Chapter 19: Those Who Dislike the Weak

Is that even a reason?

Wu Yue truly hadn't expected it; her poor health wasn't feigned—this body was innately lacking, naturally incomparable to a healthy female.

She felt a bit wronged: "When A Mu had me, he injured his body in some incident, so I was born weaker than other females."

Can this even be blamed on her? Everyone wants a good body!

Qingcao beside her patted her shoulder comfortingly, sighing at the love Wu Yue's father A Mu had for her.

In the forest, small tribes like the one Wu Yue came from would abandon any unhealthy newborn to fend for itself.

Because the small tribe had no shaman, sick members would just lie in a cave and wait.

Either waiting to see tomorrow's sunrise again, or waiting for death.

The price of asking a shaman for healing is high, requiring too much game.

Often, the food needed to ask a shaman to heal one tribe member could sustain many tribe members for a long time.

"If you're not a member of the Snow Tiger Tribe, she won't pay you any mind at all." Qing Hua's eyes were full of seriousness.

"Aya may be the chief's child, but she's a pure human female—not even a half-beast—you surely know that."

Wu Yue nodded; Qingcao had just told her this, and she was also curious why beastfolk parents would give birth to a pure human child—could Aya's father or A Mu have been unfaithful?

"A Mu and her father are both beastfolk; although they're more likely to have beastfolk offspring, they more often have half-beasts or pure humans."

Her eyes dimmed a little: "Giving birth to beastfolk offspring is truly extremely difficult."

Qingcao beside her also sighed; the number of beastfolk is a tribe's foundation—if you want good hunting grounds and to defend your territory, you rely on powerful beastman warriors.

That kind of deterrence cannot be matched by half-beasts or pure humans.

"So does Aya dislike weak females like me all the more because she isn't a beastfolk?"

Qing Hua glanced at her: "Not like you—it's only you. Aya's father A Mu are both beastfolk, but she hasn't become a strong beastfolk capable of protecting the tribe, so she deeply dislikes the weak who would drag the tribe down."

Wu Yue, who would drag the tribe down: in short, it's simply because she's too weak.

"Stay away from her from now on." Qing Hua clapped her hands and stood up, looking at the silent Wu Yue, sighing inwardly; unless Yue finds a powerful beastfolk mate, she'll hardly survive this winter.

But how could a proud, powerful beastman warrior choose such a weak Yue as a mate?

After greeting her own companion, Qing Hua left.

Only Wu Yue and Qingcao remained, squatting there, somewhat dazed.

Her waist pouch was bulging, but her heart felt empty and lost.

Qingcao took her hand and helped her up: "Yue, you don't need to worry too much; although Aya has a bad temper, she won't harm her own tribe members."

Wu Yue tugged at the corner of her mouth, forcing a dry smile: "I'm not worried, and I'm not afraid of Aya; I'm just thinking about how to survive in this world."

"This world?" Qingcao tilted her head, wondering what that meant.

Wu Yue hehe laughed and changed the topic: "Since I've become a member of the Snow Tiger Tribe, I naturally can't hold us back—I'll definitely work hard to gather food."

"With a great, omnipotent system, host, reaching the pinnacle of life isn't a dream." The Smug System popped up again to show off its presence.
