Surviving in the Beast World with a System-Chapter 77: The Thing About Rules

Wu Yue nodded. "Yes, he did. Yuan Lang ate at my place today."

Hua Shu gave her a complicated look and said earnestly, "Yue, Yuan Lang is a Beastman. He can’t be doing things like this."

Wu Yue frowned for a moment. ’After all, this isn’t the world I came from,’ she thought. ’I can’t be too demanding.’

She nodded in understanding. "I’m sorry, Grandma Hua Shu. I didn’t know the tribe had a rule like that."

She explained with a smile, "My Father is also a Beastman, but he did most of the chores at home, so I just assumed all Beastmen were like that."

With that, she turned to Yuan Lang. "I didn’t know the tribe’s rules. That’s why I had you wash the dishes."

Yuan Lang raised an eyebrow. ’Looks like I won’t have to wash dishes anymore,’ he thought.

Wu Yue turned to Grandma Hua Shu. "Grandma, this is what my Father and Amu always told me, and it’s how they lived. I understand the tribe’s rules, but I hope you can also understand my position.

I won’t have Yuanlang Warrior over to eat at my place anymore. This time was just to thank you for speaking up for me. It won’t happen again."

A moment ago, she had seen more than just displeasure in Grandma Hua Shu’s eyes about her making Yuan Lang wash the dishes; she had also detected a hint of guardedness.

Thinking of Yuan Lang’s status as a Beastman and her own as a Pure Human female, Wu Yue instantly understood the reason for Grandma Hua Shu’s guardedness.

Besides, she didn’t have any particular feelings for Yuanlang Warrior, so it was best to make things clear.

Hua Shu was an intelligent female, so she naturally understood the underlying meaning of Wu Yue’s words.

Her tense heart instantly relaxed.

She was quite fond of the young female, Yue, but no matter how much she liked her, it couldn’t change the fact that she was merely a Pure Human.

She had already discussed it with her partner. Even though all the Beastman females in their tribe were already mated, there were other tribes.

A union between two Beastmen had a much higher chance of producing a Beastman child. As for Yue...

Once Yuan Lang had a Beastman female as a partner, Yue could become his second partner. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Hua Shu said with a smile, "Of course, every tribe has different rules. You only recently arrived, and no one told you, so it’s perfectly normal that you didn’t know."

Wu Yue walked over to Yuan Lang. The tall, handsome Beastman stood by the river, holding the dripping pot and bowl, watching them with a profound gaze.

She reached out, took the pot and bowl from his hands, and then took a few steps back to put some distance between them. Only then did she offer a polite smile. "Thank you, Yuanlang Warrior."

This version of Wu Yue reminded Yuan Lang of the girl who had brought him a stone pot of bitter vegetable paste when he returned from the salt trade.

His dark brows furrowed slightly as a faint sense of displeasure rose within him.

After bidding farewell to Grandma Hua Shu and Shui, Wu Yue took Qingcao by the hand and headed home.

By the river, Yuan Lang watched their retreating figures, his gaze deep and inscrutable, his thoughts hidden.

Hua Shu walked to his side. "Do you like that young female, Yue?"

Yuan Lang’s heart stirred. ’If that young female becomes my partner, won’t I be able to have her make food for me whenever I want?’ he thought.

At the thought, his eyes brightened.

Seeing this, Grandma Hua Shu’s heart skipped a beat. Her voice grew serious. "Your first partner cannot be Yue. If you truly like her, you can make her your second partner, but only after you have mated with a Beastman female."

Refusal was written all over Yuan Lang’s handsome face. "All the females in the tribe are already mated."

’Those females are even more powerfully built than I was in my past life,’ he thought. ’I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to... perform at night...’
