Chapter 431 Walking on Two Legs, Anu

This woman is the current chieftain of the Bai Miao tribe, the Southern Barbarian King.

After Ling'er's mother died, her husband, the former chief of the Bai Miao tribe, died on the battlefield while protecting his tribe. The current Nanman King took her husband's place in the war and assumed the responsibilities of the Bai Miao chief, a position he held for ten years.

The Southern Barbarian King quickly helped Gai Luojiao up, saying, "General Gai, we are like sisters, I told you long ago that there's no need for such a grand ceremony."

Gai Luojiao said, "There is a distinction between ruler and subject, especially since this is in front of the Prince's residence. I haven't seen you, Clan Chief, for many days."

Clan Chief, this is the High Priest's daughter, Zhao Ling'er!

Beside her was her husband, Murong Fu.

The Southern Barbarian King had long noticed this perfect couple. She had watched Zhao Ling'er grow up since she was a child and recognized her at a glance.

Now that Gai Luojiao has confirmed it, the Southern Barbarian King quickly grabbed Zhao Ling'er's hand and said, "Ling'er, do you still remember me? I'm your A Shuang A Ni! It's been ten years, and you've grown so much!"

I've missed you so much these past few years!

In the Miao ethnic group, "Ani" means aunt, "Aniang" means aunt, and "Ashuang Ani" means Aunt Ashuang.

Ling'er stared at the beautiful woman before her with her large, dark eyes, just like Xing'er's. At first, she also felt that the woman looked very familiar, but after being reminded, she immediately grabbed the woman's hand and said, "A-Shuang, A-Ni! You're A-Shuang, A-Ni! Ling'er has missed you so much all these years!"

During his years on Immortal Spirit Island, Zhao Ling'er mainly missed his mother Lin Qing'er and his cousin Murong Fu. At other times, he would also think of his relatives, elders, and playmates in Miao territory.

As they spoke, they embraced, both with tears welling in their eyes.

After the two separated, Zhao Ling'er immediately took Murong Fu's hand and said to the Southern Barbarian King, "Ani, this is my husband, Murong Fu."

He and General Gai protected me and brought me back.

Gai Luojiao quickly replied, "Young Master, you flatter me. Young Master Murong's martial arts are unparalleled, and in my opinion, he is no less skilled than Bai Yue."

To my shame, I was also under the protection of Young Master Murong throughout this journey.

Although Gai Luojiao knew that the Southern Barbarian King was not the kind of person who would change his mind depending on the wind, as his subordinate, she still had to report Murong Fu's abilities to him immediately to prevent any possible accidents.

She has always been a bold yet meticulous person.

The Southern Barbarian King's eyes lit up upon hearing this. He had thought Murong Fu was merely handsome, but he hadn't expected him to be so powerful as well.

The Bai Miao people have been suppressed by the Hei Miao people for years because they lack experts who can rival Baiyue.

Fortunately, in recent years, the wars between the two tribes have only involved those below the Grandmaster level; otherwise, the Bai Miao tribe would have been unable to withstand the onslaught long ago.

If Murong Fu can rival Baiyue, it would be truly good news for the Bai Miao tribe.

However... the Southern Barbarian King's gaze returned to Zhao Ling'er.

The real problems in their Miao region still need to be solved by Zhao Lingji.

Once the Southern Barbarian King understood the situation, he pulled Zhao Ling'er aside and said, "Ling'er has truly found a good husband... Young Master Murong, thank you for everything you have done for Ling'er. Our Bai Miao tribe will forever remember your kindness."

Let's go inside. I've already instructed the kitchen to prepare a feast to welcome you.

Food is the most important thing for people. No matter where they are from, from royalty to commoners, they all need to have a meal to celebrate or welcome others.

Zhao Ling'er and Murong Fu sat on either side of the Southern Barbarian King, in the most honored seats.

After several rounds of drinks and dishes, the Southern Barbarian King asked, "Ling'er... General Gai should have told you that our Miao region is short of water."

"Your mother always had a solution before... could you... perhaps try to pray for rain, just like she did?"

