CHAPTER 97: RUAN CHANCHAN: GETTING A GOLDEN THIGH

Ruan Chanchan turned to look at the mer who was standing behind her. The second she saw him, the worries in her heart suddenly disappeared. What did those two women say? As long as she could get Xie Daiyu to support her, then she would be able to survive in this tribe. So what if the elders didn’t like her? They could suck her non-existent manhood. With Xie Daiyu taking care of her, Ruan Chanchan was certain that those elders would not dare to make a move on her.

Anyway, with Ruan Zeqiu living in the tribe, Ruan Chanchan didn’t believe that she could escape alone. She would have to bring her brother along with her, and Ruan Zeqiu didn’t seem like the type who would leave in the middle of the night; he would definitely make a huge fanfare if she asked him to leave with her.

The last thing she needed was to release a crazy and wild mer at the tribe in the middle of the night. She could even imagine the war cry that the mer might release if she were to tell him to leave the tribe.

"It must be ’for my sister’",

"Shut up."

"Nothing, I was just collecting some herbs." Ruan Chanchan showed the glowing spirit vine to Xie Daiyu, who frowned heavily.

He said, "These things are just good to look at, but they don’t have any good effects. There was someone who once ate them and was poisoned to death."

Poisoned?

Ruan Chanchan was surprised and asked, "How come? How can such a thing happen?"

"I saw it happen with my own eyes. One of the beastmer ate these things because he was hungry and then ended up dying right in front of me. I wouldn’t tell you these things if I didn’t see it happening right in front of me." Xie Daiyu didn’t understand why Ruan Chanchan was collecting these herbs, but he didn’t want Ruan Chanchan to get hurt by consuming them like the poor mer.

Ruan Chanchan blinked her eyes and then looked down at the herbs in her arms, her brows creasing slightly as she turned to look at Xiao Xi, who helplessly explained, "Darling, stop looking at me like this. I am not playing with you; these herbs are really the ginseng of this world."

"Then the death of that beastmer—"

"It’s simple. That mer died because he was greedy and ate too much of these herbs. When he realised the miraculous effects of these herbs, he got greedy and didn’t tell anyone about their uses. Instead, he kept them close to himself but you already know that even if a medicine is good for you...an excess of it might cause you trouble if you eat too much of it. That mer must have done something similar to that."

Ruan Chanchan nodded as she understood what was going on. She turned to look at Xie Daiyu, who seemed close to snatching the herbs from her arms and then hurling them on the ground. Realising his intentions, she hurriedly brought the spirit vines close to her and explained, "These herbs are good. In fact, they are really good. If used correctly. That beast mer must have eaten more than two of these, and that’s why he died."

Xie Daiyu frowned. He wanted to contradict Ruan Chanchan, but when he saw that the female was looking quite happy, he sighed and let her be. At most, he would pay attention to her more just in case something went wrong with her.

Ruan Chanchan glanced at the basket that was full of blood berries and said to Xie Daiyu, "Have you collected all the berries?"

Xie Daiyu looked at the basket and nodded. He then turned to look at Ruan Chanchan and said to her, "I will arrange for the plant to be moved into the tribe’s land. Since these blood berries have such a good effect, there is nothing wrong with planting this bush in the tribe. At least then we won’t have to come looking for these berries here."

Ruan Chanchan’s eyes lit up when she heard the words of the mer. She said to him, "You are really smart!" This was something that even she didn’t think of doing.

Xie Daiyu’s face turned a bit red when he heard his destined one praise him.

Ruan Chanchan didn’t pay attention to these little changes. She placed the herbs that she had collected in her arms inside the basket and left the rest in the supermarket. She said, "Let’s go. Nan Wu needs these berries; only after drinking their juice will she feel a bit better."

Hearing her words, Xie Daiyu turned serious. He immediately placed down the basket from his back and then transformed into a large bear. Carrying the basket in his mouth, he slumped down on the floor and allowed Ruan Chanchan to climb over. The two of them walked down the path from where they came from, and Ruan Chanchan, who was getting bored while watching the twisting and winding paths, couldn’t help but ask, "Xie Daiyu, is your authority over the elders?"

The bear paused and flicked his eyes at Ruan Chanchan, who was sitting on his back. He seemed to have understood her worries and nodded with a soft rumble.

Hearing this, Ruan Chanchan’s eyes brightened and she immediately leaned close to him. She asked in a soft voice, "Then do you mean to say that as long as you are there, those elders cannot do anything to me?"

Another growl with a shake of his furry head. This growl was louder than the last one. This proved that Xie Daiyu really had the authority to cross the elders. Great! If she got close to him, then Ruan Chanchan was certain that those elders would have to withstand her existence in the tribe even if they didn’t like it.

Xie Daiyu glanced at the woman whose face was now lit up with glee and understood what happened when he was not with her. Those elders were really stepping out of the line!
