Surviving in the Beast World with a System

Chapter 550: Chapter 402: Du Huo’s Plan

To Wu Yue’s surprise, these vats looked much, much better than the two trial ones made before.

"You made all of these?"

She couldn’t help but look at Chang Ye in amazement. ’This man is a real talent.’

Chang Ye scratched his head sheepishly. "A few of the slaves are very deft with their hands, so I taught them the method for making the clay vats. I didn’t expect that what they made would be much better than what I could do."

Seeing Wu Yue’s satisfied look, Chang Ye couldn’t help but break into a grin.

He beckoned to the slaves standing behind with their heads bowed, and a few of them stepped forward timidly.

"Lord Wuyue, it’s these few. They’re very skilled, and the vats they make rarely break."

Wu Yue looked up at the slaves. They seemed unfamiliar. "Are you the ones from the trading meet?"

The slaves quickly knelt and prostrated themselves on the ground. "Lord Wuyue, it is us."

These were new slaves, so they naturally held a great deal of reverence and fear for the witch. Wu Yue sighed inwardly. "Get up. From now on, work diligently under Chang Ye. As long as you contribute to the tribe, you will be able to live a good life."

The slaves nodded respectfully.

"Yue."

Yuan Lang’s voice rang out from the doorway. Wu Yue tilted her head and saw the Beastman standing there, tall and imposing.

She turned to Chang Ye. "You all are dismissed. I don’t need any more vats for the time being, but the other members of the tribe still do. Accept some food as payment and help them make some clay vats."

Chang Ye assented respectfully and withdrew with the slaves.

As he passed by Yuan Lang at the doorway, he also bowed respectfully.

Wu Yue watched the Beastman Warrior approach. "You’re leaving?"

"Mm."

Yuan Lang nodded. "We leave tomorrow. We’ll need to do some experiments this time. Not every Fierce Beast we hunt is suitable, so it will take a little longer."

Wu Yue pursed her lips, then turned and walked into the room where she prepared her herbal medicines.

Seeing the Beastman still standing there, she beckoned. "Come get it yourself. There’s too much stuff; I can’t carry it."

Yuan Lang chuckled and walked over. "It’s just some medicinal powders and pills. How hea... vy..."

The Beastman’s remaining words died in his throat when he saw the contents of three entire, large carrying baskets inside the room.

His Adam’s apple bobbed in disbelief. "So much!"

If he weren’t one of the ones going into the deep forest this time, anyone else seeing this much medicine would probably think they were going to be gone for several years.

It was rare to see the Beastman looking so dumbfounded. Wu Yue scratched her head in embarrassment. "I figured your trip would be dangerous, so I wanted to prepare a little extra... but I ended up with a lot.

Besides, none of you know anything about herbs, so you should just take it all."

Yuan Lang nodded in resignation. "My deepest thanks, Lord Wuyue."

Wu Yue rolled her eyes. "Oh, stop it."

"You all need to be careful this time. Many of the small and medium-sized tribes have reported that the Fierce Beasts’ territory has expanded again. They’re already showing up in the hunting grounds."

Yuan Lang nodded. "Looks like we’ll have to increase the scale of our Fierce Beast hunts. We’ve hunted so few over the years that their population has exploded.

If this continues, I’m afraid even the deep forest won’t be enough to contain them. It’s only a matter of time before they enter the forests where we live."

That’s what worried Wu Yue, too. "Just be careful. If you run into any danger, come back to the tribe right away."

The Beastman nodded. "Are you worried about me?"

Yuan Lang’s eyes twinkled as he gazed at the young female before him, his heart softening.

’Just look at her. Her mouth says one thing, but her heart is honest. She clearly likes me but won’t admit it. Such a little female, saying the opposite of what she feels.’

At this thought, Yuan Lang felt inexplicably smug.

’Of course! I used to be a handsome Great General, adored by all, a man who made countless women swoon. How could the young woman before me possibly feel nothing for me?’

"What nonsense are you thinking about now? What’s with that silly grin?"

The smug look in the Beastman’s eyes was completely undisguised...

Yuan Lang gave her a deep look. "You."

Wu Yue was left speechless.

’What’s with this sudden, overwhelming flirtatiousness?’

’Your sudden suaveness is giving me whiplash...’

"Well, thanks, I guess..."

Seeing the disdain in her eyes, Yuan Lang suddenly lowered his head and leaned in close. "You look disgusted with me?"

His handsome, chiseled face was suddenly right in front of hers. The Beastman’s hot breath ghosted across her cheek, making it flush and burn.

The Beastman’s searing gaze bored straight into the depths of her own eyes, leaving Wu Yue feeling flustered.

Watching the blush slowly spread across the young female’s cheeks and earlobes, the Beastman let out a low chuckle. "Are you getting shy, Yue?"

The tiny avatar in Wu Yue’s mind reared up, wanting to give this Beastman a good "HI-YAH!" kick. ’You’re not supposed to say it out loud, you idiot!’

"You have bad breath!"

’Talk about speaking without thinking!’

Realizing what she had just said, Wu Yue gingerly lifted her head to look at him.

Sure enough, the handsome face from a moment ago was now as dark as a thundercloud.
