Daddy Zhou was stunned. He never expected Ruan Chanchan to stop him. This girl was such a fool, and she cared about mostly nothing around her. Her only worries were to eat, sleep and drink every day—when had this woman ever stopped him from taking the salt from her cave?
Though Daddy Zhou was annoyed, he still smiled at Ruan Chanchan stiffly. He said, "What's the matter, Chanchan? Do you want to play with Daddy Zhou? I know I promised to play with you, but I am in a hurry. How about this? You let me take this salt, and then we will play?"
There were times when Ruan Chanchan had caused trouble for Daddy Zhou, and this was how he had dealt with her. He would lie and fool her by saying that he would play with her after he returned from his cave, but once he got his hands on the salt, how could he linger around the cave that belonged to Ruan Chanchan and Ruan Zeqiu?
Was he not waiting to get beaten by Ruan Zeqiu if he lingered?
After he finished speaking, he reached out to grab the salt, but before he could, Ruan Chanchan stepped forward and said, "No!"
She was not going to let this mer take the salt, no matter what. Inwardly, she was already planning to look for another place to hide this salt. And by another place, she meant her space. She was going to put the bowl of salt in her space, where no one else but her could find it and then take it out whenever Ruan Zeqiu wanted it.
It was better than leaving it in the open like this. Anyway, as she was a 'fool, 'she could do anything she wanted, and Ruan Zeqiu would not push her for an answer, even if he did. Heh, she just needed to act stupid as if she had no idea what he was talking about.
That mer would soon give up.
However, her train of thought was interrupted when the mer in front of her raised his hand and slapped her hard. Now, one thing needed to be made quite clear: Ruan Chanchan was someone whose beastcore was broken, which meant that she didn't have the strength or the skills of the beastmen.
Compared to her, Daddy Zhou was a beastman whose beast core was intact, and his strength was also better than Ruan Chanchan's. So, how could it not hurt? Not only did his slap hurt, but it also nearly knocked a tooth out.
Ruan Chanchan raised her hand and touched her swelling cheek, and was quite sure that there must be five fingerprints imprinted firmly on her cheek.
[!!!]
[This beast! How dare he touch you, darling!?]
Xiao Xi was furious. Xiao Xi was enraged.
Ruan Chanchan was his darling host; even he would have to think twice before punishing her. How dare this stinky old mer hurt his host?
Xiao Xi wanted to electrocut this little stinky piece of poop when he received a warning.
[The system does not have the right to punish anyone other than his own.]
[If you use your powers on irrelevant people, you will be locked up in the dark room in the system space.]
Xiao Xi: >...<
This was not right! He wanted to complain! This is unfair to him and his host.
On the other hand, Ruan Chanchan had no idea that the little system was actually planning on filing a complaint to the main system because of her. She turned to look at Daddy Zhou, who snorted at her and spat in her face.
What was up with these people, and why did they want to always spit on her? Did her face look like a spittoon?
She immediately dove to one side and heard the mer say, "You crazy bitch, have you lost your mind? Have you forgotten who fed you when your brother went on a hunt and didn't return? How dare you go against me?"
It would have been better if Daddy Zhou had not reminded Ruan Chanchan of this memory. As soon as he finished speaking, the horrible memories of the past, where the previous Ruan Chanchan had eaten meat infested with white, wriggling and squiggling maggots, rushed back into her mind.
Oh, so it was this big bastard who gave her the maggot-infested meat?
If she was not wrong, he said that Ruan Chanchan was like a pet beast of his family. Since the meat turned rotten due to Ruan Zeqiu's refusal to hand him salt, he would let Ruan Chanchan eat the rotten meat.
This was the reason why Ruan Zeqiu, despite having a lot of differences with Daddy Zhou, let him steal the salt. He was worried that Ruan Chanchan would once again be fed rotten meat.
You old bastard!
His face looked so rotten; Ruan Chanchan didn't expect that his heart and his deeds were just as rotten! She gritted her teeth before opening her mouth wide, and just as Daddy Zhou reached to grab hold of the bowl of salt, Ruan Chanchan bit his hand.
"AHHHH!!"
Daddy Zhou didn't expect Ruan Chanchan to fight back at all. His eyes popped out of their sockets as he looked at Ruan Chanchan, who was biting his hand and saw the vindictive pleasure in her eyes.
Almost immediately, Daddy Zhou was scared silly by her look.
This woman no longer resembled a fool!
"Let go of me!" Daddy Zhou shrieked and flailed, but how could Ruan Chanchan let go of him so easily? This mer had caused so much trouble for her predecessor. So, even if she bit off his hand, it would not be enough!
You want to feed her maggot-infested meat, huh? Then she would bite his hand off!
How dare he! How dare he!
Ruan Chanchan didn't let go, and Daddy Zhou couldn't withstand the pain either; he reached out and grabbed a fistful of her hair and pulled harshly.
"Let go of me, you crazy fool!" He yelled so loudly that his scream echoed throughout the entire tribe.
