Chapter 808 - 807: Giggle Beast Congee
On this day, Ji Nuan visited Grandma Shaman’s residence, carrying a pot of Giggle Beast meat porridge, Grandma Shaman’s favorite.
Grandma Shaman was in her yard, sorting herbs. When she saw Ji Nuan coming in from outside, her kindly old face instantly blossomed into a chrysanthemum-like smile: "Little Ji Nuan has come."
Seeing the kind Grandma Shaman, Ji Nuan’s eyes were full of laughter. She lifted the segmented tree pot and smiled, "I made some Giggle Beast meat porridge, thinking you’d love it, so I brought some over for you."
Hearing about the Giggle Beast meat porridge, the kind Grandma Shaman immediately smiled even more broadly.
She stood up with the help of her walking stick and, taking Ji Nuan’s hand, headed towards the kitchen: "I was just getting hungry. The fragrant scent of hot Giggle Beast meat porridge is best enjoyed warm."
Leading Ji Nuan into her own kitchen, Grandma Shaman took out two porcelain bowls, washed them with water, and set them on the wooden table.
Ji Nuan opened the segmented tree pot and poured some Giggle Beast meat porridge into the bowl in front of Grandma Shaman, then sealed the pot again.
Grandma Shaman looked at her disapprovingly: "Aren’t you going to eat some? Serve yourself too."
Ji Nuan smiled, "This is for you. I just had some at home, and my tummy is so full I couldn’t possibly eat another bite."
As she spoke, she even patted her slightly round belly.
Seeing her playful manner, Grandma Shaman chuckled affectionately and, not insisting further, picked up the bowl and savored a mouthful. The sweet, soft, and chewy porridge, with its underlying flavor of Giggle Beast meat, made Grandma Shaman close her eyes in enjoyment.
After sipping, she put down the bowl, looked at Ji Nuan beside her with a smile, and said, "In a few days, it will be your coming of age ceremony. Didn’t you say you wanted to invite Monte Tribe, Dashi Tribe, and Gray Bear Tribe to attend? Are you planning on having orcs send out the invitations?"
Ji Nuan laughed, "I’ve already sent orcs to the Monte Tribe. As for the Dashi Tribe and Gray Bear Tribe, we just need to notify them two days before the ceremony."
Grandma Shaman looked at her and exclaimed, "I never thought that the small, skinny cub from those days would now be coming of age. Have you and Xiu Yan decided when to become companions?"
Ji Nuan laughed unabashedly, "We’ll have the Companion Bonding Ceremony after the coming of age ritual."
Hearing this, Grandma Shaman was full of joy, "That’s wonderful! After so many years together, you and Xiu Yan can finally become companions. Have a chubby Little Silver Wolf cub soon."
Ji Nuan was flustered at her words, thinking she wanted to enjoy a blissful life in the Beast World for a few more years before having cubs.
After watching Grandma Shaman finish her Giggle Beast meat porridge, Ji Nuan took her leave.
Returning home, Ji Nuan had barely settled down to enjoy a piece of fruit to quench her thirst when she was startled by the anxious cries of an orc at the gate.
"Shaman, there’s been an emergency. A little female is sick—her whole body is covered in red bumps and she keeps running a fever."
Ji Nuan was alarmed. The young females of the Beast World were quite frail, especially those under ten years old, who could easily perish. Even minor illnesses made orc fathers and mothers incredibly anxious.
Where could Ji Nuan care about eating fruit now? She quickly said in an anxious voice, "I’ll go take a look right now."
After saying this, she went inside to grab her small healing basket and hurriedly followed the orc to the sick little female’s home.
