Living in the Beast World With a System - Chapter 55

The females who had spoken with Yuan Lang before all turned their hopeful eyes toward him when they heard his words.

“Really? Anyone who has spoken with you can become your mate?”

Teng Qian and Teng Kun forgot all about their food. They rushed to Yuan Lang’s side at once, ready to defend his chastity with their lives.

“Each one of you is dreaming.”

The gathered females understood the meaning behind Yuan Lang’s words. They had only been holding onto vague little hopes. Now that the truth was clear, they gave up and turned to enjoy the drama unfolding in front of them.

“Yuan Lang, all the female beast warriors in the tribe already have mates, and they are much older than you. Who else but me is qualified to be your mate?”

Ye Duo spoke with emotion. This was how she had always convinced herself.

But the beastman’s cold expression was like the cruelest mockery.

“It does not matter who is qualified. What matters is that it will not be you.”

On the side, Wu Yue, who was enjoying the gossip, almost jumped up to applaud. This beastman was impressive. He was so direct, not holding back even a little.

His tongue was sharp. It was satisfying to watch him shut others down, but being on the receiving end must be rough. I am definitely staying far away from him in the future.

“Is there anything else? If not, move aside. You are blocking my light.”

Wu Yue looked up. “…”

It was pitch black all around. What light?

Love is a light… and it is making you panic in green?

“Yuan Lang, you are a male. How can you talk to a female like that?”

A roar came from the side. A male voice shouted in anger. A half-beast near the fire glared at Yuan Lang, whose expression remained calm.

Yuan Lang tilted his head and sneered. “If you like Ye Duo so much, then go and mate with her. You two already mated, did you not?”

Wu Yue quietly covered her mouth.

He really got cheated on…

Was that earlier song too fitting after all?

The moment Yuan Lang finished speaking, the crowd erupted. The expressions on the half-beast and Ye Duo’s faces turned downright awful.

It was true that single males mating with females was considered normal.

But that half-beast already had a female he had agreed to bond with. Ye Duo also had many rumors tied to Yuan Lang.

With news like this dropped so suddenly, how could the crowd not explode?

A slightly short female with red eyes rushed up to the half-beast.

“Is what Warrior Yuan Lang said true?”

The half-beast’s lips trembled as if he wanted to say something.

The female stared him down. “The Beast God hears every word. Tell me, is it true?”

The half-beast’s back seemed to bend under a heavy weight. Guilt filled his eyes as he looked at the female before him.

“I am sorry. It is true.”

“Ah!”

The female screamed and leapt up, kicking the half-beast straight between the legs.

He dropped to a crouch with a loud cry, tears of pain gushing from his eyes.

But no one around them scolded the female. On the contrary, the others stared coldly at the half-beast.

A male who betrayed his future mate would be blacklisted by all females.

Yuan Lang’s father and mother looked furious. Their earlier awkwardness had vanished. Now their eyes gleamed with cold light as they stared across at Ye Duo’s parents.

So it was not that their son had changed his mind. It was that Ye Duo had been caught with another male she was not promised to.

“That is not true. It is not like that. He forced me. I like Yuan Lang. How could I mate with another male?”
