Chapter 236: Chapter 235, Really Fragrant~_1 Ya Li watched, gaping, as the old orc with the non-threatening features brazenly sneaked another spoonful of fried meat from Grandma’s pot. His impression of orcs twisted slightly. Were the older folks really this well-received now?! "Meow meow meow~" A familiar meow came from beneath his feet. Ya Li looked down to find his pet cat, Moumou, who was now a fat little ball from eating so much! He bent down to pick up the small creature and began to grumble, "You little thing, all you know is to eat. Why didn’t you bring some back for me? You conscienceless little rascal!" Despite his words, he gently poked Moumou’s nose. The ticklish sensation made Moumou squint her eyes. Her chubby paw came up and rubbed her nose. She looked at Ya Li with a reproachful gaze and meowed, the tiny voice full of protest. Ya Li could only pacify her by stroking her fur and scratching her chin, thoroughly enjoying himself. "Alright, everyone take a break! Come and eat!" The Grandma’s call resulted in a spark in the eyes of all the males in the tribe. Dropping whatever they were doing, they sprinted towards the hearth. Ya Li tucked Moumou into his pocket and with a swift stride, quickly reached the fireside. He took the large ceramic bowl from Grandma’s hand and stared at the glistening purple rice and the sour, spicy, salty, and fragrant fried meat. Scooping both rice and meat into his mouth, the taste was simply divine. Ya Li wished he could swallow his own tongue. Finishing a bowl of rice in a flash, he immediately turned and filled another. After devouring four bowls of meals, he finally sat back, patting his round belly, contently burping before returning to his workstation. ... "Nuannuan, will those herbs we carried back grow? Can’t we just leave them here and pick them when we need them?" While bending down to pick the medicinal seedlings identified by Ji Nuan, Xiu Yan grumbled. It was already hard enough to be alone with Nuannuan, and with that annoying little Moumou tagging along, all they did was gather some herbs, and she wouldn’t even talk to him. Hmph~ Sitting on Moumou’s back, Ji Nuan said with a beaming smile: "Of course it’s different! If we plant them in the tribe, we can pick them anytime we need. If they are out here, like now, in case of a beast tide or something that prevents us from leaving, wouldn’t we run out of herbs?" Xiu Yan nodded. What Nuannuan said made a lot of sense! And so, the cheerful medicinal gathering session began under Ji Nuan’s guidance and Xiu Yan’s diligent work. Perhaps the forest had become eerily still because they had wandered too far. The lack of sound was unsettling. Even Moumou was no longer nibbling the tender grass, but instead had her ears perked up, alert and watching her surroundings. Suddenly, she began to stamp her hooves uneasily. The restless movements gave Ji Nuan a bit of a headache. "Good girl, Moumou, please calm down." Moumou, who had always listened to Ji Nuan, continued to stamp her hooves in place and looked towards the direction of the tribe from time to time. Ji Nuan sensed something was wrong. She turned to look at Xiu Yan, who seemed on high alert and said, "Brother Xiu Yan is it..." Before she could finish, she was cut off by Xiu Yan’s gesture: "Quiet, there’s a movement!"
