Ah Chen scanned them one by one--
The women around them, whether aunties or young girls, all had deep feelings for the Miao people in their eyes.
Several of the closest women held Ah Chen's hands.
They all wanted to pull them along.
Ah Chen lifted up, wiped away the tears from the aunt's eyes, and said with a smile, "Ling Nu is just a little sister. If I, a Miao man, were to get angry with her, wouldn't that be too petty!"

"Ah Chen, are you really not angry?" Auntie was still worried.

The women had no idea how wealthy their future Miao king would be.
They don't care about that; they only recognize Ah Chen.
Meanwhile, the kind-hearted Ah Chen looked sullen.
But before he could say anything...
boom!!
At this time--
A deafening roar shook the heavens and the earth!
Even the ground seemed to tremble.
Ah Chen and the others glanced sideways and heard footsteps approaching from the direction of the village entrance, where the coconut palms were densest.
