Living in the Beast World With a System - Chapter 151

Yuan Qi felt as though all his organs were trembling. He moved forward in awkward, matching steps.

He looked first at the little female standing beside him and finally let out a long breath. With careful hands, he slowly lifted the large leaf covering the stone pot.

As expected, a soft yellow glow shimmered within the brown medicinal liquid. That glow was the aura of Yellow-Rank Wu power.

His large hand trembled, and the leaf fell straight into the pot.

The beastman’s pupils contracted in an instant. His throat turned dry. He opened and closed his mouth several times before looking at the little female beside him in disbelief. “Wu Yue, you… you are a Wu…”

The final word was spoken so softly it almost sounded like a groan pulled from deep within his throat, yet everyone in the cave heard it clearly.

Wu.

A girl they thought only knew some basic herbs turned out to be a Wu.

At that moment, Teng Qian entered the cave and caught Yuan Qi’s words.

His whole body felt off. If this little female had really become a Wu, someone of high status, then all those times he teased her and called her lion head might bring him misfortune.

He could only hope the little female would overlook the foolish things he had done.

Wu Yue’s sooty face held a faint smile. She nodded. “I only broke through the day before I left the tribe.”

She pointed to the potion in the stone pot. “Hurry and give the Wu medicine to the beastman. My Wu power is still weak and will not last much longer.”

Wu medicine always had a time limit, like a shelf life.

If the Wu power evaporated, its effect would be completely different from when the power remained.

After speaking, she wiped her face with her hand. “I will wash up. Uncle Yuan Qi, I will leave the medicine to you.”

Then she turned and stepped out of the cave.

Wu Yue had left, but inside the cave the atmosphere burst into a frenzy.

The beastmen all rushed to the stone platform. From a meter away, they craned their necks toward the humble little stone pot.

“It really is Wu power!”

“Our tribe has another Wu now?” one beastman muttered with a silly grin.

The others looked lost, unable to tell if this was real.

“Could it be that after the little female came to our Snow Tiger Tribe and got enough to eat, she awakened her Wu power?”

One beastman mumbled, baffled.

“Nonsense! The females in the tribe eat well before they become adults. Why haven’t any of them awakened Wu power?”

“Who cares about food or not? The little female belongs to our Snow Tiger Tribe now. We have another Wu. Do you understand what that means?”

The beastmen froze. Silence spread through the cave.

Then sly laughter started echoing from every corner.

They looked around at each other, mischievous smiles creeping across their faces.

“I cannot wait to see how the other three tribes react when they hear we have another Wu.”

“Heh, I am looking forward to it too.”

“Roar, roar, roar! Awooo!”

“Having a Wu in the hunting party feels great. Mother will not have to worry about me getting hurt anymore.”

Just as the excitement died down, a clear and amused voice rang from the entrance. “You should still worry. My Wu power is weak. If you break your arm or leg, I cannot fix it.”
