Chapter 64: Ruan Chanchan: How To Manage Everything
At the same time, in a cave far away from the one where Priestess Yuan lived. Ruan Chanchan was looking at the hind leg that Ruan Zeqiu brought with him. Her eyes twitched dangerously as she stared at the mer standing in front of her with his hands on his hips. "What do you think, Sister? Aren’t I amazing?"
He pointed to the hind leg and then said to Ruan Chanchan, "Everyone was scared of attacking the beast as they were worried that they would be trampled to death. But I attacked it first and finally managed to tear this piece of meat safely without getting trampled."
"You mean to say..." Ruan Chanchan walked over and poked the wound on Ruan Zeqiu’s shoulder with her finger. "This is safe?"
Ruan Zeqiu hissed as he tried to get away from his sister, but the latter continued to hold him down. As Ruan Zeqiu didn’t want to hurt Ruan Chanchan, he could only stay put and suffer in silence. He looked at his sister, who seemed angrier than ever, and said to her, "I suffered the least amount of injuries, and anyway, there are always such risks when you are out hunting. If I don’t take risks, then how can I even hunt these beasts?"
Ruan Chanchan understood where Ruan Zeqiu was coming from, but she still felt distressed. There were, after all, many wounds on the back and arms of her brother. Now that Ruan Chanchan was occupying this body, she naturally had some feelings for Ruan Zeqiu. How could she not? When Ruan Zeqiu treat her the best among everyone else?
She sighed. "Go and wash your wounds."
When Ruan Zeqiu heard Ruan Chanchan’s command, he wanted to refuse, but the latter simply raised her head and glared at the mer. Ruan Zeqiu pursed his lips, swallowed all his complaints and went to wash his wounds outside.
At the same time, Ruan Chanchan took out the alcohol to clean his wounds along with some cotton and ointments to stop the wounds from festering. Though Ruan Chanchan knew that the injuries of the beast mers healed rather quickly, she still couldn’t help but worry about Ruan Zeqiu.
"What is this, sister?" Ruan Zeqiu asked. He peered down at the small bowl that was filled with a transparent liquid and an odd-looking substance that he didn’t know about.
He tilted his head and looked at his sister before asking, "Where did you get it?"
"This is something that the Beast Goddess gave me." Now that Ruan Chanchan was being praised as the Holy One, she decided to use the Beast Goddess as her shield for the time being. Anyway, she could never explain the existence of space to these people, so she might as well not bother.
When Ruan Zeqiu heard that it was something that the Beast Goddess had blessed them with, his eyes widened in surprise. He reached out to touch the ointment but was smacked on the back of his hand by Ruan Chanchan.
"Sister!"
"Don’t touch anything willy-nilly. It’s not something that can be eaten," Ruan Chanchan said to him. Just now, she noticed that the mer had touched the meat and placed it in the corner. His hands were once again covered with blood. If he touched the ointment, he would only cause the entire thing to be ruined.
She couldn’t allow that to happen.
Ruan Zeqiu pouted. He sat down and looked at his sister with an aggrieved expression before saying to her, "I wasn’t going to eat it."
"I saw you lick your lips."
Having been caught, Ruan Zeqiu had no other choice but to stay quiet. With him putting a lock on his lips, Ruan Chanchan didn’t have to worry about anything. She used the cotton balls to wipe the wounds on his arms and back. As soon as the alcohol touched his skin, Ruan Zeqiu hissed in pain.
However, Ruan Chanchan didn’t feel an ounce of mercy. Instead, she clicked her tongue and said to her little brother, "Now you feel pain? I thought that you didn’t feel any pain."
Ruan Zeqiu was simply speechless. He looked at his sister, who had been getting more and more mouthy ever since she got better and didn’t know what to make of the current situation. He was happy that his sister was getting better with each passing day, but he wished Ruan Chanchan were a bit nicer to him. Now he couldn’t help but be reminded of the days when Ruan Chanchan was rather nice to him.
At least when she was behaving like a child, his sister was way too cute. Now she was just harsh and so un-cute.
As his thoughts started to drift, he suddenly felt a chilly sensation spread all over his skin. He turned and looked at Ruan Chanchan when he saw that Ruan Chanchan was applying the white stuff to his skin. He couldn’t help but ask, "What is this stuff?"
"It’s something that will help you heal faster."
Ruan Chanchan was sweating hard as she continued to apply the medicine all over Ruan Zeqiu’s wounds. She couldn’t help but wonder what she was going to do in the future. How would she treat the other beast men, women and mers? She was a bit lucky that she had these ointments and rubbing alcohol in her supermarket.
But there were no other medicines in her supermarket. Other than fever-reducing medicines and some other local medicines, there was nothing in her supermarket.
"Darling, don’t worry," said Xiao Xi. He floated over and said to Ruan Chanchan, "As long as you work hard, you will be able to put in orders in the supermarket system. What kind of supermarket will it be if you cannot even purchase what you want?"
When Ruan Chanchan heard that she could purchase medicines, she heaved a sigh of relief but at the same time, she turned worried once again. With levelling up the supermarket system and saving the world, how could she even manage everything?
