Chapter 90: The Wildman's Husband Is Jealous

"Quick, let the Great Shaman see."

The woman called Great Shaman glared at Nan Qinghuan with resentment, but was powerless; after she and a few female wildlings went to help, Abu then continued handing the Scepter to Nan Qinghuan, "Goddess, I beg you, do you really want to see everyone here slaughtered?"

Nan Qinghuan saw those children with blood‑soaked legs, the children crying nonstop, and her heart ached. If it were truly a misunderstanding, then today Ying and Rongdi would have killed the wrong people.

She felt conflicted, listening to the increasingly close sounds of fighting and the children's wails, when suddenly she noticed… above the clear blue sky there were… Beastmen of the Rongdi Tribe soaring in the air, seemingly about to shoot arrows down here.

"Bad, be careful."

Swish swish swish… countless Long Arrows shot downwards; the wildlings who couldn't dodge were hit instantly, and instantly this place became a living hell.

The painful roars caught Nan Qinghuan off guard.

"Stop, all stop."

Abu's leg was pierced by an arrow, lying on the ground bleeding steadily; Nan Qinghuan immediately ran up to protect him, "Leader, are you alright? Don't worry, I will heal you."

Abu looked at her with a pained face, then looked compassionately at his own tribe, "Goddess, I beg you, protect them; they have never eaten humans, they only eat big lumps."

Seeing this, Nan Qinghuan suddenly nodded forcefully, "Alright, I promise you, I promise to protect them. Youchao Xuan, tell the Rongdi people to stop."

Youchao Xuan was about to intervene when he suddenly saw… not far away, Ying came leading his tribe and the Rongdi, slowly approaching, while the retreating wildlings were being forced back toward this side.

"Goddess, Ying has arrived."

Ying, who was sitting on Xiao Guai, saw Nan Qinghuan crouching beside a wildling at first glance, his anger flaring as he shouted, "Nan Qinghuan, come here."

His eyes turned bloodshot, his face covered in fresh blood, looking as if he had crawled up from hell itself; on the way here he both worried about Nan Qinghuan's safety and resented her running around, and this time having caught her, he would definitely teach her a lesson.

Beside them, a Rongdi sat atop an Asian wild elephant, leisurely looking toward the tribe about to be annihilated, and his gaze quickly shifted to Nan Qinghuan.

This female is truly bold, daring to come alone to the Cannibal Tribe; I must say, the Rongdi became even more interested in her actions, eager to see what surprises she might still bring.

Nan Qinghuan was startled but didn't think further, instead she suddenly stood and looked toward Ying and the Rongdi.

Leader, we were defeated, we captured this female; she is in league with Ying and the Rongdi.

"Shut up."

Abu, despite the pain, ripped the Long Arrow from his leg; instantly blood gushed from the wound, then his lower leg; he endured the pain, stood up, and suddenly grinned at Ying and the Rongdi, "Ying, Rongdi, our tribe hasn't eaten your people; this is a misunderstanding."

Ying's eyes turned bloodshot, and he exchanged a glance with the Rongdi; the Rongdi nodded, signaling that he could act, yet he worried about Nan Qinghuan and Youchao Xuan standing there. "Nan Qinghuan, aren't you coming?"

Nan Qinghuan inhaled sharply, realizing Ying and Rongdi would not spare the remaining tribe; she clenched her teeth, looked toward the Archer, took a deep breath, "Ying, Rongdi, I now understand the situation here; they have never eaten your people, do not kill them."

Upon hearing that, Ying suddenly leapt down from Xiao Guai's back, coldly glaring at Nan Qinghuan, "What are you saying?"

"I am speaking the truth; I know you want to eradicate the Cannibal Tribe to avenge your own people, but Ying, Rongdi, I have shown Youchao Xuan; the people here only eat sweet potatoes and fish, not human flesh."

"Ying, it's true; the tribe here hasn't eaten people."

The Rongdi also stepped down from the elephant's back, then quickly moved forward; he glanced at Nan Qinghuan, then at the Scepter in her hand, his expression darkening, "You've become the Nushouling of this tribe?"

What? The members of Ying's tribe were stunned; Dashan and Ji Lei hadn't expected that Nan Qinghuan would suddenly become the Cannibal Tribe's Nushouling. What's going on? "Qinghuan, what's really happening?"

Ying strode forward to her side; people on both sides remained cautious, ready to fight at any moment. Nan Qinghuan looked at the wounded tribe members, clenched her teeth, lifted her head and looked at Ying, "Ying, they are misunderstood; the ones eating your people aren't them, but wild beasts. If you don't believe, you can ask the locals here?"

Ying gave her a deep look, then suddenly sneered, his gaze shifting to the still‑bleeding Abu, and said coldly, "You think that by deceiving Qinghuan into protecting you, I will spare your tribe?"

No way; their tribe ate his people, he will annihilate them!

Abu, knowing Ying didn't believe him, let out a deep sigh, his voice long and tinged with helplessness, "If you find any evidence in my tribe that we eat people, I, Abu, would consider exterminating my own clan as the will of the Heavenly God. But allow me to say this: we have never eaten humans; we can swear before the Heavenly God."

Hearing this, the Rongdi was silent for a moment, then waved his hand slightly and ordered his subordinate Ji Nü, "Search."

"Search."

Soon, the tiny Cannibal Tribe was thoroughly searched by the Rongdi's men; Ji Nü hurriedly brought up some items, "Leader, we found no people, only these."

She lifted them; in her hands were some wind‑dried, foul‑smelling fish strung together with green vines, plus some of the big lumps they chew, which are the sweet potatoes Nan Qinghuan mentioned.

The sweet potatoes were huge, still clinging to some dried mud.

Seeing this, Ying refused to believe, "If they had eaten people they'd be gone by now. Dashan, take Qinghuan away; leave no one here."

With that, Dashan prepared to escort Nan Qinghuan away, "Om, go back, don't anger Ying. Our purpose in coming here today is to annihilate the Cannibal Tribe and avenge our people."

Nan Qinghuan suddenly stepped back, which instantly sparked Ying's anger, "Nan Qinghuan, how dare you disobey?"

"Ying, calm down; it's now proven they haven't eaten humans. Do you still intend to exterminate them?"

Ying glared at her fiercely, seemingly angry that she defended those who killed his people; a chilling aura radiated from him as he coldly said, "Go back."

Seeing Ying stubbornly intent on killing the locals, Nan Qinghuan cast a pleading glance toward the Rongdi, "Rongdi, you came here to avenge your tribe, but now it's proven they are innocent; will you still wipe them out?"

The Rongdi hadn't expected her to ask him; seeing Ying's cold face, he fell silent for a moment, "Since they didn't eat my tribe's people, perhaps…"

He paused, his sharp gaze turning toward Nan Qinghuan, then murmured, "Release them."

"Rongdi, what are you doing?"

Nan Qinghuan, seeing the Rongdi willing to release the people, immediately looked at Ying, "Ying, you heard that even the Beastman Rongdi is so reasonable, why won't you spare them?"

She didn't mention that the Rongdi was fine; once she brought up Ying, his anger flared instantly, and he wanted to seize her and take her back to torment her, to make her understand those words shouldn't have been said.

"Nan Qinghuan, are you defending another male?"
