Glancing around at the tribesfolk, he said, "I rember Fu Yi was in charge of building houses, why are you here?"
"Well..." After Ge Xing rubbed his hands, he awkwardly responded, "I upset Aunt Naima these past few days, so I ca here to hide."
A hint of laughter passed through Xiu Yan’s eyes, "When I went to fetch water from the river earlier, I heard the orc females saying Aunt Naima is unwell. They’re talking about advising her to find another companion because you’re not taking good care of her."
What!
Instantly riled up, he retorted, "That’s impossible! Our relationship is excellent, and Naima would never consider finding another partner."
With a helpless look, Xiu Yan replied, "I have no idea, I heard it from the orc females washing beast skins by the river."
Nervously pacing around, he said: "No way, I have to go back and see."
With that, he dashed off back ho.
Watching as Uncle Ge Xing receded into the distance, Xiu Yan was reminded of his encounter with Aunt Naima from his journey here.
"Xiu Yan cub, have you returned? Is Ji Nuan cub back too?"
Xiu Yan nodded: "We returned this morning. Were you by the river?"
Naima sighed: "That old guy Ge Xing, even as a full-grown beast he wets the bed. I was going to confront him about it this morning, but he’s gone missing. By the way, where are you off to so soon without proper rest?"
"I’m heading over to check out the house construction site. Nuannuan will surely ask about it once she wakes up."
Naima nodded: "Alright then, we’ll stop here. Hurry on, and if you see your Uncle Ge Xing, tell him to co ho, or I’ll find myself a new mate."
Xiu Yan chuckled: "Alright."
"Xiu Yan! How co you’re here?" A clear orc voice interrupted Xiu Yan’s reminiscing. Looking forward, he saw Fu Yi coming towards him. The typically light-skinned orc had beco much darker.
"I ca to check on the house construction progress. Nuannuan will definitely ask about it once she’s awake."
Fu Yi tugged at Xiu Yan’s beast skin clothing, giving him a cryptic glance. "Co on, you haven’t eaten since returning, have you? Let’s grab sothing together."
Xiu Yan’s eyes slightly shifted, as he turned around to follow Fu Yi’s lead. "Hmm."
Watching the two orcs gradually walk away, the orc in the corner finally lifted his head. His face was expressionless, but his eyes were dark and intimidating.
"Stop watching and focus on your work," an elderly orc spoke from the side. The apprentice quickly turned away, nodding obediently. "Xiu Yan looks so powerful and handso, plus he’s an evolved orc. Damn impressive."
The elder orc chuckled: "Isn’t that right? The clan leader said Xiu Yan is incredibly powerful."
The young orc sidled up to the old one: "So, what level of orc is Xiu Yan?"
The elder orc gave him a strange look: "How would I know? Also, I’m warning you, Xiu Yan is Shaman Ji Nuan’s mate. Don’t get any ideas, understood?"
The young orc’s mouth twitched, giving the elder orc a weird look. "I prefer the young orc females, soft and sweet little things, not orcs."
The old orc gave him a look, sighing: "I hope so. Sexuality..."
