After hearing Xiao Wenyao’s words, Yelv Nanyan smiled faintly and then said, “Yaoyao, I’m afraid that won’t work. No matter what, he is still a Prince of Great Xia. If we capture him, we can use him to conduct some trades with Great Xia. He still has some use to us.”

Xiao Wenyao pouted her lips and didn’t say much, as after all, Yelv Nanyan was the Princess Consort, and she possessed significant influence within the Sky Wolf King tribe.

It was thanks to the leadership of the Princess Consort that the Sky Wolf King tribe had developed to its current size and acquired advanced weapons.

She actively learned from Great Xia and had secretly bought off many from the Great Xia Dynasty; leveraging these people, she had been continuously engaged in commercial trade with the Great Xia Dynasty. Wu Yuan, kneeling before her, was one of them.

Under her leadership, the Sky Wolf tribe had become no weaker than other Barbarian Tribe branches, and even more powerful than some.

The idea of establishing a nation in North City was also a concept proposed by Yelv Nanyan. She noticed that the north became colder each year, and the Barbarian population was rapidly increasing. The current grasslands could no longer support such a large Barbarian population.

In addition, North City was getting poorer and poorer, and even if they were to raid North City for food, the food they plundered wouldn’t last long for their tribe.

The best solution was to learn from the Great Xia Dynasty, cultivating food crops to support a larger population.

Moreover, she had found out that a kind of grain crop, which could yield a thousand pounds per acre, appeared to have surfaced in North City. If the Sky Wolf King could conquer North City and establish a nation there, their branch would no longer need to follow the water and grass, and their lives would improve greatly.

The Sky Wolf King tribe owes its present strength and size to Yelv Nanyan’s numerous policies, making her an irreplaceable figure within the tribe, so much so that the current Sky Wolf King, Xiao Hongbo, held her in particularly high regard.

Of course, Yelv Nanyan’s status wasn’t that high from the beginning. She married the former Sky Wolf King when she was just a teenager.

However, the former Sky Wolf King was already an old man at that time, paralyzed in bed, unable to manage the tribe. It was Yelv Nanyan who helped him govern the tribe, and over time, she amassed considerable power in her hands.

After the Sky Wolf King’s death, having no offspring, thanks to Yelv Nanyan’s mediation, the Sky Wolf tribe chose Xiao Hongbo as the new Sky Wolf King.

The current Sky Wolf King was chosen with the help of Yelv Nanyan, which once again consolidated the power in her hands.

And Yelv Nanyan was a very smart woman. She gave the current Sky Wolf King plenty of respect, letting him make decisions on important matters, making it seem as though she had entirely ceded power.

Even when the Sky Wolf King expressed his desire to marry her, she did not refuse, but rather set a goal for him, promising to marry him upon reaching that goal.

Yelv Nanyan was just a teenager when she married the previous Sky Wolf King, and to this day remains a virgin. She couldn’t possibly remain a widow for a man who was already dead, and she was indeed planning to marry at some point.

In the eyes of the current Sky Wolf King, Xiao Hongbo, Yelv Nanyan was irrevocably his woman, which is why he trusted her immensely. As for taking down North City before marrying her, Xiao Hongbo saw it as a gift to Yelv Nanyan.

At this moment, Yelv Nanyan continued speaking to the kneeling Wu Yuan, “Wu Yuan, you’ve had a hard time gathering information in Great Xia this time. Go and have a good rest.”

“Thank you, Princess Consort,” Wu Yuan immediately said.

As his voice fell, Wu Yuan got up and left Yelv Nanyan’s yurt straight away.

Seeing Wu Yuan stand up and leave, Xiao Wenyao quickly said, “Princess Consort, I shall take my leave as well.”

Having said that, Xiao Wenyao then turned and left the yurt as well.

As soon as Xiao Wenyao stepped out of the yurt, she hurriedly called out to Wu Yuan, “Wu Yuan, wait a moment.”

Wu Yuan stopped in his tracks, turned his head, and asked with utmost respect, “Princess, do you need me for something?”

Xiao Wenyao directly asked, “The perfume and soap 1 had you bring for me, did you bring them?”

Wu Yuan said with a smile, “Since it is Her Highness’s command, I will naturally obey. Those items are still on the carriage, I will go and bring them to Her Highness right now.”

Xiao Wenyao replied, “No need, I will go with you. Tell me about Great Xia on the way.”

Perhaps influenced by Yelv Nanyan, Xiao Wenyao was very interested in all aspects of Great Xia.

As Wu Yuan was from Great Xia, every time he returned from there, she would find him and inquire about various matters pertaining to Great Xia.

For instance, she would ask about any recent fun events in Great Xia, or any gossip about the princes—basically, anything she found interesting, she would ask Wu Yuan about.

Upon hearing Xiao Wenyao’s words, Wu Yuan responded, “Of course, Your Highness. Whatever you wish to know, you may ask me.”

While walking, Xiao Wenyao asked, “People say that the North Prince of Great Xia is extraordinarily handsome. Is he truly that attractive? Could you describe to me just how handsome he is?”

This…

Wu Yuan was taken aback by Xiao Wenyao’s first question.

Wu Yuan pondered for a moment without replying immediately.

Seeing that Wu Yuan did not answer right away, Xiao Wenyao turned to look at him, and asked curiously, “What’s wrong? Why aren’t you speaking?”

After thinking, Wu Yuan said, “Your Highness, I genuinely do not know how to describe the North Prince.”

“If judged by the standards of Great Xia’s ladies, the North Prince is indeed considered extremely handsome. However, by the standards of the Barbarian Tribe women choosing a husband, I’m afraid the North Prince might seem somewhat slender. The North Prince is not a martial artist; his physique is not robust.”

Upon hearing Wu Yuan’s answer, Xiao Wenyao’s eyes lit up and then she said, “I do not like men who are overly muscular. The men of the grasslands almost all look fat and bulky, hideously so. What is there to like about that?”

Seeing that Xiao Wenyao seemed quite interested in the North Prince, Wu Yuan continued, “Your Highness, you must know that the North Prince is particularly fond of beautiful women. If he were to see Your Highness, he would surely be unable to take his eyes off you.”

“If Your Highness is interested in the North Prince, the Great King’s southern conquest of North City may present an opportunity for you.”

Upon hearing Wu Yuan’s words, Xiao Wenyao sighed and said, “As you’ve just heard, the Queen said that the North Prince is still of use. Even if we capture the North Prince in the southern campaign, she will not hand him over to me.” Wu Yuan gave a faint smile, having initially intended to persuade Xiao Wenyao to go directly to North City, but upon reflection, he decided against it. It was a critical period, and extraneous actions could arouse suspicion and lead to more loss than gain.

Soon after, Wu Yuan added, “Do not worry, Your Highness. You will always have the opportunity to be alone with the North Prince.”

Xiao Wenyao said, “Let’s not talk about that anymore. By the way, do you know how to make perfume and soap?”

“Every time 1 run out, I have to wait for you to buy it from Great Xia, which is too troublesome. We might as well make it ourselves.”

Wu Yuan explained, “I apologize, Your Highness, but the method for making perfume and soap is only known to the North Prince Mansion. They only sell the finished products and have never revealed the methods for making soap and perfume.”

Hearing Wu Yuan’s words, Xiao Wenyao paused.

“The North Prince Mansion?”

Wu Yuan then added, “Yes, it is said that these two items, perfume and soap, were actually invented by the North Prince himself.”

“Moreover, this time I have brought a new item called scented soap for Your Highness, also made by the North Prince Mansion. Scented soap is even better than regular soap; I guarantee that Your Highness will love it after using it..”
