Surviving in the Beast World with a System

Chapter 270: Inanimate Objects Are Never the Problem

Suddenly seeing Qingcao alive and well, Teng Kun was overjoyed. He took a step forward and swept the pudgy girl into his arms. "Why would a little female like you pick a fight with a wild boar? Do you have a death wish?"

His tone turned into a lecture as he spoke.

Any touched feelings Qingcao had a moment ago were instantly thrown to the dogs. One could only say that women were truly creatures who held a grudge.

She pressed both hands against Teng Kun’s chest, and perhaps because they felt good to the touch, she even gave his bulging pecs a couple of squeezes...

Wu Yue: "..."

’The two of you and your lecherous expressions really make a perfect match.’

But, being the shameless flirt she was, Qingcao began her interrogation while still groping his pecs. "Tell me, do I really look no different from that wild boar?"

Teng Kun froze, then shook his head in all honesty. "There is a difference. If you look at you from the front, your faces are definitely not the same."

Wu Yue: "..."

’Is this guy an idiot?’

’He has zero survival instinct...’

Sure enough, the next moment, an exceedingly brilliant smile bloomed on Qingcao’s face. She reached out and looped her arm through the Beastman Warrior’s. "Come on, come over here. I need to talk to you about something."

With that, she said a quick goodbye to Wu Yue and her family, then led the utterly baffled Teng Kun away.

Seeing the blissful look on Teng Kun’s face, Wu Yue offered him three seconds of silent mourning before cheerfully getting ready to help butcher the pig.

But the next moment, an arm wrapped around her waist, and a Beastman’s warm breath ghosted past her ear. "Enjoying the show?"

"Heh, it was decent enough."

Yuan Lang chuckled. With a slight tightening of his arm, he lifted Wu Yue, who yelped as she found herself seated on his forearm.

Wu Yue: "..."

’This is how you carry a child. Are you sure this is appropriate for me?’

"I need to talk to you. Let’s go to your room."

The Beastman’s voice was low, and though his expression was unreadable, his eyes held a hint of gravity.

Wu Yue momentarily forgot to ask him to put her down and just nodded. "Okay."

Along the way, the other tribe members were stunned by the couple’s intimate display.

As far as everyone was concerned, Wu Yue was just a weak Pure Human female, while Yuan Lang was one of the tribe’s powerful young Beastman Warriors.

’Seeing them like this... could Yuan Lang be planning to form a pair-bond with Wu Yue?’

Sitting in her nest of grass, Wu Yue looked at the Beastman Warrior across from her. "What’s happened?"

Yuan Lang casually picked up a red fruit and took a bite, his gaze drifting to the area outside the tribe. "The Black Wolf Witch’s divination seems to have predicted the imminent destruction of the Polar Forest, and it’s because of the Salt Crystal Cave."

Wu Yue was taken aback. "Because of the Salt Crystal Cave?"

She was completely baffled. "Is there something wrong with the Salt Crystal Stones?"

Yuan Lang gave a cryptic laugh. "The Salt Crystal Stones? The problem is never with inanimate objects."

A chill ran down Wu Yue’s spine. As much as she didn’t want to think it, in this world, a witch’s divination was not to be taken lightly.

"Fighting over the Salt Crystal Stones will lead to the destruction of the tribes in the Polar Forest."

She said it as a statement, not a question, and they both knew it was the most likely scenario.

Wu Yue suddenly turned to look at Yuan Lang. "Who exactly are you people?"

The young female’s gaze was exceptionally sharp, and it held a hint of certainty.

Yuan Lang raised his large hand and ruffled her hair. "I thought you were smart. Why did it take you this long to figure it out?"

His words were an indirect confirmation of Wu Yue’s suspicions.
