Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 500 The Witch's Blessing
The two men shrank back, nodded timidly, and hurriedly led the way.

But deep down they hoped that the tribespeople in the settlement would leave as soon as possible. After the incident with the corn fruit, these wanderers had completely lost trust in the Snow Moon Tribe.

Yingyan had been to the cave in the settlement before, so the two of them didn't think about taking a detour and were very honest.

"Chief, Father!"

A childish voice, trembling with sobs, rang out from the jungle ahead. The chief and Gan felt as if a boulder had struck their hearts, causing them excruciating pain. Had none of their people left?
The head, which had been hanging limply, suddenly lifted up and looked in the direction from which the sound came. The rustling jungle swayed, and a small head emerged.

It was little Ayu.

The little guy waved his arms excitedly when he saw the leader and his father, but when his eyes turned to those familiar tall figures, he stuck out his little bottom and tried to crawl back inside, only to be pricked by the small branches and wince.

Brun found it amusing and prepared to step forward to rescue him, but Gan, disregarding the thorns of the bushes, pushed aside the branches and carried the little guy out.

He also slapped her twice: "Why did you run away? Do you know how worried Amu will be if you go missing?"

The little guy rubbed his dry bottom, his eyes brimming with tears: "I miss my father and the chief."

Meeting the little one's worried eyes, Gan couldn't bring herself to say any words of reproach, but her heart was filled with sorrow.

He and the chief were old, and as long as the people of the settlement could escape, it didn't matter if they were killed.

But Ayu is still young, he's still a cub, does he have to suffer the same fate as the other two?
They exchanged a glance with the leader, and deep sadness welled up in both of their eyes.

They were not far apart, but when the group arrived at the cave, there wasn't a single homeless person in the gathering place.

Where have your people gone?

Wu Yue turned to look at the wandering leader and asked in confusion.

Could it be that they went out to look for this little cub named Ayu?
“Honorable shaman, we had already discussed leaving this place because Ayu came back to report the news. We just didn’t expect that the two of us would be captured in the end. The rest of the tribe should have already left.”

The leader lowered his head and said respectfully.

His hands were clenched into fists at his sides, and he didn't dare to look up at the imposing shaman, for fear of revealing his true colors.

Wu Yue stared at him with indifferent eyes for a long time before smiling and saying, "It's alright, the three of you are fine too."

As the weakest member of the team, Bren took it upon himself to clean up the cave.

Since teaming up with Wu Yue and her group to steal herbs, he has come to understand some of their habits. Although the cave they live in doesn't need to be particularly nice or smooth, it must be clean and free of any strange smells.

He grumbled and went to the side to break off some branches and tuck them together. He then used them to clear out the cave of unidentified bones that were covered in teeth marks and had been gnawed to a great extent, along with some wilted wild vegetables, dry grass scraps, and small stones.

He rubbed his aching lower back. It seemed he would have to find a female to live with when he returned to the tribe. After being with this team for a while, he was starting to dislike his former self.

The thought of his cave, filled with the smells of food scraps, sent a chill down his spine.

But looking down at the branch in his hand, he realized he would rather go hunting than do that.

He shamelessly sidled up to Wu Yue and said, "Lord Wu Yue, the cave smells rather unpleasant. Could you give me a few of your fragrant herbs so I can fumigate the cave?"

It must be Xun, he remembered that Lord Wuyue had said that last time.

Since the cave was where he would be staying, Wu Yue naturally wouldn't be stingy and readily took out a handful of dried mugwort and handed it to him: "Be careful when you're fumigating."

Brun chuckled, his eyes narrowing into slits, and with cheerful little steps, picked up a burning piece of firewood and headed towards the cave.

"Hehe, this herb smells so good. I'll keep a couple to take back with me. I'll use it when I get married, and my partner will smell this...hehehehehe."

A lewd laugh drifted out of the cave. The men around the fire exchanged bewildered glances: "Just stealing a few herbs, and you're this happy?"

Wu Yue chuckled: "Judging from that lewd laughter, he must have been thinking about something lewd."

