The closer they got to the pool on the back mountain, the stronger the vile stench became.
The Snow Tiger Tribe Leader’s expression grew grim as he looked at the pale faces of his tribesmen. He had no idea why this skunk-like Fierce Beast kept coming to their tribe.
’With such devastating potency, if we actually run into it, I’m afraid many of our people will be knocked unconscious by the smell, completely losing their ability to fight.’
"Clan Leader, it’s just ahead."
The voice of a Half beastman Warrior called out from ahead. "The stench is coming from the pool up there. The females used to always bathe in it, but now the water has turned black and viscous."
Under the moonlight, the black water of the pool reflected no light. It was dark and stagnant, looking as though it could swallow a person whole.
The Half beastmen and Beastman Warriors stared at the muddy pool, their faces grim. "That skunk must have passed through this water," the Clan Leader said, his expression grave. ’Just passing through caused this much contamination. I can’t imagine how powerful this skunk must be.’
After a thorough search of the area, the Beastmen found no tracks or any lingering scent of a Fierce Beast. Their wariness of this skunk-like creature only deepened.
"All right, let’s head back to the tribe for now. From now on, the Beastman Warriors will be in charge of patrolling the back mountain."
The Beastman Warriors all nodded in unison.
The Half beastman Warriors had a keen sense of smell, but their bodies weren’t as strong as the Beastman Warriors’.
Faced with such a powerful stench, the Half beastman Warriors would pass out just from getting a whiff, whereas the Beastman Warriors could endure it for a while longer.
While the males were out searching for the legendary and powerful skunk-like Fierce Beast, Wu Yue and her System had already snuck back to their room.
"System, I bet that non-existent skunk Fierce Beast is going to take the blame for this one, too."
Sitting on the fluffy Beast Skin blanket, she mused, ’I could have figured that out with my eyes closed.’
The System picked at its little feet. "Why don’t you turn yourself in, then?"
Wu Yue’s rosy cheeks twitched. "Oh my, I’m suddenly so sleepy. I’m going to bed now... ZZZ~"
System: "..."
’Is this the legendary ’instant sleep’ she’s pulling? Or is she just faking it?’
"Lord System, let me feed you a grape~"
"Come on, open wide, ahhh~"
Gazing at the curvy, swimsuit-clad beauty beside it, the System let out a perverted giggle and opened its mouth with a blissful look. "Ahhh~ MMPH MMPH MMPH!!!"
’Why is this grape so hard? I can’t even bite through it!’
"What the hell are you doing, you damned System!"
Sweet dreams are always short-lived. An angry roar from Wu Yue jolted the System awake from its lovey-dovey time with the swimsuit beauty.
The poor Little Commander moved its mouth. ’This grape has a really weird texture.’
It groggily looked down... Holy crap!
’Isn’t this my Dog Host’s heel?’
It swore off swimsuit beauties forever. ’How could she feed me my Dog Host’s heel...’
"BLEGH~"
Its four stubby legs scrambled to the edge of the bed platform as it began to dry heave.
’What do I do? I’m tainted...’
Wu Yue lifted her foot. A puddle of drool, glistening in the morning sun, couldn’t have been more obvious...
’Was the damned System craving meat or something? It actually gnawed on my foot?’
’Not only did it chew on me, but now it’s hanging over the edge of the bed, retching its guts out. And I’m the one who should be grossed out, thank you very much.’
Seeing its fat little butt sticking high in the air, Wu Yue’s bright eyes narrowed. Faster than a bolt of lightning, the foot covered in the System’s drool landed on its soft fur, wiping the glistening saliva right back onto it.
The System, weak from all the retching, turned its head just in time to see its Dog Host pulling her foot back. "Dog Host, you don’t wash your feet at night, so you just wipe them on me?"
’If you do this, how am I supposed to happily groom myself today?’
Wu Yue glanced at her own rosy little foot. "I just washed it with your drool."
Seeing the Dog Host’s triumphant look, the System was speechless. "..."
It was utterly lost for words.
It turned around, plopped onto the bed, and started wiggling its body to rub the drool from its furry butt onto the Beast Skin blanket.
"Host, your appearance has changed quite a bit. If you go outside, a lot of the tribespeople probably won’t recognize you."
Wu Yue, who was about to go back to sleep, froze. "Changed?"
With that, she took a small mirror out from her system. "Ho-ly... crap!!!"
The beauty in the mirror wore a shocked expression. Her lustrous eyes were wide open, still a bit hazy, perhaps from having just woken up.
Her once frizzy, brownish-black hair was now a pure, glossy black, and silky smooth.
She couldn’t help but reach up and touch it. ’This texture...’
’Ah, this is amazing! I feel like I could be in a shampoo commercial.’
