The beastman: "..."

’I’m an idiot!’

His companion: "..."

’He’s an idiot!’

"You must be the Beastmen from the Extreme Forest Outer Tribe, right? Does this mean the Worm Witch is still in our Polar Forest and hasn’t left?"

The two Beastmen’s faces instantly fell. ’Why does this female know so much? Should we kill her to silence her?’

"You know too much,"

the Beastman’s companion said, his expression suddenly turning vicious.

Wu Yue patted her chest with a terrified look. "The way you’re speaking to me so fiercely... I’m so scared!"

The companion’s ferocious expression instantly cracked. ’What kind of weirdo is this female?’

His fierce look would have definitely made the neighboring tribe’s kids cry, but judging by this female’s reaction, she clearly wasn’t scared at all.

"We’ve been talking for a while now. Haven’t you two noticed that your complexions look a bit strange?"

The two Beastmen froze at her words, then looked at each other.

"..."

"Why is your face so green?"

"So is yours..."

As they spoke, they suddenly whipped their heads around to look at Wu Yue, who was standing there with a placid expression. "What did you do to us?"

Wu Yue flicked her nails. "When the Worm Witch sent you to capture me, didn’t she tell you who I am?"

’Identity?’

The two Beastmen looked completely baffled. ’Isn’t she just a female Witch Disciple?’

Wu Yue smiled at them. "I... am... a witch!"

Those four simple words made the two Beastman Warriors’ faces turn another shade greener.

’Good grief, she’s not a Witch Disciple at all, she’s a full-fledged witch! And judging by our faces, which are as green as unripe fruit, she’s clearly a Poison Witch.’

’A wave of misery washed over them. Why is a beastman’s life so hard?’

Seeing their mournful expressions, Wu Yue let out a mischievous chuckle and casually sat back down in her grass nest.

Seeing her so at ease, the two Beastmen felt an even deeper chill in their hearts.

But the System, who she had nearly flattened with her butt, was so startled its fur was standing on end. "Host, why did you suddenly sit down?! My system life was almost over!"

Wu Yue smiled and picked up the protesting System, which was bouncing on its Short Legs. "Calm down, calm down. My legs just gave out."

The System sat its fat butt on Wu Yue’s lap and felt its Host’s legs still trembling slightly. Although it felt a little mean, it couldn’t help but want to laugh.

"Host, you’re pretty impressive when you’re bluffing."

Wu Yue let out a dry laugh. "Oh, shut up."

Ignoring the annoying System, she looked at the two miserable-looking Beastman Warriors across from her. "How many more of your Beastmen are still in the Polar Forest?"

The two beasts exchanged a glance, then lowered their heads and refused to speak.

Wu Yue chuckled at the sight. "It’s useless to stay silent. Your companions will be here soon, won’t they?

That insect has been gone for a whole night. Since you’re making your move, your companions can’t be too far away.

When they arrive, I’ll just capture all of you and take you back to my tribe. I wonder how the tribe deals with Beastmen from the Extreme Forest Outer Tribe like you?"

The two beasts’ already green faces darkened another shade, and their hearts filled with bitterness.

’Who would have thought the witch they were sent to capture would be such a difficult female?’

Just as the Beastman was wallowing in the sorrow of his impending capture, his companion suddenly lunged forward and attacked Wu Yue.

A flicker of secret delight appeared in his heart. ’That’s it! As long as we get this female under control, we can make her cure the poison in our bodies!’

"BANG!"

However, ideals are one thing, but reality is often harsh. Just as the Beastman was secretly rejoicing, his companion, who had rushed toward Wu Yue, seemed to crash headfirst into an invisible barrier.

His eyes rolled back and he fainted on the spot, not to mention the massive lump that had formed on his head. He looked truly pathetic.

The other Beastman gulped hard, then shuffled over with a strained laugh and dragged his companion back like a sack of potatoes. "Uh, please don’t mind him. Even back in the tribe, his brain never worked quite right. He didn’t mean to offend you."

Wu Yue nodded. "I can see that. Between the two of you, you’re the smarter one. That must be why the Worm Witch entrusted the Poisonous Insect to you."

The Beastman gave a strained laugh and said nothing.

"Besides that Poisonous Insect from yesterday, did the Worm Witch give you any others?"

The Beastman frantically shook his head. "No, no! The witch treasures those Poisonous Insects; she’d never give them to us easily. When she gave that one to me, she told me our lives depended on it."

As he spoke, he started to look aggrieved, his head hanging and his eyes downcast.

"Couldn’t you two have walked a bit farther? You made us travel all night."

Wu Yue was about to ask another question when a flurry of chaotic footsteps, accompanied by the irritable shouts of a Beastman, suddenly rang out.

Her eyes crinkled with a smile as she looked at the Beastman. "See? Your companions have arrived."
