When Sun Cao saw that Ruan Chanchan was not saying anything, he turned worried. He imdiately banged his head harshly on the ground and said to Ruan Chanchan, "I promise that I will serve you and Zeqiu all my life as long as you treat my daughter."
Sun Cao was all alone. The woman who had children with him had moved on with another r and was now the mother of ten children, two of them being boys. Clearly, she doted on those children more than the sickly child that he had given birth to. Sun Cao didn’t bla the woman, as he knew that strong children were the pillars of the tribe and every woman wanted strong children to continue their legacy.
The child he gave birth to was too weak and couldn’t awaken her beast form. When his partner saw that she was useless, she moved on with another r who could give birth to powerful children. Sun Cao did not have any grounds to stop her and could only raise the child himself. Anyway, this was sothing that happened all the ti.
Strong beast won, n and rs would change partners all the ti to give birth to strong warriors; unless they went through the sacred mating ceremony, no one was responsible for the children that they had with rs whom they had not marked.
Many rs would abandon their children as well, but Sun Cao couldn’t do it. He did think about doing it, but in the end, he gave up the idea when he saw his child crying her lungs out the second he left her behind. He didn’t want to leave the poor girl alone.
And now that he had raised her for so many years, it was natural that the r had gotten attached to the little girl. He couldn’t imagine his life without his chirpy daughter. If not, he too would have turned a blind eye to her plight like her mother.
Ruan Chanchan was speechless. What was up with these guys and their fetish of kneeling in front of her and promising that they would serve her? Nuan Nuan was the sa; when his wife woke up, he ca to thank her and promised that he would formally thank her after his wife got better. Maybe he felt that he was too insincere, but he said to Ruan Chanchan that he was willing to serve her all his life.
It was only when she told him that she didn’t need him to do that, nor was she looking for a servant, that the r left her alone.
Having suffered enough due to her arrogance, Ruan Chanchan didn’t dare to act smug anymore. She could only keep a low profile and ensure that things didn’t head south.
"There is no need for you to serve ," Ruan Chanchan waved her hand. She then looked at Ruan Zeqiu, who was shaking his head at her and said to him, "Let’s go and take a look, what’s the worst that could happen?"
Oh, if only she knew!
Ruan Zeqiu rolled his eyes. He didn’t want to get too involved with the tribe mbers. After all, when their mother died, they were quite quick to cut him and his sister off. If he had not awakened as a warrior beast r, the elders would have kicked them out of the tribe. Fortunately, he was lucky enough to awaken, and the Tribe Chief was kind enough to give him and his sister a place to stay, or else they would be long dead by now.
And how these people treated his sister, he hadn’t even begun to think about it.
Just because he didn’t speak of those grudges didn’t an that he had forgotten all about them. He still rembered them; they were quite fresh in his mind! However, even though he was still holding a grudge against the tribe mbers, his sister was way too kind. She was still looking out for these people even though they didn’t deserve it.
Ruan Zeqiu snorted, but he still followed Ruan Chanchan and Sun Cao to the cave where Sun Cao lived with his daughter. The cave where Sun Cao lived was far away from the cave where they lived.
When Ruan Chanchan arrived at the cave where Sun Cao lived, she realised that the r didn’t live alone, but there were many rs who were living with him. Seeing the condition of the cave, she couldn’t help but frown. Seeing the frown on the face of his sister, Ruan Zeqiu explained to Ruan Chanchan, "Sun Cao is not a warrior kind beast r. His beast form is a small squirrel. He can at most collect a few fruits and nuts. And without a woman taking care of him, he has no other choice but to stay with the orphans and the abandoned."
Ruan Chanchan nodded. However, she was filled with a hint of dissatisfaction when she saw the condition of the cave. It was neither clean nor a place to stay; no wonder the children here were falling sick one after another. How were they going to survive if the adults didn’t even pay attention to the hygiene around them? No wonder the death rates of these kids were so high.
However, Ruan Chanchan knew that this was not the ti for her to talk about hygiene and whatnot with Sun Cao. She hurriedly followed the r at the deepest part of the cave, where she found a little girl lying on a stack of fresh leaves.
"Papa."
The little girl muttered in a daze when Sun Cao knelt next to her and placed his hand on her forehead. He raised his head, and with worry coating every crease of his face, he said to Ruan Chanchan, "It has been like this ever since she fell unconscious. She keeps calling for and yet doesn’t open her eyes. I think it’s because she is in too much pain. Chanchan, can you take a look at my daughter and see what is going on?"
