Chapter 941 - 940, Crybaby
After learning the reason Gui Beibei had recovered, the priest and the other tribesfolk dispersed.
However, Gui Baobao cried his eyes out afterward.
The reason, of course, was that Lord Priest had taken his beloved little porcelain vial away, claiming he wanted to borrow it for a few days to study the potion inside.
But Gui Baobao didn’t believe it. He had given all the potion in the little vial to Beibei—how could there be any left for Granpa Priest to study?
So he felt that Granpa was simply trying to swindle his pretty little porcelain vial.
In the evening, the beast skin mattresses of the two little cubs were moved by Gui Zhuangzhuang and his partner to their side.
Having thought they were going to lose their cub, who was now living well and bouncing around next to them, they all felt a bit unreal.
Moreover, since Gui Baobao had a history of running away, the two beasts decided to sleep with the two little cubs.
The next morning, Gui Baobao and Gui Beibei had to get up early, worn out by their father and Amu.
The two little cubs yawned from time to time with their small mouths open, their eyes like little black beans shimmering with tears.
No need to ask—they were sleepy.
Gui Baobao’s Amu painfully used two beast skin pieces the size of her palms to wrap a shell bead.
She tied it with tough seagrass and handed it to the two cubs.
"This shell bead is colored, and the Land Beastmen will definitely like it. You can give it to that shaman,"
the female Orc carefully instructed.
It wasn’t a surprise, really. After hearing the priest say that Baobao’s good friend might be a shaman yesterday, she felt very uneasy.
The temperaments of the priests from the Aquatic Clan were notoriously bad.
Even though the old priest liked the tribe’s little cubs, he didn’t pay much attention to them, the grown females and Orcs.
So they always tread carefully in front of the old priest.
Moreover, the priests were always studying herbs in their caves and rarely came out.
Everyone said they were communicating with Lord Water God, so no one dared to disturb them lightly.
Watching the two little fellows wobble into the sea, disappearing from sight,
the female sighed and finally turned to go back.
She was going to gather sea vegetables soon.
Ji Nuan had arrived at the beach early in the morning, still with Xiu Yan and Kaka.
But today, they weren’t collecting shell beasts and sea beasts.
Instead, they got two large pots of seawater and set up a simple stove to start making salt.
The first pot of seawater was almost dried up, with a white ring of salt forming at the bottom.
Ji Nuan tasted a bit with his hand. While it wasn’t as pure as the taste of salt fruit, after a bit more filtering, it should be about right, certainly better than drinking blood.
Ji Nuan felt he should be satisfied.
"The two little cubs are coming," Xiu Yan’s voice echoed in his ears.
Ji Nuan stopped what he was doing and handed the stirring stick to Xiu Yan as he walked toward the shore.
Shortly after setting out, he indeed saw the two little ones puffing and panting as they dragged a beast skin parcel that was as big as an Orc’s palm.
Seeing Ji Nuan approach, the two little ones immediately let go of the seagrass in their mouths.
Flipping their little short legs, they ran towards him: "Shaman friend, that’s a very pretty shell bead for you; we can’t carry it."
After speaking, Gui Baobao even awkwardly scraped at the sand on the beach.
Gui Beibei also chimed in, nodding her little head: "Heavy."
Ji Nuan smiled too, "Then you two should eat more food, grow as strong as your father, and then you’ll be able to carry anything."
