She took a moment to consider things. If normally Zhi had her come talk to Qian Jia, but after she went, Qian Jia turned out to have no intentions of giving her any salt, then she’d probably hold a grudge against Zhi.
Ning Shu felt that this was seriously meaningless, so she said mildly, “Since there isn’t any more, then forget it. I’m leaving.”
Ning Shu turned to leave without hesitation while thinking that she probably won’t come here again for salt. It seemed like she was going to have to go to the salt mine to steal salt.
She didn’t really have a sense of belonging in this tribe. It felt like the current Winged Tigers Tribe had completely become Qian Jia’s territory.
When Qian Jia saw that Ning Shu had turned to leave without any hesitation, she felt offended. This female beastman was seriously infuriating! She called out to stop Ning Shu, “Cao, wait.”
Ning Shu turned around to look at her. When Qian Jia saw the other party’s cold uninterested glance, she lost her trail of thought for a moment.
“Um, we’re going to head out to look for things tomorrow, but we’re already full on people this time. I’ll take you next time,” said Qian Jia. As of now, all the females in the tribe liked heading out with her and they would compete intensely for the spots.
Ning Shu snorted. She stopped bothering to be polite. “Jia, don’t you think you’re being disgusting? Since you don’t want to take me, I won’t go, so what are you saying this to me for? You want me to beg you to take me?”
Qian Jia looked at Ning Shu in dumbstruck astonishment. It was clear that she hadn’t expected for Cao to say things so bluntly and she stammered, “I… I didn’t. That’s not what I was thinking.”
“Then what were you thinking?” asked Ning Shu mildly. “You think you’re all that just because you’re the divine maiden sent by the Divinity? That everyone should worship you? If you want to give me salt, then do so. If you don’t want to, then just forget it. But you insist on being extra because you want me to kneel down and beg you, isn’t that so?”
“I wasn’t.” Qian Jia was so angry her entire body was trembling. She had never hated someone so much since coming to this world.
It felt like her heart had been cut open and the secret thoughts she was hiding was being shown to everyone. She was startled and extremely embarrassed.
Qian Jia was now very happy that she had come to this world even though this world didn’t have airplanes, cars, computers, phones, or any technology.
She was happy because she was the most unique person in this world. There didn’t need to exist anyone that was as good-looking as her in the world. Here, she felt needed, was cherished, and valued.
She was no longer that ordinary girl. Here, anything she did would gain countless praises.
These praises were extremely pleasant to hear, which was why she was very unhappy with Cao’s attitude.
She had changed the entire tribe, but this female beastman still didn’t respect her.
“Cao, I really don’t know how I offended you. I know that you’ve never liked me, so tell me, how exactly have I made you uncomfortable?” Qian Jia was so angry that she was about to cry. She had never been so angry since coming to this world.
However, Ning Shu just directed the questions back. “And how have I offended you to have you keep trying to pick faults with me? Zhi’s just a simple female, but you’re trying to ruin our relationship. Is it really alright for the pure divine maiden to do this? The Divinity won’t punish you for doing such things?”
“What… When have I ever tried to ruin your relationship with Zhi? You shouldn’t falsely accuse others!” Qian Jia’s voice became shrill. “What does whether or not I’m the divine maiden have to do with you?”
Qian Jia knew well that she wasn’t some divine maiden, but an ordinary person that had transmigrated here from another world. She was also baffled by the fact that she had somehow ended up with the crown of divine maiden, but there was no way she would allow someone to humiliate her this way.
Ning Shu and Qian Jia’s arguing was very loud, so Rui came out from inside the cave. Several beastmen had been attracted by the sound as well.
“What’s going on?” Rui saw that his little female was furious. He had never seen Jia before. Tears were whirling in her eyes and wet her long eyelashes. The sight made his heart ache.
Qian Jia pressed her lips together and shook her head without speaking.
Everyone looked towards Ning Shu with condemnation in their eyes. Kai pulled at Ning Shu and said, “Stop causing trouble. Jia only joined the tribe recently, you shouldn’t be arguing with her.”
Ning Shu slapped aside Kai’s hand and frowned coldly. “What are you pulling me for?”
