Chapter 953 - 952: Formula
Ji Nuan was in her tent experimenting with antidote potions, but she hadn’t found any effective formula other than using the Beast God Fruit.
This made her somewhat depressed, not knowing where the Sea Serpent Clan and the Nacha Tribe had found such domineering and tricky poisons.
The beast skin curtain of the tent was lifted, and a tall and robust figure walked in.
Ji Nuan looked at the somewhat dusty orc, "You went out?"
Xiu Yan didn’t reply, but walked straight to her side, placing a beast skin bag in her hands.
"This is an herb that can neutralize the poison."
Ji Nuan’s eyes immediately lit up, "Where did this come from? How did you know this herb can neutralize the poison?"
Seeing the little female’s sparkling eyes, Xiu Yan couldn’t help but reveal a smile, "I captured that orc from the Nacha Tribe named Nakra and threatened him to give it to me."
Watching Xiu Yan speak earnestly about his act of banditry, Ji Nuan couldn’t help but laugh.
"You’re quite proud of yourself, aren’t you?"
Xiu Yan raised an eyebrow, "Of course."
"Hahaha~"
Seeing Xiu Yan like this, Ji Nuan couldn’t hold back and laughed out loud.
Xiu Yan moved and sat down on the beast skin mat beside Ji Nuan, "I’m going to bathe first. Try this herb to see if it’s the real antidote. Nakra swore on Lord Beast God, so it should not be fake."
Ji Nuan nodded and rose to her little porcelain basin where she was conducting her experiments.
Her little Mouse Beast was still in a deep sleep, perhaps, because it was in so much pain from the poisoning, its small body was still shivering.
Ji Nuan took out a blade of the herb, plucked a leaf, crushed it, and fed it, bit by bit, into the mouth of the little Mouse Beast.
Then she covered the porcelain basin, leaving the rest to time.
Orcs bath incredibly quickly; Ji Nuan had only just sat down when Xiu Yan returned to the tent, his body still covered in moisture.
His silver-white hair hung down behind him, still dripping water.
Seeing this, Ji Nuan fetched a cotton towel from a basket on the side.
She lifted her chin, indicating for Xiu Yan to sit on the beast skin mat, then stood behind him, unusually willing to help dry his hair.
Xiu Yan’s normally aloof face softened in the glow of the firelight.
Ji Nuan dried Xiu Yan’s enviable long hair bit by bit, but the little Mouse Beast in the porcelain basin showed no reaction.
Ji Nuan decided not to wait any longer and left to wash up with her towel.
After washing up, she was promptly pulled onto the beast skin mat by Xiu Yan.
The next morning, in the forest, the early birds on the branches began to call out, tweeting loudly and creating quite a commotion.
Occasionally, a Snake Beast would pop its head out from between the branches, but the vigilant birds had already flown away.
The Snake Beast that returned empty-mouthed could only hiss in frustration before slithering toward its next target.
Meanwhile, Ji Nuan had also risen from the beast skin mat.
While getting dressed, she glared at a certain refreshed-looking orc propping his head up beside her.
Having had his fill of appreciation, Xiu Yan no longer teased the little female and conscientiously prepared hot water for her to wash with, even passing her the cotton towel attentively.
"Shaman, are you ready? The food is prepared; Captain Ya Li sent me to call you for breakfast," Kaka’s cheerful voice sounded not too far away.
This guy, no matter what time it was, always seemed full of energy.
