Guide To Train My Beast Husbands-Chapter 207: Someone ---I know

"Anyway, do you have any other orders for me?" Yuan Ni asked.

He had been feeling guilty for a long time and wanted to get rid of the feeling that kept pressing in his heart. Maybe once he had made up for the mistake that he had made, these weird feelings that he had for Ruan Chanchan would disappear. Yuan Ni felt like these feelings that he had in his heart were due to the guilt that he felt for Ruan Chanchan. Once things had settled down, maybe things would get better for him, and these inexplicable feelings would die down.

"I just want you to look for someone who could help me around with things." She paused and added, "I need someone who is quick-witted and hard-working." Ruan Chanchan listed the number of requirements that she had regarding the person whom she wanted.

"Are you looking for a slave?" Yuan Ni asked with an unnatural expression on his face. He recalled his grandfather pushing him to get close to Ruan Chanchan. Tell him that he could become her equal husband if he were to follow her properly. If the woman were happy, then she would certainly accept him. If she were to accept him, then he would definitely live a good life.

"What do you mean by slave?? Why would I want a slave?" Ruan Chanchan jumped like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She looked at the mer with a glare and said, "I never said that I was going to make someone my slave. I just want someone to help me out."

Where did the mer even get the idea that she wanted to get a slave for herself? Were she and he on a different plane? Was he listening to something else that she was saying to him? How did he come up with such a twisted theory?

Slave? She was from a very open and free society, alright. This was an insult to her.

"I—I didn’t mean anything by these words. I mean, you were the one who said that you wanted someone to work for you, did you not?" Yuan Ni remarked with his cheeks reddened. He realised that he had misunderstood Ruan Chanchan, but at the same time, he couldn’t understand what Ruan Chanchan was trying to say. She was the one who said that she wanted someone quick-witted and hard-working. If she didn’t want a slave, then why did she tell him such a thing?

He had heard a lot from his grandmother. She told him that women liked mers who worked hard and took care of the women. If he were to take on household work, then maybe she would also like him—

Wait a second.

What was he even thinking? Why would she even like him? And why would he even care whether or not she liked him? 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"I just asked you to bring me someone who can help me. Where did I utter the word slave here?" Ruan Chanchan frowned and asked. She was certain that there was something very wrong with this mer. Because he always jumped to extremes. The last time, as well, he went ahead and picked the most drastic measure to scheme against her. Ruan Chanchan was certain that there was a much better and less harmless way to scheme against her. Why would he choose the most dangerous one?

"It’s just..." he paused and then changed his words once again. "I know someone who could help you—"

"Really?" Ruan Chanchan’s eyes lit up. Originally, she wanted to ask Xie Daiyu, but changed her mind at the last moment because she didn’t want to cause trouble for the mer any more than she already had. She was already troubling him enough.

Yuan Ni’s eyes flashed with a hint of reluctance. He wanted to take the job and stay beside Ruan Chanchan’s side, but then again, his grandmother had accepted him despite all his flaws and mistakes. If he let her down this time again, then he would have no face to see her in the eye ever again. He also needed to work hard and avenge his parents, who were killed by the totem warriors of the black snake tribe.

When his grandmother scolded him this time around, she didn’t hide the secret of his parents’ death. She told him that the two of them were killed by the black snake tribe as they wanted to weaken the Big Bear tribe. And he was no longer at the age where he could act wilful. He needed to grow up and learn a few things. After learning the truth, Yuan Ni could not sleep for days as he realised how much his grandmother had sacrificed due to his selfish childishness.

It was as if he grew up overnight, and when he woke up this morning, he had only one thought in his mind, and that was that he wanted to avenge his parents at all costs, and there was nothing that was going to stop him. Since that was the case, there was no way he could work alongside Ruan Chanchan.

If he worked for her, then he wouldn’t be able to train as the next priest of the tribe, and his grandmother told him that she didn’t have much spiritual energy left in her totem core; sooner or later, she would either lose her core or she would end up dying. It would be better if he learnt how to control his powers as the next priest and her heir. If not, then this tribe would end up not existing, as the beastmen council wouldn’t allow a tribe without a priest or priestess to exist.

Yuan Ni had long realised that there was a great responsibility on his shoulders, and he couldn’t just play around like he used to do in the past.

"What’s wrong? Are you alright? Is the person hard to find?" Ruan Chanchan asked with a frown. She could see that there was something heavy on the mind of the mer. Otherwise, he wouldn’t look so conflicted. It was written on his face. Sometimes he would frown and sometimes he would pout. There were several times when he gritted his teeth and started grinding them.

"No. It’s nothing like that—it’s just that inviting that person will be difficult. But if he agrees to help you, then even our tribe will prosper."
