Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 390 Will it work? It has to work, even if it doesn't!
"Can't you just marinate it with salt? Why do you have to stir-fry it with Sichuan peppercorns?"

Yuan Lang looked at the Sichuan peppercorns that the little female had prepared, and his handsome face instantly wrinkled up. He looked at the little female beside him, as if to say something but not quite, as if to tell her not to put this in, because it was too unpleasant to eat.

Seeing the orc's conflicted expression, Wu Yue chuckled and grabbed a handful of Sichuan peppercorns, handing them to him: "Stir-frying salt and Sichuan peppercorns together is to make the cured meat taste better."

"Oh~"

Too lazy to deal with the orc's sudden princess act, Wu Yue slapped him hard on the thigh: "Smack!"

The crisp sound rang out instantly, and even had a slight reverberation due to the cave's influence.

Wu Yue squeezed the muscles under her hand, her eyes narrowing slightly.

Hmm, it feels good to the touch, the muscles are firm, it's a thigh full of power.

"Hahahahaha!"

After hearing his dog host's thoughts, Tongzi, who had been watching the whole thing, let out a 360-degree, all-around, unrestrained burst of laughter in Wu Yue's mind.

"You dog host, are you trying to make me laugh to death? I thought your brain was filled with some kind of dirty joke, but it turns out you're actually identifying ham!"

Wu Yue: "."

Shut up!

But all she got in response was a string of "hahahaha," and Wu Yue could even picture the dog system rolling around laughing hysterically.

"How does it feel?" A deep, husky voice sounded in her ear, and warm, moist breath brushed against the downy hairs around her ear. Wu Yue's ears twitched involuntarily, and the tips of her ears felt burning hot.

Realizing what he had done, he quickly withdrew the salty pig's paw that was still on the orc's thigh.

"Well, I actually wanted to pat you on the back so you could put the stone pot on the stove."

The orc looked at her with a half-smile: "Oh~ I see~"

Wu Yue: "."

What kind of tone is that? Do you doubt that I, a woman who has touched countless celebrity standees and seen the world, would covet your long legs?
"I've also touched countless people who have retired from the Party and the government."

As she spoke, she curled up her hand, which had just touched the orc's thigh, and rubbed it against her skin, her watery eyes slightly narrowed.

It feels good to the touch, much more comfortable than a standee.

Yuan Lang's lips instantly froze, his eyes hardening with coldness, but his voice remained soft and husky: "I wonder whose thighs Lord Wu Yue has touched?"

The coldness emanating from the orc couldn't be more obvious.

Just as Wu Yue was about to be boasted about, she immediately started counting on her fingers in a serious manner: "Chicken legs, pork legs, beef legs, and many, many more. I've also dealt with a lot of prey."

"Is it?"

Yuan Lang's dark eyes curved slightly, and the corners of his lips curved up again: "So our Lady Wuyue is so capable."

Wu Yue chuckled dryly and nodded repeatedly: "Of course, I'm quite a diligent little female."

The system, which was about to burst out laughing, sat up upon hearing this and looked down on its dog host's current state: "Dog host, your survival instinct is so strong, you really don't seem like a lifelong single dog."

Wu Yue felt that having such a dog system was a great misfortune in her life, and she really wanted to use her witch power to turn into a pitchfork and drive the dog system away.

The little female's big, watery eyes blinked and looked at him. Yuan Lang felt as if a thousand tiny hands were gently scratching his heart. He was so excited.

I want to touch it~
But thinking of the seemingly soft and cute little female in front of him when she went berserk, he put away his tiger claws, which were itching to strike.

Um.
Hunting requires patience.

After patting Wu Yue's messy hair, Yuan Lang straightened up and walked to the side, placing the already cleaned stone pot on the stove.

The flames continued to scorch the stone pot, and the moisture inside was evaporated by the high temperature, making the pot dry again.

"Now you can pour the salt and Sichuan peppercorns in."

The salt and Sichuan peppercorns in the pot were bubbling. Wu Yue, who hadn't heard the orcs speak for a long time, turned around to look, but couldn't see the orcs. She immediately got a little angry.

"Yuan Lang?"

Holy crap, in this pitch-black cave, is this guy really going to abandon her, a petite, thin, and delicate little female?

"Lower your head."

Yuan Lang looked at the little female in front of him who kept looking up and around, speechless.

