Chapter 340 - 339, Efficiency_1
"Alright, go ahead and till the land then, I’m off." Ge Xing waved his hand and turned to leave.
The backyard of Ji Nuan’s house was not small, but for two rabbit orcs, it wasn’t so big. The two orcs managed to till the land behind the house in less than half an hour.
Then, they stepped on the large clumps of dirt to break them up, leveling the ground. Ji Nuan transplanted the poor corn seedlings that had been squished together into the ground.
With the help of the two orcs, they even took over the watering, saving Ji Nuan a lot of effort.
When Ge Ye’s trio arrived, they were surprised to find that Ji Nuan, who usually loved to sleep in, was already up. The new plants had all been planted, and they didn’t need their help at all.
Qi Mo and Little Pipi were not idle either. Seeing that there was nothing for them to help with, they returned home to get a basket, then dragged along the reluctant Ge Ye to go collect fresh wild grass by the river to feed the Giggle Beasts and the Gagabeasts.
To thank Tu Yaoyao’s family, Ji Nuan cut off a piece of honeycomb, put it in a porcelain bowl, and gave it to them as a gift.
Yaoyao and her two older brothers were all praising the sweet water from the buzzing insects and held it dearly in their arms as they ran home.
"Moo~" A deep mooing sound came from behind the house. Ji Nuan got up and took a basket. First, he went to the warehouse to get some stored feed, then headed towards the animal pen in the backyard.
Little Moumou, hearing Ji Nuan’s footsteps, was full of anticipation, his tail wagging so vigorously it seemed about to take flight.
Ji Nuan irritably patted the head of Big Moumou, who had grown up. "I told you, Moumou, if you keep eating so much, you’ll get fat, won’t other cow girls like you then?"
Little Moumou continued to eat grass in a composed manner, glancing at Ji Nuan from the corner of his eye. "Moo~" (The cow isn’t worried at all.)
After his call, he turned around and, chewing his grass, looked at Ji Nuan. "Moo~" (Look, I’m so strong and healthy, I’m not worried about not being able to find a girlfriend.)
Ji Nuan was speechless towards this cow, who was cute as a little one and lazy when he grew up.
"Tomorrow, I’ll let you out. Within the tribe’s walls, there’s a herd of Green Bull Beasts. Go see if you can find a wife," he said, then threw in another handful of grass and went to feed the Giggle Beasts and the Gagabeasts next to him.
These little ones rushed over one by one at the sight of Ji Nuan, craning their necks and pecking happily.
Ji Nuan thought of the endless supply of chicken eggs, duck eggs, and more offspring they would bring, which made him even happier.
The next day, Ji Nuan did keep his promise and let Little Moumou out, but the creature just stood at the door, looking at Ji Nuan with his round bovine eyes and refusing to move.
After a staring contest, Ji Nuan seemed to remember something. He quickly went inside the house and brought out a collar woven from beast skin and grass. He walked up and put it around Little Moumou’s neck.
Patting its head, he gave earnest advice, "Wear this, and you won’t be caught and eaten by the orcs in the tribe who mistake you for a regular Green Bull Beast. Go on, don’t come back if you can’t find a wife."
He had thought that he would see Little Moumou’s eyes welling up with tears of reluctance. But instead, Little Moumou seemed quite satisfied, rubbing his neck against the collar, then turning around and sashaying off with a swagger.
