Chapter 485: Chapter 470: Tribal Trivia, Mu Qing relieved! (Fourth Update)_1

[Four more for subscription! Monthly ticket and recommendation, please!] Bathed in sunlight, a mountain city that appears to be cast in black iron glimmers with an icy metallic luster. This mountain city spans hundreds of miles, with six ancient mountains towering hundreds of feet high around it.

Within the whole tribe, there are countless auspicious pillars of life-energy, giving off a faint purple glow. Time and again, the sound of dragon chants echo across, and a serpent formed of purple haze, approximately thirty feet large, hovers and dances over the whole mountain city, swallowing the rich spiritual essence of heaven and earth.

At this moment, the whole mountain city is bustling with life. The city gate is thronged with crowds, with detachments of war soldiers roaring as they emerge, disappearing into the depths of the desolate ancient forest nearby. For a tribe with hundreds of thousands of people, the daily consumption of blood food is not a small amount, requiring the war soldiers to go deep into the desolate ancient forest to hunt a large quantity of blood food in order to sustain the entire tribe’s consumption.

Meanwhile, inside the mountain city, rugged men hew massive stones to construct some relatively refined stone houses within the undulating mountain city, in accordance with the mountain terrain. These houses are prepared as residences for the young girls who have arrived from Nianhua Battle Division.

On the distant Medicinal field and Medicine Mountain, girls who look like butterflies flitting amongst flowers methodically re-cultivate the old medicine that was transplanted from Hundred Flowers Mountain.

Although these old medicines have been removed from the site where they grew, they have been preserved inside the Mountain and River Seal World. Moreover, the new environment they’re in now is several times richer in the vital energy of Heaven and Earth than the original ancient mountain. Therefore, growing again is only a matter of time.

The occasional cacophony of the playful young girls makes the burly men constructing stone houses at the foot of the mountain sneak furtive glances in the direction of the medicinal field, swallow involuntarily, and muster even more strength in their bodies. Even though the tribal chief decreed that these girls cannot be coerced, they reasoned a few discreet peeks doesn’t count as a breach of that command.

Especially the young, unmarried warriors - on seeing the girls dancing amidst the flowers, they seem to have an invisible barrier in their hearts shattered. Their work becomes inadvertently slow, causing continuous teasing from the older warriors.

In the ancient mountains to the west of the tribe, flames surge into the sky, and waves of overwhelming heat emanate from the continuous eruption of golden-red magma. This is a place where geothermal magma has been burning for tens of thousands of years.

Roar!

Inside this fiery magma, a golden figure frolics and gambols as if it were a fish in water. The blazing magma seems like a plaything in its eyes. When excited, the golden figure lets out series of roars.

Whooo!

After frolicking amidst the flames for quite a while, the horse-like creature suddenly leaps out of the volcano’s mouth, its large golden eyes filled with mischief. With a slight tremor of its wings, a bunch of flames - capable of melting iron - hurtle towards a figure of Green Color standing at the edge of the crater.

"Little buddy, you’re being mischievous again!"

Greeted by the horse’s playful antics, the Green Shadow chuckles in amusement, causing the flames to dim instantly. With a swift wave of her hand, that’s as smooth as white jade, she snuffs out the oncoming flames, turning them into trails of black smoke that dissipate in the air.

Roar!

Seeing that its mischief was ineffectual, the horse didn’t continue its playful gallivanting. It spread its golden wings, landed by the Green Shadow’s side, lowered its head, and rubbed against the Green Shadow’s arm.

"Here!"

The Green Shadow, seeing the horse’s affectionate action, turned her light jade-coloured hand and revealed several medicinal pills in her palm. With a flash of golden light, the medicinal pills disappeared from sight.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

Swallowing the medicinal pills, the horse roared sequentially, expressing its gratitude.

The Green Shadow is none other than Mu Qing!

Ever since the horse followed Xiao Chen to the Ancient Yuan Battle Tribe, apart from Xiao Chen, the only one able to interact with the horse and get along harmoniously is Mu Qing.

Even Lin Cai Er couldn’t manage this. Although she and the horse are both renowned troublemakers of the Ancient Yuan Battle Tribe, they aren’t very amiable towards each other.

Ever since the horse arrived at the Ancient Yuan Battle Tribe, Lin Cai Er has been trying to get it to carry her as they flown through the void. However, the horse did not give her any face. Even though she tried to tempt it with pills, the horse simply ate the pills and flew away, leaving her shouting in anger each time but unable to stop it.

Roar, roar, roar!

At the mouth of the volcano, the horse roared continuously. Its golden wings folded back, and its head, cast in golden yellow, kept rubbing against Mu Qing’s arm, signaling her. However, Mu Qing didn’t understand this, leaving the horse quite frustrated.

"Qing Er, it wants you to mount and take a ride through the void. It is thanking you for always bringing it delicious food!"

Unbeknownst to Mu Qing, Xiao Chen had appeared behind her.

Since the War Masters returned yesterday, even though Mu Qing, along with the Grand Elder and others had greeted him in front of the mountain city, she left as soon as they entered. He couldn’t leave as he needed to accommodate the tribe members from Nianhua.

He understood the thoughts of this girl, who had grown up with him. The marriage alliance with the Nianhua Tribe must have given her a knot in her heart. Even though they hadn’t spoken since they returned yesterday, Xiao Chen knew what this young girl was thinking, just as Mu Qing understood him.

"Let’s go!"

Without waiting for Mu Qing’s answer, Xiao Chen picked her up and swung onto the horse’s back. With Mu Qing’s yelp, her body stiffened with surprise, seeming completely lost.

Roar!

