Chapter 85: Chapter 81, Little Ancestor_1
"Right, Brother Xiu Yan, let’s keep Moumou. Look how obedient it is. When it grows up, it can help carry lots of things I can’t!" Ji Nuan said, stroking the calf’s head, her voice filled with joy at the prospect of having another helping hand at home.
Xiu Yan’s hand, holding a porcelain bowl, trembling slightly. The Giggle Beast bone in his mouth was ground into powder by his teeth in an instant. His deep, wolf-like eyes stealthily glanced at the Green Bull Beast cub peacefully grazing, and then turned to look at Ji Nuan who was full of affection for the calf, feeling wronged.
Little resentments bubbled up from the depths of his heart.
Isn’t having me enough?
Am I not strong enough?
Why do we need another annoying baby beast?
Setting down his stone bowl, Xiu Yan rolled his eyes, and in an instant, a chubby Little Silver Wolf appeared on the beast skin.
He licked his chubby paws, stuck his plump little butt in the air, and shook his fur.
When Ji Nuan turned to look at him, she could see his rotund little body jiggling with each movement, as if sending ripples through his baby fat.
Laughter stuck in her throat, and she almost spit out a mouthful of meat gruel.
Swallowing the last bite of food, Ji Nuan held back her laughter and said to the little Silver wolf, "Little cub, you should lose some weight. You’re as fat as a Stinky Fruit!"
The chubby Little Silver Wolf shook his fluffy ears, looking incredulously at Ji Nuan, who was suppressing laughter: "Awoo!!!"
Xiu Yan’s heart was so filled with sorrow that it was made his body quiver, as if all his energy has left his body. His ears drooped listlessly atop his head, and his entire body seemed to be immersed in a thick sense of loss.
He turned his chubby body around while keeping his fat butt towards Ji Nuan, then obediently laid against the beast skin beside the stove, looking pitiful.
Ji Nuan awkwardly rubbed her nose and squatted down beside the pudgy cub, stroking his small frame: "I was wrong, don’t be angry. Ok?"
Xiu Yan wrinkled his snout and shifted his body slightly. He kept Ji Nuan behind his plump backside.
Aye~
Is he being that haughty?
"I was praising you! Why are you getting angry?" Ji Nuan moved to the other side.
The chubby cub raised his head, his eyes glowed with a touch of disdain: "Awooo!!! Awooo!!!"
I may be smaller in stature, but I’m not stupid! You clearly said that I’m too fat! Do you think I’m a fool? Hmph~
Ji Nuan quickly tried to appease him: "Little cub, you’re only cute because you’re chubby. Fleshy, round... How can you not be adorable? Right?"
The Little Silver Wolf considered her words, raising his round head, a look of skepticism on his face: "Awoo?"
Is it true?
Ji Nuan nodded earnestly: "Indeed! Look into my sincere eyes."
She has such beautiful eyes — completely round, like the moon at night.
He pushed up his front paws, and lifted his small head, puffing out his chest. His round eyes looked at Ji Nuan contently: "Awooo~"
Alright, fine, I’ll forgive you, seeing as you seem sincere.
Having finally placated the little boss, Ji Nuan quickly cleaned up the pots and pans, and in Xiu Yan’s cave, kept a nest for the calf with dry grass.
Picking up the chubby Little Silver Wolf, she returned to her own small cave. The little lord should get some sleep instead of making people fuss over him.
Contented in Ji Nuan’s warm, soft embrace, Xiu Yan’s half-lidded eyes perfectly expressed the cub’s satisfaction.

Ge Xing sat on a large stone on the open ground, his lion-like eyes narrowed in laughter. The piles of Stinky Fruits on the ground are being turned by the orcs into barrels of Stinky Fruit powder. Once sealed with giant leaves, these are continuously carried into the tribe’s public Food Storage Cave.
After the Manli incident, the women in the tribe became more industrious. There was a lot to do in the tribe. Under Aunt Naima’s organization, all except for those carrying cubs gathered on the open ground to help the orcs process the game.
A piece by piece, salt fruits were opened with sharp orc claws. Once a large leaf was filled with the pure white salt powder, the women took it away to marinate the game. All the preparations for the winter were carried out in an orderly manner.
Aunt Shaman couldn’t help but be moved to see the Food Storage Cave being gradually filled with various foods. As far as she could remember, their supplies had never been so plentiful. Even having half this amount had been a rarity.
Because they had always had a scarce amount of food to store.
