Chapter 537: Teaching the Beast Taming Tribe Agricultural Techniques

Even Ying didn't mind at all; he washed the child's bottom and changed into a clean diaper, then packed it up to give to A Mu, and after all that was done it was already the third watch.

The Bonfire evening party was about to end, Na Tu, Yao and Youchao Xuan had all drunk too much, A Le was full and sleeping beside Na Tu, and ever since her health steadily improved she grew to love this place even more.

She liked everything about here—the food, the drink, and the fact that she could go to School.

She looked up at the stars in the sky and said, "Father, why hasn't Divine Sister arrived yet?"

Na Tu felt a little embarrassed, not knowing why this little girl only liked Nan Qinghuan; even though he was her father, she never mentioned him.

"A Le, be good. Sister is with the child. If you're tired, go to sleep. Father is discussing matters with a few uncles."

"I won't, I also want to discuss matters."

Little A Le was very willful, of course spoiled by A Tu; Yao and Youchao Xuan exchanged a glance, realizing that having a daughter could make one so affectionate with his father.

It was truly unbelievable.

"Na Tu, today's incident was my Rongdi misunderstanding you; I'll drink this cup first."

After saying that, Rongdi downed the wine in the cup in one gulp and then gave a hearty laugh, "It's lucky you weren't angry; I wrongly accused you."

"It's nothing. I'm not angry; anyone would doubt in this situation. When we arrived, the child was stolen. We're outsiders, so your suspicion is understandable."

The words sounded a bit aggrieved, Yao gave a bright smile, "Na Tu, since we're all brothers, let's drop this matter. From now on we'll cooperate, making our peoples' lives better together."

"Yao, I love hearing you say that. Come, drink."

In truth, Ying was a bit displeased that his wife didn't come; the child wasn't his taking, but since his spouse never visited, the Beast Taming Chief felt he'd lost all face.

After a cup of wine went down, he no longer wanted to stay, "Tomorrow I'll leave this place; my daughter's health is slowly improving, so we won't disturb you any longer."

"Leaving tomorrow?"

Yao and the others exchanged a look, "Na Tu, does Ying know?"

"I'll tell him tomorrow, I…"

"How can tomorrow work? Naturally we need to stay a few more days."

As soon as those words were spoken, Nan Qinghuan and Ying Chao came slowly from behind; seeing Ying arrive, Na Tu instantly stood up, delighted.

"Ying, Goddess, you're here?"

"Sorry, the child's crying delayed us. Na Tu, how can we leave tomorrow? Stay a few more days."

"But—"

"Exactly, Na Tu, A Le's illness needs a few more days to fully clear. Stay a few more days; I see she also loves this place, clamoring to go to School with the other children."

"Yes, Father, I don't want to go back. I want to stay here to attend School, to learn characters with those little friends. Father, okay?"

Na Tu hadn't expected his daughter to want to stay; his expression turned sour, "You want to stay to study?"

Today he and A Le went to School, which was indeed different; those children knew Literacy, could sing, and he hadn't thought of letting his daughter study, but she could be just as capable as them.

But…

He was uneasy about A Le staying here.

Apparently sensing Na Tu's thoughts, Ying stepped forward, patted his shoulder, and said, "Don't worry. Since we're brothers, I'll look after your daughter. Whatever she wants to learn, the teachers will teach her. When she wants to return, I'll send someone to bring her back, and you can visit her here anytime. How does that sound?"

Originally Ying didn't want to agree, but considering A Le's advantages here—she is the future Beast Taming Chief—if she grows up friendly with them, she won't become an enemy later.

That was Ying's reasoning, but Na Tu had a different thought.

He worried that if one day a dispute with Ying's side turned them into enemies, what would happen to his daughter? Would the future of the Tamed Beast Tribe be held hostage by this couple? So Na Tu gave a bright smile, "Hehe, I certainly trust you'll take good care of her. It's just that A Le is too mischievous, and the Goddess has a child to look after—she's exhausted. A Le should go back; as for School, let me think about it."

"Father…"

"Alright, that's how we'll handle it."

No matter how A Le begged or acted cute, it was useless.

Ying saw his refusal and smiled, "Fine then, A Le is welcome to attend School here anytime."

"Thank you. Have the identities of those two been uncovered? Who wants to target your child?"

Hearing that, the atmosphere instantly froze; Nan Qinghuan's gaze grew complicated, "It's the Baiqi Tribe."

"They really did it?"

Na Tu let out a deep sigh, "Ying, Yao, Rongdi, you all must be prepared. Lately the Baiqi Tribe's people have been provoking you; I think their chief wants to go to war with you."

War!

Rongdi isn't afraid.

He patted his chest, "I've wanted to deal with them for a long time. It's outrageous—they won't even spare such little children. Ying, what are you waiting for? We can make plans."

Rongdi is always the more impulsive one; Ying only smiled, "Alright, we'll discuss this tomorrow. Everyone, keep drinking."

Hearing that, Rongdi also knew it wasn't the time to bring it up, and gave an awkward smile, "Come, drink."

While drinking, Na Tu stammered, "Ying, I'd like you all to help me with something, if that's possible?"

Those words made Ying pause his drinking, glanced at the others, and Nan Qinghuan nodded at him. He set his bowl down, "Go ahead, what help?"

Na Tu looked at his daughter, then bowed and said, "Today A La took me to see your Rice and Wheat Seedling; they've grown so well. My Tribe doesn't have these crops, and I love tasty rice and delicious buns. Could you teach my people how to plant Rice and Wheat Seedling?"

Na Tu hoped his Tribe could also grow wheat and rice; his people have never had the fortune to eat such good food, but he wants to try.

If they're willing, he would be very grateful!

Those words left everyone stunned, because the members of the Beast Taming Tribe rely on hunting, have no tradition of farming, and lack any experience—meaning they'd have to start from scratch.

Moreover, the first thing their children learn at birth isn't walking, but training beasts for their own use.

The Beast Taming Tribe wanting to learn farming techniques is indeed fresh for Ying and his side.

He was a little uncertain and asked again, "You want your people to learn farming?"
