Free Web NovelChapter 535: Chapter 397: Successful Mutual Hook-up
The witch smiled and beckoned. "Bring it here, quickly. I skipped the midday meal, and I’m starving."
The Beastman pursed his lips, placed the food in front of her, then turned and left, carrying the dry grass from the cave entrance.
A moment later, a fresh nest of dry grass had been laid out in the witch’s cave.
"Witch, do you wish to mate with this Beastman?"
The Beastman watched the witch for a long time before finally asking the question.
The witch chuckled lightly at his words. "When did I ever say I wanted to mate with him?"
She looked up in the direction of the Polar Forest. "I was just using this opportunity to bring up the matter of the Fierce Beast Crystal Cores."
The Beastman was shocked. "You told the Messenger about the Fierce Beast Crystal Cores?"
"That’s right. Since our Yan Yan Tribe can’t just go and attack those tribes in the Polar Forest, we might as well let a Super Tribe handle it.
We’re so close to the Polar Forest. They can have the meat, and we can drink some of the broth. We can’t just keep waiting around like this while those few Crystal Cores in the Polar Forest level up."
The Beastman fell silent, but a faint sense of unease grew in his heart.
At this moment, the various tribes of the Polar Forest were still unaware that they had been targeted by a major Super Tribe.
"Yue, you’re not going to stay home the entire time you’re bleeding, are you?"
Qingcao looked at her friend by the stone table with a mischievous grin.
Wu Yue raised an eyebrow at her. "What’s wrong? You got a problem with me staying in?"
"What problem could I have? I just think it would be good to get out for a walk. Didn’t you used to say, ’A hundred steps after a meal, and you’ll live to 999’?"
Wu Yue’s mouth twitched. "What kind of creature are you, trying to live to 999!"
’Trying to live to 999? Seriously?’
Qingcao looked at Wu Yue with envy. "There’s no hope for me. We ordinary Pure Humans only live for a few hundred years at most. But witches and Beastman Warriors who can cultivate can live much longer."
Hearing this, Wu Yue’s hand trembled. ’Damn it,’ she thought. ’If my old self heard someone say something like that, I’d have slapped the hell out of them.’
She hadn’t even dared to hope she’d live to seventy before, and now this person who could live for hundreds of years was here whining about it.
’I really don’t want to deal with her right now.’
"Speaking of which, why did you come over so early in the morning? Don’t tell me you just came to mooch a meal?"
Qingcao wiped her mouth, chuckled, and scratched her head. "I’d forgotten all about it until you mentioned it."
As she spoke, she started scratching her body. "I don’t know what’s wrong with me these past few days. I’ve been really itchy all over, and I’ve broken out in these little red bumps. They’re in patches."
After saying this, she looked around furtively and whispered, "I suspect it’s because you and I are too close, which made Yuan Lang unhappy. So he must have secretly smeared taro... juice... on my clothes..."
As she spoke, her voice not only trembled on the last word, but it also cracked.
"In your dreams. Yuan Lang isn’t that bored. He might be petty, hold a grudge, and be shameless, but he wouldn’t smear taro juice on you just because you’re close to me."
Wu Yue explained on Yuan Lang’s behalf while examining the red rash on Qingcao’s body.
"Petty, holds a grudge, and shameless!"
A deep, Beastman’s voice echoed from behind her. Wu Yue felt her calves tremble, and for a second, she thought they were about to cramp.
She turned her head with a dry laugh. "Yuan... Yuan Lang, hi there."
A tall, imposing Beastman Warrior stood in the yard, shouldering a kill easily three times his size. Water from the prey dripped onto his chest, tracing a path over his shoulder before disappearing into his white Beast Skin Skirt.
"GULP!"
"GULP!"
Two very distinct sounds of swallowing echoed in the yard, instantly snapping Wu Yue out of the daze caused by the beautiful sight before her. But...
She admitted that she had just gulped, but who did the other gulp belong to?
Her face darkened as she turned to look at Qingcao. The girl’s eyes were still glued to the Beastman, and some unidentifiable substance was starting to trickle from the corner of her mouth.
Wu Yue: "..."
"Teng Kun is here."
Qingcao, who had been drooling, snapped back to her senses. She stuck out her tongue to lick away the saliva about to drip from the corner of her lips, then looked up with a brilliant smile.
But...
Aside from a chicken wandering on the path in the opposite yard and the chirping Bird Beasts in the trees, there was no sign of Teng Kun anywhere.
"Yue, you tricked me!"
Wu Yue let out a dry laugh. "You’re a woman with her own Beastman, you know. Why are you still drooling over another one?"
