Chapter 84: Chapter 80: Am I Likable_1
Ji Nuan’s head suddenly throbbed with clear pain. How could she have forgotten about this? In a hurry, she waved her hands, "I don’t need a drink, I have plenty of energy now."
Xiu Yan had a bit of a headache, knowing that the females in the tribe were averse to drinking blood. But it was also the only way to prevent weakness. Why couldn’t these youngsters cooperate?
The Silver Wolf Orc, rarely serious, locked his gaze on Ji Nan: "No, you must drink."
Ji Nuan was firm, "I really don’t need to drink. I was actually weak a few days ago. But ever since I started using salt fruit as a food source, I haven’t been feeling weak. So, from now on, we just have to eat salt fruit and the Orcs won’t have to face risks to catch live prey."
Xiu Yan stared intently at Ji Nuan for a while before he opened his mouth to speak, "Alright, I’ll trust you this time. I won’t drink blood, I’ll eat salt fruit with you instead."
Having said that, he picked up the prey from the ground and headed towards the river.
"Hurry back, dinner’s almost ready."
The tall figure of the Orc paused, then disappeared from Ji Nuan’s sight, all that remained was a cold, low voice wrapped in a playful breeze that reached her ears, "Hmm."
Ji Nuan covered her mouth and chuckled for a while, but when she looked up, she was met with a pair of watery eyes, "..."
The small calf stood obediently. Its teary, big eyes stared at Ji Nuan, whose heart immediately softened. Going forward, she stroked the calf that had come to her waist, "Don’t be afraid, we are not going to hurt you."
(The carcasses of the calf’s parents are being cleaned and skinned by your plump cub. It’s too late for kind words.)
The small calf was clearly frightened by the ferocious Silver Wolf Orc. Upon encountering Ji Nuan, who was exuding a strong feeling of kindness, its little heart was immediately soothed.
When Xiu Yan, who had finished cleaning the prey and himself, returned to the cave, he saw the previously terrified Green Bull Beast cub cuddling against Ji Nuan. It was chewing on some fresh grass contentedly while its watery eyes were filled with attachment towards the little cub.
The cub held a porcelain bowl leisurely filled with food. Every now and then, she would reach out to pat the calf’s head, her eyes filled with affection.
Crash!!
Dared to compete with me for affection!
The deep eyes of the wolf beast slightly squinted, shooting out invisible darts.
The calf suddenly felt a chill on its back, and it took a few steps closer to Ji Nuan. It then crunched back down, trembling, shaking its soft ears, and grabbing some fresh grass to chew.
Xiu Yan: ...
Stupid beast, I’ll eat you!
He walked into the cave, took a clean Beast Skin to sit by the small mud stove, and conscientiously scooped himself a large bowl of thick and scrumptious meat porridge. The delicious smell caused his eyes to curve with happiness.
He looked at the calf by Ji Nuan, seemingly unintended, "Since we’re not drinking blood anymore, I’ll take care of this little Green Bull Beast tomorrow. The meat of a cub is very tender. I’ll roast it for you to eat." His narrow and deep wolf eyes shot a cold, sharp knife-like look.
"Moo!!!" The calf raised his head in alarm as if sensing the Orc’s intimidating intent. The fresh grass it had been contentedly chewing fell out of its slightly open mouth. Its terrified, juvenile voice startled Ji Nuan who was enjoying her delectable meat porridge, making her almost overturn the bowl she held.
"Don’t be scared, he’s just joking, he won’t eat you! Good boy!" As she hurriedly comforted the calf, stroking its head gently, she turned around to glare at Xiu Yan.
She had just glared at him!!!
Xiu Yan felt all wronged. What was so good about this Green Bull Beast cub?
Was it more adorable than him?
Could it hunt?
"Don’t talk about eating Moumou anymore, it will scare him," Comforting the calf, Ji Nuan turned around and quietly told Xiu Yan.
Ah, so it now had a name too!
Xiu Yan’s deep wolf eyes watched her intently, the twinkling indicating emotions brewing underneath.
Unfortunately, Ji Nuan, who was busy caring for the calf, didn’t notice it. She looked at the silent Xiu Yan and asked, "Okay?"
He nodded silently. His long, slender arms held the bowl and he took a big gulp of the meat porridge.
Tsk~ The delicious food from before, why did it taste sour now!
