Living in the Beast World With a System - Chapter 128

The leading beastman had a big smile on his face, and the look he gave Wu Yue was unusually intense.

“Little female, do you still remember me?”

Wu Yue looked awkward. “You are…?”

The beastmen from the Wild Lion Tribe nearby burst out laughing and gave the beastman a few hearty slaps on the shoulder. “Little female, this guy is the one you saved last time. He was bitten by a snake beast.”

A smile finally appeared on Wu Yue’s face. “So, it was you. Last time, because your injury was on your thigh, I didn’t get to see your face.”

The beastman scratched his head in embarrassment. “I’ve been looking for you for a long time. The tribe said the one who saved me looked a lot like a female beastman, but I couldn’t find you anywhere. I just asked someone from your tribe and finally found out it was you. Little female, you’re even more beautiful than they described. But you’re a bit too skinny. You should eat more meat.”

Wu Yue said nothing.

Are you here to thank me or insult me on behalf of the entire Wild Lion Tribe?

What do you mean by ‘looks a lot like a female beastman’?

That unpleasant comment immediately reminded her of what Teng Qian had previously called her when he used the insult “lion head.”

“Heh. Well, thank you very much.”

The beastman chuckled again and scratched his head. “No need to be polite. You saved my life. Repaying you is only right.”

Then he took the beast hides from the hands of the other beastmen and laid them all down in front of Wu Yue.

“These are the hides I got from hunting.”

His face turned serious. “Thank you for saving me.”

Wu Yue was just about to refuse when Yuan Lang suddenly pressed down on her small hand. He smiled at the Wild Lion Tribe beastman. “Since it is a gift of thanks, Yue will accept it.”

The beastman looked surprised and glanced at Wu Yue. “Kind and clever little female, your partner turns out to be a powerful beast warrior. That is quite unexpected.”

Wu Yue opened her mouth to say something, but the beastman’s next sentence shoved her words right back down her throat.

“I was planning to ask the chief if I could take you as my second mate.”

His face was full of disappointment.

The beastmen beside him also looked at Wu Yue with regret. “That’s such a shame. This guy is the chief’s son. His cultivation speed is amazing. After this tribe ritual, he’ll become a silver-rank beastman.”

Wu Yue let out a cheerful laugh and latched onto Yuan Lang’s arm with a bright smile. “That really is a pity. My partner will only ever have one female, and he is already a silver-rank beastman.”

She was absolutely furious.

If I hadn’t just washed my face this morning, I would have started wondering if my forehead had ‘I want to be a second wife’ written across it.

Ever since I came to this beast world, people have been throwing second-wife status at me nonstop.

What kind of messed-up society is this? Since when did being a second wife become some kind of glamorous profession?

As she clung to his arm, Yuan Lang felt the warm pressure of her hand. His heart was being gently, and then not so gently, kneaded by a pair of invisible little hands. It raced and tightened.

Even though he tried his best to stay calm, the heat rising in his face betrayed him.

Damn it. He, the mighty, noble, and handsome Yuan Lang, was actually blushing?

How could something so soft and feminine happen to him?

After receiving a whole pile of gifts and sending off the Wild Lion Tribe warriors who had basically stabbed her pride, Wu Yue finally let go of Yuan Lang’s arm.

“Sorry about that. Those beastmen were just too irritating, so I told them you were my mate.”
