"Princes?" Song Bailu muttered.

"That's right, but it's just a title. I can't think of any other better word for it, so I use the word 'prince'. From now on, I'll entrust this territory to you, but we are still a large team, and you should mainly listen to my orders and arrangements. At the same time, as the ruler here, you should try your best to help the Kunk people reform and provide them with technical assistance. Do you accept this title?" I asked.

In fact, the reason for this was that I didn't want to take her back at all, but there was no place to put her. She wanted to come here on her own anyway, so it wouldn't be a bad thing to let her stay. Besides, she always wanted to get some strange title, and the title of a prince was loud enough. I thought she should be satisfied and it would be enough to satisfy her vanity.

Furthermore, we do need this territory and people now. This will enable us to find suitable assistance points to a large extent when something happens in Dragon City in the future. This will form a supply effect of learning from each other's strengths and making up for each other's weaknesses. If the Kunks are left to develop on their own, given their level of civilization, I am afraid that even after thousands of years of exploration, they may not be able to make any major improvements, and they may easily be unable to protect themselves. In this way, the effectiveness of the alliance will not be that great.

Leaving Song Bailu here can greatly improve their development process, allowing them to learn from our advanced level, expand resources, and make rational use of them. We provide technology and protection, and this tribe provides resources and labor, which is sufficient and reasonable. This is my idea.

Song Bailu seemed to be a little angry at first, but then she thought that this was indeed the best destination for her. After all, she should be blamed for what she did. Then she threatened and coerced me. Even if we went back to the post station, we might not treat her well. Besides, my actions just now made her understand completely that she was not competitive with Zhang Yunwen.

She just wanted stability. I treated her as my own and would help her at critical moments. I also gave her a job so that she could stay here peacefully. If she performed well, she might even be able to make up for her mistakes and improve my bad impression. What else could she be dissatisfied with? Besides, she was familiar with this area. If she didn't stay, who else could stay?

"Okay, I accept the title and thank you, Your Majesty." Song Bailu said seriously.

So I took her hand and brought her forward. Yunwen helped me arrange the orders just now. All the Kunks immediately cooperated and bowed to Song Bailu. Then I asked Tutu to be the female leader of the Kunk tribe, responsible for coordinating the Kunk tribe and also responsible for cooperating with Song Bailu in all daily scheduling work. After Yunwen helped translate, all the Kunks were extremely happy.

Of course, the word "princes" sounds very powerful. If there is only one prince, he will inevitably take himself too seriously, and it would be inappropriate for one party to dominate the world. I don't understand the checks and balances, but at least I know that every species basically has a natural enemy that can restrain it. This is the rule of nature. Otherwise, some species will become rampant. This is a delicate balance, and I can use this as a reference.

Therefore, in order to prevent Song Bailu from having such sinister thoughts, I also conferred the title of marquis on Su Yuexi. Of course, it was only to scare Song Bailu. It might be of no use in practice. I have no reward to give, I just wanted to make it sound good.

But Su Yuexi accepted it with great joy. This girl would probably accept anything I give her with great joy, right?

After that, I made some declarations about future cooperation and coexistence, which were not too long. After Yunwen helped translate it, we lit the campfire and started singing and dancing. I also asked Song Bailu to use the limited sweet potato ingredients to make a delicious meal to liven up the atmosphere. Thus, the real campfire night banquet began.

The big pot for cooking human flesh looked like a small tripod. Song Bailu still used basic gestures to let the Kunk people take it away for cleaning. At the same time, she called me and said that she had something to talk to me alone. I thought that Longcheng would need a lot of assistance from here in the future, so it was important to calm her heart, so I agreed, said goodbye to Yunwen, and went to an open space.

"Brother Zhou Bo, I know that you intend to keep me from getting close to you and to prevent me from hurting your sweetheart again, right? If you leave me in this remote place, you won't have to worry about anything anymore, right?" Song Bailu said.

"You asked me to come here just to tell me this?" I asked instead of answering.

"That's not the case. But Brother Zhou Bo, don't forget, apart from the title of prince you gave me, there is a husband and wife relationship between us. I just hope you don't forget this. You want me to take care of these barbarians for you. Okay, no matter how hard and tiring the work is, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it for you. I will do it all for you, but you should also pay attention to the limits, the limits between you and me." Song Bailu said.

"What do you want to say?" I asked.

"What I want to say is that you can't forget my existence. You must come back to see me every two days. If Longcheng is not busy, you should also take more time to come here to accompany me. When it comes to husband and wife matters, you should be more equal and not always be so partial. You should also consider me. When I have children in the future, they can help you stabilize the foundation." Song Bailu said.

So this is what she was talking about. However, when she said she would come back once every two days, I instantly felt a little kidney pain. She treated me equally, as if I were a stud.

"Well, two days is too troublesome. How about a week? I will come back to see you once a week. You and I can communicate through letters on weekdays. You can report the information to me at any time, okay? No less than this." I said.

She wanted to say something else, but she took it back and nodded, then said, "Okay, but you have to accompany me today. After all, you have detoxified and will be leaving soon."

"Aren't I accompanying you? Go and prepare the meals. Even if we want to chat, we should fill our stomachs first, right?" I said.

"Yeah! You're right, you miss the food I cooked, right? I'll cook a good meal for you today." Bai Lu said.

So we all went back. At this time, the cauldron that was used to cook human flesh had been cleaned. In particular, Su Yuexi used special witchcraft to float away all the dirt and mud inside. Now the peculiar smell in this small cauldron was basically not detectable. In addition, by pouring water from the water tank into it and adding many flower petals and other seasonings, it was almost covered up.

The bonfire moved to the lower part of the cauldron. It was burning fiercely and soon the water in the cauldron was boiling. Bai Lu also began to show off her cooking skills and began to sprinkle some seasonings into the cauldron. The cauldron was probably about the size of a hanging pot. After sprinkling a lot of seasonings, a smell of herbs began to waft out for a while. Then a lot of peeled and sliced ​​melons were poured into the cauldron. After pouring them in, some cut vines were poured in, followed by some strange mountain fruits, mountain peppers, wild mushrooms and even some kind of tree bark and grass roots.

Bai Lu brought a pestle and stirred it for a while. The fragrance filled the air and made her appetite grow.

I can only say that when it comes to cooking, Song Bailu has never disappointed us.

Along with this fragrance, and the fact that almost everyone present had escaped death and had a rare experience, everyone gathered around the campfire, holding hands, and kept turning around, walking three steps, kicking with the left foot, turning three steps again, and kicking with the right foot. They were very happy for a moment. Before in East Island, most of the people they met were non-humans, or species close to humans, but now, the ones holding hands and singing and dancing were a group of humans. Although they were only primitive tribal humans, it was already pretty good.

Everybody was dancing, humming and shouting along, having fun letting their voices flow.

But just when we turned the fifth circle, the Kunke woman Tutu suddenly took a step forward and began to sing loudly. Her baby was in her arms, not crying or making a fuss, but very well behaved. Her voice was full of wildness, and at the same time accompanied by a sense of desolation. The notes sounded simple, and the melody was not responsible, but when listening to it, one could not help but sigh with emotion and feel sad.

As Tutu sang, all the Kunk people suddenly knelt down and raised their hands towards the sky!

Yunwen was beside me, sighed, and said, "The fog of confusion will eventually dissipate, the road ahead will eventually become clear, and the gods bestowed by our ancestors will eventually defeat the evil spirits. These are their lyrics, filled with too much sadness and countless desperate expectations."