In fact, when the Water Spirit Orb was present, most days were blessed with favorable weather. Only on rare occasions was there insufficient moisture, requiring the High Priest to use additional magic to activate the Water Spirit Orb to bring rain.

But now that the Water Spirit Orb is gone, Southern Xinjiang is completely helpless.

Zhao Ling'er was also in a dilemma after hearing this, even though she knew the Water Moon Palace's magic: the Water Talisman.

But this was a drop in the ocean for the entire Southern Frontier, so she could only shake her head sadly and look at Murong Fu.

Zhao Ling'er has now developed a path dependency; whenever she encounters a problem, she wants to see if Murong Fu can solve it. But this time, just like before, Murong Fu confidently said, "This is easy."

The Southern Barbarian King slammed his fist on the table in surprise, exclaiming, "Young Master Murong, you can summon rain?!"

Murong Fu shook his head and said, "I don't know how to pray for rain."

If he masters the seventh level of the Hun Tian Bao Jian, the Indigo Ocean, then praying for rain will not be difficult.

However, without the Water Spirit Orb, this level is very difficult to practice.

However, if you have the Water Spirit Orb, you don't need to practice this; you can summon rainwater directly.

Murong Fu naturally knew that he could obtain the Water Spirit Orb ten years ago, but since this thing involved changes in time and space, he was a cautious person, so he felt that there was no need to place all his hopes on the Water Spirit Orb.

We can definitely take two approaches: start with one and get the Bai Miao people involved.

Murong Fu took out classic texts such as the "Essential Techniques for the Common People" from his personal storage space and placed them on the table.

Murong Fu said, "This is the theory and practical guidance on well digging in Han China. You should mobilize people to get to work."

When I arrived, I noticed that instead of keeping so many troops training there, they should mobilize them to dig wells.

When Murong Fu came, he observed him with his divine sense.

The people of this Miao region have certain skills in collecting water from various sources, but these skills are completely unsystematic.

It's estimated that it was figured out over the past ten years.

He secretly thought to himself that although the Miao region didn't have much contact with the Han people, the roads weren't completely blocked. Learning well-digging techniques from the Han people and working together to dig wells would be more reliable than those vague and unreliable rain-seeking rituals...

As Murong Fu finished speaking.

A female general at the lower seat said, "Young Master Murong, you make it sound so easy. We've dug before, haven't we? No water! Ten years of drought! And there's still no water in the well!"

When he arrived, Murong Fu also saw that there were wells in Dali City, some old and some new, but they were all completely dry.

Clearly, they lacked the experience and knowledge to search for water sources.

The Miao region was previously protected by the descendants of Nuwa and the Five Spirit Pearls, so the weather was too favorable. Ten years had just allowed them to get used to hardship, but they hadn't yet reached the point where they would do anything to survive.

When Gai Luojiao saw that someone dared to impersonate Murong Fu, she immediately said, "Ayu! You are not allowed to speak to Young Master Murong in such an attitude!"

He is the young master's husband, and the benefactor of our Bai Miao people!

The Southern Barbarian King immediately said, "Ayu, go down and reflect on your actions."

But the female general named Ayu turned her head away and snorted coldly, saying, "Clan leader, Sister Gai, I refuse to accept this!"

Although she was a woman, she was eight feet tall and had a waist circumference of eight feet.

She hated pretty boys more than anything in her life, and Murong Fu's image completely fell into her no-go zone, so she had a preconceived bad impression of him.

Murong Fu wasn't angry, just resentful...

He stood up, walked to the map of Dali hanging on the wall, took out a pen from his personal space, and circled three small circles in three locations.

He then said, "If you dig wells in these three places as the book says, you will definitely find water."

By the way, start with the northernmost one; it's the shallowest there, only nineteen feet deep to reach the surface.

77

After saying that, he looked at the crowd and asked, "Does anyone know where the Qilin Cave is?"

"Anu knows!"

Just then, a girl came in from outside and skipped and hopped to stand behind Murong Fu.
