Surviving in the Beast World with a System-Chapter 81: Cao Fang

Wu Yue took out her versatile little stone pot and poured in the coarse salt Cao Yuan’s father had brought. She then tossed in a few handfuls of Sichuan peppercorns and began to stir-fry the mixture constantly.

Once the coarse salt was very hot, she motioned for the young Beastman to bring over a piece of Beast Skin, then poured the scorching salt onto it.

She then picked up the Beast Skin pouch and walked over to where Cao Yuan’s mother was resting.

She first placed a layer of Beast Skin on the woman’s stomach before setting the pouch containing the coarse salt on top.

A steady warmth spread from her abdomen. In the nest of grass, the tension on the pale, middle-aged female’s face instantly eased, and she let out a sigh of relief.

Her eyes slowly fluttered open. She hadn’t been sleeping soundly, so she had vaguely heard the conversation in the cave and knew that the young female beside her was the one who had eased her pain.

A faint smile touched her weak features. "Thank you, young female. Just a moment ago, it felt like I had a block of ice in my stomach, but now it’s so warm and much more comfortable."

Wu Yue chuckled softly. "You shouldn’t eat bitter greens and dandelions together anymore. Otherwise, you’ll have the same problem again."

With that, she pointed to the Beast Skin filled with coarse salt on the woman’s stomach. "If your stomach still hurts in the future, you can use this method again.

But it’s best to eat less of the bitter greens and dandelions."

Cao Yuan’s mother grabbed Wu Yue’s hand gratefully. "Thank you so, so much, young female. I actually get stomachaches from time to time, especially every year when we eat the bitter greens.

But it’s never been this bad before, so I didn’t pay it any mind."

Cao Yuan, who was kneeling beside the middle-aged female, said, "Amu, from now on, we’ll trade with the other Collection Teams for wild vegetables you can eat."

Cao Yuan’s father, who had been sitting to the side, held his wife’s hand. "If you can’t eat these bitter greens anymore, then you can just eat meat."

The young male who had just started the fire chimed in, "Amu, just eat meat from now on. Father and I are here."

Seeing this, Wu Yue stood up. "Since Grandma is feeling better, I’ll be heading back now."

The young male suddenly turned to her. "Young female, thank you for saving my Amu. I’ll send some food to you later."

Wu Yue chuckled. "There’s no need. Cao Yuan is my good friend. I was just helping a friend."

The male laughed heartily. "Last time, I heard Shi Lin say you were a kind young female, but I’d say you’re even more capable than he described."

He puffed out his chest as he looked at Wu Yue. "My name is Cao Fang. If you ever need help with anything, young female, you can always come find me."

Wu Yue smiled and nodded. "You can just call me Wu Yue."

After that, she said a quick goodbye to Cao Yuan, Mu Jing, and the others, and then left.

Beside her, Qingcao looked at Wu Yue. "Yue, Cao Fang just introduced himself to you. Why were you so cold?"

Wu Yue glanced at her. "I’m not going to be his mate. Why would I be so enthusiastic?"

Qingcao tutted regretfully. "But Cao Fang is a Beastman Warrior! If you became his second partner, you’d never have to worry about meat again."

Wu Yue: "..."

’What a great life that would be, becoming someone’s second wife just for a piece of meat.’

After saying goodbye to Wu Yue, Qingcao went to Qinghua’s home to get a meal.

After returning home, Wu Yue blanched two dandelions and then hung them on a wooden pole outside to dry.
