Chapter 804 - 803: Completion
The orcs from Ya Li and the Guard Team, after cleaning themselves up, donned their clean beast skin clothes and scurried over to Ji Nuan’s home.
At this time, Xiu Yan had a grim expression on his face as he set the food on the table, looking sourly at the beaming orcs walking in from outside.
Today’s food was exceptionally lavish, with the table laden with flavorful and aromatic dishes that almost had the orcs’ drool converging into a waterfall.
Ji Nuan took out the largest porcelain bowl in the house and served each orc a generous bowl of purple fruit rice, then smiled and said, "You all really worked hard today, give these a try, I’ve never made them before."
At her words, the orcs couldn’t bother with politeness anymore; they reached out with their chopsticks and heartily dove into the meal.
The savory fried dishes mixed with the sweet, sticky purple fruit rice, chewed and savored in their mouths, brought about an indescribably satisfying taste. And so the meal ended amidst such jubilant cheer.
Since the members of the Guard Team had to continue their patrol shifts, they left immediately after eating.
Ya Li, Xiu Yan, and Ji Nuan sat at the table, sipping water and chatting together.
Ya Li looked at Ji Nuan, "Shaman, the houses for the new members of the tribe will be finished by tomorrow. Should we let them move into the new houses directly?"
Ji Nuan shook her head, "The new members aren’t very familiar with us yet, so I plan to mix them with the existing members of the tribe to live.
If we let them live as they wish, it could lead to cliques, which is not conducive to the tribe’s harmony."
Xiu Yan nodded, "As for the Crocodile Orc..."
Ya Li hurriedly interrupted, "The Crocodile Orc can live next to me."
Ji Nuan nodded, "That’s fine, but be mindful of Mian Mian’s safety."
Speaking of Mian Mian, Ya Li instantly wore a gloomy expression. The father of Mian Mian meant that his little daughter had just recently come of age and wished to stay at home a little longer, and the matter of him and Mian Mian becoming mates would be postponed until after next year’s rainy season. The poor Ya Li would have to endure another cold season and a rainy season before he could possess his own tender and sweet little female.
After casual chatter for a while, Ya Li excused himself and left.
Ji Nuan indulged in a comfortable hot bath in the bathroom, allowing Xiu Yan to dry her long hair, before she wobbled cozily onto the kang bed.
She curled up comfortably in her little quilt and closed her eyes.
The afternoon meal had passed the next day when cheers erupted from the site of the house construction.
The new members of the tribe, seeing their brand-new houses, could not contain their happiness. These were the homes they had built with their own hands, and they would be able to move in before the winter, a truly blissful occasion.
Even some orcs doubted the sturdiness of these houses, taking a chance when others weren’t looking to slam forcefully against the walls of the houses and courtyards.
But even though their arms throbbed with pain from the impact, the walls of the houses and the surrounding fences remained steadfastly unshaken.
The orcs who had covertly observed this silly display burst into hearty laughter immediately, leaving the embarrassed orc with a flushed face, chuckling and eyes alight with excitement.
He had truly not expected that a house built of mere bricks could be as solid as a cave.
In the evening, the entire Watson Tribe gathered in the Tribal Square to hold a celebration barbecue in honor of the completed house construction.
The orcs and females laughed heartily, creating an exceptionally lively and cheerful atmosphere.
After their fill of food and drink, Ge Xing stepped into the middle of the open space, and at the sight, all the orcs fell silent, turning their attention to Ge Xing.
