Surviving in the Beast World with a System-Chapter 123: Scheming Yuan Lang

Yuan Lang’s tigerish face darkened. "So you want me to use my good looks."

The Clan Leader chuckled. "Relax. Just keep Ye Duo occupied and don’t let her get poached by a Beastman from another tribe."

He then gave Yuan Lang a solemn pat on the shoulder and whispered, "Don’t worry. I’ve planted one of our own among those young beasts. He’ll work with you. He won’t let that lecherous female, Ye Duo, take advantage of you."

Yuan Lang forced a laugh. "Gee, thanks."

The Clan Leader waved a dismissive hand. "No need to be so formal. It’s just part of my duty as Clan Leader."

Yuan Lang: "..."

’Was that supposed to be a compliment?’

Seeing that Yuan Lang’s expression hadn’t improved, the Clan Leader gave a nervous chuckle and made a quick getaway. "I have faith in you! It’s all in your hands!"

Watching the Clan Leader flee as if a dog were at his heels, Yuan Lang felt his head start to buzz.

"General, what’s so interesting about that crabby old Clan Leader?"

Teng Qian suddenly popped up beside him, trailed by his ever-present shadow, Teng Kun.

Yuan Lang’s gloomy expression instantly brightened. He turned to Teng Qian with a grave look. "Vice General Teng!"

Although it had been a while since their General had addressed them so formally, Teng Qian and Teng Kun snapped to attention out of reflex.

Their expressions turned solemn. "Sir!"

As two young voices rang out, Yuan Lang nodded in satisfaction. "I have an important mission for you, one that concerns the fate of the entire Snow Tiger Tribe. Can you handle it?"

The two Beastmen’s blood surged with fighting spirit. "Give us the order, General! We will complete the mission you’ve given us, even if it costs us our lives!"

Yuan Lang chuckled to himself. ’Heh, such greenhorns.’

On the outside, however, he maintained a mask of solemnity. "Beastmen from other tribes want our tribe to lose its witch lineage forever. Your mission is to protect Ye Duo. Understand?"

Teng Qian: "..."

Teng Kun: "..."

Looking at the two Beastmen, whose expressions made them look as if they’d just been slapped by a rank fart, Yuan Lang sighed. "I know what you’re thinking. Relax, I’m not asking you to sacrifice your bodies. You just need to cut off any chance for Ye Duo to get friendly with Beastman Warriors from other tribes."

Teng Qian gave his General a suspicious look. "General, isn’t this the mission the Clan Leader assigned to you?"

Yuan Lang’s expression froze for a second, but being such a thick-skinned Beastman, how could he let them notice? "This is just one part of my mission."

His expression grew grave. "I have an even more important mission: to protect all the females of the tribe. So, would you rather protect one Ye Duo, or all the females?"

The two Beastmen exchanged a glance and nodded decisively. "We’ll protect Ye Duo."

’Damn it! Watching one Ye Duo is one thing, but who could stand watching a whole pack of them?’

Yuan Lang nodded. "Good. While you’re keeping an eye on Ye Duo, you also have to give her the false impression that you like her.

Doesn’t the Centurion of the Third Battalion always go on about wooing women?

I remember you two loved listening to him. Now’s the time to put what you’ve learned into practice. I want you to capture Ye Duo’s full attention so that no Beastman from another tribe has a chance to swoop in. Understood?"

The two tigers hung their heads, their faces pictures of utter despair. "Ohhh..."

Yuan Lang waved a hand. "Go on, now. I have complete faith that you’ll carry out this mission perfectly."

Watching the two crestfallen Beastmen, Yuan Lang broke into a cunning grin and promptly slipped into the shadows.
