Guide To Train My Beast Husbands-Chapter 195: Rice

Ruan Chanchan had no idea that the mer behind her had started to have all kinds of feelings for her inexplicably. She was slowly making her way to the mountains with Ye Qian Qian turning into a big, king-kong-sized ape. She picked up Ruan Chanchan into her hands and then climbed up the mountains with Yuan Ni following behind them closely in his beast form.

When everyone saw Ruan Chanchan heading up to the mountains, they all smiled. They had eaten the mushrooms, and they had tried the bamboo shoots, and they all knew that it was all thanks to Ruan Chanchan that they were able to get their hands on these things. If not for her, then they would still be worried about starving in the winter.

Now, everyone in the tribe believed that Ruan Chanchan was good. No one dared to say that Ruan Chanchan was not good for Xie Daiyu. She was smart and had wisdom that no one in this entire world had; if she were snatched away by someone else, then they wouldn’t even have the time to cry.

So, no one dared to say a single word to Ruan Chanchan.

Except for Shao Xia, she was really angry with the entire situation. She had used one of her most loyal dogs to bite Ruan Chanchan, and in the end, the dog bit her in the back and became Ruan Chanchan’s dog. She was not punished because she hadn’t done anything inexplicable that could be caught, at least, and leaving her way out had given her some relaxation.

Though she was furious at the thought of Ruan Chanchan winning this round, she knew that there was nothing she could do at the moment. At most, Shao Xia could only wait and hope to get another opportunity. Even though she couldn’t deal with Ruan Chanchan for the time being, Shao Xia knew that sooner or later she would kill that woman. There was plenty of time.

Shao Xia shot one last venomous look at Ruan Chanchan before turning around and leading her team out of the territory.

Ruan Chanchan had no idea that Shao Xia was still not willing to let her off; if she did, then she would definitely question the woman: What are you going to take in exchange for letting me off!?

Unfortunately, at that moment, she was looking around the mountains and finally found a little paddy that could be cleaned and used to grow rice. Her eyes brightened as she walked over to the paddy and carefully looked at the black soil that was scattered inside the water that had engulfed the entire land. Her eyes lit up, and she turned to look at the two people behind her.

She called them over and said to them, "Can this paddy be cleaned? I mean, is it safe to come here?"

Yuan Ni walked over to the land where Ruan Chanchan was pointing and frowned hard. She replied, "Well, this place is still under our territory, so we can come here without worrying about the death hunter attacking us. But why?"

"I have something that we can grow in this land. This grain can be stored and kept for a long time without us worrying about it going bad," said Ruan Chanchan. Rice, as long as it was kept with care, could be stored for a long time; at least it could support them throughout the winter. "And that too without salt."

When Ye Qian Qian and Yuan Ni heard her response, their eyes lit up. They looked at the piece of paddy as if they were looking at a rare treasure. Their eyes were filled with an inexplicable joy.

"Are you sure about it?" Ye Qian Qian asked, as she had never heard something so good. She simply found it unbelievable. How could there be such a good thing? A crop that could be stored for a long time, and that too without salt? It was simply telling her that the gates of the heavens were just ten steps away.

Ruan Chanchan nodded solemnly. "Though it will take a lot of hard work, it will also give us some great fruits."

Yuan Ni clapped his hands and smiled. His eyes crinkling into crescents as he praised Ruan Chanchan, "This is really great. If we have something this good, then we don’t have to worry about getting starved to death. We can save this crop for winter and give it to the old and the young. You are really great, Ruan Chanchan. Because of you, our tribe will only get better and better from here."

Ruan Chanchan felt a bit smug when she heard Yuan Ni praising her. She puffed her chest out and grinned happily. "I am not that impressive." She waved her hand and feigned shyness while saying a few words modestly. No one disliked getting praised, especially after being treated like a deadbeat dog for so long.

Ye Qian Qian looked at the two of them. One was willing to play the tune, and the other was willing to dance to it. There was no need for her to intervene between the two of them. She simply waited for the two to stop, but when they didn’t, she raised her voice and cleared her throat.

"Back to the topic, what exactly is this crop that you speak so highly of?"

Ye Qian Qian was rather curious. She had never heard of or seen such a crop that could live through the winter, that too without salt.

"Kekeke." Ruan Chanchan smiled mysteriously before taking out a handful of rice from the wicker basket and showing it to Ye Qian Qian and Yuan Ni. "Behold, as you are about to witness the glory of the mighty sight of rice. The rocking sensation that is about to grip the entire nation."

Yuan Ni: "..." I have no idea what she said, but I will clap my hands because it is her.

Ye Qian Qian: "..." Since when did the two of us develop a language barrier? Why can I not understand what she is saying?

Ruan Chanchan waited and waited and waited some more. But neither Ye Qian Qian nor Yuan Ni seemed to have understood anything. The two of them continued to stare at her as if they had no idea what kind of language she was even speaking to them.

"Speak in their language, darling," said Xiao Xi sweetly. "They cannot understand this modern slang."

When Ruan Chanchan heard Xiao Xi’s response, she rolled her eyes and then explained to them, "This is the crop that the gods and goddesses in heaven eat. You will never find crops like this anywhere else. I am the only one blessed with the knowledge of how to grow these crops."

Only then did the two of them show her some reaction. They looked at the rice with a gleam in their eyes. The look in their eyes was no different from the ladies who looked at the special discounted items on the shelves. Ruan Chanchan shuddered upon seeing the look in their eyes and instinctively took a few steps back. She was worried that they might just jump on her like those women jumped on the discounted items.

Well, they have faced starvation for years. For them, this crop is nothing less than the leniency sent by the gods themselves, said Xiao Xi kindly. Though he didn’t like Yuan Ni and Ye Qian Qian because both of them had bullied Ruan Chanchan, he still understood their feelings. After all, for years they had starved in winter and watched people die; the appearance of rice might help them live a much better life.

Ruan Chanchan thought about how happy the people of the tribe became when they realised that they finally had something to eat in the winter, and then thought about how many people had died in the tribe because they didn’t have enough to eat. She understood the reason for their excitement and suppressed the fear in her heart. She pursed her lips and said, "We can grow rice saplings from these rice grains. The weather is just perfect for them to grow, and we can harvest them before winter."

Yuan Ni’s porcelain face flushed red as he thought about eating the food that the gods in heaven ate. He asked excitedly, "Can we really eat the food that the beast goddess eats? Will it not be a sin? I mean, it’s like taking food from the gods."

Ye Qian Qian agreed with him, but Ruan Chanchan, however, had her own reasoning. She shook her head. "The beast goddess gave these grains to me. If she thought that it was a sin, then she wouldn’t have given them to me. The beast goddess must find our tribe quite pitiful, which is why she shared these grains with us. By questioning the beast goddess, you are insulting the sentiment behind her blessing."

Yuan Ni immediately covered his mouth and looked around as if worried that the beast goddess would hear him and get angry at them for insulting her. He then turned to look at Ruan Chanchan and said, "Did she hear me? I don’t want her to get angry at me because I said something wrong. Will everything be fine?"

Ruan Chanchan found his actions a bit cute. She smiled at him and said, "It’s fine. The beast goddess will not get angry at something so small."
