Leisurely Farm Life in Beast World

Ji Nuan was inwardly cursing, Bertel was spouting nonsense, and his skill at twisting the truth was truly off the charts.

"You can ask your clan leader about the specifics, I don’t have anything else to say." Ji Nuan, not being a tame beast herself, was ready to leave with Xiu Yan.

Perhaps it was the first time the Divine Wood Tree encountered a beast that isn’t polite, he seemed stunned and in disbelief.

Seeing that Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan were about to leave, Bertel quickly tugged at the tree-person’s clothes: "They’re getting away."

Finally, breaking out of his daze, a visible anger spread across the tree-person’s face: "Stop right there!"

With that, he strode up to Ji Nuan and the others, radiating anger: "Hand over the medicine that treats insect disease, or you won’t get anything from this trade."

Ji Nuan turned to the tree-person, who was so haughty that it made her feel slightly irritated: "I advise you to keep your distance and not provoke me."

The tree-person sneered, bursting with complacency: "There are no orcs here that we, the Divine Wood Tree people, dare not provoke. You orc clans came to our Beast God Mountain just to exchange for our leaves and precious Beast God Fruit, right?

If you don’t give me this medicine, then I will make sure your tribe gets nothing from this trade."

Ji Nuan smirked: "I don’t think you have the authority to do that."

She had been to the clan leader’s tree house twice and had not seen this tree-person, indicating that he was not of high status among his kind.

The tree-person’s face stiffened and he retorted in a fit of pique: "Fine! Just you wait and see."

With that, he stormed off, sleeve flapping behind him.

Bertel, taking pleasure in their plight, stood to one side: "What a pity. You’ve offended a member of the Divine Wood Tree Clan so just consider this trade as a learning experience."

Saying this, he walked off towards the tribe’s settlement, laughing heartily.

Ji Nuan turned back to look at the retreating tree-person: "Who was that?"

Mu Chun’s face turned black with anger: "Just a brat who’s not even a hundred years old yet. He’s still a sapling and yet he’s learning to show off. I’ll teach him a lesson when I get back."

A hundred-year-old...brat...

Ji Nuan curiously asked: "How old are your Tree People when they mature?"

Mu Chun looked puzzled at her question: "We reach maturity at 500!"

So...they reach maturity...

years old! Turns out their lifespan doesn’t even come close to the maturity age of the tree people. That’s a sobering thought.

Mu Chun chuckled and patted her shoulder: "When you get back, Shaman Ji Nuan, have your clan leaders and the elders eat the Beast God Fruit they gave you. Each fruit can give the orcs an extra fifty years of life."

Ji Nuan was startled: "I thought it was said that they only allowed orcs to evolve?"

Mu Chun shook his head: "The Beast God Fruit we trade every year are mature fruits. For us, the Divine Tree Clan, mature fruits can’t grow new tree people, so they don’t have the ability to extend life."

Ji Nuan rolled her eyes: "So are you saying that the Beast God Fruit I ate is a little tree person?"

Mu Chun’s eyes brimmed with laughter: "There are male and female trees amongst us tree people. Only when a fruit from both a male and female tree is cultivated together, can a new tree person be born."

Ji Nuan rubbed her head, smiling awkwardly. She never realised that the reproduction of the Divine Wood Tree Clan was so fascinating. She had assumed that the mature Beast God Fruits would just turn into little tree people. The Beast World Continent was so mysterious!
