He had just chilled the fruits in the cold stream, so they were perfect to eat now. He couldn’t let these troubling matters delay such an important thing as his little companion eating fruit.
When he returned to the cabin, Ji Nuan was sleeping. There was an additional pen behind the house, presumably for the little female to raise so Giggle Beasts or so small wild animals again.
Throwing the Giggle Beast he was carrying into the pen, the fruits in the basket scraped against the roof, and only then did Xiu Yan pick up the branch to continue the project the little female hadn’t finished yet.
After Ji Nuan woke up from a wonderful nap, she slled an incredibly enticing fruity aroma.
She looked around the cabin and indeed saw the basket scraping against the roof.
Happily, she ran over to pick up the basket, and the fruits inside were not too warm, with a slight coolness to the touch.
Upon seeing the water droplets on the fruits, Ji Nuan knew that Xiu Yan had soaked these fruits in the stream.
In the afternoon, there were sounds accompanied by familiar calls, giving her a feeling of being back in the tribe.
She ran to the back of the house and indeed saw several plump Giggle Beasts lying there, bound at their wings and feet, futilely stretching their necks and calling out weakly.
Ji Nuan smiled at the poor Giggle Beasts: "Poor little things, tonight you’ll be my dinner."
"Awake now." The orc’s cool voice sounded from behind her. Ji Nuan turned back to see Xiu Yan, sweating profusely, coming out of another pen.
"Thank you for your hard work~" Looking at the pen that was much more sophisticated than the one she had built, Ji Nuan eagerly went over to wipe the sweat off the orc’s forehead.
"I’ve eaten all the fruits in the basket; they were cool and refreshing." Ji Nuan shook the fruit cores in her hand, then tossed them into the pen with the Giggle Beasts.
Xiu Yan chuckled softly: "I chilled them in the forest stream. If you had eaten them right when you ca back, they would’ve been even better, but a certain soone fell asleep."
Ji Nuan scratched her head sheepishly; during the heat season, if she didn’t nap at noon, she’d feel lethargic the entire day.
"I heard sothing interesting on the way back." Xiu Yan walked to the basin to wash, his deep eyes looking at Ji Nuan.
Ji Nuan’s eyes lit up instantly: "What was it?"
Xiu Yan recounted the story he heard in the forest to Ji Nuan. Ji Nuan nodded: "There are always such beasts anywhere. They enjoy the thrill of standing at the pinnacle of power and like the feeling of all the orcs in the tribe holding them in high regard, but that’s not wrong either."
Xiu Yan sneered coldly: "King of the hill? Have they forgotten about the shamans?"
Ji Nuan glanced at him: "The shaman of that tribe usually only handles the tribe’s affairs if it’s sothing major, otherwise they don’t get involved, okay?"
Xiu Yan was taken aback, thinking of Chief Ge Xing’s weary appearance each day, then thinking of his little female sleeping until the sun was high in the sky.
Indeed, it’s the comparison that makes it hurt.
"Shaman Ji Nuan!" Harry’s voice suddenly ca from the front. Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan exchanged a glance: "What happened, shouting so loudly."
Xiu Yan grabbed a cotton cloth shirt and put it on, quickly stepping out with Ji Nuan.
Just coming from the afternoon, they saw Shaman Harry squatting there covered in blood, with a small and weak-looking orc lying in front of him.
