Chapter 1440: Chapter 1437: Maomao Running Wild
Even Maomao, who was just basking in the sun, jumped up and ran over with all four hooves.
Ji Nuan was escorted by the tribe members into the tribe, and the big guy Maomao was always rubbing against Ji Nuan’s side, ignoring Xiu Yan’s numerous white-eyed stares, refusing to leave.
Ji Nuan sat on a beast skin mat in the open space, Maomao very considerately lay behind her, serving as a backrest, soft and quite comfortable.
"Did everyone spend this cold season well?" Seeing familiar orcs, Ji Nuan’s mood was also very good.
Cao brought out a lot of dried meat and fruit with the females: "Shaman, we don’t have any fresh fruit yet, these are the dried fruits we dried before the cold season, they’re quite tasty as well."
Ji Nuan picked one up with a smile and stuffed it into her mouth: "Mm, it’s really delicious, quite sweet indeed."
After greeting the tribe members, Ji Nuan noticed a few orcs kneeling behind the beast crowd, led by a middle-aged orc: "Who are they?"
Shu then remembered there were guests yet to be sent off, quickly stepping forward: "Shaman, these are orcs from the tribe neighboring our territory, the one in front is Clan Leader Uncle."
Ji Nuan nodded, looking at the orcs: "Please stand up, I’m tired from the journey today, so I won’t stand."
Hearing this, the orcs dared not let Ji Nuan rise, quickly standing up, trembling.
After stepping forward again to pay respects to Ji Nuan, they were then escorted out of the tribe by Shu.
Far away from the open space, the middle-aged clan leader wiped the sweat off his forehead: "I really didn’t expect that the shaman would even be a female, amazing, Shu and the others are lucky indeed."
The beasts also nodded, indeed, the difference between a tribe blessed by a shaman and one not blessed was rather significant.
After introducing the old tribe’s members to the tribe members in the base, Ji Nuan announced Fu Yi’s leadership as a high-level evolved orc, bringing the tribe members an infinite sense of security.
After dinner, Ji Nuan and the members of the old tribe retired early for the night.
"These are the slave beasts you traded for?"
Early the next morning, after washing up, Ji Nuan stood on the steps of the wooden house, looking at the over one hundred strong slave beasts below, quite amazed.
This was her first time seeing slave beasts on this Beast World Continent, a stark contrast to the status of slave beasts on their previous continent, like heaven and earth.
Here, slave beasts truly exist akin to slaves, they are private property of the beasts who purchased them and can be beaten, scolded and traded at will.
Moreover, according to Shu and Luo Gan, once you become a slave beast, it is almost impossible to return to the status of a normal orc, even their remaining offspring continue to be slave beasts.
Generation after generation of slave beasts.
Ji Nuan does not like the slavery system, but in the East Continent and the South Continent, it has been practiced for thousands of years and cannot be changed overnight.
However, she might not be able to decide for others, but she certainly has a say in her own tribe.
The slave beasts looked at the petite female standing on the steps, who was the shaman of this tribe, their future master.
"Luo Gan, where are they staying now?"
The slave beasts looked filthy, and some of their beast skins couldn’t even cover important parts, causing Ji Nuan to furrow her brows.
Luo Gan stepped forward: "They didn’t have a place to stay when they arrived, so we let them dig a new cave themselves to live in."
