Chapter 548: The host is really awesome

In the forest on the edge of the Wuke Tribe, Wu Yue was sitting on a thick big tree cultivating; her figure was blocked by the crisscrossing branches, so even a Beastman Warrior couldn't find her in a short time.

Suddenly she stopped cultivating and looked down, seeing two tall males dragging or pulling several pale, lifeless males over.

"Hey, you say, what's wrong with the shaman? Every night she has to find several males to go to the cave, but these guys come out like this."

The male said while pursing his lips, pointing at the several males they were dragging toward the forest.

"How would I know?"

His companion spoke somewhat irritably.

"The able-bodied males in the tribe have pretty much been summoned by the shaman; I'm afraid the next one will be us two, aren't you scared?"

Upon hearing that, the male who had just been idly gossiping froze his smile on his face: 'No... no way!'

"Always catching bugs, always looking for males—I suspect the shaman is like the legend, using people to raise gu worms."

As soon as those words were spoken, both of their faces turned even paler.

Before, they felt proud to be able to show the shaman the cave, but now looking around they felt the Beast God was beckoning them.

Looking again at the males they were dragging or pulling, they instantly felt like they were seeing their future selves, a chill running through their hearts.

"Don't think wildly, let's just go roast meat quickly; the shaman will want to eat soon."

Shoving the terrifying speculation from their minds, the two self‑deviously tossed the several males into a random grass hut in the corner, which had formerly been used to house slaves.

Suddenly a rustling sound came; the two looked sharply over and saw a white two‑eared beast frantically hopping through the grass, about to flee into the forest, when the gossiping male lunged forward and pressed the long‑eared beast beneath him.

Feeling the softness against his chest, the gossiping male's eyes turned green.

At this time of scarce supplies, catching a prey made him want to jump up and run several laps around the tribe.

The two males' heavy breathing was very clear in the pitch‑black night.

"Got it?"

His companion also asked excitedly.

The gossiping male hehe‑laughed, stood up holding a snow‑white little beast: 'You tidy up those few here; I'll go handle the prey, then roast a long‑eared beast to eat before coming back.'

His companion nodded repeatedly: 'Hurry, hurry, I've got this.'

If they brought it back to the tribe, such fresh prey would surely be offered to the shaman and chieftain; the two of them probably wouldn't even get a bone.

"Host, if Yuan Lang knew you gave the long‑eared beast he hunted for you to other males, his face would surely be black as thunder."

Tongzi sighed beside them, schadenfreude evident.

Thinking of the beastfolk's resentful, deep gaze, Wu Yue unconsciously touched her nose, feeling guilty: 'I'm doing this to better complete the mission; Yuan Lang will understand me.'

Tongzi: '...'

For some reason I feel that line is pretty scummy~

While processing the several sleeping tribesmen, the male hummed an unknown tune; though his voice was unpleasant, one could hear his good mood.

Suddenly, the already dim moonlight seemed to be snatched away, and the surroundings plunged into total darkness.

The beastman sensed something odd; the hand gripping the tribesman's legs trembled, he stiffly turned, his fearful eyes met a pair of scarlet pupils—before he could shout, the owner of those pupils lifted a leg and kicked.

The male rolled his eyes and swayed as he fell.

Wu Yue jumped down from the tree, casually threw a talisman, and in just a few breaths another person identical in appearance to the unconscious male appeared beside him.

Tongzi looked at his host's slick move with a twitching mouth: 'Host, you're really awesome—actually willing to pay such a high price just to kill Niluo.'

Wu Yue chuckled: 'If you're willing to help me kill her, do I need to waste so many points?'

At this moment Wu Yue was exactly the same as the male on the ground, but her voice, though that of a burly male, was clear and female; Tongzi couldn't help shivering: 'Host, you'd better not speak—I'm starting to feel disillusioned.'

Wu Yue twitched the corner of her mouth and waved her hand: 'Alright, alright, you and Yun‑cloud hurry up and get this guy out of here; don't let him come back before I succeed.'

She then hurried toward the direction the gossiping male had left, remembering there was a small stream not far away.

The gossiping male, who had been washing while drooling, heard footsteps behind him, sprang up agilely to the side, and looked toward the sound.

Seeing the figure of 'Wu Yue', he finally relaxed: 'You scared me to death—coming over without a word.'

Wu Yue moved her lips, then opened her mouth and spoke in that male's voice: 'I'll be over as soon as I'm done—did you finish handling the prey? I'm about to starve.'

The gossiping male hehe‑laughed at her: 'All right, all right, get ready to roast meat.'

The two chatted while puffing and blowing, finished off the not‑very‑large roasted long‑eared beast, wiped their mouths, and staggered toward Niluo the shaman's cave.

"I don't smell of roasted meat, do I?"

"No, no, the forest wind blew it away long ago."

Just as the satisfied pair reached the cave mouth, a furious shout came from inside: 'Why did you two take so long? You're useless! Go get some food—I want the freshest roasted meat and fruit.'

The two males glanced at each other, their unsteady feet turned, and they headed again toward the food storage cave.

"This time the shaman came back, her temper got even more irritable."

Although the guard of the food storage cave was a Beastman Warrior, upon seeing the two males approach he still warmly showed a smile: 'Here to get food for the shaman?'

The gossiping male nodded: 'The shaman is hungry, she wants the freshest roasted meat and fruit; we brothers have come to collect it.'

The Beastman Warrior nodded repeatedly: 'I'll take you in.'

The food storage cave was huge, filled with piles of wilted wild vegetables.

The Beastman casually stepped on those vegetables, utterly indifferent, and walked deeper into the food storage cave.

Only when they reached the deepest part of the food storage cave did Wu Yue see that the latter half was packed with game and various fruits; some fruits had wilted, yet they were placed on hides, obviously treasured.

The gossiping male stepped forward, picked the best‑looking piece of raw meat, carefully selected a few of the finest fruits, then left together with 'Wu Yue'.

After bustling about, each carried food into the cave; at that moment, behind Niluo knelt a very handsome Beastman Warrior, massaging her shoulders.

"Wu Yue" nodded silently, not bad, not bad—she really does know how to enjoy herself.
