Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 474 Danger
Wu Yue chuckled lightly: "Never mind, it's their bad luck if they don't eat such delicious food. These meatballs were made by Teng Qian after pounding them for an entire afternoon."

As she spoke, she lifted the lid of the pot, and a rich aroma instantly filled the air. Yuan Lang, Teng Qian, and Teng Kun's Adam's apples bobbed as they tried to keep their mouths from watering.

Meanwhile, Yingze's drool was already dripping from the corner of his mouth, making a small crater in the ground.

The group took several steps back with disgusted expressions. Teng Qian picked up a wooden stick and poked Ying Ze, whose eyes were gleaming with a green light, and said, "Can you control yourself? This is too much. It's not like we haven't eaten Yue's food lately."

Yingze raised his hand to wipe the drool that was trickling down his lips, and looked at Yuan Lang and the other two with envy: "You guys are so lucky. This is the first time I've ever eaten such delicious food."

Thinking back to my time in the tribe, when I once got into a fight over a piece of dark, burnt roasted meat, I felt incredibly pathetic.

What's so delicious about that mushy, undercooked roasted meat inside? Is it as tasty as meatballs like these?
Moreover, he secretly watched everything while Wuyue was preparing food today. He'll definitely make this delicious food again when he returns to the tribe. The female beastmen in the tribe will definitely look at Yingze differently, and maybe he'll even be able to find a strong female beastman partner.

The life of an animal couldn't be more wonderful.

Wu Yue picked up a meatball and put it in her mouth. Looking at Ying Ze, who was standing at the entrance of the cave with a silly grin on his face, she looked at Yuan Lang curiously: "You've tried to make amends several times but you don't say a word. You just stand there with that smug grin on your face. What are you thinking?"

Yuan Lang looked up at the orc's dazed eyes and sneered, "It's either gold and silver treasures, power and status, or women."

Let's set aside gold and silver treasures for now, and as for the position of clan leader, it doesn't seem to be a problem for him; that leaves the remaining question.

Which one is left?
Wu Yue looked at the orc warrior who was still grinning foolishly with amusement. Was he in love?
Sure enough, spring has arrived!

He got up and walked to Yingze's side, reaching out to poke the orc's arm: "Wake up, Tengqian is about to finish the food."

Teng Qian, who was stuffing meatballs into his mouth, said, "."

What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think I could finish eating this whole pot?

Yingze woke up from his reverie and met the teasing looks of the group. His old face flushed red, and after coughing twice, he grabbed his small wooden bowl without stopping and rushed to the pot.

While the group was enthusiastically eating, the Laso tribe on the other side was also distributing the day's food, and the one distributing the food was the female who had taught Emma that day.

As she cut up the food, she told Raman about Emma's encounter with Wu Yue that day.

He also mentioned the wild grass that Emma brought back today: "We've never eaten that kind of wild vegetable before, and other tribes haven't either. We don't know why this female would deceive little Emma. Maybe it's a poisonous grass, like the poisonous grass that the Uk tribe uses to control orcs and half-orcs."

Raman glanced at the raw meat and wild vegetables the female handed him, and then, thinking back to the aroma he had smelled when he went there earlier that day, he looked at the still chattering female with amusement.

As they passed by, the female was throwing some washed wild vegetables into the pot, and the aroma wafting out almost made his mouth water.

When the former chieftain was alive, he had accompanied him to several powerful medium-sized tribes in the forest, but none of them could make food that tasted like that, and those wild vegetables were eaten by the tribes themselves.
"Are those wild vegetables Emma brought back still there? They should be edible. When I delivered some to them today, I saw an orc taking some out of a pot and eating it. It must have been the female who went out to gather them today."

The female, who was speaking, was startled. The thought that she had thrown a new edible creature into the fire to burn caused her heart to clench with pain.

Seeing her pale face, Raman sighed deeply. He probably already knew the answer without the female's reply.

“Uncle, I remember that herb.”

A soft voice came from beside Raman.

