Returning Home in Glory (Continued)

Shu Ming: "What do you want to pick? We'll pick it and bring it back to you; you don't need to lift a finger."

Jian Mo smiled and said, "It's not that we're lacking supplies, it's just that we feel we can't waste time."

Jian Mo insisted, Shu Ming had no choice but to say, "Wait two more days. We'll prepare some supplies and throw you a farewell dinner. Why don't you go back the day after tomorrow? Chief Wu Jiong should come to pick you up then. If he doesn't, we'll send you back."

Jian Mo: "Let's skip the farewell dinner and stuff, it's too much trouble."

Shu Ming waved his hands repeatedly. "No trouble at all. It's really not easy for our clan leader to escape with his life this time. We should definitely celebrate. Besides, everyone admires and is grateful to you. We just want to celebrate with you and get closer to you."

As he spoke, Shu Ming sighed with a touch of melancholy, "If we don't get close this time, it will be hard to find another opportunity once you return to the Riverside Tribe."

Since he had put it that way, Jian Mo had no choice but to agree.

On the day of the farewell party, the people of the Qin Sea Tribe began preparations from the morning.

Almost every tribe in the orc world is very interested in celebrations, but it's clear that the Qin Sea Tribe takes this farewell party exceptionally seriously.

Jian Mo felt a mix of emotion and pride as she watched everyone bring out various kinds of fresh meat, smoked meat, fresh fruit, dried fruit, and fruit wine, piling them up in the open space.

This must be the greatest praise the Qin Sea Tribe could give him for his medical skills.

However, Jian Mo felt truly proud to have been able to save Shu Guang under these circumstances.

After examining Shu Guang, Jian Mo went to help out at the farewell party.

The little ones in the tribe ran around, especially the chubby little bear, who followed behind every adult on all fours, joining in the fun.

When they saw Jian Mo approaching, the little ones rushed over and surrounded him.

Jian Mo picked up the soft little bear, rubbed its head, and stroked its round ears. There wouldn't be any more bears to pet after returning to the Riverside Tribe, but the thought of having all sorts of feline and canine creatures made Jian Mo feel a little happier.

In the evening, the people of the Qin Sea Tribe lit a bonfire.

Their terrain is more rugged, and the people are more unrestrained; even their campfires are much bigger.

The fiery red flames danced in the night sky, reaching as high as the trees, instantly creating a lively atmosphere.

Everyone crowded around Jian Mo, wanting to grill meat for him.

The roasted meat from the Qin Sea Tribe is seasoned with a lot of garlic powder and salt, which is quite unique and tastes good.

Jian Mo thought the first two pieces were alright, until everyone piled a huge amount of meat and alcohol onto his plate, making him feel incredibly full.

He wanted to politely decline, but he simply couldn't refuse the warm and genuine smiles on their faces.

After eating meat and drinking wine, many of the orcs in the Qin Sea Tribe reverted to their animal forms.

These enormous bears danced around the campfire, their round bellies and rear ends swaying back and forth. Looking at the campfire, which was taller than a tree, Jian Mo finally understood why they had lit such a huge bonfire.

If the campfire were any smaller, the sight of the giant bear dancing around it would look extremely bizarre.

Of course, the current situation isn't exactly normal either.

As soon as Jian Mo looked up, she had an absurd feeling that she might have eaten too many poisonous mushrooms.

As they continued jumping, Shu Guang also appeared.

He had just had surgery, his stomach was still bald, and he couldn't drink alcohol, so he could only sit by the campfire eating some meat and watching everyone dance.

As they watched, they even tried to sell their own tribe's orcs to Jian Mo, poaching her members incredibly quickly.

Jian Mo looked at Xiongxiong, who was lying sprawled out beside the campfire, somewhat drunk, and shook her head with a smile.

The people of the Qin Sea Tribe guessed quite accurately; the day after the farewell party, Wu Jiong brought people to pick up Jian Mo.

He had heard from somewhere that the Qin Sea Tribe was poaching his men, so he specifically used his beast form to communicate with the beastmen of the Qin Sea Tribe.

The giant bear is slightly larger than the giant wolf, but it is far less agile and less adept at using an opponent's force against them.

In the end, the giant wolf defeated all the giant bears of the Qin Sea Tribe. Even Shu Ming, who had transformed into a giant bear, lay panting on the side, saying to the giant wolf in a deep voice, "I guess only my brother can beat you."

The giant wolf gently touched Jian Mo's chest with its muzzle, sniffing his scent, and said coldly, "Even your brother can't beat me. If you don't believe me, you can have a match at this year's Hunting Gathering."

Giant Bear: "My brother was seriously injured, and he might not be able to fight again by this year's Hunting Gathering."

Giant Wolf: "Then next year."

Jian Mo opened her arms and hugged the giant wolf's muzzle, speaking up for the wolf, "Hahaha, it should be about time next year."

The giant bear readily agreed, "Let my brother compete."

Lying in the cave, Shu Guang was unaware that Shu Ming had already accepted next year's challenge for him. He was having the people in the tribe take stock of the supplies, preparing to send them to Jian Mo.

Jian Mo saved Shu Guang's life, and Shu Guang had his tribesmen give Jian Mo a large amount of garlic powder, animal hides, and animal meat. In addition, there were two large bundles of Long-Tailed Beast tendons—the kind of tendons that can be used to make sutures.

Jian Mo felt that the surgery didn't require so many supplies and wanted to return some to Shu Guang.

Giant Bear Shu Guang insisted, "My life is far more valuable than these supplies, and the future of our Qin Sea Tribe is far more valuable than these things. Doctor Jian Mo, please accept them. I'm really sorry to have taken up so much of your time."

Jian Mo: "It's nothing. Treating the sick and saving lives is what I should do."

The giant bear said, "I won't say much more. As long as I, Shu Guang, am alive, you will always be a friend of our Qin Sea Tribe, a friend of mine, Shu Guang. If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, just let me know."

After a pause, the giant bear, with its Wu Jiong cold gaze, said, "If you ever want to live in our Qin Sea Tribe, just let us know, and we'll come pick you up anytime."

Jian Mo grabbed Wu Jiong's wrist and laughed, "That day probably won't come. I'm going to grow old with Wu Jiong."

Everyone understood and started to jeer from the sidelines.
