Chapter 374: Returning To Tribe (II)
Xie Daiyu snorted. He did not believe a word that came out of the woman’s mouth. However, he still felt a bit comforted when he heard her say those words. "I heard about the good things that you have done. I must say that I am impressed." Their tribe had been trying to form an alliance with the Killer Whale Tribe for a while now, but they never succeeded. Who would have thought that they would succeed, all due to Ruan Chanchan?
"It is something that I should do. As your partner, this is the least I can do for you." Ruan Chanchan hurriedly pleased the mer when she saw that her flattery was working. She said to him with a sleazy smile on her face, "I am going to stand next to you as your partner. The least I can do is help you out whenever I can."
"Hmm." Xie Daiyu knew that the woman was pleasing him, but he deliberately let her please him. Who does not like to hear flattering words? He pursed his lips and said to her, "It is a good thing that you know your status."
"Of course, of course I do." Ruan Chanchan lowered her head so much that she could feel her entire body bending forward.
Rong Xian, who could see everything, was so angry that he couldn’t help but clench his fingers.
"Your highness, are you sure that you want to stay with a woman like her?" one of the members of the tribe could not help but ask in a low voice. The man blinked his eyes and tried his best to sow discord as he continued speaking. "I mean, I know that you are her mate, but look at her. She seems to be whipped into shape by someone. If this goes on, then I am afraid that the woman might..."
He trailed off before taking a peek at Rong Xian’s expression, and sure enough, the mer did not look good. If anything, he seemed to be pissed off. But no one knew whether he was angry because of Ruan Chanchan or because of what the man said. But the man seemed to think that it must be because of Ruan Chanchan. He glanced at Ruan Chanchan, who was speaking to Xie Daiyu and felt satisfied.
He did not want Ruan Chanchan to stay close to Rong Xian, nor did he have any intention of accepting her as the consort of the tribe. There were so many women who were skilled and strong. Why should they accept someone like Ruan Chanchan? Even if the woman was tricky and knew some skills, they were not enough for them to accept this woman.
It would be better if Rong Xian gave up on Ruan Chanchan. After all, there were many women who were a much better than Ruan Chanchan. They could serve this tribe even better. Why would they bring a woman like her into their tribe and even make her the consort of their tribe?
Humph! He would never agree to such a thing.
Ruan Chanchan had no idea that even before she left the tribe someone had started to scheme against her.
"Achoo! Achoo!" Ruan Chanchan sneezed twice as she sat on the back of a black bear. She looked around the crowd that had come to see her off and wondered, "Who? Who is it? Who is the one scheming against me?"
"You should stop asking this question and start wondering who is the one who is not scheming against you."
Xiao Xi rolled his eyes when he heard the same question for the umpteenth time. Was this a question that needed to be asked? As far as he knew, the enemies that Ruan Chanchan had collected could line up from one island to another. There was no reason to ask something like this.
Ruan Chanchan shot him a very dirty look upon hearing his words but did not say anything. Instead, he turned her attention to the person in front of her. Rong Xian had finally stopped sulking and was willing to meet with her. Even though she had gone to look for the mer earlier, he had refused to see her.
It was surprising that he was willing to come out and meet with her.
As usual, as he walked toward her, orbs of light seemed to be hooked to his skin. He came to a stop in front of Ruan Chanchan and said in a low voice, "Ruan Chanchan, I hope that you will keep your promise if you dare to betray me. Then I promise that will be the last thing you might do." His eyes flashed as he sneered at the woman in front of him. Did she think that he was someone she could use and throw? There was no way. If she thought that things were going to change, then she was certainly wrong.
Ruan Chanchan blinked her eyes. "Don’t worry. Since I have promised, I will certainly make sure to hold my end of the promise."
"You’d better." Rong Xian had no intention of questioning Ruan Chanchan at the moment either. He would watch her actions first.
"Of course."
Ruan Chanchan naturally had no intention of breaking her promise, so she did not feel any threat at the moment.
Fortunately for her and Rong Xian, Xie Daiyu had already shifted into his bear form; if he had not, then he would have quarrelled with Rong Xian then and there. In fact, even when he was in his bear form, he did not forget to let out a growl while looking at the mer.
Rong Xian only smiled at the bear, not at all fazed by his threatening stance, which only made Xie Daiyu even more upset. He glared at the mer but did not pounce on him upon receiving a gaze from his mother. Humph, he would deal with him later on. Did Rong Xian think that this was the end? Of course not!
