Hei Ya was very worried when he saw that his sister had attacked Xiao Ya. He didn’t care about the reason why Xiao Ya finally chose him; the only thing that mattered to him was that she finally picked him, and that alone was enough to make him feel settled. At least she chose him; what more could he ask for?
He hurried over and separated the two won from fighting any further. He was worried that his sister might end up beating Xiao Ya for real, and that she might get angry with him because of it. He pushed his sister to one corner and said to her angrily, "Sister, you don’t have to do this. You cannot just rush up to soone and start hitting them, co on, you need to apologise to Xiao Ya."
When Hei Bin heard this, she trembled with anger. "Hei Ya, you are an idiot. Are all the won in the tribe dead? Can you not pick anyone else other than her? If you keep harping on getting together with this woman, then you will embarrass not only yourself but also our family."
Hei Ya felt aggrieved when he heard his sister’s reprimand. He reached out to hold her hand and looked at her pleadingly. "Sister Bin—"
Hei Bin was really angry. She didn’t even give face to her brother and flung his hand away from her wrist. "You just keep abusing yourself. I cannot be bothered by you. When you get bullied by him in the future, don’t co ho with a crying face. I was a fool to care about you. I ca to stand up for you, and you still supported her? You make sick to the stomach."
Hei Bin was very angry with her brother. There were thousands of won in the tribe. Why was this brother of hers waiting for Xiao Ya? Even soone like Xie Daiyu changed his mind and stopped the imprinting ceremony when he saw that the woman had broken the promise of only choosing him. Moreover, Shao Xia was an even better totem warrior than Xiao Ya. If Xie Daiyu could give up on her, then why couldn’t Hei Ya? Why was he determined to cling to her?
Seeing Hei Ya clinging to Xiao Ya made Hei Bin really angry. How could he be so disgusting? He was still sticking to Xiao Ya even after seeing her get involved with another r. It was really, truly disgusting. Seeing Hei Ya act like a simp, Hei Bin wanted to slap the r to death, but what could she even do? This r was her own brother, but even then she didn’t want to care about him.
"You can do whatever you want; I will not care about you."
Hei Bin was also determined to make her brother understand and see through the real colours of these people. She turned on her feet and then marched away from Hei Ya, leaving the r in a stunned silence. He wanted to say sothing, but in the end, he could only swallow his words back.
On the other side, Ruan Chanchan was looking at the woman who had co looking for her with such a confused look on her face that she didn’t know where to even begin. "What are you doing here?"
She knew that this woman would co looking for her sooner or later, but she never thought that Li Nuanzi would co looking for her so soon. She pursed her lips and waited for the woman to speak, even though she knew that nothing good would co out of the mouth of this woman. But to her surprise, Li Nuanzi didn’t co to look for her because she wanted to corner her when she was alone. Instead, she looked around the cave and slowly turned to look at Ruan Chanchan before saying to her, "Where do you usually put those instant noodles?"
"Ah!" Ruan Chanchan clasped her hands together. She looked at the woman, and suddenly she could hear the ringing and jingling of money falling into her account. She smiled at the woman and said to her with the smile of a professional swindler, "Ah, it is not sothing that you can find just because you want to. This is sothing that only I can ask from the beast goddess. Of course, I don’t ask for them without a reason."
She then cupped her cheek and stated, "I an—it does take a lot of energy."
Li Nuanzi had a feeling that the woman was lying to her, but she just couldn’t prove it!
"You did say that you were willing to exchange the supplies for two hundred tubes of salt—"
"That was indeed the case, but that was simply the price for the supplies; if you want to get the instant noodles, then the price naturally would rise. After all, it is sothing rare and cannot be found just about anywhere."
Since the prey had finally taken the bait, Ruan Chanchan was determined to make this woman bleed dry. Earlier this woman was making quite a fuss, which annoyed her; now she would obviously have to make this woman suffer, or else who knows when she might get the chance to make so money out of her.
With that thought in her mind, Ruan Chanchan smiled even more widely at the woman whose expression shifted to one of unease. Even though the woman didn’t say anything, Li Nuanzi knew that this woman was scheming behind her back. However, even though her mind was telling her that she should turn on her feet and escape before the woman could even co up with a plan to rob her, but the temptation to eat the instant noodles was way too intense for her to turn and leave.
She paused and hesitantly asked, "And by how much will the price be increased?"
Ruan Chanchan snapped her fingers before saying, "I truly like that you are so straightforward. Then—" she tapped her chin and raised five fingers up in the air.
