"Ohhh! The Chief is mighty!"
"Wu Liang, you better perform well!"
"Hahaha, the Chief got a good treasure today, she definitely needs to find a place to test its power!"
Wu Liang looked at Wei Xian, a woman full of wild charm, with undisguised desire in his eyes.
"What, can't wait?"
Wu Liang wrapped his arm around her waist and brought his lips close to Wei Xian's ear.
His warm breath made Wei Xian's body tremble, and a blush rose to her cheeks.
"That's right, I can't wait."
Wei Xian cleared her throat and shouted boldly.
"Tonight, I'm going to let you know just how powerful I am."
Wei Xian ignored the crowd's jeering, grabbed Wu Liang, and strode into her tent.
In the crowd, Eliza held a cup of fruit wine, her eyes filled with complex emotions as she watched the two walk away.
Several Female Warriors near her leaned in.
"Great Priestess, look at the Chief. She really can't stay away from that man now."
"Yeah, the Chief of the past was never like this."
Eliza didn't say a word, she simply downed the fruit wine in her cup.
The spicy liquid burned down her throat, but it couldn't suppress the inexplicable irritability in her heart.
She felt a bit lost, and even a little... jealous?
"Great Priestess, are you feeling unwell?"
A Female Warrior asked curiously.
"...It's nothing, I'm just a bit hot."
Eliza shook her head and stood up. "You all carry on."
After speaking, she turned to leave, but as she passed Wei Xian's tent, she stopped in her tracks.
The firelight from inside the tent cast the shadows of two people, and the faint sound of voices could be heard.
Eliza's heart skipped a beat. She quietly crept closer and hid behind a massive rock.
Wei Xian was unfastening her leather armor.
"Today, I am very happy."
As Wei Xian unfastened the leather straps of her armor, her voice carried a sigh of satisfaction.
"Is it because of those two axes?"
Wu Liang looked at her with interest.
"Yes, and no."
Wei Xian took off her heavy leather armor, revealing the sweat-soaked linen undergarment beneath, which outlined her powerful and athletic figure.
"What I'm happy about is that I see hope."
She walked up to Wu Liang and actually reached out to touch the man's cheek.
"Wu Liang, you were the one who gave me this hope."
Wu Liang grabbed her hand and smiled.
"Hope isn't given for free; it always comes with a price."
"I know."
Wei Xian suddenly exerted force, pushing Wu Liang onto the large bed covered in thick animal skins behind him, and then straddled him, looking down from above.
"Tonight, I will pay the price."
"I'll show you how the Queen of the Black Rock Tribe pays her price!"
Outside the tent, Eliza, hiding behind the rock, heard the conversation inside perfectly clearly.
Her cheeks instantly became so hot it felt like they were burning.
"This Wei Xian... how could she..."
Eliza pressed her ear even closer.

...Inside the tent, Wu Liang was enjoying the unprecedented passion of the wild Queen, when a series of dense system prompts suddenly rang in his mind.
It was like a screen being flooded; though each increase was small, the continuous nature of it was impressive.
Wu Liang was slightly taken aback, but he immediately understood.
"Heh, this little girl is actually eavesdropping outside?"
The curve of his lips widened.
The activity inside the tent became even more unrestrained.
Outside, Eliza leaned against the cold rock, barely managing to support her body from sliding to the ground.
"No... if I keep listening... I'll go crazy!"
Eliza fled back to her tent, threw herself onto the bed, and tightly covered her head with an animal skin blanket.
The voices in her head echoed incessantly, impossible to drive away.
This night was destined to be a sleepless one for Eliza.
"Chief, who's more powerful now?"
Wu Liang looked at Wei Xian beside him, who was like a puddle of mud, only capable of lying there and panting, and he smiled with satisfaction.
If only I had a cigarette right now, it would be perfect.
Wei Xian shot him a look and gave a soft moan of acknowledgement.
Wu Liang was in a great mood.
He could feel that after tonight, Wei Xian had been completely conquered.
As for that eavesdropping Great Priestess outside... "One at a time, no rush."
Wu Liang lay on the soft animal skins and began to calculate his next plans.
He already had ironware; the next step was to comprehensively improve the Tribe's hard and soft power.
The next day, the sun rose high.
Wu Liang stepped out of the Chief's tent feeling refreshed. He gave a long stretch, feeling as though every bone in his body was relaxed.
Inside the tent, Wei Xian was still sound asleep, a faint, satisfied smile on her lips.
However, the fatigue that couldn't be hidden in her expression spoke volumes about the extent of the price paid last night.
The women in the Tribe were no longer shocked by this.
Instead, their eyes were filled with a sense of 'as it should be', or even envy.
In their view, a powerful man should naturally possess the most powerful woman.
And the Chief's state was precisely proof of Wu Liang's power.
Wu Liang finished washing up by the stream and was about to head to the blacksmith workshop to check on today's production progress when he ran into Eliza.
Upon seeing Wu Liang, her eyes flickered and avoided him, not daring to make eye contact at all.
"Morning, Great Priestess."
Wu Liang greeted her with a grin.
"Didn't sleep well last night?"
Seeing the Great Priestess with two obvious dark circles under her eyes and a haggard complexion, Wu Liang's lips curled into a teasing smile.
Eliza's cheeks turned slightly red.
She had barely slept all night after returning, her mind filled with those hateful sounds from Wu Liang.
"I... I was just praying for the Tribe's future, so I stayed up late."
Eliza explained with forced composure, but her voice grew quieter and quieter.
"Oh? Really?"
Wu Liang leaned in closer and lowered his voice:
"I thought the Great Priestess was so interested in last night's battle that she spent the night eavesdropping?"
"You... you're talking nonsense!"
Eliza was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on; her voice even became a bit shrill.
"Hahaha, I'm just joking with you, why so nervous?"
Seeing her cute, blustering appearance, Wu Liang was laughing inwardly.
He then waved his hand and agreed with Eliza with a serious face:
"True, the Great Priestess is so holy, she definitely wouldn't do something like eavesdropping on others, right?"
Eliza's face turned red with anger, her chest heaving violently.
That hateful guy, he must have discovered her last night.
Damn it!
Does this guy have eyes outside his tent too?
She had clearly hidden herself very well, yet she was still discovered.
How humiliating.
"Boring!"
Eliza wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
She glared fiercely at Wu Liang and turned to flee.
"Hey, don't leave, Great Priestess!"
Wu Liang grabbed her by the wrist.
Eliza's wrist was slender and cool; the soft, smooth touch made Wu Liang's heart sway.
Compared to Wei Xian's strength and wildness, Eliza felt as clear and refreshing as spring water.
"What are you doing? Let go of me!"
