Chapter 80: Xiao Xi: This Is Crucial Darling
Ruan Chanchan glanced at her brother and then turned to look at Nan Zhi, who was standing on the side without daring to raise his head. No matter how she looked at it the mer seemed quite terrified of her little brother.
My brother must be a gangster, thought Ruan Chanchan. Indeed, Ruan Zeqiu was a little gangster because at that moment, even when he was kicking Nan Zhi on the shin, no one dared to intervene because they knew that with Ruan Zeqiu’s temper, if someone tried to stop him, he would totally snap at them. Even fiercer than he was at Nan Zhi at that moment.
"Alright, Zeqiu. Calm down," When Chief Xie saw Ruan Zeqiu kicking Nan Zhi, she knew that she couldn’t just watch the mer hurt Nan Zhi, even if what Nan Zhi did was something that she didn’t approve of; the mer was also desperate. After all, Nan Wu was his only elder sister and the only person in the Nan family who cared about him.
Ruan Zeqiu, however, was anything but calm. He whipped his head to look at Chief Xie and said to him, "How can I calm down? You think that this is a joke? Do I not see what is going on here? If my sister makes a mistake, then someone will definitely make a fuss and use this to kick us out of the tribe. I am not willing to let that happen—no, I will not allow it to happen. I don’t agree to whatever this is."
Ruan Zeqiu didn’t dare to even imagine the consequences if things went wrong. He glared at Nan Zhi before stating in a firm voice, "It’s fine if you want to kick us out, but at least give us some time to find a new tribe. I will move with my sister as soon as possible—"
"NO!"
"You cannot move."
Before Ruan Zeqiu could even finish speaking, he was stopped by Priestess Yuan and Xie Daiyu.
Priestess Yuan, he could understand, as he knew that the old woman knew about his sister’s skills and abilities, but what about Xie Daiyu? Why was this mer stopping them from moving?
He turned and looked at the two women with surprise in his eyes, but before he could even ask why Xie Daiyu was stopping them from moving, Chief Xie stepped forward in a hurry. She was worried that Xie Daiyu would blurt out that Ruan Chanchan was his destined one. So, she immediately took charge of the situation.
Anxious as an ant under the foot of a beast, she said to Ruan Zeqiu, "No one is going to do anything to you or your sister, Zeqiu. We are just taking the chances; if your sister fails, no one will blame her. We already know that Nan Wu is going to die."
No sooner did she finish speaking than Father Nan started to cry even harder. Chief Xie felt a bit bad when she heard the mer cry, but she couldn’t do anything either. Who asked for Nan Wu’s luck to be so bad? Her side was torn, and the insides were almost hanging out. She couldn’t do anything even if she wanted to, and even the people at the beast temple might not be able to do anything regarding Nan Wu’s condition.
Shao Xia rolled her eyes when she heard the words of the tribe members. They all have turned crazy; just because Ruan Chanchan was lucky enough to save Ah Man, they all started to call her the holy one or something of the sort.
How could they even expect a fool like her to do something so miraculous?
Shao Xiao, however, was confused about one thing. In her past life, Ruan Chanchan was torn apart by the members of the tribe after she gave the holy flame away. And as for Ruan Zeqiu, she didn’t know about him, but he did go feral after the death of his sister and killed many of the elders of the council.
However, Chief Xie felt sorry for him. She knew that Ruan Chanchan was being schemed against by someone, and it was them who stole the holy flame by using her, and as a fool, she didn’t know any better. Because of this, Ruan Zeqiu was caught and trapped in the tribe. If she was not wrong, then it was Chief Xie and her family who took care of him, as she felt guilty for what happened to the Ruan family.
But this time around, not only did Ruan Chanchan not die after handing out the holy flame, but she even recovered! Even Ruan Zeqiu survived. This was something that Shao Xia could not understand. Everything was still the same as it was in her past life; then, how come Ruan Chanchan and Ruan Zeqiu, these two siblings, survived?
Shao Xia stared at Ruan Chanchan, wondering if she should kill her, for she was the only exception.
Ruan Chanchan shivered unconsciously. She turned around and looked behind her; however, by the time she turned around, Shao Xia had moved her gaze away; thus, Ruan Chanchan didn’t see anyone looking at her, which made her troubled. Why was it that just now she felt a really intense murderous intent? Like someone wanted to see her die, and they wanted her to die very much.
Certainly, she was misunderstanding it. Why would someone want to kill her without a reason?
"Chanchan? Can you treat Ah Wu?"
No, I cannot! I am just a small supermarket owner; I have no such skills! Ruan Chanchan roared in her head; however, before she could shake her head and refuse, Xiao Xi exclaimed loudly, "I can! I can truly treat this woman, darling! If you give me a chance, then we will be able to earn a lot of goodwill points. That way, you can level up and use the goodwill points to open the second level. I know you have been worrying about vitamins, first aid kits and other medicines, other than just fever."
"This is crucial, darling!"
