When Xu Yuehuai and the others saw their reunion, their eyes couldn't help but fill with tears.

"Chief, let's head back! Sister A-Cai is pregnant and shouldn't stay in this icy place for too long," Xu Yuehuai reminded them after seeing that the two had been full for a while.

"Yes, yes! I'm so happy I'm almost delirious!" The chief hugged A-Cai and grinned sheepishly.

Ah Cai wiped away her tears and punched him lightly.

The group then continued their journey, crossing the icy lands and returning to familiar territory.

As they drew closer, the atmosphere in the camp grew increasingly lively.

Afu and the others had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Xu Yuehuai and the rescued women, their excitement was palpable.

Afu rushed forward and hugged You'er and her mother tightly. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he choked up, unable to speak. He just kept stroking their cheeks to make sure that this was not a dream.

The leader also hugged Acai tightly, his eyes reddening.

"Ah Cai, thank you for waiting for our rescue. Thank you for not giving up your will to survive at that time."

Afu came to Xu Yuehuai's side and led You'er and her mother to kneel and worship her.

"Thank you, Holy Maiden! You not only rescued our loved ones, but you are also the pride and hope of our tribe!"

"Holy Maiden! Our clan is willing to serve you for all eternity!"

The clansmen also knelt down on the ground, paying their respects to Xu Yuehuai with the utmost reverence.

This scene is both an acknowledgment of her heroic act and an expression of boundless hope for the future of the tribe.

Xu Yuehuai quickly stepped forward and helped everyone up one by one, her smile warm and humble.

"Please rise, everyone. This is what I should do, and it's also a victory for us all. Don't be shy, relax and enjoy your time with your families!"

Laughter and cheers erupted, and Xu Yuehuai sat down around the campfire with the chief and tribal elders to discuss matters.

"We must strengthen the defenses of the tribe as soon as possible, so that our loved ones can no longer be harmed," the chief said first.

"At the same time, we will send envoys to establish friendly relations with other tribes and jointly resist external threats," Xu Yuehuai added.

“Yes, this will not only enhance our strength, but also promote communication and understanding between tribes.” Afu nodded in agreement.

The discussion was lively and in-depth, with everyone contributing their own efforts to the future of the tribe.

As the reconstruction and revitalization of the tribe proceeded in full swing, a joyful morning arrived at the chief and Acha's home.

Sunlight streamed through the window, gently illuminating the small crib where their daughter lay peacefully, her little face radiant with the rosy glow of new life and pure innocence. Her arrival not only brought endless joy to this small family but also brought new hope to the entire tribe.

Xu Yuehuai stood by the bed, gazing tenderly at the tiny life, her heart surging with unprecedented emotions. She gently reached out, her fingertips lightly touching the little girl's forehead. A warm and gentle power flowed slowly from her palm—the purest power resulting from the fusion of the red and blue rose stones within her, carrying protection and blessings.

Suddenly, as if illuminated, a blue and red mark appeared on the little girl's forehead, shining brightly like the brightest star in the night sky.

Xu Yuehua smiled slightly, her eyes full of relief and anticipation: "From now on, she will be the successor of the Holy Maiden, and she will lead our tribe to a more glorious future."

Upon seeing this, the chieftain and Acai were moved to tears. They tightly grasped Xu Yuehuai's hands, their gratitude overflowing: "Thank you, Holy Maiden! You not only saved us, but also brought such precious hope to our tribe."

Xu Yuehuai shook her head slightly, a hint of weariness flashing in her eyes: "This is my mission as a saintess. But please remember, true power comes from within, not from anything external. I hope you can nurture her well and help her become a leader with love, wisdom, and courage."

After saying that, Xu Yuehuai slowly turned around and left the room with slightly unsteady steps.

Back in her secluded cave, she finally couldn't suppress the surging blood within her body, and a mouthful of blood gushed out, staining her clothes red.

She endured the pain, closed her eyes, and tried to calm her body and heal her injuries.

However, she knew that transferring such immense power to a newborn baby would undoubtedly be a huge sacrifice and backlash for her.

"Perhaps, I really don't have much time left in this world." Xu Yuehuai thought to herself, but her eyes were unusually firm. "But I must seize the time and do more for them."

She took a deep breath, forced herself to sit up, and summoned her most trusted men, Yan Qing and Wang Mang.

Upon seeing this, the two men quickly stepped forward to help her up.

"Yan Qing, Wang Mang, I have a few things I need you to do." Xu Yuehuai's voice was weak, but still clear and strong. "First, I want you to divide all the red rose stones into several parts and hide them in secret places around the tribe. These gems are key to any crises we may encounter in the future. If one day we return, these gems will become our weapons to defend against foreign enemies."

Yan Qing and Wang Mang dared not slack off in the slightest and quickly nodded in agreement.

Xu Yuehuai continued, "In addition, you must strengthen the tribe's defensive fortifications, train more warriors, and improve their combat capabilities. At the same time, develop agriculture and handicrafts to ensure the tribe's economic self-sufficiency and long-term growth."

"Yes! We've all remembered!" Yan Qing replied.

"Little sister, you should lie down and rest. We'll take care of it right away! Don't worry about it!" Wang Mang pulled Yan Qing away.

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Xu Yuehuai felt a strange pang of sorrow welling up inside her.

She knew she might not be able to witness the tribe's resurgence, but she believed that with the combined efforts of the chief, Achae, and all the tribespeople, the tribe would surely make it to the end.

In the days that followed, Xu Yuehuai devoted almost all her energy to the construction and planning of the tribe.

She personally guided the younger generation in martial arts training, teaching them how to use the power of red and blue rose stones, and how to apply it to face powerful enemies.

In the stillness of the night, she sat alone in front of the cave, gazing at the starry sky, reminiscing about Qi Guze and the others.

She knew that her life was about to end, but she had no regrets about her choice, because she had given everything for this tribe and for the people she loved.

On a bright and sunny morning, Xu Yuehuai experienced the last moments of her life.

She lay quietly on the stone bed in the cave, a peaceful smile on her face, as if she could already see the future prosperity of the tribe.

"Goodbye, my people," she murmured in her heart, then slowly closed her eyes, transforming into a dazzling blue light that merged into the land she loved so dearly.

At the same time, Yan Qing and Wang Mang were also summoned and left with her.
