Chapter 803 - 802: The Unappealing Orc
After a day of operating as excavators, Xiu Yan, Ya Li, and a few members of the Guard Team, their hair, bodies, and clothes were all covered in mud, looking just like mud monkeys.
After sending Ya Li and the Guard Team’s Orcs home to clean up, Xiu Yan came over with a look of grievance on his face.
He stared at Ji Nuan with puppy-dog eyes, as if he’d suffered a great injustice, "It would have been fine to let them go home to eat, why did you have to personally make food for them? It’s been such a long time since you’ve made anything tasty for me."
His tone couldn’t have been more sour, and it had been quite a while since Ji Nuan had seen Xiu Yan pouting like a cub, making her almost laugh out loud.
Looking at Xiu Yan hanging his head, standing in front of her, Ji Nuan grabbed his Beast Skin, tiptoed, and gently patted his head, "Be good, you look just like a little mud monkey right now, go and clean up, we’re going to eat in a bit."
Having said that, she turned around to start preparing the ingredients for the evening meal.
However, Xiu Yan, whose head had just been petted by his little female, expressed that although he very much enjoyed being scratched under the chin, pinching his paws, and rubbing his belly when he was a chubby cub, as a strong, tall Orc, Xiu Yan felt that being treated like a cub wasn’t actually that great, Hmph~
But seeing Ji Nuan in a good mood, busily humming and fussing over the food, a smile flickered in his eyes and he turned to head to the bathroom to clean up.
Ji Nuan looked at her ingredients and decided to make a lavish dinner.
She first cleared up the stove and steamed a large pot of Purple Fruit Rice.
The freshly harvested Purple Fruit was very fresh, and the sweet aroma of the steamed Purple Fruit Rice was incredibly tempting.
Ji Nuan sneakily peeked at the doorway, cheekily scooped up some Purple Fruit Rice with a small spoon, and popped it into her mouth; the sweet, sticky, aromatic softness of the Purple Fruit Rice made her eyes narrow in enjoyment.
After chewing and swallowing the Purple Fruit Rice in her mouth, Ji Nuan whimsically shook her head, "It’s so delicious. Could it be because the person cooking is too outstanding? Ohoho~"
After a bit of self-flattery, Ji Nuan prepared two fish, ugly in appearance but with delicious flesh, and put them into the pot.
She first poured a little Beast Oil into the hot pan and sprinkled some salt on the sides of the pan, then put the two fish down.
In her past life, when she watched shows, many skilled housewives cooked this way because sprinkling salt on the sides of the pan prevents the fish skin from breaking.
After frying the fish till both sides were golden brown, she carefully lifted them out. Then, she put wax fruit and some spices into the pan, put the fried fish back in, and added water to start simmering.
Next, she stir-fried three Giggle Beasts, and the tempting fragrance floated about, wafting as if with little hooks all the way to the bathroom.
As Xiu Yan, who was putting on his Beast Skin, felt a sudden pause in his movements, his sexy Adam’s apple involuntarily rolled up and down a few times. It had been such a long time since he had eaten a meal made by Nuannuan; he missed it terribly.
But thinking of sharing such delicious food with the other Orcs, Xiu Yan suddenly felt his entire being couldn’t take it and became even more displeased with the other Orcs who hadn’t yet arrived.
Meanwhile, the few Orcs humming and washing themselves in their bathroom suddenly felt a chill down their backs, causing them to turn and scrutinize their surroundings. Could it be the bathroom door wasn’t closed properly? Why did it suddenly feel so cold and drafty?
