Chapter 571 - 570, Truth_1
The Orc glared at the female, cursing in his heart: A deceitful female like a Scorpion Beast, trying to trick Shaman Ji Nuan’s sympathy, not as long as I’m here!
"She harmed me?" Ji Nuan pointed to the distressed female and then to herself, utterly dumbfounded.
The Orc nodded earnestly, "Isn’t she? This female has been planning to become Meng Tai’s mate all along. Seeing that the Clan Leader and Meng Tai treat you so well, she thinks you are in her way. She has been looking for beasts to kill you. The idea of revealing your whereabouts to the Serra Tribe was hers, too."
What the heck!
Ji Nuan gaped at the female, taking a few steps closer to inspect her face. However, it was too dirty to discern anything.
She felt annoyed. She didn’t even know what this female looked like and yet, she wanted her dead for such a ridiculous reason. Luckily, she was still unscathed.
Giving her a sidelong glance, Ji Nuan hummed, "You want me dead? Well, I’ll make sure you won’t have it easy."
Turning to the Orc beside her: "Has your Clan Leader decided how to deal with them yet?"
The Orc nodded, "They are the chief and his cub from a small tribe that pledged allegiance to our Monte Tribe. The Clan Leader said that we are to sever ties with them starting today. The Orc will be killed, and the female banished."
Exile?
Ji Nuan curled her lips, she wouldn’t be caught doing something so foolish such as letting a tiger return to the mountains again, "Let me deal with this female. We can take her along when we set off."
The Orc scratched his head, "I’ll have to talk to the Clan Leader about this. Otherwise, he’ll scold me again."
His voice carried a hint of grievance.
In the face of such a cute Orc, Ji Nuan didn’t have the heart to trouble him. She nodded, "Alright, then go ask Chief Meng Zhuo."
"What are you asking me, Shaman Ji Nuan?" As soon as Ji Nuan spoke, Meng Zhuo’s voice rang out from behind her.
Ji Nuan turned around to see both Meng Zhuo and Meng Tai.
Pointing to the female tied to a stake: "I mean this female who wanted to harm me, I should be the one to deal with her."
Meng Zhuo hesitated for a moment before he nodded decisively under the frightened gaze of the female: "Of course, there’s no problem. How could we refuse such a small request?"
Then he laughed, "Let’s go, Shaman Ji Nuan. The last meal before we leave, Brother Xiu Yan has personally roasted. I’ve been salivating for a long time."
Ji Nuan laughed heartily, "That’s right, the meat roasted by Brother Xiu Yan is simply amazing."
She glanced back at the female and the Orc, whose eyes were filled with hatred. She nonchalantly said, "I once made a mistake, by letting a female who bore enmity against me go and exiled her. But when winter came, she led the Hyena Tribe’s Orcs to attack and seize our tribe."
Meng Zhuo was taken aback, "This exiled female survived?"
Ji Nuan cast a meaningful glance at him, "Chief Meng Zhuo, never underestimate any beast that bears enmity towards you. Some beasts, for survival, hatred, and ambition, will do anything."
With that, her gaze lingered on the two beasts tied to the stake.
Understanding struck Meng Zhuo, and his eyes darkened as he grasped Ji Nuan’s implication.
After breakfast, Ji Nuan and her beasts climbed onto the back of the giant Silver Wolf. The female was still bound to the stake, her body caught by Ya Li’s tail, and slowly lifted into the sky.
