Chapter 128: Chapter 124, Apples! Hemp Fruit! Can’t tell the difference! _1
"Is this the ’Ma’ fruit?" Ji Nuan stared at the palm-sized red apple in her hand, her mouth watering at the sight of it.
What ’Ma’ fruit? It’s clearly just an apple.
She reached out, grabbing the big apple and giving it a squeeze. It was hard and smooth on the surface.
Taking advantage of Xiu Yan’s distraction, she took a big bite.
Contrary to the crisp, sweet, and juicy taste she anticipated, her mouth was suddenly assaulted by an overwhelmingly numbing sensation, accompanied by a touch of spiciness. Ji Nuan’s pale and tender face immediately crinkled like a mushroom, sweat trickled down her forehead like a small stream, tears and snot uncontrollably burst forth.
Ji Nuan’s distressed state frightened the gathered beastmen around her. Upon seeing her like this, Xiu Yan instantly understood. The little one had surely taken advantage of his inattention to steal a bite of the ’Ma’ fruit.
He scooped the poor lass into his arms and dashed towards the river.
Ji Nuan swore she had never appreciated the stream water as much as she did at that moment.
Gulping down mouthfuls of cool stream water instantly alleviated the numbing spiciness in her mouth.
After about ten minutes, Ji Nuan finally regained her strength. Her reflection in the stream revealed her current disheveled state; her somewhat swollen lips looked quite funny adorning her delicate face.
Ji Nuan was desolate; she looked incredibly ridiculous. She had planned on preparing some food with ’Ma’ fruit tonight, but now, it seemed she might have to give it a rest.
The ’Ma’ fruit incident became a fun anecdote for the journey back to their tribe, and after her experience, Ji Nuan finally curbed some of her curiosity. She decided to refrain from courting disaster for the sake of survival.
"Amu, it seems that Ji Nuan likes eating fruit and vegetables just like us!" Tu Yaoyao sat astride a middle-aged beastman with Amu, her big watery eyes sneakily peeping over at the sullen Ji Nuan who was lying on the back of a Silver Wolf Orc.
Amu patted her on the head and said, "You need to get along well with Ji Nuan in the future. Look at how capable she is, becoming a Shaman at such a young age."
Tu Yaoyao nodded obediently, "Mmm, I will help Ji Nuan identify the right fruits and vegetables in the future so she won’t suffer like she did this time."
Unbeknownst to Ji Nuan, she was being pitied by the members of Rabbit, Deer, and Cat Clans, and they further affirmed their determination to take care of her.
(Oh, what a wonderful misunderstanding.)

"Gouzi, is the tribe you’re referring to down there?" Within a forest not far from the Watson Tribe, several Hyena Orcs lurked, their eyes filled with greed as they watched the bustling Watson Tribe in the distance.
Heh heh, Boss, it’s this tribe. I’ve been watching for a few days. Half of their tribe members seem to be attending a tribal gathering, and only a portion of them are left behind.
I see them carrying back loads and loads of prey every day. It makes me drool just thinking about it!" He said as he swallowed hard, his eyes gleaming ferociously.
Goudan, upon hearing this, had the same look of greed in his eyes. The rumbling of their stomachs echoed clearly through the open forest.
"You keep an eye on them and try to figure out how many beasts they have. I’ll go back and gather our clan. We’ll rob them of their food and females. Hehe!" Goudan let out a lewd laugh.
Gouzi responded with an equally lewd laugh at his brother’s idea.
The bustling Watson Tribe had no idea that the Hyena Tribe, which usually loitered deep in the Eneru Mountains, had made their way to the Eneru Forest and were planning to raid them.
