Chapter 451: The Identity of the Giant Tribe's Leader Becomes a Mystery
That night, the Tribe's bonfire, long unlit, was lit again, and many people gathered to sing and dance, celebrating that the Small Town had gained many more inhabitants.
Beneath the bustling scene lay grandeur and prosperity.
Here, everyone was celebrating the great unity; Ashu, Youchao Xuan, Yao and others were drinking with Ying, and Ying became even happier after drinking.
From today onward, they became a true part.
Where there is joy, there is sorrow.
Nan Qinghuan was grilling barbecue there, the fragrant peppered lamb making mouths water; Axi, ChaoJi, and Clear Breeze were all helping.
Nan Qinghuan's belly was already huge, feeling as if she could give birth at any moment; Axi, worried about fatigue, dared not let her stay longer, saying, "Qinghuan, you rest; let me grill the meat."
Now Nan Qinghuan has become a priority protection target; they all don't want her overexerted, for if this child has any problem, they would be blamed by Ying.
Goddess
Behind her, Ashu's anxious voice came.
"Goddess, the leader of the Giant Tribe wants to see you."
Hearing this, Nan Qinghuan's expression darkened as she set down the lamb skewers, lifted her eyes to meet Ashu's, and asked, "You want to see me?"
"Yes, she kept saying she wanted to see you, that she had something to tell you. Goddess, what do you think we should do?"
Axi, hearing this, grew worried and said, "Qinghuan, don't go; that woman is so fierce, she has nothing good in mind for you."
"Yes, Oumu, it's better not to go; Aurora's temperament is strange, I'm afraid she'll frighten you."
"Clear Breeze, do you know Aurora?"
For a woman to become the leader of the Giant Tribe, she must have extraordinary qualities, which Nan Qinghuan still admired; in this Remote Antiquity Era, she had only seen the Matriarchal Tribe's leaders be women, while the others were men.
When Aurora was mentioned, Clear Breeze's expression changed slightly; she naturally knew Aurora.
She had heard of this female when she was with the Great Elder before.
She was extremely fierce; it was said she was a murderous monster who killed her own elder brother to claim the leadership, ruthless and cruel.
"I've heard of her; she has several males, but when they opposed her, she had them eaten."
"Eaten?"
Nan Qinghuan inhaled a cold gasp, startled; this woman was truly fierce, eating her own men—perhaps only in this Remote Antiquity Era could such a thing be done.
"You all grill the meat first; I'll go see what she wants."
"Qinghuan, Qinghuan…"
Axi, worried, gave Clear Breeze a sidelong glance, "Clear Breeze, why are you saying this to Qinghuan? That woman is so fierce; what if she scares Qinghuan?"
Clear Breeze only shook her head and gave a bitter smile, "Axi, you're mistaken; Qinghuan fears no one. Look, the Tribe's current strength is all thanks to Qinghuan's contributions."
"But…"
"The meat is burning…"
Clear Breeze said little, and ChaoJi hurried forward, eager to see what kind of woman could conquer Youchao Xuan.
"Are you called Clear Breeze?"
It was also Clear Breeze's first time meeting ChaoJi; she had heard Youchao Xuan mention ChaoJi as his sister.
"I am Clear Breeze; you must be ChaoJi, right? Congratulations, you're about to become A Mother."
Here, these women were making small talk; over there, Nan Qinghuan did not disturb the men drinking, and she didn't know what Aurora wanted from her.
However, she firmly believed it wouldn't be in vain.
Soon, she and Ashu arrived at the place where Aurora was confined; it was a Cave, with their trained Army stationed at the entrance.
When they saw Nan Qinghuan, the soldiers hurried forward to pay their respects.
"Greetings, Oumu"
"Is Aurora inside?"
"Yes."
"I'll go in and take a look."
As she entered, she quickly turned to Ashu, "Ashu, you go back first; I'm going to see her."
"Goddess, that's not ideal; let me accompany you."
Ashu was cautious of Nan Qinghuan; with her belly so large now, he feared she might be provoked by Aurora, and if Aurora said something harsh, what then? Yet he greatly underestimated Nan Qinghuan.
"No need, I'm just pregnant and haven't lost mobility; you go back, I'll go see her and be back."
Nan Qinghuan slipped into the Cave, while Ashu dared not leave, staying at the entrance; although Aurora was confined in a cage, she was still dangerous.
Having heard that the woman was skilled at beating people, he worried Nan Qinghuan might be at a disadvantage; even though there were people outside, he remained concerned!
Inside, it was pitch black, with only a Bonfire blazing fiercely.
It was Nan Qinghuan's first time at a place that held prisoners; originally she had ordered Ying to build a detention facility, and these caves were ill-suited for confinement, but the infrastructure would have to be developed gradually.
Can't rush it.
Upon entering, she saw Aurora confined in a cage, sitting there, her expression calm as she stared.
"Nan Qinghuan"
Aurora's gaze instantly landed on Nan Qinghuan; she never imagined it would be such a petite female—this very female caused her plan to fail, making the Rongdi unwilling to betray them; she never dreamed that the Rongdi would favor such a woman.
From her appearance she was already pregnant, and the Rongdi actually liked Ying's woman.
How utterly ridiculous!
Nan Qinghuan was not timid; she tiptoed step by step to the cage, her expression complicated as she looked at her.
"I am Nan Qinghuan; do you have business with me?"
The two women just stared at each other—"you look at me, I look at you"—and when Aurora was brought here, she also saw the changes, truly more people than in her tribe.
Moreover, there were many things here she had never seen.
She went mad with jealousy.
"I just want to see exactly what you look like, that you can get Beastmen like the Rongdi to obey you. If I'm not mistaken, you're holding a bonfire party tonight, celebrating that more people in this Town are joining, right?"
Nan Qinghuan realized this woman was quite clever; how did she know what they were doing outside? Something's off!
"What exactly do you want?"
Jiguang let out a hearty laugh, "What business? I just wanted to see you, and to let you know what the consequence of catching me is."
Nan Qinghuan didn't like this woman threatening her, "You're on the brink of death and you still dare to be stubborn? Looks like Liang Jingru gave you the courage. I'll kill you tomorrow; your clan won't avenge you. Jiguang, you're truly foolish; coming here is just courting death."
