Chapter 410 - 409, Single No More_1
After feeding the two female Giggle Beasts and Gagabeasts, Ji Nuan played with the small cub at Ge Ye’s house for a while. Only then did she say goodbye to the yawning Ge Ye mother and son and headed home.
In the yard, Xiu Yan was spreading full yellow fruits out on the wooden board to dry in the sun. When Ji Nuan came in, she was nearly blinded by the fields of gold. She looked at the busy Beast God and asked, "Brother Xiu Yan, did you do all this?"
Xiu Yan stood up and nodded, "Didn’t you say that this corn still contains moisture and can’t be stored?"
Ji Nuan laughed and said, "Actually, it’s enough to tie these up and hang them under the eaves to dry in the sun. This is too much work."
Xiu Yan raised his brows, "I am strong."
Ji Nuan: "..." You’re strong, how impressive.
In the end, the two of them worked together to string all the corn together and hang it under the eaves. Ji Nuan giggled, "It’s starting to look like a quaint farmyard."
Xiu Yan turned his head, "What kind of yard?"
Ji Nuan laughed and said, "Our little yard."
Xiu Yan’s mouth curved up into a gentle smile, and he replied, "Our home."
...
In the days that followed, Xiu Yan continued to take the Orcs out for hunting and to the Dashi Tribe to exchange iron ore, which was then turned into iron tools.
Meanwhile, Ji Nuan dedicated herself to researching a medicinal powder that could cure the parasitic disease of the Divine Wood Tree people.
She specifically asked the old uncle to make several porcelain jars for her to store different kinds of poisonous fruits and herbs derived from poisonous plants.
After many experiments, she found that although the dried herbs and fruit also contained toxins, they were not as potent as the Poison Herb Juice she extracted immediately after grinding up the poisonous plants.
She prepared quantities of both the dried toxic powder and the Poison Herb Juice. Since the poison had no effect on the Divine Wood Tree people, it might be possible to use the poison to kill the parasites in their bodies.
She refused to believe that there was no effective poison.
As time passed, Xiu Yan led the Hunting Team once again to the place where they found corn, bringing back lots of dried corn.
The Orcs planted these corn seeds again, which now had grown to waist height. Mo Qi, who took care of the cornfield every day, made the corn grow exceptionally well.
For his efforts, he even won the favor of a female and successfully mated after two weeks.
Mother Ya Li, who had been anxious, nearly popped her eyes out of their sockets – even this simple-minded Orc had mated...
She looked down at the kitten in her arms that was still chowing down, her face full of resentment. Was this what Ji Nuan called the rise of the newcomers?
A month passed, and the Watson Tribe eventually welcomed the Orcs sent by Meng Tai.
The grand trade fair would begin in half a month, and they had to start their journey to Beast God Mountain in three days.
With the departure of the Orcs, the Watson Tribe suddenly became lively, the Orcs eager and excited to attend this grand trade meeting.
However, Chief Ge Xing announced a cruel decision – only twenty Orcs could accompany them.
In the end, the Orcs engaged in a fierce competition.
Eventually, even the triumphant Ge Tai and Lei Yun were left behind.
The team consisting of Ge Xing, Ji Nuan, Xiu Yan, Ya Li, Lei Er, Fu Yi, Bosson, and Norwe embarked on their journey the next day.
In the different Mountain Forests, various other tribes were also gathering and heading towards the Beast God Mountain.
