Chapter 459: Cooperation Between Two Women

Why doesn't he know? Ying wasn't watching Nan Qinghuan as closely as before, because in his eyes, Qinghuan was now willing to settle down and live with him, and he no longer had to worry about her running away or anything.

Their relationship had long since moved past that unstable, unreliable phase.

Nan Qinghuan naturally couldn't tell him about the aurora; even if she did, the man wouldn't understand, so it was better for her to handle the matter herself!

"Just a friend, don't worry, I'll be back soon."

This time, Ying didn't plan to ask further, because he saw Youchao Xuan had already come to pick her up. He nodded, "Alright, but be careful, the night roads aren't easy to travel."

"Okay."

After Nan Qinghuan and Youchao Xuan left, the sound of footsteps came from behind.

"Ying, where is your Qinghuan going so late?"

Behind him, he knew who it was without looking. Rongdi stepped forward and met his gaze. Ying's eyes were very complex, but he smiled, "Why aren't you resting yet?"

He had already given Rongdi a piece of land. Rongdi was supposed to earn money here on his own to buy everything needed to build a house; he was going to build his own home.

Rongdi Snake was still a bit unaccustomed to life in Small Town. Back in the Tribe, he could do whatever he wanted, but not anymore. Now he was a general, needing to train those Army men and figure out ways to defend Small Town against attacks from other tribes. Their former tribal life had completely become a thing of the past.

"Where did Qinghuan go?"

He still cared a lot about Nan Qinghuan, even if she wasn't his woman.

This time, Ying wasn't jealous either, because he knew Rongdi wouldn't have any improper thoughts about Qinghuan anymore.

"She went out with Youchao Xuan to handle some matters."

"Matters? What matters need handling so late?"

Ying frowned slightly, his gaze deep, "She should be dealing with the aurora matter. The aurora ran off, taking the fake Defense Map."

"For the aurora?"

Rongdi was still very worried, "You can't let her be involved in this. It's dangerous, don't you know?"

"Enough, I'm very reassured with Qinghuan handling things. So, how's the Army situation now? Can it resist external invasions?"

He had already handed over the affairs of this area to Rongdi and Yao, and Rongdi naturally couldn't let him down, otherwise how could he be worthy of the title of general.

"Come with me, I'll take you to see and you'll know."

As they turned to leave, Ying suddenly thought of something, "Rongdi, now that you've moved to Small Town too, look, Yao and Li Xiang, and me, we're all married. Only you are left. Don't you want a family?"

"Family?"

Rongdi stopped in his tracks, raised his eyes to look at Li Xiang eating not far away. He was chatting with Duo Luo, and it was clear Duo Luo and the others were very happy. It would be a lie to say he wasn't envious.

He fluttered his wings and gave a self-deprecating laugh, "Family? Look at me, a Beastman like this—who would dare live with me? If I get unhappy, I might eat a woman. I think I'll never have a woman in this life."

After saying this, Rongdi quickly left. Ying didn't say much more. He knew that Rongdi still couldn't let go of Nan Qinghuan in his heart. Qinghuan was right—only when Rongdi found a woman and fully integrated here would he live happily.

Otherwise, every time everyone paired up, only Rongdi was left alone, which was quite pitiful. Even Jingang had found a female and had cubs.

Suddenly, an anxious voice came from not far away. It was Yao's voice.

"Ying, trouble! A group of suspicious people have come from not far away."

"What? Where?"

Over here, Small Town was on high alert. Over there, under Youchao Xuan's guidance, Nan Qinghuan gradually learned the entrance to a Cave. Inside the Cave, a Bonfire could be seen burning.

"Are you sure it's here?"

Youchao Xuan had been tracking for a day. He nodded, "That's right. They went to Luosang's place, but for some reason, the deal fell through, so the aurora brought people here."

"Very good, let's go."

"Hey, Goddess, what exactly do you want to do?"

Youchao Xuan was very worried, afraid they would be in danger coming here. He didn't understand why, knowing the aurora was here, she wouldn't tell Ying and insisted on coming herself.

What was the Goddess thinking? Just as Nan Qinghuan was about to approach, the Cave suddenly became very alert. Then, Dazui Ba ran out. When she saw it was Nan Qinghuan and Youchao Xuan, she suddenly shouted loudly toward the Cave, "Trouble! Ying's female is here!"

Hearing this, the people inside immediately stood up and came out. The aurora, who had been asleep, was also startled awake. When she came out and saw only Nan Qinghuan and Youchao Xuan, she was a bit stunned.

"It's you. Are you here to catch me?"

Youchao Xuan sneered when he saw the aurora was indeed here, "From the moment you fled, we've been watching you. Aurora, you have quite the nerve. Instead of returning to the Tribe after escaping, you still want to linger around here. Aren't you afraid we'll catch you and kill you?"

The aurora didn't know how they were discovered and was a bit angry, "Dazui Ba, what's going on?"

Dazui Ba looked a bit wronged, "Chief, I really don't know. I didn't say anything."

"You little brat, you must have leaked our trail. Could it be..."

The aurora was still quite clever. She immediately realized that maybe the Sheep Skin Scroll was the problem. She quickly picked up the Sheep Skin Scroll and sniffed it carefully. Damn, there was the scent of honey.

"Nan Qinghuan, you despicable woman!"

"Stop shouting. There's nothing wrong with the Sheep Skin Scroll. I just didn't want you to run off too quickly. Aurora, we're both from the same hometown, let's have a good talk. Today, I only brought Youchao Xuan here; I didn't tell my man."

"You think I believe you? You're a calculating woman."

"You have no choice but to believe me. If it weren't for this, this place would be full of Ying's people. Do you think you'd still have the right to stand here and talk to me? You'd have been caught long ago."

"Less nonsense. What do you want?"

At this moment, the aurora realized that while she was scheming against Nan Qinghuan, perhaps Nan Qinghuan was also scheming against her.

This woman was indeed not easy to deal with.

Much harder to handle than these Ancient People.

"What do I want? I want to talk to you alone. Talk about something beneficial to both of us."

Hearing this, Dazui Ba was very nervous, "Chief, don't believe this woman's words. She's just tricking us. Let's fight her. She's pregnant and can't run far."

The other tribesmen agreed with Dazui Ba's words. In their eyes, being caught by Ying's woman would be terrible; it was better to catch her first.

"I advise you not to make any rash moves. This is all my territory. Can you deal with me?"

The aurora signaled her subordinates not to move, "What do you want?"

Nan Qinghuan was neither anxious nor impatient. She reached out and gently stroked her belly, "Do you dare to cooperate with me?"
