Chapter 256: Xiao Jin, Why Are You Here
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Su Ying felt a little woozy in her head. The wine of the Shepherd Tribe was a little too much for her.
She opened her eyes and saw a tall figure walking in. She subconsciously called out, “Xiao Jin, why are you here?”
The figure paused for a moment but still walked over to Su Ying’s bed.
“My head hurts a little. Help me massage it,” Su Ying mumbled.
The man sat down by the bed, but when his slightly cold fingertips touched her head, Su Ying woke up with a start.
In the next moment, a figure went flying out of the yurt.
Bai Sang’s body smashed into the snow viciously. If it weren’t for the thick snow, his bones would have been broken.
“Get lost. If you come again, I’ll make your head explode.”
Bai Sang grimaced in pain as he crawled up from the ground. He turned around and saw Yang Zhong standing not far away with an ominous expression.
“Tribal Chief…”
“Bai Sang, you must be tired of living. You were lucky that she didn’t take your life. If you do it again, you won’t be able to stay in the tribe anymore.”
Being chased out of the tribe was the most severe punishment. “Don’t be angry, Tribal Chief. I won’t do it again. I just like her too much.”
“And you didn’t even consider whether you have what it takes to take her? Scram.”
“Yes, Sir.”
Su Ying slept until noon the next day. She opened her eyes and yawned before sitting up.
She then walked to the outside of the yurt and saw Zhang Nuo waiting outside.
“City Lord Su, you’re awake.”
“Mm-hmm. I’m awake.”
“They’ve prepared breakfast over there. I’ll go get it for you, City Lord Su.”
“Thank you.”
Zhang Nuo brought breakfast over to Su Ying. After eating, she went to the yurt she was in yesterday to check on Ana’s condition.
The tribal chief was by Ana’s side. Ana had already woken up, but the pain from her wound was unbearable.
“City Lord Su, you are awake.”
“Mm-hmm. How is it? Did you fart?”
Su Ying asked such a direct question as soon as she arrived, causing everyone inside to feel bewildered.
Su Ying explained, “In your condition, you need to fart before you can eat or drink. It proves that your internal organs are already functioning normally.”
They didn’t really understand what she meant, but they knew that it was something important.
“I… I did,” Ana answered very shyly.
“Eat some liquid food like porridge these few days. Don’t eat anything too greasy. It’s not good for the recovery of your wound.”
“Alright. We’ll listen to you, City Lord Su.”
Su Ying stepped forward to change Ana’s dressing. After making sure that her wound was fine, she returned to her yurt.
“City Lord Su.”
Before Su Ying’s butt had warmed up the seat inside the yurt, she heard an unfamiliar voice.
Su Ying took a sip of warm milk and allowed that visitor to enter. It was an unfamiliar tribesman.
Zhang Nuo followed him in.
“City Lord Su, the warriors of the Shepherd Tribe want to meet you.”
That warrior looked at Su Ying and said, “City Lord Su, we would like to have a contest with you.”
Even though they had personally witnessed Su Ying’s prowess, as hot-blooded, combative warriors, they still wanted to experience it for themselves.
Su Ying looked at them. “It’s fine to compete, but there’s always a price to pay for winning or losing.”
The warriors didn’t understand what Su Ying meant for a moment.
“What City Lord Su means is that if you lose, you have to give her cattle and sheep,” Zhang Nuo explained helpfully.
Su Ying nodded to herself. It seemed that this kid had more or less understood the way she worked.
“Alright. If we lose one round, we will give a cow or a sheep.”
Su Ying lowered her eyes and downed the hot milk in her bowl in one gulp. It was as if she saw countless cows and sheep running madly toward her.
She placed the bowl on the table and stood up. “Let’s go.”
The news that Su Ying was going to compete with the warriors of the tribe quickly spread throughout the tribe.
The old and young, men and women in the tribe all flocked out to watch the show.
The officiating judge was the tribal chief of the Shepherd Tribe. He was also the strongest representative of the tribe’s valiant warriors. Su Ying was able to intimidate the tribal chief with just a few moves, and all of the combative warriors wanted to personally test Su Ying’s might. After all, they wouldn’t die!
Su Ying followed them to the arena, where they had formed a ring with hemp ropes.
“Whoever’s back lands on the ground first loses,” the tribe’s warriors said.
Su Ying nodded. “Alright. Who among you guys will go first?”
The warrior standing in the ring raised his chin and said, “I’ll go first.”
That warrior got ready for battle. After getting into position, he pounced on Su Ying.
Su Ying felt that since everyone placed so much importance on this contest, if she were to be too laid-back, it would be somewhat disrespectful. She held her breath and focused her mind. Her gaze quickly swept over the warrior. After determining the breakthrough spot, she suddenly dashed forward swiftly. Taking advantage of the momentum from the charging warrior, Su Ying grabbed his front lapel and belt and lifted him up straight away.
The moment the warrior’s body was suspended in the air, he was a little dumbfounded. Before he could figure out what was going on, his body flew out and landed on the ground with a bang.
Pow!
Zhang Nuo quickly took out a charcoal pencil from his bag and crossed out a name on the paper.
“Next.”
After everyone recovered from their shock, another warrior entered the ring. He was much taller than the previous warrior. When he stood in front of Su Ying, he resembled a small mountain. With such a huge difference in size, no normal outsider would think that Su Ying would win.
Su Ying curled her lips. “I think you’re worth at least two sheep.”
The warrior let out a furious roar and charged viciously at Su Ying in a manner that was intended to restore glory to the warriors of the Shepherd Tribe.
Pow!
Pow!
Pow!
Zhang Nuo felt that his charcoal pencil was going to be used up!
The image of the tall and ferocious Shepherd Tribe’s warrior was instantly destroyed in his mind!
Tribal Chief Yang Zhong looked at the warriors being thrown out one after another. When he thought of the cattle and sheep in the tribe’s sinkhole, he began to feel the pinch. He quickly stepped forward to stop the contest. If they continued competing, all their cattle and sheep would have to be given to Su Ying!
After the contest ended, Su Ying wiped the sweat off her forehead. It was winter, yet she was sweating from all the action.
She walked up to Zhang Nuo and asked, “How is it? How many did we get?”
“Not many, not many. Just fifty to sixty sheep.”
Fifty to sixty?
Su Ying glanced at Tribal Chief Yang Zhong. If it wasn’t for this fellow rushing over to stop the proceedings, she could have gotten some more.
“Alright. Let’s call it a day. I’m hungry. Let’s go.”
At night, the tribal chief paid out dozens of sheep and got people to send an entire roasted sheep to Su Ying.
Su Ying ate happily. She really wanted to live like this every day!
After confirming that Ana’s wounds were healing without problems, the tribal chief selected thirty people and three hundred cows and sheep to go with him and follow Su Ying to Sky Alpha City to take a look personally.
Su Ying was riding on a horse, her head wrapped in a thick woolen hat. If it wasn’t for the fact that she had to navigate, she wouldn’t even want to show her eyes. The wind was too strong, and it was making her eyes hurt.
The group passed through the canyon and came to the stream.
Su Ying looked at the stream. She couldn’t possibly knock all of them out one by one. The shepherds had lived here for so long, so they should have a way to cross it..
