BXBX NOVEL Chapter 158: Your Wife Is Incredible
"Have you built a wagon before?" Great Chieftain Adrian asked. "You seem experienced."
Ethan nodded as he continued to use the iron hammer in his hand. "I helped my Grandpa build a wooden wagon several years ago."
"That explains it." Great Chieftain Adrian smiled. "With your help, we might finish this in two days."
The Kendall Tribe didn\'t have to worry about materials like wooden wheels and nails since there was a settlement on Turtle Cove Island that was near the beach where they landed.
Since Ethan and Lily were going to travel with them, Great Chieftain Adrian decided to make their wagon bigger to accommodate their guests.
While the men were busy doing the physical labor, the women were busy preparing the meals for their families.
Lily helped the Great Chieftain\'s Wife, Holly, prepare their meal, while Grandma Ria watched over Jenna.
An hour later, several men and women arrived at the temporary base of the Kendall Tribe, wearing a smile on their faces.
"Brother Marco!" Jenna cried out as she ran towards a teenage warrior who was riding on top of a two-meter-tall Forest Wolf.
"Jenna!" Marco laughed heartily as he picked up his sister and swung her round and round, making the little girl giggle.
Holly smiled when she saw her son, whom she hadn\'t seen for several months.
"That is my son, Marco," Holly said to Lily. "He is one of the pupils of the Great Overlord and has lived under his care for several years."
"I see." Lily glanced at the young warrior who was making his way in their direction while carrying Jenna.
It didn\'t take long for Marco to realize that there was someone whom he didn\'t recognize.
"Mother, who is this young beauty?" Marco asked. "Did father break the Tribal Rules and take her as his second wife?"
"Don\'t speak nonsense, you silly boy." Holly shook her head. "Lily is a guest. Also, she is already married. Don\'t have any wrong ideas, you hear me?"
Marco chuckled before putting his little sister back on the ground. "You don\'t have to worry about that mother. Although Lily is more beautiful than my lover, my feelings for her will not allow me to look at another woman in a romantic way."
The young warrior then glanced in his Father\'s direction, who was currently busy building a wagon with a blue-haired boy, whom he hadn\'t seen before either.
"Is that your husband?" Marco asked Lily.
Lily nodded. "Yes. His name is Ethan."
"I see. I guess I\'ll introduce myself and help Father finish the wagon as well," Marco smirked before motioning for his Forest Wolf to come closer. "Gray, make sure to behave, okay?"
The Forest Wolf nodded before making its way towards Lily. However, what it did next surprised Marco and Holly, and the latter even dropped the ladle she was holding.
The two-meter Forest Wolf laid down on the ground, showing Lily his belly, which was a sign of submission for them.
Lily giggled before lightly patting the wolf\'s belly, making the wolf have a look of happiness and satisfaction on its face.
"H-How did you do that?" Marco, who had been with the Forest Wolf for nearly two years, had never seen it do something like this.
Of course, he tried to do this in the past, but Gray had never allowed him to touch his belly in this manner.
This was why he was so surprised when the Forest Wolf took the initiative to act submissive to the girl whom he only met for the first time in his life.
"It\'s a family secret, so I can\'t tell you," Lily replied. "Gray, make sure you behave, okay?"
"Wooo!" The Forest Wolf acknowledged her request and sat on the ground like a loyal dog, its tail wagging left and right.
"Wow!" Jenna, who found this amusing, hugged the Forest Wolf and buried her head in its soft fur.
Gray didn\'t move and allowed the little girl to do what she wanted.
Since Jenna was Marco\'s sister and Lily told it to behave, it decided to turn a blind eye to the little Human, who was currently playing with its body.
After regaining his composure, Marco scratched his head before making his way to his father.
Before he could even greet his father and their guest, Great Chieftain Adrian smiled and asked his son to help them with their work.
Naturally, Marco obeyed and took an iron hammer in his hand and helped with the construction.
With three people working together, the base of the wagon started to take shape after a few hours, allowing it to progress faster than anticipated.
"Your wife is incredible," Marco said after taking a short rest. "She managed to tame my Forest Wolf in a heartbeat. Did she do the same to you? Does she rub your belly every night as well?"
Ethan, who was drinking some water, spat it out and started coughing. This made the Father and son chuckle as they waited for him to regain his calm.
"She is indeed incredible," Ethan replied after a few minutes. "That is all that I can say."
Fortunately, Marco felt guilty after making the handsome young man choke on his drink, so he no longer delved into the subject.
"Marco, how is the situation in Alastor?" Great Chieftain Adrian asked. "Have the other tribes arrived?"
Marco nodded. "Half of the tribes have arrived, and the rest are still on their way. Father, I forgot this earlier, but there is something that I want to tell you.
"The Erdovar, Schio, and Tolmezo Great Tribes are gathering at Ataranto Keep. I\'m afraid they are going to take the Great Overlord\'s passing as an opportunity to settle old debts and expand their territories."
Great Chieftain Adrian\'s face sank after hearing his son\'s report.
"Those bastards," Great Chieftain Adrian clenched his fist in anger. "Have they no shame? They even chose this time to cause trouble for us?"
The Three Great Tribes were powerhouses in the Lands of Alastor.
To make a comparison, the Kendall Tribe was composed of nearly seven hundred people, while a single Great Tribe numbered around three thousand up to five thousand people.
Due to the Allied Tribes that were under the Great Overlord, these Three Great Tribes weren\'t able to expand to the South to claim the rich and fertile lands that belonged to the Allied Tribes.
However, now that the alliance had lost its leader, the Three Great Tribes thought that this was the perfect opportunity to divide the Southern Territories among themselves.
"Are there warriors stationed at the Triolo Stronghold?" Great Chieftain Adrian asked.
"There are, but the situation is not very optimistic," Marco replied. "The Tribes that are currently in the Weeping Shrine had sent half of their warriors to man the Stronghold, stalling for time until the other tribes arrived."
The father and son continued to talk, while Ethan ate in silence.
\'Not only do we have to deal with the Tribal Fight for succession, we also have to deal with three Great Tribes who plan to invade the Southern Territories,\' Ethan sighed. \'Why do things have to be complicated? We just want to go home.\'
Since Ethan was deep in thought, he didn\'t notice that the mark of the Sea God\'s Trident in his left hand glowed faintly.
It was reacting to something located somewhere far away, which held a connection to its true origin.
