Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 2771 - 2772: She Has Figured It Out

"Yes, if it were me, I wouldn’t have acted like you from the start," Bai Ruozhu said seriously.

The ancestor of the Merfolk suddenly flew into a rage, roaring, "What do you know, get out! Get out!"

Bai Ruozhu screamed, her body was suddenly ejected and she crashed into the blue crystal next to her, the pain almost making it impossible to breathe.

"Ruozhu, are you okay?" Ning Yu rushed over to support her, and Bai Ruozhu quickly pulled Ning Yu back.

"Stay back, I angered her."

The two retreated to the entrance, Bai Ruozhu spat out a mouthful of blood; just one shout from the ancestor of the Merfolk had caused internal injuries, it was terrifying.

She took a deep breath, "Once she calms down, I’ll talk to her again. She must have a way out."

"No, you’re already injured internally, what if she attacks again?" Ning Yu opposed.

"I’ll be more careful, I won’t be reckless like before," Bai Ruozhu said.

She sat cross-legged, began to regulate her meridians, and spat out another mouthful of clotted blood, then took some medicine until she looked a bit better.

After a while, the merfolk song stopped.

"She sings when she’s particularly sad. Now that she’s finished singing, she should be in a good mood," Bai Ruozhu said.

She stood up, "You stay back."

She approached the giant shell again, unsure of where it came from. Not only was it extraordinarily large, but it also emitted a beautiful glow, a milky white with a faint pink tint.

Only now, the shell was closed, and the female merfolk was inside, perhaps sleeping.

Bai Ruozhu dared not disturb her, could only inspect the surroundings, but found nothing. This place was still filled with blue crystals, not even a single piece of seaweed grew.

"Aren’t you sleepy? Do you want to sleep for a while?" The voice of the ancestor of the Merfolk entered her mind.

"No, I just want to go home," she replied.

"Sleep, everything will be fine after a nap," the merfolk’s voice continued self-assuredly, yet for some reason, Bai Ruozhu’s eyelids grew heavy, and she slowly fell asleep.

In the dream, she became the ancestor of the Merfolk, feeling her joys and sorrows, yet she did something different than her, and the ancestor’s life underwent significant changes.

Elsewhere, a phantom floated out from the shell, gradually entering her body, and soon she stood up, eyes opening, filled with melancholic colors, slowly walking out.

"Ruozhu, how are things?" Fo Lanying rushed forward, grabbing her hand to ask.

She shook her head, "She’s not listening to me."

"Don’t rush, think of another way," the astrologer suggested.

"It’s all my fault. I angered her; otherwise, she might have already taken us out," she said.

Tang Feng suddenly grabbed her arm, "Who are you? You’re not Bai Ruozhu!"

"Bai Ruozhu’s" eyes flickered, "How did you know?"

"She wouldn’t talk like this; she wouldn’t wallow in self-pity. She always finds a way to solve problems. You can ask anyone, they know she’s trustworthy, our best friend," Tang Feng finished in one breath.

"Indeed, she’s not like you; she rarely shows such an expression," Fo Lanying said.

"Bai Ruozhu" tilted her head, looking at Tang Feng, "Are you her lover?"

Tang Feng was a bit embarrassed, "No, I’m her good friend."

"Then how do you know her so well?" the ancestor of the Merfolk asked, unconvinced.

"Ask anyone else, they also know Ruozhu," Tang Feng replied.

The ancestor of the Merfolk fell silent, "Am I that obvious? Why am I so useless?"

"You see, Ruozhu wouldn’t say she’s useless. She also has shortcomings, but she wouldn’t rush to deny herself. She strives to learn, to improve, to solve unsolvable problems, unlike you, constantly blaming yourself," Ning Yu said.

The ancestor of the Merfolk let out a sigh, appearing even more dejected.

Step by step, she turned back, "I can’t even fool you all; I should just return to my shell."

"What have you done to Ruozhu? Give her back to us!" Fo Lanying shouted.

The ancestor of the Merfolk, wearing Bai Ruozhu’s face, smiled tearfully, which looked peculiar to the onlookers.

"Don’t worry, she’s fine."

She slowly walked back, the phantom drifted out of Bai Ruozhu’s body, returning to the shell.

In the dreamland, Bai Ruozhu punched Xuan Gui, scolding him for not learning well and playing dark revenge, resulting in Xuan Gui wailing and even confessing, saying he always liked her, which caused his mad revenge, and he wanted to be with her forever.

Bai Ruozhu immediately responded dominantly, "Let me make it clear, I gave birth to a child due to someone’s scheming, if it bothers you, forget it. If you don’t mind, I can consider being with you, but once you agree, never use this matter against me, or we’re through!"

Xuan Gui was furious, "Who schemed against you? I’ll destroy him!"

"Forget it, let him raise the child. After all, it’s my flesh and blood. What if you kill the child’s father?" Bai Ruozhu said.

"Bring him over, we’ll raise him like he’s my own; I swear," Xuan Gui said earnestly.

"Alright, let’s get him now," Bai Ruozhu said, and without delay, she took Xuan Gui to Fusang, wreaked havoc, and took her eldest son away.

The ancestor of the Merfolk watched, dumbfounded. Was her guilt toward Xuan Gui and her eldest son resolved as such, and did they then live happily ever after as a family?

She was envious, expelled Bai Ruozhu from the dreamland, and entered herself, enjoying the fleeting, illusory happiness in the dream.

Bai Ruozhu climbed up from the ground, rubbed her head, and mumbled, "Living a life for someone else is actually so exhausting; those who play quick transmigration to complete missions have it tough too."

She seemed to feel the joy emanating from the shell; if the ancestor of the Merfolk could thus unlock her heart’s knot, maybe the situation could be resolved.

After waiting for less than a quarter of an hour, the giant shell opened, and the female merfolk ancestor sat up from inside.

"Thank you," she said sincerely, "I’ve always blamed fate for being unfair, always blamed the owner for being heartless, and Xuan Gui for being ruthless, yet I never considered my own faults. Character determines destiny, I understand now."

"The past cannot be changed, but you’re still alive, you can find ways to make amends, things will surely get better," Bai Ruozhu said.

The ancestor of the Merfolk stood up from the shell, possibly because her fishtail was particularly long, she appeared very tall.

Looking at her fishtail, she waved her hand, transforming it into legs, with a blue gauze skirt draped over them.

"I will go out to find him, perhaps it will take one or two years, or maybe a few hundred, but it’s better than just dreaming here," she smiled at Bai Ruozhu, "I’ll take you out."

Bai Ruozhu rejoiced, they could finally leave!

"Will going out affect the Merfolk?" She grew concerned for Achun and Ling Chen.

"Don’t worry, it’s just the effect of the array here; once outside, it won’t occur," she smiled, like a blooming water lily.
