Rebirth, Acknowledging a Master
After calming Zi Furong down, Hua Qiang then proceeded to remove the curse power from the bodies of Xiao Yuting and the other girls.
Having absorbed so much curse energy, Hua Qiang felt that his curse technique had risen to a new level.
Even his physical fitness has improved slightly.
He could imagine that his Blood Qi had increased a bit, but probably not by much, and he had no interest in checking the Void Panel.
The group of girls hugged each other and cried, then burst into silly laughter. They laughed for a while, then cried again, their faces streaked with tears, yet laughter lingered within them.
Hua Qiang couldn't help but admire the girls' ability to manage their expressions; he really wanted to award each of them a Little Gold statuette.
Thump thump!
Twenty girls knelt down on the ground in unison and kowtowed repeatedly to Hua Qiang.
Hua Qiang was bewildered by the girls' actions, so he quickly waved his hand and helped them up from the air.
"What are you doing? Even if you want to thank me, there's no need for this."
If you really want to thank me, then go and get me some good food to treat my stomach.
Zi Furong and the other girls were rendered unable to continue by Hua Qiang's series of bizarre actions.
But the next moment, smiles appeared on their faces, and they cheered and ran off in all directions.
Some gathered firewood, some hunted wild animals, some searched for wild vegetables, and some picked wild fruits...
An hour later, a delicious meal with a mix of meat and vegetables was presented to Hua Qiang.
Hua Qiang, of course, didn't stand on ceremony and began to eat and drink heartily. Seeing how happily Hua Qiang was eating, the girls' faces lit up with smiles once again.
Even their eyes sparkled with a sense of happiness.
After Hua Qiang had eaten and drunk his fill, Zi Furong led Xiao Yuting and 20 others, who lined up in two rows and bowed respectfully.
Then what they said left Hua Qiang speechless once again.
"I've seen a peony!"
From now on, we will be your servants, young master. We will do whatever you ask us to do.
If you tell us to kill, we'll kill!
From now on, we belong to you, young master, even in death. We hope you will not despise us!
"What... what are you doing? Are you kidding me?"
Hua Qiang was truly astonished by them.
"Young master, no, we're serious!"
Looking at the determined gazes in their eyes, Hua Qiang couldn't help but smile gently.
"Alright, since you have made up your minds to follow me, I will not let you suffer any injustice, nor will I mistreat you."
In the near future, you will prove that your choice was correct!
"From now on, you can call me... Young Master!"
"Yes, young master!" the girls replied in unison.
"Young master, please save our tribespeople! They are suffering terribly!"
"Young... Master!"
Zi Furong stepped forward, grabbed Hua Qiang's hand, and shook it twice, pleading with a hint of coquetry, "Young Master, please, save my mother, save the elders, save the old, weak, women, and children in the tribe..."
"From now on, they will all follow behind the young master and become his loyal servants!"
Hua Qiang raised his hand and ruffled Zi Furong's fluffy hair, saying, "Since you all call me Young Master, how could I possibly stand by and watch someone die?"
If your tribespeople are your relatives, then they are also my relatives, Hua Qiang's relatives.
Let's go, lead the way!
"Oh, yeah, young master is amazing! Long live the young master!"
"Hmm, who just cursed me?"
Hua Qiang pretended to be angry as he looked at the girl who had just shouted "Long live!"
Bai Xiaofang lowered her head quickly, sticking out her tongue and making a face.
"Little girl, let me tell you, I, your young master, will live far beyond ten thousand years. I will live as long as heaven and earth, shine as brightly as the sun and moon, and may even surpass the Heavenly Path Dao in the future..."
A clap of thunder sounded in the sky.
"Depend on!"
Hua Qiang raised his middle finger towards the sky.
Hahahaha!
Seeing Hua Qiang's displeased and domineering attitude, everyone laughed happily.
Several people were doubled over and then squatted on the ground, clutching their stomachs.
I and this master seem quite interesting!
The group walked through the woods and into a misty valley. After walking for more than ten miles, they arrived at a rocky cliff face.
Several fully armed girls were on duty here. When they saw Zi Furong and her group arrive, they all came over to greet them.
"Sister Furong, you're back! How was the harvest this time?"
"Xiao Cui, Xiao Li... everyone has worked hard!"
As for this harvest, well... I'll keep you in suspense for now. You guys come with us to the camp, and I have some incredibly exciting news to tell you.
"Sister Furong, now that we're all gone, who will guard the gate?" Na Xiaocui Wen Dao suspiciously.
The others were also looking at Zi Furong, wondering why she had said that.
"It's alright, we might not even need to guard this gate anymore."
The girls' eyes widened. They had reason to suspect that Zi Furong might have mental problems, but why would she say that?
However, since she made this arrangement, she must have had her reasons.
This is the Young Chieftain, the future leader of the tribe. They don't want to disobey him, otherwise they'll be in trouble later.
A group of people walked up the mountain path for a distance and came to the entrance of a stone cave.
After entering the stone cave and walking for a while, the cave gradually became more spacious.
After walking a little further, a bright and open world suddenly appeared before me.
In front of Hua Qiang lies a cascading waterfall, a fragrant valley filled with birdsong and lush greenery.
The valley is very large, with a wide open space in the middle, surrounded by mountains. Many wooden houses are built along the mountainside, forming a circular layout.
The houses are built against the mountain, rising higher and higher, giving them an artistic and layered appearance.
Some middle-aged women were busy with their own things in the open space, while many children ran around them, laughing and playing, creating a very harmonious scene.
However, their complexions were not good, as if they were malnourished. Their clothes were also very simple, some of them had patched clothes, and many children were barefoot.
It was autumn, and the mountain breeze was a bit chilly. The children's feet were all red and swollen.
"Ah, Sister Furong and the others are back!"
"Mother, Grandma, look! Sister Furong and the others are back from the hunt! We can finally have some time to prolong our lives again!"
Seeing the scene before him, and especially hearing the hidden meaning in the children's naive words, Hua Qiang couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat.
These people are so pitiful!
"Hibiscus, how was the harvest?"
A gentle voice came from the tribal meeting hall.
