Chapter 366: Xiao Xi is Back
Ruan Chanchan sucked in a breath and calmed down. No, she needed to control her temper, or else she would end up being killed without being given a chance to explain herself. She wanted to defend herself, but before she could say anything, Rong Xian jumped to his feet. "Presumptuous! Do you think you can comment on my affairs? Am I such a person that I will stoop so low for a woman and lie just because she slept with me? If she were not my mate and a bitch who had schemed against me, I would have killed her before you all came to witness the scene."
When Ruan Chanchan heard his sentence, she shivered in fright. She had to admit that this mer was really ruthless; in just a few words, he actually cleared her of the suspicion, but at the same time, he forced her to recognise an identity that she did not want to admit at all, that she was the mate of the prince. Now that the identity had been disclosed, what was she going to do?
If she dared to refuse, then she was worried that the prince would kill her right then and there, as she had slept with him. This meant that she had no other choice but to accept him. Ruan Chanchan felt wronged, but there was nothing that she could do at the moment. If she dared to refuse, then the mer would definitely kill her. She could only lower her head and accept the task that had been placed on her head.
But do you think that if you don’t deal with this mer...then Xie Daiyu will leave you alone?
I don’t know, honestly—Ruan Chanchan was still thinking when suddenly, she snapped her head and looked behind her with a surprised look in her eyes. Xiao Xi! You are back!
The little volleyball system had finally returned, but he seemed a bit beaten up, as he had gone through a lot of ordeals. How come he looked so weatherborne?
What happened to you? Why are you in such a condition?
When Xiao Xi heard her question, he was so angry that he puffed up. He glared at Ruan Chanchan and said to her, "Isn’t it because of you? I tried to save you the last time and ended up getting punished because I saved you."
"Me?" Ruan Chanchan was stunned. How come she was the cause of his troubles?
"Of course you! You did not pay attention to what was happening around you and ended up falling into such a crudely made trap. If I were you, I would have thought things through before jumping into that pit. Do you even know that for the sake of protecting you, I had to use my own protective skills to keep your life intact? If not for the fact that I intervened to save your life, I am afraid you would have died. Ruan Chanchan, you really need to be careful about your life and surroundings."
Xiao Xi sneered and told Ruan Chanchan the truth. It was not that he was deliberately messing around with Ruan Chanchan, but there was no other option at that moment. Since he dared to use his own protection shields for Ruan Chanchan, he was punished by the main system. After all, the host was not supposed to be protected by their system. This was the rule that had long been stated and recorded in the rule book of the systems. According to the main system, the hosts were supposed to face their ordeals on their own, and the systems were supposed to just help them around when they needed.
They were not supposed to make a move until or unless the host was about to die.
But according to the main system, Ruan Chanchan was not in any kind of danger where she would lose her life.
Thus, Xiao Xi’s actions were nothing but unnecessary.
When Ruan Chanchan heard his response, she was speechless. She was about to almost lose her life for sure, just because the main system did not think that it was enough?
That’s because you almost lost your life. Note the word almost, will you?
Xiao Xi felt tired. He was locked up in a small, dark room, and no one let him out; only he knew how he spent the last few days! He was sure that he was going to lose his senses as a system and jump into the void with bugs infesting his motherboard.
When Ruan Chanchan heard that Xiao Xi was punished because of her, she was quite upset and guilty. She really did not expect that even the systems had so many rules. She rubbed her face with her hands and apologised. "I am sorry that you had to go through that. Believe me, I did not want that to happen." She truly did not want Xiao Xi to suffer so much. If she knew that the poor system would be punished for so long, then she would have rather gone through the pain on her own.
Xiao Xi also started to feel guilty when he saw Ruan Chanchan apologising. His expression turned stiff, and he said in a low voice, "There is no need to apologise. In the end, it was me who chose to save your life; it has nothing to do with you."
"When did you return?" Ruan Chanchan asked when she saw that the system had calmed down. She did not see Xiao Xi in the morning. Did he come back just now?
Xiao Xi glanced at her, and this time around, his expression turned even fiercer; he glared at her as if she had made some sort of ugly comment. "I returned around midnight, but you were too busy...it was good to see that you were not at all worried about me!" After he finished speaking, he actually burst into a fit of tears. To think that he was fretting over this woman for so many days, and she was actually having fun. Sure enough, women were just heartless creatures! They had no heart.
