Surviving in the Beast World with a System-Chapter 155: My Purpose Is You

The spot she was lying on had been replaced by a soft, snow-white fur, which carried the crisp, clean scent of a Beastman.

Wu Yue looked at Yuan Lang, dumbfounded. "Is it a trend for you Beastmen to carry Beast Skins around now?"

’I suddenly feel so unrefined.’

Yuan Lang chuckled. "Only special Beastmen carry them."

Wu Yue’s hand, which was busy gnawing on a piece of fruit, froze. She looked at him in confusion. "Special Beastmen?"

Yuan Lang nodded. "Mhm."

’Beastmen like me, with a special purpose.’

’There’s a good reason I brought a Beast Skin. That reason is you.’

Meanwhile, Teng Qian, having finished his meat outside, returned to the cave. He was just about to curry some last-minute favor with the future witch before bed when he noticed that the Beast Skin at Wu Yue’s feet looked inexplicably familiar.

What was now wrapped around the young female’s slender frame, however, was a soft, clean, snow-white Beast Skin that looked infinitely better than his own.

’Damn it, which shameless bastard did this? Are they trying to extinguish even my last glimmer of hope?’

He turned to look at the buddies behind him. ’Which one of you shameless beasts threw your own Beast Skin down for the young female to step on?’

"Teng Qian, come out for patrol."

But before he could ask, his leader’s voice came from outside the cave.

He could only cast another forlorn glance at Wu Yue, who had already closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep, before shuffling dejectedly outside.

Outside the cave, a handsome Beastman with a tall, powerful build stood with his hands clasped behind his back. Moonlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled specks of light on the ground.

Yuan Lang turned, a wicked grin playing on his lips. He slung an arm around Teng Qian’s shoulder. "Come over here. I need to have a chat with you."

Thinking his leader had an important task for him, Teng Qian nodded solemnly and followed.

「A moment later...」

A rather disillusioned Beastman emerged, trailing behind Yuan Lang.

The Beastmen on patrol breathed a sigh of relief when they saw them. "You two, you went pretty far just to take a piss."

Yuan Lang said coolly, "It wouldn’t be good if the Shun Yuan found us nearby."

The Beastmen were taken aback for a moment. Then, thinking of the Shun Yuan—the nightmare of all males—they nodded decisively. "You’re right. We’ll go farther out, too."

Behind him, however, Teng Qian gave his General a look full of profound meaning. "Boss, I finally understand why you didn’t like the Princess back then."

Yuan Lang turned, raising a dark brow. "Oh? And why is that?"

Teng Qian gave a sleazy wink and snickered. "Because, Boss, you’re into romancing humans... AARGH! OW! OW!"

And so, on this dark and windy night, with nothing to be heard but the wind in the trees and the chirping of insects...

...wave after wave of miserable, stifled howls woke the Beastmen in the cave.

A familiar voice, and the familiar sound of begging for mercy...

In the pitch-black cave, the Beastmen’s shimmering green eyes all lit up with the thrill of gossip. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Sounds like that guy Teng Qian."

"From the sound of it, he’s definitely getting thrashed."

"And thrashed pretty hard, too."

"The night is long, and I can’t sleep. Why don’t we go watch the fun?"

And so, in an instant, the once-crowded cave was left with only the two Beastmen assigned to guard Wu Yue, staring at each other in confusion, and... the person they were supposed to be guarding.

"Holy shit, how did that idiot Teng Qian piss off Yuan Lang?"

The Beastmen huddled together behind a large tree, stealthily observing the epic tiger-beating and chattering excitedly amongst themselves.

Teng Kun, also hiding behind the tree with the other Beastmen, watched his General’s ferocious display and shook his head.

’My brother, that idiot. He must have done something to really piss off the Boss.’

He silently ducked his head. ’At a critical moment like this, you have to protect yourself while enjoying the show.’

’A beast’s life ain’t easy. Gotta cherish what you’ve got.’
