Chapter 5
Chapter 5 — After Rebirth, Khue Mat struggled to endure suffering, I just smiled
【Chapter 5】 The Snow Rabbit beastman who delivered the letter was brought before me. He looked very young and very nervous. When he saw the fierce and evil Dragon Clan soldiers around him, his legs became weak with fear. He trembled and took out a leaf from his chest and gave it to me.
"It's... it's Miss To Nhiem who told me to give it to you."
I received the leaf. On it were written some crooked words with vegetable juice.
"Tieu Tieu, how are you? I miss you so much."
“The Snow Rabbit Clan treats me very well, but I always feel insecure, I'm afraid the Dragon Clan will harm you.”
“If you see this letter, you must reply to let me know if you are okay.”
Every sentence and every word is filled with the worry and concern of "deep sisterly love". 【Act, continue acting.】 I can almost imagine To Nhiem's fake face when writing this letter. Why is she worried about me? She clearly wants to check on my situation. If I don't live well, she will gloat. If I live a good life, she will think of a million ways to cling to me and suck my blood. I clasped the leaf in my hand, raised my head and asked the Snow Rabbit beastman:
"To Nhiem... is she okay?"
The young beastman hesitated a bit, but still answered honestly:
"Miss To Nhiem... doesn't look very good. The food in our tribe... isn't much, it seems like she's not used to eating it."
“So what?”
I showed a bit of "worry".
“So it really made her feel resentful.”
【Not used to eating? Very soon you will know, there is something more difficult to eat.】 I turned around, picked up a new leaf on the table and a quill with ink. This is the simple pen and paper that I taught the Dragon Clan to make. How should we respond? Directly exposing her mask? No, that's too cheap for her. I want to make her jump back and forth between hope and despair. I thought for a moment and wrote on the leaf:
"Nam Nhiem, everything is fine with me, don't worry."
"Even though the Dragon tribe is powerful, they act rudely. Every day I live in anxiety. The food here is hard and difficult to eat. I really miss the roasted sweet potatoes we used to eat together before."
"Fortunately, the young master of the Dragon clan saw that I was pitiful and did not make things difficult for me. But I still miss you very much, and miss the peace and kindness of the Snow Rabbit clan."
After writing, I blew the leaf dry and gave it to the Snow Rabbit beastman.
"Please give this to To Nhiem. Tell her, tell her to live well in the Snow Rabbit Clan, don't worry about me."
The young beastman received the letter as if receiving amnesty and quickly ran away. Xich Nha stood next to her and looked without understanding anything.
"Lam Tieu, your other friend... seems to be tricking you."
I smiled and did not speak. 【Fool me? Very soon she will discover who is deceiving whom.] This letter will convey some news to To Nhiem: One, I am not living well in the Dragon Clan, I am just struggling. Two, I am still that naive, stupid, and heavy-hearted Lam Tieu. Dad, I admire her life in the Snow Rabbit Clan. This will make her relax her vigilance towards me, and at the same time look down even more on the poverty of the Snow Rabbit Clan, and crave the "wealth" of the Dragon Clan even more. She will feel that even a waste like me can barely survive in the Dragon Clan, so if I change to her, won't I live like a fish in water? Lust and lust of She will be infinitely magnified by this letter. But we just need to wait quietly. Waiting for her, she steps into the trap I have set for her. I don't know when Thuong Viem appeared at the door, taking in all of my actions just now. He didn't ask about the content of the letter, just looked at me deeply.
"That friend of yours is dishonest."
“I know.”
“Do you need me to deal with her?”
His voice was calm, as if he was saying "do I need to squeeze an ant to death?" I shook my head.
“No need.”
I raised my head, faced his eyes, and said word by word:
“Her end, I want to offer it myself.”
In Thuong Viem's golden pupils, a ray of appreciation flashed. He likes the feeling of holding everything. And so are we. 【Chapter 6】 When To Nhiem received my reply, she was gnawing on a dry and hard tree root. When she saw in the letter that she was "living in anxiety" and that "the food was hard and difficult to eat", she couldn't help but laugh out loud. 【Surely trash!】 【Without me by her side, she is nothing!】 In the letter, my admiration for the "peaceful and honest" of the Snow Rabbit Clan made her despise her even more.
"Peaceful? Honest? Can you eat it?"
She spat contemptuously. She crumpled the letter into a ball, the jealousy and greed in her eyes almost overflowing. That idiot Lam Tieu actually received "pity" from the young master of the Dragon clan. This proves that the young master of the Dragon clan is not as cruel as in legend. If it were me... if I used my beauty and intelligence to approach him, I could definitely make him look at me with different eyes! At that time, all the wealth and status of the Dragon Clan will be mine! Once this thought arises, it immediately grows like a weed. She began to plan how to leave the poor Snow Rabbit clan and go to the prosperous Long Thanh. But I live more and more comfortably in Long Thanh. Based on the notes on the animal skin scroll, combined with modern geographical knowledge, I drew an accurate mineral distribution map, helping the Dragon Clan find a new salt mine. Salt in this world is a strong currency that is more valuable than gold. This merit makes my status skyrocket once again. Thuong Viem directly divided half of his study room for me to use as an "office". The privileges I have even exceed those of the Dragon Clan elders.
