The orcs' shocked expressions made Ji Nuan's heart skip a beat. Did she do something earth-shattering? Why did everyone look so strange?

"You can't eat this cuckoo beast. You'll get sick if you eat it!" A tall and strong beastman looked at the clods of earth in the basket with a lingering fear on his face. His younger brother got sick because of eating the cuckoo beast. He drank bitter water for a long time and now he can't eat too much meat.

"Yes, yes, this cuckoo beast can't be eaten!"

"Before, a kid got sick after eating it and almost died!"

"Humph! I think she has bad intentions!" The tall and strong female pushed aside the beastman in front of her, walked in with her chin held high, and looked at Ji Nuan with malice in her eyes. "Everyone knows that eating a Gulp Beast will make you sick, but you still gave it to Aunt Ge Rou! You can't give birth to a cub yourself, so you can't bear to see other people's cubs doing well, can you?"

Manli glanced at Xiu Yan, who was still concentrating on processing the prey and didn't even look at her, and her eyes darkened. Then she vented her frustration on Ji Nuan, whom she already hated: "You vicious female cub, Brother Xiu Yan took pity on you and gave you the prey, but you wanted to kill him!"

Manli and Shanzai both grew up in the cub cave. Manli was stronger than other females since she was young, so naturally her appetite was much bigger than other females. Every time she saw the grandmother who took care of them share the limited food with the Shanzai who could not give birth to cubs, she hated the Shanzai even more.

What's the point of a female that can't give birth? Why waste the tribe's food to keep her? It's better to give the food to the healthy females who can give birth to pups for the tribe.

Ignoring Manli's shouting, Ji Nuan walked to the basket and took out a lump of earth from it: "Aunt Rou, can you give me a stone knife?"

Gorou didn't know what the little female was going to do, but she turned around and prepared to go to the cave to get a stone knife.

But the next moment, Manli's action made her stop.

She rushed over with a sinister look in her eyes, raised her big black feet and stepped on a lump of earth that Ji Nuan had placed on the ground. The earth, which was not very hard to begin with, could not withstand such a heavy blow and broke into pieces all of a sudden. A mocking arc appeared on Manli's lips, and her eyes were provocative.

The white and tender meat mixed with the dark soil did not look very good, but the rich aroma that emanated from it made people swallow their saliva all around.

The rumbling sound from her stomach surrounded Ji Nuan, making her feel as if she had walked into a large symphony orchestra.

"It smells so good! Sister, can I pinch it?"

Just as Ji Nuan was stunned, a cute little fur ball with unclear speech came over. Ji Nuan could even see the fur at the corners of the little silver wolf's mouth soaked with saliva.

The big round eyes like black grapes looked at the white and tender flesh with greed, and asked Ji Nuan pitifully. The chubby little paws tickled Ji Nuan's arm, and the soft little pads rubbed against her arm, which made Ji Nuan blush.

Seeing the little cub's sparkling eyes, the old aunt could hardly control her thoughts.

"You can't eat it! You'll die if you eat it!" The black big feet crushed the broken chicken meat a few more times. Manli reached out to pick up the little cub rubbing against Ji Nuan. The chicken meat on the ground was covered with a layer of mud, and it looked gray and ugly.

Ji Nuan took the lead and picked up the little cub that was tugging at her. She stood up and looked at the female who had repeatedly targeted her: "Sister Manli, I have already eaten this cuckoo beast. It's nothing serious. The tribe members got sick after eating it in the past because they didn't handle the fur on the cuckoo beast. The cuckoo beast is delicious!"

"You say it's okay, so it's okay? You're not a witch doctor! Do you want to marry Prince Xiu Yan? Haha, no orc will marry a female who can't give birth to a baby. It's useless even if you try to please Uncle Xiu Li and Aunt Rou!" Manli knew what the mountain baby's pain was. Every time she was told that she couldn't give birth to a baby, she would cry silently in the cave like a beast.

"Besides~" Manli raised her eyebrows proudly, "Aunt Rou has already told me that I will let Brother Xiu Yan become my partner before the cold season. Next year, I will give birth to a healthy baby for Brother Xiu Yan! You better stay away from him! Otherwise, be careful or I will be rude to you!"

Manli's sharp voice was so piercing that Ji Nuan had to hold the little cub and take a few steps back. She used her skinny hands to fold down the two furry ears of the little silver wolf and plug them up. The little cub was still young, so she had to be careful not to hurt its ears.
