Chapter 271: The Overbearing Savage

Seeing the murderous intent in Ying's eyes, Nan Qinghuan's body stiffened a bit; she suddenly thought of… Not good, Dashan!

Did something happen to Dashan? She immediately rose and sat up straight; the air inside the Cave was very humid, it felt comfortable, Ying had arranged everything well, but she was now very nervous.

Because she knew Ying had sent someone to kill.

He is a man you can't offend; the Rongdi sent someone to hurl sulfur to incense his strongman, and he will not let those people go.

Then… "Ying, tell me the truth: did you send Dashan to kill that person?"

Nan Qinghuan asked him seriously; Ying's expression was also unpleasant. When he saw her sit up straight to question him, he also immediately stood and sat beside her, and finally nodded.

Indeed, nothing can be hidden from his Qinghuan.

Just as expected!

"You're being too impulsive; something will go wrong."

Ying knew Nan Qinghuan would blame him and was about to explain something when Ashu's voice came from outside.

"Ying, Ying"

Hearing Ashu's voice, Ying immediately stood, covered Nan Qinghuan with a Beast Skin, patted her head in a very indulgent manner, and said, "Don't worry, I'll go out and take a look; I'll be back soon to keep you company."

His hand brushed her long hair, stirring a sensation like fresh grass; after he went out, Nan Qinghuan couldn't stay still, so she quickly stood and chased after him.

Outside, Ashu waited anxiously; two tribe members were behind him, and on closer look they were Rongdi people.

"Ying"

Ying stepped out, looked at Ashu, and asked, "Ashu, what's up?"

"My men captured these two spies who were spying outside the Na Shan Tribe, but Dashan and they…"

"Failed?"

Ying had actually already guessed; they've been gone so long and Dashan's group still hasn't returned, so something must have happened.

Rongdi was already difficult to handle, and now there was another outsider; this person, like Qinghuan, possessed a whole set of skills. He thought for a long time that this person could not stay, because helping Rongdi would mean opposing him.

Moreover, what worried him most was whether this person knew Qinghuan; if so, that person would take Qinghuan away. He could come here and also find a way to leave; he would not let anyone take Qinghuan.

Indeed, he was very insecure; the deep‑rooted inferiority had not been eliminated. He was terrified—extremely terrified that this newcomer would affect his and Qinghuan's happiness.

He didn't want anyone to shatter his happiness.

No!

Ashu's complexion wasn't good, but he still nodded, then had Asu take out a leaf wrapped around something and gently opened it.

In an instant, inside the leaf were two blood‑soaked fingers.

On closer inspection, they were a thumb and an index finger, blood‑soaked and chilling to the bone!

Seeing the fingers, Ying clenched his fist and asked, "Whose?"

"It's Dashan's. The Rongdi sent Flying People lone wolf here saying you must exchange a person, otherwise they will kill Dashan and them."

"You want me to exchange a person?"

Ying radiated intense anger, "When?"

After the matters here were settled, Ying turned to go accompany Nan Qinghuan, and he saw her standing at the Cave Entrance.

The sight made his spine go cold, as if he had done something wrong.

"Qinghuan"

He immediately stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and said, "Why did you come out? I told you not to…"

"Did something happen to Dashan?"

Ying lowered his head, silent for a moment.

Nan Qinghuan took a deep breath and said, "I heard everything you and Ashu said, Ying. You shouldn't have been so impulsive to send Dashan to kill that person; that person is far more powerful than you imagined. How could you…"

"He injured my strongman, so I can't use him; I had to do it this way."

"What are you saying? Have you even met this man?"

Ying, knowing he couldn't hide it, nodded, "I sent people to offer goodwill but were rejected; I had no choice. Qinghuan, don't worry about this. You're pregnant now, focus on taking care of yourself. I'll go rescue Dashan; you stay safely in the Tribe."

Nan Qinghuan naturally refused, because she also wanted to see who that person was. An outsider—if this person could be persuaded to help them leave Rongdi, wouldn't that remove an enemy? "No, I'll go with you, Ying. Perhaps we can still persuade this person to leave Rongdi and turn back to help our Tribe."

Those words made Ying stare at her deeply and say, "Qinghuan, this isn't easy. He has already refused me; I also sent Dashan to shoot him down. He won't submit to me."

Nan Qinghuan truly hadn't expected Ying had already sent people to find that man. "Even if he's an enemy, I still want to see him. Ying, let me go with you, okay?"

Ying was very worried about her safety; now that they have a child, they must be even more careful.

Nan Qinghuan naturally knew what he was worried about. "With you protecting me, I'll be fine. Let me go with you, okay?"

Night fell low, and the stars glittered.

The Mountain Tribe flourished amid a sea of Bonfire.

Rongdi looked at the Tribe, now covered with corn and sweet‑potato vines, and smiled so broadly with satisfaction he could barely close his mouth.

It was late at night and he still couldn't sleep, because tomorrow he would wait for Ying to arrive.

This time, he would settle things and avenge the grudge at the Golden Nest.

Behind him, She Nü stepped forward cautiously, "Leader, would you like some water?"

Rongdi turned his head, gave She Nü a glance, let out a cold snort, and lifted the Earthen Bowl from her hand in one motion.

"Get out of the way, useless thing. I let you try to confuse Li Xiang, and you were rejected by him. What use is there in keeping you? You're just a waste of food."

She Nü instantly knelt upon hearing that, "Leader, spare me. Li Xiang doesn't like me; I have no way."

"He doesn't like you, and you won't think of a way. A female has many ways to keep a male. She Nü, I'll give you one more chance; if you still can't make him want you, then I'll have to make you a slave. The Mountain Tribe doesn't support the useless."

She Nü stood up, intending to poison Rongdi, but she had no chance; Rongdi wouldn't even drink water she gave.

Forget it, think of another plan.

After She Nü left, Duo Luo appeared behind him. Duo Luo stepped forward and gave a slight bow, "Leader, this She Nü is only thinking about revenge. Why are you still keeping her, letting her try to confuse Li Xiang?"

Duo Luo, upon learning this, became angry; she dislikes any female being with Li Xiang.

I don't like it!

Rongdi has its own ideas: "I heard that the Snake Woman of the Snake Tribe has a special method to enchant males. If she enchants Li Xiang, he will become utterly devoted to serving my Rongdi, will never think of leaving, and will never think of seeking Nan Qinghuan."

"But chief, this female bears a grudge against the Na Shan Tribe. If you need someone to cage Li Xiang's heart, there's a candidate here."

When those words were spoken, Rongdi was puzzled, "Who?"

Duo Luo thought for a moment, "I.

"You…"

"Yes, I can."

Rongdi looked at Duo Luo, then let out a low laugh, "Haha, the High Priest also has his eyes on Li Xiang. Not bad. The Snake Woman is ultimately an outsider. If you can capture Li Xiang, my Rongdi will arrange a lively wedding for you two. How does that sound?"

Duo Luo was both startled and delighted, "Chief, are you serious?"

Even the High Priest, who cannot marry or choose a male he likes and must remain solitary for life, never expected Rongdi could break that rule.

Although Rongdi is a Beastman, his thinking isn't that backward, "You're right; the Snake Woman is still an outsider, and she might not spare me. You are the tribe's High Priest; if you two are together, they will naturally aid me. Had I known you had this intention, why would I have given the Snake Woman?"
