Ruan Zeqiu pulled his sister back almost immediately and glared at Shao Xia. While holding Ruan Chanchan by her arm, he said to Shao Xia, "Why are you taking your anger out on the weak!? If you have the guts, then go and fight with Brother Daiyu. Let's see if he will let you go without breaking your arm this time around."
For a second, Ruan Chanchan was certain that this woman named Shao Xia was about to punch this small boy behind her in the face, but the woman simply sneered before turning around on her feet and walking away.
Seeing her walk away, both Ruan Zeqiu and Ruan Chanchan heaved a sigh of relief. With Shao Xia gone, Ruan Zeqiu turned his attention to his foolish sister and then dragged her back to the cave dwelling where he lived with Ruan Chanchan.
"Sister, how many times have I told you to stay inside the cave? What if I didn't come on time and pulled you to one side? You would have turned into a pulp of flesh!" Ruan Zeqiu scolded Ruan Chanchan at once.
Ruan Chanchan, who was still reeling from the fact that she had transmigrated to another world once again, was struck dumbstruck. She looked at Ruan Zeqiu, who was scolding her to the point where she was sure her ears were about to bleed, and continued to nod.
She had no idea what was going on, so she might as well nod!
When Ruan Zeqiu saw that his sister was much more obedient and wasn't throwing a childish tantrum, he smiled at her and praised her, "You seem to have gotten smarter, sister. As long as you are obedient like today, I will bring sunpearl for you to eat."
"But for now, I need to join the hunting team. If I don't, then the two of us will likely starve tonight."
Ruan Chanchan nodded once again, and Ruan Zeqiu clapped his hands once again while praising her for being really smart.
Ruan Chanchan: "..." I have a feeling that this boy is treating me like a fool.
While Ruan Chanchan was lost in her thoughts, Ruan Zeqiu turned on his feet and headed out of the cave without giving Ruan Chanchan the chance to say anything.
Seeing that the boy had left her without saying anything, Ruan Chanchan was rather angry, but at the same time, she was relieved; after all, she needed some alone time to process what had happened. She was clearly about to open her supermarket and start a new life filled with comfort, so how did this happen?
Ruan Chanchan, however, did not panic. This was not the first time this had happened to her. In her first life, she was born as Mo Qiang, but because she was ignorant, she committed some sins and ended up dying.
After her death, Ruan Chanchan went through a number of reincarnations, all ending at the age of eighteen. It was only after she reincarnated in the era where she died and lived past twenty-four that she thought that she was done with her punishments.
She even got her hands on some money, and she opened a supermarket!
Ruan Chanchan was very happy as she thought that her life was finally coming in a straight line, but who would have expected that on the second day of the opening of the supermarket, the planet where she lived would be hit by a meteor?
And she ended up here. When she thought about how her supermarket, which was worth millions, ended up turning into nothing but rubble, Ruan Chanchan wanted to cry until the immortals in heaven knew that they had wronged her too much!
Yes, she was a bit arrogant and bullied her husbands, but she didn't kill anyone! Why was she suffering in such a way!? It was too much; she wanted a refund! She wanted to talk with the king of the underworld. How dare they give her such a losing bet!
Ruan Chanchan pursed her lips and sat down in a thinker pose on a small boulder that was sticking out of the ground. Her expression was solemn as she remarked with a smirk, "Heh, do you think I will cry after this? If you think like this, then —"
"You are absolutely right!"
Ruan Chanchan plopped on the floor and started beating the ground with her hands and feet.
"Give me back my supermarket!"
"Give me back my sweet, sweet money!"
"I worked hard on it!"
"Who says that the heavens are fair? I say that you are absolutely unfair! How can you do such a thing to me? Just because I was a bit criminal-minded, you are making me go through the same thing again and again!? It's already more than six times!"
The more she cried, the more upset she became; she was sure that this time it was a mistake. Because this time around, she was on her best behaviour!
"Argh!" In the middle of her tantrum, Ruan Chanchan felt her head sting with a familiar pain, and the memories of this woman came flooding into her head.
Turned out that she had transmigrated in the primitive world straight from the intergalactic times.
Such a demotion really made Ruan Chanchan speechless.
But what was even more annoying was that this body actually belonged to a fool! No wonder the brother of this body looked at and treated her as if she were a fool; it was because she really was a fool!
This world was more or less similar to the world where she lived, other for a small change. Mers were treated here with respect and admiration, for they were the perfect partners for women and men.
Unlike her world, where the mers were not given the ideal respect that they deserved.
And there was one more thing: here, the humans could shift into beasts, but this body that she was occupying could not.
Slowly, Ruan Chanchan stopped digesting the information that was running in her head and sat up straight. She closed her eyes and muttered, "Aish, could there be anything worse than this?"
[Ding.]
[This world is about to end.]
[Would you like to bind the Gratitude System to save this world?]
Ruan Chanchan: "..."
Oh, she spoke too soon.
