"Ji Nuan, what are you cooking in this pot? Why does it smell so good?"
Ge Xing was drawn by the aroma, his eyes lighting up as he gazed at the ceramic pot emitting an enticing bouquet, salivation almost overflowing from his eyes.
Xiu Yan, noticing the growing crowd of orcs around, felt a sudden sense of crisis. Oh no, they are all here to freeload!
He quietly retreated into the tent. After a short while, the curtain of the tent was pushed aside, and a plump Silver Wolf cub ventured out.
With its short legs, it walked over to Ji Nuan, plonked its chubby bottom down, and sat down, its front legs straight while supporting its round head, looking adorably at Ji Nuan with its watery eyes.
"Awooo~" The tail behind it wagged joyfully, the cub’s appearance was incredibly cute.
Ji Nuan was instantly charmed and happily stroked its chubby body with her fair and soft hand.
"Awoooo~" The slight comfort~
The look in the cub’s eyes was filled with pride as it gazed at the surrounding orcs, "Awooo~"
The female cub is mine~
And so is the food made by the female cub~
Ge Xing looked at the Silver Wolf cub, which was smaller than his foot, with contempt: No shame, unbeatable among beasts.
All the orcs looked at the plump Silver Wolf cub with disdain.
If there were a barrage of comments visible, the phrase ’no shame’ would probably fill the screen...
Ji Nuan lifted the lid of the pot, took out a crispy, sweet fruit, took a careful bite, and instantly, the soft and sweet taste spread in her mouth.
D-licious~
"Uncle Ge Xing, go get your bowls. I’ll split some for everyone. If it’s not enough, I can make more later," Ji Nuan told the surrounding orcs.
All the orcs scampered off to fetch their bowls.
Little Silver Wolf felt wronged. The food for the cub was shared with others, not happy!
However, the unhappy Silver Wolf cub was instantly cured by the sight of a big bowl of fragrant purple fruit porridge Ji Nuan placed in front of him.
The cub rubbed against Ji Nuan’s smooth leg, drool dripping as it squatted in front of the ceramic bowl.
It should cool down soon~ The cub wants to eat~
"Ji Nuan, I’m here! Hehe, I heard you’ve made some delicious food, can you share some with me?" Ji Nuan didn’t expect the first to come with a bowl to be the young She Wu. He might have just returned from hunting, as there were some bloodstains on his beast skin skirt.
Ji Nuan nodded with a smile, "Of course."
She filled half of She Wu’s stone bowl with a serving of purple fruit porridge, "Here you go. As there’s not much of it, I can only share a little with everyone. But it’s enough for everyone to taste."
She Wu received the stone bowl with a greedy look, a wide grin on his face, "Even just one taste is good enough, hehe!"
"By the way, Ji Nuan, when are we going to start exchanging the bug-curing medicine powder?" She Wu asked while sipping the fragrant purple fruit porridge.
Ji Nuan considered, "We’ll see. Everyone wouldn’t believe it if we directly claim it’s a bug-curing medicine powder. So we’ll have to wait for the right opportunity."
She Wu nodded, then glanced around and moved closer to Ji Nuan, only for a cold gaze to stop him in his tracks.
He looked behind the ceramic pot with sweat all over his face. A plump Silver Wolf cub was glaring at him with frosty eyes.
She Wu was shocked. Xiu Yan is here too.
Hiding his surprise, he still moved closer to Ji Nuan and stopped at a safe distance, "Ji Nuan, I have a good friend in the Liangshan Tribe. When the time comes, can you give him a share of the bug-curing medicine powder?"
Ji Nuan nodded with a smile, "Of course, it’s not a big deal."
She Wu was thrilled, "Thank you so much. I’ll bring him here when the time comes."
Just then, Ge Xing walked back with the orcs each holding a stone bowl. Glancing at She Wu’s empty bowl and the food marks on his face, Ge Xing raised an eyebrow, "Crafty little She Wu, sneaking in here first."
She Wu laughed twice, then ran off, "I’ve finished eating. I’m leaving now, you guys enjoy your meal."
He turned back and waved at Ji Nuan, "Thanks for the food; it was great."
Once he turned around, his brilliant smile disappeared, replaced with a gloomy expression.
"Big brother, don’t worry. I’ll get the bug-curing medicine powder and bring it back to the tribe."
...
Xiu Yan watched She Wu leave, a conjecture forming in his mind.
As soon as he turned his gaze, it strayed to a scene that almost sent him into a tantrum...
The one squatting on the other side of Ji Nuan, with a big bowl of purple fruit porridge in front of him, was Fu Yi...
Damn Fu Yi...
Tsk~
Dumb beast!
Trying to steal food from me again, I’ll show you the true color of a flower.
Fu Yi fully received the fierce gaze, causing him to fluff up in fright, shifting his bottom to hide behind Ji Nuan’s smooth, fair leg.
Ji Nuan stroked Fu Yi’s body, chuckling at the angry-looking chubbo, she leaned over and softly cooed into his ear, "Don’t be angry, Fu Yi has helped a lot along the way. I left a big bowl of porridge in the pot for you, it’s all yours!"
And just like that, the weather brightened up in a second. Chubbo’s eyes were gleaming, "Awooo?"
Really?
Ji Nuan nodded earnestly, picked him up, lifted the lid and showed him, "See, there’s still some left."
Satisfied~
Xiu Yan proudly glanced at Fu Yi, who was hiding behind Ji Nuan’s leg, "Awooo~"
Little female cub still loves me the most!
(Fu Yi: Have I ever said I’d steal Ji Nuan from you? Why is eating a meal so hard!)
