Chapter 273: Chapter 272, Worries about you_1 Upon seeing the orc’s manner of eating, Little Pipi immediately joined the battlefield with chopsticks in hands. After dinner, the moon hung high in the sky, casting a gentle radiance, serene and tranquil. The cubs had long been taken back to their tents by their mothers, entering a sweet slumber. Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan bid their friends goodbye and strolled slowly back to their tent, Xiu Yan’s large hand tightly clasping Ji Nuan’s slightly cold one. After today’s attack, even though Xiu Yan returned to the tribe without saying a word, his spirit was on constant alert, for he never let Ji Nuan out of a one-meter’s distance. Whenever there was a chance, he would tightly grip Ji Nuan’s hand, preventing her from breaking free no matter how she tried. The two beasts entered the tent, Ji Nuan, a bit tired, lay on her beast skin bed, closed her eyes woozily, waiting for the embrace of the chubby cub. But until she was about to fall asleep, there were no signs of the chubby cub’s arrival, Ji Nuan, puzzled, opened her eyes to look towards where Xiu Yan had just sat. The tall orc was still sitting upright there, his profound eyes fixedly staring at her, unwavering and highly focused. Ji Nuan woke up instantly, sitting up and asked, "What’s wrong? Why aren’t you sleeping? Aren’t you tired?" Xiu Yan pursed his charming lips, his voice in the dead of night even deeper, "I can’t sleep, I’ll watch you sleep." Ji Nuan frowned, moved to his side, and grabbed his arm, "Still worrying about the attack today? Didn’t I turn out fine? Don’t worry, OK?" Xiu Yan’s muscles tensed up tightly, showing no signs of relaxation. He turned and pulled Ji Nuan into his arms, his voice carrying a barely noticeable tremble, "I won’t let you leave my side again, I promised to protect you, but let you face such great danger." Ji Nuan’s heart was both sour and swollen, this was the first time she felt so needed by someone else, she could clearly feel her importance in this orc’s heart. She raised her hand and gently stroked the orc’s back, "I won’t leave you either from now on, I’ll always be by your side, we’ll always be together, just us, no other beasts." Upon finishing her words, she could feel Xiu Yan’s body tighten suddenly, immediately followed by arms that held her even tighter. "I’ll hold you like this to sleep tonight." His words were full of certainty, leaving no room for discussion. Ji Nuan didn’t resist, she nodded obediently, "Okay." The silent night, two hearts drawing closer, two beasts truly in love. ... Perhaps Xiu yan’s embrace was so warm and secure, Ji Nuan had a sweet sleep that night. By the time she woke from her beautiful dream, it was almost noon. There was no sign of the orc by her side. Ji Nuan put on a beast skin cover, lifted the curtain, and ventilated the stagnant air from a night in the tent. The orcs were busy constructing houses. In fact, many houses were already built, but none of the orcs in the tribe moved in early. Everyone was looking forward to the completion of all the houses, to celebrate the joy of moving into new homes together. Chief Ge Xing and a group of young orcs were working shirtless, absolutely without a hint of superior airs common among tribal chiefs.
