Chapter 351: Capturing the Masai

In the room, Nan Qinghuan had already taken off her Shoes and was sitting there waiting; after Ying brought the wooden basin, she slipped her feet into it, and the steaming hot water chased away the day's fatigue.

It was extremely comfortable.

Ying squatted there, washing earnestly, and A Mu let out a cry, pushed open the wooden door and stepped out; seeing Ying washing Nan Qinghuan's feet, she was truly envious.

"Qinghuan, Ying isn't this good to anyone else; you are truly fortunate!"

"Even I, A Mu, never got treated this well."

The words made Nan Qinghuan a little embarrassed; she just gave a shy smile. She didn't regret seeking out Ying; if anything happened to Ying, she never imagined she would want to live.

Thinking of that, she reached out and gently stroked Ying's head; his hair was now lice‑free and very clean. He had gotten used to washing his hair every two or three days, and the man had completely shed his wild‑man image.

He was slowly becoming a civilized person.

"Yes, A Mu, I'm very happy. Having Ying treat me so well makes me truly content. We'll stay happy forever, I promise."

Ying, hearing this, immediately stopped washing her feet, lifted his head, his eyes sparkling as he looked at her, "Silly, you're my Om, so of course I must treat you well. Come, wipe them clean."

After wiping her feet clean, he carefully lifted her onto the bed and covered her with a silk quilt, "Sleep now, you've had a long day too."

Ying's kindness moved her deeply; she wanted to whisper something to him.

"Ying, I…"

"What's wrong?"

A Mu felt embarrassed being there, and after seeing the young couple about to speak, she hurriedly stepped out. After A Mu left, Nan Qinghuan didn't say much, just rested her head lightly against him, "I want to just lean on you like this. Do you know, when I learned you hadn't returned, I went crazy, I was so anxious?"

Ying sat quietly there, listening, hearing everything she wanted to say.

He reached out and gently patted her back, trying to ease her tension, "Silly, of course I will treat you well. Rest assured, I'm the king of this jungle; no one can defeat me. I'll return safely, trust me."

He hadn't expected Nan Qinghuan to be so insecure, and kept comforting her, "It's okay, it's fine."

Because of Ying's reassurance, Nan Qinghuan felt much better. She had never been so clingy; perhaps she was pregnant and worried about his safety, which made her feel so insecure.

"From now on, wherever you go, tell me, okay?"

Ying realized she was blaming him for not informing her; of course he didn't want to tell her, lest she worry even more.

In his view, dealing with a Masai required hardly any men; he could kill one just the same.

He was about to say something when Ashu's hurried voice came from outside.

"Ying"

Outside, A Mu also called out, "Ying, Ashu is here."

When Ying went out, Ashu saw him fine and was overjoyed, "Ying, you're okay, right? You scared us to death; I thought you…"

"What can a Masai do to me? Are you feeling better?"

"I'm better. That person has news."

"What?"

He heard there was news, and Ying fell silent for a moment, "I'll tell Qinghuan; you go prepare. Tonight we must catch him."

Here, Ying was preparing to deal with the Masai, while over there Li Xiang led Youchao Xuan and his party hastily toward the Rongdi Tribe; the journey was extremely safe.

Since the Masai had been wiped out, this road was Ying's territory, so travel was very safe.

When they arrived at the Rongdi Tribe, dawn was breaking.

It was Axi's first time coming to the Rongdi Tribe; she was still a bit scared, looking around, "Youchao Xuan, are we really going to treat them?"

Youchao Xuan smiled at her frightened expression, "Silly girl, of course. Don't be afraid, it's fine; now that we're allies, we should help each other."

At the tribe's entrance, Duo Luo had been waiting for Li Xiang from afar; seeing Li Xiang arrive, Nan Qinghuan, who hadn't come, felt a bit disappointed.

"Where's Nan Qinghuan? Why didn't she come?"

Only Nan Qinghuan can treat these tribe members.

Now the situation within the tribe is even more serious; the Medical Woman is of little use, and Duo Luo is very worried.

"Qinghuan is pregnant and can't go; these two are her disciples and can also treat the sick."

"Indeed, DuoLuo Grand Priest, we can as well. Where are the patients?"

"Come with me; it's getting worse now."

It was Axi's first time at the Rongdi Tribe; indeed the Rongdi Tribe resembled their former tribe, only they lived in Treehouses whereas they used to dwell in Caves.

Here there were also Farmland and manor houses; it was clear Li Xiang's arrival had brought great change.

Just like the old Qinghuan.

At the third watch, the Ying Tribe was very quiet; in the night, a sneaky man tiptoed to the riverbank, seeming to be preparing some mischief.

The river water flowed very slowly; he knew people came here to draw water.

The man took something from a wooden bucket and poured it into the river, a strange grin curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Poison you to death"

He was thrilled; he would finally avenge his father and tribe.

After the Ying Tribe members were poisoned, he could take his revenge.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, suddenly his back was covered with people.

"You…"

"We've been waiting for you a long time."

With a boom, the torches flared up; when they saw Ying at the front, a cold glint flashed in the wild man's eyes.

"Ying"

Ying stood before the group, a great sword in his hand, marching toward the man; in the night he resembled a death‑seeking Asura.

Waiting to take his life!

"We've waited for you a long time. You poisoned the Rongdi Tribe and now come to me—how bold!"

"You Masai, how bold! Your father captured our guest and wanted to eat him. We wiped out your tribe, which was deserved. Now you poison here to kill the tribe members. Ying, let me kill him."

Ashu, having been wronged by this man and seeking revenge, picked up a Spear to act, but Ying waved his hand and said, "No need, let me handle it myself."

He wants to kill this man with his own hands!

The Masai, knowing he could not escape, had a wildly frantic look in his eyes; he bared his teeth and snarled at Ying as if he wanted to devour him alive, even if it meant death he would fight desperately.

"Ying, you destroyed my people; I will kill you."

In an instant, the man seized a bamboo stick and rushed toward Ying, crashing headlong, aiming to perish together with him.

Ying wasn't afraid of him; the two began fighting on the riverbank, and this Ancient People fought mainly by brute force—"you hit me, I hit you".

It was all brute force with no technique, each relying on stamina to win.

The Masai had decent stamina, but Ying was tall and robust, and soon he fell at a disadvantage.

Ying seized the opportunity and kicked the Masai with a single foot; the Masai let out a ferocious, wailing roar and rolled into the river. He still tried to run, but Ashu, leading his men, rushed into the river and grabbed him.

"Thinking of running? It's not that easy; seize him."
