Leisurely Farm Life in Beast World

Xiu Yan snorted disdainfully, all too familiar with his little companion’s nature. When she apologized cutely, she was sincere, but when it came to being bold, she never shrank away.

With a helpless sigh, he ruffled her already messy hair roughly a few more times before extending a hand to pull her toward the nearby riverbank.

Ji Nuan was also aware that her actions today were really quite risky, so she behaved very well along the way.

By the riverbank, Ji Nuan sorted the fruit that Xiu Yan had gathered, placing the broken ones in a basket set aside to later feed the camels.

The intact fruits were placed in a new basket for them and the camels to eat on the road.

This time, most of the prey Xiu Yan caught was still alive, except for one Long-eared Beast that seemed to have bled to death.

At night, the two beasts stewed the remaining Humming Beast and the Long-eared Beast in two full pots.

Given the appetites of the two evolutionary orcs, Ji Nuan felt they would surely starve to death in the desert without food.

With plenty of time left after eating, Ji Nuan pulled Xiu Yan to gather some tender wild herbs and soft vines nearby.

They filled two large baskets and dumped the less perishable fruits they had picked out earlier in front of the camel.

The big guy’s eyes, already watery, twinkled all the more brightly.

It nuzzled Ji Nuan’s arm and started munching with a cheerful crunch.

Watching it eat so contentedly, Ji Nuan turned to Xiu Yan: "Brother Xiu Yan, shouldn’t we give this big guy a name?"

Xiu Yan looked at the large beast before him for a while, until it was almost incapable of chewing the fruit in its mouth, before he said, "Just call it Big Moumou."

Ji Nuan’s expression stiffened, and the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably: "It’s not a Green Bull Beast, and it doesn’t moo. Is Big Moumou really fitting?"

Xiu Yan’s deep gaze settled on her, his face earnest: "It fits."

After all, he disliked both this big wild beast and that bratty Moumou.

The Moumou which had limited room to graze in the Watson Tribe suddenly sneezed, looked up at the sky puzzledly — it must be the mate of its owner, that petty-hearted orc, being jealous of it again.

Ji Nuan rolled her eyes speechlessly: "Alright, I’ll think of something myself."

Saying so, she looked at the camel again, really admiring its eyes and long eyelashes...

So long... long... that’s it!

Ji Nuan clapped her hands, excitedly turning to Xiu Yan: "Its eyelashes are so long and pretty, let’s call it Maomao."

Xiu Yan nodded in response: "Hmm."

He thought any name was fine for a beast he didn’t like.

Ji Nuan giggled and walked over to pat the camel’s head: "Alright, you’ll be called Maomao from now on. Please take care of us."

Maomao, disturbed while eating, nudged Ji Nuan’s hand with its large head, then lowered it to continue nibbling on the fruit.

One shouldn’t disturb a beast while it’s eating.

Ji Nuan chuckled.

Suddenly, a chilling sensation enveloped her entire body, making her shiver uncontrollably.

Maomao, also seemingly sensing something, grabbed Ji Nuan’s Beast Skin clothing in its mouth and tugged her in a different direction.

Just then, a whooshing noise pierced the air, and Ji Nuan felt something warm spray onto the back of her neck.

Still somewhat in shock, she reached up to wipe it off and looked at her hand, her eyes widening instantly.

It was blood!
