Chapter 405: Chapter 353: Yuan Lang’s Little Secret

Staring at the cuckold-green crossbody bag before her, Wu Yue was instantly reminded of the sea of green that was the Scorpion Tribe.

She immediately reached out and grabbed the System by its hind legs. "Get up. I’m formally requesting a color change."

’What the hell? Giving me a cuckold-green bag... what are they trying to imply?’

The System looked up groggily. "It’s just a backpack. The color is just an accessory, as long as it’s practical... HOLY—!"

"Why is it this color?!"

Seeing the Blue Fatty also looking completely dumbfounded, Wu Yue said speechlessly, "You didn’t pick this?"

The System gave Wu Yue a look that said, *How dare you question my taste?* "Am I a System with such poor taste?"

"Can we exchange it?"

The System’s voice was a bit hoarse. "All sales are final."

The two of them stared at the bright green bag, their expressions complex...

’Could it be that in the greater System’s eyes, a beautiful, cute, kind, and intelligent person like me only deserves to carry a cuckold-green bag?’

With every word that popped out of the Dog Host’s mouth, the System’s chubby butt scooted back a little. By the time Wu Yue finished speaking and looked up, the System had already shuffled itself into the corner of the stone bed with a look of disgust.

It buried its round head in its two fat paws, pretending not to know her.

Wu Yue sneered. "You spend my points and sleep on my bed. Isn’t it a little late to pretend you don’t know me now?"

The Blue Fatty’s body trembled. It slowly raised its head, a fawning smile on its small, fuzzy face. "I just feel so unworthy in the presence of such a beautiful, cute, kind, and intelligent Host, that’s all, hehe!"

Wu Yue nodded. "As long as you know. To be worthy of an outstanding Host like me, you’ll have to work harder."

With that, she gave the System’s round, chubby butt a very solemn pat.

Then, she lay down, hugging her cuckold-green crossbody bag.

This left the System sitting in the corner, its butt still numb with pain, holding back a flood of tears and whimpering. ’Dog Host, did you really have to hit me so hard?’

The next morning, Wu Yue wrapped a layer of Beast Skin around her cuckold-green bag before she felt comfortable enough to carry it out of the cave.

"Host, you’re so extravagant. A person struggling on the poverty line is actually carrying a fur bag."

The System’s snark was, as always, right on time.

Wu Yue couldn’t help but shiver. "System, you’re giving me the chills!"

System: "..."

’Give me a break, I was just trying to liven things up this early in the morning.’

Just then, Yuan Lang, who had just returned to his own cave after his morning workout, looked at some yellow granules on the ground in confusion and muttered, "I don’t think these were here when we dug the cave..."

’Could some kind of bug have gotten in?’ As the thought crossed his mind, a wave of goosebumps instantly washed over him.

He walked straight out of the cave. A moment later, he returned with a lit torch and scorched every corner of the cave before he could relax.

Then, as if he’d thought of something, he turned and went to the entrance of Wu Yue’s cave. "Yue, are you up?"

Wu Yue was in the middle of bickering with the System. When she heard Yuan Lang’s voice, she gave the System’s chubby butt a firm pat before cheerfully walking toward the cave entrance. "I’m here! What’s up?"

Yuan Lang frowned. "Are there any strange yellow granules in your cave?"

Wu Yue turned and scanned her own cave in confusion. "No, no strange yellow granules here."

"A lot of strange yellow granules have appeared on the floor of my cave. I’m sure I didn’t see them when we were digging it."

Wu Yue pointed at the torch in his hand. "So you scorched your cave with a torch?"

She looked at the tall, handsome Beastman Warrior before her with amusement. "Are you afraid of bugs?"

Yuan Lang’s body stiffened at her words. His dark brows shot up, and a clear flicker of embarrassment crossed his eyes. "Are you... kidding... COUGH!"

Seeming to realize his reaction was a bit over the top, he quickly cleared his throat and said, "I was just taking precautions against that Worm Witch using her Poisonous Insects again."

"Since you don’t have those yellow granules here, I’ll be going now."

’Kidding me? How could he, a magnificent Great General, possibly be afraid of measly little things like bugs!’

’Heh. If one comes, I’ll crush it. If a whole swarm comes...’

The tall figure shivered. ’...Never mind a swarm.’

Wu Yue watched the slightly flustered Beastman Warrior leave with a mischievous grin, then turned and walked back into her cave.

But the next moment, a crisp sound came from under her foot, as if something had been crushed...
