Chapter 142: Chapter 143, Building a Kang_1 Xiu Yan’s wolf eyes were deep and mysterious. The little female cub didn’t seem to be very fond of the Long-Eared Beasts. Could it be because they were too small? He nodded and picked up the basket, following behind Ji Nuan. After they spread some hay on the ground, Ji Nuan carefully let the Long-Eared Beasts out. Moumou, the little calf living next door, dropped the fresh green grass it was munching on at the sound, and curiously peeked over. "!!!" Scared the living crap out of the calf! Why was that damned Silver Wolf Orc here! Moumou quietly moved its four hooves and stealthily backed to its food bowl. It was safer to keep eating. Xiu Yan cast a sidelong glance at the unthreatening calf before focusing back on Ji Nuan who was feeding the Long-Eared Beasts. He must win over the little female cub before winter arrived. Paws crossed! That night, to thank Xiu Yan for his help, Ji Nuan prepared a pot of hearty, fragrant bone soup. The soup had a slightly milky appearance, enhanced further by sprinkling some green wild vegetables on top. It was an absolute beastly temptation. Ji Nuan cooked potful of purple fruit rice which was Xiu Yan’s favorite, coupled with spicy, savory stir-fried meat slices, she made two pots full of them. "Brother Xiu Yan, I’ve made plenty today. Feel free to eat as much as you want," Ji Nuan generously declared, scooping up another bowl of soup and placing it in front of Xiu Yan. "Let it cool down a bit before you drink it, it’s quite hot right now." After a long day of work, Xiu Yan was indeed starving. With the delicious food in front of him, he had no concern for being reserved. He picked up the big bowl full of purple fruit rice and started to devour it. After eating his fill, Xiu Yan headed to the stream nearby for a bath. Ji Nuan, feeling exhausted, cleaned up the pots and dishes before heading to her small cave for rest. "Awooo!" In the moonlight, a little Silver Wolf cub was squatting at the entrance of the cave, cocking his head as he looked at Ji Nuan. Ji Nuan was momentarily confused. Whose cub was this, and how did it end up at her cave? "Awooo~" A familiar howl echoed in her ears. Ji Nuan’s eyes widened as she took another look at the cub. It was Brother Xiu Yan! How come this chubby cub had lost so much weight!! (You drained him.) Hastily running over to pick up the little guy, Ji Nuan’s eyes welled up with tears. The very first Orc who had been good to her in Beast World was Xiu Yan, and she would always remember the humming beast leg in the small forest clearing. Thinking back, her numerous death-defying escapes and ability to live well in this strange world all boiled down to his company and sacrifices. Don’t worry, I will treat you well, very well. I will definitely make you plump and round like before! (Is that the main point!!!) ··· The mischievous morning chill lifted the beast skin curtain at Ji Nuan’s sleeping area, playfully caressing her face and waking her from her sleep. Stretching lazily, she looked to the side of the stone bed, which was already devoid of the little cub’s presence. Xiu Yan had taken up the responsibility of feeding all the working Orcs these past few days, so the hunting duty was quite heavy. After washing her face, Ji Nuan cheered herself up under the rising sun: "The house will be finished today. Keep going!" The hardworking Orcs had taken turns to dry all green bricks for the platform last night. Under Ji Nuan’s direction, they first built the platform’s body, leaving some space from the wall and filling it up with the green bricks. Once the pillars for the base of the platform were built with green brick, the baked platform bricks were carefully placed, one by one. After covering the base and applying a layer of green clay mixed with Sticky Grass, the stove top and chimney were built.
