Chapter 1123 - 1122: Abundant Fodder
The Orc’s figure shook, and with his arms spread wide, he pulled his little companion tightly into his embrace. As Orcs are tall with broad chests, Ji Nuan being held like this felt completely enveloped, filled with a sense of security.
After the two beasts cozied up for a while, Xiu Yan took Ji Nuan to fetch and boil water, while the triumphant Maomao began to enjoy the big feast Xiu Yan prepared for him—a lavish meal of grass.
With this, Xiu Yan had accepted Maomao into their party since, in crucial moments, this beast proved to be quite useful.
That evening, Xiu Yan found a large tree and hollowed it out into the shape of a bathtub for Ji Nuan to bathe in.
Having been out for such a long time, Ji Nuan was extremely excited to finally be able to enjoy a proper bath.
Although this enjoyment was cut short by a certain thick-skinned Orc who intruded, turning it into somewhat of a steamy love bath...
The next morning, the two Orcs along with Maomao set off on their journey to the desert.
As they got closer to the desert, the sun began to blaze with a fierce intensity.
Ji Nuan sat on Maomao’s back, wearing a hat woven by Xiu Yan, and the entire beast was shrouded in the hat’s shadow.
Maomao’s body was laden with items of various sizes, but the creature seemed not to feel it at all, still strolling leisurely as ever.
As noon approached, beads of sweat began to form on Xiu Yan’s body, and the Beast Skin clothes that he was wearing previously had been taken off by him.
The Orc, with his muscular torso exposed, truly never imagined that the temperature they felt at the base of the mountain was only a drop in the bucket.
Walking into this desert, the temperature turned out to be terrifyingly high.
It was at this moment that Maomao stopped in its tracks and nuzzled against Ji Nuan’s leg with its head.
Ji Nuan, puzzled, stroked its head, "What’s wrong, Maomao?"
Maomao raised its head and called out in one direction a few times. Xiu Yan moved from Maomao’s left to its right, where footsteps from many feet could be heard.
"There’s the sound of a lot of footsteps."
Upon hearing those footsteps, Maomao, surprisingly departing from its usual leisurely demeanor, became somewhat excited.
Ji Nuan looked at Xiu Yan, "Brother Xiu Yan, could it be Maomao’s tribe?"
Xiu Yan took a few steps forward, sniffed with his proud nose, and upon smelling a familiar scent, felt that something was seriously off.
This damned Maomao, following the little female around for free food and drinks was enough, but now he’d brought his family as well.
Sure enough, it wasn’t long before eight large Camels emerged from behind the dunes, appearing even larger than Maomao.
Ji Nuan was stunned—could Maomao actually be a small juvenile?
The moment the large Camels saw Maomao, they ran over, each one rubbing against Maomao non-stop.
But in places out of Maomao’s sight, they were kicking and nudging each other, vying joyously for a chance to be close to Maomao.
If Ji Nuan couldn’t figure it out by now, then she would truly be a foolish beast.
So it turned out the Maomao, lured with delicious fruits, was in fact a female beast.
In the Orc Tribe, a female Orc could have multiple companions, but Maomao seemed to be even more promiscuous than the females of the Orc world, with enough partners to form a Camel Team.
After some coaxing and enticing, Maomao’s companions also became members of Xiu Yan and Ji Nuan’s Camel Team.