The two turned to look, and standing by the fire was the petite Emma.

Raman's eyes softened, and he beckoned to Emma: "Emma, ​​come here to your uncle."

Little Emma was holding a piece of raw meat, smaller than her little fist, and was carefully gnawing on it, afraid of wasting even a tiny bit.

Seeing the uncle waving at her, she quickly took small steps and walked over.

"Could you tell Uncle everything you said to that female today?"

Raman was very kind and he also liked the former chieftain's son very much. However, he was always busy with the tribe's food and didn't have much time to talk to the little guy.

Little Emma looked at the uncle who always gave her food from time to time and nodded obediently: "Okay."

The little cub's soft voice slowly recounted everything she and Wu Yue had said and done that day. Although some parts were slightly reversed, she remarkably didn't omit anything.

Upon hearing this, the female beside Raman who was distributing food secretly changed her expression. Raman tore off a piece of food from his hand and handed it to Emma: "Okay, Uncle understands. Little Emma, ​​go play with the other cubs first."

Emma stepped out of her uncle's arms and nodded obediently. Just as she was about to leave, she turned back to Chief Raman and asked, "Uncle, can I go play with that older sister again tomorrow?"

After thinking for a moment, Raman finally nodded and said, "Of course."

Emma's thin face instantly lit up with a smile. The next moment, she glanced guiltily at the female sitting opposite Raman. Seeing that she wasn't being noticed, she whispered, "Can I eat at your place, sister?"

Raman frowned: "If your sister tells you to go, then you can go."

Having resolved the two major concerns on her mind, little Emma ran off feeling light and carefree.

At this moment, Raman and the female fell silent.

Only after all the tribespeople around them had finished eating and gone to sleep in the cave did the two look at each other and breathe a sigh of relief.

"Chieftain, do you think that female might really be..."

It really is a witch!
Earning the respect of orc warriors through his own strength, and also learning about herbs and many new foods, is a skill that only a shaman could possess.

Thinking of how they treated the shaman when they delivered the wild vegetables today, Raman nodded with a wry smile: "That must be it. We were quite rude to the shaman when we delivered the food today."

The female's face paled: "Chieftain, should we apologize to the shaman tomorrow?"

After pondering for a moment, Raman shook his head: "Since that shaman did not reveal his identity to us, there must be a reason. Let's pretend we don't know. But starting tomorrow, we must treat that shaman with more respect."

"Don't tell the tribespeople. Just tell them not to disturb the shaman and their people. As for the cubs," he thought of what Wu Yue had told them earlier that day, "the cubs don't need to be restrained. If they want to go and play, let them. Even if the shaman shares food with the cubs, we shouldn't interfere."

The female nodded repeatedly. She had no thoughts at all now. The thought that she might have been disrespectful to a shaman sent cold sweat down her back.

"You don't need to be afraid. This witch seems to have a good temperament. Besides, we don't know her identity, so she won't blame us."

The female forced a smile, carefully collected the remaining food, and then walked unsteadily toward the cave.

She needs to get a good night's sleep; today was so exciting.

The next morning, Tengqian and Yingze got up early and went hunting with the Lasuo tribe's hunting team.

Carrying the dried meat and water that Wu Yue had prepared for them the day before, the group headed straight for the territory of the Uk tribe.

Tengqian is really going to take his anger out on the Uk tribe right now.

Today, Wu Yue is going out with Yuan Lang to collect some herbs. After all, the Cloud Mist Mountains and the Polar Forest are different, and the herbs will also be different.

Just as the two reached the edge of the forest, a messy little head peeked out from behind a tree: "Sister."

It was Emma, ​​the little girl who had made a promise with Wu Yue yesterday to go out for food.

Wu Yue's eyes curved slightly; she adored this clever and quick-witted little cub.

"Why are you here all alone? This place is very close to the forest, it's dangerous."

