Chapter 123: Chapter 119, Coveted_1
Big Cat and the other two remaining Orcs also stepped forward to collect the insecticide powder, brewed it, and drank it.
As time passed by the seconds and minutes in the tense atmosphere, some Orcs began to glance skeptically at Ji Nuan from time to time.
But seeing her sanguine face, which seemed as if nothing could surprise her, cradling the chubby cub in her arms without any apparent worry, they reassured themselves.
The Orcs comforted themselves with the thought that perhaps the insecticide powder just took a bit longer to take effect.
While everyone was waiting, Ji Nuan suddenly stood up and walked over to the old Orc. After examining him for a while, she stood up and said: "Everyone, stand back away from the old Orc. When the medicine starts to work, he’ll probably throw up the worms that were about to kill him. I don’t want any of you getting splashed."
After saying that, she sat back down behind the large rock.
In a short while, the old Orc began to express his discomfort by clutching his stomach and gagging periodically.
"Blech~" Suddenly, he bent over and vomited a large clump of white worms onto the ground, causing the faces of the surrounding Orcs to turn green.
As the white worms began to stop squirming, a deadly silence fell upon the area.
The old Orc continued to expel worms from his mouth while Big Cat and another Orc, with flushed faces, ran into a nearby forest.
"Orcs with a high quantity of worms in their stomach, like the old Orc, will first vomit some out after taking the insecticide powder, and then they’ll excrete the rest slowly after consuming a few more doses," Ji Nuan explained to the bewildered-looking Orcs. "In simpler terms, you’ll have to sit in the bushes awhile! Those Orcs with fewer worms will recover after a few goes in the bush, as you saw with the last two."
She finished her explanation and broke into a playful laugh, "If any brave Orc wants to witness this magical sight, feel free to join."
The old Orc finally finished vomiting, and with the help of his cub, got to his feet, knelt down, and thanked Ji Nuan.
Ji Nuan brewed another batch of the insecticide potion for him: "Drink this now, and then go sit in the bush. Soon your troubles should be over."
The young cub moved forward and took the potion from Ji Nuan, feeding it to the old Orc before escorting him off to rest.
Meanwhile, some Orcs from the Watson Tribe had begun to clean up the mess left by the old Orc’s unfortunate episode.
"I’m sure you’ve all seen the effects of this insecticide powder. Head to Chief Ge Xing now, give him your trade items, and collect your powder."
Finishing her words, Ji Nuan assigned the rest of the work to Chief Ge Xing, and leisurely strolled off.

"The young female is clever, isn’t she? You must have known there was something wrong with She Wu earlier," Ya Li stepped out from behind a tree, blocking Ji Nuan’s path.
Ji Nuan’s goosebumps intensified. "So what if we did? We spared his life, that’s more than enough."
"Ha, young female, you’re so smart. You should be my partner, Ya Li’s partner. Why do you always reject me? Is it because of my looks?" As he said this, he even threw a flirtatious look towards Ji Nuan.
Ji Nuan’s hair stood on end. This crazy beast.
Ji Nuan stayed alert, keeping an eye on Ya Li. Despite his flirting with Ji Nuan, Ya Li was equally wary of the chubby Silver Wolf cub in her arms.
In the meantime, neither of the three acknowledged the presence of a milky bundle hiding behind a tree. The bundle salivated at Ya Li’s gorgeous mask, and even wiped the corner of its mouth with its paw when Ya Li sent a coquettish glance in their direction.