If I am of such high standing in your heart, then why did you just think that you could reach my back while sitting down?
So even if you try to say you didn't intentionally grope me, I won't believe you.

Hearing the sound, Wu Yue looked down and saw the orc sitting on his animal skin, throwing firewood into the stove with a helpless expression.

It was really awkward; I felt like I'd revealed something.

Once she confirmed that the orc was still there, Wu Yue focused on her work.

After the salt and peppercorns in the pot had released their aroma, Wu Yue looked at the orc beside her and said, "Take the stone pot down. This salt needs to cool down before we can use it."

"It takes a while for the salt to cool, so let's eat something first."

After placing the salt on a stone platform to the side, Yuan Lang returned to the stove and scooped out a few potatoes from the fire.

After brushing off the black ash, the orcs' thick hides came in handy.

The dark, roasted potatoes, once broken open, released a wonderful aroma.

Wu Yue felt as if some unknown substance was flowing out of the corner of her mouth again.

"Host, your naive and unsophisticated appearance is truly embarrassing."

Wu Yue: "."

As long as you shut up, we can still be good friends.

The two of them ate all the roasted potatoes with gusto, their stomachs feeling warm and cozy.

Wu Yue patted her round belly and sighed, "It was so delicious, I'm stuffed."

"Would you like me to rub it for you?"

Although Yuan Lang was asking a question, the instant his words fell, his hot palm was already on Wu Yueyuan's round belly, and he began to slowly massage it.

After giving him a 'good job' look, Wu Yue comfortably leaned back on the orc's raised legs and closed her eyes.

Yuan Lang: "."

How should I put it? I suddenly realized that the little female is not only from a matriarchal country, but also has a very high status there. What's with her smooth and enjoyable posture when she's being served?

Isn't it a little too smooth?
Enjoying the orc's massage service, Wu Yue slept very comfortably.

"The salt has gone cold."

"Wake up! Marinate the meat before you go home."

"Snapped!"

The loud slap echoed in the cave. The noisy fly was killed. Wu Yue finally curled her lips in satisfaction and even arrogantly pinched the fly's 'corpse'.

It's astonishing that this is indeed the world of beasts; even flies have muscles.

Do flies have muscles?

As if remembering something, Wu Yue suddenly opened her eyes and turned her head stiffly to look.

Why does the Lushan Claw on the orc's pectoral muscle behind me look so familiar?

"Yue is too impatient. If you don't mind, let's get married sooner." Wu Yue chuckled dryly and quickly withdrew her hand from the other person's chest. "I just felt like there were flies buzzing in my ear, so I swatted them away."

Cang Yuanlang Fly: "So, in your heart, I am like a fly."

A look of sorrow and grief suddenly appeared on the orc's handsome face. His beautiful brows furrowed slightly, and even the curve of his lips was tinged with sadness.

Seeing Yuan Lang like this, Wu Yue inexplicably felt like a scumbag woman who had hurt an innocent man.

"I was just half asleep, and besides, what fly is this handsome?"

Yuan Lang: "."

You'd better shut up.

Seeing that her attempts to explain were only making things worse, Wu Yue simply gave up and stopped trying.

He hopped up and walked towards the stone pot: "Let's get to work!"

Seeing her red ear tips, Yuan Lang, who had been looking resentful behind her, raised his eyebrows. Where was the resentment from before? He looked like a smug young master.

Of course, it would be even more convincing if the young master's animal skin skirt were replaced with a brocade robe.

"Let me do it. You teach me how to do it."

Although the wild boar was cut up, the pieces of meat were still quite large, making it difficult for the young female to evenly apply the salt.

Are you sure you can do it?

Wu Yue looked at the tall and handsome orc behind her with some suspicion. This must be the first time the general has ever done this job of curing salted meat.

But the orc's response was a sudden, dark, and profound look in his eyes: "Do you think I'm up to the task?"

The orc's voice was somewhat dangerous, and his gaze towards him carried an unspeakable depth.

"Host, you're really asking for trouble. How can a man be impotent? He has to be capable, even if he can't!"

The system kept bouncing around, its little voice full of contempt for its dog host.

Wu Yue suddenly realized what a deadly question she had asked.

Looking into the orc's deep, dark eyes, shouldn't I try to make amends immediately?

