Chapter 55: Chapter 51, What I Want Is You_1
"Brother, Shan Zaizai wants to gather some stinky fruit, could you help her find some big and good ones?" Ge Ye, who just finished berating her brother, appeared to have forgotten her own misdeeds, and naturally began ordering her sibling around.
Feeling his cheek blush at the sight of the grinning Ji Nuan behind his sister, Ge Tai’s eyes sparkled as he loudly agreed: "Alright, just wait for me."
Handing the stinky fruit he had just picked to a nearby orc, Ge Tai jumped down: "Let’s go, I’ll take you further in for the gathering, we haven’t been there yet, you can pick whatever you want."
Ji Nuan nodded, laughing, and followed Ge Tai towards the depths of the Stinky Fruit Forest, led by the exuberant Ge Ye.
They hadn’t gone far when a black python peeked its head out of the dense canopy of a nearby tree, its ominous snake eyes tracking the direction the trio was heading. There was a chilling smile in its eyes.
"How about this place? When we came to check it out before, this stinky fruit tree was the biggest, and its fruits are much bigger than the others. There must be a lot of fruit inside," Ge Tai said, laughing.
Ji Nuan looked up. The enormous stinky fruits hung swinging from the branches, the canopy green and lush, obscuring the blue sky - a marvelous, gigantic tree.
"Thank you, Brother Ge Tai. I’ll bother you then!" She really couldn’t climb such a thick tree.
"You’re welcome. You and Ge Ye can play around the tree for a bit. I’ll go up and pick some fruits and come down," Ge Tai said, somewhat helplessly. The little cubs were too polite, and it always felt like they were a bit distant with him.
Ji Nuan and Ge Ye obediently nodded their heads.
Setting down the basket from her back to the side, Ji Nuan prepared to bend down to grab a few fruits to eat, but discovered Ge Ye was drooling while staring at her basket.
Spotting how her saliva was almost dripping into her basket, Ji Nuan quickly pulled her companion aside and amusingly asked, "What’s the matter? Do you like this basket?"
Ge Ye’s eyes sparkled as she nodded: "Of course! You don’t know, a lot of females and orcs in the tribe want a basket like yours. The fruits and prey gathered can be placed directly into the basket, no need to worry about not having enough beast skins to prevent the fruits from falling out."
After saying this, Ge Ye pleasingly looked at Ji Nuan: "Good mountain cub, can you weave one for me? I can go collect these branches myself! Can I? Can I please?"
Ji Nuan was dizzy from Ge Ye’s head bobbing, and hastily nodded: "Alright, alright, I’ll weave one for you, let’s go together! It will be faster this way."
Ge Ye shook her head: "I can go alone. It’s just over there, not too far." Saying this, she pointed at a long tree about 50 meters away.
Without waiting for Ji Nuan’s response, Ge Ye trotted off. Watching her bouncing around the long tree, Ji Nuan helplessly shook her head.
She took out five Giggle Beast eggs from the basket, intending to roast them for the siblings later as a thank you for their help.
"Ah~~~" Suddenly, Ge Ye’s scream could be heard from behind. Ji Nuan hurriedly turned around, only to see Ge Ye being coiled by a thick black tail and dragged into the depths of the jungle.
Setting down the Giggle Beast eggs in her hand, she was about to follow, but was suddenly restrained by a pair of large paws: "Don’t go, that’s a Snake Orc. You should go to the front of the forest and find some of the tribe’s orcs for help, I’m going to chase."
Although worried for Ge Ye’s safety, with her small arms and legs, she wasn’t a match for them at all. Ji Nuan nodded.
After Ge Tai finished speaking, he chased in the direction the Snake Orc disappeared, and as he ran, golden fur gradually grew over his body, finally transforming into a fierce Golden Lion and disappearing into the Stinky Fruit Forest.
Ji Nuan also didn’t dally, she started to sprint towards the direction of the forest.
Unexpectedly, a dark shadow suddenly flashed from the tree trunk ahead. She only felt a tightness around her waist, and she was lifted up by the tail.
Seeing this familiar black color, Ji Nuan felt her heart drop. Wasn’t this the same black python that abducted Ge Ye earlier? Could it be that Ge Ye had already...?
Thinking about the peril Ge Ye could be in, Ji Nuan’s heart tightened: "You...uh oh...uh oh!!!"
The outcry she was about to vocalize was swallowed back down by a slender hand covering her mouth. Ji Nuan looked at the humanoid before her, part snake part human, with widened eyes. She almost fainted from shock. A snake!
Seeing Ji Nuan becoming rigid with fear, Ya Gu smiled mockingly.
What was so good about females? They were small and thin, seemingly about to topple down with a blow, even more timid than a Mouse Beast. Besides bearing children, they were basically useless.
A soft masculine voice whispered in Ji Nuan’s ear: "You’re Shan Zaizai, right? Follow me obediently, don’t make a sound, or I will strangle you."
The cold breath brushed past her ear, causing Ji Nuan to break out in goosebumps. She felt like this orc would undoubtedly carry out his threats.
She hurriedly nodded obediently: "Uh! Uh uh!" Hearing this, Ya Gu looked satisfied and released his hand from her mouth.
Taking in several deep breaths, Ji Nuan quickly inquired: "The female you captured earlier, what happened to her?"
Looking down from above at the slightly flustered little cub, Ya Gu smirked: "I just tossed her onto a random tree. You were my real target anyways, I just used her to distract that Golden Lion."
Ji Nuan was stunned: "Me? I’ve never seen you before."
Ya Gu bent low, his sinister snake eyes looked at her: "That’s true, but I know that you discovered the Fruit of Divine Punishment ditched by our tribe, and you also discovered two new types of food.
So, our Clan Leader and Shaman asked me to bring you back."
Ji Nuan rolled her eyes and laughed slyly: "Brother, you’ve got it all wrong, I’m not the female you’re talking about, you’ve caught the wrong beast."
Ya Gu looked at her, half-smiling: "Manli said that the cub who found the food is a Half Beast with white tiger ears and tail. Are you saying the Watson Tribe has a second Half Beast cub?"
"Man! Li!" Ji Nuan’s little white teeth gritted together, that female was too wicked.
"Let’s go! I hope you’ll be of some use." After saying so, he simply coiled his tail around her and slithered forward. The speed of the Snake Orc was fast, Ji Nuan could only see the branches and leaves flashing by in retreat.
"Even if you take me back, it’ll be useless. I won’t help you find food!" As familiar scenes quickly receded, Ji Nuan couldn’t help but feel anxious.
Hearing this, Ya Gu stopped, turned around and looked at her with cold eyes: "If you’re of no use, then go become the Tribe’s communal female!"
Ji Nuan felt as if a bucket of ice water had been thrown over her, chilling her nerves from head to toe.
"Roar!!!"
Right at this moment, a roaring lion’s roar echoed from behind, causing Ji Nuan’s eyes to light up.
