Chapter 585: I Won

Li Xiang saw that the dagger was the one he had once given her, it had been bought for her by Nan Qinghuan's father, she had always kept it by her side, and this time she was preparing to have her senior brother take it back.

"Alright, I'll take it back for you."

This time, he said nothing more.

Just after securing the dagger, Duo Luo felt unwell again and called Li Xiang in, and Nan Qinghuan, seeing her senior brother so busy, didn't want to go up and disturb.

She stood at the doorway, watching Li Xiang tend to Duo Luo, whose belly had also swollen; now she worried whether they could return smoothly, whether the Seven Star Conjunction could avoid any issues and bring them back safely, recalling that she had once stumbled in here by mistake—would going back be that easy? "Qinghuan"

Suddenly, Ying's voice came from behind; Nan Qinghuan quickly turned her head, and indeed Ying was standing at the courtyard entrance, his head drenched in sweat, clearly in a hurry.

"Ying, why are you here?"

Seeing Nan Qinghuan standing there, he knew she wouldn't leave; in that instant his nervousness eased, and he slowly walked to her side, gently embraced her, and said, "Qinghuan, you left early this morning, I was worried about you."

Nan Qinghuan didn't understand why he was so clingy, so she gently comforted him, "I just came to see my senior brother and discuss something with him. You seem so hurried—are you afraid I'll run off?"

Hearing her words, Ying suddenly laughed, "Of course not; I just saw you weren't at home, so I came looking for you. Come, I'll take you back and make you breakfast."

Nan Qinghuan saw his complexion wasn't good, "Alright, let's go home. Ashu, what has he been trying to tell you all this way?"

Here, after the couple said goodbye to Li Xiang, they prepared to leave. Ying was actually reluctant to part with Li Xiang, but he also knew the conditions here were poor, and Li Xiang wanted to bring his still back to the Ape Tribe for treatment.

Can't keep them.

"Li Xiang, Duo Luo, once your child is safe, you are always welcome here."

Indeed, although he never studied, he still needed to thank Li Xiang, because Li Xiang's arrival had made a huge contribution here.

"Thank you, Ying. Rest assured, we'll have a chance to come back."

"Alright then, Qinghuan and I will leave first. See what you need to bring back; anything I have, don't be polite."

Ying meant for Li Xiang to bring back something, but what could Li Xiang bring? What he most wanted to take away was Nan Qinghuan, yet he also knew she didn't want to go back, and Ying wouldn't agree.

Thinking of that, he smiled, "Alright, if there's anything useful, I'll tell you."

"Alright, we'll leave first."

After seeing Nan Qinghuan and her husband depart, Duo Luo also rose from the bed, and for her, Li Xiang's hometown was an unknown.

She would go alone; she wanted to tell Rongdi.

But now Rongdi had gone to Dragon City and hadn't returned; perhaps he would stay there forever.

So she saved herself the trouble of telling him.

"Li Xiang, what is your hometown like? Can it really save our child?"

She was truly disappointed in herself, wondering why she couldn't give Li Xiang a healthy child, why she still had to leave, and from private messages she said she didn't want to leave.

But now she had to leave.

Hearing her, Li Xiang quickly sat down to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, that place is better than here; there are airplanes, cars, and many fun things you haven't seen. Most importantly, the child can be saved."

He had already decided that this time the child would definitely be saved, relieving a great worry.

After returning, just forget this place completely, treat it as a dream.

Hearing Li Xiang's words, Duo Luo also grew curious about that place.

She lifted her head and met Li Xiang's gaze, "Really? Can the child truly be born safely?"

That day, when Nan Qinghuan and her husband returned, several people were standing in the courtyard; the leading Ashu, seeing them back, hurried forward and said anxiously, "Ying, you're finally back."

"Ashu, what's wrong?"

"The Baiqi Tribe members are outside the city, wanting to come in, but without your order we didn't dare let them in."

Upon hearing that Lan Tian and his group had arrived, Ying seemed displeased; he paused, looked at Nan Qinghuan, and said, "Qinghuan, you handle this matter; I'm tired and want to sleep."

Ying clearly didn't welcome Lan Tian and his tribe, and Nan Qinghuan also knew his jealousy had flared; she thought he wouldn't be jealous, but his words couldn't be trusted.

It would be strange if he didn't get jealous.

She thought and looked at Ashu behind her; Ashu wore an anxious face—these people were already outside, they couldn't be kept out, right? "Ying, you take the child, I'll go check."

Thus, Nan Qinghuan let Ying take the child, while she went to open the city gates to welcome Lan Tian and his group.

At noon, the sun shone brightly.

When Nan Qinghuan and Axi reached the city gate, Lan Tian spotted her at a glance; he led his people to seek refuge with her, and this time they could truly live inside.

Ashu, seeing these hundreds of people, recalled their own past; back then they had also arrived at the Ying Tribe destitute, and later, through their own effort, gradually changed their lives.

Now they lived carefree, and in his eyes, this was a heavenly life.

Now these people were also arriving.

And the Goddess generously received them.

"Ah, it's the Goddess, Lan Tian, let's go inside."

Lan Tian's father could stand and walk now; all this was thanks to Nan Qinghuan, and the old man, upon seeing Nan Qinghuan, was delighted, repeatedly thanking her, "Goddess, these fruits are what I brought, would you like to try?"

The old man was simple and had nothing else of value; these pots he had specially gathered when leaving the tribe, just to thank Nan Qinghuan.

Seeing the basket of fruit, Nan Qinghuan felt a sting at the tip of her nose, gently took the basket and nodded, "Alright, thank you for the fruit, everyone may go in. I'll have Ashu first arrange lodging for you, and then Lan Tian, give me a list of the households here; I need to tally how many families there are."

She decided to follow the old method: register households, then aid each family, and have Ashu help find them jobs, so they could quickly integrate into life here.

But Lan Tian, hearing about Household registration, was a bit confused, "Nan Qinghuan, what is Household registration?"
