Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 364 It was truly a misplaced trust.

The two little females, Qingcao and Aya, ran at the front of the crowd, their loud shouts instantly clearing a blank space around them.

The tribesmen who had moved away picked at their ears, feeling as if their heads were still buzzing from the loud noise.

Seeing how much her two friends missed her, Wu Yue felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

"Yue, hurry up, we've been waiting for you for so long. That guy Tengqian, after your house was built, he wouldn't let any other clansmen in, not even the shaman or the clan chief. He said that the first person to see the house must be the owner of the house."

"Exactly, exactly! We're all about to explode with worry!"

Wu Yue: "..."

So the reason you two were so excited to see me wasn't because you missed me, but because you wanted to see my new house?

What a waste of money! Those two little rascals!
Wu Yue decisively abandoned her two "plastic" sisters and came to the witch's house with the orc warriors.

The courtyard was kept very clean by the two orc warriors, which made Wu Yue think about finding two such thoughtful orc warriors to be her guardian beasts.

The tables and chairs in the room were wiped clean of dust. After gesturing for the group to sit down, Wu then told Wu Yue, "I have already told the four orc warriors about the Fireball Beast. The chieftain and I have also tested the excrement, and it is indeed very heat-resistant."

"Wu Yue, you have made another great contribution to the tribe."

Wu Yue shook her head: "I also live in the Snow Tiger Tribe, and I am a member of our tribe."

Although the initial intention was to make winter easier, one's sentiments should be upgraded when necessary.

Wu nodded with satisfaction and said solemnly, "Everyone has seen the contributions Wu Yue has made to the tribe. If I go to see the Beast God one day, Yue will inherit the position of Wu. I hope you will lead the Snow Tiger Tribe to become even stronger."

The orc warriors around Wu Yue looked at her with utmost respect, and even the Snow Tiger Chieftain looked at her with noticeably more solemnity.

This made Wu Yue realize that the witch's words were not only a reminder to her, but also an affirmation of her identity in front of the orc warriors.

There may be many shaman disciples and shamans in a tribe, but only one can inherit the position of tribal shaman. Other shamans may also be respected by the tribespeople, but compared to the tribal shaman, they are worlds apart.

Along with these words of advice, she was also given a simple-looking wooden cane.

"This is the staff that was passed down to me when I was recognized by the previous witch. It is just right for you to use now. I hope you will make good use of it."

Wu Yue bowed and accepted the document: "Yes, I will definitely inherit the will of the previous shamans and make the Snow Tiger Tribe even stronger."

Wu nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, I'll put you in charge of this trade fair, as a chance for you to gain experience."

Wu Yue: "..."

I've only just taken office, and you're already assigning me this kind of task? Is that really appropriate?

But seeing Wu Zheng's solemn expression, he could only nod miserably.

Holding the ancient wooden staff in his hand, Wu Yue felt as if he were participating in a ceremony to establish a crown prince.

But this is indeed the case for the people of the tribe. If the shaman's status is higher than that of the chief, then the next successor recognized by the shaman already has the same status as the chief.

Seeing the young female enjoy such a high status, Yuan Lang looked at the clan leader and had an idea: he would just have to wait until his strength increased further…

"Alright, you little guys must be tired after just getting back. Go back and rest."

The shaman smiled and waved.

After saying that, he stood up and followed Wu Yue outside.

Wu Yue looked at him with suspicion. Did Wu have something else to say to her?

Seeing her stop, Wu chuckled and said, "I'll go with you to see the new house."

Wu Yue then remembered that Qingcao and Aya had mentioned earlier that Tengqian and the others had already built their houses.

He was secretly delighted and chuckled, "Isn't this because I was waiting for you to go ahead?"

The location of the house was chosen by Wu Yue beforehand. In order to make the layout of the entire tribe reasonable, Wu Yue and Yuan Lang specially found a large piece of animal hide to plan the construction of the entire tribe's houses.

All clansmen who want to build houses must go to Tenggan to choose a pre-planned location; they cannot build arbitrarily on their own.

Hearing what the shaman said, all the beasts followed behind them, clearly wanting to see Wu Yue's house.

