Chapter 5: Saving the Fallen Little Prince of a Foreign Country
When Sheng Ran arrived home alone, she just happened to smell the aroma of meat coming from the house.
I didn't expect to make it in time for dinner.
As soon as I entered the yard, I heard Pei Xiaoxing walking quickly towards me.
"My wife is finally back. Is everything okay?"
Sheng Ran shook her head.
"The scent of a raven...was he the one who escorted him just now?"
Sheng Ran shook her head, then nodded.
To be precise, it was the raven that called a group of birds to "airlift" her back.
Unlike civilized orcs, they are just ordinary birds and beasts, but they listen to the ravens very much.
The little birds grabbed her clothes, flapped their wings together, and lifted her up with all their strength, finally taking great effort to send her home.
It seems that ravens are not very popular with people, but they are popular with other birds.
He was able to call upon so many helpers.
If these birds and beasts could speak, Sheng Ran really wanted to hear what the raven they were talking about looked like.
As of now, he is definitely the most difficult beast husband to conquer.
Raven was very resistant to getting along with her and was even unwilling to come back with her.
Yes, it is really difficult for him to swallow his anger until now when facing an enemy who broke his wings with his own hands.
"My wife, please eat something first."
Pei Xiaoxing brought her back to her senses.
This continent is still in ancient times, but it has already formed a certain civilization.
Especially those who have lived in the central imperial city since childhood, have no habit of eating raw food and will use fire to simply process ingredients.
Grilling is the only cooking method currently available.
Pei Xiaoxing placed a plate of barbecue in front of Sheng Ran, and also served a separate portion to Ling Rui.
Sheng Ran suddenly stepped forward and held his hand.
Pei Xiaoxing paused, then quickly understood what she meant. "Ling Rui's words were inappropriate and offended my wife. He deserves to be punished."
"I won't send him anything these two days."
Sheng Ran's dark pupils gradually enlarged, and she was so anxious that she wanted to slam the table.
【Where did I say I would punish Ling Rui! 】
She only hated herself for not being able to speak, as Pei Xiaoxing could misinterpret her words like this in just a moment.
She wouldn't lose a piece of flesh if she was scolded a few times, but Ling Rui, who was beaten by the original owner so badly that his tendons were pulled out, was the one who was really miserable.
Could it be that in Pei Xiaoxing's mind, she is so narrow-minded?
"My wife used to do that, so I thought..." Seeing her dissatisfaction, Pei Xiaoxing softened his tone and said slowly, "I misunderstood. My wife, please don't be angry."
Did she hear it wrong? Pei Xiaoxing was laughing?
He is such a serious person, how come his apology is not sincere at all!
Sheng Ran snorted softly, too lazy to explain to him, and walked towards Ling Rui's room while feeling the wall.
As soon as I got closer, I heard Ling Rui's vigilant voice.
"What are you going to do to me again!"
The iron chains rattled as he shook them, as if he was ready for battle.
It's really funny. What can she, a blind, mute, and unpowered female, do to him?
Sheng Ran took something out of her bag, wiped off the dirt and dust on her clothes, and handed it to Ling Rui.
The chain key appeared intact in her palm.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and you could hear a pin drop.
The two male beasts present seemed to be unconvinced that she had actually retrieved the key from under the cliff.
And without any conditions, he just kindly presented it to him.
Ling Rui instinctively became suspicious and didn't appreciate it. "What do you mean?"
The corners of Sheng Ran's smiling lips gradually straightened.
[It's really hard to communicate between these two people. It's just bullying the dumb! ]
She casually handed it to Pei Xiaoxing and turned back to sit at the dining table.
Only the wolf and the lion were left looking at each other.
Realizing that he had been being sentimental, Ling Rui felt extremely embarrassed. "Is she really going to let me go?"
He was chained in many places, and Pei Xiaoxing took a long time to untie them one by one, but he did not respond.
Only Sheng Ran's inner voice emerged one after another in the quiet room.
[Is Ling Rui mentally ill...?]
[Or is it simply paranoia? ]
[Headache, how can a mute and a fool communicate? ]
Ling Rui: ...
Ling Rui's face turned red, but he didn't say a word.
Pei Xiaoxing remained calm and asked for details, "Did my wife really go down the cliff today?"
Sheng Ran nodded, not intending to tell him everything that had happened.
Pei Xiaoxing had to suppress all the questions in his heart, only to find that there were many wounds on the back of her hand.
It was covered by the sleeve just now, so it was covered tightly that it was not discovered at first.
His brows furrowed, and his voice softened involuntarily, "I'll apply medicine for you after dinner."
The tone was gentle, but it was not a negotiation and did not allow anyone to refuse.
Sheng Ran hesitated.
After two days of traveling through time, only his blackening value has been steadily decreasing. She can actually feel that Pei Xiaoxing's attitude has changed.
But she didn't dare to agree easily.
No matter how small the value is, hatred is the dominant emotional tone.
To be on the safe side, she tried to avoid being alone with the beastly husbands, so as not to accidentally step on someone's sensitive spot and die.
"I'll go," Ling Rui suddenly stood up and explained awkwardly, "...After all, it's for me. I'll go find the medicine now."
Sheng Ran nodded quickly, gently arching her brows, but thinking in her heart.
[This isn't for you, it's for my life.]
Ling Rui's forehead twitched and he suddenly felt guilty.
Indeed, if he went berserk, his remaining obsession would make him the first to tear her apart.
At least we died together, so it's not a loss.
But how did she know?
This evil woman used to do all kinds of evil things, but now she is afraid of them. It's really strange.
With confused thoughts in his mind, he rummaged through the drawers and boxes.
There aren't many things at home, so finding something shouldn't be difficult.
But there was no ointment to be found, but there was a pile of scrap metal.
This noise was disturbing. Sheng Ran pulled Pei Xiaoxing's hand and wrote:
[Is our family very poor?]
"After exile, life became much tighter. It wasn't that difficult, but..."
Pei Xiaoxing only said this much, his eyes deep as he looked straight at her, "Doesn't my wife know this herself?"
Ling Rui had been imprisoned for nearly a month and had no idea that his family had become in such a state. They were so poor that they couldn't even find ointment.
His last bit of patience was worn out, and he forgot that he had originally wanted to apply medicine to her to make amends. He let go of the job and stopped doing it.
He snorted coldly and continued, "You said that your food, clothing, and daily expenses must be based on the standards of your original life in Central City. Most of the money in the family will be used to buy the things you need."
"Then you fell in love with the clan leader's daughter's duck husband and lavished him with all sorts of expensive gifts, even selling Huaijun to Zuixianlou. If you calculate the time now, he might have become the top prostitute there."
"He's a prince of the Deep Sea Kingdom after all. This is the first time in so many years that he's been married to us, yet he's been treated like this. Tsk."
Sheng Ran gradually lowered her head, feeling very uncomfortable.
The original owner's evil deeds are simply too numerous to list. Even if she has the ability to repair the sky, she can't solve them one by one, right?
Pei Xiaoxing tried to smooth things over slowly, "Let's eat first. I'll go borrow some ointment from the people around here tomorrow."
Sheng Ran was in a heavy mood, holding her chin with a gloomy look.
It is urgent to save the fallen little prince of a foreign country.
[Looks like I have to find a way to make money. I don't know when I can redeem Huaijun.]
These words made the two beastly husbands pause.
Ling Rui didn't even pretend, and suddenly a very obvious sneer came out of his throat.
She wants to make money? Thank goodness she doesn't give it away!
