Guide To Train My Beast Husbands-Chapter 262: Bribe (II)

Fan Gua was speechless. He raised his hand and twisted on his feet before glaring at Ruann Zeqiu, "Why did you kick me again?"

"Don’t speak ill of my sister."

Fan Gua: "...." Psychopath. A true psychopath.

On the other side, Ruan Chanchan had no idea what kind of war she had set on fire. She was wading her way toward the north, where the leader of the patrolling team was at the moment.

"Are you sure that you saw a nether abyss spider dragon?" she heard the leader of the patrolling team say to the mer next to her.

The mer nodded heavily before saying in a solemn voice, "I did see the nether abyss spider dragon, and it is not a good sign. The fact that such beasts are showing up so close to the tribe...it feels like there is going to be trouble this summer. The last time this happened, there was a drought, and the river close to the tribe attracted these beasts. I am afraid that something similar is going to happen this time around as well."

After he finished speaking, the mer was even more worried.

They already knew that there was something amiss with the current situation. After all, there were all sorts of rumours going around in the capital as well as the tribes around them. It seemed like there was a sudden rise in temperature, and even the high priest of the imperial family gave a warning to the tribes around the capital to be wary and secure water resources as soon as possible. And if they could not reserve water resources, the least they could do was to move to a place where there was water.

With the appearance of these beasts, it only amplified the worries of the totem warriors.

Because the last time they saw these beasts appear was when the drought happened, and they had nowhere to go.

"We have to do something about the appearances of these beasts." Leader Luo said with a frown on her face. With her expression turned taut, she turned to look at the horizon from where the nether abyss spider dragon came from. She was worried that if these beasts didn’t stop coming, then their tribe would be in grave danger. "We cannot let them trespass on our lands, or else we will be killed before we can even understand what is coming for us."

Leader Luo knew very well how strong beasts like the nether abyss spider dragon could be. They were not only fast but also incredibly strong and poisonous. The fumes alone from their nostrils were enough to kill ten of their tribe members. She knew the damage that these beasts could bring to their tribe; after all, she had seen them do it more than once. The fear that had been stagnated in her heart after the chaos that these beasts had caused in the past was no joke!

"Leader Luo?"

Leader Luo’s thoughts came to a sudden halt when she heard someone call her. She turned and saw Ruan Chanchan walking over to where she was standing. All of a sudden, she had a very good idea why Ruan Chanchan came to look for her.

Leader Luo was not worried; in fact, she was rather well prepared about how to deal with Ruan Chanchan. And she was about to launch a tirade of what she wanted to say to Ruan Chanchan, but before she could do that, Ruan Chanchan took out a dainty-looking package and handed it to her.

"Leader Luo, I heard that you have been taking good care of my brother for a while now," said Ruan Chanchan as she handed the pack of dumplings to Leader Luo. "This is a little gift that I brought for you. Something the beast goddess has blessed me with—if you like these dumplings, then I will bring some for you tomorrow as well. Just let me know."

That was all that Ruan Chanchan said to Leader Luo before spinning on her feet and walking away, leaving Leader Luo to gape at her. The woman opened her mouth and then closed it before tilting her head to one side. What was this? She was prepared for a war, but nothing like that happened. Now, what was she supposed to do with the myriad of things that she wanted to say? 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

She turned and looked at the mer behind her and said, "Did that woman really just walk away without fighting back?" She was certain that Ruan Chanchan was going to make a fuss, but that woman— she left without saying anything. What was she supposed to make out of this situation?

"I think she wants to bribe you, leader," the mer wisely concluded. "That’s why she gave you something that the beast goddess has blessed her with."

As soon as the mer finished speaking, Leader Luo’s eyes brightened. She seemed to have understood what Ruan Chanchan’s intentions were and snapped her fingers. "You are absolutely right. This must be the reason behind her goodwill. She is trying to bribe me into giving in."

Leader Luo was determined not to fall for Ruan Chanchan’s tricks, as she didn’t want to be blamed by the elders. What was more, Leader Luo knew that if she were to help Ruan Chanchan and let Ruan Zeqiu off the hook easily, then the elders would definitely blame her. It was better to listen to the elders and save her own skin, but—

The scent of these dumplings was too tempting!

She looked down at the box that Ruan Chanchan had given to her and wanted to throw it away, but even when her mind kept telling her to throw it away, she couldn’t dump it!

Gulp.

Leader Luo swallowed hard. Her eyes were filled with greed as she looked at the dumplings that were glistening inside the small package made of green leaves.

"No, leader Luo." The mer sensed what was going on in Leader Luo’s head, and he immediately stopped her. "You cannot eat those dumplings! If you eat them, then what answer will you give to the elders?"
