"What's going on?" Leader Xie raised her head and looked at her son, who shook his head.
Even though Xie Daiyu was nine out of ten, the cause of trouble in the tribe most of the time, this was not his fault. In fact, he felt quite annoyed that his mother pointed him out as the culprit even before the case was brought in front of her.
When Leader Xie saw that Xie Daiyu was shaking his head, she frowned and walked out of the cave. However, she didn't even take two steps out of the cave when one of the tribe members came running in a flurried motion.
"Leader Xie! Leader Xie! It is terrible!" the mer said to Leader Xie, whose frown deepened, and she ordered, "Stop."
She raised her hand and stopped the mer from yammering. She said to him, "Just tell me what is going on; there is no need for you to waste so much time and words."
The mer's face turned red, but he still held back his gossipy attitude and said to Leader Xie, "It's Ruan Chanchan and Zhou. The two of them are fighting outside the Ruan family cave. The fight is quite brutal, and the tribe members are asking me to get you."
When Leader Xie heard that Ruan Chanchan and Zhou got into a fight, she was stunned. As far as she knew, even if Ruan Chanchan was a fool, she was a pretty, docile fool. She would never do such a thing as fight someone for no reason.
Something must have provoked her.
And when Leader Xie thought about how Ruan Zeqiu had refused to join in the hunt because his sister was bullied, she felt her scalp tingle. She wondered how Ruan Zeqiu would react once he found out that his sister was once again bullied in the tribe.
These restless Beastmen! Why couldn't they stay still for a day for her?
This time, even Xie Daiyu turned worried. However, the reason he got worried had nothing to do with Ruan Zeqiu. He was simply worried about Ruan Chanchan and her safety. That woman was now blessed by the Beast Goddess, and she had some great powers.
What if that woman got hurt? Wouldn't the Beast Goddess get even angrier with them and their tribe?
Leader Xie and Xie Daiyu rushed to the Ruan family cave, where Leader Xie used her authority as the tribe leader and shouted, "STOP FOR ME!"
The woman was not declared the leader for no reason; she was strong and mighty. The second she raised her voice and yelled, her shout induced a fear so strong that both Ruan Chanchan and Daddy Zhou let go of one another instinctively.
However, it was only for a second. Daddy Zhou turned to look at Leader Xie and shuddered. He was worried that he would be punished, so he immediately started crying and said, "Tribe Leader, you need to help me. This girl— I just came to ask her if she was hungry, and she started hitting me. Wuwuwuwu! Is there no justice in this tribe? The old and young can be beaten at will?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Nian Zhi, who was also in the crowd, shouted, "Uncle Zhou is right! This, Ruan Chanchan, is simply too bold! She does whatever she wants and is lawless. She never listened to what others had to say, and now she has even started to beat others. I suggest we drive her away!"
"Shut up!" When Ye Qian Qian heard that Nian Zhi wanted to drive Ruan Chanchan away, she jumped like she was burnt by the holy fire. She turned and pointed her fingers at Nian Zhi before scolding him fiercely, "You stop speaking for me. Don't think that you can bully Sister Chanchan just because Zeqiu is not here."
"What, driving away? Ruan Chanchan and Ruan Zeqiu's mother fought for the safety of our tribe and saved us when the beasts were about to stampede on our tribe. They have the right to stay here, and they have that right more than you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Nian Zhi's expression changed, and his eyes turned red. He looked at Ye Qian Qian pitifully and looked quite upset. However, Ye Qian Qian didn't even look at him; she turned to look at Ruan Chanchan and smiled at her flatteringly.
Seeing this, Ruan Chanchan simply rolled her eyes. Humph, this woman now wanted to flatter her? It was too late! Ruan Chanchan was not so cheap that such a small thing could make her forget what this woman did to her and the previous owner.
When Nian Zhi helped him, Uncle Zhou was really happy and overjoyed, but when he saw Ye Qian Qian supporting Ruan Chanchan, he pursed his lips and glared at Ye Qian Qian, who rolled her eyes at him and said, "There is no point in glaring at me like that. Since you blamed Sister Chanchan, there had to be enough evidence to prove that she had done something wrong, right?"
"Look at this!" Uncle Zhou showed the bite mark on his wrist to everyone in the crowd. The mark was deep and scary; Ruan Chanchan had bitten so deeply that even the bone could be seen, which showed how vicious the bite was. "See this! See this! If someone hadn't come and pried this woman off me, she would have bitten my wrist off!"
After he had finished speaking, he turned and glared at Ruan Chanchan, who blinked innocently. But inwardly, she was cursing; oh, how she wished she could throw the entire person of a fool away and fight with this mer.
Just because the owner of this body was a fool, this mer was shamelessly trying to turn black into white.
Even Xiao Xi was upset. He was cursing a storm beside Ruan Chanchan.
[This lying, thieving mer! I will make sure that he gets the punishment he deserves! Just you wait, darling!]
How dare he falsely blame and accuse his host?
"If I may—"
