Guide To Train My Beast Husbands-Chapter 317: Landing in quite a predicament (II)

Hei Bin felt guilty when she said those words; clearly Ruan Chanchan was a victim, but now she had to turn the story around in such a way that it would look like she fell off the cliff by slipping. She felt sorry for Ruan Chanchan, but what could she do? She also had to protect her foolish brother.

"Where did you see it?" Chief Xie asked at once. They had been looking for Ruan Chanchan all over the tribe; now that they hadn’t found any clues, of course, they were willing to take their chances and cling to whatever sign they could find. How could they not when the situation had turned so dire? Ruan Chanchan was not a careless and crude person; she would never play a prank like this on Xie Daiyu, especially after hearing that he was pregnant.

The fact that she hadn’t appeared yet could only prove one thing: that there was something wrong with Ruan Chanchan, and she couldn’t appear in the tribe for the time being.

"On the cliff..." Hei Bin quickly answered. She wanted to get this over with as soon as possible because she was worried that if she dragged this matter out any longer, she would end up saying the truth to the chief. After all, she was already feeling very guilty about lying to the chief and hiding the truth.

What was more, she knew that there were a lot of loopholes in her statement. If someone cottoned on, then there was a very good chance that she might be caught. She didn’t want that to happen. So Hei Bin ushered everyone to follow her quickly. Behind her, the rest of the tribe followed in a hurry. When they arrived at the cliff, they did see a piece of animal skin fluttering in the wind. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

This kind of beast-skin clothing was what Ruan Chanchan wore every day; thus, everyone knew that it belonged to her!

"Ruan Chanchan!" Xie Daiyu’s expression changed, and he almost jumped down the cliff as well if not for Aunt Ye stopping him. He looked at the flowing stream, and his eyes started to sting. He turned around and looked at his mother before saying, "Mother, Ruan Chanchan is not a fool. She would never come over to this cliff for no reason; I think there is something wrong. Someone must have pushed her off, Mother. I have a feeling that someone did something to harm her."

Xie Daiyu knew Ruan Chanchan all too well. She was not only careful; she was also very cautious. There was no way she could have just fallen off the cliff. He didn’t believe that it was even possible.

With that thought in his head, he turned to look at Hei Bin.

When Hei Bin saw that the mer was looking at her, her heart skipped a few beats. She smiled at the mer and asked hesitantly, "What is the matter, Brother Daiyu?" Did she give away something? She didn’t think so, but at the same time, she couldn’t be sure, as Xie Daiyu was really smart when it came to certain things. She pursed her lips, hoping that Xie Daiyu wouldn’t question her, because if he did, then she would be busted!

Xie Daiyu shook his head. He knew Hei Bin; the woman was not only kind but also rather careful. She would never do such a thing. So who harmed his destined one?

"Do you think that she is dead?"

"She should be...she had been floating for so long and hasn’t moved an inch."

"Should we feed her to the beasts? It would be a shame if she started to swell and rot right here. It’s so close to our tribe." ’

Ruan Chanchan snapped her eyes open. The first thing she realised was that she was very —wet. Frowning hard, she turned and looked around her. The more she looked around, the more she saw water stretching out all over the place. At first, she couldn’t understand what was happening, but then she thought about it a little and soon the memories of what happened last time flashed in her head.

Her expression shifted and became quite twisted. That damned Hei Ya! He better hope that she would never be able to return to the tribe because if she returned to the tribe, she was going to tattle-tale right away! How dare that brat cause trouble for someone as great as her? She was doing so much for the tribe; she should have been allowed to sit on the throne and declared the queen of the tribe, but instead, she was being treated like she had committed some crime.

She really wanted to go on strike.

But then again, her situation was no different from going on a strike.

Ruan Chanchan sighed again and again, wondering where she had gone wrong. She had clearly done so much for the tribe, and yet she was being treated like this.

She closed her eyes and allowed her body to float in the water; if she was being truthful, she was quite tired at that very moment.

"Are you trying to drown yourself, Miss Ruan?"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Ruan Chanchan’s eyes flew open, and she looked at the person in front of her with a shocked and terrified look in her eyes. "Your highness?"

Rong Xian smiled at the woman in front of him. He asked in a low voice, "What happened to you, Miss Ruan? You look like you are in a terrible situation." He looked at the wound on her back and the little scratches on her face as if she had taken quite a lot of toll. "Didn’t I say that you should leave that tribe and follow me? But you were stubborn and didn’t listen to me. Now look at what has happened. You look like you were being chased by something terrible."

Indeed, Ruan Chanchan was chased by a maniac, but she was not going to tell Rong Xian that. Instead, she looked at him and asked in a low voice, "Where am I?"

"Where do you think you are, Miss Ruan?"
