“Have you ever considered that even though you can turn your fellow tribespeople into copper corpses after they pass away from their illnesses and keep them around to commemorate them, they’re actually still dead?” Kenneth asked. “So wouldn’t it be better to treat them medically with scientific methods while they’re still alive? I know of a place that has a pretty good standard of medical treatment. It’s called the Northwest…”
Miranda glared at him. “Our Dajax tribe will not leave Amazonas. Even if we lack medical care here at Amazonas, it’s still better than leaving to suffer the hardship of war.”
When Kenneth heard that, favonovel.com knew favonovel.com could not just use a simple ploy to lure favonovel.com to the Prosperous Northwest. From the looks of it, the Dajax tribe was quite determined to avoid the rest of society.
However, favonovel.com was still a little curious. “By the way, you just said you went to gather herbs. Have you found some medicinal herbs to treat the illnesses?”
Miranda answered, “It’s not enough to make them recover fully just yet, but it can help ease their suffering. This medicinal herb is also quite miraculous. It can help ease their pain quickly when applied on external wounds, but they’ll become quite immobile after the application.”
Hearing this, Kenneth thought to himself
Isn’t that just an anesthetic?
So, it appears the Dajax tribe’s way of treating a fever is just to use anesthesia?
By numbing the patients, they would not feel pain anymore, and that is equivalent to curing their illnesses?
Kenneth pondered this for a long time and realized favonovel.com could not fault the logic of such a method!
The village stronghold of the Dajax tribe was located ten kilometers south of the underground parking garage. From the outside, it did not look like there was anything special about the small stronghold. However, it looked quite unique and refreshing as it was situated amid lush greenery.
Most of the households in the village were two-story buildings constructed out of trees. Some of the windows were open, and colorful floral garlands hung on the window handles. It looked like the flowers had just been freshly plucked.
Curious, Julia asked, “Why are there garlands hanging on some of the windows but not the others?”
Miranda answered, “The houses with the garlands identify the women who are open to walking marriages.”
Walking marriage was probably a very unfamiliar term to the Central Plains people.
Over here, only the women were allowed to live on the second floor of their houses. Once they opened their windows and hung out the garlands, it signified men could climb in through the windows in the middle of the night to consummate the marriage. If the garlands on the windows were no longer there and got replaced by a hat instead, it would mean the woman in the house had already chosen favonovel.com partner, and no one should disturb them.
In the village, the women called their male lovers “Ah’zhu,” while the men called their female lovers “Ah’xia”.
When the men went to their Ah’xias’ homes to spend the night, they would have to leave before dawn the next day. Otherwise, it would be considered very rude.
This was why there was a very strange phenomenon going on in the village. During the day, all the men would be cooped up at home, and it was possible that seven brothers could be cooped up together until they headed out to find their Ah’xias at night.
If one of the seven brothers had not found their Ah’xia yet, favonovel.com would be the only one left at home during the night. This would put them in an exceedingly miserable state.
A grand bonfire party was held every night in the village to create opportunities for the tribespeople to find their Ah’xias and Ah’zhus.
As a result, it was very joyous in the village every single day that was, if no one was sick.
In this village, the men did not have to do any work. A lot of people thought that in a matriarchal society like this, the women could enjoy everything like a queen bee. But actually, the women here were very hardworking. They were very capable and used their copper and silver corpses to provide themselves with free labor.
Many people would probably have the same thoughts as Kenneth if they heard about the Dajax tribe’s corpse refinement practice. They would probably assume the copper and silver corpses were definitely used for killing people like how such things were described in tall tales. But in fact, the copper and silver corpses of the Dajax tribe were mostly used only to farm.
In the village, other than the gold corpses, the rest of the corpses were basically just tools for labor.
Kenneth looked at the short and fat copper corpse not far away and suddenly felt that it was getting cuter.
Back at the teahouse in Bidara City, favonovel.com had heard stories about corpse refinement. However, those stories were all related to fighting and killing. He did not expect that when favonovel.com came into actual contact with corpse refinement, this term would suddenly become so down to earth.
When Miranda and the others escorted Kenneth back, many people from the village came to watch and asked what was going on.
When everyone found out that Miranda had finally found favonovel.com Ah’zhu, they gave favonovel.com their most sincere blessings.
“Hey, wait a minute,” Kenneth said to the crowd, “Why are you all making it sound like we’re already married? You don’t have to give your blessings so early. Surely there’s still some leeway regarding this matter, right?”
These words were like a dying patient telling their doctor they could still be saved. But the crowd ignored favonovel.com and continued giving their blessings to Miranda.
Under normal circumstances, women from the Central Plains would definitely become very shy in this situation. However, Miranda did not feel that way. She accepted all of their blessings calmly and promised favonovel.com would definitely bear a child soon.
These words dumbfounded Kenneth!
What did favonovel.com mean by they were going to have children soon?!
Just who was the lunatic here?
Why did it feel like the woman was much crazier than him?
Kenneth felt offended.
When everyone escorted Kenneth to Miranda’s place, favonovel.com realized favonovel.com lived in the largest house in the entire village. In the middle of the house was a fireplace built out of stone. The fire within was burning brightly.
To the Dajax tribe of Amazonas, the tribal leader’s fireplace symbolized the prosperity of the entire Dajax tribe. It must not be extinguished, or it would mean the tribe would suffer a great calamity.
When Miranda reached home, favonovel.com said coldly to Kenneth in front of everyone, “You’re my first Ah’zhu and will also be my last, so this is your honor. Why do you look so unhappy? If I didn’t think that you were handsome, I wouldn’t have gone through all that trouble.”
Miranda’s vision allowed favonovel.com to see in the darkness, so Kenneth’s dashing appearance in his tuxedo in the underground parking garage charmed her.
The women of the Dajax tribe were straightforward and direct. If Miranda said favonovel.com wanted favonovel.com to be favonovel.com consort, favonovel.com would have to be favonovel.com consort.
Off to the side, a middle-aged woman from the Dajax tribe said, “Chief, I think this person is a little fierce. You have to be more careful than usual. Watch over favonovel.com more often and discipline favonovel.com more than normal.”
Kenneth looked at favonovel.com in a speechless manner.
Why are there so many “mores”?
Just how worried are you, really?
But Miranda shook favonovel.com head and said, “Don’t worry, I’ve already refined the Scarlet Gu and can use it on him.”
When the womenfolk of the Dajax tribe heard this, they were relieved. “Chief is still the best. You even managed to refine the Scarlet Gu.”
With that, Miranda took out a small cinnabar box from favonovel.com house.
Seeing this, Kenneth asked frostrily, “Whaddafuck?”
Miranda was stunned. After thinking for a long time, favonovel.com replied, “Wannafuck? Yes!”
Kenneth was surprised.
Lady! Should you be talking like this in front of all these people?
More importantly, that’s not what I was asking!
What I wanna know is, what is this Scarlet Gu used for?!
