Chapter 55

~End of chapter 54

Yi Jia had a great dream that one day he would put an end to the frequent bloody struggles between tribes for food and women, he wanted to make everyone overthrow the idols they originally worshiped and instead worship him, as well as the sun god in his mental view, and he, Yi Jia, would become the true king ruling over this vast land.

His blood was boiling for this ideal. He and Li Mang had always been playing a fair game.

Everything he did was done with a clear conscience, except for one matter: Naonao.

Chapter 55

(18.2)

Naonao was the daughter of the old chief and a renowned beauty in the tribe. The three of them grew up together. She was young and beautiful, and she was very attractive to men. Yi Jia was also attracted to her, but besides that, he valued her blood ties with the old chief.

The tribe promoted fair elections, but at a critical moment, if the old chief was willing to speak up for him, it could be a capital not to be underestimated, for even one of his words might directly influence the thoughts of most people in the tribe. So, Yi Jia had wanted her for a long time, even if she had taken a fancy for Li Mang in the first place. Compared to Li Mang, who was oblivious to the relationship between men and women, he was confident that his gentle, considerate and deliberate flattery would definitely move Naonao.

And, as expected, he succeeded, and Naonao was easily caught in his hand, and she continuously maintained a relationship with him in secret. She complained in front of him more than once, that Li Mang only chose to sleep with her during those days, which made her very unhappy, but she was helpless about it.

After hearing those words, he laughed so much he almost couldn’t breathe. Both he and Li Mang had the same sensitive sense of smell, like a leopard, they could keenly smell the different smell that emanates from a woman’s body every once in a while, which was a reminder to the man that she was ready for reproduction. He grew up with Li Mang, and was aware that he had always been rigid and rigorous, but to hear that he would strictly abide to this hunter rule that had been transmitted from generation to generation in the tribe but that had long since become only nominal, Li Mang was probably the only one. Yi Jia laughed for days because of this.

He and Naonao maintained this secret relationship for a long time, and he even felt that he was starting to love her a little. The only thing that made him a little unhappy was that Naonao didn’t seem to lean towards him more. The relationship she had with him seemed more like she was doing it just to get the satisfaction she wasn’t getting with Li Mang. And he had to make Naonao give up on her heart for Li Mang, and be with him completely. It was not only for power, but also for his self-esteem as a man. So, one day, he deliberately planned to let Li Mang know about his and Naonao’s relationship. With his understanding of Li Mang, his pride would not tolerate a woman who did not belong entirely to him. And as expected, his purpose was achieved.

Naonao’s performance especially helped him. When she explained to Li Mang, she actually said that in the future, she could be with the two of them at the same time, just like some families in the tribe.

When she said this, she must not have known that sharing a woman was a symbol of incompetence and shame for men. If the conditions could allow it, he believed that every man in the tribe dreamed of possessing several women at the same time, just like the chief could.

Li Mang withdrew from the competition just as he expected. He was furious and astonished at first by Naonao’s explanation, but he very soon turned away and left. From this moment on, he sometimes still took care of Naonao, for this was a habit formed since childhood, but he probably never slept with her again, and that meant, he no longer regarded her as his own woman. Because every time Naonao went to pester him and came back after hitting a wall, she would vent her anger on him.

That matter happened almost a year ago. This incident also hurt the relationship between him and Li Mang. Since then, they were not as close as they used to be. It was a pity, but he didn’t regret it.

In fact, even if there was no Naonao between him and Li Mang, there would still be a break one day. Li Mang was an excellent hunter, even better than him, he admitted it, but he was definitely not the best candidate for the position of the chief of the tribe.

The people under his leadership might be able to live a stable and self-preserving life, but only he, Yi Jia was the one who could truly lead the tribe towards strength and prosperity.
