Chapter 524: The Rongdi Who Was Trying Hard to Make a Baby

Nan Qinghuan wanted to laugh at this. Since the Aurora was teasing her, she wasn't one to be trifled with either.

"Take a look at your man—you'll have your hands full tonight."

"My man? What's wrong with him?"

Seeing that the Aurora still didn't know, Nan Qinghuan smiled. "I just heard that your man absolutely loves children and insists on having one with you."

Aurora: "..."

"How dare he."

"Aurora."

No sooner had she spoken than that Rongdi brought over Yao's child. The little one had eaten its fill and was sleeping very peacefully, and Rongdi's eyes were full of smiles.

It was obvious he really liked this child.

Perhaps because she was a half-beast, and he was also a half-beast, he felt a special connection to the child.

So, he really liked this child!

"Look how cute this child is."

Nan Qinghuan already knew what this man wanted to say. She smiled. "Aurora, did you hear that? See how cute the child is?"

Aurora shot her a glare, but she too was carefully examining the little one.

Although it was furry all over, she had also asked and learned that this was a unique trait of beastmen, and it would shed as it grew older.

Then it would become much better-looking.

This was the first beastman child she had delivered, and she felt a great sense of accomplishment.

"Come, let me hold him."

Over here, everyone was looking at the child. Over there, Ashu hurried in from outside. When he saw Ying here, he rushed in. "Ying."

Ying was talking with Yao about how to care for the child. Seeing Ashu arrive, he quickly nodded. "Then let's leave it at that for now. I'll step out for a bit."

"Alright, I've written it all down. I'll follow it exactly."

After Ying and Ashu went out, Ashu quickly said, "Ying, people from the Beast Taming Tribe have been spotted to the north. They seem to be heading this way. What should we do?"

"Beast Taming Tribe?"

Hearing this, Ying recalled that Beast Tamer named A Yao whom Nan Qinghuan had let go. Had she already betrayed Qinghuan? "How many people?"

"Not many, just over a dozen. And the leader is that woman the Goddess let go last time. Ying, has she brought people to take revenge?"

Ashu was very worried. If that were the case, they would be in trouble.

That woman had betrayed the Goddess!

Over a dozen.

Ying frowned in thought but remained calm. "Send people to follow them and see what they want to do. I'll tell Qinghuan about this. She was the one who let her go; she should have a way to handle it."

Hearing this, Ashu breathed a sigh of relief, but... "Ying, you can't blame the Goddess. She didn't want this either."

Blame Nan Qinghuan? How could he? He wouldn't.

"Don't worry. She's my woman. I'll bear everything she does, anything at all."

The Ying of now was not the same as before. In the past, he would have been very angry and gone to ask Nan Qinghuan what to do. But not anymore.

He had gained much more tolerance. He was her man, and he could take responsibility for the losses caused by her actions.

Even if that woman had truly betrayed her, then they would just catch her again.

In his view, this wasn't a big deal.

Besides, even if it came to war, the rice and wheat seedlings had already been sown, so he wasn't afraid of anything!

"Ying, Ashu, what are you talking about?"

Behind them, Nan Qinghuan walked out. Seeing the two of them looking so secretive, she quickly asked.

Ying quickly smiled and reached out to take her hand, his eyes full of tenderness. "Nothing. Can we go home?"

"Let's go back. Let them have a good rest as a family. Ashu, you go back too and get some good rest."

Ashu took a deep look at Nan Qinghuan and quickly nodded. "Alright, I'll go rest now. Right away."

After Ashu left, Nan Qinghuan quickly asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Did Ashu have something to say?"

Ying frowned, not knowing how to tell her. He was afraid Qinghuan would be upset.

In the end, she had still misjudged someone.

"Come on, let's talk when we get home."

In a situation like this, Nan Qinghuan knew there was a problem. She furrowed her brows and looked at Ying. "Alright, let's go home."

After returning home, they lit the candles, and the sky had grown completely dark.

The Small Town was bathed in a sea of lights, exceptionally peaceful.

Ying prepared to light a fire to heat up some bone broth for her. As he stoked the fire, he asked, "Do you still remember that woman named A Yao?"

"A Yao?"

Nan Qinghuan furrowed her brows. Of course she remembered. "I remember. What about her?"

Had the Beast Taming Tribe come? "Ashu came to find me just now. He said A Yao has brought over a dozen people near the Town. Qinghuan, I'm afraid we need to prepare."

Hearing this, Nan Qinghuan's expression darkened, but she wasn't flustered.

"I understand what you mean. Go find Rongdi and Youchao Xuan to discuss it first. If she really came looking for trouble, I won't let her go this time."

She didn't understand why A Yao would betray her, but if she had betrayed her, how could she only bring over a dozen people? What was really going on? Just as Ying was about to say something, Ji Lei's voice came urgently from outside.

"Ying, people from the Beast Taming Tribe have arrived."

"What? So fast?"

Ying immediately sent someone to find Rongdi. Everyone was on high alert.

That night, the people of the Town were also woken up. Everyone worried that enemies were invading, and they all stood at their windows, staring at the soldiers appearing at the entrance of the Town.

Is a war coming? The Common People don't want war; they all look here, wondering what's happening!

At the third watch, when Ying and Nan Qinghuan and their party arrived at the Town gate, indeed a group of people was slowly approaching from not far away.

Rongdi stood beside the couple, with soldiers behind and below him.

It looked like a fight was about to break out.

But he felt something was off.

"Ying, if they are truly from the Beast Taming Tribe, why are there so few of them? What exactly do they intend?"

Ying remained calm, straightened his posture and gazed into the distance; he also saw that group coming here, but there were only a dozen or so people.

He was full of doubts, naturally worrying that a Tunshu force might be coming from behind. The last time that woman came alone with many beasts, so when fighting the Beast Taming Tribe, it's not the number of people but how many beasts they bring.

Now Qinghuan can step out; she can Beast‑Tame, and he isn't afraid of the Beast Taming Tribe at all, so in his eyes, whatever they do will fail.

Nan Qinghuan also didn't hear any animal footsteps coming here; she shook her head and said, "No large animals are coming, it must just be A Yao with a dozen or so people, don't worry."

"Qinghuan, can you hear the animals' sounds?"

Rongdi thought Nan Qinghuan was exceptionally powerful; how did she discern that? Nan Qinghuan smiled, "Of course I can. If large animals came here, the earth would tremble and strange noises would arise. No matter how skilled the Beast Taming Tribe is, they can't stop animals from calling out, can they?"
