Living in the Beast World With a System - Chapter 123

Yuan Lang’s tiger face was clouded and dark. “So, now I have to sell my looks?”

The chief chuckled. “Relax. Just keep Ye Duo steady. Do not let the other tribes lure her away. That is all.”

He patted Yuan Lang’s shoulder seriously and lowered his voice. “Don’t worry. I planted someone among the young warriors. He will help you. He will make sure that lusty female does not take advantage of you.”

Yuan Lang sneered. “Thanks so much.”

The chief waved him off like it was nothing. “No need to thank me. This is my job as chief.”

Yuan Lang stared blankly. Was that supposed to be a compliment?

Seeing his expression still looked grim, the chief gave a few awkward laughs before vanishing. “I have high hopes for you. It’s all in your hands now.”

Watching the chief disappear like he was being chased by wild dogs, Yuan Lang felt his brain buzzing.

“General, what is so great about that cranky old chief anyway?”

Teng Qian popped up from the side, with Teng Kun close behind as always.

Yuan Lang, who had been sulking a moment ago, instantly lit up. He looked at Teng Qian with a serious expression. “Vice General Teng!”

Though it had been a while since they were addressed so formally, both Teng Qian and Teng Kun instinctively straightened up on command.

They answered solemnly. “We are here!”

Their youthful voices rang out in unison. Yuan Lang nodded in satisfaction. “Now I have a task of great importance to the entire Snow Tiger Tribe. Can you handle it?”

The two beastmen were practically shaking with blood-pumping excitement. “Please give the order, General. We would risk our lives to carry it out.”

Yuan Lang laughed on the inside. Such hot-blooded young cubs.

But on the outside, he kept a straight face. “Beastmen from other tribes want our tribe to lose the Wu legacy forever. Your task is to protect Ye Duo. Do you understand?”

Teng Qian: “…”

Teng Kun: “…”

Looking at their expressions, as if they had just been hit in the face with a fart, Yuan Lang sighed. “I know what you are thinking. Don’t worry. You won’t have to offer yourselves up. You just need to make sure Ye Duo has no chance to bond with warriors from other tribes. That’s all.”

Teng Qian eyed him suspiciously. “General, is this something the chief told you to do?”

Yuan Lang’s face stiffened, but being thick-skinned had its perks. “It is only one of my many duties.”

His tone turned serious. “I also have another important responsibility. I must protect all the females in our tribe. So, you tell me. Would you rather guard just one Ye Duo, or be responsible for guarding all of them?”

The two tigers glanced at each other and nodded immediately. “We’ll guard Ye Duo.”

Damn it. One Ye Duo is annoying enough. Watching a whole herd of them? That would be unbearable.

Yuan Lang nodded. “Good. While keeping an eye on her, you also need to give her the impression that you like her. You remember how the centurion from the Third Battalion used to talk about chasing girls? I recall you two were always all ears. Well, now is the time to put that knowledge to work. Captivate Ye Duo completely. Do not give other tribe warriors even a sliver of opportunity. Got it?”

The two tigers drooped like withered grass. “Oh~”

Yuan Lang waved them off. “Go now. I believe in you both. You will definitely succeed.”

As the two beastmen slunk away, Yuan Lang flashed a cunning grin and melted into the shadows.
