Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 401 The Overly Sweet Gray Fruit

Early the next morning, the grumpy orc set off with his tribesmen, only saying goodbye to the patrolling tribesmen as he left.

Upon hearing the report from the patrolling orcs, Captain Poison Scorpion sighed deeply. It seemed that his people were also disappointed with the selection process.

What he didn't know was that the irritable orcs and their people who left didn't return to their tribe at all, but instead headed towards the polar forest.

On the territory of the Snow Tiger Tribe, a dozen or so prey of varying sizes lay scattered in a clearing in front of a tall forest; all of them were dead.

Only two orc warriors were guarding the area, and voices could be heard coming from the woods behind them.

Yuan Lang looked at the split fruit on the tree and frowned slightly: "It seems that these gray fruits are no longer edible."

Looking through the crack, the surface was covered with solidified, white-yellow flesh.

He picked a gray fruit, peeled it, broke off some of the flesh, and put it in his mouth.

The next moment, his handsome face contorted in pain.

The cloying sweetness in his mouth, which made his scalp tingle, made him feel unwell.

Seeing their captain's appearance, the surrounding beastmen could only turn away with 'restraint,' but the next moment they laughed so hard they were shaking.

Yun Lang flicked his wrist, intending to throw away the gray fruit in his hand.

But after frowning and looking at it for a long time, he still reluctantly threw it into the basket behind him, and even picked a few more.

"Captain, these gray fruits are hard to eat. Even the females don't like them. The little females won't like them either if you take them back."

It's no secret that Yuan Lang likes Lord Wu Yue; everyone in the Snow Tiger Tribe knows it.

Although females prefer sweet things more than orcs, they still can't stomach this overly sweet fruit.

Yuan Lang glanced at the orc: "I've never seen Yue before, take her back to show her."

After returning to the tribe, Yuan Lang took a few gray fruits from his basket and went to find Wu Yue.

Standing at the gate of the courtyard, watching the little female bustling about inside, I felt a warmth in my heart.

"Lord Wu Yue."

A deep, chuckling voice of an orc echoed in the courtyard. Wu Yue paused, looked up, and saw the orc pushing open the door to enter.

"Back from the hunt?"

After glancing at him, she lowered her head and continued with her own work.

Yuan Lang and the others are leaving in the next few days, so she needs to hurry up and prepare more pills for them to take with them.

"I brought back some grey fruit today, but unfortunately, the pulp inside has completely solidified, and the taste is awful."

The orc's dark brows furrowed: "It's really not good."

Wu Yue raised an eyebrow: "Judging from your expression, I'm starting to get curious."

Yuan Lang smiled and took out the gray fruit he had opened earlier, breaking off a small piece of the flesh and handing it to her: "Want to try some?"

Wu Yue glanced at the white-yellow flesh on her fingertips: "It won't be too bitter, will it?"

"Not bitter, extremely sweet."

Extremely sweet?

Wu Yue took the fruit pulp and put it in her mouth. The pulp had turned into a soft, jelly-like texture. Perhaps because it was moist, it wasn't very dry or tough.

But the rejection made her scalp tingle instantly, and her whole face scrunched up.

"Yuan Lang, can't we act like human beings?"

Damn it, this feeling is even worse than having a mouthful of saccharin in my mouth.

She ran to the side and spat out the fruit in her mouth, rinsing her mouth several times before she recovered.

When she returned, her eyes were filled with distress as she looked at the gray fruit: "This thing used to be delicious, but now it's a nightmare."

Seeing the look of disgust on her face as she looked at the gray fruit, Yuan Lang immediately laughed: "I have several more here, I brought them back for you."

Wu Yue wrinkled her nose and said, "I really can't eat it, it's too sweet."

Her preference for fruit has never changed; she doesn't like overly sweet fruits, but prefers those that are sweet and refreshing.

Yuan Lang, who had brought her countless fruits, naturally knew her preferences. However, the sweetness of the gray fruit reminded him of the candied fruit his grandfather would stuff into his mouth after he took his medicine when he was a child.

He disliked sweets and also disliked the taste of candied fruit at that time.

"I was just thinking that since these gray fruits are so sweet, maybe they could be used to make some candied fruit."

"Candied fruit?"

Wu Yue turned to look at him.

