Chapter 464: Rongdi Got Stuck by a Bone

~7 min read 1,254 words

Ying's aggressive demeanor left Luosang unable to withstand it. How could his old bones endure Jingang's torment? His face pale, he lowered his head. "Ying, I lose. Spare me, let me go back. From now on, I won't oppose you anymore, how about it?"

Luosang now knew how foolish he had been. That damned Jiguang had ruined his entire tribe!

"Old thing, it's too late to say that now. Ying, why not let me eat this old thing? I, Rongdi, haven't eaten anyone in a long time."

Rongdi was very pleased. It had been ages since he'd tasted human flesh. The old thing, though a bit aged, still had some chew.

Having said this, Rongdi was about to act, but Luosang kept weeping. Ying merely waved his hand slightly. "Fine, I'll give Luosang to you. Do with him as you please. Dashan."

Behind him, Dashan hurried over. "Ying, you speak."

"You and Yao take a group of men to wipe out the Lasi Tribe. Tell the people there that I, Ying, welcome those who want to integrate into Small Town, and I await those who want to avenge their Clan Leader Luosang."

Having said this, Ying turned and took Nan Qinghuan's hand. "Qinghuan, let's go."

As cold as he had been to Luosang just now, that was how gentle he was with Nan Qinghuan now. Watching from the side, Jiguang was dumbfounded. She had long known that Ying treated Nan Qinghuan differently from other women, but now it was clear this was true.

And, very good.

Could it be that modern people and savages could also fall in love? "Nan Qinghuan, what about me?"

Only then did Nan Qinghuan remember that she hadn't explained things clearly to Ying. She hurriedly thought to introduce them. "Ying, this is Jiguang. I've already discussed it with her. We won't be enemies, we won't fight, we'll be allies."

Hearing this, Na Yao and Rongdi were greatly shocked. They never expected Nan Qinghuan to decide on her own to become allies with this Jiguang. They had been ready to start a fight.

And, by the way, wipe out this Giant Tribe. Then, among the tribes of Jiuzhou, who could still contend with them? Who would still be eyeing their Small Town covetously!

"Allies?"

"That's right, Ying. I've thought it through. Your woman is right. We can't be enemies. As friends, we can progress and develop together. My people also want to live a good life."

This was true. She had now seen Nan Qinghuan's abilities, so naturally she dared not act rashly. Where did this woman get the skill to tame these wild beasts?

If that was the case, then she truly dared not cause trouble.

Ying narrowed his eyes slightly, as if weighing how much credibility Jiguang's words held. Seeing that he didn't believe her, Jiguang said, "I didn't bring many people this time, just these few tribesmen. I admit that stealing the Defense Map was wrong. I apologize to you. I can compensate you with a drink. Consider it my fault. Let's let this matter pass, how about it?"

Jiguang had already changed her mind. For now, she needed to stabilize the situation. Even if she coveted everything they had here, her strength was insufficient for now. She still had to wait.

So, Nan Qinghuan was right. Developing together was far better than a great war.

Death was not something she wanted to see, and if she lost, there was the danger of tribal annihilation!

Hearing this, Ying and Yao exchanged glances. Yao still didn't trust Jiguang, feeling she was deceiving them. But thinking that the Goddess had already agreed, he decided to trust her.

"Jiguang, those are your words."

"My words. I won't go back on them. Look, I brought an olive branch. This time, the Giant Tribe genuinely seeks cooperation."

Jiguang had prepared this when she came, and now it could be put to use.

Seeing her offer the olive branch with both hands, Ying temporarily believed in her sincerity.

Suddenly, he threw his head back and laughed heartily. "Haha, excellent. Ji Lei, go slaughter a sheep. Tonight, we will entertain our friends."

That evening, Ying prepared fine wine and good meat to entertain this new ally.

The leader of the Giant Tribe, Jiguang.

Soon, Luosang was eaten by Rongdi. Nan Qinghuan didn't want to watch such a bloody scene, so she went back with Ying first. But Jiguang stood there, witnessing Rongdi eating a person with her own eyes.

She had heard of this Beastman, but this was her first time seeing him eat a person. Not that she was curious; she just wanted to see what kind of being Rongdi was.

After everyone had left, Rongdi ate with his mouth full of blood. He only ate fresh hearts. This Luosang was too old; only that part was edible. After he finished, Jiguang nearly vomited.

It was simply... a society without any rules.

Everything here felt too savage to her. The people of the wild tribes were hard to get along with. If so, she would have to be even more careful in her dealings.

"Chief, are we really going to form an alliance with Ying and the others?"

Behind her, Dazui Ba couldn't hold back any longer. Would they be captured as soon as they entered? Their people were already lurking outside. But as things stood now, this Luosang was too weak; they hadn't even made a move before his tribe was wiped out.

Jiguang shot Dazui Ba a glare. "What else? You've all seen it. That woman now has the skill to tame beasts. Luosang is dead, his tribe is destroyed. Do you want the Giant Tribe to end up like them?"

"But we..."

"Enough. You all go back first."

Dazui Ba and the others were reluctant, but whatever the chief said was final.

They were afraid of being captured by Ying if they entered, but Jiguang believed that Nan Qinghuan would not break her word. She was right; war was not what they wanted. They had all studied history and knew that fighting was pointless. Moreover, the current situation of the tribe was not suited for a great war. Everyone was preparing to farm and expand their own strength. War would only deplete their own power. Having calmed down, Jiguang understood this clearly. So, seeing Luosang dead, she had already abandoned that notion.

Seek stability first.

Wait until they had strength to talk!

Just as she was about to turn and leave, suddenly Rongdi seemed to be choking. He kept jumping around, looking utterly ridiculous.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Rongdi was in great discomfort. He dropped a bone from his hand. Having stayed here for some time, Jiguang was no longer afraid of such bloody things.

Because she was no longer a civilized person.

She had also killed people herself, and the original owner of this body had even eaten her own man.

No big deal.

"Stop jumping around here. Let me take a look?"

Rongdi was in great pain. Jiguang quickly stepped forward, pulled out an ear-cleaning tool she had made herself, then told Rongdi to open his mouth. She reached the ear-cleaning tool toward his throat.

Rongdi was choked and miserable, tears nearly streaming out.

He stammered, not knowing what to do. But Jiguang was neither anxious nor impatient. Soon, she found the bone spur. With a *whoosh*, she pulled it out for Rongdi. Instantly, Rongdi shoved her away and gasped for air. "So uncomfortable, so uncomfortable..."
