Chapter 76: Chapter 72: The Blessing of Qi Beast? _1 The adorable Little Silver Wolf cub acted so cute that it made Ji Nuan’s heart melt. Without thinking, she reached out her hand and gently rubbed the chubby cub’s belly. Xiu Yan squinted his eyes comfortably, making a purring sound from his throat, looking extremely content. Perhaps the tummy rub was too relaxing, the Silver Wolf cub dozed off with a little snore, its round belly rising and falling, looking adorable. Ji Nuan took a small piece of Beast Skin from the cave and covered him with it, then tiptoed to the just-cleared area. The clay must have been picked from the water by Brother Xiu Yan, it was still in a moist state, ready to be shaped. She took two fist-sized clay balls and placed them on a stone slab. She rolled the clay into a long strip and then built a bowl shape from bottom to top. Smoothing it out, a simple clay bowl was made. Using the same method, Ji Nuan made a clay pot, a pot lid, and a few bowls and dishes. She laid a layer of the wood picked up earlier underneath, carefully placed a few clay pieces in, and surrounded them with more wood, then lit the fire. As the wood burned, the flames grew stronger. The shapes of the clay pieces in the fire were faintly visible. Even though she had seen the fired clay before, Ji Nuan still nervously clenched her small hands. She hoped it would be successful! As time passed by, adding wood to the fire shifted from Ji Nuan to Xiu Yan. As an Orc, Xiu Yan squatted by the hot fire, his bronze skin revealing a bewitching color under the glow of the flames. "Brother Xiu Yan, let’s have dinner first." Ji Nuan handed him a bowl of stir-fried meat with Zigu rice. Xiu Yan added a couple more pieces of wood and took the stone bowl from Ji Nuan: "You should eat too, I can watch it here." It was too hot near the fire and it would make the little female cub uncomfortable. "Alright, you stay here, I’ll go to Grandma Shaman’s place to see Uncle Clan Leader." Xiu Yan nodded at her words: "Okay, I gathered more Sharp Tooth Grass when I was out, you can bring more medicine for Grandma Shaman." "Alright, I got it." · · · Uncle Clan Leader was sleeping soundly, Aunt Naima was processing a piece of Beast Skin on one side. Seeing Ji Nuan come over she was delighted: "Ji Nuan is here, come and sit." She patted the Beast Skin next to her. Ji Nuan walked over and sat down, took a small Beast Skin bag from her bosom and handed it to her: "Auntie, this is Sharp Tooth Grass Powder. The medicine from this morning was not enough for so many days, and when Brother Xiu Yan went out, he collected some more. You can give it to Grandma Shaman when she comes back." Naima nodded: "Thank you so much, Ji Nuan. If it weren’t for you···" Ji Nuan sighed, this mother and daughter pair say the same thing: "Please don’t say that. Uncle Clan Leader has always taken care of me. And now I am Grandma Shaman’s disciple, it’s my duty to treat the injured tribesmen." Touching her head, Naima hesitated as she looked at Ji Nuan, then seemed to make up her mind and grabbed her hand: "Ji Nuan, there’s something Auntie Naima wants to tell you." Ji Nuan was confused: "What is it? Please tell me." "It’s about my son Ge Tai···" She glanced at Ji Nuan. Thinking of the sunshine-like orc with a hearty laugh, Ji Nuan smiled: "What’s wrong with Brother Ge Tai? Does he need my help?" Naima awkwardly said: "Actually, last time when my son Ge Tai proposed to be your Guardian Orc, you didn’t agree. We all understand his feelings, he wants to be your partner. What do you think? I know you and Xiu Yan are getting along well now, but Ge Tai doesn’t mind, if the three of you are together, you can live a better life!" At Naima’s words, Ji Nuan felt as if she was being treated as a concubine of someone else’s son, but why didn’t she feel any sense of happiness? She said: "Auntie Naima, Brother Xiu Yan and I are not in the kind of relationship you express. He only stays with me because of his health condition. I don’t want to find a partner now. Even if I want to find a partner in the future, I will only choose the Orc that I like, the one that only belongs to us, and no one else." Holding Naima’s hand: "Brother Ge Tai is so good, he will surely meet a female that likes him in the future." With a sigh of frustration, Naima nodded: "I hope so, the young females these days··· oh!" "If Uncle Clan Leader is alright then I will go back first. You get some rest early, you must be tired from taking care of uncle all day." With some unease, Ji Nuan immediately took her leave. Naima nodded, stood up and held her hand, walking her to the cave entrance: "Take care, you should get some rest too. In a few days, we’ll need your help to check on your uncle." Ji Nuan agreed, waved to Auntie Naima, and rushed off toward her own cave.
