Chapter 1222 - 1221: The Awaited Treatment
The old Shaman was very excited at this moment; he couldn’t wait to see how Ji Nuan treated the Orcs.
"I will first assess everyone’s condition and then decide the order of treatment," Ji Nuan glanced at the old Shaman and added, "After receiving treatment, they cannot stay in cold places. If they do, it will leave hidden dangers. Whenever the weather changes or the cold season comes, the injured areas will become unbearably painful.
So, the treated Orcs will have to recuperate in my cave. But my space is limited, so we’ll have to wait for a batch of Orcs to recover and leave before treating the others."
Thinking about the issue of Fire Seed, Ji Nuan furrowed her brows and turned to the old Shaman and Chief Hasa: "There’s one more thing I’ll need the Clan Leader to prepare."
At this moment, Chief Hasa was practically overflowing with respect for Ji Nuan: "Shaman Ji Nuan, whatever you need, just let me know. I’ll take care of it."
"Since helping the Orcs was not something that was initially planned, the firewood I have prepared is insufficient. So, Clan Leader, you’ll need to organize some Orcs to gather more firewood during this time."
Chief Hasa hadn’t expected that Shaman Ji Nuan was referring to firewood. But recalling her earlier statement about how the treated Orcs couldn’t be exposed to cold, he realized Fire Seed would need to be lit in the cave.
Although finding firewood amidst the blizzards and post-snow oasis would be difficult, for the sake of his people, Chief Hasa resolutely promised: "You can rest assured, leave the firewood matter to me."
The examinations continued until nightfall, and the injuries of the Orcs were roughly categorized into two types: fractures and dislocations.
However, given the Orcs’ extraordinary recovery abilities, all it took was to reset their injuries properly.
With Sharp Tooth Grass Powder available, Ji Nuan wasn’t worried that the Orcs wouldn’t be able to endure the pain.
Her kitchen could be converted into a healing ward and accommodate five Orcs. However, Ji Nuan explicitly told the old Shaman and Chief Hasa that one of those spots needed to remain reserved for a caretaker for the injured Orcs.
She could treat them, but she wasn’t about to personally tend to each of them afterward—she feared Brother Xiu Yan might explode and slay beasts out of sheer frustration.
Ultimately, the task of looking after the injured Orcs was handed off to the brothers Awa and Ada. The two Orcs would take turns caring for them. Being Orcs that Ji Nuan was familiar with, both she and Xiu Yan were quite satisfied with the arrangement.
Additionally, Awa and Ada were also knowledgeable about post-treatment recovery, making this the ideal setup.
Having arranged to treat one Orc with a fracture and another with a dislocation the following day, Ji Nuan was suddenly swept into the Orc’s broad embrace, wrapped up tightly like a dumpling, and carried back to the cave.
After sitting on the Beast Skin mat for such a long time, Ji Nuan felt her buttocks no longer belonged to her.
Xiu Yan sat behind her, massaging her, while his deep, piercing gaze scrutinized her like a sharp knife: "Oh, now you realize you’re tired?"
Ji Nuan flashed a particularly ingratiating smile: "Hehe, wasn’t all this just for the sake of making our plans easier to carry out? It was just a small contribution. My dear Brother Xiu Yan, don’t be upset, okay?"
The Orc gave a light snort and, grasping the little female’s soft, tender white calves, suddenly leaned in with a "bite" under her startled gaze.
It wasn’t until the sharp pain in her calf registered that Ji Nuan finally believed—she’d actually been bitten!
"Why are you biting me~" Her voice was soft and fluffy, completely devoid of any menace.
The Orc narrowed his eyes slightly: "Thinking about breaking your legs."
