Chapter 636 - 432: He Has Another Tiger?
’Could Yuan Lang have another tiger on the side?’
But then she remembered his habit of actively sabotaging any potential romance, and for some reason, she wasn’t worried at all.
When Yuan Lang wasn’t talking, he looked the part of a proper tiger—cool, proud, and impossibly noble.
But the moment he opened his mouth, it was guaranteed he wouldn’t have any friends.
Yuan Lang’s very existence was proof that a sharp tongue knows no gender.
The next day, Wu Yue, who usually slept in, actually got up bright and early for once. The poor rooster in the backyard had just fluffed its feathers and stretched its neck to let out a crow or two when a large clump of fresh, tender Qingcao landed on its head.
"GAK!"
The magnificent, majestic rooster was nearly startled into quacking like a duck.
Though it felt quite wronged, the sight of the delicious Qingcao before it was too tempting, and it hopped over to peck away with relish.
’The early rooster gets the Qingcao. The ancients were right after all.’
Wu Yue, of course, had no idea what the rooster was thinking. After feeding all the livestock in the backyard, she dashed off to the front yard to check on the plant fibers she had set out to dry yesterday.
Perhaps because they had been drying all afternoon, the outer layer of fibers had turned a dry, pale yellow, but the bottom layer was still greenish.
Wu Yue slapped her forehead in annoyance. ’I shouldn’t have been so lazy yesterday. If I’d built one more drying rack, they might have been completely dry by now.’
After carefully arranging the drying fibers, Wu Yue shouldered her small basket again, preparing to take a stroll on the back mountain.
She had only taken a few steps when she heard the sound of hurried footsteps behind her.
Puzzled, she turned to look and saw several Beastman Warriors covered in bloodstains catching up from behind.
"Lord Wuyue."
They looked truly wretched. Wu Yue frowned. "What happened to you?"
"Lord Wuyue, a few days ago we found a few more small and medium-sized tribes to come work, but since they were some distance from our tribe, we went to escort them."
"We didn’t expect to run into a Fierce Beast on the way back. Two Beastman Warriors were injured protecting the Pure Humans."
"Their wounds have healed, but for some reason, they can’t feel anything in their bodies and are unable to stand up."
Wu Yue’s expression hardened. She quickly turned around. "Lead the way. I’ll go take a look."
’System, total loss of sensation, inability to stand... what kind of symptoms are these?’
The System, still lazing in bed wrapped in its little blanket in the System Space, rubbed some unknown substance from the corner of its eye. "They probably injured a nerve or some other important part. That’s how it’s always written in the novels I read."
Wu Yue: "..."
’Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable. I basically asked for nothing!’
’I’ll go take a look first. When the time comes, you can help me run a scan.’
"So, about that scanning fee?"
The System picked at its toes, looking at Wu Yue as if it wanted to say something but was holding back.
"Don’t worry. I don’t care about a small fee like that."
Wu Yue gritted her teeth. ’When lives are on the line, all this money-grubbing System can see are points. I really want to smash its damn head in.’
"Heh, of course you don’t care about a small fee. The debts you rack up are rarely small."
"Ah, it looks like we’re almost there. Don’t forget to do the scan, okay?"
System: "..."
’Dog Host, did you really think I wouldn’t notice such an obvious attempt to change the subject?’
The injured Beastman Warriors had already been placed in the tribe’s healing hut. There were even dedicated female and male slaves to look after them, so everything was well-arranged.
In the past, whenever Beastman Warriors came here, they were either shouting at the top of their lungs or groaning and whimpering in pain from serious injuries. It was the first time it had ever been this quiet.
The Snow Tiger Witch had just withdrawn her witch power when she heard footsteps in the courtyard. Seeing it was Wu Yue who entered, she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"My witch power is usually enough for common injuries, but I don’t know what’s wrong with these two. They just won’t wake up. You should take a look."
The Snow Tiger Witch moved aside from her spot by the heated brick bed.
Wu Yue nodded gravely and walked over. She first gathered a bit of witch power and sent it into one of the unconscious Beastman Warriors, but she found no trace of Poisonous Insects or toxins.
This made her frown. ’There has to be a reason for their unconsciousness, right? It can’t be that they just fell asleep because they were tired from the journey, can it?’
"They’ve been unconscious for a day now. We haven’t been able to get any food or water into them. If they keep sleeping like this, they’ll starve to death."
