Leisurely Farm Life in Beast World

Harry didn’t reject their food this time but gestured for a few Orcs to place the firebird in the corner near the tent.

"You guys go ahead and prepare the beast skins. I’ll arrange for the tribe members to help you set up the tents."

Harry had already decided on the best choice of helper—Norz, that cunning Orc, was just the perfect candidate.

Xiu Yan was quite satisfied with this firebird. Nuannuan loved eating the Giggle Beast she roasted herself, but all the ones they’d hunted earlier had been eaten already.

Although this firebird was significantly larger than a Giggle Beast, they looked quite similar. The taste shouldn’t differ too much either, right?

Ji Nuan tidied up her medicine powders and belongings, then dashed into the tent in one swift movement, leaving all the follow-up tasks entirely to Harry.

Meanwhile, Xiu Yan, who had just cleaned up the firebird, was now staring at the small firepit in front of him.

Heh, such a massive firebird—roasting it over such a small firepit? Are we sure it’s not just going to singe the feathers?

Without hesitation, he placed the naked firebird into the basket on his back. If the firepit needs to be bigger, it’s time to find some firewood!

"Brother Xiu Yan, where are you going?" Ji Nuan’s voice suddenly rang out behind him, halting Xiu Yan, who was about to head out.

The Orc lifted the firebird from the basket. "I’m going to gather some firewood to roast this firebird."

Ji Nuan’s eyes gleamed as soon as she saw the already-prepped, plucked firebird. Though she’d never eaten such prey before, it didn’t stop her from imagining this firebird as a Giggle Beast.

Still... the size of this beast could practically make it the ancestor of all Giggle Beasts. Ji Nuan eyed the two massive legs and wings, swallowing hard.

With hopeful eyes, she gazed at the Orc holding the firebird. "Brother Xiu Yan, can we roast the wings and legs first?"

As an exemplary pet partner fanatic, Xiu Yan always abided by the rule that whatever his partner said was correct, every decision she made was right, every beast she disliked deserved to be wiped out, and anything she wanted must be obtained.

Oh, Xiu Yan from the streets may be fierce and silent, but with swift movements of his well-defined hands, the massive firebird lost its wings and legs, transforming into a bird stick.

Ji Nuan’s lips twitched as she silently mourned for the bird for three seconds—no more, no less.

The two legs and two wings were skewered onto wooden sticks. Despite the sweltering weather, the Orc sat by the firepit and carefully roasted the meat, while Ji Nuan stood beside him, using a damp cloth to wipe the sweat off his face.

As she wiped, her thoughts started drifting. Her Orc was so handsome—his eyes and eyebrows were so perfect, his lashes were so long, he was practically a lash spirit. His nose was so high and straight, even his lips looked good, and they were so soft to the touch... uh...

No, no! What was she thinking? Wrong thoughts, wrong thoughts...

Quickly snapping her gaze away, she pretended to nonchalantly glance up at the scorching sun high in the sky, which seemed to radiate boundless enthusiasm. Surely it was just the heat making her heart restless, right?

Ji Nuan hadn’t noticed that after she retracted her gaze, the Orc who had just been diligently roasting meat now had the faint curve of amusement on his lips.

It seemed Father’s advice was spot on—occasionally using a "beauty beast tactic" certainly wasn’t wrong. Didn’t his little partner just stare at him like she was completely dazed?

What Xiu Yan and Ji Nuan hadn’t anticipated, however, was that the meat of this type of firebird turned out to be exceptionally challenging to roast. Perhaps it was because these beasts lived in deserts and were naturally accustomed to heat?
