Ji Nuan finally understood what he was talking about. She chuckled awkwardly, pulled her little paw back from the big palm, and looked at the green mud surrounding the fire pit with some greed.

Just now she thought it was dug out from a whole piece of stone.

When calcined by fire, the green clay becomes a pure green color, smooth and shiny. If you don't know, you might think it is the finest jade.

After seeing Qingni, Xiu Yan and Ji Nuan said goodbye to the old lady and walked out of the cave.

Ji Nuan was holding a piece of green mud in her hand, which was used as the bottom of the fire pit. The mud was still warm and felt as smooth as the surface, and it was very comfortable to touch.

The beautiful green mud made Ji Nuan unable to let it go.

The ears of the little female cub trembled slightly, and her round cat pupils curved into two beautiful crescents because of happiness. Her furry tail swung lightly behind her. Her cute appearance made the beast want to hold her in his arms and rub her.

Seeing her expression, Xiu Yan asked in a good mood: "Do you like it?"

Ji Nuan nodded her head with a smile: "Yeah, it's really beautiful!"

As he spoke, he grasped the mud block with his two little paws and broke it hard: "It's very solid. It should be able to be used to make bricks and tiles."

The tender little white claws turned red with a little force. Xiu Yan's eyebrows wrinkled slightly. He took the green mud block from her hand, turned his right hand into a sharp claw, and swung it down.

Ji Nuan looked at the green mud nervously, but saw only a few claw marks about one centimeter long left on the mud. Her rosy little mouth opened slightly, somewhat surprised at the hardness of the green mud.

She turned her head to look at Xiu Yan who had put away his claws: "Brother Xiu Yan, how much strength did you use just now?"

Amused by her surprised look, Xiu Yan chuckled and said, "Even if I use my full strength, I still can't pierce this green mud block in one go."

Ji Nuan looked at Xiu Yan with sparkling eyes, she was simply a lucky star!

Such a hard block of green mud would be too strong to be made into bricks and tiles. It seemed as if she saw a beautiful house waving at her.

Being stared at by the little female cub's shining cat eyes, Xiu Yan felt a little shy and turned his gaze to the green mud in his hand: "You want to use the green mud to make the bricks and tiles you mentioned?"

Ji Nuan looked away, her tone full of excitement that could not be concealed: "Yeah, I'm going to burn a lot of bricks and tiles, and then build a yard, so I don't have to worry about the cave collapsing anymore."

Xiu Yanjian raised his eyebrows slightly: "A yard? Is that for living?"

Ji Nuan nodded and began to describe it with her hands and feet dancing: "Yes, I want to build a big house with a kitchen, bedroom, living room, toilet, and a big kang. Then, when the fire is lit in the winter, I can sleep on the kang and not be afraid of getting frozen."

The excitement of owning her dream house made Ji Nuan a little too excited and she said a lot of terms that Xiu Yan couldn't understand.

However, he heard the last sentence, "Don't be afraid of being frozen in the cold season."

Is this thing called a house really so magical?

You should know that the most terrifying thing about the cold season is not only hunger, but also the cold. During every cold season, many cubs and females die from frostbite and illness, and even some orcs cannot avoid it.

If this house is really so magical...

Taking a look at the thin body of the little female cub, Xiu Yan's eyes lit up slightly.

He will definitely help the little female cub build a house, so that the little family should be able to spend the cold season safely.

"Brother Xiu Yan, do you know where the green mud is? Let's go and bring some back to make some daily necessities first." Ji Nuan looked at the tall orc beside her with sparkling eyes.

Xiu Yan nodded: "I can do it. The green mud is very heavy, you can't carry much. I'll carry it in a backpack, it will be quick."

Looking at her thin arms, Ji Nuan nodded consciously. She thought it would be a burden if she followed him.

After sending Ji Nuan back to the cave, Xiu Yan took two baskets to collect green mud.

Ji Nuan used a homemade broom to clear an area not far from the cave, and then moved a few flat stone slabs to lay on the ground.

She skillfully made a new backpack, put it on her back and walked towards the edge of the woods.

The firewood in the cave had been almost used up. Ji Nuan wanted to use the green mud to bake a batch of pots, bowls, pans, and other utensils to see what the success rate would be.

The beastmen here seldom use fire, so there were a lot of dead branches on the ground, and I picked up a basket of them effortlessly.

"Ji Nuan!" The little girl Ge Ye ran towards Ji Nuan with a lavender fruit the size of a basketball in her hand.

The clan leader uncle had just woken up. Although he couldn't get up yet, he didn't feel too much pain because of Ji Nuan's sharp tooth grass powder. He also ate a bowl of porridge made by Aunt Naima, and then fell asleep again.

Song Yu went out hunting today and specially went to the back mountain to pick a purple fruit for Ge Ye to play with. The purple fruit has a beautiful color, and when opened, it contains crystal clear small grains, which are the food that most birds like to eat.

Females like to remove the small grains from the purple fruit and use them to decorate caves. The color of the purple fruit can last for a year without changing, making it a very popular decoration among females.
