Chapter 108: Chapter 104, Who is it?_1
Xiu Yan observed the alertness of the young female cub, furrowing his sharp eyebrows, and sheltered her behind him as he lifted the beast skin curtain.
For some reason, Ji Nuan was intimidated by this Snake Orc, not just due to his bestial form, but his cold, calculative stare as well.
As Xiu Yan lifted the beast skin curtain, Ji Nuan’s small delicate claws couldn’t help but tighten around his beast skin skirt, her small frame seemed ready to curl up into a tight ball.
She was completely shielded behind Xiu Yan, not even one finger exposed.
The towering Silver Wolf, radiating an aura as cold as frost, appeared outside the tent, thereby shadowing the gloating expression on Ya Li’s feminine face in an instant.
An orc emerging from the cub’s tent?
Ya Li’s eyes grew seemingly cruel at the thought that this orc could possibly be the cub’s mate.
Even though he didn’t see Ji Nuan, her faint, fragrant scent didn’t escape his keen sense of smell.
Ya Li lazily straightened his body, his narrow snake-like eyes flickered, a wicked charm surfacing within them. "Little female cub, I’m here to trade medication powder that cures insect diseases. How can we trade if you keep hiding behind this orc?"
Ji Nuan’s weak voice echoed from behind Xiu Yan: "We won’t exchange the medicine powder now. Come back in a few days."
"That’s fine, there’s no need to hurry. It’s been a long while since we’ve seen each other, why don’t we visit different tribes together? You can pick any object you fancy, I’d trade it with you," Ya Li extended his pale slender hand towards Ji Nuan’s direction.
Embarrassingly enough, his palm touch a sturdy chest instead.
Ya Li, for once, felt a surge of anger towards the Silver Wolf male who blocked in front of the cub. His smirk became more pronounced, yet his gaze turned colder: "Move, I’m talking to the cub."
Xiu Yan slightly raised his eyebrows, his cold aura intensifying. He stared at him icily and his lips parted slightly, "Go away!"
With his words, the air suddenly filled with his dangerous aura, causing the noisy chatter to come to an abrupt halt. A powerful orc has the ability to deter enemies and prey with their aura.
The more powerful the orc, the more horrifying their aura. Clearly, Silver Wolf Xiu Yan’s aura was powerful and dangerous.
The orcs from the surrounding tribes were astonished as they looked towards the territory of the Watson Tribe. No one expected such a formidable orc to reside within the Watson Tribe!
Ya Li, who was closest to Xiu Yan, felt the full brunt of this ferocious aura. He was forced to withdraw several steps back, only barely supported by three orcs from the Tumang Tribe.
Breaking away from the supporting orcs, Ya Li gave one last deep look at the stern orc towering over him. He departed with his fellow Tumang Tribe orcs, leaving behind a sarcastic snort.
"Tch, I’ll wait till the time comes for the trade, don’t say I didn’t warn you."
As the figures gradually disappeared into the distance, Ji Nuan cautiously poked her head out from behind Xiu Yan.
Meeting the beast she least wanted to encounter early in the morning left her in a foul mood. Her cheeks puffed up in annoyance, her fluffy tail also swung around in agitation. Even the two little ears on her head drooped slightly.
"So annoying, this ruined my mood first thing in the morning!"
Turning around to pat her fluffy little head, Xiu Yan’s eyes remained calm and collected: "Don’t mind him, I’m here. Let’s go and eat the roasted meat. Don’t we still have to visit the orcs of the Gray Bear Tribe?"
"Oh right!" Upon remembering, Ji Nuan smacked her forehead, nearly forgetting about the important matters.
Watching Ji Nuan hurry towards Fu Yi, who was roasting the meat, Xiu Yan uncharacteristically didn’t follow her.
His eyes shone brightly with a dangerous light as he turned towards Chief Ge Xing, whose face was as dark as the night sky: "Uncle Clan Leader, it seems Ya Li knows all about what’s happening in our tribe."
Ge Xing could only reply grimly, "We will put an end to him sooner or later."
As for the identity of ’him’, the understanding was crystal clear in both their hearts.
···
"How is it? Do you still not know where the medication powder to cure the insect disease is?" An infuriated Ya Li dismissed the orcs behind him and found himself alone in the woods outside the basin.
After a while, a fledgling orc’s voice echoed from behind: "It should be with Ji Nuan all the time. Her belongings are all taken care of by Xiu Yan, the other beasts don’t have a chance to touch them."
"If you can bring me that medication powder before their trade, you need not return to the Watson Tribe, you’ll come back to our tribe with me." Ya Li’s words were filled with temptation.
The young orc was ecstatic, "Really? Big brother!"
Upon hearing this address, Ya Li swiftly turned around.
His icy gaze swept over him, "Do not call me big brother, wait until you bring back the item."