Having spent so much time with Yuan and the others, Yingyan gradually understood some of the things they would occasionally say among themselves. He naturally knew the meaning of "lewd" and gave the cave a disdainful look.

Unbeknownst to them, in a small ravine not far from the gathering place of homeless people, a group of gaunt homeless people were huddled together for warmth, as the nights could be quite chilly at this time of year.

"Mother, will Father and Brother come back?"

A baby's soft voice rang out in the female's arms. The female raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her cheeks and stroked the little cub's head: "Yes, you go to sleep quietly, and your father and brother will come back."

The little guy looked at his mother with bright eyes for a few moments after hearing this, then obediently closed his eyes. He didn't tell his mother that his little tummy was growling with hunger.

Having spent the night in the vagrant settlement, Wu Yue and his companions didn't linger. They immediately led the vagrant leader, Gan, and Xiao Ayou toward the Snow Moon Tribe.

At this time, the Snow Moon tribe was in an awkward situation, with some tribesmen even going hungry.

The brothers Tengqian and Tengkun stood on the open ground and looked down at the tribesmen in the gathering teams: "We're sending you out to gather corn kernels, but you can't slack off on gathering wild vegetables and other foods."

You've all gone to gather corn kernels. There are no wild vegetables or other food left. What are we eating now?
There's only one hunting team in the tribe. Do you expect to eat meat every single day?

Teng Qian snarled at the gathering team leaders from afar: "I told you to distribute the resources properly, do you all want to go hungry?"

The faces of everyone on the open ground turned bitter, and the several collection team leaders looked at each other.

Why don't you gather wild vegetables?

"Heh, you have the nerve to talk about us like that, as if you were the ones who collected the data!"

"hehe."

The three exchanged intense glances.

Three slaps landed on their heads: "What are you looking at? Get out of here! If we don't have enough food today, you'll be standing outside the tribe drinking the wind and farting."

The three men reluctantly scratched the back of their heads and retreated, then began to assign tasks related to the collection.

"Captain, I want to collect corn kernels. Could you assign me to the corn-collecting team?"

"It's not like nobody wants to."

The collection and allocation process ended in a new round of debate.

The tribal chief, accompanied by his two former confidants, walked confidently on the road to gather corn kernels.

"Captain, the corn we found this time will definitely be much more than those two other teams, hehe."

"That's right, we've been watching this place for a long time."

"It's a pity that those homeless people only brought us corn kernels once and then never came back. If they had come a few more times, we would definitely have been the team with the most corn kernels in the tribe every time."

"Hehe, if I had known, I would have captured them and used them to collect corn kernels for us." The group walked away laughing and joking. Little did they know that Wu Yue and her companions were leading the wanderers they had mentioned toward the tribe.

"Ah, finally back in a familiar place."

Bren stretched and, thinking of the comfortable houses in the Snow Moon Tribe, quickened his pace, eager to go back and get some sleep.

The patrolling males had spotted them from a great distance, but due to their poor eyesight, they only managed to make out their faces when the men got closer. They then raised their weapons and cheered.

"The witch is back!"

"The orcs are back!"

"Oh oh oh!"

Cheers echoed throughout the camp, drawing all the tribespeople who remained in the village over. A tall figure then appeared before them in a few leaps.

"Yue, Boss, you're finally back! I've been going crazy!"

Goodness, managing a team has never been this difficult before.

The group glanced disdainfully at the sobbing Teng Qian, then walked around him and headed into the tribe.

The tribespeople looked at the group with great interest and joy.

With the departure of the shaman and the two orc warriors, life in the tribe these past few days has hardly been happy.

Back in the cave, Wu Yue didn't deprive herself of the taste of cornbread, as she had been craving it for a long time.

They immediately began washing their hands and making cornbread. Soon, the familiar sweet aroma of cornbread filled the entire tribe.

Little Ayu stared blankly at the stack of golden cornbread in the hay basket, feeling as if her whole little body was floating.

I couldn't help but think of the envious looks the Snow Moon tribe members gave me when I received my cornbread last time.

