Hearing footsteps, he raised his head in displeasure. What was going on with the orc guards? Since when could anyone casually enter the Shaman's cave?
"Shaman Ji Nuan?" But the sight of the visitor instantly dissolved his anger. Shaman Ji Nuan hadn't been gone for long—why had she returned?
Could it be something about the medicinal herbs that wasn't clear yet?
As the elder Shaman thought this, he stood up. Upon seeing the beast skin book cradled in her arms, his guess was further confirmed.
Ji Nuan playfully blinked her eyes. "I have a gift for the elder Shaman to thank you for teaching me about these precious herbs."
Then she pointed to a more spacious area inside. "Shall we go in and talk?"
The elder Shaman nodded in slight bewilderment and led Ji Nuan to the small clearing where they had sat previously.
"When traveling in the desert, knowing some medicinal herbs will help you survive better. It's nothing special," the elder Shaman said with a hearty wave of his hand.
