Living in the Beast World With a System - Chapter 15

Qing Cao giggled and said, “Listen to my sister. When we start gathering later, stay by my side. There are not many edible wild vegetables in the Jidi Forest. I may not be as strong as my sister, but I know more wild vegetables than she does.”

Her words swept away the earlier gloom and were now filled with pride.

Wu Yue nodded obediently. “Alright, I’ll just stick with you today.”

It felt like she had latched onto a little sturdy thigh.

Along the way, the surrounding females chattered excitedly. The atmosphere was lively and full of energy.

From time to time, a female carrying her own beast hide would run over to greet Wu Yue and ask her questions.

Their eyes were filled with curiosity. There was no trace of malice or hidden intent.

Since she would be living here for a long time, Wu Yue was happy to build good relationships with them. As they talked, the sense of familiarity between them gradually deepened.

Several females had already invited Wu Yue to join them for the next gathering trip.

Qing Cao, who stood nearby, puffed out her chest proudly. “With me guiding Yue, you can all forget about it.”

The surrounding females burst into laughter. “Exactly! With Qing Cao here, Yue’s little palm-sized pouch will definitely be packed full.”

Wu Yue glanced down at the woven pouch tied around her waist. It was the size of a basket from her previous life. She fell silent.

Whose palm is that big? If you’re so sure, go ahead and show me!

A beast’s roar suddenly echoed from up ahead and swept through the entire foraging group.

The team, which had just been moving forward, came to an immediate halt.

Wu Yue looked ahead and saw the half-beast female at the front raising her enormous tiger claw high while speaking.

Qing Cao tugged on Wu Yue’s back skirt. “Mother said we’ll gather here today.”

With that, she pulled Wu Yue off to the side. “Let me tell you, this is a spot we often use for gathering. I know a place nearby with loads of wild vegetables.”

Wu Yue’s mouth twitched as she finally tore her gaze away from the massive tiger claw.

Sure enough, in the beast world, nothing was impossible.

She had just finished mocking the phrase about her pouch being palm-sized, and now reality had delivered a harsh slap.

Following behind Qing Cao, the two of them ran toward an area where more females had gathered.

That place was already crowded with several older-looking females. Large beast hides were spread out at their feet. Their hands moved so quickly they left afterimages, and the wild vegetables around them were disappearing visibly.

Wu Yue suddenly felt a strange sense of heartache.

This level of hand speed… only a man who had been single in my homeland for many years could match it.

“Yue, what are you spacing out for? Hurry and gather. We can’t stay outside too long. It’s dangerous.”

Qing Cao’s voice came from beside her, sounding slightly anxious.

Wu Yue quickly removed her woven pouch and began gathering the wild vegetables on the ground that resembled bitter greens.

These wild vegetables tasted similar to bitter greens, too. They carried a bitter flavor, although it was not as strong.

Still, Wu Yue decided to name them bitter greens.

Don’t ask why. It was just easier to remember.

Looking at the females whose fingernails were packed with dirt, Wu Yue curled her fingers in frustration. The ground where these bitter greens grew was quite hard.

She had only picked a small handful when her fingers began to ache intensely.

She let out a silent sigh.

Why did I have to transmigrate? What difference is there between this weak body and my body back in modern times?

“The difference is that this body has a longer lifespan.”

The system’s mechanical voice suddenly rang out. It nearly scared Wu Yue into dropping the bitter greens in her hand.
