Living in the Beast World With a System - Chapter 122
Wu Yue wore an expression of cold indifference. “I just think your rhyming is pretty good, system. One experience point a day? Try it yourself. What do you think this is, taking a dump? Just push a little and it comes out?”
“Host, you are now a fair and delicate little fairy. Is it really appropriate to talk about pushing out a dump like that? It sounds awful.”
Wu Yue gave it a sideways glance. “Thanks for the compliment. But a fairy like me is not exactly welcome in this beast world.”
“How could that be? Have you not noticed that handsome warrior Yuan Lang is very taken with you?”
The system’s tone was laced with sleaze.
Wu Yue wanted nothing more than to spray a mouthful of salty soda straight into its face. “That guy looks at me like I am dog crap. Do you think I am blind?”
The system stared off in the direction of Yuan Lang’s cave with the expression of a father despairing over his foolish child. It looked on solemnly. Kid, even this Father cannot save you with emotional intelligence like that. The whole ‘tease the one you like’ strategy is seriously outdated now…
At that moment, Yuan Lang was not just frustrated. His whole tiger self was out of sorts.
He stood there facing Ye Duo, who looked shy and demure. Inside, a whole herd of grass mud horses was galloping back and forth in his mind, neighing in pure mockery.
The chief looked seriously at the strongest young beastmen of the tribe. “I do not care what happened before. Right now, Ye Duo is the most important female in our Snow Tiger Tribe. You cubs are the future of the tribe. I want you all to take turns guarding Ye Duo during the ritual. You must make sure no other tribe’s beastmen get near her. Do you understand?”
The beastmen all responded with pure excitement. “Understood.”
Their gazes toward Ye Duo were blazing hot. Their hearts yipped with joy. Ye Duo looked even more beautiful now. Her temperament had softened too.
If she becomes the tribe’s Wu, and one of us becomes her mate… hoo hoo hoo!
Their blood boiled just thinking about it.
The chief’s gaze turned serious as he looked at Yuan Lang, who stood there with an indifferent expression.
“Yuan Lang, did you hear what I said?”
Yuan Lang lifted his eyes to glance at Ye Duo, but his gaze quickly shifted like it had been burned. “There are already so many excellent warriors guarding her. What is the point of adding me?”
The chief screamed inwardly. Of course it matters, you damn blockhead!
He glanced at the excited young beastmen now circling Ye Duo and chatting her up.
The chief threw an arm around Yuan Lang’s shoulder and walked him out of the cave. When they had put some distance between themselves and the others, the chief gave him a meaningful slap on the shoulder.
“Yuan Lang, I know you do not like Ye Duo, but you don’t understand. When those three filthy tribes came over today, I was watching carefully. And let me tell you, those bastards did not come here with good intentions. Did you see the warriors they brought? Each one better looking than the last. Obviously, they came hoping to hook up with our females. Now that they know our Wu apprentice is a female, you can bet Ye Duo is their number one target. Among our young warriors, you are the best-looking one we have. If you do not step up, who will?”
The chief wore a face that said if Yuan Lang refused, then he clearly did not care about the tribe.
Back in the cave, the young beastmen who had been sweet-talking Ye Duo were all silent.
Chief, are you trying to say we all look too ugly to count as real beasts?
