Leisurely Farm Life in Beast World

Xiu Yan released his little companion from his embrace, his deep eyes shimmering as if containing the stars themselves, his voice low and magnetic as if to ensnare Ji Nuan’s soul: "Is Nuannuan not afraid of Lord Beast God’s punishment?"

Enthralled by the Orc’s handsome features, Ji Nuan swallowed and hurriedly struggled to turn her head away: "Lord Beast God entrusted me with this task in hopes that I could teach these things to his people. We are all children of Lord Beast God; he will not find fault with us."

The light in Xiu Yan’s eyes sparkled, as if he had returned to his youthful days as a cub: "Good, I want to learn how to write Nuannuan’s name."

Ji Nuan felt a warmth in her heart and chuckled, picking up a brush beside her and writing her own name on the piece of Beast Skin, right next to Xiu Yan’s name.

Having written for so many years in her previous life in China, she had never felt like this; just writing their two names together filled her with excitement and happiness.

Ji Nuan glanced at the tall and aloof Orc beside her, fearing that this one might be her beloved.

After learning to write for a while, Ji Nuan did not expect that Xiu Yan would have such a natural talent for recognizing characters. She had only taught him the correct stroke order a few times, yet he was already able to write both of their names.

Ji Nuan finally experienced what it feels like to be a teacher facing a prodigious student; it was something indescribable, beyond excitement and gratification.

As dusk fell and the flames within the tent grew smaller, Xiu Yan added two thick logs to the fire. He then set aside the yellow sheepskin and lifted the Beast Skin blanket, cradling the already fast-asleep female into the land of dreams.

Outside, Maomao and a few companions seemed to have become accustomed to surrounding their tent when sleeping, blocking much of the cold wind.

The next morning, Harry and the others rose early; the wind had picked up the night before, and although it was not strong, the temperature was colder than usual.

Tuya was awakened by the cold in the middle of the night, and it was only after Norz transformed into his beast form and wrapped her up that she could sleep soundly until dawn.

There was still some food left from what Xiu Yan had given them yesterday. They knew all too well how scarce food was in this area, so they were very frugal with their food and water.

They ate some meat and carefully sipped some water from the jie jie tree container.

Some movement finally came from another tent, and the Beast Skin curtain was lifted as the tall and aloof Orc stepped out.

Without giving them a glance, he went straight to one side to start preparing food.

This time, without waiting for Ji Nuan to speak, as soon as Xiu Yan’s profound gaze swept over in this direction, Norz consciously took the bowl from yesterday over to him.

Xiu Yan ladled some purple fruit porridge into his bowl, then covered the pot before entering the tent to call for Ji Nuan.

At the other side, Tuya sipped the warm and sweet purple fruit porridge, warming up completely, she comfortably sighed: "Delicious."

After Ji Nuan had eaten, Xiu Yan cleaned up and the group of beasts then prepared to set off.

Ji Nuan waved to Harry and the others: "Shaman Harry, come here for a moment."

The beasts approached Ji Nuan; after all, the chilling glare from the Orc beside Shaman Ji Nuan was too incisive for them.

Ji Nuan moved to the side of a Camel and patted its hump. The tall Camel snorted and slowly lay down on the sandy ground.

Ji Nuan then looked at Norz: "Let Tuya mount."
