n and won within the tribe, as long as they did not have children, whether they were united or separated, were all free. And no one would interfere too much about what they did, even the chief. More than a year had passed, and Yi Jia knew that Naonao still had not given up completely her heart for Li Mang. And it seed as if she was unwilling to disclose their relationship in front of the tribe.

This made him feel as if he had miscalculated his move, made him feel defeated. But that didn’t matter, what mattered was that he had to seize this opportunity, to have one last bargaining chip for the next tribal leader election. After returning from that one-man hunt, he heard about the woman who was standing in front of him for the first ti.

The people in tribe talked about her behind her back as if she was a different kind, but none of these things attracted his attention.

The only thing that interested him was that he heard that Li Mang had exchanged her, this female captive who was supposed to be offered as tribute to the chief, for a strange object that could allow one to see thousands of miles away. The old chief regarded that object as a treasure, and even Naonao wasn’t allowed to touch it too much.

He didn’t believe it at first, but one ti when Naonao secretly took it out to show him, he finally believed that such a thing indeed existed in this world. A scene that could not be seen by the naked eyes, no matter how far one looked, could be clearly seen through the two round holes, as if the scene was pulled in front of him. He imdiately sharply thought that when he goes to conquer other tribes in the future, this thing would add wings to his might during the war.

This strengthened his determination to beco the chief. But he was also very curious. Where did Li Mang get this object? Since he got this thing, he must have cherished it very much, but now, he unexpectedly gave up such a heavenly and divine object in exchange for an insignificant female captive?

He t this woman for the first ti at the tribe’s election assembly the next day. At that ti, he was so disappointed that he lost by a narrow margin to Li Mang, who had been chosen to beco the next chief of the tribe. Then he heard the cry of a child outside the crowd, and subconsciously his gaze followed the noise, and that is when he saw Youyou and the woman beside her.

At first glance, he felt that the object that Li Mang had offered to the old chief was definitely related to this woman. She looked too different from the won here. Whether it was her appearance or the look in her eyes. He had always been confident in his instincts. But at that ti, he was too dejected, too imrsed in his own frustration from being defeated, that he did not have the mind to pay too much attention to others.

He quickly picked his spirits up. He was very satisfied with himself on this aspect, like a beast, if injured, it would lick its wounds until they healed. And so would he. In just one nightti, he told himself that Li Mang hadn’t yet beco the chief of the tribe, and even if he was, it didn’t matter, he would wait for the right opportunity to turn the situation back. And getting the support of Naonao and her father, had never been a more pressing issue. The most direct way was to have Naonao get pregnant with his child and truly beco his woman.

Naonao had never gotten pregnant, whether it was with Li Mang or later with him. But he wasn’t worried that she would have a fertility problem, because there was no other woman in the tribe who seed better suited to bear offspring than her. He believed that from now on, as long as he worked hard, Naonao would definitely bear his fruit like a crop field. So based on his previous experience, he waited for Naonao to be around that period, to ask her to go to the stream outside the forest. At that ti, she was still unhappy and a little angry with him, but it didn’t matter, she quickly surrendered to his attack, just like before. As he was about to leave, he found her hidden behind the grass.

At that mont, he could have bet ten snakeskins that he saw panic and fear in her eyes. But almost in the blink of an eye, those emotions disappeared, and she no longer seed to be very afraid of him.

And without even thinking about it, he blocked her from making an appearance and took Naonao away before she could notice anything.

When he later recalled the actions he did without even thinking at that ti, he finally ca to the conclusion that he had beco interested in her, and the corresponding will to fight also followed along.
