"Rabbit, wake up—we're here!"

Just when Lan Qingling was sleeping soundly on Nanzhou's back covered with animal skins, Nanzhou brought her to the gate of Taihao tribe.

Lan Qingling immediately rubbed her eyes, slowly sat up, and then looked towards the Taihao tribe that was right in front of her.

This is a tribe surrounded by wooden stakes as fences, with hundreds of simple tent-like houses built with animal skins, weeds and tree trunks.

At this time, the orcs at the entrance of the tribe and inside the tribe were looking at them with either curiosity or vigilance.

Some male orcs even pointed sticks at them.

"Please tell your clan leader that someone is coming from the west." Nanzhou did not take their actions seriously.

A male at the gate of Taihao tribe looked at Nanzhou and Lan Qingling on his back with suspicion, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes when he saw Lan Qingling.

Nanzhou could tolerate their unreasonable behavior for the sake of Aunt Ling and Wu, but he could not tolerate the look this male gave Lan Qingling.

"You two wait here—"

Nanzhou's cold and terrifying gaze slowly turned to the male in front of him, and the male who was looking at them turned around hurriedly.

Soon, a female who looked to be in her forties and a male of about the same age rushed towards them.

"Nanzhou——"

The female was excited to see Nanzhou.

"Tu'er, this is Aunt Ling."

Nanzhou slowly lay down, and Lan Qingling quickly jumped off his back.

Nanzhou saw that Lan Qingling had stood firmly, so he shook his body and returned to human form.

"Aunt Ling, Uncle Wu..." Nanzhou shouted at the newcomers.

"Tuer, come and call for help..." Nanzhou pulled Lan Qingling to his side.

"Aunt Ling, hello Uncle Wu~"

Lan Qingling quickly greeted Aunt Ling and Wu in front of her.

Aunt Ling is a female who looks very gentle.

She has a rough face, is half a head taller than Lan Qingling, is slightly bloated, has a dark complexion, and always has a warm smile in her eyes and on her face, which makes people feel good about her when they see her.

Wu has a very burly figure, a bit taller than Nanzhou, with muscular body and dark skin. His eyes occasionally flash with a gleam, making him look very fierce.

"Good boy, we haven't seen each other for a while, and you've found a partner. That's great! Haha." Wu patted Nanzhou's shoulder and laughed heartily twice. His fierce face instantly became kind.

Aunt Ling held Lan Qingling's hand tightly and said in a very intimate manner: "Is your name Tu'er?"

She liked Lan Qingling very much and kept holding Lan Qingling's hand.

Lan Qingling quickly shook her head: "No, Aunt Ling, my name is Lan Qingling, and Tu'er was given to me by Nanzhou."

"Aunt Ling, only I can call you Rabbit..." Nanzhou calmly took Lan Qingling's hand from Aunt Ling's hand and held it in his own hand, then pulled Lan Qingling back to his side.

"Okay, okay, then can I call you Xiao Ling?"

Aunt Ling looked at Nanzhou with amusement as he declared his sovereignty. After so many years, Nanzhou remained unchanged. He would not allow anyone else to touch anything that belonged to him.

“Okay, let’s go in first. Nanzhou and the others must be tired after traveling all the way here.

Ah Ling, where do you think we should arrange for Nanzhou and the others to live?" Wu approached Aunt Ling and asked in a low voice.

"He lives next to us, Nanzhou, what do you think, Xiaoling?"

Aunt Ling turned her head to look at the tall Nanzhou beside her and Lan Qingling, who looked even smaller as she leaned against him.

Nanzhou immediately looked at Lan Qingling, who nodded and said, "Sure, Aunt Ling."

As she spoke, Lan Qingling quietly raised her hand and gently pinched Nanzhou's hard waist, and Nanzhou shuddered immediately.

He couldn't help but look at Lan Qingling with some grievance: Tuer, why did you suddenly pinch me?

Lan Qingling ignored his gaze and turned her head away on purpose. Humph, didn't he know how nervous she was about meeting her parents-in-law? And he threw the question to her!

Nanzhou: Woo——Does his rabbit not like him anymore?

Aunt Ling watched their interaction from the side, with a look of relief on her face. Although the child was not her biological child, he was better than her own and finally someone loved him.

Wu Ze, who was next to Aunt Ling, looked at Aunt Ling with deep affection. Lan Qingling saw this scene when she turned around and couldn't help but smile secretly.

Nanzhou noticed her gaze and immediately took half a step forward, just blocking Lan Qingling's gaze from looking at Wu.

Nanzhou: What’s so good about him, an old man? Look at me, look at me, I’m prettier than him, Tu’er…

Lan Qingling was too lazy to pay attention to him and began to look around the Taihao tribe.

The females here had the same rough faces and dark skin as Aunt Ling, except that they were all skinny, with a piece of dirty animal skin wrapped around their upper and lower bodies, and their faces showed some sadness from the unsatisfactory lives they had led.

They were either carrying water or chopping wood with bone knives, while the strong males beside them sat by and watched coldly, occasionally yelling at them and scolding them for working too slowly.

Lan Qingling couldn't help but frown. What's wrong with these males?

Nanzhou, Aunt Ling and Wu beside her looked as if they were used to it and didn't think anything was wrong.

Lan Qingling frowned even more.

"What's wrong, Rabbit?"

Nanzhou noticed Lan Qingling's emotions at the first moment and asked in a low voice.

Wu and Aunt Ling also looked at Lan Qingling.

Lan Qingling didn't want to say it in front of Wu and Aunt Ling, so she shook her head and said with a smile: "It's okay, maybe I'm a little tired."

When Nanzhou heard Lan Qingling say that she was tired, he immediately picked her up and put her on his shoulders, then said to the stunned Aunt Ling and Uncle Wu: "Aunt Ling, Uncle Wu, where is our residence?"

Wu pointed to a black animal-skin house less than fifty meters away from them and said, "The black one..."

As soon as Wu finished speaking, Nanzhou disappeared with Lan Qingling, leaving behind only a fluctuating air.

After Nanzhou rushed into the house with Lan Qingling, he spread the animal skins they brought out on the stone bed in the house, then carried Lan Qingling to the bed, leaned over to her and asked in a low voice: "Tu'er, tell me the truth, what happened to you?"

Lan Qingling didn't know how to tell Nanzhou what she was thinking now.

After all, how the males treat their females is their business, and the females have no objections.

But on the other hand, she thought that this behavior was no different from the domestic violence she had seen in her previous life, which was extremely wrong and she should stop it immediately.

But this is Longxuan Continent, not the world she is from. What if these behaviors are normal here?

For a moment, Lan Qingling was extremely conflicted. She felt that her thoughts were a bit nosy, but she also felt that there was nothing wrong with her thoughts and that such behavior should be stopped.

"Rabbit?" Nanzhou saw that Lan Qingling didn't answer for a long time and her brows were getting deeper and deeper, and he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

"I'm fine, I just can't stand the way those males treat their partners." Lan Qingling shook her head and said:

"You are very kind to me. Qing, whom we met before, also respected Xi. Even Uncle Wu, whom we met today, respected Aunt Ling. But those males just now..."

Nanzhou was silent for a moment after hearing what Lan Qingling said. He was thinking about whether he should tell Lan Qingling that most females on Longxuan Continent were like this, and that he, Uncle Wu, and Qing were the exceptions...
