Chapter 365: There Is No Such Thing as Witchcraft in This World
She is not stupid; she knows Ashu would not come looking for Ying without reason, and Ying doesn't want her to worry about too many things, so he simply reaches out, gently pats her little head, presses her head lightly against his chest for her to lean on, and says, "It's fine, it's just about preparing to build the market street—you said you wanted to build the market street, didn't you?"
Nan Qinghuan was delighted by this, even though she knew Ying certainly hadn't told the truth, but she decided not to pursue certain matters; whatever Ying doesn't want her to know, she doesn't want to know.
"Mm, when will construction start?"
Ying saw the expectation in her eyes, reached out and pinched her little nose, and said, "Tomorrow, tomorrow we'll start, Qinghuan, winter is coming, we need to prepare food for the winter."
"No problem, leave it to me; I'll definitely see this through."
"No need, just focus on nurturing the fetus; the street matters still need your help, I don't understand what a market street is."
"What is a market street?" Nan Qinghuan described the explanation she saw with happiness.
"The market street, ah, is…"
She glanced at Ying, then looked around at no one, silently chanted in her heart, and instantly the Plane Mall appeared before them.
"Ying, let's go, into the mall."
After the two entered, the person hiding in the darkness suddenly stepped out, looked at the spot where they had vanished, and his mouth gaped huge in fright.
"Demon! So the people of the Ying Tribe are demons!"
The man was about to run out of the tribe to report to his leader when a group suddenly surrounded him.
"Hoo Hoo Hoo"
Ashu and the others immediately used torches to encircle the man; the man wore a skirt made of grass, and even in deep winter he wore a thin grass garment, his disheveled hair making him look very ragged.
"Hmph, had we known you trespassed into the tribe, we would have had someone seize you."
The man tried to run, but Ashu, unhurried, took a bow and arrow and immediately shot at the man's leg.
In an instant the man let out a wail and fell to the ground.
"Aiyo"
"Grab him"
Asu stepped forward, grabbed the man's neck and lifted him; the man's leg, struck by the arrow, bled profusely, the bright red blood spilling onto the ground in a shocking sight.
"He is a You Su Tribe person, has a totem."
Asu found a snake painted on the man's arm, an imprint that looked extremely realistic.
Ashu sneered, "Tie him up; a You Su Tribe member just killed Adong, we haven't avenged yet and you still dare to come here. Tonight we'll make you die a terrible death, so your leader knows what happens when you anger our Ying Tribe."
The man, hearing this, let out a cold snort, "You are really fools. Your leader is a demon, a devil. I just saw them vanish suddenly; so your tribe's leader is a demon, no wonder you're like this now."
"Nonsense! How could Ying and the Goddess be demons? You are the biggest demons, using Witch Gu Art to harm people."
Ashu didn't believe the man's nonsense; the man, seeing he was about to be bound, kept struggling, but despite his great strength he couldn't break free.
Soon he was tightly bound with thick ropes.
Yet he kept saying Ying and they are demons, which confused some tribe members: "Ashu, this man keeps babbling and it's harmful to Ying."
Ashu, a ruthless man, said, "Keep babbling and I'll cut off your tongue."
"Even if you cut my tongue, you're still demons. The Ying Tribe leader on Jiuzhou Dadi and his female are demons; they just vanished. What else but demons? You always say our Witch Gu Art is hidden, so what are you?"
This made Ashu and the others exchange glances, "You say Ying suddenly disappeared?"
"Exactly, he and that female vanished; what else but demons? Everything your Ying Tribe brings is brought by the witch woman."
"Ashu, this man dares to say the Goddess is a witch woman?"
Asu slapped the man, knocking out two of his teeth; Ashu waved his hand, "Take him to the Sacrificial Altar, I'll go find Ying."
"Even if you kill me, the market street you want to build won't be completed; you killed the Mase tribe leader, they won't let you get away."
"Is that so? Who gave you the nerve to say that?"
Suddenly, Ying and Nan Qinghuan, having appeared behind them, stepped forward; seeing the couple, Ashu hurried forward, "Ying, we captured a You Su Tribe person; he just blurted that you are demons."
Ying's expression turned sour; he knew he and Nan Qinghuan had been seen at the mall, and the mention of demons on Jiuzhou Dadi terrified the tribe.
Did this man think they were demons? Since he saw them, he won't let him leave alive.
He glanced at Nan Qinghuan, originally intending to avoid her to kill, but Nan Qinghuan seemed to see through his thoughts; this You Su Tribe man suddenly came here and said their market street couldn't be built.
How did he know they couldn't finish? She must ask properly.
"Ying, don't rush to kill him; I want to ask how he knows we're building a main street, and why he says we can't finish."
Ying nodded, then strode to the man, roughly grabbed him and lifted him; the man, being lifted, became even more frightened.
He had long known that the Ying Tribe's strength is like that of a bull; now he truly realized it.
"Let go of me."
"Answer Qinghuan: how did you know we can't finish?"
The man, hearing this, was very smug, glanced at Nan Qinghuan, "Our leader placed Witch Gu Art here, so he naturally knows; therefore you can't succeed."
"Witch Gu Art?"
Nan Qinghuan was speechless; she still believed this Witch Gu Art, and if it truly existed, the You Su Tribe could dominate Jiuzhou.
Is it even necessary to have people sneak here to eavesdrop, only to be caught and keep babbling?
The man, thinking she was scared, smirked, "Indeed, our Witch Gu Art is powerful; we've already placed Witch Gu Art here, you can't accomplish anything. Ying, this is the price you pay for wiping out the Masai."
"I think you're courting death."
Suddenly Ying violently swung the man's body, and the man rolled on the ground, letting out a howl, and blood spurted from his mouth.
"Ying, they really placed Witch Gu Art; what do we do?"
Ashu was worried; the tribe members, including Ashu, deeply believed in these so‑called Witch Gu Art.
If this man truly placed it, would they be unlucky!
Ying was also worried about the Witch Gu Art; he was silent for a moment, about to speak, when Nan Qinghuan coldly said, "Witch Gu Art, you all shouldn't believe him. If Witch Gu Art truly exists, how could you still be captured? Show me your Witch Gu Art now."
"You…"
