Guide To Train My Beast Husbands-Chapter 269: Can You Teach Me Please?

Ruan Chanchan: "..."

She was sure that she had misheard something. What did this woman mean by saying that the two of them could be best of friends? Was there anything left between the two of them that could be considered for them to become best of friends? Was she trying to pull her leg or something?

’Darling, she thinks that you are easy to fool,’ chimed Xiao Xi from the side. His host was smart, but he was smarter. He needed to pay attention to her safety, or else she would be fooled by this scheming woman.

Of course, Ruan Chanchan sensed it. Maybe Shao Xia was way too confident in her own charm and thought that all she needed was to smile and apologise, and that alone would be enough to make anyone forgive her. She tried to suppress her irritation at being obstructed and said to Shao Xia, "Maybe you think that an apology is enough to make someone forgive you for trying to kill them." She hadn’t even forgiven the heavens for putting her through so many trials and tribulations, yet Shao Xia thought that she could just wash her hands of the crimes that she had committed just like that?

No way. Her face was not so big that Ruan Chanchan would forgive her before she forgave the heavens.

Anyway, Ruan Chanchan was still furious over what the woman did to Yuan Ni and, more importantly, her. There was no way she was going to give up on this grudge so soon.

"Okay, I know that the misunderstanding between the two of us is too deep for you to forgive me so easily. Anyway, even if I try to explain some things to you at the moment, you might not be able to understand what I am trying to tell you. I never expected you to forgive me this soon anyway."

And yet you shamelessly came to look for me, thought Ruan Chanchan with an eyeroll.

She pursed her lips and waited for Shao Xia to continue. Ruan Chanchan just had this feeling that this woman wanted something from her and would not be able to hide her fox tail for long. Sure enough, a second later, she heard the woman say, "Ruan Chanchan, you see, you have done a lot for this tribe, and I am thankful for that. But I was wondering if you could tell me how you find out which mushrooms are edible and which ones are not? That way, I will be able to help the tribe as well."

Ruan Chanchan narrowed her eyes. She seemed to have understood what the woman wanted from her.

With a sly smile on her lips, Ruan Chanchan replied, "Just this? It’s really simple!"

When Shao Xia heard her response, her eyes brightened up.

Looks like this woman is really just as foolish as she was before—she is willing to tell me her secret so easily. Shao Xia was very confident when it came to her manipulative skills. She thought that the woman was just as foolish as she was when she was young because if she wasn’t, then why would she be willing to share such important information with her?

"Is it really that simple?" Shao Xia asked with her eyes alight with happiness. It was as if she was not looking at Ruan Chanchan but at some kind of treasure chest that was going to help her strike gold.

"Yup. It’s really that simple," Ruan Chanchan nodded. She then pointed at the mushrooms and said to Shao Xia, "You just need to take the risk of eating the poisonous mushrooms. As long as you are still alive after eating them, the mushrooms are edible. It’s the same for the fruits and nuts."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shao Xia’s expression turned sombre. She almost kicked Ruan Chanchan when she heard her response. What did she mean by those words?

"Try to eat them first? Ruan Chanchan, are you trying to kill me? How can I stay alive if I eat a poisonous mushroom? I am genuinely trying to learn something from you. All I wanted was to help the tribe by learning your skills. Why did you have to say such rude words?" Shao Xia frowned. She felt like she had been cheated because she had clearly asked Ruan Chanchan to tell her how to detect the edible vegetables and fruits, and in exchange, the woman was telling her that she should go ahead and eat the unverified mushrooms and vegetables to find which one was edible and which was not.

Was this the kind of thing that she should be telling her?

Ruan Chanchan simply smiled when she heard the blame in Shao Xia’s tone. She blinked her eyes and simply said, "That’s how I verified these mushrooms. It’s just my luck that I am blessed by the beast goddess that none of the mushrooms that I have eaten till now turned out to be poisonous."

Ruan Chanchan didn’t know why this woman suddenly became interested in her skills, but Ruan Chanchan was wise enough to know that this woman had nothing good in her mind. She pursed her lips and eyed the person in front of her carefully.

Xiao Xi, what do you think? Why is this woman suddenly interested in getting to know about my mushroom-hunting skills?

Darling, I heard a flying rumour —it seems like this woman is trying to jump tribes. Maybe that is the reason why she is trying to learn your skills. She must be hoping to get some information out of you to jump ship!

Humph. Did this woman think that he was a fool? His eyes were all over the tribe, and he knew very well what was going on in the tribe. There was no way he was going to let this woman take advantage of him being blindsided ever again!

With his eyes narrowed at the woman in front of him, Xiao Xi looked at the woman in disdain.