Yuan Lang nodded: "It's sweet, perhaps some females and cubs will like to eat it."

What he didn't know was that Wu Yue thought of something else after hearing about candied fruit.

He immediately perked up: "Now that you mention it, it's definitely worth a try. I wonder how long these grey fruits can be stored now?"

"These can be stored for five days, but no longer. If you want them in the future, you'll have to collect more."

Wu Yue nodded: "Okay."

"I made some pills and powders."

However, some important pills will take some time to prepare, approximately three days.

Yuan Lang looked at the little female in front of him, a faint smile in his handsome eyes: "Lord Wuyue's love for me is indeed deep. I understand your feelings."

Wu Yue: "."

God Nima's love is so profound. Who was it that came to me a few days ago, whining and begging for medicine?
Am I having some kind of terrible hallucination?
"Why are you looking at me like that? I know you are very beautiful, but as a little female, it's not appropriate for you to stare at a male like that. You should be more reserved."

Yuan Lang bent down slightly: "If Yue wants to see it, I'll come find you tonight after the clansmen have gone to sleep."

Wu Yue, with a blank expression, said, "I'm just surprised by your shamelessness. What kind of imagination have you been having?"

And even if it's just to see your stunning good looks, why do you have to come over late at night when it's all quiet? It makes me feel like I'm having an affair, which is kind of exciting.
Stimulate?

Wu Yue forced herself to stop her increasingly erratic thoughts. What was the point of all this stimulation? It was one thing for orcs to be shameless, but she was a very reserved person.

"Lord Wuyue, are you there?"

As the two were imagining things, a male voice came from outside the door.

Yuan Lang frowned, turned around, and very consciously said, "Come in."

Wu Yue: "."

Your overly familiar manner makes me angry. Doesn't it show any respect for me, the true owner?

As the door was pushed open, an orc warrior walked in; he was the orc warrior guarding the food storage cave in the back mountain.

At this moment, his body was covered with strips of flesh that looked hard and protruding.

Wu Yue couldn't be more familiar with this presentation.

"Lord Wuyue, today Grandma Huashu led people to clean up the food storage cave. It seems that the meat you stored in the cave is no longer edible."

This meat looks like it could be used as a weapon.

"Please bring this into the storeroom for me." The orc warrior and Yuan Lang hung up the cured meat together and left. Wu Yue looked at the row of cured meat on the wall, feeling excited.

"Would you like to stay for dinner tonight?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Lang's smile deepened slightly: "Since the little female wants me to stay so much, I naturally can't let you down."

Wu Yue: "."

You should leave.

“Go and tell Grandma Green Grass, Grandma Flower Tree, and the shaman and chieftain that they should come to my place for dinner and let them taste the cured meat.”

Yuan Lang frowned: "Why did you call these people?"

How annoying!
"Host, have you forgotten someone very important?"

Tongzi's voice suddenly rang in my mind, unusually serious.

The dog system's unusually serious voice startled Wu Yue. After frowning and thinking for a while, she hesitated and said, "There shouldn't be any more. I've thought about it carefully, and these are the only ones left."

The blue robot cat peeked out from her handbag and watched its host racking its brains. But it never expected that its diligent and dedicated system would be so devoted to its host. Suddenly, it felt like its heart was shattered.

"Have you forgotten me, the system that has been with you through thick and thin all this time?"

Wu Yue's face stiffened: "."

He looked down at his own dog-like system and asked, "Are you even human?"

system:"."

There's a phrase I want to say, but I don't know if I should.

"You dog host, don't you feel any remorse for abandoning your long-lost system?"

Doraemon's furry face was full of anger, and the fur on its back stood on end. It couldn't help but bark and scold its dog host for being heartless.

But the only sound that came out was a string of meaningless "woowoo".

"Is this furry little thing having a fit?"

Yuan Lang looked down when he heard the shout and saw the blue fat man with his fur standing on end and claws waving, looking very angry.

Looking at Tongzi who was 'having an attack', Wu Yue calmly reached out and pressed his head, which was no bigger than her own palm, into her bag: "Maybe he ate the wrong thing."

In short, he took the wrong medicine.

The ruthlessly suppressed leader silently curled himself into a ball. In this vast world, he was the only leader struggling to survive in solitude. The leader's life was truly as lonely as snow.

