Chapter 107: Chapter 103, The Spy Takes Action_1
The chirping of birds was particularly lively on the second morning, and Ji Nuan, hugging the chubby little wolf cub in her arms, turned over and covered her ears with two chubby paws.
So noisy, why do I feel that the cries of the birds and beasts today are exceptionally loud?
Suddenly, a loud lion’s roar came from outside, making the arrogant birds and beasts quiet down instantly under the pressure of the top-level predator. Apart from the occasional snippets of hushed whispering, there was no longer the previously ear-piercing noise.
Ji Nuan sat up clutching the soft, chubby cub, her mind was completely awake.
Uncle Ge Xing, I know you mean well, but now I can’t get back to sleep.
Angrily, she squeezed the cub’s chubby paw and stood up to go outside the tent.
Overnight, tribes had sprung up in the basin like bamboo shoots after a rain, the inner circle was already occupied by the early-coming tribes.
The late-coming tribes were all gathered around the outer rim of the basin and there was a faint smell of blood drifting in the air. It was unclear whether it came from injured orcs crossing the river, or from the beasts hunted that morning.
Some tribes were rearranging the items they were to trade, some tribes were dissecting the bodies of wild beasts, and some orcs, like Ji Nuan, were irritably rubbing their eyes and crawling out of their grass nests ...
All presented a lively scene.
Ji Nuan washed up in the small river in the middle of the basin, went back to the tent, and started preparing the items she would need to trade later.
The cub was still turning over, sleeping soundly with its little white tummy, the corners of its mouth soaked with its saliva.
Ji Nuan crouched down enviously and poked the soft little belly. The cub flexed its plump leg twice unconsciously and opened its large, bewildered eyes.
Seeing it was a female cub, Xiu Yan yawned widely, crawled into Ji Nuan’s arms with tears in her eyes, rubbed her round little head against her, and fell asleep again.
"Ji Nuan, are we going out for a walk today?" a careful voice of Fu Yi came from outside the tent, making Ji Nuan almost snicker.
The previous night, Xiu Yan cub had strongly protested against her behavior of holding Fu Yi’s furball, and the cold stares from her small eyes nearly made Fu Yi a sieve.
After being mentally tormented last night, Fu Yi had developed a psychological shadow towards the seemingly cute and chubby cub in Ji Nuan’s arms.
"Yes, let’s go to the Gray Bear Tribe today, Ge Ye asked me to get her some crispy sweet fruits." Ji Nuan seemed to remember Ge Ye saying that the crispy sweet fruits were very popular among the females, so it would be better to exchange for more while there weren’t many beasts around.
"Okay, I’ll go get two pieces of roast meat first, let’s eat breakfast and then leave."
Watching Fu Yi’s departing figure, Ji Nuan sighed: Fu Yi is really a good orc, handsome and capable, I wonder which lucky female he will go to in the future.
She lifted the chubby cub in front of her, shaking him awake: "Wake up, the sun is shining on your butt!"
"Yaw~" With a husky little voice carrying a small complaint, the round little eyes looked at Ji Nuan sleepily.
"Hehe~" Ji Nuan laughed awkwardly with a little bit guilt in her heart.
"Get up and eat meat, after eating I’ll go out for a walk, you can continue to sleep hah!"
Still sleeping? What? Xiu Yan instantly became full of excitement, her eyes brightly staring at Ji Nuan: "Awowow?"
Who’s going out with which beast? She wouldn’t dare leave the cub behind would she?
Ji Nuan was feeling a little guilty, her eyes darting in all directions, and she muttered: "I’m just going out to have a look, I’m going to find the Gray Bear Orcs to exchange some crispy sweet fruits."
The chubby cub wriggled free of Ji Nuan’s hands and transformed into a tall and stern orc after landing.
"I’ll go with you, call Fu Yi to carry things!"
Hmph~ Hooking up with my little female, let him do the heavy lifting!
Ji Nuan breathed a sigh of relief inside, finally able to explain Fu Yi’s existence.
"I’m here to find the little female, the Watson Tribe won’t refuse a regular exchange, will they?" A familiar yet ambiguously soft voice came from outside the tent.
Ji Nuan stiffened as a reflex; that was Ya Li.
Chief Ge Xing’s voice carried a cold tone: "Our exchange items are all outside, you can take a look, there’s nothing in Ji Nuan’s tent, is there?"
Ya Li laughed lazily, his cold and snake-like eyes still fixed on the tent not far away covered by the beast skin curtain: "What I want to exchange is only available here with Ji Nuan!"
Leaning slightly forward, his slender and slightly skinny body close to Chief Ge Xing, a smirk at the corner of his mouth: "The powder that cures bug disease."
Ge Xing’s pupils suddenly shrank, the palm by his side instantly clenched.
Looking sharply at the smiling Ya Li, shock crashing in his chest, has that traitor already told the Tumang Tribe about the medicine?
