Chapter 573: You Saved My Father, I

~7 min read 1,224 words

How could she be taming beasts? You should know he was almost thrown to his death by a deer; he must know the reason, know why he lost? Nan Qinghuan sneered, "Do you want to know?"

"Want."

The man lifted his sharp eyes and stared at her; he wanted to know why this woman was taming beasts. If he had known earlier how foolish he was, he wouldn't have taken her out to bring about his own ruin!

"But I refuse to tell you."

Nan Qinghuan shoved the man's jaw and pushed him, "Come, men, cut off his head; if he doesn't surrender, that will be his fate."

At those words, Ashu understood immediately, "Yes, Goddess."

Thus, amid the man's gut‑wrenching screams, Ashu personally sliced off the man's head, and throughout it all Nan Qinghuan did not blink an eye; she only watched.

If it were before, she would have been scared, but after so many experiences she no longer needs to hide behind Ying with her eyes closed; she can calmly face all dangers of the beast world.

She can also resolve these matters well.

After killing the man, blood spattered the ground; Ashu lifted the man's head and said, "Goddess, it's done."

"Fine, Ashu, these bandits are yours and Youchao Xuan's to handle."

Ashu, puzzled, asked, "Goddess, where are you going?"

"Yes, Goddess, where are you going?"

Youchao Xuan was astonished by her skill; it seemed that as long as the Goddess was present, all matters would turn safe.

For example this time, he worried she might become the prey of this group, but unexpectedly the group was her prey; she effortlessly settled the dispute among them, and even without Ying and Rongdi she could handle it alone.

This made him respect her even more!

Nan Qinghuan looked at Lan Tian beside her, and Lan Tian was also astonished by her ability; a mere female, yet she could turn the situation here around and even watched a man behead with his own eyes.

Ordinary females would have been terrified and shrieking, but she did not!

This made Nan Tian even more confident in his judgment; how could the female he favored be cowardly? "I will go with this kid back to fetch the Herbal Medicine; you deal with this group, tell my senior brother, and I will return as soon as I obtain the medicine."

"No, let me go instead."

Youchao Xuan feared Nan Tian would harm Nan Qinghuan, so he wanted to go in her place!

"No need, I heard Qing Feng is also pregnant; you go back and take care of her. Three days—after three days I will definitely return. Moreover, this kid's original intention isn't to kill, but to give the tribe a good life; perhaps we can cooperate."

"Cooperate?"

Youchao Xuan didn't understand why the Goddess was always so unpredictable; in his view this man should be killed, so why keep him alive? If Ying returned and saw a man by her side, he would surely be angry!

"Alright, it's getting late, I must set out. Nan Tian, lead the way."

Actually she wasn't overly confident; when she decided to go alone she had already prepared. She wanted to see Nan Tian's tribe, perhaps she could also claim him for herself.

Now, on the Jiuzhou Dadi, half the tribes have vanished; to unify them, she must also strive!

Nan Tian, seeing her trust in him so much, naturally would not disappoint her; he nodded, "Fine, you follow me."

Thus, Nan Qinghuan and Lan Tian left Youchao Xuan's sight; Ashu watched her departing figure with great worry, "Youchao Xuan, still send someone to follow them; I heard the Bai Tribe's settlement is deep in the mountains, very dangerous."

Youchao Xuan understood Nan Qinghuan well; she doesn't engage in battles without certainty, so… "It's fine. Since the Goddess has already decided, I know what she wants. She not only wants the Herbal Medicine, but also wishes to subdue the Bai Tribe."

"Subdue?"

Ashu then realized, "Indeed, weren't they also subjugated by Nan Qinghuan and merged into the Ying Tribe back then?" "We will take these people back as slaves and await the Goddess's good news."

Here, Youchao Xuan and his group were dealing with these people; there, Nan Qinghuan and Nan Tian each rode a swift horse toward the Bai Tribe. When those Bai people learned that Nan Qinghuan intended to go with them to the Bai, their plan was to bind Nan Qinghuan and force the townsfolk to open the city gates, letting them in!

"Clan Leader, bind this female and bring her back."

The tribe members all knew they had been deceived; the townspeople needed to deal with them, so they all fled outside. But what does the Clan Leader mean? Nan Tian ignored his own tribe, merely turned his head toward Nan Qinghuan on the horse and smiled, "I never expected you to be so bold; aren't you afraid I might renege and use you to storm the city?"

Nan Qinghuan shook her head, "Of course I'm not afraid. If you act that way it will backfire; all your tribe members will die, you will die, and you cannot even die inside Kuaihuo City. What purpose does that serve?"

Nan Qinghuan's words made Lan Tian greatly admire her. Indeed, had it not been Nan Qinghuan today, he would have died, so he is relieved he hasn't become her enemy.

"Very well, I'll take you to my tribe, but I have one request: if you can fulfill it, I'll comply; if you fail, I might not let you return."

"What?"

Lan Tian let out a deep sigh and raised his head, "My father has contracted a severe strange illness; even the Shaman Healer cannot cure it. But I've heard your medical skill is superb. I want you to go see my father; if you can relieve his suffering, Nan Qinghuan, I, Lan Tian, will consider you a true friend."

Those words made Nan Qinghuan understand instantly, "So, you helped me today also for your father; your reason for entering Kuaihuo City is also for your father?"

"Yes, my father doesn't have much time left; I don't want him to die, so I came to you. You saved me before; I trust you."

Hearing Lan Tian's words, Nan Qinghuan squinted slightly, "Then what about the Herbal Medicine I need?"

"I'll give it to you with both hands. How does that sound?"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's set off."

Thus, Nan Qinghuan followed Lan Tian to their primitive tribe; when they returned, night had already fallen, and Nan Qinghuan felt an urge to venture into the deep mountains and wilderness.

The vegetation here was lush and isolated from the world, truly just like when she first went to the Ying Tribe.

The people here had already mastered fire by drilling wood, yet they were truly primitive, because she saw that these tribe members wore no clothes; compared to them, she was indeed from a civilized world.

"Clan Leader has returned."

A woman, barefoot, ran toward Lan Tian; her hair down to her waist was so dirty it was unwatchable, and when she spoke a foul odor emanated. Seeing Lan Tian she rushed forward, "Clan Leader, have you entered Kuaihuo City? The Old Clan Leader is near death."