Meanwhile, the group of irritable orcs who had already left the Crimson Flame Plains thought they could sneak into the Arctic Forest again, just like last time, and head straight to the Snow Tiger Tribe without any obstacles.

Unexpectedly, they were captured by a group of orc warriors from the Flying Eagle Tribe as soon as they reached the edge of the polar forest.

They were all listlessly carried by eagle claws, swaying in the blue sky.

Well, as an orc warrior who always walks on land, I suddenly experienced the feeling of flying, and I felt a little dizzy.

The orc warriors of the Flying Eagle Tribe led the group of irritable orcs back to the tribe and handed them over to the Flying Eagle Shaman.

“Witch, we found them at the edge of the forest. They seem to be orcs from the Poison Scorpion tribe. They're acting suspiciously; it can't be anything good.”

sneaking?

The irritable orc looked at the Flying Eagle Tribe orc warrior who had spoken: "Were we acting suspiciously there?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sharp gazes of the Flying Eagle Tribe orcs around him shot out.

The irritable orc's skin tightened: "."

Damn it, he felt so unlucky. He knew that the Flying Eagle tribe had been nearly wiped out by their own shaman, and he felt that he was really unlucky.

The Flying Eagle Witch looked at the irritable orc with a wrinkled face, and after a moment of silence, he spoke: "Are you the Poison Scorpion Orc who failed to kidnap Yue last time and was instead left behind?"

The grumpy orc: "Heh. It's me."

Moreover, people don't actually need to say such things. Don't I have any pride?

The Flying Eagle Witch's eyes flashed sharply: "What brings you all to our polar forest?"

Having said that, he gathered his sorcery power and slowly enveloped the group: "Could it be that your sorcerer sent you to bring some kind of Gu worms to harm us again?"

The irritable orc looked at the magical energy that was coming towards him, and his hair stood on end: "We didn't bring any Gu worms. We just had something very important to discuss with Lord Wuyue, so we sneaked over here."

The spreading witch power paused, then slowly retreated, finally being withdrawn by the witch: "Looking for the moon?"

The grumpy orc nodded quickly: "Yes, this matter is very important. We also sneaked out."

Flying Eagle Witch narrowed his dark eyes slightly: "What is it?"

"We can't say now; we can only tell Wu Wuyue what happened."

The grumpy orcs aren't stupid; their hatred for the Crimson Plains tribe is written all over their faces.

Especially since their own shaman almost wiped out an entire tribe with his poisonous insects.
Thinking about it made the irritable orc want to cry.

Damn it, is his brain made of shit?

Why would you inform on someone?

Am, he's so scared.

Flying Eagle Witch sneered: "Do you think you can just say whatever you want once you're here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the magical power that had just been withdrawn surged forth again.

The irritable orc shuddered: "This matter is very important. It will endanger the entire tribe of the polar forest and may even cause your demise. I am only telling Wuyue."

Flying Eagle Witch frowned: "Danger?"

Seeing that the magical power in their shaman's hand was gradually dissipating, the members of the Flying Eagle tribe immediately stepped forward.

“Witch, none of these orcs from the Crimson Flame Plains are good people. They almost wiped out our Flying Eagle Tribe because of the deal we agreed on. Such a tribe is not trustworthy.”

"Yes, witch, our tribe's children almost couldn't let them go."

The gazes of the surrounding Flying Eagle tribe members were like knives scraping against them.

Although it was highly disrespectful, the hot-tempered orc really wanted to give his shaman a piece of his mind.

They released a Gu worm, but it had no effect whatsoever. Not only did it amount to nothing, but it also angered all the polar forest tribes.

Although he was panicking inside, the irritable orc still managed to support his trembling legs.

"Please believe me, this matter is really important. We were captured by the Snow Tiger Tribe before, but we were able to safely get through the rainy season thanks to Wu Yue's care."

That's why I secretly left the tribe to tell Wu Yue about it.

That look in his eyes—it was so sincere.

Flying Eagle Shaman stood up and looked at the tall orc warrior beside him: "Get ready, I'll take them to the Snow Tiger Tribe tomorrow."

The orc frowned: "Witch, do you really believe what these scorpion tribe orcs say? What if they..."

What if they bring Gu worms with them again?
The Flying Eagle Witch looked at the irritable orc: "Whether it's true or not, we'll know once we see the moon."
