Ruan Zeqiu was speechless; he knew that there was a screw or two loose within his sister's head, but he never thought that she would be daring enough to negotiate with the guardian of the river. He raised his head and shouted, "Sister, this is not the time for you to start negotiating."
To his surprise, Ruan Chanchan turned and looked at him with a hint of anger. "It is always time for negotiations."
Yuan Ni then turned to look at the river guardian with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He raised his head and said to Ruan Zeqiu, "...Wait, it seems like the river guardian is willing to listen to her."
Ruan Zeqiu turned to look at Yuan Ni with an incredulous expression on his face. "What do you mean? The river guardian is really listening to her."
Ruan Zeqiu turned to look at the mer. He blinked his eyes and said, "You are joking."
Yuan Ni shook his head. "I am not joking. He is truly listening to her… I have no idea how she is doing it and why he is even listening to her."
