wolf clan. I eavesdropped on a lone wolf's conversation with Rongdi; he said Nan Qinghuan went to the wolf clan to look at the rice. If you want to find her, go now; that female should be the person you're looking for."
