Chapter 929 - 928: The Gap Between Teeth is Really Big
Xiu Yan’s mouth twitched as he looked at Ji Nuan, "Nuannuan’s teeth are really quite spaced."
Ji Nuan, feeling indignant, glanced at the orc beside her and bared her neat row of little white teeth, "Where are my teeth spaced?"
Xiu Yan chuckled, rubbing the fur of the little female whose hair stood on end, "Alright, you wait here for the little sea turtle while we continue collecting sea beasts."
After speaking, he left with the two orcs trying to hold back their laughter.
Ji Nuan pouted, "Xiu Yan is really getting naughtier."
At that moment, a faint grunting sound reached her ears.
Filled with curiosity, Ji Nuan looked towards the sound, only to see a little sea turtle struggling through the waves with its four tiny flippers, a black and green thing clenched in its little mouth, desperately pulling it toward the beach.
Seeing its strenuous efforts, Ji Nuan quickly walked over.
She pulled on the thing that seemed like a black and green strand of seaweed and dragged it onto the beach.
Together with the little sea turtle, they pulled a Shell Beast as big as a Giggle Beast onto the sand.
Gui Baobao lay stretched out on the beach, panting heavily, looking utterly exhausted.
The sight made Ji Nuan laugh.
She picked up the little creature and placed it on a soft Beast Skin cushion, then carried the Shell Beast over to the stone table.
The little guy looked at the Shell Beast on the stone table, quite proud of himself, and shook his little head, "Shaman, this is my gift to you. Although this Shell Beast isn’t very precious, once you pry it open, you will get a lot of Shell Beads. They look very nice when decorating a cave."
When Ji Nuan saw the Shell Beast, she knew what the little one referred to as Shell Beads - they must be pearls.
Ji Nuan nodded happily, "I really like this gift, thank you, Orc Warrior."
Gui Baobao chuckled proudly, occasionally rubbing his little head against the Beast Skin cushion beneath him, his little face filled with bliss.
Observing the sun beginning to set in the west, Ji Nuan touched Gui Baobao’s little head with her finger, "Gui Baobao, it’s time for us to go home. Don’t you have to go back too? Otherwise, your father will come looking for you."
At her words, the little guy sprang to his feet with a bounce of his short legs, "Mhm mhm, I need to return, or else..." he’d get his bottom smacked.
Of course, he couldn’t say this out loud as it would dent the dignity of an orc warrior.
The little one walked over to the Shell Beast he’d brought, chewed on the black and green seaweed that was tied around it, then spat it out onto the nearby stone table.
Before long, the entire strand of seaweed turned into a clump of black and green mud.
Panting with effort, the little one spread the chewed mud onto the fiery-red Beast Skin cushion that Ji Nuan had given him.
Not until the cushion was completely covered with the mud did he breathe out, his little face full of joy.
Ji Nuan watched the little guy work in silence.
Seeing that he had covered the Beast Skin cushion she gifted him with this mud, she finally spoke up, "Gui Baobao, why are you smearing this grass mud on the Beast Skin?"
The little cub lifted his head proudly, "This black grass mud will become waterproof when it dries. If I apply it to the Beast Skin and take it home, I won’t have to worry about the skin getting wet and spoiled by water."
A glimmer of admiration appeared in Ji Nuan’s eyes, "You’re really smart!"
The little sea turtle twirled around joyfully, "Of course! Only I know the use of this seaweed. It’s so dark, I just call it black grass."
After saying this, he looked at Ji Nuan with shining eyes.
