"I’ve never seen a house like this before. Is this what they looked like in your old tribe?"
Yuan Lang set the bamboo bag on the ground, but he showed no sign of leaving. Instead, he looked around Wu Yue’s house and asked familiarly.
Wu Yue quickly shook her head. "Of course not. My Father and Amu ca from a tribe outside the Polar Forest. You can only find this kind of house there."
’Are you kidding ? The original owner’s small tribe wasn’t far from the Snow Tiger Tribe at all. If this big tiger suddenly got the urge to go snooping, my cover would be completely blown.’
She glanced at the bamboo bag on the ground, a grateful smile appearing on her small, gaunt face. "Thank you for bringing the wild vegetables."
’The vegetables are here. Shouldn’t you be leaving now?!’
For so reason, the Yuanlang Warrior today seed different from the last ti she’d seen him. He felt more dangerous, making her want to run away.
Perhaps sensing her discomfort, Yuan Lang averted his deep gaze and turned to walk outside. "I’m leaving."
The words had barely left his lips before his tall figure vanished from the room.
Wu Yue stared blankly, her mouth slightly agape. "Oh..."
’This guy is certainly decisive. He leaves the second he says he will.’
"What, did you want him to stay and warm your bed?" the System’s sleazy voice suddenly piped up.
Wu Yue shot it a sidelong glance, as if that alone could convey her contempt. "I bet you were so kind of pervy, X-rated system before you crossed over, weren’t you?"
’Holy crap! How dare she question my very existence as a system? I can’t let this stand!’
The System leaped up from its little stool, planting its short, chubby paws on its hips. It hopped around, fuming. "That’s slander! The System is pure! You need to apologize to this pure little System."
"The System is definitely not an adult-rated system. You’re the perverted one, Dog Host!"
Wu Yue smirked deviously. "I never said ’adult-rated.’ How would a pure little System like you know what that ans?"
System: "..." ’Is it too late to play dead?’
"Hey! Host, aren’t you going to submit your quest?"
A masterful technique for diffusing awkwardness: a decisive change of subject.
Seeing the System back down, Wu Yue felt the night breeze was especially refreshing.
She decisively pulled the chili peppers from her side pack, her small, gaunt face full of pride. "Submit quest."
The System imdiately and obsequiously went into work mode. "Long-term quest ’Sustenance’ part one complete: Find a food unknown to the Snow Tiger Tribe. Reward: 10 points. Reward: Basket-weaving instructions."
"The basket-weaving instructions can be viewed on the panel."
"Congratulations, Dog Host! You’re getting closer and closer to 100 points."
’A system this fawning is a rare sight,’ Wu Yue thought. She decided to be rciful and not hold this over its head.
"Alright, you are dismissed. Your master the Host is preparing to rest."
The System silently gave Wu Yue the finger, then quietly went into hiding.
’I’ll have to lay low for a while. Otherwise, the Dog Host will definitely use this incident to blackmail .’
anwhile, Grandma Hua Shu wore a look of utter disgust as she stared at the lazy tiger cub that had taken over her nest of straw. Her expression was foul.
"Don’t you have your own nest?"
Beside her, Yuan Qi tore a piece of fresh at into small chunks, placing them on a large leaf in front of his mate. He then shot the tiger cub occupying their love nest the sa look of disgust.
’Having a male Beastman for a son is so frustrating. They aren’t cute or considerate at all, like the females are.’
Pretending not to see the disdain from his "dear" parents, the incredibly thick-skinned Yuan Lang rested his massive tiger head on his front paws and closed his eyes.
