Leisurely Farm Life in Beast World

Upon hearing Ji Nuan’s words, Chief Meng Zhuo seemed somewhat overwhelmed, turning to her, "If Shaman Ji Nuan says so, I’m even more curious now."

"In a little while, it will be Shaman Ji Nuan’s adulthood ceremony." Ya Li grinned, holding a large beast leg and gnawing at it enthusiastically.

"Shaman Ji Nuan’s adulthood ceremony!" exclaimed Chief Meng Zhuo, looking at Ji Nuan. "You didn’t tell me because you don’t want me to attend, is that it?"

After glaring at Ya Li, Ji Nuan replied, "That’s not it, I planned to invite Chief Meng Zhuo, but given the current crisis in the Monte Tribe and the need to gather food for the winter, these matters seemed of utmost importance."

Meng Zhuo shook his head, "The adulthood ceremony is the most important event in the life of a female orc. Considering how many times you’ve helped the Monte Tribe, how could we refuse to attend?"

"Well, in that case, you’ll have the opportunity to meet all the tribes in the Eneru Forest." Ya Li stated proudly.

"Impressive Shaman Ji Nuan, all the tribes of the Eneru Forest are coming to celebrate your adulthood ceremony?"

Before Ji Nuan could respond, Ya Li interjected, "There are only two tribes left in the whole Eneru Forest now, so of course, you’ll be able to meet all the clan leaders and tribe members."

These words genuinely shocked Chief Meng Zhuo, "I remember that although there were not many large tribes in the Eneru Forest, there were several smaller tribes. How come there are only two tribes left now?"

He was filled with bewilderment.

Just as Ya Li opened his mouth to explain, a large bone was shoved into it. The cold voice carried an implicit warning, "Can’t you keep your mouth shut even when you’re eating?"

Visibly irritated, Ya Li glared at the icy Xiu Yan, grumpily removed the bone from his mouth, picked up his piece of beast leg, and moved to another heap of fire.

"Nuannuan, it’s ready. Have a taste."

Xiu Yan tore off a piece of well-roasted beast meat and handed it to Ji Nuan, "Be careful, it’s still hot."

Ji Nuan swallowed her saliva, accepted the piece of meat and took a small bite after cooling it down. The meat was incredibly savory; it had been fully cooked yet remained tender, leaving a faintly sweet aftertaste. It was delicious.

Seeing Ji Nuan squint her eyes in enjoyment, Xiu Yan anchored the skewered piece of meat into the ground, took a broad, clean leaf, and started to tear the meat into smaller chunks and place them on the leaf.

While the two were leisurely devouring the delicious beast meat, Chief Meng Zhuo eyed them with longing and anxiety.

Ya Li had stopped speaking just when he was about to divulge something critical.

Chief Meng Zhuo watched Ji Nuan with hopeful eyes, "Shaman Ji Nuan, is that piece of game meat delicious?"

Ji Nuan grinned and nodded, "It’s exceptionally delicious - so aromatic and tender."

Chief Meng Zhuo rubbed his hands, "Given the great relationship between our two tribes, could you share with me what Ya Li was about to say?"

Ji Nuan looked at Chief Meng Zhuo, "It’s not that I can’t tell you. It’s just that it concerns our own Eneru Forest. Whether you know about it or not does not affect you."

Meng Zhuo exhaled, "Then, tell me about it. Ya Li only told me half of it earlier. It’s putting me on edge."

Seeing his anxious demeanor, Ji Nuan decided not to play with his curiosity any longer. Smilingly, she revealed, "Just a few days before we arrived at the Monte Tribe, the smaller tribes in the Eneru Forest jointly approached our tribe, asking to join the Watson Tribe as orcs. Life in the smaller tribes is tough, so I agreed."
