Chapter 581: Building a Kingdom in Her Name
Nan Qinghuan's words made Ying fall silent for a moment; actually he wasn't concerned about those tribe members, what he cared about was… that kid Nan Tian!
When that kid showed up next to Nan Qinghuan, Ying was very displeased and didn't like him.
Seeing Ying remain silent, Nan Qinghuan let out a deep sigh, "Trust me, giving them a chance is also giving us a chance."
Yes, she wants to help Ying unify all the tribes, not sparing even the small ones; besides, injecting new vitality into the city isn't a bad thing.
Ying stared at her intently, then nodded, "Alright, I trust your judgment, but Qinghuan, if I see that kid getting close to you, I won't be happy."
What? Nan Qinghuan was stunned—she never expected him to be this jealous? Jealous of Lan Tian? She saw Ying's solemn expression and suddenly burst into laughter, "Haha, Ying, you're just too cute. I'm already the mother of two children; how could I have anything with Nan Tian? Besides, in my heart he's just a little brother. I went to their place this time only to get the Spiritual Herb to save senior brother's child. Now everything is resolved, we should head back."
Nan Qinghuan couldn't believe that the children were already born, and Ying was still jealous? Unbelievable!
Hearing Nan Qinghuan call him a little brother made Ying happy; he quickly straightened up, stood, tidied himself, and gazed at the dimming dusk.
"Let's go, we're heading home."
That day in Kuaihuo City, songs and dances welcomed Ying and his party back; as the couple just rode their horses to the gate, A Mu and the ancestors were already there with two children to greet them.
"Ying, you have returned."
"A Mu, ancestors…"
The first thing Ying did upon returning was to see his offspring; Yingbeibei could walk now, and A Mu set him down to let him walk toward his father.
The kid saw his father return and staggered step by step toward him.
"Beibei, can you walk now?"
Ying was delighted that Beibei could walk; Nan Qinghuan saw her son walking toward Ying with a cheerful smile, his teeth already coming in, looking very cute.
"He started walking when you weren't here."
"Beibei…"
Ying scooped up Yingbeibei, gave him a kiss, the child's drool spilling onto his chest, but Ying didn't mind at all.
"Why do you only remember the son, what about the daughter?"
Mengmeng… and so, Ying, holding a child in each hand, burst into hearty laughter, "Let's go home."
"Go back, a sumptuous dinner is already prepared at home, Qinghuan, as long as you're safe."
"A Mu, don't worry, I won't take on debts I'm not sure about. Let's go, we'll have dinner at home."
That day, Kuaihuo City was bustling, not only because their City Lord won a battle, but also because many tribes were subjugated!
This was the greatest good for the Common People.
The City Lord's bravery can protect everyone.
Protecting the homeland they depend on for survival.
At night, the courtyard was brightly lit.
The crimson lanterns illuminated the courtyard, making it especially lively; the lanterns were crafted by Li Xiang, looking especially beautiful, so now everyone in the city lights lanterns.
The lantern light at night ignites the whole street, making this place seem like a civilized city.
On the courtyard table a huge spread of delicacies was prepared—fruit, meat, and Ying's favorite Fruit Wine.
The family ate and drank together, making a lively scene.
Rongdi and Yao also returned home for reunion; tonight was a day for everyone to gather.
The spread of dishes made mouths water; Nan Qinghuan, holding a child, asked Ying about the battle, and when she heard he had also faced danger, her heart tangled in knots.
Fortunately, nothing happened.
"Ying, eat more."
A Mu was very pleased; her son was truly formidable, and from now on no one on Jiuzhou Dadi would be his match!
Ying's bowl was filled to the brim; his gaze fixed on Nan Qinghuan's eyes, "Qinghuan, you've worked hard, come, have more."
"I'm not the one who worked hard; A Mu and the ancestors took care of the children, that's the hard part."
After speaking, she served dishes to A Mu and the ancestors; the two elders, knowing Nan Qinghuan's filial piety, said, "Qinghuan, you eat too; we didn't do much, taking care of the children is just our duty."
"A Mu, no, taking care of children was never your duty; you should enjoy your old age. Because you helped me with the children, look, A Mu has become thin; A Mu, you all should eat more."
A Mu, seeing Nan Qinghuan so sensible, nodded repeatedly with great joy, tears sparkling in her eyes, "Qinghuan, I'm truly happy you think that way. From now on, may our family live well; we never even dreamed of such good days."
A Mu's words were sincere; back when they were still of the Ying Tribe, they never imagined a day when a family would live in a spacious, clean house, chatting and dining in this garden, with filial descendants.
They had never even imagined it before.
But now it's all come true, and Ying has become the overlord of Jiuzhou, so no one will dare to bully them in the future.
That's truly wonderful.
"A Mu, our days will get better; I've been to Dragon City, and I want to move there."
Ying's words left A Mu and the ancestors a bit puzzled, and Nan Qinghuan was also baffled.
Why go to Dragon City? "Ying, why go there?"
"All the conditions in Dragon City are better than here, and senior brother said we need to establish a capital; we will build a new Kingdom, and I've already thought of its name."
"What name?"
"Nan Guo."
What? Nan Qinghuan was stunned; Ying wants to build a Kingdom called Nan Guo? Why Nan Guo? A Mu and the ancestors exchanged glances, a bit confused, "Ying, why call it Nan Guo?"
The mother and daughter didn't understand, but Ying smiled, "Because the lands I've conquered are all for Qinghuan; Qinghuan's surname is Nan, so it's called Nan Guo."
"Ah, not bad, I think the name sounds nice, except the Baiqi Tribe…"
Suddenly, when the ancestors mentioned the Baiqi Tribe, the atmosphere grew awkward; Ying, holding a child, didn't look well, "I will definitely eradicate the Baiqi Tribe this year."
The moment those words left his mouth, A Mu's chopsticks fell from her hand, and Nan Qinghuan saw that A Mu disagreed with this.
"A Mu, what's wrong?"
The three stared at her; A Mu, a bit embarrassed, quickly bent to pick up the chopsticks, clearly anxious, "Ying, can you not eradicate the Baiqi Tribe?"
Hearing that, Ying's expression darkened, his brows knit coldly as he looked at A Mu, "Why?"
