Chapter 364: Concerns from a Novice Father

Asu was furious; now that they had become so powerful, the people of the You Su Tribe actually came to confront them.

Damn it!

They feared their witchcraft, but they thought that now, with Gunpowder and those Iron Knives, plus Rongdi's support, dealing with the You Su Tribe would not be that hard.

Youchao Xuan, appearing very calm, said, "Everyone, calm down a bit. Winter is coming; although our road is open, the You Su Tribe is far from us, and waging war is still not easy."

"Youchao Xuan, are you scared? What are you afraid of? We have everything now, so we're not afraid of them."

"Exactly, we're not afraid of them."

"Of course I'm not scared; it's just that we still have to build a One Street, right? Think about it—if we finish it, everyone will come to trade, and the You Su Tribe will be isolated by us, which is even better than wiping them out."

Youchao Xuan has always been a very calm man; his thinking is as comprehensive as Nan Qinghuan's, and he doesn't act impulsively.

Ashu, however, felt that this was bullying to the extreme and thought it wasn't right; they still needed to give them a lesson.

Even without fighting, we must let them know our Tribe is not to be trifled with.

The autumn wind whistled as Ying stood there, his hair fluttering; at that moment he was very silent.

He was thinking about something else, completely different from before.

Ashu, seeing his silence, found it odd and asked, "Ying, why aren't you speaking?"

After a moment of silence, Ying finally lifted his eyes to look at the two of them, then let out a deep sigh, "What you say is actually very reasonable, and I have taken it all in. However, I strongly agree with Youchao Xuan; now is not the time for war. The You Su tribe is some distance from us, and with Winter coming, war is not a good thing. They are doing this just to try to provoke me. Hmph, I'm no longer the Ying I used to be. They want to provoke me and trick me, which is impossible."

Those words made Ashu's face change; he never expected Ying to say something like that.

He really has changed.

But can he swallow this grievance? He felt he couldn't endure it!

"Ying, I can't stand this grievance; we must make them suffer a bit."

He didn't want to endure it, but Ying let out a wicked laugh; naturally, he wouldn't endure it.

"It's not that easy to deal with me. Since those who killed me won't settle it like this, Ashu, send a few people to prepare sulfur and throw it at the You Su Tribe; I want Ma Ji to know the consequences of angering me."

Ma Ji is the leader of the You Su Tribe; Ying had heard of his character—cunning, treacherous, and hard to deal with.

Those words made Ashu very pleased; this works!

"Fine, I'll arrange it right now."

Ashu took people to make the arrangements, and soon only Ying and Youchao Xuan remained here.

The autumn wind whistled as Youchao Xuan looked at Ying and truly thought he had changed a lot; before, he would never have been so calm.

It must be said, indeed the Goddess had changed this man; he remembered that when they first met him, his domineering selfishness made his interactions with the Goddess poor.

He never expected that the current Ying had grown into such a wise person.

It seems that in the future, the king of the Jiuzhou Dadi will be none other than him.

"Ying, you have really changed a lot; I can hardly believe this is you."

Ying's gaze was distant; his expression turned complex as he looked at Youchao Xuan. He wasn't worried about the You Su Tribe; he was concerned about Nan Qinghuan's childbirth.

"Youchao Xuan, our child is due next year; I hope you can agree to one thing."

Youchao Xuan, seeing his tension, seemed to guess something and asked, "Is it about the baby?"

He had heard it during his time with the wolf clan; that witch said Nan Qinghuan was carrying several children, and if so, it would indeed be a dangerous delivery that could kill.

In the tribe, a woman's difficult delivery often leads to death; his own tribe had experienced this before—no child was saved, and eventually even A Mu died. Such tragedies were too many, so Ying's concern was justified.

But how could he guarantee it?

He recalled Nan Qinghuan's last words; she said that if she had a difficult delivery in the future, he should try using a C-Section on her.

This made Youchao Xuan very worried.

"Is it appropriate for a man to deliver the Goddess? 'Ying, I…'"

"You must now learn better medical skills to help Qinghuan give birth, Youchao Xuan, I give you time, but you must promise me: Axi is already pregnant, and when Qinghuan gives birth her belly will also be large, so we can only rely on you. This tribe no longer has a female doctor; this time consider it my plea."

Suddenly, Ying actually wanted to kneel; how could Youchao Xuan bear that?

"Don't do that. You stand up, and I will answer you; I will use my life to promise you. Youchao Xuan will definitely do everything to protect the Goddess and the child."

Needless to say, Ying's thoughts were truly thorough; he was no longer afraid that Youchao Xuan was a man. As long as he could save Nan Qinghuan and the baby, it didn't matter whether a man or woman performed the delivery.

Hearing Youchao Xuan's words, Ying seemed satisfied.

"Alright, I believe you can definitely do it. It's getting late; let's go back and rest."

Youchao Xuan turned to leave, but suddenly saw Nan Qinghuan standing behind him.

In the bright candlelight, she stood there waiting for them.

"Ying"

"Qinghuan"

Suddenly turning his head, the person was right at the dimly lit edge of the lanterns.

Youchao Xuan, seeing how good the couple's relationship was, felt very envious, not knowing why; now seeing ChaoJi married, it seemed everyone had a family except him.

He too longed for a family.

A home with a woman, with steaming hot meals waiting for him.

But could he have such happiness? "Goddess, I will leave first."

Youchao Xuan finished speaking and turned to leave; Nan Qinghuan watched him, feeling very distressed for the lone figure. This kid had, since following her back, helped him so much.

Now everyone has a family, except him.

Ying seemed to see through her thoughts, "Youchao Xuan doesn't like other women, and I don't want to force him. If you have time, persuade him; if he wants to start a family, whoever he likes, I'll support him and arrange the wedding."

Ying was still very satisfied with Youchao Xuan; if it weren't for him, his tribe wouldn't have such good days.

Therefore, from his heart he was very grateful to him.

Nan Qinghuan rested her head on Ying's shoulder, leaning against him, as fallen leaves fluttered down onto the two of them.

Ying, a bit worried about her being cold, asked, "Why did you come? Weren't you supposed to go home first?"

I missed you, I'm here waiting for you.

A few light words were spoken gently; under the night, in Nan Qinghuan's eyes there were stars and a sea, Ying felt many emotions stir in his heart, and he reached out to gently embrace her.

Qinghuan, I love you, I really love you.

His eyes were full of deep affection, a feeling he had never had before; watching her belly swell day by day, he was both excited hoping the child would emerge, yet also feared it would cause him unbearable pain.

Li Xiang said it correctly: there will be no more births.

No more births.

Nan Qinghuan felt he looked a bit odd, quickly lifted her head to meet his gaze; from her angle she could only see his gaunt chin, and faintly a few strands of beard had grown.

What's wrong with you? Did something happen in the Tribe?
