Chapter 857 - 856: Coming of Age Ceremony for the Priest
She styled her hair into an elegant princess updo and used some leftover red beast skin to make simple little flowers, fixing them in her hair with delicate beast bone pins in the style of ancient hair sticks.
The monotony of her hair became exquisite in an instant.
"Nuannuan," the orc’s deep and magnetic voice sounded from outside the door.
Ji Nuan’s eyes lit up, "Come in."
The beast skin curtain on the door was lifted, and the orc’s towering figure stepped into the room.
Today, Xiu Yan had his silver hair tied up high, the sleek strands flitting about as he moved, revealing his resolute and stern face.
He was wearing the black beast skin clothes Ji Nuan had sewn for him, making his presence even colder.
Looking at the little female in red, a fiery look sparked in Xiu Yan’s eyes, dissipating some of the coldness that enveloped him.
The smile at the corners of his mouth was very evident, a clear indication to any beast that his mood was exceptionally good.
His long legs took just a few strides to reach Ji Nuan’s side, "Let’s go, the priest is almost ready for the ceremony, we should head over."
With that, his hand with distinct knuckles unfolded before Ji Nuan.
For some reason, Ji Nuan, who had been in the mood to tease Ge Ye about his little golden pig appearance just moments ago, suddenly felt nervous.
Her little face blushing, she reached out and placed her hand on Xiu Yan’s broad palm.
Her fair and delicate hand was not even two-thirds the size of the orc’s.
Xiu Yan chuckled softly, bent down, and picked Ji Nuan up.
The sudden sensation of being airborne made Ji Nuan instinctively cry out softly, but then she was securely held as the orc walked outside.
The yard was full of tribespeople from the Watson Tribe, who cheered when Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan appeared.
The little cubs joyfully darted around Xiu Yan, having completely forgotten about the small flowers they were forced to wear by their mothers earlier that morning and which had subsequently been shed.
Several soft and doughy little female cubs held hands and walked in front of Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan, heading towards the Tribal Square.
This was the best blessing from the tribe, hoping Xiu Yan and Ji Nuan would have lovely little female cubs.
As for the little orcs with flowers in their hair, gleefully weaving through the feet of the tribespeople...
Well, it’s up to fate!
Orcs from other tribes were already seated at tables, guided by the Watson Tribe, scratching their heads and peering eagerly towards the bustling noise, their eyes almost bulging out of their sockets.
"Shaman Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan are coming!"
The orcs in the square stood up in unison, craning their necks to look towards the surge of beastly shadows.
The tall orc cradling the petite female created a picture that was simply too beautiful.
Not to mention the high attractiveness of the two, which also garnered envious stares from the surrounding females and orcs.
The orcs let out a thunderous cheer.
"How did such an icy-faced leader win Shaman Ji Nuan’s favor?" the members of Xiu Yan’s Hunting Team wondered in unison, shaking their heads at the perplexing question.
"If you guys had the captain’s strength, and most importantly, his good looks, would you still worry about no female fancying you?"
Brother, that’s a blow to the heart!
Regardless of the orcs’ envy and jealousy below, Xiu Yan directly carried Ji Nuan up to the ritual altar.
At the very top stood Grandma Shaman, dressed solemnly, the kindly old shaman leaning on her staff, her gaze filled with blessings for Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan.
