Living in the Beast World With a System - Chapter 127

Thinking about how wildly he had behaved today, she refused to dwell on it any further.

“Congratulations on becoming a silver-rank beastman.” Wu Yue looked up at the tall beastman beside her. At that moment, a clearly defined silver mark shimmered on his firm forearm.

Yuan Lang gave a light laugh. “Just saying congratulations is not enough. I have a favor to ask.”

Wu Yue blinked. “What is it?”

“In a few days, I will be heading out with Father and the others to hunt feral beasts. Could I trouble you to prepare some herbal powders for us?”

His expression was serious. There was no trace of teasing in his tone.

Wu Yue thought for a moment and nodded. “Of course. As long as you do not mind my herbs being a bit simple.”

She then looked at him. “How long will you all be gone? And how many beastmen are going with you?”

Yuan Lang’s deep gaze rested on her. “Around ten beast warrior males. We will keep hunting until we secure at least one beast core. The exact time it will take is uncertain. You know that not every feral beast has a core inside.”

Wu Yue nodded. She understood that well.

“Ding~ New mission: Successfully join Yuan Lang’s hunting team and obtain one beast core.

Mission reward: 100 points.

Strengthening Pill (Intermediate) x1.

Dear host, do not be careless. A mountain of rewards is waiting for you ahead~”

Wu Yue’s mouth twitched. “Oh? Oh my foot, you annoying thing! The beastmen are going to hunt feral beasts, and you want me to go along? Are you sure you are not just offering me up as fresh meat for the beasts?”

The system whimpered, biting a corner of its imaginary blanket. “Host, this is not my fault. System missions are just this willful.”

The young female’s face shifted to an odd expression. Yuan Lang frowned and leaned closer. “What’s wrong?”

Staring at the beastman’s handsome face so close to hers, Wu Yue forced out a dry laugh. “Well, I just wanted to ask… would it be possible for me to go with you all this time?”

Yuan Lang’s brows knitted instantly. He looked at the small female before him with puzzlement.

“Hunting feral beasts is very dangerous. Even we males cannot guarantee a safe return.”

Wu Yue let out another awkward laugh. “”That is exactly why you should bring me. Actually, I know a fair number of herbs, but the plants around the tribe are too limited. This trip could be a good chance for me to find new herbs. While we are at it, I could help treat any wounded beastmen. Of course, if the harvest turns out to be generous and you end up with extra beast cores, it would be amazing if I could have one,” she added with a sheepish chuckle.

Yuan Lang frowned. “My father is leading this hunt. I will ask him. If there is an answer, I will come find you tomorrow.”

Wu Yue nodded. “Alright. Thank you.”

Yuan Lang suddenly grinned, the serious expression melting away. “Little female, could you make some tasty wild greens for me? My mouth is so bland it feels like it is growing feathers.”

Wu Yue’s mouth twitched. “Feathers? Where are they? Let me take a look.”

Yuan Lang froze at her words. His eyes instinctively dropped to the area between his legs.

Wu Yue followed his gaze. When her eyes landed on the spot covered by the beast hide skirt, her face instantly turned bright red. She clenched her teeth. “I meant the kind of bird that flies!”

Yuan Lang awkwardly rubbed his nose. “Yes yes, the flying kind.”

“Little female, ha! We finally found you.”

The cheerful voice of another beastman broke the awkward silence between them.

Several golden-haired beast warrior males approached with broad smiles.

They were carrying several beautifully patterned pieces of beast hide. Once they reached Wu Yue’s campfire, they sat down on the ground as if they had arrived at home.
