Under the sheer embarrassment, Little Silver Wolf allowed himself to be bathed by the little female, and he even voluntarily refrained from acting mischievously.
After the little she-baby had washed him clean and dried him, he buried his tiny head consciously in the nest and obediently went to sleep.
As for what the mighty Silver Wolf Orc was really thinking?
Heh heh~
Who cares?
After dumping the dirty water from the wooden barrel, Ji Nuan yawned heartily, stumbled back into the cave, lay down on the stone bed, and fell asleep.
But at this moment, the chubby cub who had already fallen asleep on the small bed opened his round eyes, silently stared at Ji Nuan’s sleeping face for a long time, then let out a little yawn, rested his little head on his chubby paw, and went back to sleep.
···
"Chirp chirp~ chirp chirp chirp~" Two unknown little yellow birds landed not far from Ji Nuan’s cave, pecking around on the ground, occasionally lifting their heads to huddle together and chirp as if discussing how tasty today’s breakfast was.
On closer inspection, you could still find some grains of purple fruit rice on the ground. That was probably where Ji Nuan dumped the water from cleaning the pot yesterday.
Awoken by the chirping of the birds, Ji Nuan rubbed her somewhat sore eyes. The chubby cub was no longer in the small nest beside her.
She stepped out of the cave eagerly, heading toward the clearing.
After removing the wood stacked on top, six pieces of glossy green kitchenware appeared in front of Ji Nuan.
"So beautiful~" This world was truly magical. She hadn’t expected that the green clay could so easily be used to make porcelain, and without any cracks at that.
"This is porcelain?" Xiu Yan stood behind Ji Nuan, carrying a fat Humming Beast on his shoulder. The wound on the beast’s neck was dripping blood, which slowly pooled into a small red puddle at Xiu Yan’s feet.
Ji Nuan excitedly nodded: "Yes it is, with porcelain we won’t need the heavy stone pots anymore."
She held up a porcelain bowl in front of Xiu Yan: "This is a porcelain bowl, much lighter than a stone bowl, it’s not tiring to hold at all."
Then she turned around, picked up the porcelain pot and lid: "Look, this porcelain pot is thin and lighter than a stone pot, it can save us a lot of time cooking, and this lid is way better than a large leaf."
Again, she picked up a plate excitedly: "From now on we can put the cooked meat slices in this dish when we eat purple fruit rice, isn’t it very convenient?"
The eyes of the little she-baby were twinkling like little stars, bright indeed.
Xiu Yan chuckled, reaching out his slim hand with prominent knuckles, wanting to touch her fluffy little head. But seeing the blood stain on his hand from the Humming Beast, he put it back down.
He put the Humming Beast from his shoulder aside, the stench of blood causing him to frown slightly: "Ji Nuan, you are really amazing. Put these porcelains in the cave first, I just saw some Orcs from Tumang Tribe when I came back, they are carrying a lot of Fruit of Divine Punishment, probably here for the the exchange at Ya Gu. You might want to go check it out."
Ji Nuan’s eyes lit up: "The Orcs from the Tumang Tribe are here?" Her eyes showed eager anticipation, her thrill-seeking nature simply unchangeable.
Seeing her like this, Xiu Yan knew she wanted to go. He laughed lightly: "Then you put the porcelain away first, I’ll go wash up in the river. Wait for me to come back and I’ll take you with me."
Ji Nuan pouted: "Can I go first, you can come find me after you’ve washed up, right?"
Xiu Yan raised an eyebrow, a playful glint in his eyes: "Sure, but I think I saw Ya Li when I just came back, isn’t he..."
As soon as Ji Nuan heard Ya Li’s name, she immediately felt goosebumps all over and quickly waved her hands: "Then, I think I’ll just wait for you to come back and go together, there’s no rush."
Only joking, the mere thought of the two Snake Orcs who almost kidnapped her gave her the creeps. There was no way she would dare to go alone, might as well wait for Mr. Reliable.
Xiu Yan, who had successfully scared the little she-baby, whistled triumphantly in his heart and ambled towards the river.
He actually hadn’t seen Ya Li at all. That Snake Orc should be resting in his tribe after the injury, how could he casually run to other tribes!
Meanwhile, in the woods.
"Ya Li, are you really going to seek a mate in the Watson Tribe this time?" Mo Qi’s brow furrowed, looking at Ya Li who was still a bit pale, his tone a bit anxious.
The somewhat feminine looking Orc glanced at him briefly, his elongated snake eyes revealing nothing. He opened his soft pink lips and said: "That little she-baby is very clever. Although she’s only a Half Beast, I believe she can bring us many surprises if I bring her back to the Tribe."
Saying this, he didn’t bother to engage him further.
Well, this exchange was his responsibility, Mo Qi’s opinions weren’t really important.
Taking a look at the 50 or so game animals carried by his tribesmen behind him, Ya Li’s eyes flashed with grim determination. This much game was enough to trade for 5 adult females in other small tribes, let alone a Half Beast she-baby. He was convinced that the Watson Tribe would definitely agree.
