Chapter 362: I Promise You That Qinghuan Will Only Give Birth to This One Child

That question was really well asked, Ying and Rongdi exchanged a glance, and both seemed reluctant to bring up the You Su Tribe.

Because that You Su Tribe is a very troublesome tribe.

Ying didn't want Nan Qinghuan to know these unpleasant things, he just smiled, "It's nothing, it's getting late, we should go back; A Mu should be anxious too."

Ying prepared to take Nan Qinghuan back, and Nan Qinghuan, seeing he didn't want to speak, naturally didn't ask much either, so she nodded, "Alright, let's go home."

"Goddess, return."

Youchao Xuan also seemed to know about the You Su Tribe; he also thought the Goddess shouldn't know these matters. She now only needs to nurture the fetus properly, and the rest can be left to them.

Nan Qinghuan realized these men didn't want her involved in these affairs, so after saying goodbye to Li Xiang she boarded the carriage first; Li Xiang's mouth twitched as if to speak, but he swallowed the words.

He knew that Qinghuan's child might be in danger.

If they were multiples, what should be done? In this primitive tribe, giving birth is scarier than passing through the underworld; at that time… he couldn't imagine.

After Nan Qinghuan got onto the carriage, Axi also went up to tend to her; the men and Duo Luo stood in the Forest, while Ying and Rongdi went into a nearby thicket, the two men seeming to have some secret to discuss.

Inside the Forest, the autumn wind whistled.

No one else is here; Rongdi's big foot stepped on a dead branch before halting, "Say whatever you have, no one's here."

Ying's gaze deeply met Rongdi's, and after a moment he murmured, "People from the You Su Tribe have surely set their sights on us; you need to be more careful. If at any time you can light these weeds to signal me, I'll come to help when I receive the signal."

Ying had come to regard Rongdi as a brother, so he naturally worried about his well‑being; he didn't want anything to happen to Rongdi's tribe.

These words left Rongdi astonished, and even more, moved.

He and Ying had gone through so many things—enemies, standoffs, battles, hatred—and in the end they could actually coexist peacefully, and Ying even thought of his own welfare; at this thought his heart was immensely satisfied.

He truly hadn't expected Ying to say such words; honestly, he was quite moved, but now he didn't care about the You Su Tribe.

"I really didn't expect that after we wiped out the Masai people, they would have connections with the You Su people, but rest assured, I'll be careful with your warning; this road building is a big deal for me, I'll handle it properly, my relationship with Yao will gradually improve, Ying, whether you believe it or not, I must thank you."

Rongdi had never said such things to Ying before; they had always been opposed, but since the Bolan Festival their relationship changed.

Now Ying even matches him with Yao for harmonious coexistence, and he suddenly feels that having no enemies feels truly good.

There is no plundering or scheming, nor any fighting.

A gust of wind blows, making the leaves rustle.

Ying saw him thank him and gave a bitter smile, "For the sake of our people, there's nothing we can do; Qinghuan is right, peace is the only way to progress. The Masai issue is over; everyone be careful. I'll be waiting for your main road to be completed."

Ying didn't say much; these words counted as his advice to Rongdi. Rongdi's mouth twitched as if to speak, but he swallowed the words.

He just watched his back, softly saying a line in his heart.

Thank you.

Thank you!

When Ying turned to leave, Li Xiang and Duo Luo also came over; Li Xiang and Ying exchanged a glance, and Li Xiang finally said the sentence he had wanted to say.

"Ying, they say Qinghuan is carrying several children; I'm worried she'll be in danger. If the child can be delivered safely, I hope you won't let her have more children; it's too risky."

Li Xiang knew Ying didn't like hearing this, but he had to say it.

Sure enough, the words made Ying's expression grim; he didn't understand why having more children would endanger Qinghuan. "What do you mean?"

"You should understand my meaning; women here sometimes die in childbirth. I don't want Qinghuan to suffer the same, so I want you to promise that she'll only bear this one time."

"Li Xiang, how can you make such a request of Ying?"

Rongdi thought Li Xiang shouldn't say that, because the men of this tribe like having many children; Ying wouldn't agree!

"Indeed, Li Xiang, you can't make such a demand."

Duo Luo also felt Li Xiang's request was excessive, as he had no right to say so.

Li Xiang knew his request was overstepping, and he was meddling a bit, but he had to remind Ying.

He understood that in this ancient life, without good medical conditions, having many children is a huge risk, so he wanted Ying to agree; that way Qinghuan wouldn't be as dangerous.

He didn't want to see Qinghuan die because of childbirth.

If Qinghuan dies, what's the point of him staying here? So even if Ying is displeased, he must make it clear.

He originally thought Ying would get angry; Ying dislikes anyone telling him what to do or not do, being used to going solo.

He also likes making decisions alone.

Rongdi also thought Ying would be angry, so he hurried forward to comfort him, "Ying, Li Xiang is just like that; don't be angry."

"No, I'm not angry. Li Xiang is right; Qinghuan's health is poor, one child is enough. I won't let her bear another. Li Xiang, I promise you; you can't face losing her, and I feel the same."

These words moved Li Xiang deeply; he never expected Ying would agree to this.

This made him even more satisfied with Ying.

"Ying, I now understand why Qinghuan can only be with you; you truly treat her well."

"In my heart, no one can compare to her; she is more important than my own life. I accept what you say, regardless of whether this child is a boy or a girl, I won't let her suffer again."

Having said that, Ying turned and left; at that moment Li Xiang suddenly felt his love was indeed narrow, and now he admired Ying even more.

His gaze followed Ying's retreating silhouette; Ying's tall, imposing figure seemed reliable at a glance.

Qinghuan's gaze is truly sharp.

At this moment he finally admitted he truly wasn't as good as this rugged man.

Duo Luo, seeing Ying leave, also breathed a sigh of relief, "Ying has really changed a lot; before he wouldn't listen to you. Li Xiang, he would have killed you outright."

Yes, Duo Luo is still sweating, but Li Xiang isn't afraid Ying will kill him. He looked at Duo Luo then at Rongdi, "Chief, since the land‑grant issue is settled, let's return to prepare road building. I think winter is coming here; we must finish before the Snow arrives. Next year, this place will be filled with Mercedes carriages."

Li Xiang was diligently sketching his and Nan Qinghuan's dream, which of course was also Rongdi's dream.

When they were about to leave, a lone wolf hurried from not far away, looking very urgent.

"Chief, members of the tribe are fighting."

Upon hearing that tribe members were fighting, Rongdi became furious, "Who dares to fight within the tribe and not want to live?"
