Chapter 81: Chapter 77, The Beast is Not Stupid_1
Ya Li was anxious, quickly walked to his younger brother and squatted down: "Is the cub in Manli’s belly really yours?"
A touch of bitterness flitted across Ya Gu’s eyes as he nodded with difficulty.
Orcs were very sensitive to smell. When Manli had fallen on him earlier, he had detected that the cub in her belly was indeed his. During these times when females were scarce, being able to have his own cub excited him immensely. But seeing Manli, the bearer of his cub, just made Ya Gu feel like he was stuck in the freezing winter snowstorm again.
The conflicting cold and warmth in his heart made him feel even worse.
Ya Li sighed heavily, turned around, and walked to the front of the group: "Let’s go ahead with the exchange."
Ge Xing laughed heartily and waved his hands towards the orcs of the Watson Tribe, the burly and strong orcs howled and rushed over. In a short while, the previously crowded ground had no prey or Fruit of Divine Punishment left.
A gust of wind blew, and surprisingly, not even dust was stirred up.
Stunned by the tactful moves of the orc group, Ji Nuan clenched her little claws. Good, learning from this.
In the end, the orcs of the Tumang Tribe could only carry the still limp Ya Gu and the choking Manli, and follow the grim-faced Ya Li on their journey back home.
···
With no more spectacle to watch, Ji Nuan smacked her lips in disappointment before remembering her porcelain and started to head back to the cave.
However, she was pulled by Ge Ye to stand in front of Chief Ge Xing and the Shaman. Ge Xing looked at her with a grin and deeply meaningful expression, which gave Ji Nuan goosebumps.
"When will you and Xiu Yan form a pair, Ji Nuan?" The Shaman also started smiling.
Thunder rumbling, Ji Nuan’s round cat-eyed pupils dilated.
"When did I say I wanted to pair up with Brother Xiu Yan?" she protested, though she had lusted over the cool and handsome orc for a long time, it was purely appreciation, without any other implications.
(Really? Dare to swear on it?)
Aunt Ge Rou also popped up from the side: "Isn’t Ji Nuan just too shy because Xiu Yan is here? Didn’t you tell Little Ye Zi last time that you liked Xiu Yan? Uncle Xiu Li and I both heard it."
Ji Nuan bristled, scrambling to explain: "That’s because...mmm~"
Before she could finish, Xiu Yan’s wolfish eyes narrowed slightly, he took a long stride, covered her small mouth with his long arm, hoisted her onto his shoulder, and walked off.
"We will pair up when Nuannuan comes of age." His cold magnetic voice revealed an unmistakable hint of joy.
Behind them, the mocking gazes of the orcs watched as they disappeared into the distance.
···
Upon returning to the cave, Xiu Yan set Ji Nuan down on the stone bed.
Ji Nuan rose from the bed, fuming, she looked up...hmm?
Where’s the beast?
It ran away?
How dare it!
"Awooh~" Suddenly, an adorable babyish voice came from under the bed.
Ji Nuan’s lips twitched as she looked down.
Just as she thought!
A chubby little silver wolf was propping itself up with two pudgy paws. This adorable cub with a round little head was sitting obediently on the ground, its furry face was full of innocence.
Bang!
The flame in Ji Nuan’s heart was extinguished in a "puff" at the sight of this chubby cub.
She straightened her small frame and attempted to look stern: "Turning into a cub won’t help!"
Xiu Yan’s eyes flashed as he extended a pudgy paw to scratch the beast skin wrapped around her feet. With his round skull slightly titled, he rubbed his furry face against her foot in a coquettish wail of "awooh awooh".
She stared at him: "Get up, coquetting won’t work either~"
"Awooh~" The chubby cub’s little ears trembled, he rolled over and revealed his fluffy belly. His tiny fluffy body squirmed against her foot, expecting her to rub his belly.
Those expecting eyes!
"I won’t touch!"
"Awooh~" A chubby paw patted its belly, then looked at Ji Nuan again expectantly.
The tiny short legs pushed against Ji Nuan’s foot, begging her to touch his belly!
He was clearly cheating. Under the cub’s relentless cuteness attack, Ji Nuan finally gave in and scooped up the chubby little fellow, scratching his chin, rubbing his belly, and squeezing its paw.
The chubby cub prowling contentedly within Ji Nuan’s embrace had a satisfying gleam of victory in its eyes.
While pinching the chubby little fellow’s pudgy paws, Ji Nuan said: "I will explain everything to Aunt Shaman, Clan Leader and Aunt Ge Rou tomorrow, got it?"
Lifting its round little head, the cub’s fuzzy face showed confusion: What are you saying, I don’t understand~
Ji Nuan gritted her teeth: "Even though you have turned smaller, does that mean your intelligence has regressed, too?"
The chubby cub’s little ears drooped, he grabbed her hand and placed it on his belly, then squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
Ji Nuan ended up laughing and cursing, seeing his adorable appearance, she still couldn’t bear to scold him.
Was he taking her for granted?
Xiu Yan hummed with satisfaction inside, I won’t go to them, I’m not a stupid beast!
