Chapter 1152 - 1151: Indelible Psychological Shadow
But in order not to repeat Casa’s mistake, both beasts had their backs to each other to prevent seeing anything inappropriate and developing an indelible psychological shadow.
Norz also smartly avoided looking at the two beasts, he focused on the movements in the surroundings, patrolling on their behalf.
Xiu Yan was about to hang the Wolf Beast he was holding and turn around to fetch another when Ji Nuan grabbed his arm.
The soft hand of the little female brushed against his cheek, Ji Nuan pouted and looked at the Orc in front of her: "Leave the rest of the Wolf Beasts for them to handle; we’ll go make some food to eat."
Xiu Yan’s lips, pursed from working, quietly bloomed into a pleased smile, which disappeared in an instant.
He followed behind his little female companion toward the tent.
The Fire Seed in the fire pit was still burning tenaciously, Ji Nuan added a few more branches in, then rolled up her sleeves with a smug look: "Alright, I’ll take care of today’s food."
Xiu Yan’s dark brows slightly raised as he turned and walked towards the lake: "Okay then, I’ll look forward to a tasty meal today."
Ji Nuan let out a hehe laugh and ran under a tree to select ingredients.
There weren’t many dried vegetables left, but since she was cooking today, it had to be complete with color, fragrance, and taste.
She picked and chose a pile, and also cut a fresh piece of Wolf Beast meat.
She dragged Xiu Yan, who was about to sit and watch her busily work, to help her chop a few large bones into pieces, put them in the pot with the meat to boil out the scum, then took them out to clean.
Only then did she put the meat and bones back into the pot to start stewing, throwing in a few dried fruits of spicy fruits and numb fruits, as well as some other seasoning fruits, before finally putting the lid on the pot.
Alright, now just waiting to eat meat and drink soup.
Xiu Yan watched her rest so leisurely, pointed at the unattended pot: "Just that?"
Ji Nuan glared at him: "What about it? Doesn’t it taste good?"
Xiu Yan touched his nose: "How could that be? Whatever you make is the tastiest."
Even though I haven’t actually tasted it in my mouth yet.
"Ugh—" "Ugh—" "Ugh—"
Suddenly, a series of vomiting sounds arose not far away, followed by a chain of vomiting echoing over.
Ji Nuan’s face turned green, why vomit now of all times, just when she was making food.
If you’re going to vomit, just do it quietly; why so loud? That’s just blatantly upsetting the beasts’ stomachs.
What’s the meaning of this!
Suddenly standing up, she looked in the direction where Harry and the others had gone. She couldn’t help feeling that, perhaps due to psychological reasons, the air around her seemed to be filled with a strange scent.
Ji Nuan felt her whole beastly self was somewhat off.
"What were you looking at just now, how could such a big ant bite my butt? Ugh—" Tuya complained loudly, ending once again with a very clear vomiting sound.
"I had my back to you, observing our surroundings. I didn’t notice what was under your feet, ugh—" Norz’s face was green at this point; he now understood how Casa felt just now.
It was truly worse than death. Tuya had just been bitten by a large ant, and the intense pain made her stand up, and then...
There was no ’then’, as when she stood up and turned to look at her own butt, Tuya saw what she had squatted onto in the pit.
Norz, worried, turned around as well and involuntarily caught sight of the still wriggling insects. It was utterly disgusting.
And hearing the noise, Harry was about to turn back to check, but then the vomiting of the two beasts made him stop his half-turned body stiffly in place.