The little one pursed his lips, his big eyes blinking, and said in a somewhat reserved voice, "Honorable witch, did you make the cornbread you gave me last time?"

Because this taste is so familiar.

Wu Yue glanced at the still somewhat frightened little guy, smiled and nodded: "Of course I made it. Right now, I'm the only one in the tribe who can make cornbread."

As soon as she finished speaking, the wandering leader and Gan were stunned.

He stiffly turned his neck to look at the beautiful witch, then at his own skinny, silly son.

So the food they ate last time was actually made by a shaman; it was a blessing from the shaman.

In an instant, their fear of Wu Yue vanished, replaced by eyes full of reverence.

"Thank you for the witch's blessing!"

The two knelt on the ground, their expressions filled with excitement.

Gan reached out and pressed his little cub Ayu's head down. Little Ayu was very clever and obediently imitated the actions of his father and the chief.

"It's just some food. Little Ayu works for me, so it's only right to give him food. You don't need to do this. Get up."

For some reason, in little Ayu's eyes, the noble shaman was no longer frightening at all, but rather very kind, as if he were still glowing.

He licked his dry lips and cautiously raised his head: "Honorable shaman, would you really punish your own tribe if our food was stolen?"

Wu Yue was taken aback, then laughed, took a cornbread from the hay basket and handed it to him, gesturing for the three of them to get up.

Then he smiled and looked at little Ayu, asking instead of answering, "Will little Ayu get a spanking from his father and mother?"

The question made Ayu's already dark face darken even more. She hesitated for a few moments before pouting and whispering, "I've been hit, hit so many times."

That pitiful little face was absolutely adorable.

Wu Yue couldn't resist tugging at the little guy's head, even though the feel of it was really not great.

"Do you know why your father and mother beat you?"

The little guy's face turned slightly red: "It's because Ayu didn't tell his mother and father that he was going out to work in the Snow Moon Tribe, which made them worry."

Wu Yue's work had been taken over by the big tiger who had returned from washing up. Although Yuan Lang's technique was still a bit rusty, as long as he could make corn pancakes, that was fine.

Wu Yue looked at Xiao Ayou seriously: "It's the same for me. My people are just like you. If they do something wrong, I have to punish them too. If I don't let them know what they did wrong, they will do the same thing again next time. Don't you think so?"

Little Ayu scratched his head sheepishly. Indeed, if his mother and father hadn't spanked him, he would still be happy about the food he had brought back.

This time, not only Little Ayu, but even the wandering chieftain and Gan knew that this shaman was really going to punish the Snow Moon tribesmen who had stolen the corn they had worked so hard to gather.

His eyes instantly welled up with tears of emotion, and he knelt down with a thud: "Thank you, esteemed shaman, may the Beast God forever protect you!"

"Alright, get up and eat. The hunting and gathering teams will be back soon."

With his worries gone, little Ayu, being just a cub, didn't have many thoughts on his mind. He happily munched on the cornbread that Wu Yue had given him with his dark little paws.

The chief and Gan looked at their dirty hands, then at the golden cornbread, and awkwardly tucked it behind their backs.

"Witch, let's go outside and wash our hands before we eat."

Both of them blushed a little. Back in the settlement, everyone's hands were the same color. As long as there was food to fill their stomachs, no one cared whether their hands were clean or not.

But when facing this shaman and several orc warriors, he couldn't help but blush.

Hawkeye, who was standing nearby, pointed to the stone basin outside the cave with a smile: "That's water for washing hands."

The two nodded gratefully and got up to wash.

As Wu Yue watched their figures, some other thoughts began to form in her mind.

"Yuan Lang, what do you think of these homeless people?"

The orc tossed the cornbread from his wooden shovel into his basket and smiled at her, saying, "Much more useful than the people of that little tribe."

Wu Yue glanced at him with amusement. Although the people of the small tribe had many flaws and bad habits, they couldn't cause any trouble in this world where strength reigned supreme.

It was done so quickly, in just fourteen minutes! I'm begging for votes and subscriptions! Where are you all?
