Chapter 346: Ying

She really didn't expect that it wasn't agreed to do it together in the morning? She didn't expect they would all be ready? Youchao Xuan lifted his eyes, looked at her, and smiled, "Goddess, you're pregnant now and sleepy; Li Xiang and I thought we'd go ahead and make it, and once you get up it'll be finished. I didn't expect this carriage to look better than your drawing—really nice. With this, we won't fear getting rained on when we go out on rainy days."

"Yes, Qinghuan, we're almost done. I thought we couldn't do it in this ancient place, but I didn't expect this forest to be full of treasures. Once we finish the carriage roof we can try it."

The carriage roof is still empty and needs a board to be fastened, but… "Senior brother, how do we solve the waterproofing problem?"

"I thought we could use grain straw."

"Grain straw?"

"Exactly. Given the current conditions, building grain straw on this can keep out rain, so a carriage can last an extra year or two."

I have to say Li Xiang really has excellent hands‑on ability; he managed to build the carriage together with Youchao Xuan, and soon the tribe members were gathering around. So this is what a carriage looks like.

But how to make it move? That's the question!

"Li Xiang, is this a carriage?"

The Rongdi behind them also came to see the novelty; Li Xiang hurriedly crawled out from the wheel, "Chief, what do you think?"

It was the Rongdi's first time seeing a carriage, but he thought this thing couldn't move.

"Where's my Flying Beast? It's comfortable?"

"Of course there is. Later you can try it, Duo Luo, you try too."

When Duo Luo saw how capable Li Xiang was, she naturally liked him even more, her admiring eyes sparkling like stars.

"Sure, as long as you made it I'll like it."

Nan Qinghuan, seeing the two truly in love, was of course happy for Li Xiang, but… "This is troublesome; I only talked about making a carriage, but our tribe has no horses. I know there are wild horses out there, but we'd have to tame them first."

Li Xiang had thought of that too, "It's fine; I heard Ying is great at training beasts. Where is he? Why haven't we seen him?"

This made the tribe members all puzzled. "Yes, why haven't we seen Ying?" "A Mu, where did Ying go?"

A Mu also didn't know where Ying went and shook her head, "Qinghuan, you were out late last night—you don't know either?"

Nan Qinghuan felt a bit embarrassed, "A Mu, what are you saying? He never mentioned he'd go out early."

"Ashu isn't in the tribe either; it's strange where Ying went?"

"Axi, where's Dashan?"

"He's sleeping."

"Go, wake him up."

Soon, the sleeping Dashan was roused by Axi, and when he saw the carriage he was so stunned that he remained dazed for a long time.

"What is this thing?"

"Don't ask that; I'm asking you, do you know where Ying went?"

"Ying, not at home?"

Nan Qinghuan rolled her eyes, "At home I ask you what you're doing; Ashu isn't here either—do you know where they went?"

Logically, that shouldn't be the case.

The Rongdi suddenly thought of something, "Could he have gone after Light's son?"

When that was said, Nan Qinghuan didn't understand, so she hurried over to the Rongdi and looked at him; the Rongdi now had far less hostility and didn't look as fierce as before.

However, Nan Qinghuan has never been afraid of him.

"Light's son, who?"

The Rongdi, knowing she was worried about Ying, thought for a moment before answering, "Yesterday when we wiped out the Mase tribe, a man fled. That man was Light's son; I heard the kid is good at poisoning. We destroyed his tribe, so he'll surely come back for revenge. Could Ying have gone after him?"

"What?"

"Ah, how can this be? A single drop of the Masai's poison kills. Qinghuan, what should we do?"

A Mu, hearing that her son went out to capture someone, and that the target was the Masai clan leader's son, became very worried that Ying might get into trouble.

In that instant, the joy of finishing the carriage was washed away.

The Rongdi naturally didn't want Nan Qinghuan to worry, "Dashan, Ying really never said where he was going?"

Dashan felt wronged, "Last night Ying asked me if there was any news about Light's son; the people he sent didn't find anything. Maybe Ashu found them and went."

"What should we do about this?"

Nan Qinghuan still had confidence in Ying, "A Mu, don't worry; this forest is Ying's. He'll be back soon, rest assured."

"Yes, A Mu, this is our territory; nothing will happen, don't worry."

"Shall I go with people to look for him?"

When the Rongdi said that, Nan Qinghuan was about to speak, when suddenly a lone wolf rushed over and whispered a few hurried words into the Rongdi's ear.

"What, this damned woman"

Leaving that remark, the Rongdi said, "We have matters within the tribe and must return first. Qinghuan, if Ying still hasn't returned tomorrow, have someone inform me and I'll send people to search together."

"It's fine, you go back first. Senior brother, you all go back; I believe he'll return."

Here, the Rongdi had some tribal matters and had to return, so Li Xiang could only leave the carriage here. A carriage needs horses to become a carriage; the Rongdi are Beastmen, not good at riding or capturing horses, so they must wait for Ying to return before this carriage can run.

At the tribe's gate, Li Xiang was still worried about Nan Qinghuan, "Junior sister, if he still hasn't returned tomorrow, have someone notify us; we'll definitely help you look."

"Thank you, senior brother, take care."

After Li Xiang and the others left, A Mu paced back and forth, very worried, "Oh dear, where did he actually go, and when did he leave?"

"A Mu, don't worry. What kind of person is Ying? This place is all his; he knows this forest better than anyone. It'll be fine."

"But those Masai…"

"He's back."

Inside the forest, Ashu led a group of people rushing here, but Ying was the only one missing.

"Ashu"

Ashu and his group were all injured and looked a bit disheveled; Nan Qinghuan hurried forward to ask, "Ashu, where's Ying?"

Ashu suddenly collapsed, which made Nan Qinghuan very worried, "Someone, carry him inside; what exactly happened?"

"We encountered a monster; that monster is poisonous."

Asu and the others were all attacked by the monster; Nan Qinghuan hurriedly had Youchao Xuan and Axi take them to get treated, while she stayed here to listen to Asu recount what they encountered last night.

At noon the sun was scorching.

When Asu finished telling Nan Qinghuan the whole sequence of events, Nan Qinghuan's face turned ashen, "You said the poison‑spitting saliva hurt you, and Ying disappeared?"

How could that be? Asu, knowing the Goddess would be very upset, said, "Ying went to catch the monster; we searched for a long time but didn't find him. Ashu said we still need to go back and call for help, and Ji Lei hasn't returned either."

"What, Ji Lei also got into trouble?" Ayina, who had run up from behind, was crying anxiously, reached out and grabbed Asu's collar, almost lifting him up, and said, "Say again—what happened to my man?"
