Surviving in the Beast World with a System

Chapter 449 - 368: Wolfing it Down

How familiar that chilling aura was. Gazing at his handsome face, the madness in the female’s heart surged once again.

She lowered her head to avoid Yuan Lang’s gaze. She was gripping her own hands so tightly they were bleeding, but the thrill and ecstasy flooding her heart prevented her from feeling any pain.

’Heh... hehehe...’

’Beastman Warriors of the Snow Tiger Tribe...’

’I like them very much...’

The evening banquet ended in this seemingly lively atmosphere.

After the Beastmen of the Yan Yan Tribe returned to their lodgings, the witch summoned a Beastman Warrior into her room. The other warriors watched him go, green with envy and wishing they could take his place.

But they knew the Lady Witch’s temper. She appeared gentle, but she absolutely hated it when someone went against her will.

That night, the Beastman Warriors from the Black Wolf Tribe in the room next to the witch’s didn’t get a wink of sleep. Dammit, making all that noise late at night instead of just sleeping.

Had she even considered the feelings of single Beastmen like them?

Besides, the witch’s cries were just awful to listen to. They sounded just like the screeches of the Shun Yuan that had chased them when they went out to drive away the Fireball Beasts this year.

Not to mention, this witch even looked so much like a Shun Yuan...

A bold conjecture suddenly formed in the minds of the Black Wolf Tribe’s Beastman Warriors...

"Hey, guys, what do you think? This witch looks like a Shun Yuan, and she sounds like a Shun Yuan. You don’t think she’s the offspring of a Shun Yuan and a Beastman, do you?"

Hearing such a stimulating topic, the other warriors who also couldn’t sleep were instantly energized.

And so, the next day, the news that the Yan Yan Tribe’s witch might be the offspring of a Shun Yuan and a Beastman spread like wildfire throughout the entire Snow Tiger Tribe.

Every tribe attending the trading fair heard the news.

However, only the Beastmen from the Polar Forest Tribe, who had hunted Fierce Beasts, knew what a Shun Yuan actually looked like.

The others had no real idea.

Wu Yue, who was up early, was washing up in her room when a loud banging echoed from her courtyard gate. With such a violent wake-up call, she didn’t even have to guess who it was.

"Yue, are you up yet? I brought you some yummy food!"

In the past, Wu Yue would have been deeply moved by Qingcao’s thoughtfulness, but now...

’No doubt about it, this girl is definitely after something.’

She sauntered out of her bedroom and was about to open the gate when she found the girl already standing in her courtyard, patting the dust off her rear.

"You climbed the wall again!"

Caught red-handed, Qingcao gave a dry laugh and quickly held up a stone bowl she had placed on the wall. "Hehe, I really did just come to bring you some delicious food."

With that, she raised her round eyes. "If you don’t believe me, look into my sincere little eyes."

Wu Yue scoffed. "Wipe the sleep out of your eyes before you ask me to look. It’s ruining my appetite."

Seeing her turn and walk back inside, Qingcao quickly raised an arm to wipe away the unidentified object from the corner of her eye, then scampered after her.

"Yue, here’s the thing. When I was at the trading fair today, I heard a bunch of Beastman Warriors saying that the witch from the Yan Yan Tribe looks like a type of Fierce Beast called a Shun Yuan."

"I’ve never seen a Shun Yuan, but didn’t you go hunt Fierce Beasts with the Beastman Warriors before?"

"Do you know what a Shun Yuan looks like?"

Wu Yue shot her an exasperated look, took a boiled egg from the stone bowl, and cracked it open. "And here you were saying you brought me food. Bringing food was just an excuse, wasn’t it? This was your real goal all along."

Called out by Wu Yue, Qingcao brazenly sat down. "Come on, tell me. I think that witch looks strong and quite pretty, but from the way the Beastman Warriors talk about it, they seem to really dislike it."

Wu Yue gave her an amused look. "Do you know what the most defining characteristic of the Shun Yuan Fierce Beast is?"

Here comes the juicy part!

Qingcao’s ears twitched, her excitement written all over her face. "Quick, tell me, tell me!"

Wu Yue was happy to satisfy her friend’s love for gossip. Besides, the look that witch had given her yesterday was not friendly at all, and it had been filled with intense killing intent.

"The Shun Yuan are a species of Fierce Beast with no males. What they love most is capturing males of other species, dragging them back to their nests, and mating with them to produce offspring."

"And... their absolute favorite are male Beastman Warriors."

Qingcao’s face instantly turned green...

’Dragging away Beastman Warriors to mate!’

Giving a dry laugh, Qingcao stood up and started heading out. "Right, uh, Yue, take your time eating. No rush. I’m just gonna go hang out with Aya."
