Chapter 528: The Beast Taming Tribe Agrees to Ally

Actually, Ying knows Nan Qinghuan's skill; if she wants to heal, she can definitely heal it!

Nan Qinghuan nodded, casually took his hand, and the two walked hand‑in‑hand toward the doorway like an ordinary married couple; under the moonlight their silhouettes matched perfectly.

After returning, Nan Qinghuan explained everything to Ying, and Ying didn't think the child had a skin disease; as long as it's not contagious, it's fine.

He breathed a sigh of relief and ladled a bowl of soup for Nan Qinghuan. Feeling very tired and with sore shoulders, she sat on a small wooden stool, watching Ying busy himself; at that moment she suddenly felt truly happy.

So happiness is watching one's own man cook for you—that is happiness.

"Ying, what should we eat that's tasty?"

"I simmered a bit of Pork Rib Soup for you; want to try?"

"Pork ribs?"

Nan Qinghuan didn't expect him to make Pork Rib Soup and was a bit surprised, "Who told you it was pork ribs?"

Ancient People didn't have that concept; as long as it's meat, they could cook and eat it.

Ying ladled a bowl and handed it to her; in the candlelight his eyes were full of tenderness. He crouched slightly, very humbly, "Qinghuan, try it. This is what senior brother taught me; he said you love Pork Rib Soup the most, try?"

"Senior brother…"

She hasn't seen senior brother for several days; lately things have been busy, and she doesn't know how senior brother and the others are doing.

"Right, try it—how does it taste? I made it exactly as senior brother instructed."

The Pork Rib Soup was a bit dark, and Nan Qinghuan saw that it actually contained shiitake mushrooms. She knew these were a rare ingredient; picking ordinary mushrooms in the forest is easy, but shiitake are scarce and usually sourced from elsewhere.

They don't grow shiitake here.

"Did you buy them?"

She remembered that shiitake aren't cheap.

Ying smiled, "Try it—if it's good, I'll buy more for you next time."

Shiitake are very pricey, much higher than ordinary mushrooms, but as long as Qinghuan likes them, Ying thinks there's no problem at all.

Nan Qinghuan naturally liked them; needless to say, it already cost a lot.

She tasted the soup; it was a bit salty, but still drinkable.

"How is it, tasty?"

She could only say the flavor was good, but… "Ying, put less Salt next time; it would taste better."

Ying gave a goofy smile, "Alright, next time I'll know to use less. Come, eat the meat, eat…"

That night, Ying fed Nan Qinghuan until she was very full; after she ate, it was already the third watch.

Nan Qinghuan was also sleepy, yawning; seeing her fatigue, Ying boiled water to prepare a foot‑wash for her. He did everything a man should do, and everything he shouldn't do.

He did it all!

Nan Qinghuan also didn't dare to let him serve her, "Let me."

"No, you wash your feet first; I'll go make the bed."

"Ying, wait."

Nan Qinghuan noticed he was acting strange tonight; what's wrong? Ying stopped, turned his head to look at her; in the candlelight his face flickered.

"What's wrong?"

"Why are you suddenly so kind to me? Did senior brother say something?"

"Silly girl, when did I ever treat you badly? Don't overthink it; I just think you've done a lot for us. If it weren't for Small Town, you could have refused to save that child, right?"

Li Xiang told him that if it weren't for Small Town, they wouldn't need to do this, and besides, this would make Qinghuan very tired.

She hasn't finished her postpartum confinement yet, and Ying felt very distressed!

Hearing his words, Nan Qinghuan suddenly laughed, reached out and tugged, "Come over."

Ying hurried forward, "What's wrong?"

Nan Qinghuan wrapped her arms around his waist, buried her head in his chest, holding him tightly like that.

"I wouldn't, for anyone, let a dying person go unassisted—that's not what a doctor should do. Moreover, saving that child is good for both of us. Rest assured, A Yao was released by me; I can now take responsibility for them. The Beast Taming Tribe will not become our enemy, I swear."

That's right; she intends to control the Beast Taming Tribe, and A Le likes her a lot; she thinks they can become friends.

They won't become enemies!

Nan Qinghuan's proactive behavior made Ying feel a bit uneasy below; the man's impulse made him think… noticing his change, Nan Qinghuan felt nervous, "No, I'm sleepy and need to rest."

Ying has now learned how to restrain his desires; he wasn't like this before—when he wanted something, he took it, never considering her feelings.

Whether she agrees or not, if he wants it, he'll do it!

So, back then Nan Qinghuan was afraid his beastly nature would flare up; now she doesn't need to fear it.

She need not be afraid.

Because he will respect her!

Ying knew she was tired, took a deep breath and gently let her go, "I was just teasing you, don't overthink it. I'll make the bed; you go rest."

Soon, Ying went to make the bed; he knew Nan Qinghuan liked a soft bed, and after finishing, he turned to call her over to rest, only to discover… Nan Qinghuan had fallen asleep on the small stool.

Ying sighed helplessly, hurried over, gently lifted her into the room, and placed her softly by the bedside; he knew she was very tired, so he moved carefully.

Afraid of waking her.

After Nan Qinghuan fell asleep, some broken footsteps sounded from outside.

Listening closely, it seemed they were looking for him!

He tucked the blanket over Nan Qinghuan, then went out.

"Ying…"

Outside came Ashu's voice; Ying hurried out and shut the door.

Outside, the moonlight was bright, and Ashu was drenched in sweat!

"What's wrong, Ashu?"

Ashu gasps, "Ying, did the Goddess revive that little girl?"

Now they have also learned to call a little girl "little girl," Ying heard his words and slightly frowned, "What's wrong?"

"Just now while on patrol we discovered over a hundred people rushing toward us, seeming to be from the Beast Taming Tribe."

"The Beast Taming Chief has arrived?"

"We didn't see clearly whether it was, they were far away; at this rate they'll reach the Small Town by dawn, Ying, what should we do?"

Ashu is extremely responsible for these matters; a Small Town where people can live in peace and prosperity is his lifelong dream, so he cannot tolerate anyone destroying the Small Town.

"No one is allowed!"

If the Goddess can heal that child's wound, then the Beast Taming Tribe won't trouble them.

Upon hearing this, Ying slightly frowned and murmured, "Continue to monitor them, see if they are carrying weapons; A Le's matter is fine, Qinghuan can save, and if the Beast Taming Tribe's chief arrives, that's also good—we rescued his daughter, he has no reason to make things difficult for us."

"Alright then, I'll go monitor them now; if I get any news, I'll come find you immediately."
