Chapter 10, Return Gift



Seeing the female cub in front of him with two furry grey animal ears on its head and a trembling tiger tail behind it, Xiuli couldn't help but frown his sword-like brows. He didn't remember having any contact with this female cub!

"Hey? It's the mountain cub! Why are you here? Have you had dinner?" Ge Rou heard the soft and weak voice of a little female in the cave. She thought it was her own cub who had come to her senses. When she followed the sound, she found it was the poor female cub in the tribe.

Ji Nuan raised her head and faced the gazes of Xiu Li's family. She took the basket off her back and placed it in front of Ge Rou. "Aunt Rou, these are the clucking beasts I caught myself. When I went out to collect them today, Brother Xiu Yan gave me a leg of a humming beast. These clucking beasts are my return gift."

Upon hearing this, Ge Rou looked at her cub in surprise. Xiu Yan was still as cold and aloof as usual, processing the prey in his hands without even glancing at her.

This unmoved look made Ge Rou feel relieved. Although there were not many females in the tribe, his cub might have to share a female with other orcs.

But it was the same in the entire beast world. She only had one male, Xiuli, because Xiuli had strong hunting abilities. At that time, there were not as few females in the tribe as there are now. Also, with the help of her brother, she would not go hungry.

But in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer females in the tribe, and almost no young females want only one partner, so even if her cub is going to share a female with other beastmen in the future, she doesn't want her cub to have any relationship with Ji Nuan.

It’s not that she disliked Ji Nuan. On the contrary, she liked this gentle little female cub Gorou very much. But no matter how much she liked her, it was not as important as having her own cub. All the beasts in the tribe knew that Ji Nuan could not give birth to cubs, and she didn’t want her cubs to be without offspring.

Their silver wolf clan is already rare, and they can't find a female who can't give birth to cubs.

But in the blink of an eye, Ge Rou's mind had already gone through several circles, and even the little boy was thought of.

When the people in the tribe saw Xiuli's family talking about something with Shanzi, they became curious and put down their work and gathered around.

Ge Rou was hesitating whether to take back these giggling beasts. This expression caught the eyes of Ge Xing who was not far away, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. What happened?

He quickly pulled his female over and asked, "What happened?" When the beastmen saw their leader coming, they consciously made way for him. Ge Xing saw Xiuli's family and Ji Nuan standing in the middle, as well as a strange thing not far in front of Ji Nuan, with several black lumps of earth inside.

Seeing that the atmosphere was no longer tense, Ge Xing breathed a sigh of relief and walked to his sister's side: "What happened?"

When Ge Rou saw her brother coming, she came back to her senses from her wild imagination. She saw the tribesmen gathered in a circle and the little female in front of her with a pair of round, clear cat eyes looking at her tenderly. Ge Rou couldn't help but blush.

"Nothing! Brother, Xiu Yan happened to meet a mountain girl gathering fruits while hunting today. Seeing that she had no meat, he gave her a leg of a humming beast. The boy was so nice that he even brought us a roasted clucking beast, saying that he was thanking Xiu Yan!" After saying that, he looked at Ji Nuan with regret.

The females in the tribe are spoiled. How can they be so likable? It's a pity that they can't give birth to cubs. Alas!

Ge Xing and the surrounding orcs looked at Ji Nuan in surprise. This little female was really different from other females. The females in the tribe were accustomed to the orcs' gifts.
