Free Web NovelChapter 552: Chapter 403: This Fierce Skunk Beast Evolved
Watching the female beastman’s retreating back, Wu Yue and Yuan Lang both narrowed their eyes. Her back, which looked like she was storming off in a huff, seemed unnaturally stiff.
But first, there were a few small fry who had ruined his moment that needed to be dealt with. Yuan Lang looked away, a cold smile returning to his face as he cracked his knuckles. "It’s been a while since we’ve... caught up."
Teng Qian: "!!!"
Teng Kun: "!!!"
Qingcao: "!!!"
’We don’t have a relationship! What’s there to catch up on?’
But would Yuan Lang listen? Of course not.
A moment later, a series of miserable howls echoed throughout the entire Snow Tiger Tribe.
Meanwhile, the female beastman who had fled the battlefield at the speed of a champion racewalker let out a soft sigh of relief and quietly wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"That was a close call."
Wu Yue came out of the courtyard and saw the two Beastman Warriors lying on the ground like corpses. She silently observed a three-second moment of silence for them—not a second more.
"Are you guys okay?"
The two Beastman Warriors reached out in unison. "Something for the pain, please."
"A little pain is good. It’ll help you clear your heads."
Teng Qian and Teng Kun looked at the two expressionless people before them, tears streaming down their faces.
’In the end, our feelings were all for naught...’
"You’re still breathing. Once you’ve rested enough, go back and pack. We leave tomorrow."
With that, he once again reached out to pat the head of the young female beside him. "I’ll be back as soon as I can."
Wu Yue’s face flushed. "If you’re coming back, then come back. Why are you telling me?"
With that, she turned and ran back into the courtyard.
Yuan Lang chuckled softly. He watched her figure disappear into the house before finally turning to leave.
Teng Qian, Teng Kun, and Qingcao, who was being shielded beneath Teng Kun: "..."
’We haven’t eaten a thing, so why do we suddenly feel so full?’
The nights in the Polar Forest were tranquil, with only the occasional chirp of insects.
"Congratulations, Host, on your successful breakthrough. Your witch power has advanced to Yellow Rank Third tier.
Promotion Reward: High rank Body Strengthening Pills ×1
Intermediate Beast Taming Ring ×1
System Space expanded to 50 cubic meters
points ×1,000
Please continue to work hard and level up, Host!"
Wu Yue, who had just finished leveling up, hadn’t even had time to celebrate before she was stunned by the series of rewards.
"GULP!"
She swallowed hard and pinched her arm. The sharp, realistic pain told her this was no dream.
The smile on Wu Yue’s face grew wider and wider until it was practically stretching from ear to ear.
"System, why are the rewards so generous this time? For a second there, I thought I was dreaming!"
The Blue Fatty beamed as it looked at the rewards in its little private stash, grinning so wide it couldn’t close its mouth.
"This is nothing. Wait until you break through the Third Rank to reach the Fourth Rank, Host. *Those* rewards are what you’d really call generous."
But... heheh. Looking at the points awarded to the system, the System itself couldn’t help but let out a dopey, greedy laugh.
’Finally... my pockets are finally getting full! I feel like I’ve got more confidence when I speak now.’
’It’s true what they say. Money isn’t everything, but you absolutely can’t do anything without it.’
"Host, it’s still early. Do you want to take the High rank Body Strengthening Pill now?"
The System’s reminder snapped Wu Yue out of her dazed grin. She immediately opened her System Space and saw the familiar small bottle lying quietly inside.
"Whoa, leveling up is awesome. Before, the Body Strengthening Pills were just tossed into the straw bedding beside me."
The System rolled its eyes at her words. "This High rank Body Strengthening Pill is an extremely precious treasure. Of course it has to be handled with care. If we just left it lying around and someone else took it, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?"
Wu Yue chuckled sheepishly. "Right, right."
She poured the High rank Body Strengthening Pill from the porcelain bottle and was about to pop it into her mouth when a thought suddenly struck her. She turned to the Blue Fatty. "System, this High rank Body Strengthening Pill isn’t going to make my body expel impurities too, is it?"
The second time had been relatively tame, but she vividly remembered the effects of taking her very first Body Strengthening Pill.
This was the advanced version. What if it also made a ’stench that could travel for miles’? Wouldn’t her cover story about the skunk be blown?
"Host, hold on, don’t take it yet. I’ll check."
With that, it went silent.
Wu Yue put the pill back in the porcelain bottle and waited quietly. After a long moment, the System let out a great sigh.
"Host, it’s a good thing you were so sharp. The High rank Body Strengthening Pill’s Bone Marrow Cleansing effect is even stronger than the first one you took. It would be best to go directly to the pool on the back mountain to take it."
Wu Yue’s mouth twitched. "You mean you want me to soak in that pool while I take it?"
"What else? The filth expelled from your body needs to be washed away promptly. Besides, the pool on the back mountain is the only one without any Sharp-toothed Fish."
Wu Yue pressed her lips together. "But the smell will be too strong. The other tribe members will notice, won’t they?"
