"If I dodge, how will you relieve your anger?" Yang Feng teased, "From now on, I'll be your punching bag."

"You're so foolish!" she cried, collapsing in his arms, then demanded, "What did you see?"

"Tell me the truth!"

"Uh..."

"Speak up!"

"It seems I saw everything... and I dressed you up too!" Yang Feng admitted nervously.

"Was it... ample?"

"Yes!"

Shoving him away furiously, Xue Ying seemed ready to tear him apart.

The three hurried back to the tribe, moving like shadows. Yang Feng kept a firm grip on Xue Ying, who, though annoyed, had no choice but to let him.

By the time they returned, night had fallen, and the tribe's bonfire dinner was in full swing. Tribespeople of all ages danced and sang around the fire.

"You’re finally back." Kalan Tu, waiting by the wooden building, greeted them. "Dinner has started. Come join us!"

"Sure!"

They followed Kalan Tu to the bonfire. Many young women danced joyfully, while some men joined in.

They learned that this bonfire was an opportunity for young people in the tribe to dance with their sweethearts. Intrigued, Yang Feng watched, but someone else jumped at the chance first.
