Leisurely Farm Life in Beast World

The little voice huffed indignantly, "Powerful Orc Warriors aren’t scared at all, little female, you dare underestimate me."

Ji Nuan chuckled and beckoned to the little one, "You’re quite rude to me too, you know? After all, I am a great Shaman."

The little one kicked the sand with his right foot, adorably tilting his head, "What’s a Shaman? Are they even more formidable than Orc Warriors?"

Ji Nuan stroked her chin, her eyebrows furrowing slightly, "Hmm, should be pretty formidable, I guess. Anyway, all powerful orcs bow to me when they see me."

The little one’s moist, black bean-like eyes regarded Ji Nuan skeptically, "Really?"

Ji Nuan nodded solemnly, "Of course, you should know that our Land BeastmOrcen Shaman and your Aquatic Clan priest are the same."

With a bounce of its four stubby legs, the small one’s tail puffed up in fear, and its eyes filled with apprehension, "You... you’re a priest!"

Ji Nuan nodded, "That’s right, so tell me, powerful Orc Warrior, aren’t you supposed to pay respects to the great Shaman?"

The sea-calf’s eyes, which resembled black beans, blinked at Ji Nuan before he shuffled over to a spot not far from her.

With his small head bowed, the right paw raised to his little chest, his little voice was endearingly polite, "Tortoise Clan’s Gui Baobao greets the great Shaman."

Ji Nuan, initially grinning at the little one paying his respects, nearly choked on her saliva upon hearing the youngster’s name and couldn’t help but cough several times.

Gui Baobao, puzzled, raised his head to look at Ji Nuan, confusion brimming in his black bean-like eyes, "Shaman, what are you laughing at?"

Ji Nuan hastily cleared her throat and shook her head with faux seriousness, "Nothing, nothing, just a gust of wind blew sand into my mouth."

The little tortoise glanced at Ji Nuan, then raised his paw to touch his small mouth before pretending to sigh maturely, "Shaman, your mouth is too big."

Upon hearing this, Ji Nuan’s expression stiffened as she tried to suppress a twitch at the corner of her mouth.

Meanwhile, the three Orcs nearby, gathering Shell Beasts and Sea Beasts, had been struggling to contain their laughter.

At the young Tortoise’s comment, Ya Li burst into spontaneous laughter.

Annoyed and embarrassed, Ji Nuan shot Ya Li a fierce glare.

Seeing Ji Nuan seated cross-legged on the beach, the little tortoise also walked over and curled his two small hind legs into a seated position.

Really, he looked quite proper.

"Shaman, what happened to that Orc just now?"

Ji Nuan glanced at Ya Li, her voice filled with mirth, "That uncle’s mouth is even bigger than mine, so he got a mouthful of sand blown into it, even more than I did."

The little tortoise’s black bean eyes revealed a hint of sympathy, "That uncle is really pitiable."

Ji Nuan laughed inwardly.

She looked at the sitting little one with his stubby legs folded, "Orc Warrior, we’ll be cooking some very tasty food later using the Shell Beasts and Sea Beasts we’ve just collected. Do you want to join us?"

The young Tortoise tapped his little paws together, his black bean eyes hesitant, "But if it’s too late, my father will come looking for me."

Ji Nuan patted her chest, "Don’t worry, the food will be prepared quickly. You can eat and then go back; it won’t be late."

Hearing this, the little tortoise’s eyes shone brightly at Ji Nuan, "Is it really tasty?"

Ji Nuan nodded emphatically, "Really."
