The Watson tribe was particularly lively tonight. Ji Nuan's small gathering of a few beasts turned into a large gathering of the tribe. The beastmen who were on good terms with each other sat around a campfire. There was a pot on the campfire with various foods cooked in it.
Some beastmen’s families were cooking noodles in their pots, while others were cooking purple fruit porridge made from carefully stored sweet and crisp fruits.
There were three big pots on the fire of Ji Nuan and the beasts. In one pot, purple fruit rice was cooked, in another pot, fragrant cackling beast soup was simmered, and in another pot, cackling beast chunks were prepared to be fried for a spicy beast-tempting dish.
The rich fragrance floated over the tribe, as if a thin veil covered the tribe, and the area under the veil became a paradise for the little ones.
The chubby little guys ran on their short legs to the west house to get a bite of food, or to the east house to drink a sip of soup. It was so comfortable.
When orcs grow up, they have to hunt and fight. Compared with the young females who are valued from birth, their lives are much more dangerous.
Therefore, except for training, the beast father, beast mother and the tribesmen are also quite doting on the little beastman.
Of course, that's when they're not being naughty.
The orcs, who had eaten and drunk their fill, sat together and talked. The atmosphere was warm and beautiful. Ji Nuan looked up at the sky, and the stars in the sky were blinking at her.
For some reason, she suddenly remembered a joke she saw in China: "What are you looking at? What's wrong with me looking at you?" and her eyes were filled with smiles.
"A Nuan, look at your Xiu Yan, he always bullies my Fu Yi!" Xi Qi's dissatisfied complaint sounded beside her. Ji Nuan, whose thoughts were interrupted, looked in the direction of the voice.
I saw Qiqi holding the little fur ball Fuyi in her arms. Fuyi held Qiqi's arms with his two front paws and rubbed her arms with a pitiful look. There was a bald spot on the tip of his tail.
And that piece of hair...
Turning to look at Xiu Yan, sure enough, the beastman had a gloomy face, with a tuft of snow-white hair pinched between his two fingers, which was extremely dazzling.
Ji Nuan was having a headache. Brother Xiu Yan and Fu Yi were always trying to catch each other, and they wouldn't let each other go!
Ji Nuan stood up and walked over to grab Xiu Yan's arm, grinning and saying, "Don't worry, I'll go back and take care of him right now!"
After saying that, he pulled Xiu Yan and walked towards the tent.
Qi Mo's consoling voice came from behind: "Don't be sad! Don't worry, even if you are bald, you are still the most beautiful kid in this tribe!"
The corner of Ji Nuan's mouth twitched.
Back in the tent, the two beasts sat facing each other. Ji Nuan looked at Xiu Yan and said, "Tell me, why do you always bully Fu Yi?"
Xiu Yan glanced at Ji Nuan with his deep eyes, pouted his lips and said in a rather depressed tone: "How could I bully him? That scheming beast, he is about to change his fur, and he is afraid that Qi Mo will dislike him, so he uses me to pretend to be pitiful, just to hear Qi Mo say that she doesn't dislike him!"
Ji Nuan looked at him suspiciously: "Then why did you pull out the hair on someone's tail?"
Xiu Yan said aggrievedly: "He put his tail on my leg himself. I picked him up and was about to throw him to Qi Mo, but when I lifted him lightly, the hair fell off!"
Ji Nuan never expected that the beast that always looked as gentle as the breeze and the bright moon turned out to be such a sinister creature. He was so devastated inside!
He patted Xiu Yan's shoulder in comfort: "Alright, alright, just consider it as helping him. We won't bother with the hair-changing beast!"
Xiu Yan held the female cub's tender little paws tightly in his hand, nodded, and a cunning look flashed across his eyes.
