Chapter 782 - 781, Ginger? _1
Then she turned to Ya Li: "Ya Li, try to keep your eyes open as much you can. Blink more and roll your eyes while washing them to rinse out the ginger juice that got in there."
The clear water in the jar steadily depleted as Ya Li’s eye movements got smoother.
"That’s good enough." Ji Nuan signaled for the orc to take away the jar, then turned to the soaking wet Ya Li: "How does it feel? Any better now?"
Ya Li, who was slowly turning his eyeballs, still felt a faint discomfort, but it was no longer the fiery sting from earlier.
"I feel much better now, the burning sensation is gone." The Snake Beast, who had already been fond of squinting at the creatures, looked even squintier now with gleaming red eyes.
With his red eyes and nose, Ya Li looked incredibly adorable, earning him a chuckle from Ji Nuan, "You look hilarious right now."
Realizing his eyes were okay, Ya Li relaxed a bit, glaring at Ji Nuan with those red and squinty eyes: "Is it really okay for you to take joy in my misfortune?"
Ji Nuan shrugged her shoulders with a laugh, "Definitely. You’ve achieved something big this time. Though your eyes were uncomfortable, you have discovered an important herb."
As she spoke, Ji Nuan held up and waved the ginger around.
Ya Li looked surprised at the yellow object in her hand, "This is really an herb?"
Ji Nuan nodded emphatically: "It is! And a very important one. It can help cure our fevers to a certain extent."
Cure fevers!
The orcs were ecstatic, gazing at the ginger with sparkling eyes.
Overjoyed, Ya Li immediately stood up: "Well then, what are we waiting for? The area where we found it has a massive patch. We should go and dig it up right now."
"Hold on~" Ji Nuan quickly held back the excited orcs: "This herb is unknown to the beasts, and only we know about it. Whether you dig it up or not, it will stay there. We are in no rush. We have to let Ya Li rest and recover before going."
Ya Li approached Ji Nuan: "My eyes are already fine. Here, take a look."
While saying this, Ya Li tried his hardest to keep his squinting eyes wide open.
"If you aren’t worried, do you want to drink some bitter potion right here and now?" Ji Nuan stared.
Ya Li instantly backed down, and the surrounding orcs pretended to be busy to avoid the same threat.
Ji Nuan looked at Xiu Yan with a laugh, "Brother Xiu Yan, are all of you orcs this scared of drinking bitter potions?"
What shocked Ji Nuan was that Xiu Yan, who never flinched even in the face of the Eneru Mountain collapse, visibly winced at her words: "Nightmare from our cubhood."
Ji Nuan burst into laughter. If there were an election for the most feared tribesmen among the orcs, probably eight out of ten would choose the Grandma Shaman. After all, who could forget the childhood ordeal of being fed bitter potions for being sick and naughty?
Those were truly deep-rooted traumas.
On the thought of having previously drunk the bitter potion made by Grandma Shaman, Ji Nuan could not help but twitch, it was a truly unbearable memory.
"Ya Li, you’ve done a big deed this time by finding a new herb. When we get back, we’ll reward you with a really, really big prey." The other orcs looked on enviously.
