This year She Wu had just matured and transformed into an adult, still retaining somewhat of a cub's nature.
Back then, Ji Nuan was filthy dirty and skinny, still a half-orc, not fond of talking and not good at integrating with the tribe members.
Now, Ji Nuan was fair and well-groomed, more aesthetically pleasing than the females of the tribe. Even the Orc-like ears and tails, usually looked down upon, became appealing.
Above all, she had located various food sources for the tribe, discovered that the Fruit of Divine Punishment could preserve hunted game and certain wild vegetables.
More importantly, the current Ji Nuan was the disciple of the Tribal Shaman, recognized and proclaimed by Grandma Shaman herself as the next shaman once the winter ends.
Even the food she prepares was tastier than the females' of the tribe. Hence, the Orcs no longer had much regard for Ji Nuan's half-orc status. Some Orcs even hoped to become her partner.
And She Wu was one of them.
