Chapter 380 - 379: Catching Bugs for You to Eat_1
Ji Nuan took her time to comfort the demanding little cub, whose intellect seemed to have regressed to the stage of a young cub after his body had shrunk.
Once again, she handed over the chubby little lion cub to Ge Xing. As she watched their group of Orcs depart, she let out a huge sigh of relief. Oh, god, she finally got rid of these two rambunctious fellows.
Ji Nuan cheerfully hummed a merry tune, bouncing and skipping towards the tribe.
Meanwhile, the little cub, who had just run back because he was reluctant to leave Ji Nuan, was sadly squatting in the corner at the entrance of the city, crying secretly. Little female cub, are you serious with that expression of shooing away your own naughty kid?
You don’t love Orcs anymore! Hmph~
A big hand lifted him by the loose flesh at the back of his neck: "Don’t look anymore. Isn’t it just a few days before we return? Why are you so reluctant to leave?"
The little lion cub hung his plump limbs and clawed paws. His little furry face was gloomy, and he let Ge Xing swing him around. The lax paws were also swinging unconsciously, which looked extremely funny.
Ge Xing struggled to hold back his laughter, carrying the fat cub as he chased after the group ahead.
After Ji Nuan got home, she went to the backyard to check on her corn. They were already taller than she was in her beast form. The thick stalks were as thick as her thighs, and the immature corn cobs were the size of her forearms, like an enlarged version of the corn she had seen in China.
This made Ji Nuan very happy.
She squat down to pull out weeds from the field and after doubting for a while, Ji Nuan still went to break off a corn cob: "Hmm, let’s see if it tastes the same as before."
She stripped the husk from the corn, picked off a handful of kernels, walked to the Giggle Beast pen, grabbed a Giggle Beast, put it in the pen with little Moumou, and threw the corn in: "Here you go, try it out. If everything’s fine, I’ll catch lots of fat little bugs for your meal tomorrow."
The Giggle Beast ignored Ji Nuan’s chattering. Seeing the food, it immediately lowered its head to peck at it, while chirping at Ji Nuan: "Giggle giggle~"
Ji Nuan laughed: "Isn’t it nice to have good food?"
The translation here should be: Giggle Beast wanted to say: "Give me more! It’s not enough for me."
(Does a Giggle Beast even have gaps between its teeth? How highly it thinks of itself.)
...
"Uncle Clan Leader, how do we stay so long in their tribe this time?" Lei Er, following behind Ge Xing, asked confusedly.
Ge Xing patted his own chest: "Of course, it’s all thanks to the medicine Ji Nuan gave us~"
Lei Er’s eyes brightened: "The medicine for the bug disease?"
Ge Xing chuckled: "No, it’s not. We would just say that we are there to exchange some unusual plants or something with the medicine that treats bug diseases. That way, we can stay there for a while."
Lei Er looked at Ge Xing with a face full of admiration: "You’re so clever."
The cub in his arms rolled his eyes: "If it wasn’t for the medicine little female cub prepared, they wouldn’t even bother with you, hmph~"
The group of Orcs arrived at the Dashi tribe’s location just in time for dinner. The patrol Orcs were very familiar with them. Seeing the Orcs from the Watson Tribe, they even greeted them, "Lei Er, you guys are here again!"
Lei Er walked over with a hearty laugh, patted the Orc on the shoulder: "We came for a good reason this time."
