Chapter 546 - 545, Treatment_1
Ji Nuan smiled warmly at the anxious orc beside her. "Don’t worry, it’s alright now. His injuries have been treated. A bone in his leg was damaged and he mustn’t move in the next few days, otherwise the bone might heal improperly. I’ll check on his wounds in a couple of days and he can start to move a bit once they improve."
The gray-haired orc lay palely on the beast skin, gratitude written all over his face. "Thank you, Shaman Ji Nuan. I thought I would never be able to stand again."
The orc standing beside them expressed his gratitude by nodding his head, occasionally looking back at the gray-haired orc lying on the beast skin.
Observing his behavior, Ji Nuan chuckled, "Look how worried you are. Rest assured, there will be no complications as long as he stays still these few days."
The orc wiped off the sweat from his forehead and nodded. After seeing Ji Nuan and the beasts off, he fell almost lifelessly onto the beast skin cushion beside him.
The gray-haired orc eyed him critically, "If it hadn’t been for me saving you from the fierce beast, you’d probably have ended up like that orc yesterday, meeting Lord Beast God. Let’s not forget the promise you made to Nana."
The orc nodded, "I know. I will not forget the promise I made to Mo Na."
"My father, of course, won’t forget, because Mo Na’s goal is the same as mine. Even if my father won’t do it, as long as you need something, you can call on me as well." A female voice laced with an undertone of darkness echoed from the tent’s entrance as a strong and beautiful female came in. In her hands, she held a large leaf bearing fresh fruit and aromatic roasted meat.
She leisurely knelt beside the gray-haired orc and placed the leaf with food beside him, her voice softening into a gentle laugh, "Shaman Ji Nuan has been quite the nuisance, hasn’t she? If you need something, just tell me. I am willing to help, as long as it can..."
Her eyes filled with ruthlessness.
The gray-haired orc appreciated the sight of the female, then laughed disdainfully at the orc sitting with his head down, "Your daughter is far stronger than you, her father."
In his hiding place, the orc’s hand clenched into a fist on his knee under the protective cover of the beast skin.
Meanwhile, outside the tent, Ji Nuan was scooped up by Xiu Yan who took her back to their tent. He delicately washed her pale little hands once again.
Ji Nuan looked puzzled, "I already washed them there just now."
Xiu Yan cleaned her hands with a piece of clean beast skin, before placing a ripe red fruit in her hand. He ruffled her hair, "The gray-haired orc is a Scorpion Orc."
A Scorpion Orc?
While nibbling at the sweet fruit, a sudden realization made Ji Nuan grab Xiu Yan’s arm, the half-eaten fruit dropping from her mouth, "You mean the Scorpion Orc that’s entirely poisonous?"
Xiu Yan nodded, tapping her head with his long, slim finger, "Did you give back all the knowledge you learned in Cub Cave to the grandmas? The gray hair is the Scorpion Orc’s sign. Have you forgotten?"
Ji Nuan pouted, "I barely had enough to eat back then, how could I have the energy to remember stuff like this."
God, today she’d treated a Scorpion Orc without realising.
She gave a sidelong glance at the nonchalant Xiu Yan, "Why didn’t you tell me when I was heading over there?"
Xiu Yan arched an eyebrow, "If I had told you, would you have gone?"
Ji Nuan straightened her neck, raising her voice in response, "Of course, I would..."
Wait, she wouldn’t...
Faced with Xiu Yan’s ’go on, keep talking’ expression, Ji Nuan’s energy wilted, "Well, just because he’s a Scorpion Orc doesn’t mean we can’t help him..."
