Chapter 447: An Uninvited Guest Arrives at the Rongdi Tribe
"What?"
Duo Luo saw that he still didn't understand, so she hurriedly sat beside him. She let out a deep sigh and looked down at the situation. She had once thought that supporting Ying's Tribe would lead to a good life; now indeed they had a good life—everyone could eat their fill, stay warm, and also choose the life they wanted.
But she hadn't expected that the Rongdi Tribe would also disappear because of this good life.
If she had known this, she thought it would be better for the tribe to stay as before. Now these tribe members have tasted the sweet benefits, realize that life over there is better than here, and they are all eager to leave the Na Shan Tribe, where their ancestors have lived, to live in the Small Town. This is so cruel for the Rongdi.
He will be nothing in the future.
Not the tribe's leader nor the Town Mayor, he is just an ordinary Beastman; this is too cruel for the Rongdi.
"If we had known the tribe members would leave here, what would the Rongdi's change mean? Li Xiang, promise me we won't go. No matter how good the Small Town is, we won't go. Okay?"
Duo Luo reached out to grab Li Xiang, wanting to tell them that no matter what, they will not leave the Rongdi, they will not leave here.
Li Xiang understood what she meant; the tribe people still cannot change their old mindset, they need time to convince themselves.
According to his knowledge, over at Ying's place there is now a vast open land, many tribe members have gone there to buy land, the Small Town's scale is growing larger, and now is the best time for them to go there.
Later if they go again, where can they go? But, to consider Duo Luo's feelings, he still nodded, "Alright, I promise you, we will advance and retreat together with the Rongdi; whatever he chooses, we will choose the same; as for the other tribe members, we cannot control them."
"Yeah, we can't control them; if it were the past, these would all be traitors."
Duo Luo is a person who values loyalty; in her view, these people have abandoned the Rongdi.
Li Xiang had his own considerations, "Duo Luo, after we eat, I'll take you to the Small Town to have your health checked."
"My body is fine, I won't go."
Duo Luo didn't want to go for a check‑up; she said that things here are also miserable, even the female doctor has left, and in the future if a tribe member falls ill they'll have to go to the Small Town for treatment.
It is said that their female doctor opened a small clinic over there and won't return.
Li Xiang knew she was stubborn and didn't force her, just smiled, "Come, let's eat first; after we eat we can talk."
After Li Xiang coaxed Duo Luo into eating, Duo Luo felt drowsy and fell asleep; Li Xiang stepped out of the Treehouse and looked over the area. It used to be bustling here, but only a few days have passed.
The tribe members went to the Small Town, and it became very desolate.
He knew this was a trend; in the future, fewer and fewer people would be here.
The Rongdi Town Mayor's position cannot be held any longer.
A town without trade as its hub cannot possibly develop; if no one settles here, it will inevitably become a ruin.
He knew this well.
The Giant Tribe's people came to look for the Rongdi; why exactly? He still wanted to go see, fearing the Rongdi might have taken the wrong path.
The Bonfire blazed fiercely; when the Rongdi and the lone wolf arrived, Jiguang of the Giant Tribe, accompanied by a few men, walked over to the Rongdi.
Hard to imagine, the leader of the Giant Tribe is a woman.
Her name is Jiguang.
Jiguang is tall and broad‑shouldered; her skin is wheat‑colored, she wears Beast Skin on top and a Beast Skirt below, yet she dresses very fashionably.
She also wears red Lipstick.
The whole appearance looks very domineering.
"You are Jiguang?"
Jiguang and the Rongdi stared at each other; the two stood up about the same height. The Rongdi, being a Beastman, is a bit sturdier, yet standing beside Jiguang they matched surprisingly well.
The Rongdi glanced at her; he never imagined a female could be the leader of the Giant Tribe—how ridiculous!
"I am Jiguang; you are the Rongdi?"
Jiguang was also seeing the Rongdi for the first time; her tribe lives far away. If not for something happening to her own people, she wouldn't have come here. Her people were killed by the Rongdi, and she could never get over that.
But today she came not to pick a fight.
The Rongdi had never seen a second woman as bold as Nan Qinghuan; he couldn't help but look at Jiguang a few more times. The previous females were all meek and fearful of death, but this Jiguang was truly interesting.
Daring to bring even a few people to seek revenge on him.
What courage!
"I am the Rongdi; what, are you here to take revenge on me?"
"Leader, it was he who killed our people and gave their bodies to the wolf cubs."
The tribe members were very angry; the Rongdi dared to treat them like that, and they want revenge!
Hearing this, Jiguang didn't get angry; she merely clapped coldly, "People, bring up all my gifts for me."
In an instant, a group arrived nearby, holding pigs and Sheep in their hands, and there was also a woman.
The women were all very young, trembling, clearly taken by Jiguang.
"Leader, you prepared these items to give to the Rongdi—why?"
The tribe members didn't know what the leader was thinking; weren't they here for revenge? Jiguang snorted coldly, gave the man a withering look, "Silence."
Jiguang smiled brightly, stepped step by step to the Rongdi's side, then looked him up and down.
She truly hadn't expected the Rongdi to be good‑looking, a male that females would like.
She was interested in his wings and wanted to touch them, but the Rongdi pinched her hand.
"Ouch, that hurts."
"What are you doing?"
Jiguang, with her hand pinched, let out a shy cry; the Rongdi, however, didn't know how to be tender—he had only ever been gentle to Nan Qinghuan.
The others are all coarse.
"Don't touch my wings. Speak—what does this mean?"
Jiguang was shoved hard and almost fell to the ground; she initially wanted to get angry, but soon her smile blossomed again.
She smiled, lifted her gaze and stared at the Rongdi, "Why are you fierce? You see that I gave these things as gifts; I even specially prepared an Olive Branch. Rongdi, my Giant Tribe and your tribe originally had no enmity; why must we hate each other over trivial matters?"
Jiguang, still smiling, took an Olive Tree branch from beside her and handed it to him. The Rongdi didn't know what Jiguang meant and was somewhat wary.
"You think I would believe you? I killed your people in Winter."
"I know."
Rongdi was a little surprised; he squinted slightly and examined Jiguang's features, and those crimson lips reminded him of the time he saw Nan Qinghuan also painted that red.
They really are good‑looking.
It seems their Market street has been a great success; even the Giant Tribe's chief Jiguang has started using items from the Market street.
Thinking of this made his heart even more tangled and restless; his attitude toward her wasn't good either. If Rongdi had known he would later be together with Jiguang, he wouldn't have treated her so coldly.
"I know you still came to deliver something; you think I'm a fool, Rongdi? Bring the men!"