After turning past several houses, they finally saw a courtyard that was very different from the others. The fences of the other courtyards were made of rough wood, but this courtyard had a brick wall as high as an orc's waist, and the top of the wall was decorated with a layer of horizontal bricks, which was very unique and beautiful.

The layout of the courtyard is the same as Wu Yue's design, with a small courtyard in front of several houses, and a small pavilion installed near the kitchen.

Outside the small courtyard is a large courtyard, with a path leading from the entrance to the small courtyard in the middle of the large courtyard, and small gardens reserved on both sides for planting.

Wu Yue fell in love with the place the moment she saw it.

The shaman said sourly, "As expected, orcs all prefer young females. The courtyards they build for you are much nicer than the ones for this old man like me."

Wu Yue wiped the sweat from her forehead. "You really shouldn't be making such a pitiful face."

All kinds of daily necessities were prepared in the room, except for the kang (a heated brick bed), which was completely empty.

"Moon? We're here too?"

Two little heads peeked in through the doorway; it was Qingcao and Aya, who had been clamoring to come into the restaurant, Wuyue's new home.

Wu Yue rolled her eyes in annoyance: "Come in, what are you waiting for?"

The two chuckled and ran in from outside the courtyard.

Looking at the state of her room, Wu Yue had to admit that Teng Qian and Teng Kun were indeed biased. Her walls were all cleaned with something, unlike Wu's previous house which still had traces of adhesive.

Seeing the smooth wall, the shaman's primal power finally erupted, and he angrily headed towards the place where bricks and tiles were fired: "You two brats, my wall looks like it's been chewed by a dog, and you won't even fix it. I'm going to find them."

Looking at the witch's huffy and puffy appearance, Wu Yue couldn't help but smile wryly.

After visiting Wu Yue's house, the orc warriors became even more determined to have a house of their own.

After the beastmen left, Qingcao and Aya lingered in Wuyue's house, reluctant to leave. They grumbled and complained for a while before finally bringing in two straw mats from outside.

“This is something Aya and I made up. We specifically asked Tengkun about the size of your kang (heated brick bed).”

Looking at the straw mat without a single splinter, Wu Yue was moved and reached out to hug her two adorable little friends: "Thank you."

Wu Yue's actions, ironically, made the two shameless females who wanted to freeload a meal feel quite embarrassed, and they actually slipped away early.

Watching the two figures slip away, Wu Yue raised her eyebrows smugly.

As soon as these two came in, I knew what they were up to. I had just trekked back, and they wanted me to cook them delicious food. They had no sisterly affection at all! "The smear on the wall is probably the kind of dirt excreted by yellow ants after they've eaten something."

Yuan Lang touched the pale yellow wall and then said.

Wu Yue placed the blue chubby creature, who was fast asleep and unaware of the time, on the kang (a heated brick bed) and walked over to take a closer look: "I really didn't expect that two orc warriors could be so thoughtful."

He looked at the orc warrior beside him and said, "Are all the houses like this where you live?"

Yuan Lang nodded: "These are already people from relatively well-off families."

Then he turned to the little female beside him and asked, "What are the houses like where you live?"

"In our area!"

Wu Yue murmured, "Our country is the world's most populous nation, with some living in simple courtyards and others in low-rise buildings..."

Hearing her describe buildings taller than the trees in the forest and chickens that could fly, Yuan Lang felt he couldn't even imagine it.

I used to think the little female came from the same place as them, but now it seems they are from completely different worlds.

How are you preparing for the trade fair?

Not wanting to listen to the little female talk about the past world anymore, which always made him feel that she was very distant from him, he interrupted the topic when she paused.

Sure enough, Wu Yue's attention was immediately drawn to the trade fair.

She said with a somewhat worried look, "I've never participated in a trade fair here before, so I really don't know what to prepare."

Seeing her wrinkled face, Yuan Lang smiled and said, "It's not as difficult as you think. You just need to arrange the trading location and accommodation for the tribes coming to participate in the trade fair."

During the trade fair, participating tribes are free to hunt within the host tribe's territory; their food is not our responsibility.

