CHAPTER 146: YOU CAN DO ANYTHING FOR ME?

Ruan Chanchan was speechless. She clearly did it because she didn’t want to make Xie Daiyu work for her but the mer thought that she was actually trying to chase him away? She rolled her eyes inwardly but still explained, "I am not trying to chase you away."

"Then why did you stop me?" Xie Daiyu still insisted on knowing the answer, his expression filled with confusion.

"Because you are following me." Ruan Chanchan felt a bit awkward in addressing Xie Daiyu as her husband, so she could only speak about it in a roundabout way. "Since you are following me, I should be taking care of you and not the other way around." She still remembered how the woman who took over her body treated her husbands. She gave them respect and cared for them; in return, they all submitted their in front of her. Ruan Chanchan didn’t want Xie Daiyu to give his all to her, but he was determined to follow her.

She couldn’t let him down.

When Xie Daiyu heard her response, his eyes couldn’t help but turn wide. Not once did he hear anyone telling him that it was right for a woman to care for him. His mother often told him that he should work harder and become stronger; if not, his wife would look down on him for not being able to raise her well. But Ruan Chanchan told him that since he was following her, she was going to take care of him.

He didn’t need it, but who would feel bad after being treated with such tender care?

Ruan Chanchan arrived at the riverbank and started washing the innards that she had collected from the tribe.

Xie Daiyu also helped her, as he firmly believed that they could eat these innards, just like the bones and the vegetables that Ruan Chanchan had collected earlier. Even though he had no idea what Ruan Chanchan was going to do with these innards, he firmly trusted her.

At the same moment, Shao Xia was being persuaded by her admirers; as she was now one of the strongest totem warriors of the tribe, many mers were chasing after her. When they saw that she was upset, they immediately went after her to comfort her. They had just somewhat mended Shao Xia’s broken heart, but as soon as they all returned, they saw Xie Daiyu helping Ruan Chanchan near the riverbank. From the looks of it, the two of them were having quite a lot of fun. At least Xie Daiyu was. Because he was looking at Ruan Chanchan as if she were the most beautiful woman in his life.

Just the sight alone was enough to hurt Shao Xia.

"Shao Xia, don’t be angry. Xie Daiyu—he has no eyes, and he cannot understand what he has lost. How can he choose Ruan Chanchan over you? He has lost his mind," Yuan Ni said cautiously when he saw the flash of hurt that glimmered in Shao Xia’s eyes.

"What are you talking about? How can you say such a thing about Daiyu?" Shao Xia spoke angrily. She was rather annoyed with Yuan Ni. If not for the fact that the mer was Priestess Yuan’s grandson, then she would have never bothered with him. He was clingy, childish and annoying. He started pestering her in the morning and would continue to pester her till late at night.

How could he compare to Xie Daiyu? The strongest mer of the tribe. And yet he dared to say such words?

Yuan Ni felt really sad when he heard Shao Xia’s response. At the same time, the seed of jealousy started to grow desperately. Was Xie Daiyu really that good? Why couldn’t Shao Xia see him? He cared for her in more than one way. So why couldn’t she pay more attention to her?

"Shao Xia, even though I am not as strong as Xie Daiyu, I love you a lot. I like you and I want to be with you." Yuan Ni was fascinated by Shao Xia’s strength and wanted her to make him her mate. If he could prove to her that he truly liked her, then maybe she would start liking him more.

"And what can your love do for me? You are just a scout warrior. At most, you can start hunting down treasures, but that will only happen when you cross the Fang Lord Stage, and that is way far away for someone like you." Shao Xia angrily shook off the hand that was holding her and walked away. Xie Daiyu was so strong. Compared to him, Yuan Ni could never compare. Their children were all Beast Empress totem warriors. How could Yuan Ni even compare to the toenail of Xie Daiyu?

If she were not worried about breaking the oath and suffering the consequences, she would have never let go of Xie Daiyu.

Yuan Ni was hurt when Shao Xia rejected him, but when he thought about how she was sad because of Xie Daiyu, he suppressed the pain in his heart and then chased after her. He looked at her obsequiously and said to her, "Shao Xia, how can Xie Daiyu compare to me? I am willing to do anything for you. I cannot hunt big beasts like Xie Daiyu, but I can make you happy. I will listen to you and respect you. Aren’t I already better than Xie Daiyu in many ways?"

"You can do anything for me?" Shao Xia paused and turned to look at the mer who was trying his best to catch up to her. She curved her lips and smiled at the mer. She looked at Yuan Ni and asked frivolously, "Will you die if I ask you to?"

Yuan Ni grew nervous when he heard Shao Xia’s question, but he still nodded and, with a loud swallow, said to her, "I will. As long as you are happy, Shao Xia, I will do everything that you ask me to do. I can even die for you."
