Chapter 344: Li Xiang Finds His Happiness

Li Xiang glanced back at Duo Luo, who was following the Rongdi; Duo Luo's eyes were also on him. She strode forward, seized Li Xiang's hand, and in front of everyone said the words she had always wanted to say.

"Li Xiang, I want to marry you."

As soon as those words were spoken, the singers and dancers froze instantly, and everyone stared at them as if watching something strange.

They knew this female was the High Priest, but can the Tribe's High Priest marry? She is the boldest woman in the Tribe, and because she is the High Priest her words are also extremely reckless.

Hearing this, the Rongdi set down the bowl in their hand and laughed even more merrily.

"Haha, our High Priest also has a man she likes now. Li Xiang, our High Priest has spoken up; what does a man like you think?"

This ancient woman is very straightforward, especially Duo Luo; she is a High Priest with a divine office, so her words carry more weight than those of ordinary tribe members.

She dares to speak, and she dares to act!

The joyous celebration suddenly turned into a forced‑marriage scene, which left Nan Qinghuan a bit stunned; she also rose and looked at Li Xiang, "Senior brother…"

Are they trying to force senior brother to marry Duo Luo? No, he must like her first.

Then Duo Luo boldly took Li Xiang's hand; she smiled shyly. I had thought Li Xiang would push Duo Luo away, but unexpectedly… Li Xiang also took Duo Luo's hand and smiled at her; stars flickered in both of their eyes.

Isn't this the look of love? Nan Qinghuan was completely shocked.

When did senior brother and Duo Luo get together? Li Xiang's gaze finally turned to Nan Qinghuan and Ying, "Yes, Ying is right; I should be holding a wedding now. After this life‑and‑death ordeal with Duo Luo, I think I've found my true love. Junior sister, I will, just like you, settle down here, start a family, have children, and live a good life."

"Really?"

This made Nan Qinghuan extremely happy; she never expected Li Xiang to end up with Duo Luo. It seems there is a story after they were captured this time.

"That's wonderful; senior brother, congratulations. When you marry, Ying and I will definitely send gifts."

"Haha, maybe next year. After this Winter passes, we'll rebuild the Tribe's houses; with a house we can start a family. Duo Luo, are you willing to wait for me?"

Duo Luo never expected Li Xiang to agree so easily; tears of excitement welled up, and she nodded, "I do, I will wait for you. As long as you are willing to be with me, I will wait for you."

"Haha, Li Xiang, my High Priest has set her sights on you—she wants only you. You must treat her well."

"Leader, rest assured, I will treat her well, definitely."

That night, the Tribe's revelry lasted into the late hours without ending. The Rongdi, Ying, and Youchao Xuan were discussing how to build the road, as well as future trade matters.

Nan Qinghuan suggested opening a Market street to facilitate nearby Tribes' exchange of goods; once the road is open and there are vehicles, it will be even more convenient.

Thinking of this, all of their tribe members felt greater hope for the future.

What is the future? The future is about to arrive.

In the middle of the night, their meeting finally ended; Ying had Ashu find a place for them to rest, and they would return the next day.

Of course, Li Xiang had to make a Carriage the next day, so they had to wait until the Carriage was finished before returning.

At the fourth watch, Nan Qinghuan and Ying finally could go home; when they reached the Tulou gate, they saw a man in the distance.

In the candlelight, Li Xiang stood there holding a candle, simply watching them.

"Senior brother."

Nan Qinghuan and Ying hurried forward; Ying slightly frowned, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Li Xiang glanced at Nan Qinghuan, "I have a few words I want to say to Qinghuan. Ying, may I?"

These words left Nan Qinghuan a bit puzzled—what does senior brother want to say? Ying was silent for a moment; I had thought he would disagree, but unexpectedly he was agreeable.

He paused, "Qinghuan, you all wait for me a moment."

Then Ying quickly ran toward the Tulou; they didn't know what he was doing, but he soon returned, holding a Tiger Skin which he draped over Nan Qinghuan.

It's cool at night, be careful of the cold; you go ahead, I'll wait at home.

"Ah, Ying…"

What Nan Qinghuan didn't expect was that Ying would actually let them go out alone to chat.

This man has really changed a lot.

Li Xiang smiled after seeing Ying leave, "Junior sister, he really is good to you. At this moment I finally understand why you didn't want to return with me?"

Nan Qinghuan also realized that Ying was becoming increasingly considerate; when she first arrived, she thought he was a barbarian, and barbarians were incomprehensible.

Yet now he can even tolerate them talking together, and even brought a Tiger Skin for them to keep warm.

Thinking of this warmed her heart even more.

"Senior brother, he has changed his temper a lot; I believe he'll keep getting better. Did you call me for something?"

"Come with me."

After the two left, Ying remained standing by the Tulou, watching them; he didn't go inside to rest, just stood there.

Frosty dew was heavy.

Even the eyelashes were beaded with water.

Yet he just stood here waiting for her.

Waiting for her forever.

"Ying, are you really comfortable leaving Oum and Li Xiang alone together?"

The Dashan who came to patrol behind them saw everything; he truly thought Ying had changed a lot—compared to before, he was practically a different person.

Hearing Dashan's words, Ying turned his head and gave him a glance, "What's there to worry about? This is my territory, and Li Xiang now has Duo Luo; he won't bother Qinghuan anymore."

"Do you really believe Li Xiang will marry Duo Luo? Hasn't Li Xiang always liked Oum?"

"That was in the past; now it's different. It seems this time the Masai captured his tribe wasn't entirely a bad thing."

They even arranged Li Xiang and Duo Luo together, which is good for him; now that Li Xiang is married, he won't think of Qinghuan.

Yes, he's very reassured.

"You mean they are because…"

"Has the Light's son been found?"

When the topic came up, Dashan shook his head, a bit nervous, "No, we turned over the entire Tribe and still didn't find that kid. Ying, that kid won't bring any threat; rest assured."

"What do you know? That kid can control toxins; if he escapes he'll definitely try to take revenge on us. Be careful, you must find and kill him, understand?"
