Ruan Chanchan closed her eyes and inhaled deeply. Upon hearing Xiao Xi's reminder, even though she wanted to lose her temper, she knew that she could only hold it in. So, she simply curled her lips and said to the mer with a fake smile, "Fine, I will cook the noodles for you till Shunla."
When Xie Daiyu heard Ruan Chanchan's words, he heaved a sigh of relief. Honestly, he was sure that he was going to suffer a loss, but it seemed like he had wronged Ruan Chanchan. She was a good beastwoman, even if she was a bit crazy.
He nodded and handed the large dinosaur leg to Ruan Chanchan and said to her, "As promised."
Ruan Chanchan heaved a sigh of relief and took the dinosaur leg from Xie Daiyu. Before leaving, she turned to look at him and said, "I will meet you at the same spot. You can bring the stone bowl this time." The last time, she nearly cracked her waist while trying to bring the stone bowl to the riverside and she didn't even get to eat much.
Xie Daiyu looked at her frail figure and thin arms before nodding in understanding. Ruan Chanchan was so weak that she was even bullied by the children of the tribe. With her twig-like arms, it was a miracle that she didn't snap them the last time she dragged the stone bowl out of the cave.
"Alright."
Ruan Chanchan waved her hand when she heard the response of the mer and turned to walk down the path from where she had come. Of course, she was super careful not to be caught by others. Even though she had only transmigrated into this tribe a few days ago, she knew that Xie Daiyu was like a superstar for these tribe members. The last thing she wanted was to get smothered by the crazy fans of this mer.
Having almost been stampeded by the fans of an idol, Ruan Chanchan was very much aware of how it felt and was not at all keen about going through the same experience.
Xie Daiyu watched her leave and rubbed his chest slightly. For some reason, as the scent of primarose started to fade, his heart started to ache. As if he wasn't supposed to let go of this scent.
Shaking his head, he turned around on his feet and headed up the trail once again. When he returned home, his daddy, who was waiting for him, was stumped when he noticed the amount of meat. He frowned and asked, "Where is the giant dinosaur leg? Did your mother not give it to you?"
"I gave it to the needy." Xie Daiyu dumped the meat that he had brought with him on the floor and walked toward the side of his cave where he usually slept. After going for a hunt to kill an Argentinosaurus, he was tired and sleepy. He had to wake up before the sun rose because they needed to dig a trap to trip the beast.
When Daddy Xie heard that his son had given away the meat, he became exasperated. He turned to look at his son and said to him, "Daiyu, how many times have I told you? You don't need to act so charitable. If you continue like this, those useless beasts will continue to take advantage of you."
Xie Daiyu didn't say anything and simply closed his eyes before going to sleep.
Daddy Xie's temper rose even higher when he saw that his son was ignoring him. He wished he could spank him, but held himself back.
'Humph, since he doesn't listen to me, what's the point of wasting my breath? I might as well talk to his mother. Only she can straighten this brat up,' thought Daddy Xie.
While Xie Daiyu was taking his much-wanted nap, Ruan Chanchan heaved the dinosaur meat back to the cave.
"Sister, where did you bring this meat from?" Ruan Zeqiu was pacing inside the cave when he saw Ruan Chanchan return. He was worried that his sister would end up getting bullied again, but why did it look like this time around, it was his sister who bullied someone?
Ruan Chanchan handed the meat to Ruan Zeqiu and said to him, "Exchange with Flame Fruit."
She only said a few words, but she cleared up Ruan Zeqiu's doubts with just one sentence.
When Ruan Zeqiu heard that his sister had exchanged this meat for the flame fruit, his eyes turned red. Sure enough, his sister had gotten better. After all, his greedy sister had never been a fan of sharing, and she would rather fight to the death than share her Flame fruit. Today, for him, she actually handed her most precious Flame fruit to someone else.
"Sister, don't worry. I will bring more fruits for you," said Ruan Zeqiu with teary eyes.
"Don't need," Ruan Chanchan told him as she handed the meat to him and walked outside the cave. There was a small waterfall that flowed right next to the cave where they lived. So, taking advantage of the free water source, Ruan Chanchan washed the blood off her hands.
When Ruan Zeqiu saw Ruan Chanchan washing her hands, he said to her, "Sister, what do you think you are doing? Why did you wash your hands?"
Wasn't licking blood a good thing?
"It's dirty. You wash your hands, too." Ruan Chanchan decided that now that she was given the responsibility to take care of this tribe and make them learn about hygiene and cooking meat, she might as well start it from her own home.
When Ruan Zeqiu heard the words of his sister, his eyes widened. He wanted to say something, but upon being glared at by his sister, he obediently washed his hands without saying another word.
By the time he realized what had happened, he was simply speechless.
His sister was not even perfectly well yet, and she was already ordering him around. What would happen once she got healed completely?