The little female, brimming with survival instinct, quickly stood up with a chuckle: "Well, what I meant was whether you could make good marinated meat. I absolutely didn't mean to doubt your... well, you know."

Looking at your figure and physique, if you can't do it, who can? You're absolutely top-notch!

You're the best!

After saying that, he gave a thumbs-up and nodded with a look of certainty.

Seeing the little female's timid appearance, Yuan Lang chuckled in a low voice: "Yes, I am the best. You will know how great I am."

Wu Yue chuckled and nodded: "Great!"

Damn it, what else can we do but play dumb at this point?
She was desperate too.
'I'm even more desperate!'

The system frantically scratched its little head, unable to recall what crazy thing it had done to choose such a silly host.

To avoid continuing to harp on whether it would work or not, Wu Yue adopted the most serious expression possible and began teaching the orcs how to cure meat.

Seeing the little female's serious expression, Yuan Lang suppressed a laugh. He had said everything he needed to say, so there was no point in trying to keep her face straight.

"First, apply it evenly and carefully, making sure not to miss any area, and then rub it repeatedly for a while."

How to knead it?

Wu Yue: "."

Why do you look so strange?

Hello! Is this 110?

Someone here is driving with their eyes on me, and at a speed that exceeds the limits of what's acceptable in their eyes. They've already run over my face countless times.

Why is this orc being so unserious today?
"It's like rubbing clothes."

What the hell? What else do you want me to say? You indecent beast!

Yuan Lang looked at the little female with a wrinkled face in front of him with a look of sudden realization, his heart almost bursting with laughter: "You should have said so earlier!"

Wu Yue clutched her animal skin skirt: "."

Nobody can stop me today, I'm going to kill him!
They tried to save him for a long time, but nothing came out.

Tongzi jumped out, scratching his head, "What is it? It's really unethical to only say half of what you mean."

Wu Yue: "I won't eat anything at night."

Tongzi fell silent.
After a long time, just as Wu Yue thought the system had left out of boredom, the voice of an old father advising his silly son rang in her mind: "You dog host, don't you have any self-awareness? Your belly is bigger than your chest, what are you still eating? Digest it first."

Wu Yue's face stiffened.
My chest and stomach have been utterly insulted!

"Tongzi, you're really something else. You're not exactly immune to physical pain. You don't seem to have fully grasped the saying 'Leave a way out for yourself when you're home.'"

"Dog host, what wicked thoughts do you have about my body? You wouldn't even spare a cute little beast, are you... are you even human?"

Wu Yue: "."

So much drama, such great acting, your acting is superb!
"Am I some kind of beast? How could I possibly have any improper thoughts about a creature as short as my own calf?"

"Dog host, it's rare to find someone who understands you so well. I'm truly touched."

As Tongzi spoke, she even sobbed a few times, quite fittingly, as if she were truly gratified.

Wu Yue decisively blocked the dog system. If she continued, she was afraid that she would be arrested by the Wildlife Conservation Association for allegedly molesting a nationally protected animal.

What happens after kneading?

Yuan Lang looked at the little female with a contorted face beside him.

Wu Yue pointed to the large vat next to her: "Just put them into the vat. We'll come back in three days to switch the top and bottom pieces of meat, marinate them for another four days, and then we can proceed to the next step."

Yuan Lang nodded, picked up the large vat that was placed to the side, and then, together with Wu Yue, placed the kneaded pork into the vat.

Wu Yue placed a straw mat on the top layer of cured meat: "Just put that big stone on the straw mat."

Finally, cover it with the wooden lid.

Half of the wild boar had already filled the two large vats, so the two men had to take the rest of the meat home.

While Wu Yue was happily marinating meat, little did she know that a huge uproar was brewing in the Rock Salt Tribe.

The tribespeople who went to the Arctic Forest to attend the trade fair have returned, but the priestess was seriously injured.

News of the witch's injury spread quickly throughout the tribe, naturally bringing joy to some and sorrow to others.

The first thing the rock salt tribe witch did upon arriving at the tribe was to have an orc warrior lead her to the witch's stone house.

The rock salt tribe shaman looked at the witch's rotting, foul-smelling wound with a grave expression: "The injury is severe, and it has been delayed for too long."

After saying that, he looked up at the shaman disciple on whom he had placed high hopes, and sighed deeply.

Although his witchcraft has some healing abilities, his life force is not very strong, since his witchcraft is primarily for divination.
