Chapter 321: Rongdi Personally Brings the Bodhi Root

"What?"

Qinghuan's body had a problem, which made Ying very anxious. When they rushed back to the Tulou, the house was already crowded with people outside; the tribe members cleared a path, and someone shouted, "Ying is back!"

Mother was so worried she almost cried, "Ying, you're finally back, what should we do?"

Bleeding is never a good sign; Mother, being a woman, knows that. Can this child still be saved? Axi's fear of losing a baby still lingered in her heart, and suddenly it fell upon Qinghuan.

What on earth is happening to this Tribe? Ying strode forward into the room without heeding Mother's words. Inside, Nan Qinghuan was lying on the bed, wrapped in a blanket.

She knew exactly what was happening: a threatened miscarriage.

But she needed to take medicine.

She knew which medicine to take; she had planned to wait until everyone left and go to the Plane Mall, but with so many people she couldn't leave.

So she could only stay here and wait for the right moment.

"Qinghuan"

Ying came in, saw Nan Qinghuan curled up like a ball, and felt a sharp pang of sorrow; he stepped forward and embraced her, his heart aching.

"Qinghuan, are you okay?"

Nan Qinghuan, held tightly by him, was afraid Ying would worry, and said, "I'm fine, don't worry. I can find a way to treat it; I will definitely keep this child."

"Keep the child, yes, keep the child."

Ying, still holding her, seemed to make a decision in his heart; he gently brushed her aside and placed a soft kiss on her forehead.

"When I return, I will bring the medicine back, and I will protect our child."

"Ying, where are you going?"

Nan Qinghuan, not knowing where he was headed, immediately reached out and grabbed him, "Don't go, it's useless. I will treat it with Herbal Medicine and other remedies; I will find a way to keep this child."

She didn't know what Ying intended, but the only option now was to find medicine for treatment. Perhaps because her constitution was too weak and the environment here affected her, modern people find it hard to bear a child of the Ancient People.

It made her feel her body was unreliable, why couldn't it work? When she saw Nan Qinghuan claim there was a cure, Axi, who was also worried, shook her head, "Qinghuan, don't be foolish. Those Herbal Medicine are useless; only Bodhi Root will work, but the Bodhi Root was taken by the Rongdi. What can we do?"

Axi's words left Nan Qinghuan completely stunned; she stared at Ying in amazement. "So… is that it?" she immediately placed her hand on Ying's shoulder, "So you wanted the Bodhi Root for me?"

She suddenly understood why Ying, even with his injured foot, insisted on going to get the Bodhi Root—because it was for her. Thinking of this, she felt guilty toward Ying; this man always silently did everything, which moved her deeply, and she felt like crying.

Outside, Ji Lei also came in, "Ying, don't go. Rongdi won't give us the Bodhi Root; you forgot he drove us out."

"Yes, Ying, he won't even share the secrets of the Iron Tool, nor give us the Bodhi Root. What should we do about the Goddess's body?"

Ayina also worried; women of the Matriarchal Tribe usually conceive easily, yet Nan Qinghuan's body was so weak. Hearing this, Nan Qinghuan's tears fell instantly; she reached out and gently cupped Ying's face, tears streaming down, shattering yet sparkling like diamonds.

"Fool, why didn't you tell me?"

Mother also came in and said to Nan Qinghuan, "Qinghuan, Ying gave you the White Skin Doll for your body, but your body still cannot bear his Bone Blood. Ah, what should we do?"

"What doll?"

Nan Qinghuan was even more stunned.

Hearing this, Ji Lei and Dashan were shocked; Dashan hurried forward, "Ying, you gave the White Skin Doll to the Goddess; that was yours…"

"Everyone, shut up."

Ying suddenly stood up, gave the crowd a cold glance. His complexion was grim, but his eyes were clear as water, "No more talking. Ji Lei, go fetch Xiao Guai. No matter what, I will go find Rongdi and get the Bodhi Root."

After saying that, he turned his head toward Nan Qinghuan; his voice softened a bit, as he gave her all his good temper.

"Qinghuan, wait for me to return; I will definitely save our child."

Leaving that sentence, Ying turned to leave, but Nan Qinghuan suddenly said, "Don't go. Rongdi won't give it to you; he was injured by Jingang last time. Senior brother said he also needs the Bodhi Root. Ying, don't go; he won't give it to you."

She had already decided to rely on space; at worst she would use up all the Merit Beans to buy some pregnancy‑preserving medicine.

No matter the cost, she would keep this child.

This is Ying's hope and also hers.

Hearing her words, Ying straightened his back, his eyes filled with resolve, "I will ask him; as long as he agrees, I will do anything. Mother, Axi, take care of Qinghuan."

Leaving that, Ying turned to leave; Nan Qinghuan tried to stop him, not wanting him to beg on her behalf.

"You stay, don't go ask him; I can…"

"Ying…"

Outside, Ashu hurried in, "Ying, Rongdi arrived with Li Xiang; they came to deliver the Bodhi Root."

When that was said, everyone's faces turned pale.

What, Rongdi came and is delivering something? Ying suddenly burst out laughing, "People, slaughter pigs and butcher sheep to welcome them."

After Ying led the people out, Youchao Xuan hurried to Nan Qinghuan's side to take her pulse. After checking, his brows tightened, "Goddess, your body has some issues."

Nan Qinghuan obviously knew there was a problem; she was too weak, but now she didn't want to deal with it.

"I didn't mishear, did I? Rongdi and senior brother came to deliver the Bodhi Root. What exactly is this Bodhi Root?"

She never imagined Rongdi would come and bring the Bodhi Root. Has the man changed his ways? Or did senior brother persuade him not to oppose them? If that's true, that would be wonderful.

Youchao Xuan, seeing she knew nothing about the Bodhi Root, explained, "The Bodhi Root is a Divine Herb of the Jiuzhou Dadi. Legend says it can revive the dead. Men who eat it become healthy and can heal old wounds; women who eat it greatly strengthen the body, like a bull. Surely Ying went there to obtain this. He already saw your frailty; you constantly vomit and can't eat. The Bodhi Root can even help you keep the pregnancy."

These words left Nan Qinghuan quite astonished; after all, she studied medicine, but the Bodhi Root having such effects was unheard of.

"I'll go take a look."

Here, when Ying led the group to the Tribe's gate, Rongdi and Li Xiang were already waiting there. The three met again, but this time none harbored the previous hostility.

"Ying"

Rongdi stood there as someone presented an item: a white, fluffy, root‑like object wrapped in leaves—that was the precious Bodhi Root.

"You wanted this, so I brought it to you; take it and brew medicine for Nan Qinghuan."
