Chapter 582: Li Xiang's Child Was Saved
Why does she still so refuse to let me destroy the Baiqi Tribe, a tribe I must deal with!
No matter what price must be paid.
Even the ancestor truly does not understand why his daughter always sides with the people of the Baiqi Tribe; hasn't it already been clarified? "A Mu, why?"
Nan Qinghuan also asks, for she has always suspected that A Mu might be a member of the Baiqi Tribe, which is why she protects its people so fiercely.
Her intuition tells her that A Mu is not telling the truth.
Sure enough, when A Mu sees them all questioning her, she immediately stands up, turns her face away, and says, "Because…"
"Because war brings death, Ying, I don't want to see anyone else die, I also don't want to see you leave home; the child is still young and needs you, so let's not fight, okay?"
Facing A Mu's request, Ying and Nan Qinghuan exchange a glance; Nan Qinghuan understands A Mu's meaning and quickly comforts her, "A Mu, don't overthink it. This time we won't attack the Baiqi Tribe, and Ying will stay for now. He will stay with us, with the child."
Hearing Nan Qinghuan say they will not attack the Baiqi Tribe now, A Mu's heart gradually steadied.
"Alright, then stay at home; staying at home is fine for everything."
The meal had been harmonious, but once the Baiqi Tribe was mentioned, A Mu seemed like a different person, refusing any talk of letting Ying destroy it.
So after the meal, A Mu and the ancestor left; Nan Qinghuan went to wash the dishes but was stopped by Ying, "Qinghuan, let me do it."
Nan Qinghuan shook her head, "No need, let me wash. You are a great hero and should rest well."
"Hero?"
Ying walked to her side, let out a snort, and reached for the bowl and chopsticks in her hand, "Outside I'm a hero, but here I'm just your man, the child's father. These chores were once all done by me, and now they're still mine. You play with the child, I'll clean up."
Regarding Ying not letting her work, Nan Qinghuan was truly delighted; in her memory, Ying almost never lets her do chores, even now he worries about her hands.
So she truly stopped working, and in the courtyard she played with the two children; when the children grew tired they lay down in the Baby Carriage and fell asleep, while Nan Qinghuan waved a bamboo fan to shoo away mosquitoes.
A harmonious, warm family.
Night fell, the whole city bathed in lights; Nan Qinghuan sat on a bamboo chair, lifted her head to the sky, and suddenly she saw… the Seven Star Conjunction!
Indeed, it was the Seven Star Conjunction.
A streak, swift as sweeping the floor, sliced across the sky, its long tail forming a beautiful scenic line, causing Nan Qinghuan to instantly straighten her posture.
She hadn't expected the chance to come again? She can go back now? "Junior sister"
From outside the courtyard came Li Xiang's voice, "Senior brother…"
She hurried to open the courtyard gate, and Li Xiang rushed in, then lifted his head to gaze at the Seven Star Conjunction in the sky.
"Did you see it? The Seven Star Conjunction has appeared, junior sister, we can return now."
Li Xiang suddenly came to her saying they could return, which left Nan Qinghuan a bit puzzled, "Senior brother, do you want to go back?"
He isn't staying here fine? Li Xiang nodded, "Ying?"
"He's washing dishes, what do you think?"
She didn't know why senior brother suddenly wanted to go back, but felt the opportunity was rare; last time she thought such a chance wouldn't come for ten years, yet it appeared so easily again.
Li Xiang let out a deep sigh; he knew Nan Qinghuan would be reluctant to leave, but… he wanted to go back.
He sat down, somewhat helpless, "Thank you for the Divine Herb today; Duo Luo has already taken it, but the child still might not be saved."
"What, still can't be saved, why?"
Nan Qinghuan was a bit nervous; could it be because the herb was fake? Could Nan Tian deceive her? "Don't blame the herb for having problems; it's real, it works, but Duo Luo's case is special. Aurora previously said Duo Luo is prone to miscarriage, related to her body. Though the Herbal Medicine was taken, whether the child can be saved remains uncertain. So, Qinghuan, seeing the Seven Star Conjunction gave me the thought of returning. I want to take Duo Luo back to our world; once we return, the medical facilities there are far better than now. I believe I can protect mother and child well."
Hearing Li Xiang's words, Nan Qinghuan truly hadn't expected things to turn like this; she looked at Li Xiang, "Senior brother, have you thought this through? You suddenly want to take Duo Luo back; will your parents accept her?"
Li Xiang had already thought this through; he nodded, "I've already planned it. I'll tell my parents that she's a girlfriend I met outside. Duo Luo has never been to our world, she has no close family. I discussed it with her; she said wherever I go, she'll go. If it's for our child, I have no choice but to do this. Junior sister, I'm only asking you one thing: now that there's a chance, will you go?"
Actually Li Xiang didn't need to ask, but he still spoke up; he wanted Nan Qinghuan to take Ying and the child with her. Life in this Remote Antiquity Era is too harsh for the child; if they could bring them back, they'd directly enter a civilized society, which would be a great development for the child.
Anything would be better than now!
"Go?"
Here, Nan Qinghuan discusses returning with Li Xiang, while Ying, having finished washing dishes, stands at the doorway, having heard all their words.
Li Xiang wants Qinghuan to leave again? He stands there like a child about to be abandoned, pitifully, his hands clenched, waiting to hear what Nan Qinghuan will say next.
Will she abandon him and the child? He can't even imagine it; he truly cannot lose her.
Ying's heart is very anxious; he fears hearing an answer he doesn't like, fears Nan Qinghuan will still abandon them, because the Ape Tribe's world is better than here, even though he gave his all to carve out a realm for her, even though he decided to take her to a better city.
He also knows clearly that life here doesn't compare to the noble Ape Tribe's.
He has always been clear on that.
Here, Li Xiang also anxiously awaits Nan Qinghuan's answer, "Junior sister, have you thought it through? This chance is rare; if you don't return, you'll be stuck in the Remote Antiquity Era forever. Do you understand?"
Li Xiang still hopes she can go with them, back to their civilized society, after all, they aren't from here.
A wind blew, rustling, and Nan Qinghuan glanced at the two sleeping children, then fixed her gaze on the kitchen… "Senior brother, I'm not going."
"Junior sister, have you thought it through?"
