The Beastmen were all dumbfounded...

’You... you can actually do that?’

"What if no one comes to trade for us?"

The Angry Beast asked cautiously.

Wu Yue shot him a contemptuous look. "You can’t be the kind of Beastmen your tribe would just abandon, right?"

The Angry Beast glared. "No matter the tribe, Beastman Warriors are always powerful."

Hearing this, Wu Yue snickered. "So what are you worried about? As long as your tribesmen come for the trade, I’ll let you go back."

The Angry Beast: "..."

’I don’t know why, but seeing you smile like that gives me a really bad feeling.’

The rain was still pouring down outside the cave. Once the rains of the great rainy season started, they would continue until the very end of the season.

So Wu Yue ignored the listless Beastmen, sat down in her nest of grass, and began to weave a grass cloak.

The Beastman Warriors in the cave were all strong and sturdy, so a little rain was nothing to them. After all, Beastmen were badass enough to hunt even during the great rainy season.

’But as for me...’

’It’s better not to push my luck with this body I have now.’

She wove half of her grass nest into a grass cloak large enough to envelop her entire body.

After gathering her belongings, she handed them all to the surrounding Scorpion Tribe Beastmen to hold, then looked toward the Angry Beast.

When he saw her gaze land on him, the Angry Beast inexplicably had a bad premonition. His whole body tensed. "What do you want?"

Seeing his terrified expression, like a damsel cornered by a villain, Wu Yue rolled her eyes. "Are you hungry?"

The Angry Beast dug at his ears in disbelief. "Say what?"

’Did this terrifying little female just ask me if I was hungry?’

Though he didn’t know what she was planning, being an honest Beastman, the Angry Beast still nodded. "Starving."

’I’m about to starve to death, you know! We’ve been pushing on through the rain, even skipping meals just so we could bring back this little female the witch specifically ordered us to capture.’

’And what’s the result?’

’The little female wasn’t caught. Instead, I was the one who got taken down. Heh...’ 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Wu Yue nodded, plopped down by the fire, and waved her hand. "Then choose three Beastmen to go out and hunt. We’ll set off for the tribe after we’ve eaten."

Upon hearing this, the Angry Beast’s eyes lit up, and the stomachs of the surrounding Beastmen also began to sing a gurgling tune.

In the end, the Angry Beast went out with three other Beastmen. Even on such a rainy day, they managed to bring back four wild animals.

Wu Yue, wrapped in her grass cloak, stood at the mouth of the cave. She watched the downpour outside and suddenly sighed.

’Before, on a holiday with weather like this, she would absolutely have been curled up at home, sleeping blissfully.’

’But now...’

The Angry Beast scratched his head. "We’re all unmated. We can’t turn into our beast forms to carry you."

Thinking of their beast forms, Wu Yue’s face immediately stiffened.

’Dude, even if you offered to carry me in your beast form, I wouldn’t dare ride you. With a giant poisonous stinger hanging over my head, I’d be traumatized for life, you know?’

"It’s fine, it’s fine. Carrying me on your back is okay."

The Angry Beast heaved a sigh of relief, feeling as if his chastity had been preserved.

Wu Yue looked over at the two Beastmen who had kidnapped her, who had since woken up. "You two remember the way back, right?"

The two Beastmen nodded dejectedly. "We remember."

Wu Yue lifted her chin. "Good. Lead the way."

With that, she wrapped the grass cloak tightly around herself, hopped onto the Angry Beast’s back, and said, "Let’s go."

It had started raining shortly after Wu Yue was kidnapped, which made tracking them extremely difficult. The downpour had long since washed away any traces they might have left behind.

This left the Snow Tiger Tribe Leader and the other Snow Tiger Beastmen in a somber mood.

"Clan Leader, which tribe’s Beastmen could have possibly captured Yue?"

The Snow Tiger Tribe Leader’s expression was grim as he remained silent. ’It wasn’t easy for the tribe to finally produce such a talented witch, and now she’s been so easily snatched away by Beastmen from who-knows-where.’

"There’s movement in the forest ahead."

A Beastman standing guard up ahead suddenly called out.

The Clan Leader’s expression grew stern. "Everyone, take cover."

In an instant, the forest returned to its previous state, with not a single trace of the Beastmen’s presence to be seen.

"How much longer?"

Wu Yue turned her head and asked the Scorpion Beastman leading the way.

The Scorpion Beastman looked around, wiped the rain from his face, and said, "We should be able to get back to the Snow Tiger Tribe by the afternoon."

Wu Yue nodded. "Let’s pick up the pace. There’s nowhere to rest around here. If we can’t reach the tribe before dark, we’ll be stuck in the rain all night."
