It was really too much!
Just because she couldn't fight back, this mer was manhandling her.
Ruan Chanchan was so angry that it wasn't even funny anymore. She looked down and saw the scenery changing at a pace that almost made her throw up and close her eyes. Out of sight, out of mind! As long as she didn't open her eyes and see the rapidly changing scenery, everything would be fine.
She didn't know how long Xie Daiyu had carried her.
Nor did she know how long he was going to carry her, but she didn't bother to shout for help.
Because this mer was stronger than her, Ruan Chanchan didn't bother to scream. She was no longer living in a society that was ruled by law.
This tribe was ruled by the one who was stronger than the others, which meant that as long as the other person was stronger than the one who was being wronged, everyone would ignore the person being beaten up.
Since Xie Daiyu was stronger than her, Ruan Chanchan didn't bother to scream. She knew that even if she screamed for help, no one would bother with her. After all, the one who was carrying her was Xie Daiyu!
The big shot of the tribe.
Thus, like a rice sack being carried by a worker, Ruan Chanchan stayed quiet and hoped for this torment to come to an end.
Fortunately, it did not take long for Xie Daiyu to arrive at the small riverbank where he usually came. He jumped down from the branch of the tree and, with a bang, came to a stop on the ground.
Once he landed, Xie Daiyu helped Ruan Chanchan to the ground. As soon as her feet hit the ground, Ruan Chanchan felt her entire body sway. She was not acting delicate. The trees in this era were taller than the skyscrapers; they were so tall that even Brachiosaurus would have a hard time reaching the top of these trees. And Xie Daiyu jumped past one tree after another; Ruan Chanchan, who had a little courage, couldn't take it!
She kneeled on the ground and dry-heaved. Earlier, she had only eaten a few packs of biscuits and nothing else. After all, Ruan Zeqiu was really stingy with salt, and he didn't know how to cook fish. Thus, he asked her to eat the fish raw, which made Ruan Chanchan's stomach so upset that she felt it whine.
Of course, she rejected it and went to sleep without bothering to eat the raw fish.
"You—what are you doing?" She turned to look at the mer with dissatisfaction and snapped angrily. "Because of you, I had to stay hungry for an entire night! Why are you bothering me tonight?"
"You are not a fool?" Xie Daiyu didn't answer her question; instead, he asked his own, which made Ruan Chanchan purse her lips.
Oops, she was so angry that she completely forgot about her persona.
"I don't know what you are talking about," she tried to pretend to be stupid, but Xie Daiyu was not fooled.
He squatted down and looked at Ruan Chanchan before saying, "You are not a fool. So why do you act as one?" As he spoke, he eyed her suspiciously.
Seeing that the mer was looking at her as if he were planning from which angle he needed to tear her body, Ruan Chanchan immediately turned to look at him and made up a story, "I have no other choice. As you can see, I have some skills better than others, and because of this, the Beast Goddess is worried that I will be bullied. She asked me to hide these skills, and I had no choice but to act as a fool."
"From Zeqiu too?"
"Yes," Ruan Chanchan nodded her head stiffly. She hoped that the Beast Goddess would forgive her for lying, but this was a matter of life and death. "I am still weak, and I just awakened a few days ago. So, I have no choice but to be very careful."
Xiao Xi looked at Ruan Chanchan, who seemed really nervous and said to her, "Don't worry, darling. The Beast Goddess will not say anything about this; she is depending on you to save this world."
Xie Daiyu studied Ruan Chanchan carefully. He didn't say anything for a long time, which made Ruan Chanchan nervous. After a very long pause, Xie Daiyu asked, "You talked with the Beast Goddess?"
Ruan Chanchan felt her lips twitch when she saw that Xie Daiyu was looking at her with eyes that were shining brighter than a 100-watt bulb. She wanted to refuse, but the lie had been told, and she couldn't take it back. She nodded and said, "Yes."
"Then—then did she tell you why she hadn't blessed the tribe for so long?" Xie Daiyu was a straightforward person; when he heard that Ruan Chanchan had talked with the Beast Goddess, he simply asked the one question that he had always wanted to ask.
When Ruan Chanchan heard his question, she stiffened before saying, "I don't know. I never asked, but the Beast Goddess blessed me because she wants me to help the tribe."
"Really?" Xie Daiyu's eyes, if possible, turned even brighter, and Ruan Chanchan felt even more guilty, but then she calmed herself down and thought that there was no need for her to feel bad. After all, she was indeed here to help the tribes of this world.
She nodded and then said to Xie Daiyu, "That's right. But I hope that you will not tell this matter to anyone yet. I am still trying to understand the blessing of the Beast Goddess, and if you announce this matter to others, it will be a big problem for me."
Ruan Chanchan was not lying when she said those words. After all, she was a simple woman with no beast core; if others were to find out that she had such a skill, who knows? Maybe they would try to kill her and snatch it from her?
Of course, they couldn't do it, but a person's heart couldn't be trusted.
