Chapter 124: Chapter 120, Marked_1
"So, how about it? Would you consider coming back with me to the Tumang Tribe and be my companion?" Ya Li’s voice was soft and seductive, making the tiny cub feel as if its little legs were about to buckle.
Unable to repress its affection any longer, the tiny cub let out a "meow" and rapidly jumped onto Ya Li’s back, its four stubby legs tightly wrapped around Ya Li’s pretty face. The cub incessantly rubbed its body against him, and kept purring happily.
Ji Nuan stood open-mouthed and speechless watching the usually fierce and cruel Snake Beast stand there, motionless with a pale face, allowing a tiny kitten to take liberties with him.
At that moment, every muscle in Ya Li’s body was tense, and the fear in his heart surged like waves in the ocean, he screamed internally: "Cat... Cat..."
Where did this cat come from? Doesn’t it know that beasts are most afraid of cats?!!!
Ji Nuan had also stopped in place then, watching the spectacle. After all, it’s rare to see interesting events happening with the usually grim Snake Orc.
Moreover, she was also a bit worried about the small kitten’s safety.
After being satisfied with its share of cuddles and licks, the tiny cub contentedly settled onto Ya Li’s shoulder and leisurely started grooming its paw.
It would occasionally lift its little head to rub against Ya Li, who looked utterly dejected.
"Meow Meow? Meow Meow? Where are you? Come out quickly, or else father will smack your little bottom!" An all too familiar voice shout came from outside the forest.
Ji Nuan glanced surprisingly at the kitten on Ya Li’s shoulder, that was flicking its tiny tail. Could it be that this little critter is Cat’s cub?
The kitten reluctantly gave one more lick to Ya Li’s handsome face, then opened its small mouth and left a tiny tooth mark on his soft collar bone. After the initial sting, a tiny tooth mark could be seen on Ya Li’s collarbone.
Ji Nuan watched this unexpected development with surprise.
At this time Xiu Yan was however, gloating: "Ya Li has been marked by this youngster."
"Marked? Does it mean that Ya Li will become this youngster’s companion?" Ji Nuan asked out of curiosity.
Xiu Yan grinning, "Of course not. Such a mark carries no significance; it’s merely an expression of affection. But I am curious to see what Ya Li, this old snake, would look like knowing that he’s been marked by a juvenile female cub, ha ha!"
Ji Nuan gently patted his chubby paw, "Little cubs are very naughty. I like it."
The little kitten over there was being held by the back of its neck by Cat, swinging back and forth in his hand. But its eyes were still drooling over Ya Li from time to time.
Ya Li was looking defeated, his snake face pale. He dashed away at a breakneck speed and disappeared from everyone’s sight in no time.
Cat came over holding the mischievous little kitten: "Ji Nuan, this is my younger female cub, she’s very naughty and always running around."
Ji Nuan gently touched the kitten’s fluffy little head, her eyes full of love: "She’s a very cute cub, looks healthy and strong."
Hearing Ji Nuan’s praise, Cat broke into a grin.
(But she is praising the cub not you.)
"Cat, you did a good job this time. We’ll fulfill our promise and head back to the Watson Tribe the day after tomorrow," Ji Nuan said to Cat with a smile.
Cat’s eyes turned red with joy as he watched Ji Nuan return to the Tumang Tribe’s camp. Only then did he quicken his pace and head towards the river.
He wanted to share this good news with his tribe members.