Seeing that Wu Yue wasn't angry about yesterday's incident, Little Emma's smile grew even brighter: "Sister, I came here specifically to wait for you. I already talked to Uncle Chief yesterday, and I'll be learning about a lot of herbs and wild vegetables from you. We can also...we can eat at your cave."

The little girl showed no shame at all for taking the initiative to freeload a meal. Her unusually large eyes blinked as she looked at Wu Yue with anticipation.

Little Emma felt that her older sister must be angry because she didn't eat at her sister's place yesterday. She thought that if she went to her sister's place today, her sister would be happy.

She still has a lot to learn from her older sister, so she can't let her sister ignore her.

What bad intentions could a little cub possibly have? It just wants to freeload and get some blood.

"Moon, is this small skeleton from the Laso tribe?"

Emma, ​​with her small frame: "."

Although she didn't know what a skeleton was, subconsciously she felt that it wasn't a nice thing to say.

Wu Yue: "."

Although I secretly refer to the Laso tribe members in this way, wouldn't it be too disrespectful to say it to their faces?

But seeing the deep dissatisfaction with the cub in the orc's eyes, Wu Yue couldn't help but laugh and cry.

I only spoke a few words to the cub and ignored him. What kind of old vinegar did he spill?

“I said yesterday that I would teach little Emma about herbs and food, and I can’t go back on my word. Especially today, with Yuan Lang protecting me, I feel even more at ease and can concentrate on teaching Emma.”

Seeing how much the little female trusted and relied on him, the orc couldn't help but smile, and his gaze towards Emma was no longer as hostile as before.

She's just a tiny little thing, not even as good-looking as me. The little female must be pitying her; she's nowhere near as important as me.

After mentally preparing himself, Yuan Lang straightened his back, his aura became stronger, and even his steps became more resolute.

To Wu Yue's surprise, they didn't collect any herbs this time. Instead, they found several kinds of wild vegetables again. In addition to the kind she found yesterday and the kind that Chief Raman brought, there were two other kinds that Little Emma said their tribe had never eaten before.

The three of them, two adults and one child, collected a whole basket of wild vegetables and returned to the Laso tribe at noon.

To Wu Yue's surprise, the tribespeople patrolling the Laso tribe and the busy females in the tribe no longer looked at them with suspicion, but instead smiled and nodded to greet them. Even when they saw little Emma standing with them, they showed no fear or defensiveness, as if they didn't care at all.

Returning to the cave with a sense of unease, Wu Yue took out some wild vegetables and gave them to Teng Kun to clean, while she pulled Little Emma to sit on the soft stone bed.

"Little Emma, ​​the attitude of your tribesmen towards us has changed so much today! They even smiled at us! Do you know why?"

Little Emma nodded, proudly raising her chin: "It must have been the chief's order. Yesterday, the chief asked me what my sister and I had talked about, and I told him everything. The chief didn't stop me from playing with my sister, and even said that my sister could call me to eat again."

Wu Yue smiled and rubbed the little guy's head, but her fingers got tangled in the messy hair.

Somewhat embarrassed, Wu Yue freed her fingers, realizing that Chief Raman must have guessed her identity from her conversation with Little Emma.

Since they were all pretending not to know, I decided not to bring it up either. After all, they knew nothing about this place, so it was better to keep a low profile.

But
Looking at the little one's muddy hair in front of her, Wu Yue felt she should clean it up for her, since the little one would be following her around for a while.

"Little Emma, ​​can you wash your hair?"

Upon hearing this, little Emma scratched her messy hair and rubbed her tattered animal skins on her body with embarrassment, saying, "The grandmothers said it's too cold outside now, and I'll get sick if I take a bath."

Wu Yue realized that the people here bathed in the small river outside, and the temperature at this time was indeed not warm enough to bathe outside.

"I'll have the orc warriors outside make a wooden tub, and then I'll wash you with warm water right here in the cave. You won't get sick."

In the future, if you ever use herbal remedies to treat others, you must make sure you are completely clean; otherwise, you might worsen the illness.
