Chapter 473: Rongdi

A Yao clenched their fist, bit their teeth, wiped the sweat from their face, "Don't worry, for my life I won't say a word. How should I get out?"

"Yao, you send her out."

"Me?"

Nan Qinghuan nodded, "Don't worry, nothing will happen, trust me."

Yao also went all out; if Ying wants to blame someone, then blame him!

Soon, Ying sent A Yao away; now the Small Town is all open, going out is convenient, and as they left, Nan Qinghuan thought her clothes were really shabby.

"Wait."

A Yao was very worried inside, fearing she would regret and not let her leave, she turned in terror and looked at Nan Qinghuan, "Anything else?"

Nan Qinghuan saw her face turn blue, then slowly stepped forward and took off her own cloak, a tiger‑skin cloak, very warm.

Although it was already spring and everything was reviving, the weather here was still very cold.

"The road back will be cold, take this cloak with you. I hope we meet again in a year."

Because Nan Qinghuan gave her the cloak, A Yao's resentful heart softened instantly. She never expected that Nan Qinghuan, a woman of an enemy tribe, would care about whether she was cold.

At that moment, she felt a bit moved.

"Thank you."

She realized this Nan Qinghuan was really different from her man!

"You're welcome. I just don't want war. Our Common People live peacefully here, war brings death."

Hearing this, A Yao seemed to understand, and nodded.

"Don't worry, I will do it."

Soon, A Yao was taken away by Yao; Nan Qinghuan stood there watching their departing backs, sighed deeply, hoping everything would go as she had planned.

"Nan Qinghuan."

Suddenly a woman's voice came from behind. No need to guess who it was; apart from the Aurora who came with her, no one would call her name like that, and no one dared!

She turned to look at the Aurora behind her. If she didn't know she was sent here, she really couldn't believe a primitive woman could utter modern words—it was so funny.

"I heard you slept well with Rongdi last night, getting up so late. The sun has already baked your butt."

Now she only sees her as a friend; of course she wants to be friends, not enemies.

Aurora glanced at her, looked at her belly, "You're bold, carrying a big belly and still letting that Tunshu woman go. You're crazy, aren't you afraid she'll go back and have people attack here immediately?"

Nan Qinghuan wasn't afraid to tell her anything, "Don't worry, she won't."

"You controlled her? Not bad, when did you come here, how did you learn so many skills?"

Nan Qinghuan rolled her eyes; she had no interest in telling Aurora those old‑fashioned trivialities.

"Enough, let's drop the past. What are your plans for Rongdi now?"

"Rongdi, what plans?"

She didn't know what happened last night, but it seemed Rongdi didn't succeed. Strange, these Beastmen and savages usually take a woman as soon as they like her; why is it different here with Aurora? Or maybe Rongdi was also influenced by their thinking, or Li Xiang taught him not to act recklessly?

Aurora blushed a little, touched her forehead, "I drank too much last night and slept all night, but don't misunderstand—we did nothing. I let that Beastman guard the gate."

"What, you let Rongdi go out to watch the gate? Fine, you're better than me. When I first came, I …"

"What's wrong with you, being bullied?"

Nan Qinghuan was too lazy to argue, awkwardly patted her belly, "Enough, just tell me what you plan now. Your people are preparing to go back, but don't worry, the thing I promised you has already been prepared by Ji Lei, nothing missing, you can use it when you return."

"My people have left?"

"Not yet, they're waiting for you."

Aurora seemed reluctant to go back; she had thought a long time this morning, and under Axi's guidance she inspected the situation here. Not to mention, she really admired Nan Qinghuan and Li Xiang; they even managed to bring an Excavator here—truly a divine assist, but… "Hey, you really aren't going back?"

When the topic of returning came up, Nan Qinghuan just shook her head, expression complicated, looking toward the distance where construction was underway; the school was about to put on a roof. Next month, the children here could go to school.

She hoped to hear the clear voices of children reading on this Ancient Land; how wondrous that would be.

"We can't go back, none of us can. If we want a better life, we must create it ourselves. What about you, what's your plan?"

Aurora thought, "You know I just arrived, many of my people don't accept me. Now that I've gotten those things from you, they'll calm down a bit, but that's not enough; I need to find a way to make them obey me."

"Isn't that easy? These people just want a good life. If you give them one, they'll respect you. If you can't subdue them, you have to kill them."

Aurora never imagined the word 'kill' would come from a mouth educated by compulsory schooling; she stared deeply at Nan Qinghuan, only then did she realize.

She was no longer a modern person; she had become a complete primitive woman.

She was, too.

"Well said—if you must kill, do it. Nan Qinghuan, I admire you as a capable woman. Rest assured, when I return I'll stabilize the situation, and then we'll cooperate."

"Are you really going back?"

Nan Qinghuan felt sorry for Rongdi; if this person goes back, what will happen to Rongdi? Will it be from the start of the year to the end? Aurora was about to say something when suddenly a sharp voice came from behind.

"I won't let you go back."

The two women finally turned, and lo, behind them stood a furious Rongdi, looking as if he might eat a person.

Aurora was also stunned, "You say 'no going back', you're who to me?"

"Come with me."

This Rongdi tried to grab Aurora and pull her behind; Aurora was reluctant, "Hey, you Beastman, what are you doing, why so barbaric, let me go, Nan Qinghuan help!"

"Don't worry, he won't hurt you; after all, this is the second time I've seen Rongdi in heat."

"What, in heat?"

And so, after Rongdi took Aurora away, Yao also rushed over, looking very anxious.

"Goddess, it's done."

Seeing Yao return, Nan Qinghuan thought it was a person not sent away, "What, wasn't she sent away and got discovered?"

"No, that woman was sent away, but Ying knows now and is looking for you. Goddess, Ying is very angry you let that woman go, what do we do now?"