Wu Yue's mood instantly brightened; this meant she should start making some careful plans.

Seeing her sly look, Yuan Lang couldn't help but laugh out loud: "What mischievous idea are you plotting?"

Wu Yue gave him an annoyed look: "Speak properly. What do you mean by bad idea? I was thinking that we can't let them live on our tribe's territory for free."

Yuan Lang shook his head: "You can't handle these items. Every trade fair is organized by the host tribe, which provides both the place of residence and the trading venue."

Wu Yue chuckled: "Of course I know that, but we can build different levels of residential areas and trading areas!"

They designated an open space for regular trading and for tent accommodations.

Then build some small rooms to serve as paid accommodations; a certain amount of goods must be paid daily for a place to live, and the same applies to trading areas.

Yuan Lang's eyes lit up slightly. Weren't these inns and shops?

He nodded immediately: "Okay."

And so, the initial idea for a trading place and residence that the outsiders both loved and hated was born today.

After resting for a day, Wu Yue couldn't wait to go to the taro field the next day.

The slaves built simple thatched huts next to the taro field, where they rested and ate every day, making it easier to take care of the taro.

Thanks to their meticulous care, the taro in the field grew very well.

Looking at the vast expanse of taro flowers and the wild bees and butterflies flitting among them, Wu Yue was filled with anticipation.

"Lord Wuyue."

Upon seeing her approach, Nagano led the slaves over to pay their respects.

Yesterday, the tribespeople already knew that Wu Yue had been chosen as the next shaman of the Snow Tiger tribe.

The slaves were overjoyed and excited. With a shaman who treated them so well, their lives would no longer be difficult.

"When did these taro plants start flowering...?"

Wu Yue inquired carefully about the growth of the taro and had Tongzi record it.

It was then discovered that the taro growing time here was practically fast-forwarded compared to that in China.

She found that only a small number of taro leaves had small holes gnawed by insects, and apart from these small holes, there were basically no other pests.

It seems they were captured by the slaves and the pests were dealt with manually. These slaves really had a tough job.

Seeing her staring at the small holes in the leaves, Nagano and the slaves around her became somewhat uneasy.

"Lord Wuyue, these leaves were eaten by insects because we were too slow. Please punish us."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yue smiled and said, "You did a great job. Why should I punish you? I originally thought I would see a lot of bugs, but I didn't expect you to manage the taro field so well."

The slaves, who had expected to be punished, were instead praised. They were relieved and their faces lit up with joy.

Looking at the slaves in front of her, Wu Yue suddenly said, "I'll prepare some insect-repelling medicine during this time and sprinkle it on the taro seedlings so we won't have to go through all this trouble dealing with the insects."

He then smiled and looked at the slaves behind Nagano: "Go do your own thing."

He turned to Nagano and said, "Come with me for a moment."

Nagano bowed in agreement, instructed the slaves to get busy, and then followed Wuyue to a thatched shed.

"Have you been helping to make brick and tile blanks lately?"

Upon hearing this, Nagano shook his head and said, "There's no need to go anymore. A few days ago, there were a lot of bugs in the taro field, so we all came back to catch them. The brick and tile blanks have already been handed over to the males of the tribe to make."

Wu Yue hummed in agreement, and after a long pause, she spoke again: "What kind of house would you like to live in?"

Upon hearing this, Nagano felt as if a thunderbolt had struck him on the head, leaving him somewhat dazed.

His face, tanned dark from years of tending the taro fields, was filled with astonishment. His lips parted several times before he could find his voice: "A...a house? Can we live in a house like that?"

Amused by his incredulous look, she said, "Why not? You're part of the Snow Tiger Tribe too."

With the insect repellent, we won't need as many people in the taro field. You can assign some people to make brick and tile blanks, and I'll tell Teng Qian and Teng Kun that I'll help you fire them.

As for the construction site, just ask Teng Qian. Move all the fired bricks and tiles there.

The place where the slaves lived was planned from the beginning of the month. It was located on the outermost edge of the tribe and was built into small rooms with kang beds and simple stoves. There was also a place to store firewood.
