Chapter 476: Youchao Xuan and Qingfeng Are Getting Married

"Exactly, we must encourage childbirth; only then can the Small Town's population keep increasing, and then this place will become more prosperous."

Ying squinted slightly, finally agreeing to Nan Qinghuan's suggestion, "Alright, I'll follow your lead, but can A Yao really handle it?"

Nan Qinghuan was about to speak, but from behind came Youchao Xuan's voice, "Ying, Goddess."

Youchao Xuan arrived, and seeing the couple so affectionate confirmed his suspicion—Ying loves the Goddess so much, how could he ever mistreat her? "Youchao Xuan, are we about to have a wedding feast? Hmm?"

"Wedding feast?"

Youchao Xuan hurried forward, puzzled. He had been sent by Yao and Li Xiang to see if the couple had quarreled; now their worries seem needless—they're not fighting and are affectionate. But what does having a wedding feast mean? Ying chuckled, "What, you forgot?"

Youchao Xuan hadn't considered other matters; glancing at Nan Qinghuan's belly, "Goddess, that belly still has some time left; the wedding feast is still early."

Nan Qinghuan was speechless; no wonder Qingfeng said he wanted to marry her—this man is so foolish, she coughed, "I ask Youchao Xuan, when will your lifelong matter be settled? Are you letting Qingfeng, a woman, talk about marriage? Hmm?"

"Exactly, if you don't want Qingfeng, I'll arrange a man for her; this Small Town has plenty of men, and whatever Qingfeng likes, I agree."

"Ying, no—Qingfeng is mine; I can't give her to anyone."

This was Nan Qinghuan's first time seeing Youchao Xuan so worried and nervous; of course, she was pleased.

It seems this wedding feast can be used to matchmake a bit earlier.

Now that the Beast Taming Tribe matter is temporarily resolved, she believes there's no problem; thus only Jiguang remains. Jiguang is clever; even if he returns, he wouldn't dare attack them now, so she thinks to seize the opportunity and handle all the pending wedding affairs.

The Small Town is developing; a School is about to be completed, a Tulou is also nearing completion, and all infrastructure is proceeding orderly. So now there is only one thing left.

It's to matchmake these lovers together.

And have a few more children.

Hearing Youchao Xuan's words, Ying and Nan Qinghuan exchanged glances; he pretended to be a bit helpless, "Just because I say it doesn't count. You need to find Qingfeng; if she's willing to marry you, then prepare to wed her. However, the Military Camp has so many strongmen; she might already have her eye on someone else. Boy, you must hurry, understand?"

Youchao Xuan was actually a bit nervous; these days he's truly busy, handling protocol matters and supervising the School. His time meeting Qingfeng has dwindled—one training the Army in the Military Camp, the other bustling around the Town. He hasn't seen Qingfeng for two days.

"Then I'll go find her now; I will marry her, I want Qingfeng to marry me."

After saying that, Youchao Xuan turned to leave, but Nan Qinghuan quickly called out, "Hey, wait."

Youchao Xuan turned again, puzzled, "Goddess, what else is there?"

"Ying and I have agreed, and we've added a child‑birth incentive measure; you can put it into effect right away."

Youchao Xuan is a pure‑hearted man; after all these years without a woman, he doesn't know how to please a woman.

He nodded, "I'll go find her right now."

"Foolish boy, a proposal naturally requires flowers and jewelry; are you just going like that?"

"Flowers?"

Youchao Xuan already understood, smiling, "Goddess, you needn't say more; I already know what to do. I'll go propose to Qingfeng right away, and wait for you to have the wedding feast."

"We'll await your good news; if you approve, we can have the entire Town's people bless you, attend your wedding, just as when we were a Tribe, everyone wishes you a long, happy marriage."

Here Youchao Xuan hurried off to propose to Qingfeng; Nan Qinghuan was in good spirits, gently stroking her belly, watching his departing back with mixed feelings.

"Ying, another couple matched; now it's up to Rongdi and Jiguang—have they slept together yet?"

When Rongdi is mentioned, Ying looks helpless, shakes his head, "Don't bring it up; that man—who knows what's wrong—he hasn't…"

"Not made a move?"

Ying felt awkward, fearing Nan Qinghuan would bring up the past; when they first met, he forced himself on her, so now he feels remorseful, and if he could do it over, he would never treat Qinghuan that way.

Thinking of this, he felt guilty toward Nan Qinghuan, reached out and gently stroked her cheek, his eyes full of tender pity.

"Qinghuan, do you know how much I regret?"

"Regret?"

Nan Qinghuan furrowed her brows, looking at the man before her; he is no longer a wild man, now he increasingly resembles a ruler.

He had long transformed from a wild man into the helm of a city; countless Common People depend on him, and a single decision of his can determine the happiness of thousands.

But he says he regrets? Why? "Ying, why do you regret?"

Ying's palm was slightly rough; he gently brushed Nan Qinghuan's cheek, her skin so delicate that he couldn't let go.

In his mind he still recalled their first meeting, when those blue heterochromatic eyes caught his attention.

"If I could start over, I would never bully you. I would bring you back to the Tribe properly, get to know you, let you know I'm Ying, treat you well, give you hunts so you eat the finest meat, wear the warmest clothes. Qinghuan, I truly regret; only now have I found how to get along, thank you for not leaving me."
