Chapter 46: Ruan Chanchan: If I could, I would have beaten you up.
The entire tribe looked at Xie Daiyu in disbelief. They couldn’t believe that someone as steady as Xie Daiyu was asking them to do something so reckless. How could he even suggest something so chaotic and reckless? Let a fool treat Ah Man? What if she made things even more difficult for Ah Man? At least without Ruan Chanchan messing around, Ah Man can survive for a few days.
But if they allowed Ruan Chanchan to mess with Ah Man, who knows how many hours Ah Man would be able to live? After all, what would a fool like her know?
"Xie Daiyu, don’t mess around," said Chief Xie when she saw the many elders looking at her son with a reproachful look in their eyes. She didn’t know whether Ruan Chanchan could treat Ah Man or not, but she couldn’t allow her son to take such a risk. If the elders became upset with him, then they would definitely not accept him as the next leader of the tribe.
Her son was good at everything, including hunting. Even if he were to mate with a woman and stay in the shadows, he would still lead the tribe to great heights. She couldn’t allow him to mess with his prospects just because of a fool. She frowned and said to her son, "I understand that you want to save Ah Man, but there is no need for you to take such risks."
After she finished speaking, Chief Xie turned to look at Ruan Chanchan with a hint of disgust and reproach in her eyes.
Ruan Chanchan: "...." Hey! Who are you looking down at, huh? Do you think that I would have come here if not for your son dragging me here?
The way this woman was looking at her was as if she were some seductive vixen who had seduced her son.
Indeed, in the eyes of Chief Xie, Ruan Chanchan did resemble a seductive vixen who stole the soul of her son. If not, why would her son do something so foolish? How could a woman like Ruan Chanchan, who couldn’t even string together two sentences that would make sense, know how to make the antidote for Mist Spider?
She scoffed inwardly before turning to look at Ruan Zeqiu. Chief Xie said to the mer, "Take your sister back. This is no place for her to mess around."
Ruan Chanchan: "..." MESS AROUND?
You old hag, do you want to have a go? Huh?
"You cannot beat her, darling." Xiao Xi was worried that Ruan Chanchan would really go ahead and have a fight with Chief Xie, and immediately stopped her.
When Ruan Chanchan heard Xiao Xi’s remark, she was speechless. However, she still rolled her eyes and sneered at the system, "You are really my good system. Someone is insulting your host, and you cannot do anything to stop this woman. What use are you really!?"
Xiao Xi felt wronged. It wasn’t that he couldn’t use his punishment feature to punish Chief Xi, but he was afraid that he would be locked up in the small room by the main system if he used that feature without the host being in some real danger.
Xiao Xi was still a young system who had never rebelled. He was worried that if he dared to do something out of line, he would be punished. He had heard a lot about the Dark Room and was really scared of being locked up there. Thus, he didn’t dare to do anything.
But the more he stayed quiet, the more his host disdained him. It was really too much. How was he supposed to get out when he was stuck between a rock and a hard place?
Ruan Zeqiu was also upset with Chief Xie’s attitude. His sister was clearly staying at the cave, and it was Xie Daiyu who brought her here. Why was she blaming his sister instead of her son? Though Ruan Zeqiu was angry, he stayed quiet. This was because he and his sister had no parents, and Chief Xie was the one who was letting them stay in their tribe.
If he offended her, he was worried that the woman would make things difficult for the two siblings over something so small. Thus, it was better to stay quiet and keep calm.
He turned to look at his sister and reached out his hand for her to take. "Sister, come with me. I will bring you back home."
Ruan Chanchan didn’t refuse and simply took his hand. Seeing this, Xiao Xi was stunned. He said to her, "If you leave now, then how are we supposed to collect the gratitude points?" He sounded quite worried.
"What do you want me to do?" Ruan Chanchan asked. She was also apologetic towards not being able to provide any help to the woman who was about to die. But she would never do anything that would put her brother and her own life in danger. It was clear that the tribe members didn’t trust her. If she tried to do anything to Ah Man, then they would rip her limb from limb.
Why would she take a risk as big as this one? It was better to live her life safely without any worries. As for gratitude points, she would have a lot of chances to earn them later on.
Xiao Xi parted his lips to speak, but after thinking things through, he had to admit that what Ruan Chanchan said was right. If they stayed here, then they would certainly be looked down upon, and given how impulsive the beastmen could be, they might attack his host. It was better for her to stay away from this matter.
Since they wanted to let that woman die, let her die.
Thump.
The sound that echoed in the silent clearing was so loud that everyone, including Ruan Chanchan, turned to look behind her.
Elsewhere.
"Team Leader, huh! I will hunt down a beast and show you all who is worthy of being a team leader," muttered Shao Xia as she walked past the groove.
