Guide To Train My Beast Husbands-Chapter 287: Doing what was best for her (II)

"Holy one, I cannot—"

"There is no need to be polite with me. What I give you is yours; you can take it back." Ruan Chanchan didn’t care about the little meat. Anyway, without soy sauce and other condiments, the meat tasted gamey and strange. More than the meat, what she liked was fish and eggs.

What was more, she knew if she didn’t give something to Su Mo, then the mer would only be tormented at the hands of his aunt, so she might as well give him a little something. Usually, she would not have done it, but Su Mo was too honest. If she didn’t help him, then this poor mer would rather starve himself than let that woman bully his uncle. He was that level of honest.

Ruan Chanchan did want to ask why his uncle was staying with this aunt of his, but held back. First of all, this matter was their personal matter and had nothing to do with her and secondly, even if she intervened, who knows whether Su Mo would like it or not? Since she didn’t know him that well, it was better to keep her suggestions to herself.

"Eat quickly," Seeing that the mer was still not speaking, she urged him to eat and then started on her meal as well.

Su Mo also started eating when he saw that Ruan Chanchan was not going to back down. He was worried that he would offend Ruan Chanchan, so he didn’t fight with her and started eating. When he tasted the salt, he couldn’t help but worryingly say, "Holy one, you don’t need to add salt to my meal. I can eat it bland. But if you continue exchanging salt with the beast goddess in exchange for your blood, the tribe leader will blame me."

"Don’t worry, I am here," said Ruan Chanchan as she took a bite of the meal that she had cooked. She frowned, wondering why this mer was making a fuss when she had clearly added a very small amount of salt to the meal. It seems like she had to be even more careful in the next few days, or else who knows what kind of fuss these people would make?

Knowing how honest they were, Ruan Chanchan had a feeling that it would be a big one.

"In a few days, there will be a trade market in the White Sheep Tribe. With me taking care of that trade, our tribe will only get better from here on out, so you don’t have to worry about anything."

Su Mo: "..." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

His little hand shook a bit as he felt like he had listened to some kind of secret that he should not have listened to at all.

"Come on, eat quickly; there will be quite a lot of fuss since we have so many uninvited guests." Ruan Chanchan urged the mer to continue eating. She had a feeling that they were not going to rest easy after this sudden visit.

On the other side, just as Nan Zhi heard that the Mighty Eagle Tribe was coming, she had no other choice but to ask the rest of the totem warriors to take the hollowed oaks back to the small mountains. They were worried about the people from the mighty eagle tribe trying to snatch things, as well as the design of the water reservoir.

"Hide everything that could be proven suspicious. We cannot let those people take advantage of our tribe," said Nan Zhi as she walked back to the tribe. She was worried that things might not remain under control if they were caught. The people of the mighty eagle tribe were greedy and would often bully others into submitting to them. This was something that Nan Zhi knew very well.

The totem warriors did as she asked, and at the same time, they were really troubled.

One of them could not help but ask Nan Zhi, "Why are they visiting us? I don’t think that we have any kind of connections with their tribe."

"Yeah, the last time we met with their people, they were mocking us, but that was it. We don’t have any other relationship with them, do we?"

"They are coming here because someone told them about the dried mushrooms and jerky." Nan Zhi was quite clear about what was going on. The tribe might be divided into two separate halves, but she was not as stupid as the rest of the tribe. She knew that something was going on with Shao Xia. That woman was acting a bit sneaky these days; she had been asking others whether they knew how to distinguish between edible and inedible mushrooms and fruits.

She even started taking an interest in cooking, which she hadn’t done before, as she believed that it was the task of the scouts. This alone proved that she had some crazy ideas and that she was keeping secrets from others. Nan Zhi at first thought that the woman was thinking of passing these skills to the other tribes, but it seemed that the woman had understood the importance of fire. She couldn’t move the fire to the Mighty Eagle Tribe, so she came up with another idea.

Making them come here.

Nan Zhi hated it when people betrayed the tribe. But was there anything that she could do to Shao Xia? There was no evidence that she had done it, so they could only suffer in silence, but that didn’t mean that she was going to let the woman leave so easily. One of these days, she would make her suffer!

Shao Xia felt a trickle of fear climb up her spine and turned to look behind her; she didn’t see anyone, but something told her that the rest of the tribe was staring at her with an unfriendly look in their eyes. She, however, didn’t care. Anyway, she had done nothing wrong. What she did was to find a way for her survival so no one could blame her!
