Chapter 532: Na Tu Envying All That the Small Town Possesses
He stared at the cup, reluctant to drink the tea inside; the cup before him was a gift from the Clan Leader of the Matriarchal Tribe, Rongdi and Yao each have a pair, Ying has a pair.
It is very precious.
So this time Ying took it out to entertain guests.
"Try the tea—how does it taste?"
"Thank you."
When Na Tu first tasted the tea, he was startled at first, then felt the flavor was truly fragrant on the palate.
So delicious!
"Father, is it good?"
"Is it good?" little A Le asked him.
Na Tu gave an awkward smile, never having imagined that there were leaves in the world that could be steeped into such delicious water!
"It's truly amazing—just some leaves can be so tasty. Ying, the things in your Small Town are really delightful."
"That's natural; people here live well. Na Tu, isn't it much better than your tribe?"
Rongdi is quite proud; now everyone envies the people here and wants to live here.
Na Tu gave an awkward smile; in the past he would never admit that his days were not good, but now seeing that in Ying Town the food, drink, and housing are far better than his tribe's, he truly feels envy.
Of course, he's also impressed!
"Indeed, it's truly much better than my tribe."
Na Tu was very awkward, kept nodding, then drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.
After drinking, he finally looked at Ying and Rongdi, "I came this time not only to fetch my daughter, but also have something to discuss with you."
This made everyone glance at each other, wondering what to discuss. "What do you want to discuss?"
Na Tu thought for a moment, gently released A Le, then stood and bowed to Ying, "You rescued my daughter, I'm grateful. So, to express my thanks, I wish to form an alliance with you, forever brothers. Ying, what do you think?"
Form an alliance.
This is actually something Ying really wants to do, but he's not sure Na Tu is sincere; when A Yao escaped last time, he feared Na Tu would send people to attack them, because he's heard of Na Tu's character—he loves plundering.
Now to ally with them.
"Is this possible?" Rongdi and Yao also stood, glanced at each other, and Rongdi coldly asked, "Na Tu, are you serious?"
Na Tu nodded, "Of course it's true. You rescued my daughter; I'm willing to ally with you. I'm sincere."
After saying that, he drew an Olive Branch from his waist, a custom of the Ancient Land, symbolizing peace.
Seeing his sincerity, Ying and the two exchanged a glance, slightly frowning, "Are you sure you want to ally with us?"
"Yes, I'm sure. I hope you won't despise us. The last incident was my fault; I shouldn't have listened to Luosang's words and sent people and beasts to help him. You also captured A Yao. Is it okay now?"
Now he sincerely hopes to resolve this, which will also benefit his Beast Taming Tribe in the future.
On his way here he witnessed the prosperity, so… allying with them is right.
We cannot be enemies!
Ying was silent for a moment, then smiled suddenly, but said nothing, which made little A Le anxious; she stepped forward, grabbed Ying's legs, "Ying, just agree to my father. Sister also hopes we can get along peacefully."
Little A Le even pleaded; Ying originally didn't want to attend to her, but it was his first time being embraced by a little girl, which reminded him of his daughter.
Mengmeng.
If his daughter grows up, will she be this cute too?
Perhaps because he is now a father, he is softer‑hearted, especially when facing a little girl like A Le.
He has no way to refuse.
He slightly frowned, then reached out to touch A Le's cheek, "Fine, for the sake of your daughter I agree to the alliance, but Na Tu, the unpleasant words must be said first: if you are disloyal to us in any way, we won't let you go. Do you understand?"
This was a warning; instantly the atmosphere froze. Na Tu burst out laughing, "Of course, my brothers must be loyal. It's settled then: the Beast Taming Tribe and Ying Town are allied."
After the two exchanged Olive Branches, they still followed the old custom: slaughtering chickens and butchering sheep to entertain the brothers who arrived from the original road!
Ying ordered Yao and Rongdi to handle it; after they left, Na Tu was drinking with Ying, and after a few cups he seemed to recall something.
"Ying, there's something I still need to tell you."
Hearing that, Ying slightly frowned, "What is it?"
What matters need to tell him? Na Tu paused, then murmured, "A few days ago I heard the Baiqi Tribe is buying Iron Tools in large quantities!"
"Did you know about this?"
Iron Tools!
Ying furrowed his brows, nodded, then stood and looked outside, "I know, I've also captured many of them."
"Is he trying to deal with you?"
Na Tu stood up, a bit nervous, "If he wants to go after you, I will definitely help you, don't worry."
With Na Tu's words, Ying was very pleased, turned and smiled, "Don't worry, it's fine. If they dare come, I will make sure they can't leave."
Indeed, he is already prepared!
Na Tu, hearing his words, also realized that Ying had already prepared.
"Rest assured, if they dare come here, I will receive the news there, and I will inform you in advance to cooperate."
Ying naturally was pleased, smiled, "Then thank you."
"Father, have you decided? I want to take you to see the fields."
"Fields? What are fields?"
Little A Le giggled, "It's the green fields; sister said there are butterflies. I want you to come with me to catch butterflies, father, let's go, let's go…"
How could Na Tu possibly resist his daughter's invitation? He was immediately pulled away by her, and he also wanted to see those infrastructure things he hadn't seen before.
"Ying, I'll go with the child first."
"Go ahead."
After the father and daughter left, Nan Qinghuan entered from behind.
"Ying"
"Qinghuan"
Originally Ying's mood wasn't very good; the Baiqi Tribe had always been a lingering worry for him. Now, upon hearing Na Tu say that, he also knows the Baiqi Tribe will eventually attack them here.
Therefore he must make thorough preparations.
Nan Qinghuan saw him silent, but noticed an Olive Branch on the table. She hurried forward and leaned close to him, "I heard you formed an alliance with Na Tu?"
Ying's eyes were full of affection; he nodded toward her, "That's right, he sent the Olive Branch and I couldn't refuse, and allying with him has always been something I wanted to do, so I agreed. Now it seems he doesn't intend to oppose us, but rather will help us, Qinghuan. This child's rescue truly came at the right time."
