Chapter 86: I Trade Five Females and Ten Boars for Her

"First, let's take care of the first thing: I want Youchao Xuan to look at our tribe's terrain—can we build houses in this forest?"

"Houses?"

Axi has never seen what a house is, but Youchao Xuan just smiled. He is very good‑looking, with a head of silver hair fluttering in the wind, giving off an ethereal feeling.

"Heavenly Maiden need not look; the Clan Leader already took me to see it that day, no problem, but…"

"But what?"

Youchao Xuan looked a bit troubled. "The Clan Leader wants houses like those in the Otherworld, but in this forest we can't build that high, and having that many would block the sunlight. Most importantly, this place lacks water sources, I'm afraid…"

"You mean we have to move?"

Youchao Xuan nodded. "Yes, we need to relocate, but the Clan Leader refuses; he only recognizes this dense forest."

Nan Qinghuan hadn't expected the house to encounter problems before construction even began. She thought for a moment, "This is Ying's home; it's normal that he doesn't want to leave, and the tribe probably doesn't want to go either."

"I also don't want to leave here, Qinghuan. We grew up here from childhood and have never been elsewhere."

Youchao Xuan was somewhat helpless, shrugged, "So it's hard to deal with."

"Let me think of a solution for the water issue. Axi, take me to Liang He Liuyu so we can see where the Cannibal Tribe is actually hiding."

That A Yue just cursed her, saying the Cannibal Tribe would kill her. What connection does the Cannibal Tribe have with A Yue? She has to investigate.

Hearing that, Axi was startled and frightened, "Qinghuan, you want to go find the Cannibal Tribe? No way, it's too dangerous. If Ying found out, he wouldn't agree."

Nan Qinghuan shook her head, "A Yue just said the Cannibal Tribe would kill me; I suspect she is colluding with them."

"What, A Yue colluding with the Cannibal Tribe?"

The bonfire roared inside the Cave.

Ying arrived at the Cave where the Rongdi live, accompanied by Dashan and Ji Lei. When he arrived, the Cave was filled with members of the Rongdi Tribe.

Seeing the scene, Ying strode forward, "Rongdi, you have business with me?"

"Ying, sit down and speak."

Both men were still a bit upset over yesterday's matter; Ying glanced at him, "Didn't we settle it yesterday?"

"It was settled. I had people deliver Bow and arrow and the animal traps overnight; see if that's enough."

After saying that, someone outside carried in a large sack of traps. These traps were all made by the Rongdi Tribe; the tribe's animals are very useful.

Ying was pleased to see the traps; his tribe cannot make such traps, so they can only hunt with Bow and arrow and Spear.

He has always wanted to learn how to make these traps.

He took one and examined it closely; it was indeed well made. These traps are placed in the grass, and animals that can't see them get ensnared and captured.

"Indeed very good. Ji Lei, do you think it's enough?"

Ji Lei and Dashan were also pleased; he nodded, "Enough, Clan Leader, this is already sufficient."

The Rongdi, seeing Ying satisfied, then had someone bring out a map drawn on a Sheep Skin Scroll. "This is a map of the nearby area; I've located the Cannibal Tribe's settlement, but…"

Ying squinted slightly at the Rongdi, "But what?"

"The terrain in Liang He Liuyu is complex; if we attack and lure them out, we need proper bait, and that bait should be provided by Ying's Tribe."

Hearing that, Ying had no objection; with these good supplies the Rongdi brought, sending a few of his men was reasonable.

"Fine, I'll provide the bait. Then we act tomorrow."

After saying that, he stood up to leave, but the Rongdi suddenly called after him, "Wait, I want to trade something with you."

Ying instantly turned his head and looked at him gravely, "Things—what are we trading?"

The Rongdi, seeing room for negotiation, lightly clapped his hands, "Someone, bring the items up."

Soon, the Ji Nü brought five young beautiful women and ten huge boars. Seeing all that, Ying's brows tightened, "What do you want to trade?"

The Rongdi suddenly stood, then walked to Ying's side with a chuckle, patted Ying's shoulder as if making small talk, "I'll tell you the secret of making traps, and add these ten boars plus these five females, in exchange for Nan Qinghuan. Ying, you'll definitely profit."

"What are you saying? You want Qinghuan?"

Seeing his expression turn sour, the Rongdi withdrew his hand, "Trading all that for one female, you profit, Ying."

Hearing this, Dashan was quite pleased, "Ying, we can trade. I didn't expect a single Om to be worth so much; we'll trade with him."

Dashan hadn't expected that a tiny Nan Qinghuan could be exchanged for so many good things; five females could produce many male offspring, and those ten boars would last us until next year.

"Shut up."

Ying suddenly shouted and forcefully pushed the Rongdi back; the Rongdi staggered a few steps, almost losing his balance, and instantly the Clan Leaders of the two tribes nearly came to blows.

"Ying, what are you doing?"

Ji Nü immediately stepped forward and steadied the Rongdi, glaring at Ying fiercely, "Ying, you want to fight?"

The Rongdi also suddenly fluttered his wings, and his demeanor made both sides think a fight was about to break out, "Ying, what does this mean?"

Ying straightened his posture, his whole being exuding a chilling aura. He gave the Rongdi a cold glance, then turned his eyes to those items, his pupils pausing, "Take your items back. Even if you offered an entire tribe in exchange, I'm not interested."

Indeed, no one can surpass the importance of his females; this Rongdi has already set his sights on Huaner, and he is somewhat angry.

"You won't trade?"

The Rongdi never expected Ying to refuse the trade; all these things are needed by his tribe, especially the secret of the traps, which no one besides the Rongdi knows how to make.

Over the years he knew Ying also wanted to know what the secret was, but Ying actually rejected the offered items? Ying snorted coldly, not swayed by those things at all, "I won't trade. Nan Qinghuan is my destiny; I won't exchange her. Take your items back, and meet me at Liang He Liuyu at first light tomorrow."

After saying that, Ying turned away arrogantly, ready to leave, but the Rongdi suddenly called after him, "Stop."

Both men's auras were imposing; the Rongdi's gaze was cold as he looked at him, then he walked to a woman and gently pinched her cheek. The woman was terrified, shrinking her head and trembling.

"Look carefully, these females are the youngest and most beautiful in my tribe. Your tribe has many males without females; keeping them would benefit your people. Are you really not considering it?"

Ying didn't even glance at the females, "I've said it, no one outweighs Nan Qinghuan's importance. Dashan, Ji Lei, let's go."

"Ying."
