Chapter 71: Doting from the Wild Man Husband

"That's right, Shiva, we used Om's method to hunt a lot of prey. If this keeps up, our Ying Tribe won't have to worry about food at all. Look — antelope, mountain goats, unicorns — these are all big ones."

Seeing all this food, Shiva was also shocked by the sight before her. She never imagined that a female could have such ability? But even so, that couldn't change the rules!

"Even if she helped the tribespeople, she still must go to the Treehouse for isolation. She has brought a bloody disaster upon herself — staying here will bring misfortune to Ying. Ying, have you forgotten what happened to A Hua?"

But Ying looked at Shiva with resolute eyes. "Today, no one is taking Huaner to the Treehouse. Shiva, I respect you as the Tribe's shaman, but you cannot force me to do anything. I said Huaner stays, so she stays. Go."

Dropping these words, Ying no longer wanted to look at Shiva, and then he suddenly picked up Nan Qinghuan and walked toward the Stone Bed. Nan Qinghuan knew he was protecting her, but... "Ying, put me down. Today I'm going to let this old witch know that women having their period is a normal physiological reaction, not some bloody disaster, let alone demonic possession."

After saying this, she struggled to get down. Seeing how determined she was, Ying gently leaned down beside her ear. "Huaner, don't rush. I'll think of a way to handle this."

Hearing that Ying supported her, she stopped struggling at once and obediently lay in his arms, letting him carry her onto the Stone Bed. Ying, feeling tender over her discomfort, even brought out his treasured tiger cloak of many years to cover her for warmth. "Rest well. Leave the matter outside to me."

"Ying, you are destroying yourself. You will regret this."

Although Shiva was the old witch of the Tribe, she couldn't prevail against Ying either. Unable to take Nan Qinghuan for isolation, she could only say viciously, "Ying, you will regret this."

After saying this, Shiva gave a cold snort and left with several old women. Once they were gone, Axi grew anxious too. "Ying, you can't offend Shiva. Shiva will use sorcery to harm Qinghuan."

"As if she dares."

Dropping these words, Ying turned to look at Axi. "Go heat some water. Huaner isn't feeling well. I'll stay with her."

Axi gave an acknowledgment and went to heat water. Nan Qinghuan lay on the bed feeling miserable, her lower abdomen sore and bloated, very uncomfortable. Seeing her little face all scrunched up, Ying couldn't help climbing onto the Stone Bed and pulling her into his arms. "Huaner, don't be afraid. I'm here."

He thought Nan Qinghuan had been terrified by Shiva, but actually Nan Qinghuan just felt uncomfortable in her belly. She hadn't put on a sanitary pad yet, and her body was dirty, which made her very uncomfortable. "Ying, I want to take a bath."

"A bath?"

Nan Qinghuan was wrapped up like a rice dumpling by him, and he thoughtfully prepared everything she needed. In the warmth, the warm water made her feel alive again in an instant, but she couldn't soak for too long, or her body wouldn't be able to take it.

"Ying, give me my clothes."

Fortunately, she had clean clothes to change into. After Ying handed her the clothes, he thoughtfully stepped closer to her. Catching the fragrance coming from her body, he couldn't help swallowing, and a glint of delight flashed through his eyes.

"Huaner, you are so beautiful."

Nan Qinghuan felt quite embarrassed being looked at like this. Ever since she accepted this man, her body and heart already belonged to him, with no more of her former resistance and shyness. "Bring me the clothes."

But Ying's gaze remained fixed on her, as if wanting to memorize her in his heart. He longed for everything about her — longed for her warm hands, longed for the feeling of being together with her. As long as they were together, he wished they could be together every day and never be apart.

"Huaner, I..."

The wild man's thinking was very domineering and simple — if they wanted something, they gave you not the slightest chance to refuse. After Ying came down, Nan Qinghuan stopped him. "No."

During her period, it wasn't suitable to be together.

But Ying didn't understand why not. He wrapped his arms around her. "Huaner is worried about bad luck? No, I'm not afraid of bad luck. I'm not afraid of anything."

Saying this, he took hold of her hand. Nan Qinghuan pushed him away forcefully. Such an atmosphere left both of them somewhat breathless. "Don't. You'll get sick."

"Sick?"

Ying looked at her deeply. Under the sunlight, Nan Qinghuan's face had an indescribable charm. Every smile and frown of hers drove Ying mad with adoration. Though he very much wanted to be with her, hearing that it would cause illness, he didn't dare.

"Then get up quickly."

Seeing that he truly stopped pestering her, Nan Qinghuan truly believed that this man loved her to the bone. He cared about her words, cared about her thoughts, and he even more wanted to help him achieve great things in the Tribe.

While she was lost in thought, Ying's face turned a little red. He shyly took out a piece of Beast Skin, wanting to use it for her. "Huaner, try this thing. This way it won't get dirty."

"Beast Skin?"

She hadn't expected Ying to personally want to pad her with Beast Skin. She quickly shook her head. "This thing won't work. Who taught you this?"

Ying, a grown man, actually looked somewhat shy. He hemmed and hawed. "Axi said to use this. Huaner, let me help you."

"Axi?"

She suddenly felt that Axi was a terrible teammate. How could she teach Ying to pad a woman with this thing? "No need. This Beast Skin won't work — it's not breathable. I'll figure something out myself. Carry me back."

Seeing that she didn't want the Beast Skin, Ying tossed it aside, then took the tiger cloak and wrapped her up entirely. On the way back, the women of the Tribe were all gathering fruit. Nan Qinghuan poked her head out and saw the women working hard, and she suddenly thought that she had been here for so long, eating the Tribe's food and using the Tribe's things, yet had never let the tribespeople truly eat their fill.

"Ying, tomorrow I'm going to work alongside them too. I can't keep letting the tribespeople provide for me."

Hearing this, Ying smiled indulgently, then patted her head. "Silly Huaner, everything in the Ying Tribe is mine, which means it's yours too. You don't need to go work. They should provide for you."

"All yours?"

"Clan Leader."

"It's Om. Om, what's wrong?"

Those tribespeople all came over to greet them. Several women saw that Nan Qinghuan hadn't gone to the Treehouse. "Om, you're so lucky. When we get our bloody disaster, we all have to go to the Treehouse for isolation."

"Yes, Om. See how good Ying is to you."

These women all envied her, which made Nan Qinghuan feel even more that this matter needed to be resolved. If she didn't go into isolation, these women wouldn't have to go either in the future. But how to deal with that hateful old witch? She knew full well that the Remote Antiquity Era had many oppressive rules, and what she needed to do was still a long and arduous road — but she would implement it step by step.

"Don't worry. I'm not going into isolation, and from now on, neither will you."

Hearing this, the women seemed to think she was saying something outrageous. "Om, that's impossible. This is the Tribe's rule. The males all taboo this matter. If we don't go into isolation, they won't even want to look at us."

"Yes, Om. Our males aren't Ying."

Seeing the women's helpless expressions, Nan Qinghuan just gritted her teeth. "Wait and see."

After they left, the women were still gazing blankly in the direction they had gone. "Ying really dotes on Om. Even when she's brought bad luck, he still keeps her by his side."

"Yes, if only my Alü could find a male like that, how wonderful that would be."

"Don't even think about it. Qinghuan is a high-born Ape Tribe member. We can't compare."

"She's no Ape Tribe member. She's a Disaster Star. Ying is about to have bad luck."

A woman's voice came from behind. As soon as these words were spoken, several women immediately looked behind them, and actually saw...
