Living in the Beast World With a System - Chapter 47

Beside her, Qing Cao was looking at the two bawling tigers with sparkling eyes. “Yue, look at them. They are so strong and majestic. If I could become the mate of someone like them, it would be the greatest blessing the Beast God could give me.”

Qing Cao’s voice was not quiet, nor did it need to be. All the nearby females wore the same lovestruck expressions.

But because her voice rang out after everyone else’s, it stood out more.

Teng Qian and Teng Kun were heartbroken. In this cruel new world, there was not a single decent girl in sight.

Even though they disliked what they saw, that did not stop their pride from rising when they were complimented by a female.

Their round ears twitched, and the two big cats turned smugly to look at the female who had spoken.

When she saw the two tigers glance her way, Qing Cao instantly squealed and hid behind Wu Yue.

The tigers turned to look and saw what looked like a withered bean sprout, their massive tiger eyes were filled with barely concealed pity.

This female must have come from a really poor household. How else could she end up looking like that?

Her hair was a mess, her face was waxy yellow, her cheeks were sunken… The two tigers could not help but shudder.

Mama, she looks like a ghost.

Wu Yue, who truly did resemble a ghost in that moment, stood silently and could only manage a blank stare. “…”

What is that expression from these two clumsy tigers?

Am I really so terrible to look at? Am I some kind of unspeakable human-shaped weapon?

Wu Yue had not seen a mirror in ages. She had no idea how shocking her golden lion mane hairstyle looked on her small, bony frame.

A deafening roar suddenly echoed from behind. It was the chief, calling the tribespeople together.

The warriors who had returned with the salt transformed into great white tigers. They sat in a wide circle on the ground before the chief and the Wu.

The dark-skinned old Wu walked forward with steady steps. He raised the Wu staff that glowed with soft, blue power and began chanting a series of mysterious incantations.

As he lifted the staff higher and higher, the glow of power surrounding it grew stronger and more radiant.

At last, with a low shout from the Wu, a wave of blue power swept out and wrapped around every warrior who had returned with salt.

Watching the warriors as they were shrouded in a veil of shimmering blue energy, Wu Yue felt as though her eyes and soul had been struck.

“Host, this is the Wu’s blessing. It is a basic skill every Wu possesses.”

“It is so beautiful…” At that moment, the mysterious power of the blessing fully ignited Wu Yue’s determination to become a Wu herself.

On the other side, Yuan Lang and the two tigers were equally shaken.

Yuan Lang had inherited the original body’s memories. This was his first time receiving a blessing. As he felt the small wounds on his body begin to heal, his heart began to race without him realizing it.

Teng Qian and Teng Kun stared, wide-eyed, as the cuts on their arms tingled and then disappeared. The bigger wounds only improved slightly, but even that left them dumbfounded.

Was this the legendary power of a Wu?

“This is a Wu’s blessing. That elder is the tribe’s Wu. These large blessings consume a great deal of power, so they are only performed during major ceremonies or special occasions,” Yuan Lang explained quietly.

At that moment, Teng Qian and Teng Kun felt a deep awe rise in their hearts for the world they now had to live in.

The agitation they had been feeling faded, and both began to seriously consider their future in this place.

“Warriors, under the protection of the Beast God, you have returned safely. You have brought back the salt that gives our people life. You are the heroes of the Snow Tiger Tribe!”

The Wu’s voice, amplified by the power of the blessing, rang out with strength and depth. It reached every ear in the tribe.
