Jiang Xiaorou did not participate in this bonfire party, resulting in Zhou Xiaoke becoming the absolute protagonist.
Many people tried to approach Aunt Wang with friendly faces, hoping to propose. But Aunt Wang did not bother with those people.

My daughter may not be good enough for Kiddo Yun, but I will not let her be mixed in with the likes of you. In the future, Xiaoke can be considered Kiddo Yun’s god-sister. Who knows, if Kiddo Yun likes Xiaoke, Xiaoke might even be taken in as a concubine when she grows up!

Along the way, all of them were cheerful. This was the first time they were stepping out of the Lian tribal clan’s wonderland. They were about to leave the vast wilderness and step into the fertile central plains. How could they not be excited?
Even Yi Yun was full of anticipation for the future.
Yi Yun and company received news of the Jin Long Wei leaving the vast wilderness not long after they arrived at the Tao tribal clan. After reorganizing at the Tao tribal clan for a few days, Yi Yun split his people among the ten big baskets carried by near-horned beasts. And they stepped out of the Cloud Wilderness, onward to the the Kingdom’s central plains…
