A simple sentence instantly brought tears to the eyes of She Wu, the wandering orc, who nodded heavily, his eyes red and full of tears.
Ji Nuan waved his hand, "You should go back. You have a house in the back of Ya Li, don’t you? Give it to She Wu."
Then, she winked and whispered, "That’s what Clan Leader just said, you know!"
After saying that, she waved her hand and walked towards her own house.
Ya Li, Ya Gu, and She Wu exchanged glances. There was a joy in their eyes that they couldn’t hide. In the Watson Tribe, having your own house ant that you were truly a part of the tribe.
"Let’s go, we two brothers will take a day off today and clean up the house for our younger brother."
The three orcs walked arm in arm towards their new ho nearby.
...
"Nuannuan, where have you been?" An orc’s cold and magnetic voice echoed in the courtyard. Ji Nuan looked up and saw Brother Xiu Yan, the aloof orc, casually sitting on the steps with a large basket in his hand.
She smiled and walked up to him, explaining what had happened with the three brothers of Ya Li.
Xiu Yan nodded, showing no interest, and then handed her the basket in his hand, "These are the poisonous plants and fruits you asked to find."
Ji Nuan reached out excitedly to take it, but Xiu Yan moved it away, furrowing his brows, "So of the plants here are very poisonous, don’t touch them."
Ji Nuan anxiously retorted, "I need them for research, how can I not touch them!"
"Wait." He said, and pulled out a pitch-black object from his chest, handing it to her.
Ji Nuan took it dumbfounded, "What is this?"
Xiu Yan’s gaze waivered slightly as he replied, "Snake shed."
Ji Nuan unfurled the object in her hands to find that it was indeed a snake shed, seeing its patterns, "Why are you giving this?"
Xiu Yan coughed twice, "This is the Black Rock Python’s first shed. It can block the toxicity of these poisonous plants."
"Black Rock Python?" Ji Nuan looked at the sowhat evasive Xiu Yan questioningly, "Isn’t that the sa race as the brothers from Ya Li?"
Xiu Yan nodded casually, "Yeah."
Ji Nuan’s eyes twitched, "Did you bully the brothers from Ya Li again?"
Xiu Yan retorted shalessly, "I didn’t bully them."
Ji Nuan rolled her eyes, "I don’t believe you."She then took the handful of snake shed and headed out.
Xiu Yan quickly caught up, "Where are you going?"
Ji Nuan tugged at his long hair, "Of course, to return this snake shed. A shed that can resist poison must be very important."
Xiu Yan grabbed Ji Nuan’s hand, "Don’t go, I kept sothing more precious than this to exchange with them. They won’t accept it if you go now."
Ji Nuan squinted at him, "What is it? More precious than this?"
Xiu Yan humd a little haughtily, "Sothing very, very important to the orcs."
Ji Nuan smiled, fully believing Xiu Yan’s words. While Xiu Yan could occasionally be a prankster, he would never cheat his tribe mbers.
"Alright, I believe you." She said, tugging at Xiu Yan’s arm and heading for the house, "Co on, let’s turn this snake shed into gloves first."
On the other side, after experiencing the great sadness of losing their snake shed, the three brothers of Ya Li received an even bigger surprise.
