Chapter 489 - 488, Bustle_1
Thinking about how tired Nuannuan was from concocting potions for these orcs, Xiu Yan didn’t look too pleased. With a sour expression on his face, he said, "Rest."
Having said that, he turned around and walked directly into the tent.
With only Mu Chun and two orcs behind him left, they had no choice but to head towards their camp.
It was only after the orcs in the tribe had finished their lunch that Ji Nuan opened his eyes, still in a daze. A beam of sunlight seeped through the gap in the tent curtain and shone on the wooden floor inside the tent, as seen from his perspective, the sunlight seemed filled with tiny, dancing specks of dust.
The footsteps of the orcs outside the tent and the bustling noise from the distant trading district created a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.
He stretched lazily and sat up on the bed, "What time is it now?"
Xiu Yan had already prepared clean water in a porcelain basin near the entrance of the tent, Ji Nuan washed and then stepped outside after lifting the curtain.
"Awake?" A cold voice rang in his ears. Ji Nuan turned his head to look, Xiu Yan was sitting on a large rock beside the tent, dealing with several freshly hunted Snow Beasts. Under the sunlight, their white fur looked extremely beautiful.
Putting the bloody fur into the basket beside him, Xiu Yan caught her fondness in his eyes, and the corners of his lips hooked slightly, "There’s a lot of Snow Beast fur. When we return to the tribe, it will be enough for you to make several garments."
Ji Nuan looked at him with a smile, "Save a few for Aunt Ge Rou."
Xiu Yan raised his eyebrows, "I have, they’re in another basket."
As they were talking, there suddenly came a burst of cheers from a distance. Ji Nuan stood on tiptoes to look, but her view was blocked by the tents, "What’s happening? It’s quite lively."
Xiu Yan sped up skinning the beasts, "Wait for me a while, I’ll finish processing this Snow Beast and then take you to have a look."
Xiu Yan knew her passion for excitement all too well, he still remembered when she snuck out to enjoy the liveliness at their original tribe, and was nearly caught by Mo Qi.
With this thought, he hastened his pace.
Eventually, following the cheering crowd, they arrived at the Monte Tribe’s camp. There were many orcs from unfamiliar tribes gathered, all eagerly watching the challenge taking place in the small open space in front of the camp, their blood boiling with excitement.
The orcs from the Watson Tribe were actually there as well.
Seeing Ji Nuan come over, Chief Ge Xing chuckled and waved, "Come here, you can see clearly from this side."
With Xiu Yan protecting her, Ji Nuan squeezed through to the frontmost part, the field was in fact a battleground where two orcs were fighting.
Ji Nuan asked surprisedly, "Didn’t the competition end already? What’s this about?"
Ge Xing laughed, "Chief Meng Zhuo is organizing this competition in the tribe, the winning orc gets the Divine Fruit."
Ji Nuan pondered in her heart, this competition was definitely orchestrated due to what she said yesterday about the Gru Tribe intending to grab the Divine Fruit, otherwise, the decision of the fruit’s ownership would have probably waited until they returned to the tribe.
"Meng Tai’s victorious!" The cheers of the orcs rang out.
Ge Xing smacked his lips, "This Meng Tai kid has a lot of prestige in the tribe."
Ji Nuan nodded, "On one hand, it’s because of his substantial strength, and on the other, it’s likely because he often helps Chief Meng Zhuo handle some tribe affairs, shaping his leadership skills."
"Meng Tai is a very leader-like orc," Ge Xing exclaimed with admiration in his eyes.
