Surviving in the Beast World with a System-Chapter 106: An Unknown Hobby

She finished with a meaningful pat on Wu Yue’s shoulder. "Yue, let this old Grandma tell you something. We can’t afford to be too soft-hearted. Be as passionate as a summer wind to your family and partners, but to your enemies, be as piercing as winter’s ice and snow."

Wu Yue: "..."

’Those words sound so familiar...’

Yuan Lang: "..."

’My newfound Amu has a way with words? Has she distilled that from a lifetime of scolding people?’

Suppressing her bewilderment, Wu Yue gave a hollow laugh. "Don’t worry, Grandma Hua Shu. I’m no bleeding heart."

’I’m very naughty, you know!’

Yuan Lang glanced at Wu Yue with his deep eyes. ’This little female has a mind full of more schemes than a sieve has holes.’

Seeing her turn and walk toward the cave entrance, Yuan Lang’s dark eyes glinted. He shot to his feet and followed, his body blurring past his newfound Amu like a gust of wind.

"Amu, it’s a little dangerous for Yue to go alone. I’ll go protect her."

Before the words even faded, the Beastman’s figure had already vanished from the cave.

Grandma Hua Shu sneered. "Little tiger cub. You think I don’t know what you’re up to?"

’The way he was just looking at that little female, his eyes were practically glowing green. And he thought he was hiding it so well. The only one who didn’t see it was the girl herself.’

After muttering her complaint, she paid no more mind to that troublesome brat and headed straight into the cave.

Oh, my. Seeing her arm covered in a red rash, Grandma Hua Shu was overcome with a flair for the dramatic and let out a few loud "Ouch! Ouch!" wails.

But aside from a few little grasshoppers hopping past, no one heard her. Her performance was for an audience of none.

Meanwhile, Wu Yue looked at the tall, sturdy Beastman beside her, her expression screaming, ’You have no shame.’ "You’re really desperate to avoid a lecture from Grandma Hua Shu, aren’t you? You’d even make up a lie like needing to protect me."

With that, she pointed to the cave just a few steps away. "It’s barely a tooth’s length away. You think a Fierce Beast is going to snatch me up in that distance?"

At her words, Yuan Lang leaned in close and, to her utter shock, cupped her pale, slender face in his hands.

He then brazenly used his thumb and forefinger to part her lips, leaning in again to study them for a long moment before remarking, "Your teeth aren’t that long, though?"

Wu Yue: "..."

’What the... actual... FUCK!!!’

’Just what is this bastard?’

She shot the Beastman a venomous glare, ducked her head, and furiously wiped her lips where he had touched them. After a loud huff, she spun around and stalked toward the nearby cave.

The Beastman behind her stood with a smile playing on his lips, his gaze so deep and dark it seemed to want to devour the slender figure before him.

He lifted the fingers that had just touched Wu Yue’s lips and lightly tapped them against his own. The electric tingle he had desperately suppressed now shuddered through him to his very core.

A low chuckle drifted on the wind. "Where can you run..."

It was unclear whether he was talking about his fingers, or something else entirely...

After savoring the memory for a moment, he took a lazy stride and followed after Wu Yue.

Not long after they left, the heads of two tall Beastmen suddenly popped out from behind a large tree.

"Is the General gone?" Teng Kun whispered.

Teng Qian irritably smacked his younger brother on his blockhead. "Are you blind? Why don’t you look for yourself?"

He then stroked his chin thoughtfully. "I never would’ve guessed. Our General always seemed so imposing and cold. He’s the kind of legend who didn’t even bat an eye when the Princess begged the Emperor to decree their marriage, yet he has this... secret hobby."

Teng Kun stuck his huge tiger head out. "What secret hobby?"
