Chapter 528 - 527, Shaman_1
The orcs’ cries of astonishment were full of ecstasy. They had no time to worry about Meng Tai and his beasts who had barely returned to the tribe after overcoming numerous difficulties. The orcs swarmed over to Ji Nuan and his party, chirping away in greeting.
"Shaman Ji Nuan, what brings you here?"
"Indeed, that Meng Tai. Why did he have to trouble you?"
"You are as beautiful as ever, just like on Beast God Mountain."
Seeing the enthusiasm of the orcs, a smile emerged on Ji Nuan’s face: "It’s been a while, but you all seem as robust as ever. You haven’t been injured, have you?"
Seeing Ji Nuan showing concern, the orcs beamed, stretching their arms and legs as if to show off: "Don’t worry, we’re all right. We’re very tough, hehe!"
The White Tiger Orc was somewhat confused and nudged Meng Tai: "I don’t recognise those three beasts. What kind of beasts are they? Why are the tribe so enthusiastic about that female?"
Seeing the curiosity on his friend’s face, Meng Tai clapped him on the shoulder and said: "You call this enthusiastic? Wait until the Winged Orcs in the tribe see her. Then you’ll understand what true enthusiasm means."
The White Tiger Orc seemed to realise something, his eyes wide and mouth agape as he pointed at the petite Ji Nuan: "Don’t tell me this is that amazing female shaman you were talking about."
Meng Tai glanced at him with a smirk and asked, "What do you think?"
"Oh my God, I always thought you were exaggerating when you said the female shaman was a good-looking female, but it turns out to be true? She’s so tiny, is she even an adult?"
The White Tiger Orc rambled, making Meng Tai quickly wave his hand to interrupt him: "Enough, enough. I’m taking Shaman Ji Nuan to see my father. Shaman Ji Nuan escorted me back this time so might stay in the tribe for a while."
And with that, he stepped towards the beasts that were surrounded by the orcs and said, "All right, everyone go do your own thing for now. I’m taking Shaman Ji Nuan to meet the Clan Leader. We’ll all eat together at dinner."
Meng Tai held much authority among his tribe. After bidding Ji Nuan farewell, the orcs followed the White Tiger Orc and ran off into the forest.
Meng Tai turned to Ji Nuan with a smile and said, "They’re just too excited to see you, don’t mind them."
Ji Nuan shook her head: "They’re a bunch of lovely orcs, how could I be bothered. Let’s go, aren’t we going to see Chief Meng Zhuo? It’s been a while."
Meng Tai nodded and led the way. The other two beasts ran off as soon as they entered the tribal grounds, presumably to visit their families.
Chief Meng Zhuo’s tent sat on a slightly higher hill in the centre of the tribe. It was a large tent, with the beast skin curtains drawn back and orcs coming and going from within.
"It seems the tribal chiefs from the surrounding smaller tribes are here." Meng Tai observed the orcs coming in and out and turned to Ji Nuan.
"Leaders of small tribes?" Ji Nuan looked at the sea of heads inside the tent, quietly astounded: There are so many of them.
Meng Tai nodded: "With the disaster just past, they’re probably here to request treatment for the injured in their tribes."
Hearing this for the first time, Ji Nuan looked at Meng Tai in surprise: "Don’t they have their own shamans?"
