Living in the Beast World With a System - Chapter 53

There was an old saying that one should not speak ill after receiving a favor. It made some sense.

Looking at the empty stone pot in front of him and the skinny little female crouched beside it, Yuan Lang’s long-extinguished conscience suddenly stirred.

He reached out, cut a piece from the large chunk of meat in front of him, and tossed it into the little female’s stone pot. “This is for you.”

Don’t get clingy just because this general ate your wild greens paste. This general is returning the favor, so now we are even.

However, the little female froze for a moment. Then she took the piece of meat out of the pot and placed it back on the large leaf in front of them.

“I can’t take your meat. You might not know me. I am…”

Yuan Lang frowned and stared at the lion-headed little female in front of him. “To be honest, I really do not want to know who you are.”

Wu Yue: “…”

What the hell? That look in Yuan Lang’s eyes was clearly guarded. What was that supposed to mean?

Does he think I have a thing for him?

Ugh… I suddenly feel the urge to roll my eyes like a drama heroine. What is wrong with this guy? Imagining things is a sickness. He needs help!

She could not be bothered with manners anymore. She said directly, “I’m new to the tribe, so I temporarily stayed in the mountain cave you used before. Today’s wild greens paste was my way of thanking you.”

She finished all in one breath, then took out a small palm-sized bundle. “These are herbs I gathered myself. I already turned them into powder. This is also a thank-you gift.”

Then she let out a breath and added, “Thanks for your cave. That’s all. I won’t disturb your meal any further. We’re leaving.”

She stood up as she spoke and took Qing Hua and Qing Cao with her as she left.

It was only after the three figures disappeared into the crowd that the three big cats snapped out of it.

Teng Qian and Teng Kun instantly clutched each other and burst into laughter.

“General, were you just imagining things a bit too much?”

Teng Kun chuckled. “Looks like that little female just came to thank you. You were reading too much into it.”

I can live with being embarrassed by myself, but hearing you two say it out loud like this? Do I not care about my dignity?

A while later, Yuan Lang sat by the fire in a good mood, roasting meat. Beside him, the two were huddled together with bruised faces, trembling.

Why?

They were all tigers. Why could the two of them still not beat the general even when working together?

“Yuan Lang…” A sweet and gentle voice rose near the fire. In contrast to Yuan Lang’s expression darkening instantly, Teng Qian and Teng Kun turned their sparkling eyes to look.

“Oh… That little female’s voice is really nice. Wait, what the hell!”

Seeing the bulky figure in front of them, Teng Qian and Teng Kun clutched each other and quickly shuffled away to the other fire pit. Facing the bewildered beastmen there, they laughed.

“Brothers, how about we join you guys instead? Is that alright?”

One of the beastmen cheerfully waved his hand. “Of course. If you want roasted meat, cook it yourself. If you want raw meat, tear it off yourself.”

Compared to the cheerful atmosphere there, Yuan Lang’s side felt like winter had arrived early.

Ye Duo looked pitifully at the tall and strong beastman opposite her. Tears welled up in her eyes.

“Yuan Lang, what is wrong with you? Why won’t you talk to me anymore since you came back? Did I do something wrong?”

At that moment, Yuan Lang felt like ten thousand wild horses were stampeding through his mind. He thought of the female across from him, whose body was just as sturdy as his own.

He felt a wave of discomfort.

The original host actually wanted to pair with a female like this?

Absolutely not. I firmly refuse.
