Chapter 369: The First Ancient Marketplace Appears

Youchao Xuan's happiness, Nan Qinghuan cares about, and Ying naturally cares as well.

"This…"

Youchao Xuan's expression was a bit awkward; he stared deeply at Nan Qinghuan, about to speak, when A Tu's mother hurried over from not far away, "Youchao Xuan, A Tu seems to have a fever; you go quickly and check with me?"

Hearing that A Tu had a fever, Nan Qinghuan was still quite concerned, "What happened?"

"It's just a fever, probably got chilled while playing in the water, Ou Mu, Ying."

Youchao Xuan was just waiting for this chance to leave, he didn't want them to keep questioning him about it; he can't find the person he likes, so he won't get married.

"Then I'll go check first, let's go, hurry."

Nan Qinghuan saw Youchao Xuan run away as if fleeing a disaster; she suddenly understood that although Youchao Xuan is an Ancient Person, his thinking differs from these people.

He is very progressive; when he looks for a wife he wants someone he likes and who shares his ideals, but she also discovered that these ancient women are all simple and lack the kind of person he seeks.

It's difficult.

After seeing Youchao Xuan leave in a hurry, Ying also seemed to understand.

He looked at Nan Qinghuan with a complicated expression, finally sighing deeply, "Qinghuan, Youchao Xuan won't get married."

"What?"

Nan Qinghuan lifted her head to look at Ying; under the sunlight, the man's face flickered with light and shadow.

"Ying?"

In Ying's eyes was crystal‑clear depth; he seemed to have been baptized, becoming a truly upright man.

He reached out and gently grasped Nan Qinghuan's hand, "Silly Qinghuan, can't you see that Youchao Xuan has always liked you?"

"What?"

Nan Qinghuan was completely stunned, looking at him in amazement, "Like me?"

No, right? "You didn't know, I could see it; the only person he wants to marry is you. Unfortunately you're already with me, so he can't find anyone. I won't force him later; he'll do whatever he wants. The tribe's present standing is thanks to Youchao Xuan's indispensable effort."

These words made Nan Qinghuan fully feel that Ying had truly changed.

He could even openly admit that Youchao Xuan liked her; if it had been before, he would have been so jealous that he would have driven Youchao Xuan away.

It was truly unbelievable.

It was something he never even imagined.

"Ying, what did you just say?"

Ying understood what she meant; he led Nan Qinghuan to the autumn harvest ridge, where many tribe members were harvesting; the heavy frost and dew meant their busy farming season was about to end.

When this street is finished, winter will be upon them.

Ying sighed deeply, lowered his gaze at Nan Qinghuan, "Qinghuan, I won't be like before. I know you love me and I love you too; I can't be without you."

These words made Nan Qinghuan extremely happy, even surprised.

"Ying, what's wrong with you today?"

Ying gently held Nan Qinghuan in his arms, his eyes full of affection and longing for her.

He knew their days would get better and better, so... "Qinghuan, I will take good care of you and the child; we will certainly be very happy."

Nan Qinghuan didn't know why Ying suddenly said those words; damn, who could endure this? She lifted her head, their gazes met, and at that moment, heaven and earth turned into void.

Only the two of them.

Only them!

Nan Qinghuan, moved by sudden feeling, rose onto tiptoe and gently kissed him, because that small kiss made Ying's heart surge even more.

"Qinghuan…"

He leaned forward slightly so she could reach him; the two embraced in a passionate kiss.

This scene made the onlookers blush, and the tribe members felt embarrassed seeing them together.

"Look, Ou Mu and Ying are really affectionate…"

Isn't that so? The sun rises in the east and sets again.

After half a month like this, the Ying Tribe's main street was finally almost completed, and Rongdi also brought good news: their road had been built up to the junction with Ying's.

The three great roads were all built together.

Rongdi also let Li Xiang continue to build Carriages; he wanted to try what it feels like to go out riding a Carriage. The Ying Tribe's main street lies outside the tribe; this place was once Primeval Forest, now cleared into a vast area. In Remote Antiquity Era there was no concept of asphalt roads or waterway roads, so this street is relatively simple. When Ying brought Nan Qinghuan here, she was very happy to see the street.

"Great, finally finished."

Ying saw her happiness and was also glad, "Qinghuan, do you think this street is okay?"

Although a bit simple, she believed it would become more prosperous.

By then the tribe might no longer be a tribe, but a town, perhaps… even a big city.

She seemed to see that the future had already arrived.

"Ou Mu, now that the street is finished, when can we come here to trade, and how will they know we want to trade?"

The one asking was A Tu's mother; Nan Qinghuan thought for a moment, "Of course there will be a schedule. How about this: a trade day every three days, what do you think?"

Every three days!

The news of the three‑day schedule quickly reached Rongdi, who at that moment was staring anxiously at the last huge stone.

The stone was too massive to move; only after this place is finished will his road be fully connected to the roads built by Ying and Yao.

"Chief, it's impossible; this huge stone can't be split, and the Gunpowder won't help much."

The lone wolf took people to see that stone; it was too big to move, the Gunpowder couldn't blast it. What to do? This is the final bottleneck; if the road can't be cleared, passage is impossible.

Wouldn't all the previous construction be wasted? The tribe members come here daily to work on road building, which isn't very pleasant; they could go farm, at least they'd see something.

So they felt there was no need to continue building.

Rongdi, of course, was also troubled; he is a Beastman, that's true, but the stone before him was too large, even Gunpowder couldn't work—what to do? He walked to the massive stone, gently touched it, found it extremely hard and huge, which made him very worried.

Even Gunpowder can't blast it, and he can't move it.

That made him feel extremely irritated!

With winter approaching, this road still hasn't been repaired; that won't do.

After thinking, he hurriedly asked, "Has Ying's main street been repaired?"

Gu Lang hurried forward and gave a slight bow, "I heard they have already been repaired, they go to exchange goods every three days, Ying has already told the nearby Tribes, from now on that place will be a street of Shanhai Yishi, now it's more convenient, perhaps the people of those Tribes in Shanhai Yishi will also come to Ying's place to exchange goods, Chief, I'm still very looking forward to this street."

If there is a Market street at Ying's place, they won't have to go to the faraway Shanhai Yishi anymore; before, they had to set out early in the morning to get there and could only return at night. If Ying's place can also do it, with the road opened it will be faster and save even more time.

"Exchange once every three days?"

Rongdi's expression was complicated; Ying's side is done, but here it's still not finished, and he is very anxious.

"Go, go fetch Li Xiang to see what should be done with this big stone?"
