Chapter 20: Ravens Are Always There
Ling Rui even thought that it was his fault that Sheng Ran earned less money today.
He should be held responsible.
She was not favored in the Sheng family and was a registered criminal in Central City. Once the engagement was dissolved, she would have no one to rely on.
He also ruined his last plan to make a living...
An idea took root.
Then he might as well stay with her.
Ling Rui mustered up the courage to speak: "Wife, I suddenly feel that -"
The voice stopped abruptly, and his palm was smoothed by Sheng Ran.
Sheng Ran thought about it for a long time and finally understood which day he was talking about.
[What the hell? That time we weren't trying to make money, we were trying to collect debts.]
After she got the treasure back from Zhou Baiya, she kept it all and never took it out again.
Ling Rui didn't know about this, no wonder there was a misunderstanding.
Sheng Ran was at a loss for words, unable to explain herself, so she simply took his hand and walked home.
He was taken into a room where boxes of good stuff were piled up as if they were free of charge.
"Isn't this something we moved all the way from Central City, and you gave it to Zhou Baiya?"
"When Pei Xiaoxing said making money, did he mean that my wife would take all of this back?"
Ling Rui didn't care about being interrupted at this moment and couldn't help asking: "How did you do it?"
Sheng Ran simply said: "It originally belonged to us, so we should return it to its original owner."
Ling Rui still found it unbelievable: "Could it be that my wife no longer likes that duck?"
Sheng Ran nodded heavily, her attitude clear.
I don’t know what the original owner’s perspective was, which forced her to clarify countless times that she had no good feelings towards Zhou Baiya at all!
Ling Rui was very happy. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that it had been a long time since he saw her go to the river to look for the duck beast.
I also heard that he had been expelled from the tribe, which was probably related to this incident.
It was such a great show, it’s a pity that Ling Rui didn’t see it.
Sheng Ran continued to explain: "Today is my first time doing business. Thanks to your help, we have become very successful."
Ling Rui did a good job, and she didn't want him to blame himself for this.
[If you feel regretful, wait for the weather to clear up and accompany me to the city. I plan to sell it again in the town.]
Thousands of miles away from the tribe is Beining City, the most prosperous metropolis north of the central city.
Sheng Ran didn't believe that if the business couldn't be done in Zhangwei, it couldn't be done in the city.
Ling Rui had no problem with that, he never shirked his duties.
"But we are exiled with our crimes, and our movements are restricted. Without special circumstances, we can't leave the end of the chapter."
Sheng Ran frowned for a moment, then quickly relaxed.
She hadn't really considered that, but there was always a way around it.
[Not only do I want to do business, I also want to go to Beining to redeem Huaijun and take Tushanyi back. The reasons are legitimate, and I will find a way to apply to the clan leader.]
The original owner could go there to live a life of debauchery, and Sheng Ran went there to do serious work, so I don’t believe she can’t do it.
Ling Rui was shocked by this plan. "You want to bring them back?"
Sheng Ran nodded as a matter of course. She hadn't made enough money yet, but she could pawn the treasures in this room.
The progress of conquering these two beastly husbands cannot be delayed any longer, she wishes the weather would be clear by the end of the chapter tomorrow.
"Don't you treasure these assets you brought from Central City the most?" Ling Rui muttered, weighing his tone. "Why would you be willing to sell them off for Huai Jun and Tu Shanyi?"
Her expression remained unchanged, and it was obvious that she was not joking.
Even so, Ling Rui still felt that his wife was too naive.
Zuixianlou has always been unscrupulous, buying low and selling high, so it is not that easy to redeem it.
The clinic where Tu Shanyi worked was notoriously expensive. Sheng Ran abandoned him there because she couldn't afford the medical expenses.
If you add up the two bills, either one would be a astronomical price.
Has Sheng Ran thought about all these?
Ling Rui actually wanted to ask, since she still wanted them, why did she resolutely drive these two beastly husbands out of the house.
But he said nothing in the end.
This is how the continent is. Males are nothing more than playthings in the hands of females. There are no human rights.
Although my wife has changed a lot, she still probably treats them as toys for temporary interest.
He just has to follow orders and do his job. He can't control anything else.
After Ling Rui went back to his room to rest, Sheng Ran stayed in the yard.
She really can't sit still.
She had made a lot of fried food these days, and just tasting them made her feel a little irritated.
She plans to make some heat-clearing health tea. If it works well, she can sell it together with fried food.
The moonlight is clear and bright, and dew is condensed on the grass leaves.
Their yard was untended, with wild flowers and weeds growing wildly, and it looked very messy at first glance.
She didn't understand pharmacology and couldn't tell what these flowers and herbs were and what their effects were.
She originally wanted the system to help her find some information about Chinese medicinal materials so that she could learn about them now.
But she smelled a fragrance, and Sheng Ran unconsciously moved closer and picked a few plants with curled and slender petals.
She could detect the specific scent of each flower and plant.
Just as she dared to use those wild herbs to stop bleeding and heal wounds, she was certain that the flowers in her hands could be used to reduce internal heat.
This was an ability she suddenly acquired after coming to the beast world.
Sheng Ran thought of the vines that had helped her block the hidden weapon. "Have I really not awakened any special abilities? Like grass or wood type?"
The system said regretfully: [I've had my suspicions for a long time, but this is the beast world. You don't even have a decent beast form, how can you awaken your superpowers?]
Most of the beastmen's abilities are related to their beast form.
The plant-based abilities she mentioned certainly exist, but they are mostly possessed by herbivores and only have combat skills.
There is no special ability that can be used to heal injuries.
Sheng Ran's current abilities are definitely special.
[Host, calm down. I have a feeling the special energy in your body will continue to grow. Let's not rush to expose it!]
Of course Sheng Ran understood this principle.
After the dissolution of the engagement, she found a peaceful and livable place to live. These were her ways to protect herself.
She had to hide well and not be targeted by her former enemies.
Following the scent she felt, Sheng Ran picked a few plants and planned to soak them for a few days to test their effects.
It was getting late and the dew was heavy. Halfway through her work, Sheng Ran suddenly looked up at the night sky.
The clouds are moving, and a full moon is half hidden and half visible.
The howling of wolves came from the woods outside the tribe, but it was too far away to be heard clearly.
I don’t know how Pei Xiaoxing is doing now.
These days, when I think of him, I always have a bad feeling.
Sheng Ran comforted herself in her heart that she had the ability to heal and would never let Pei Xiaoxing get into trouble.
Thinking of this, she picked a lot of herbs for stopping bleeding and healing wounds, half of which she kept at home and the other half she made into ointments to sell in Beining City.
Sheng Ran worked until late at night before she stopped.
Before entering the house, she paid special attention to the bowl at the gate, which was still there, just as it was in the morning.
She would leave a portion of all the food she cooked for the raven.
He had clearly eaten it once, but he never appreciated it again.
Sheng Ran had long wanted to ask where he lived and what he ate. After all, he had a wife, so he couldn't live the same life as those wild birds.
Besides, I don’t see him often, so how can I make friends with him?
After enduring for so many days, Sheng Ran finally couldn't bear it anymore and anxiously asked the system: [Can you find the location of Raven? ]
The system gave an unexpected answer.
He is right beside you.
【Always there.】
