Chapter 288: He Won

Nan Qinghuan could only reach out to soothe him, gently patting his back like coaxing a child, "Ying, for the sake of the baby, just endure a little, okay?"

Ying took a deep breath of scorching air, his dissatisfied look making Nan Qinghuan find it truly funny.

This man actually has such a cute side.

Really unexpected.

"Alright, for Qinghuan and the baby I'll endure, definitely."

Nan Qinghuan then realized his body was very hot, as if he had a fever.

"Ying, what's wrong with you?"

Ying was actually very uncomfortable; the fire rose and needed to be suppressed, so he immediately stood up to leave, "I'm fine, I'll go check if the bonfire gathering is ready."

"Ah…"

After Ying went out, A Mu cautiously poked her head out; Nan Qinghuan, seeing A Mu so careful, asked, "A Mu, what's the matter?"

A Mu, a bit embarrassed, hurried inside; Nan Qinghuan's cheeks flushed red—she must have heard.

A Mu stepped forward and smiled, "Qinghuan, you're pregnant now; Ying is still young, he can't keep holding it in, look…"

"A Mu, what do you mean?"

Nan Qinghuan actually understood a bit; could it be… A Mu knew she would be upset, so she whispered gently, "Qinghuan, if Ying is with other females, don't get angry, it's just…"

"A Mu, stop, he won't be with other females."

"Hey, Qinghuan, where are you going?"

Nan Qinghuan felt irritated; A Mu was truly thinking of her own son—was she suggesting she agree to let Ying go find a woman to solve it? Impossible!

When Nan Qinghuan went out, Axi also came, "Qinghuan…"

Seeing Axi looking better, Nan Qinghuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Axi, feeling better?"

"Qinghuan, I'm much better; this pregnancy is really exhausting. Hey, Qinghuan, where did Ying go?"

She said while walking, "He went out. So, is the bonfire gathering ready?"

"It's almost ready. I came from there; Ashu sent me to call you."

Nan Qinghuan looked and saw Dashan wasn't at home, "Where are the Dashan People? Why isn't he with you?"

"Dashan, he…"

"What happened to that kid, bullied you?"

"No, Qinghuan, he doesn't dare. He went to the slave quarters; he'll be back soon."

"Slave quarters?"

Nan Qinghuan was bewildered—what place was this, she knew nothing about? Where did the Ying Tribe get a slave quarters? Axi, seeing Nan Qinghuan's confusion, was also startled, "Ying didn't tell you?"

"No, what is it for?"

The two women walked and talked; when Nan Qinghuan learned what the slave quarters were for, she was completely stunned.

She never imagined the Ying Tribe had such a place. Axi, seeing her ignorance, said, "Qinghuan, don't blame Ying; he just doesn't want you to know we have slaves here. Those slaves are for the males to use. I'm pregnant, I can't do that. Dashan went there; did Ying go?"

"What, Ying also went?"

"Yes," Axi replied, "there's a place here specifically for these men to vent their desires. How could I not know?"

"Come, follow me and let's take a look."

"Qinghuan, if you see Ying there, don't get angry; he's just…"

"Shut up."

Soon, when they arrived, before them stood a cave, from which an indescribable sound emanated.

There were pleas for mercy, and… Nan Qinghuan and Axi stood there, too scared to go in. It was hard to imagine such things existed in the Ying Tribe; she only just learned about the slaves. Actually it isn't surprising—those who capture me, I capture theirs; all this follows the tribe's rules. Those slaves were probably the ones the last Dog Rong sent.

She originally thought those women were brought here to pair with men of the tribe, but didn't expect Ying to bring them here to solve his physiological needs.

Even though it's the Remote Antiquity Era, she absolutely will not allow such women to exist in her tribe.

As a fellow woman, she understands their suffering; she isn't a saint, but this matter must be dealt with.

Also, Ying just left; will he come here? Could he be inside? Soon, someone emerged from inside.

Those men were coarse, tugged at their pants and stepped out; when they saw Nan Qinghuan, they didn't seem to mind, just laughed and approached, "Om, why are you here?"

Nan Qinghuan, seeing these men, asked, "Dashan, is he still inside?"

"Dashan's here, he's still strong; that female was …"

The man, seeing her pale, slipped away immediately; Axi, noticing Nan Qinghuan's displeasure, knew she was angry.

"Qinghuan, don't worry, Ying doesn't fancy this place; he won't come."

Nan Qinghuan believed Ying, but after all he's still a wild man.

Wild men's desires are stronger than ordinary people's; they have little sense of shame… This is where modern values clash with those of the Ancient People.

"Axi, may I ask, you know Dashan is inside with other women, aren't you angry?"

That made Axi shake her head, feeling ashamed, "Qinghuan, how could I be angry? I can't give him what he needs; it's natural for him to seek women. All the men in our tribe are like that. When a woman is pregnant she must come here. You didn't know this place before; Ying didn't tell you. But rest assured, Ying has never been here, not even once."

Nan Qinghuan looked at Axi with helplessness. Yes, she's a wild person; this is the tribe's way of survival. Only she, being an outsider, can't accept her own man seeking any woman to satisfy his needs.

Anyway, she can't get past this here.

Just as she was about to speak, Dashan, who had finished his business inside the cave, walked out. When he saw Nan Qinghuan and Axi, he was momentarily stunned, then hurried forward to greet them, as if what he'd done was completely ordinary.

"Om, Axi, why are you here?"

"Dashan, are you feeling better?"

Dashan let out a simple laugh, "Why did you all come?"

Nan Qinghuan was speechless; Axi's man had just been with a woman, and she was somehow so delighted.

Forget it, it's a mindset she can't comprehend.

She glanced at Dashan, a satisfied look, thinking of the women inside, "How many females are inside?" Dashan, a bit embarrassed, replied, "Om, you can't blame Ying for this; we've always had…"

"Enough talk, may I go in and take a look?"

While speaking, Nan Qinghuan walked in, and when she saw those women looking at her in terror, her mind seemed about to explode.

The women wore no clothes, only a Beast Skin wrapped around them as they lay on the ground, and the place was in total disarray.

The women's eyes were filled with terror and hopelessness, and that gaze pierced her heart.

Hard to imagine that such a gruesome tragedy could happen in the harmonious Tribe she had built? "Save me, please, save us…"