Amidst the girl’s scream, the horse let out a long howl, flapped its golden wings, and disappeared from the city amid the watchful eyes of numerous tribe members, its hooves seeming to trample on thin air.

The surprised Mu Qing’s body still remained stiff, her face flushed with embarrassment. Caught off guard by Xiao Chen’s sudden actions, Mu Qing was left feeling dazed, despite her status as a tower realm martial artist.

"Eeek!"

Only after the horse had left the tribe’s mountain city far behind did the alarmed Mu Qing regain her senses. The red hue on her fascinating face hadn’t faded; in fact, it deepened further.

"So many people from the tribe are watching me, and I am the elder of the tribe. How am I supposed to face them in the future!"

Her voice was somewhat subdued, laced with a hint of shyness. Had it not been for Xiao Chen’s profound strength, he would not be able to hear Mu Qing’s words.

Mu Qing seemed to be somewhat ill at ease in Xiao Chen’s embrace, but did not push him away. Instead, she gently leaned back against him, their bodies close, his warm chest comforting her. It felt so perfect to keep walking this way!

"Ha ha!"

At Mu Qing’s complaint, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but laugh heartily, causing the beauty in his arms to blush with shyness.

They were flying in the sky, carried by the wind, with the four hooves of the heavenly horse stepping upon the relentless gusts. It wasn’t long before the horse landed on the peak of an ancient mountain.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

As Xiao Chen and Mu Qing dismounted, the little heavenly horse roared loudly. It’s golden eyes flashed with spirit, causing Mu Qing to blush once again. Under Xiao Chen’s stern eye, the little heavenly horse’s golden wings took flight, speeding off into the depths of the dense forest, eliciting roars from the beasts hidden within the forest.

With the heavenly horse gone, the two fell into silence. Standing on the mountaintop, overlooking the vast wilderness, ancient forests and the distant mountains, none of these caught their attention.

"Qing Er!"

"Brother Xiao!"

The sudden simultaneous utterances of these words instantly dispelled the awkward mood between them.

"Qing Er, this time Brother Xiao did not consider things properly. I originally intended to annex the Nianhua tribe and the marriage was aimed at Shi Ya and Xue Li. However, concerning the conditions raised by the former elder of the Nianhua tribe, Brother Xiao did not agree to them. Moreover, moreover...."

Seeing Xiao Chen speak hesitantly, Mu Qing couldn’t help but smile. Her radiant face lit up the entire mountaintop. It was the first time she saw Xiao Chen in such a hassle.

Despite the bullying by variant tribes, the siege by the same tribe, and the crisis of the tribe, Xiao Chen was always calm and resolute. Now he was showing weakness because of a woman, and more importantly, constantly explaining to her, which made Muqing feel sweet in her heart

"Now, the Nianhua Battle Division has been incorporated into my Tribe. I have issued a decree, men in the tribe are not allowed to force women into marriage. In the future, pay more attention to these girls who have joined our tribe, do not let them suffer any grievances. With time, the senior members of the Nianhua tribe will realize their worries are unfounded and the marriage will naturally fade away!"

When Xiao Chen finished speaking, Mu Qing remained silent, her eyes fixed on him. Xiao Chen couldn’t help feeling confused, wondering if something was wrong with what he had just said.

A little while later, Mu Qing finally spoke softly, "Since time immemorial, no matter how many disputes there have been, whether it’s raids from foreign tribes, or wars among our own people, the ones who suffer the most are always us women. Men spill their blood on the battlefield and when they die, that’s all. But the fate of women is far more tragic!"

"Thinking about it, I feel so lucky to have Brother Xiao, a man like you to watch over me. I don’t have to suffer torment because of tribal destruction and people dying. I wish we could live like this until the end of time!"

"But Qing Er understands, this is just a mere desire of mine. Ever since Brother Xiao took over as chief, it feels like you have become a different person, even more fascinating to Qing Er."

Mu Qing, while speaking, even stretched out her jade hand to gently caress Xiao Chen’s cheek. But Xiao Chen was bolder, and directly pulled her into his arms.

Allowing Xiao Chen to hold her in his arms, her pretty face resting against his chest, Mu Qing remained silent for a long time, taking in the peace of the moment.

"Brother Xiao, have you ever thought about it!"

After a long while, Mu Qing lifted her face to look at Xiao Chen’s cheeks, and spoke softly, "Even though you are not serious about marrying into the Nianhua tribe, word has spread far and wide. With the power you hold now, who in the Dragon Fall Territory would dare to marry women from the Nianhua tribe?"

"This....!"

Xiao Chen was left speechless.

Seeing Xiao Chen’s surprised expression, Mu Qing knew that her silly brother hadn’t fully considered the issue.

She gently stroked Xiao Chen’s cheek, let out a soft sigh, and then continued, "That’s why I said that nobody suffers more than we women!"

Once Mu Qing finished speaking, she simply nestled comfortably in Xiao Chen’s arms and fell silent.

Ancient Yuan Battle Division.

The setting sun was red like fire, smoke curling up, and the aroma of meat filled the mountain city. The large number of young girls brought endless vitality to the city.

Whoosh!

A golden streak flashed past, and the heavenly horse appeared above the tribe.

"The tribal leader, and Elder Mu are back!" Cries of surprise rose from the city.

"What Elder Mu, that’s the tribal leader’s wife!" Some people were laughing and shouting.

In mid-air, Mu Qing left Xiao Chen and swooped to a small stone tower housed in the tribe. At the window of the stone tower, a beautiful figure came into view, watching the figures in the air with a bewitching gaze. It was unquestionably Nianhua.

The next moment, the stone tower’s door opened, and Nianhua welcomed Mu Qing inside.
