Chapter 1119 - 1118: Not That Great
Camels aren’t that ungrateful; this female looks a tad small, must be tired from letting me stroke its fur for so long.
Turning its head away, it cleared its mind and mechanically began to chew the cud again.
Ji Nuan pulled Xiu Yan, who was giving the camel an unfriendly look, back to the tent: "Brother Xiu Yan, what do you think of this big guy?"
With a sidelong glance, Xiu Yan looked at her; he already knew what she was planning, understood that opposing was futile, but somehow not making a fuss felt wrong.
"I’m not that impressed, that beast wants to eat crispy sweet fruits, when we reach the desert, where on earth would we find those fruits for it?
Also, its fur is so hard and prickly, why would you want to ride on its back, isn’t mine more comfortable?"
Tsk~
Ji Nuan, seeing the sour look on a certain beast’s face, couldn’t help but click her tongue: "You were definitely stronger than it in the forest, but in the desert, you’re no match for the camel. Plus, they can store up energy for many days after eating just one meal.
I just noticed, this big fellow is like little Moumou, even when it’s not eating, it’s always chewing something.
Just like Moumou, it stores food and continues to chew to increase energy when hungry.
Those big lumps on its back could be for storing reserves; if that’s the case, it’d save us a lot food in the desert compared to the two of us."
Xiu Yan’s dark pupils turned to Ji Nuan, as his little companion had made such detailed observations, it was clear his protests were in vain.
Seeing him silent, Ji Nuan struck while the iron was hot, clapping her hands together in decision: "Then it’s happily decided, we’ll bring this big guy along on our travels, haha."
Xiu Yan pursed his lips; what’s there to be happy about? He wasn’t pleased at all. The happy world of just the two beasts hadn’t lasted long before a third beast was about to join in.
The frustrated orc wrapped his long arm around her, and the triumphant Ji Nuan instantly experienced his merciless suppression.
The next day, the orc came out of the tent feeling refreshed and found the beast with its big watery eyes not as annoying anymore.
Even pleasantly, he tossed two crispy sweet fruits in front of the big beast.
The big beast seemed to be in high spirits too, holding its head high and giving a cheerful chirp of thanks before bowing down to relish the treat.
Ji Nuan woke up not too late, thinking of the many tasks to be done today, and as the sun fully rose, she also got up.
Perhaps because of her increased Evolution Level, her physical condition had also greatly enhanced, and she was able to hop and skip about.
While Ji Nuan was busy organizing items, she didn’t catch Xiu Yan’s meaningful glance; otherwise, she would have pretended a bit.
But in this world, there’s no such thing as a regret medicine to buy.
Ji Nuan had sewed a rather soft piece of Beast Skin caught from hunting these past days into a blanket, and draped it over the Camel’s humps.
The Camel showed no particular feelings, still leisurely chewing its food.
It was only when Ji Nuan tried to climb onto its back that the big fellow stopped chewing and turned its head to look at her.
Ji Nuan pointed to herself, then to the Camel’s back, and then took half a crispy sweet fruit from her Beast Skin pouch and tossed it to the Camel: "If you let me ride, I’ll give you some tasty fruit."
