Surviving in the Beast World with a System-Chapter 49: The Gift

Wu Yue’s lip twitched. "My mate can only have me, and I will only have one mate." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Her tone was so serious that the other two in the room were both a little surprised.

Qinghua was blunt. Her brow furrowed as she said with clear disapproval, "Yue, a powerful Beastman Warrior won’t have just one mate."

Powerful warriors get to have more and better mates. That’s the rule across the entire continent.

Wu Yue nodded. "I’m not going to force it. If he can’t have me as his only mate, then I don’t want him."

The two were stunned by Wu Yue’s statement. ’Does Yue not want to live anymore?’

Wu Yue knew there was a gap in their thinking, so she deliberately changed the subject. "So, what kind of food should I give to the Yuanlang Warrior?"

Qingcao and Qinghua glanced around Wu Yue’s home, only spotting some "spoiled bitter greens" on a shelf in the corner.

Qingcao’s expression immediately turned disapproving. "Yue, if you can’t finish your bitter greens, you could give them to the elders and children in the tribe who don’t have food. Why would you just let them spoil here?"

Standing beside her, Qinghua’s expression was also complicated. She looked at the pile of bitter greens with deep regret, her lips moving as if she wanted to say something, but nothing came out.

But Wu Yue could read a trace of disappointment in their eyes. ’Are they disappointed in me?’

She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

She walked over to the corner, grabbed a handful of the greens, and handed them to the two with a smile. "These aren’t spoiled. Look, they’re dried bitter greens I made."

Qinghua and Qingcao were taken aback. They awkwardly took the greens and sniffed them. "Huh?"

There really was no spoiled smell. "But Yue, these are all dried out. Are they still edible?"

Wu Yue gave a mysterious smile. "Of course. How about I use these to make a dish for the Yuanlang Warrior?"

Qinghua poked her on the forehead. "Forget it. Beastman Warriors hate eating wild vegetables. Amu brought over a piece of meat today. I’ll bring it to you later."

Wu Yue knew how rare a meat-based meal was for Qinghua and her family, so how could she possibly accept? She quickly waved her hands. "No way! It’s rare enough for you to get meat. How can you give it to me?"

"Besides, I don’t even want to be that Yuanlang Warrior’s mate."

"He must know how difficult things are for a Pure Human’s household. The dried bitter greens are a gesture. It’s the thought that counts. If he accepts them, he’ll eat them. If not, so be it."

Seeing her serious expression, Qinghua could only sigh helplessly and mutter, "You foolish little female. To turn down such a good opportunity right in front of you."

"It’ll be hard for you to even get near the Yuanlang Warrior in the future."

Qingcao nodded. "That’s right. Yue, you don’t know this, but the Yuanlang Warrior is handsome, well-built, and an amazing hunter. Many females in the tribe want to be his mate."

She then added indignantly, "That annoying female, Ye Duo, still hasn’t found a mate because she wants to be Yuan Lang’s first mate."

Wu Yue froze. She thought of Ye Duo’s "King Kong Barbie" physique, then of the tall and handsome Yuan Lang. "..."

’I feel like I’m letting my language arts teacher down. The image forming in my mind... I don’t even have the words to describe it.’

She shuddered and said casually, "Who cares about them? Maybe the Yuanlang Warrior is into her type."

Qingcao huffed. "Of course he’d like her. Ye Duo is the most popular female among the males in the tribe."
