Surviving in the Beast World with a System-Chapter 101: The Speed of Rumors

Not good was an understatement.

Yuan Lang’s expression was so dark, it looked like you could wring water from it.

A Beastman gave a forced laugh. "Uh... Yuan Lang, why’s your face so dark? You look like you just ate poop."

A nearby Beastman covered his face. ’Damn it, you really know how to pick your words, don’t you!’

Yuan Lang sneered, "I’ve never tried it, but I must admit, I’m curious what it tastes like."

With that, he strode forward, lifted the Beastman by the scruff of his neck, and his dark eyes swept over the surrounding Beastman Warriors. "You all stay seated. I’m going to take him for a taste."

The Beastmen all shuddered.

’A taste? Did he even need to say what kind of taste?’

One by one, they nodded with strained smiles. "Yes, he should have a taste. How can someone get so old without knowing what all sorts of things taste like?"

The surrounding Beastmen nodded in firm agreement.

Yuan Lang gave them a strange look, then walked off, still carrying the Beastman in his hand.

Before the Beastmen could even recover from their fear of Yuan Lang, the surrounding females had all scattered in a flash.

’Damn! What’s wrong with the Hu Zi here? They’ve all eaten poop? The thought of becoming mates with a Hu Zi who’s eaten poop...’

The females all agreed... the idea was rather pungent...

One should never underestimate the power of rumors. Wu Yue had just arrived at the clearing, holding her small stone pot, when she found that the news of Yuan Lang "being unable to perform" had already spread throughout the entire tribe.

And as the young female who had witnessed Yuan Lang’s "inability," she was met with sympathetic gazes from all the tribespeople.

"Yue, you should just forget about Yuanlang Warrior. You can’t have a Beastman Warrior who can’t satisfy his female mate."

Qingcao said, frowning as she sidled up to Wu Yue.

Beside them, Cao Yuan and Mu Jing nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, Yue, if you want to find a Beastman mate, you could consider my older brother. He mentioned last time that he likes you a lot."

Cao Yuan dropped another bombshell.

Wu Yue’s mouth twitched as she looked at her. "Your brother already has a mate."

’She had no intention of being someone’s second wife.’

Cao Yuan pouted. "That doesn’t matter. Isn’t it normal for a powerful Beastman Warrior to have several mates?"

Wu Yue shook her head. "My future mate can only have me as his one and only mate."

’If he dared to find a second or third wife, she’d let him experience the thrill of a flying dagger.’

Over by the river, currently "disciplining" the big-mouthed Beastman, Yuan Lang suddenly felt a bone-chilling coldness from below. His gaze toward the Beastman grew even more sinister.

Cao Yuan’s lips drooped. "Alright, I get it."

Remembering her brother’s earlier request, Cao Yuan could only sigh helplessly. ’It seems like there’s no chance for my brother and Yue, after all.’

’Yue’s expression just now was incredibly firm.’

After the meal, perhaps because the weather was starting to turn, even the night wind carried a faint trace of warmth.

Wu Yue dragged a thigh-high wooden tub from a corner of her hut. It had been hollowed out from a tree so large it would take two people to wrap their arms around it.

This was a thank-you gift from Shi Lin, because the herbs she had given him had saved his Father’s life.

Taking advantage of the pleasant temperature, she wanted to take a good, long bath.

As for the riverside... Heh heh...

Thinking of those ferocious Grass Carp, Wu Yue decided she would rather stink to death than go there.

She lost count of how many trips she made back and forth before she had finally brought back enough water.

She tossed a few pieces of slow-burning firewood into the hut’s fire pit, blocked the door securely, and only then did Wu Yue slip off her woven-grass clothes and big, flowery shorts before stepping into the tub.

Although the water had been sitting for a while, it was still chilly enough to make her shiver.

After scrubbing for a bit, she looked at the water in the tub and couldn’t help but give an embarrassed twitch of her lips. ’This color...’

’Anyone who didn’t know better would think I was taking a medicinal bath!’
