Living in the Beast World With a System - Chapter 51

Could he already know I had mated with another male?

At that thought, Ye Duo had felt a surge of panic.

“Ye Duo, what is wrong with you? Are you just going to stand there and watch that wretched female seduce our male?”

Aya had growled lowly.

Hearing her say “our male” had sparked a wave of anger in Ye Duo’s heart.

Only she was worthy of being Yuan Lang the warrior’s female. Only she could bear his offspring.

Had there ever been another female in the tribe who could match the strength and status of such a powerful beast warrior?

With that thought, the panic had vanished completely. A smirk had curved her lips once again.

“Aya, what are you afraid of? That ugly and useless female? You do not actually believe a powerful warrior like Yuan Lang would look at her, do you?”

Her words had been laced with disdain.

Aya had paused, then slowly broken into laughter.

“Haha, you are right. Beast warriors like strong and capable females.”

Ye Duo had picked up the meat beside her and started walking toward the river where the feast was being prepared.

“So, we really do not need to worry about that weakling. What we need to watch out for are the females who are either muscular or skilled at gathering food.”

“Ye Duo, do not forget. After you become Yuan Lang’s first mate, you must help me become one of his mates too.”

Aya had spoken urgently.

Her body was not strong, although she was good at gathering food. But beast warriors rarely cared for wild greens.

What worried her most was that her father did not believe she was suitable to become Yuan Lang’s mate. He had said that, as a pure human, she would be bullied by his future partner.

But Ye Duo was also a pure human female.

Yuan Lang had always kept his distance from all the other females, yet he would exchange a few words with Ye Duo. The tribe believed Yuan Lang liked her, and that was why Aya had chosen to befriend her.

Meanwhile, Wu Yue, under the guidance of the system, had been busy handling the grass carp. She had no idea she had narrowly avoided being caught in another round of conflict between females.

“System, do you mean I need to chop off the entire fish head?” Wu Yue looked regretfully at the large head in her hand. She really liked eating fish heads.

The system answered with seriousness, “The head of this grass carp secretes a highly irritating fluid. That is why they go crazy when they smell blood. So, this fish head is not safe to eat. Cooking it only slightly reduces the effect. If eaten raw, it can easily lead to madness. Repeated exposure could result in organ failure and death.”

Wu Yue’s hand trembled slightly on the shell knife. Her smile had frozen.

“System, I honestly think it is good for beast warriors to eat wild greens occasionally. It helps prevent awkward problems like constipation.”

Sensing her hesitation, the system replied calmly, “And then tomorrow, the entire tribe will know that the new little female from the Snow Tiger Tribe gave the beast warrior a pot of bitter, green vegetable soup as a gift.”

It then sighed with deep concern.

“Rumors spread faster than tigers, dear host. Please think twice.”

Wu Yue pouted.

“Well, I think a reputation for being stingy is still better than a rumor that says the new female tried to poison the beast warrior.”

“…”

That wretched host actually had a point. The system had been left speechless.

So when Qing Hua and Qing Cao had come to invite Wu Yue to the clearing, and they saw that pot of green, sticky bitter vegetable soup, their expressions had instantly darkened. The color of their faces had become deeper than the soup itself.

“Yue, are you sure you want to give this to Yuan Lang?” Qing Hua’s face had been full of rejection.

Heavens knew whether that green, slimy substance was even edible. Would it end up killing someone?
