The silver hair grew more and more, and finally covered the whole body. The little lion cub...
No! The little silver wolf cub should be lying on the animal skin obediently. Ji Nuan and the witch doctor grandma stared at each other with disbelief.
The Watson tribe has never seen such a situation in all its years of inheritance.
Ji Nuan stroked the little fellow’s silver-white fur and murmured, “Isn’t this little cub a golden lion cub? How did he suddenly become a silver wolf cub?”
The witch doctor silently examined the cub's body and found nothing wrong.
Suddenly, Ji Nuan paused while stroking the cub's fur. She turned stiffly and looked at the witch doctor: "Do you think this little silver wolf is Prince Xiu Yan? Isn't Aunt Ge Rou from the Golden Lion clan?"
Although she was shocked by her bold idea, Ji Nuan somehow felt that she knew the truth.
He stood up and walked out: "I'm going to go find the clan leader and Uncle Xiuli and his family."
···
"What did you say?" Ge Rou jumped up from the beast skin instantly, rushed to Ji Nuan and grabbed her hand, her body even shaking with excitement.
Ji Nuan nodded and said, "You heard it right, the little lion cub has indeed turned into a little silver wolf. I thought that you, Aunt Rou, are from the Golden Lion clan, and Brother Xiu Yan used to be a silver wolf orc, so I wanted to ask you to go over and recognize it."
Ge Rou wiped the tears from her eyes and walked out with Ji Nuan in her arms: "Let's go now. If it's really my Xiu Yan bastard..."
Along the way, they found the chief of the Gexing tribe, and then gathered in the cave of the witch doctor Grandma.
The silver wolf cub on the beast skin is sleeping soundly, with its little belly rising and falling with its breathing. It looks so adorable, without any of the cold feeling of being transformed into an orc. It is just a furry little ball, with its little nose twitching occasionally, which is extremely cute.
As soon as Xiuli and Ge Xing entered the cave, they confirmed the identity of the little silver wolf. The smell on the little guy was definitely Xiu Yan.
Ge Rou tiptoed to the little silver wolf and carefully picked up the cub, fearing that she would wake him up.
They wrapped the little guy up with the animal skin they brought with them, and went back first, accompanied by the older son Xiuming.
Ji Nuan looked at Ge Rou's gradually receding figure reluctantly. The little guy had been with her for so many days, and Ji Nuan had already regarded the little guy as her only family in this world.
Now that she found out that the little guy was actually Xiu Yan, and that she would never be able to live with the kid again, Ji Nuan felt sad and depressed.
After Ge Rou walked away, Xiu Li asked the witch doctor, "Witch doctor, what's wrong with Xiu Yan?"
Ge Xing was amazed: "Yes, there has never been a beastman with two beast bodies in the tribe."
The witch doctor also shook his head in confusion: "This situation has never happened before, and I don't know what it is."
Ji Nuan looked at the witch doctor Ama: "I wonder if my dear... Brother Xiu Yan will turn into a golden lion-man. If the transformation is unstable and out of his control, it will be very troublesome in the future."
The beasts all nodded solemnly.
Ji Nuan sighed and handed the herbs wrapped in animal skin to Xiuli: "Uncle Xiuli, this is the herbs that the witch doctor grandma just prepared for Brother Xiuyan. Take some every day and boil it into potion to drink, and Brother Xiuyan's body will get better."
He nodded and took the herbs from Ji Nuan. His sharp wolf eyes flashed a rare softness: "Thank you, Shan cub. If you hadn't adopted Xiu Yan who turned into a little lion cub, I'm afraid we would have lost him by now."
Ji Nuan smiled and shook her head: "Don't say that, Uncle, hasn't Brother Xiu Yan helped me enough? I just did a small thing."
Nodding and saying goodbye to Ge Xing and the witch doctor, Xiuli hurried away with the herbs. The dead cub suddenly came back, and the surprise of finding it again made Xiuli, who was always serious and old-fashioned, reveal some rare emotions.
"Okay, it's useless for us to make random guesses here. We will know the answer after more observation. You guys should go too. I want to rest too." The witch doctor grandma waved her hand tiredly.
Ge Xing nodded, said goodbye and left.
Ji Nuan helped the witch doctor to lie down on the animal skin, and carefully instructed the beastmen guarding outside the cave to take good care of her. Then she dragged her tired body towards her own cave.
Just like when I left in the morning, there was no change in the cave. On the big stone bed was the cub's straw nest, and next to it were two large greasy leaves that wrapped the cuckoo beast.
Ji Nuan stood beside the bed in a daze for a while, then sighed softly and took the small grass nest off the bed and placed it in the corner of the cave.
She quickly made her bed, lay down on it and breathed a sigh of relief. It was so comfortable. Today's continuous escapes really made her almost exhausted.
From now on, whenever she sees snake beastmen, she will stay as far away as possible and never have any contact with them. She has a shadow in her heart.
That night, Ji Nuan fell into a dream filled with nostalgia and fear.
