Living in the Beast World With a System - Chapter 215

Wu Yue’s lips twitched as she reached out to catch the blue crystal that had been tossed at her. She turned it over in her palm while laughing and looked at him. “You, big tiger, are becoming more and more tsundere. You act just like a bashful young female.”

Although she corrected herself at the end, it made no difference to the three beastmen. The term “young female” might have been unfamiliar to the local beastmen, but to them, it was all too familiar.

Teng Qian, who had just been compared to a young female, gave her an annoyed glare. “If I were a female, then you would be a male.”

A real man!

Wu Yue laughed mischievously and did not argue with him. She lowered her head to examine the crystal she had been playing with. The dark blue crystal looked somewhat murky and was not very shiny.

Yuan Lang chuckled and reached out to poke her palm, sending a tingling itch through her skin. “This crystal tastes pretty good. Want to try it?”

Wu Yue looked at him in surprise. “You can eat this thing?”

She glanced around and said with some astonishment, “Have you all been eating these crystals these past few days?”

Yuan Lang only smiled and did not answer her question. He kept his eyes on the crystal in her hand. “Try it and see.”

Wu Yue picked up the crystal and was just about to toss it into her mouth when she caught a glimpse of the gleeful look on Teng Qian’s face that he had not hidden fast enough.

Ha. So, the three little tricksters are teaming up to mess with me?

She raised the crystal to her lips and lightly touched it with the tip of her tongue.

She nodded vaguely. “Hmm. The taste is… wait, what?”

She smacked her lips and looked at the crystal in disbelief.

Without any more persuasion from the three of them, she tossed it straight into her mouth.

Immediately, a very familiar taste spread across her tongue.

Wu Yue stared at Yuan Lang in shock. “This is why you wanted me to try it?”

Yuan Lang lifted his brows slightly. “Naturally. You did not think I was up to something bad, did you?”

Wu Yue gave a dry laugh. “How could I say that? A powerful beastman warrior like you could crush me with just one finger. How could you possibly have any bad intentions?”

After speaking, she looked at him excitedly. “This is salt, is it not? It has to be salt!”

That bitter and salty taste was unmistakably salt.

Yuan Lang nodded. “Judging by the taste, it should be.”

Wu Yue’s eyes lit up with excitement. “So, this whole cave is filled with salt crystals? That means our Snow Tiger Tribe will never have to travel far to trade for salt again.”

She looked eagerly at the three beastmen. “How did you figure out these crystals were salt? Did you really eat them?”

No sooner had she finished speaking than the cave fell into silence.

Wu Yue looked at Yuan Lang, puzzled. “Is this another one of those things that cannot be talked about?”

What she did not see was that Teng Qian, not far away, was frantically making eye signals at the other two, his eyes full of embarrassment.

Yuan Lang leaned close, his handsome face wearing an expression that said he wanted to speak but could not. “This really is not the best place to talk about it.”

Not the best place?

Wu Yue had always been good at picking out key points.

She leaned in closer to Yuan Lang, her posture slightly sneaky. “Then let us go somewhere private and talk?”

Yuan Lang looked at her with deep eyes. “In a pitch-black cave like this, are you sure you are not planning something unspeakable?”
