Surviving in the Beast World with a System

Chapter 505 - 367: The Yan Yan Witch’s Hatred and Teng Qian’s Spring

The beastman firing the bricks and tiles wiped the sweat constantly trickling down his cheeks as he nonchalantly shared the recent happenings with Chang Ye.

What the beastman didn’t see was Chang Ye’s body instantly tensing up when he mentioned the pottery that had shattered to pieces.

’Shattered?’

’If even the head-sized basins shattered, wouldn’t the pottery he made—the size of a young cub—shatter even more catastrophically?’

’Even though I’m just a lowly slave right now, please, Beastman Lord, could you grant me your blessing and let this pottery be fired successfully.’

Chang Ye stared hopefully at the brick and tile kiln ahead, from which heat rose in constant waves, even distorting the surrounding air.

’Please don’t shatter...’

The next morning, Wu Yue was in her courtyard sorting the herbs she had gathered when the gate was suddenly knocked on. This treatment left her a bit stunned.

Usually, the only visitors to her little courtyard were the brothers Yuan Lang and Teng Qian, or Qingcao and Aya, or at most the Grandmas from the Collection Team. But their way of announcing their arrival was to shout at the top of their lungs from outside the gate.

To be treated so politely all of a sudden actually left her feeling a little flattered.

"Please, come in."

With a cautious CREAK, the small courtyard’s wooden gate was pushed open.

The one who entered was a rather sturdy female beastman, and the Beast God’s Power emanating from her was quite strong.

"You are?"

Wu Yue was actually somewhat unfamiliar with the female beastmen of the tribe. Back when she was just an ordinary Witch Disciple, the proud female beastmen didn’t interact with her much due to her status.

She really only knew a few of the Grandmas.

But this female beastman didn’t look very old.

Seeing Wu Yue looking at her, the female beastman let out a soft breath and clutched the beaded necklace on her chest. She tried to curve her lips into a smile, but her stiff expression made it look a bit forced.

Wu Yue’s own expression stiffened slightly. ’Why is this female beastman acting so strange?’

"Lord Wuyue, hello. I am a female beastman of the tribe. You can call me Bai Long!"

’Bai Long? As in, White Dragon?’

The corner of Wu Yue’s eye twitched. ’You’re a Snow Tiger Beastman. Are you serious, taking such a badass name?’

’Did you even ask the dragons for their opinion?’

But then she suddenly remembered that she didn’t even know if dragons existed in this world.

"Come in. What can I do for you?"

Seeing that Wu Yue wasn’t stern and unapproachable like the previous witch, Bai Long’s heart, which had been caught in her throat, instantly dropped halfway down.

She sat on the stone stool Wu Yue had indicated and looked at the herbs laid out on the table. It seemed like she had seen every single one before, yet she didn’t recognize any of them.

Wu Yue went into her house, brought out some fruit, and placed it in a basket. "Have some fruit."

Bai Long nodded, took a piece of fruit, and held it in her hand, glancing up at Wu Yue from time to time.

’This female beastman in front of me seems to have something difficult she wants to talk about.’ But what made Wu Yue curious was that even among the female beastmen, who ran and hunted in the forest just like the males, there could be someone so shy.

"I went and asked Grandma Hua Shu. She said Yuan Lang likes you a lot and wants you to be his mate."

It had taken countless shy glances at Wu Yue before the female beastman finally spoke, her cheeks flushing red.

Hearing her words, Wu Yue felt that the great mountain named Yuan Lang had just gotten even heavier.

’See, there’s no benefit to a man being too handsome. He always attracts all sorts of romantic trouble. It’s such a pain.’

’Maybe I should make a mask or something for Yuan Lang to wear, to cover up that face that attracts trouble like a flower attracts bees.’

"If you like Yuan Lang, you can just go and tell him. Female beastmen are always very popular, aren’t they?"

Bai Long was taken aback by Wu Yue’s words, then she quickly waved her hands. "I don’t like Yuan Lang! It’s because... because..."

Wu Yue’s foot twitched under the stone table. ’For crying out loud!’

’You’re a sturdy female beastman, yet here you are, being all coy and hemming and hawing. If I wasn’t sure I couldn’t take a single punch from you, I’d really love to send a kick your way and knock you flat.’

The idea of grabbing the female beastman’s legs and shaking the words out of her was decisively abandoned after considering her formidable combat strength.

"Because of what? If you don’t like Yuan Lang, then why did you come looking for me?"

The moment Wu Yue’s voice fell, she saw a faint blush appear on the female beastman’s tan cheeks.

She gave Wu Yue a very shy glance. "I wanted to ask... what method did you use to make Yuan Lang fall for you? Could you... could you help me? I like Teng Qian, and I want him to be my mate."
