Chapter 978 - 977: Loyalty
Ji Nuan’s words had barely finished when the orcs inside the cabin looked at her in unison with greatly surprised eyes.
Even Elyle, who had always been cold and cutting in his words to her, now looked at her as one would a rare medicinal herb.
Jingluo’s eyes, on the other hand, grew brighter, "It seems Shaman Ji Nuan is very loyal to her companion, I truly envy the warrior by your side."
"Envy is useless," a cold voice said with thick hostility.
Ji Nuan smiled and patted Xiu Yan’s tightly clasped hand, looking towards Jingluo with a smile, "So it seems I must disappoint you. I hope you can find a partner you like."
Jingluo’s face broke into a big smile, "I hope to find a partner just like you."
The Whale Priest, as if just coming back to his senses, landed a huge slap on the back of the orc’s head. ’
The sound was so loud that Ji Nuan winced, feeling the pain herself.
Seeing the tears welling up in the corners of Jingluo’s eyes, Xiu Yan couldn’t help but smirk maliciously.
How dare he try to encroach on his territory, served him right!
The atmosphere in the cabin thus became much more relaxed.
"Shaman, the food is ready. Captain Bosson sent us to ask if we may serve it now?" An orc’s voice suddenly sounded from outside the cabin, interrupting the Whale Priest’s chastisement of Jingluo.
Taking advantage of the moment the Whale Priest turned to look towards the door, Jingluo, with tears still in his eyes, sprang up nimble as could be and darted over to sit beside Gui Zhuangzhuang.
Hearing this, Ji Nuan looked towards the door, "Bosson has returned?"
The orc bowed in response, "Yes, Captain Bosson has brought back a lot of game with the tribesmen."
Ji Nuan smiled and waved her hand, "Then let the tribesmen bring the food over, let’s have our friends from the Aquatic Clan try the Land BeastmOrcen’s food to see how tasty it is.
Make sure the remaining Aquatic Clan friends are well taken care of by Ya Li."
After the orc loudly agreed, he turned to bring the food.
Shortly after, the rich scent of food was carried in by the sea breeze, filling the nostrils of all the orcs in the cabin.
Their eyes all held a touch of anticipation.
Seeing them like this, the smile on Ji Nuan’s face deepened, "This is a method of food preparation unique to the Watson Tribe. You can’t find this in any other Orc Tribe."
At this news, the orcs’ anticipation grew even keener, and even Elyle sat quietly, sniffing the air for that fragrant aroma.
"Shaman, the food has been brought," Bosson’s voice called from outside the cabin.
Ji Nuan nodded, "Bring it in."
Then, dish after dish was presented on attractive plates, placed on the table.
In front of each orc were two dishes, and in the middle of the table were three bowls of slightly yellow food the size of an orc’s fist, steaming hot.
They had never seen it before.
The Whale Priest pointed at the three bowls in the middle of the table and looked at Ji Nuan, "Shaman Ji Nuan, what is this fragrant food? I’ve traveled the lands, but I have never seen such a dish."
Ji Nuan, a bit proud, raised her eyebrows slightly, "This is a food our Tribe made by grinding a fruit we discovered into flour. It’s delicious and satisfying, popular among both male and female orcs. Would you like to try it?"
Hearing this, the Whale Priest’s pupils shrank slightly, it seemed this was a new food discovered by the Watson Tribe.
