Wu Yue was utterly baffled. "Huh?"

’When did I become a Good Samaritan? I don’t even remember the person I helped.’

The female scratched her head, a little embarrassed. "My son was the Half beastman Warrior who guarded Ye Duo with Shi Lin. If it hadn’t been for you back then, I’m afraid he would have gone to see the Beast God long ago."

Wu Yue felt a sense of disillusionment. She remembered the female with the big, messy head of hair, then looked at the Grandma before her, who was clearly a bit cleaner. ’...’

’How should I put this... I suddenly understand the difference between a woman with makeup and one without.’

"You don’t have to thank me. If it weren’t for those two Half beastman Warriors, who knows what would have happened in the tribe. As a witch, it’s my duty to heal the members of our tribe."

Wu Yue’s words, so full of righteous conviction, moved the two Grandmas and the surrounding females deeply.

’Sure enough, compared to Wu Yue, Ye Duo really is a poisonous mushroom.’

Luckily, Wu Yue didn’t know about the females’ metaphor for Ye Duo. Otherwise... otherwise, she’d have to admit their description was quite apt.

The females of the Collection Team were bustling with excitement, and back in the tribe, the Snow Tiger Tribe Leader was also filled with anticipation.

Ever since discovering several new types of food, Wu Yue hadn’t gone out with the Collection Team in a long time. But...

The Snow Tiger Tribe Leader let out a sly laugh. Every time Wu Yue went out, she brought back good news. If it wasn’t a new food, it was a new medicinal herb. The last time she went to the Black Wolf Tribe, she even discovered salt.

Heh heh...

’Such a treasured female, and a witch to boot...’

Suddenly, the Snow Tiger Tribe Leader remembered the Crystal Core Wu Yue had handed over to enter the tribe. It was said that her father, who had gone to see the Beast God, had hunted for it.

But...

The Clan Leader stuffed his massive fist into his mouth and couldn’t help but start whimpering. That Crystal Core had long since been used by the tribe’s Beastman Warriors.

"Why are you whimpering like a female?"

The witch emerged from his cave to see the brawny, over-two-meter-tall man standing with his legs pressed together, a fist stuffed in his mouth, putting on the pitiful act of an aggrieved little female. The sight was so nauseating that the witch nearly threw up the wild vegetable balls he’d eaten last night.

Don’t ask why he didn’t throw up meat. Meat was simply too precious; he couldn’t bear to waste it.

The Snow Tiger Tribe Leader looked dejectedly at the Snow Tiger Witch. "When Yue joined the tribe, she even handed over a Fierce Beast Crystal Core."

The Snow Tiger Witch looked at the man with contempt. "You’re whimpering over that?

Yue was just an ordinary Pure Human back then. Naturally, she had to follow the rules to join the tribe."

With that, he curled his lip in disdain. "TSK TSK TSK. How pathetic."

After saying his piece, he sauntered back into his cave, humming an unknown tune.

Meanwhile, the members of the Collection Team were brimming with a sense of accomplishment as they looked at the several bamboo bags filled to the brim with Sharp horned Beast Eggs.

As the listless sun languidly began its journey home, the Collection Team finally, reluctantly, started on the path back to the tribe.

The Snow Tiger Tribe Leader, who had long been waiting at the tribe’s entrance and staring holes into the distance, spotted the massive bamboo bags on their backs and immediately called for the males to go help.

But when he got closer and saw the familiar, pale yellow objects inside the bamboo bags, his entire mood soured.

’So, were all my hopes misplaced?’

’Why did the females bring back so many Sharp Horned Beast eggs?’

But the females, bubbling with excitement, had no time to pay attention to their Clan Leader’s petty sorrow.

Each of them took a Sharp horned Beast Egg and soaked it, some in stone bowls, others in wooden buckets.

The surrounding males just stared at each other blankly, all of them completely baffled.

’Shouldn’t the first thing the females do after returning to the tribe be to ask how much prey we brought back today?’

This sudden change of routine made the males feel ignored, and a small, aggrieved sense of disappointment welled up in their hearts.

These males, who were usually used to their females pouncing on them, now pitifully sidled up to their mates, eagerly helping either by starting the fire or gathering firewood.

Even the Snow Tiger Tribe Leader was hovering around his mate. "Why are you soaking this Sharp Horned Beast’s egg in water? Can this thing even be eaten? Aren’t you afraid of getting sick? You females are just too reckless!" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

His long-winded rambling was met with a sharp retort from the Clan Leader’s mate. "You just sit there quietly and wait to eat. You’re chattering like one of those long-beaked birds in the trees."

It wasn’t until the pale yellow patties on the stone slab began to release waves of an alluring aroma that the Clan Leader’s mate suddenly heard a "DRIP... DRIP..." sound beside her.

She turned her head to see that the Snow Tiger Tribe Leader’s drool had already bored a small pit into the ground where he was squatting.
