Chapter 880 - 879: Searching for Dubi
Kaka scratched his head. "Actually, I’ve already left the Armored Crocodile Tribe. I came out this time to look for Dubi. I didn’t expect to be so lucky as to encounter you and your tribespeople."
Ji Nuan stood up and smiled at the tall orc. "Brave orc Kaka, would you like to join the Watson Tribe and swear by the God you worship, to become a member of the Watson Tribe?"
Kaka and Dubi were stunned; they hadn’t expected that just mentioning the seaside and the Aquatic Clan would lead Shaman Ji Nuan to invite Kaka to join the Watson Tribe.
Kaka nodded vigorously, then, under Ji Nuan’s gaze, he swore allegiance to the Water God to become a member of the Watson Tribe.
At that moment, Xiu Yan also set down the porcelain bottle he was holding. His cool eyes turned to the excited Kaka, whose face had turned red. "You should now go to where the new tribespeople are building houses, work together with the tribespeople, and remember to register with Ying Yan."
Having said that, he turned to Dubi. "You lead him there."
Watching his excited friend, Dubi was also filled with joy. He pulled Kaka, bowed to Ji Nuan and Xiu Yan, and then walked out.
Only when the two orcs’ figures had disappeared in the yard did Xiu Yan turn to Ji Nuan with a smile. "Do you like the seaside that much?"
Ji Nuan nodded with a smile. "Yes, by the seaside we might discover more food and animals, and maybe even precious herbs. Don’t you think that’s good?"
Xiu Yan nodded. "Hearing you put it that way, it sounds quite nice. I’ll take you there next summer season."
He picked up a small porcelain bottle and continued dividing the medicine powder. "Of course, if you don’t take me, who will?"
Xiu Yan seemed pleased with the response of the little female. "Then you continue with that, I’ll go make some food. What do you want to eat?"
Ji Nuan tilted her head, thinking about the food she had eaten over the past few days, her eyes brightening with craving as she looked at the orc. "Dumpling soup! I want to eat dumpling soup."
The orc, who was about to head to the kitchen, paused mid-step, then awkwardly retreated, his deep eyes looking at Ji Nuan. "I’ll divide the medicine powder; you go make the food."
Saying this, he didn’t wait for Ji Nuan’s consent and just sat down to continue his previous task.
Ji Nuan was initially startled, then seemed to remember something and stealthily laughed a few times before running to the kitchen under Xiu Yan’s dangerous gaze.
She had forgotten that Xiu Yan hated making flour-based food; he despised the feeling of dough sticking to his hands.
...
Time passed day by day amid the anxious preparations of the orcs of various tribes.
That day, when the orcs opened their doors, the biting cold wind rushed in.
The tribe had already turned entirely white, and the orcs quickly shut their doors, fetched their cotton clothes from the cabinets, and put them on.
They also placed the still unassembled clothes of the females and cubs in the bedclothes to warm them, making sure they would not be cold when they got up to dress.
Then, they quietly walked out of their rooms; they were moving kitchen items to the bedroom.
At that moment, Ji Nuan was standing under the eaves, looking at the outside world draped in silver. Another winter season had come, and she realized she had been in this unknown Beast World for so long already.
Suddenly feeling warmth, the tall orc wrapped her in a large cloak. "Go inside, be careful not to catch a cold."
Ji Nuan nodded her head and followed the orc into the warm house.
