Chapter 350: The Couple Returns Home Together

Seeing everyone looking so curious, Nan Qinghuan didn't mind giving a quick science lesson.

When she saw that Ying was safe, she felt relieved, quickly crouched down and poured the few remaining drops of Sulfuric Acid from the bottle onto the ground; that pour was something serious.

Instantly, as the Sulfuric Acid fell, the green grass that had been there withered immediately.

And it even rotted.

The scene left the tribe members present shocked; Dazui Ba opened his mouth in amazement, and Ji Lei blinked, "This…"

The onlookers were truly astonished; Ayina was so frightened that she stood up and dared not approach.

What kind of ghostly thing is this? It's terrifying! Even the little grass turned like this; the grass withered instantly because of it.

Ji Lei, frightened, said, "Oh my, this water is too powerful; if it were applied to a person, that would be…"

It would kill them a gruesome death.

Nan Qinghuan nodded, "Exactly, if poured on a person, the flesh and skin would be burned away."

After saying that, she looked at Ying, "Ying, have we found that Mase tribe person?"

They only saw the toxins but not the person; does that mean Ying killed him? Yet no corpse was seen. In the end, this person is behind it, so we must find a way to resolve the matter.

Ying, also startled by the power of this thing, was silent for a moment before reaching out to take her hand, "He ran away, but it's fine; his toxins have been neutralized, he'll show up sooner or later. All right, night is falling; let's go back."

Hearing that the person fled, Ji Lei grew a bit worried, "Ying, what if he returns to cause trouble?"

Ying squinted slightly, scanning the surroundings, "No fear; his daring to come gives us a chance to kill him. This man, if not eliminated, is a scourge. Let's leave first."

Ying hadn't expected her to come looking for him, which made him quite worried.

"Qinghuan, you must not go on adventures anymore, understand?"

Ying felt uneasy, while Nan Qinghuan thought the trip was worthwhile, and the tools she brought were good.

At least we can see Ying, knowing he is safe.

"Alright, let's go back."

After the few left, the jungle gradually grew pitch black, and a cold wind swept in, bringing an eerie aura.

After they departed, movement stirred within the grass.

A man with bare feet and only his upper body emerged from the thicket; his wild hair was like a madman's, and his entire face was covered in fresh blood.

"Woo…"

When he saw his pet had been killed, the man lifted the pet; its flesh rotted, looking very ferocious.

His eyes were full of hatred, and the hatred made him extremely irritable.

A low, intermittent sobbing came from the forest, then fell silent with no further news.

When Ying and the others returned to the tribe's gate, A Mu was the first to see her son return and went wild with joy.

"Ying, you're back! You're back! A Mu was so worried."

A Mu feared her son might be dead, and also feared Qinghuan had trouble; she hadn't eaten properly all day.

She grabbed Ying tightly, tears streaming down.

"Ying, I thought you wouldn't return."

"A Mu, I'm fine."

Hearing that he was fine, A Mu was somewhat relieved, lifted her head to look at her son and then at Qinghuan.

"Good, it's fine that you're back, it's fine that you're back; did that person die?"

Whether that person died is what A Mu and the tribe want to know.

Nan Qinghuan quickly comforted A Mu, "A Mu, it's fine; this matter has been resolved. Don't worry, nothing will happen to our tribe."

Hearing this, A Mu remained worried; after all, the Masai wield toxins, which is truly terrifying.

"Alright, A Mu, it's fine; everyone should go back and cook."

Ying was about to pull Nan Qinghuan back when a frantic voice came from not far away.

"Qinghuan, Ying, have you returned?"

They turned and saw… wasn't that Li Xiang? "Senior brother, why did you come?"

Nan Qinghuan hadn't expected Li Xiang to arrive, which puzzled her; Li Xiang had rushed over to check the situation, and upon seeing them return, he finally relaxed.

"I heard you went looking for Ying; I was worried, so I came to check. Glad you're all back."

Ying wasn't jealous at all, and even felt a bit guilty.

"Don't worry, I won't make Qinghuan worry again."

Under the candlelight, the two men locked eyes; Ying and Li Xiang, once enemies, were now friends.

Li Xiang smiled, "It's nothing; I knew you'd return. Since you're back, I'm relieved. Did you catch that wild man?"

Li Xiang's words made Ying's expression darken; he shook his head, "No, he ran away."

"So it was as expected?"

As soon as that was said, Nan Qinghuan and Ying exchanged glances; Nan Qinghuan frowned, "Senior brother, what's really going on?"

Li Xiang, somewhat worried, inhaled a deep breath of cool air, "The Masai's vengeful mindset is truly frightening; he went to the Rongdi Tribe and tossed that dead toad into the water source, and now half the tribe are falling ill."

"What?"

Hearing that, Nan Qinghuan and Ying exchanged glances; Ying hurriedly asked, "Is it serious?"

If it were the past, he'd certainly be glad; any incident in the Rongdi Tribe would please him, but now it's different.

They are allies, so he also worries.

Li Xiang shook his head, "It's somewhat serious; I thought drinking a bit of Lime water would ease their stomachs, but it didn't work. The corpse's corpse toxin is potent; I'm still looking for a solution."

"Senior brother, how about I give it a try?"

Those words made Ying a bit reluctant; her going? Li Xiang glanced at her belly, "No need, you're pregnant now and shouldn't be running around; think of a way to handle tribe matters."

Nan Qinghuan thought for a moment and came up with a good idea.

Saving people is urgent, so let Axi and Youchao Xuan go take a look; they also learned medicine from me, so it should be fine.

Is that okay?

He was asking Ying if it was okay. Ying nodded, "Of course, since we are allies we naturally have to help each other. I'll let them go with you."

Thus, even though it was night, Youchao Xuan and Axi were still called out and went with Li Xiang to the Rongdi Tribe to treat the sick.

After seeing them off, Ying finally hugged her tightly and said, "Come, let's go home."

The tribe, seeing that nothing was wrong, all went back to cook; Uncle was already much better, and after Nan Qinghuan and Ying visited him they returned home.

When they got home, Mother had already prepared the food.

Tonight's meal was fresh fruit and mutton soup.

The fruit was freshly picked, and the soup Mother simmered was very fragrant.

Nan Qinghuan also felt hungry; fortunately this time they went and returned without incident, but she was still a bit worried that they hadn't caught that person.

After dinner they were supposed to rest, but Nan Qinghuan just couldn't fall asleep.

At night, the tribe was very quiet.

Inside the Tulou, the lights shone brightly.

Under the swaying tree shadows, Ying's little home was as warm as ever.

He was crouching by the fire, heating water for Nan Qinghuan to wash her feet; now it was late autumn and the weather was a bit chilly, and he hoped Nan Qinghuan could have a warm Winter.

So he considered her in everything he did.

Adding firewood and heating water, he did everything himself; after he poured the hot water into a wooden bucket, he called out into the house, "Qinghuan, get ready, it's time to wash your feet."
