Chapter 481: A Beastman Cuts Off His Wings as a Wedding Gift

Ying didn't know what a capital city was, nor did he have any concept of one. He just felt that the current town was already very good. Seeing more and more of his people and their lives getting better day by day—that was enough for him.

There was no need to turn it into a capital city anymore.

It was fine just as it was.

He was in a very good mood now. Rongdi had found a woman he liked, Youchao Xuan had gotten married, Yao's child would be born at the end of the year—they all had a warm home.

More importantly, the problem with the Giant Tribe had been resolved. Now, Jiguang would not be their enemy and had become Rongdi's woman. He felt that peace had already arrived.

Next, he would focus on stockpiling troops, forging weapons, farming well, and developing the economy. This was the Great Harmony and happy life that Qinghuan had spoken of.

He had always remembered!

Nan Qinghuan knew he didn't want things to change, but some things wouldn't stop changing just because he didn't want them to.

"Forget it, we'll talk about the future later. Let's go, I'm tired. Let's go home."

Her belly was getting bigger and bigger now. Fortunately, Jiguang was an obstetrics and gynecology doctor. So, even if she gave birth in this ancient time, she had nothing to fear. Even if the conditions were harsh, as long as Jiguang had the skill, the child would be safe.

Ying also felt very sorry for Nan Qinghuan. Her belly was so big now that she walked very slowly. More importantly, her legs were swollen. He had asked Youchao Xuan, who said it was a normal pregnancy reaction, but Ying was still very distressed.

Because, if it weren't for the pregnancy, Qinghuan wouldn't have become like this!

He bent down slightly, picked Nan Qinghuan up, and then slowly walked towards the house. By the time he had sent Nan Qinghuan home, she was already asleep.

She slept very peacefully.

He smiled, very dotingly, then placed Nan Qinghuan on the wooden bed, gently covered her with a blanket, and lay down beside her.

The night was very quiet, the town was extremely tranquil.

Ying lay beside Nan Qinghuan, looking at her sleeping little face. He gently reached out and stroked her cheek. He thought about many things, thought about the time they met… Back then, he knew she was a noble Ape-man. He didn't care about her status and tried every way to keep her by his side. He was glad she had stayed here.

This way, he could have a home.

In this warmth, Ying slowly fell asleep as well. Just as he was about to drift off, suddenly, hurried footsteps came from outside, followed by Ashu's voice.

"Ying."

Ashu usually wouldn't come looking for him at night. This situation meant something was wrong.

He carefully got up, took a deep look at the sleeping Nan Qinghuan, and then slowly walked out.

Outside, it was almost the fifth watch, and dawn was about to break.

Ashu stood there, somewhat anxious. "Ying, something's happened."

Hearing that something had happened, Ying pinched the bridge of his nose, very calm. "What is it?"

When Ying and Ashu arrived at Rongdi's new house, Rongdi's and Jiguang's wedding night had already been disrupted by this matter.

Jiguang stood up as soon as she saw him. "Ying, you're here. Hurry up and send someone to arrest this person."

Jiguang was very angry, her face even darker with rage. She and her man were finally about to have their wedding night, but unexpectedly, a Beastman had come to deliver a gift, saying it was sent from Na Shan's side. Rongdi was still wondering who could be sending gifts from over there, but since it was a gift, he accepted it. Good heavens.

The thing they received turned out to be a pair of wings, bloody wings.

When they saw that pair of bloody wings, Ying and Rongdi exchanged a glance. He frowned slightly and waved his hand. "Ashu, take this thing out and throw it away. Jiguang, don't worry, I will give you an explanation. Rongdi, come with me."

Rongdi was also very irritable. To encounter something like this during his wedding—a Beastman cutting off wings, this was a sign of seeking revenge against him.

In fact, he already had a clue in his heart.

He had no choice but to comfort Jiguang. "Don't worry, this town is very safe. I will definitely catch that person."

"You must catch him! Daring to ruin my wedding night, I'll make him a dead ghost!"

Jiguang's words made Rongdi smile. This was the first time Ying had seen a doting look in his eyes, but it was for a woman.

It seemed they were getting along well.

"Rongdi, come with me."

The morning sun was very scorching, not at all like spring, but rather felt like summer had arrived.

The mist was hazy, and infrastructure work had already begun. The town was bustling with activity.

Ying led Rongdi to a hilltop. Looking down from there, the former tribe had already transformed into something else. It was no longer lush and green, but rows of Tulou had been built, more and more, and it was becoming increasingly prosperous.

The tribe had truly disappeared.

"Who sent you those wings?"

Ying knew the Beastman custom—sending wings was a sign of revenge. Who had Rongdi offended so badly that they would send such a gift on his wedding day? Rongdi squinted slightly, his face full of beard. He sighed deeply, his gaze distant as he looked towards his former Na Shan Tribe. "I know who it is."

"Who?"

"It's Yueguang."

"Yueguang?"

Ying didn't know any Yueguang or Riguang, but Rongdi was very familiar with him. Yueguang was once a member of his tribe and the son of his Ashu. Later, because he wanted to rebel, he was caught by Rongdi. Rongdi, out of respect for his father's request, didn't kill Yueguang, only drove him away. He didn't expect that after three years, he had returned.

And he had sent a Beastman's wings. He was coming to take revenge on him!

"That's right, it's Yueguang. I've already sent Gulang to find him. Don't worry, I'll handle this matter myself. It won't affect the safety of the townspeople. Yueguang doesn't have many people; he's targeting me."

"I don't like hearing that. Since we are brothers, let me handle this matter. You stay well with Jiguang. As for Yueguang, I'll catch him and hand him over to you for punishment."

"Ying, you…"

"We are brothers, so we naturally have to help each other. Besides, you are my general now. If Yueguang wants to take revenge on you, that means he's opposing me. I won't allow anyone to go after my people."

Soon, Ji Lei hurried over. He had just been sent by Ying to track down Yueguang's trail and had indeed found a group of Beastmen's footprints, but they had already left.

"Ying, we found the place where they were active, but we didn't find the people. They should have left."

"Where?"

Rongdi also wanted to go and see. The two of them, led by Ji Lei, arrived at a forest on the hillside. The people Ji Lei had sent had found traces of that group staying there.

Someone had eaten people and spat out bones. The ground was littered with human remains, along with Beastman feces and footprints.

There was also a pile of burnt ashes. All of this indicated that Beastmen had been there.

"Ying, Rongdi, look."
