Chapter 5: Chapter Five: I

A Mu, she is my female; from now on let Axi look after her; she must be hungry.

Ying finished speaking and said to the woman behind him, "Axi, go get her something to eat."

A female wildwoman walked out of the cave; she was called Axi, and Axi was also short, her hair styled like the tribe's and she dressed like the others, and the two balls in front of her swayed tremblingly as she moved.

Axi glanced at Nan Qinghuan on the stone and said, "Yes."

Axi was about to go get food, and Ying had urgent business and left. Inside the cave, A Mu stepped forward and looked at Nan Qinghuan, seeing her petite body with fair skin, and then noticing her eyes were blue? "Where did you come from?"

Nan Qinghuan quickly got up and wrapped herself, "I am…"

The A Mu before her was about forty years old, her face covered with dry, wrinkled skin; when she smiled, her eyes narrowed into a line. She dressed more modestly than those younger women.

A Mu seemed impatient, "Why is Ying so clueless, why did he bring back a heterochromatic female?"

She was a bit stunned. Heterochromatic? Is that about her? Her eyes were indeed blue, but she was of mixed blood.

Axi, seeing that Ying had left and then returned, said, "A Mu, she is a heterochromatic person; why don't we throw her out?"

No, you know Ying's temperament; I just didn't expect that among so many females in the Tribe, he would choose a heterochromatic person.

A Mu…

Go get her something to eat.

The woman called Axi was very hostile toward Nan Qinghuan; in her view, a heterochromatic person was an outsider demon. She could not believe that Ying would choose such a female. Setting aside her status, how could someone so thin and small bear Ying? Nan Qinghuan realized she was unwelcome and, out of courtesy, fell silent. Soon, the female wildwoman named Axi brought in a blood‑splattered rabbit. The rabbit's skin was still on, but its head had been smashed flat, clearly killed with a stone; the corpse was wrapped in a leaf. Axi was unfriendly, shoving the bloodied rabbit into her hand and saying, "Eat."

Seeing the rabbit's corpse, Nan Qinghuan was utterly repulsed; the wildwoman truly lived a flesh‑eating, blood‑drinking life. Who could eat a raw rabbit? She covered her mouth and retched, "Take it away; I'd rather starve than eat this."

Axi, seeing she wouldn't eat, sneered, "You won't eat? This is Ying's exclusive meat. If you don't eat, you'll just starve. A Mu, we don't have to look after her."

A Mu gave her a deep look, sighed, and left. Preferring to starve than eat raw meat, Nan Qinghuan felt dizzy and, in a daze, reached to touch her head—no good, she had a fever.

It's over. Getting a fever in this god‑forsaken place where no bird even defecates—she's doomed, right? In her daze, she heard Axi speaking inside the cave, "A Mu, that female's body is burning hot; she must be ill."

A Mu, truly kind‑hearted, walked in, sat by the stone, then reached out and felt her forehead, "It's hot, maybe it's chilled; go ask A Yue to take a look."

A Yue sister won't come; A Yue sister heard that Ying chose a heterochromatic person and is now crying in the cave? A Mu, this female is too frail; how can she bear the responsibility of bearing Ying's offspring?

As soon as the words fell, A Mu suddenly looked behind, her face terrified, "Ying, you returned?"

Hearing this, Ying set down a wild deer from his shoulder and hurried forward. Axi, seeing him arrive, dared not speak. Ying heard? "Ying, I…"
