Yuedan Chieftain Huhe Hao.

This name was not unfamiliar to Ji Yinshu. She knew more or less about his legendary stories.

It was said he grew up among wolves from childhood. At age eight, he had fought with wolves and torn off a wolf’s head, becoming a “hero” across the entire grassland. At thirteen, he went to war with his father. At such a young age, he was not only brave but also ruthless and cruel. After reaching adulthood, he led his people to run rampant across the grassland, his ambition becoming increasingly evident. His father, worried that he was too eager for quick success and would lead to Yuedan’s destruction, handed Yuedan over to his older brother Huhe Chi before dying. However, Huhe Chi was hesitant and indecisive, completely lacking ambition, ultimately causing the once unstoppable Yuedan to become a spent force, reduced to an object for others to slaughter. So Huhe Hao rebelled on the spot, killing his own brother. From then on, for over ten years, Huhe Hao led his tribal people to fight everywhere, destroying many surrounding tribes, and this name became one that struck terror throughout the entire grassland.

And human ambition is vast!

Huhe Hao’s ambition was even greater. What he wanted was not only to annex the grassland tribes, but also to lead his people to kill their way into the Central Plains.

To compete for supremacy over the world!

Ji Yinshu finally understood why the Yuedan people had set up camp here.

Because—

Their next target was Houliao!

For a hundred years, Houliao had been the overlord of this grassland. From birth they were a warrior nation, naturally bold and forthright, with flamboyant and fierce personalities. Pride flowed through their bones. They were typical Xisai people who had fought their way on horseback with real swords and spears to their current status, establishing firm roots in this grassland. Many tribes were intimidated and avoided them, no one daring to contend with them.

Now, with Yuedan’s continuous rise, between these two major tribes, it would surely be a fight to the death.

If Yuedan wanted to compete for the Central Plains, they must swallow this fat piece of meat that was Houliao!

If Yuedan was said to be a fighting male lion, then Houliao was a soaring eagle.

Evenly matched!

Ji Yinshu lay on the ground, her knees slightly aching. She propped herself up to sit, tightly clutching the clothing that Batu had just torn open. In this state, she was like a startled little white rabbit, yet those clear, tenacious eyes carried an unyielding pride.

Batu, covering his still-bleeding nose, both angry and aggrieved, complained to Huhe Hao, “Chieftain, you know what kind of person I, Batu, am. I never snatch other people’s things, and others shouldn’t think of snatching mine either. But this kid Bai Yin, he rushed in and demanded the person. This grievance, I cannot swallow.”

This kid had even learned to tattle.

Really a bear child.

Facing his accusation, Bai Yin remained expressionless.

Say whatever you want!

At worst, after going out, I’ll give you another beating.

Huhe Hao sat in front, his large hands placed on the table, with a sheep’s head hanging on the wall behind him.

His sharp eyes looked at Batu’s face, then looked at Bai Yin.

Then he stood up and walked over.

Huhe Hao naturally carried an imposing aura. From the moment he stood up, everyone in the tent involuntarily lowered their eyes, very respectful and fearful.

He walked before Batu and uttered one word: “Woman?”

That voice, low and powerful.

Batu: “Yes…”

“Useless thing.” He rebuked.

“Chieftain, it was Bai Yin who…”

“You’ve really lost face for us Yuedan men.” Huhe Hao reached out his hand and patted his face. “One woman made you end up like this. Tell me, are you trash?”

Batu’s whole body trembled. He lowered his head, but didn’t forget to glare fiercely at Bai Yin beside him.

Damn it, don’t leave after school!

Bai Yin was different from others. He didn’t seem to fear Huhe Hao. Before him, he always remained like an aloof snow wolf.

After rebuking Batu, Huhe Hao turned to look at him, his face serious, and more than that, disappointed. Then pointing at Ji Yinshu on the ground, he asked, “This woman, you like her?”

“Yes!” Bai Yin didn’t even think.

“Why?”

“Just like her.”

Brief and concise.

Ji Yinshu was stunned anyway. She couldn’t see through Bai Yin. The night before he had nearly crushed her to death, today he came with a “hero saves the beauty” act, and even said without concealment that he liked her. This person… what exactly was he thinking?

More importantly, she didn’t know him!

When hearing Bai Yin say “like,” a trace of mockery flashed across Huhe Hao’s face.

He said, “Bai Yin, we Yuedan men only have the world, not women.”

Reminding him!

Bai Yin’s eyes were firm, telling Huhe Hao, “I must have this woman!”

“Haha…” Huhe Hao laughed heartily.

That laughter made people fearful.

He raised his hand and patted Bai Yin’s shoulder heavily. “Bai Yin, oh Bai Yin, you’ve been by my side for so many years, never once opening your mouth to ask me for anything. The first time you ask me for something, it’s for a useless woman?”

Surprise mixed with disappointment.

Bai Yin glanced at Ji Yinshu, then said seriously again, “You can refuse to give her, but this woman, I’m determined to have.”

The only person in all of Yuedan who dared speak to Huhe Hao this way was probably just Bai Yin!

If these words came from anyone else’s mouth, they would probably already be dead without a complete corpse.

Huhe Hao forcefully patted his shoulder again, lips curling coldly, eyes darkening. He walked before Ji Yinshu, crouched down halfway, and gripped her chin.

Forcing her to meet his gaze.

The pain from her chin made Ji Yinshu involuntarily knit her brows.

She looked at that face so close at hand—not exactly handsome, but carrying the charm of a mature man, possessing the fierceness and domineering nature of a nomadic people. In those dark eagle-like eyes was even more ambition, like a bloodthirsty Tibetan mastiff.

Such a man was extremely dangerous.

As she examined this man, the man also examined her.

This woman couldn’t be called devastatingly beautiful.

She didn’t have Ji Wanxin’s beauty that made people’s hearts flutter at first sight, nor did she have Qin Xi’s appearance that made people feel protective.

What she had was just a face of pure serenity, and that spirit and wisdom in her eyes. She seemed indifferent to all things, and even facing this terrifying “Tibetan mastiff” before her, not a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.

Such a woman was extremely attractive.

Making people even more curious, wanting to investigate her thoroughly.

Even Huhe Hao was no exception.

That urgent feeling of wanting to explore was something he had never experienced before.

No wonder two men fought over trying to possess her!

Even Bai Yin, who had never made a request of him, would say he wanted this woman.

It must be said, his heart was moved too.

Involuntarily, the fingers gripping Ji Yinshu’s chin actually loosened somewhat.

“What’s your name?”

Ji Yinshu slightly raised her eyes to look at him, countering with a question: “Does it matter?”

“Haha…” He laughed.

This laughter was different from before.

Everyone knew this woman was about to become Huhe Hao’s prey.
