Surviving in the Beast World with a System-Chapter 175: An Amiable Grandpa

Maybe it was just her imagination, but Wu Yue felt that Grandma Hua Shu’s gaze was exceptionally intense today.

’Could she have heard those baseless rumors about me and Yuan Lang?’

"Grandma Hua Shu, you were looking for me... Is something wrong?"

Grandma Hua Shu chuckled, stepping forward and draping an arm around Wu Yue’s shoulders as if she were a little chick. "It was your Uncle Yuan Qi who asked me to find you."

’So it wasn’t about Yuan Lang after all.’ Wu Yue let out a sigh of relief for some reason.

She gave an obedient nod, then popped inside to tell Qingcao she would help her with her hair again that evening before following Grandma Hua Shu out.

All along the way, Grandma Hua Shu’s bright, glittering eyes never left Wu Yue, making her skin crawl.

"Grandma Hua Shu, is there something you want to say to me?"

’Staring at me like that the whole way... it’s seriously giving me the creeps.’

As if she had been waiting for Wu Yue to speak, Grandma Hua Shu instantly scooted over to her side. "I heard from that rascal Yunqi... Yue, have you really become a witch?"

Her eyes were shining brightly, filled with anticipation.

Wu Yue didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. "Yes, but I don’t want many people to know yet, so I hope you’ll keep it a secret for me."

’Wait, just for this, you’d call your own partner a rascal?’

Grandma Hua Shu grinned, wiggling her eyebrows. "Hehe, Yuan Qi already told me about this. We’ll just let Ye Duo handle those boisterous beastmen outside. Besides, she loves being surrounded by them."

Wu Yue chuckled. ’That was pretty much my plan, but hearing it said out loud is a little embarrassing...’

The two walked toward the very center of the cave complex. Wu Yue looked at Grandma Hua Shu in confusion. "Grandma Hua Shu, this isn’t the way to your cave, is it?"

Grandma Hua Shu chuckled and winked. "Of course not. I’m taking you to the witch’s cave. Yunqi and the others are waiting for you there."

Wu Yue was dumbstruck...

’I’m going to meet the tribe’s big shot completely unprepared! I’m panicking, what do I do?!’

The witch’s cave was located in the very center, surrounded by the dens of the tribe’s Beastman and Half beastman Warriors. This arrangement was designed to protect the tribe’s only witch.

The guards stationed outside the cave were all Beastman Warriors, a clear sign of how much the tribe valued its witch.

Even Ye Duo had been assigned two Half beastman Warriors for protection the day she became a Witch Disciple.

Whenever beastmen from other tribes were around, that scamp Teng Qian would even have to step in from time to time. The matter was clearly taken very seriously.

When the two of them walked into the cave, several beastmen were already waiting inside.

Perhaps having heard their voices, all eyes were now fixed on the cave entrance.

The moment they saw the young female following Grandma Hua Shu, their eyes lit up.

Wu Yue’s expression stiffened. ’I feel like a lamb being sized up by a pack of wolves.’

Sitting in the very center was the witch. He didn’t look as unapproachable as she’d imagined; on the contrary, he exuded an exceptionally kind and fatherly aura.

Wu Yue felt a pang of shame for judging him by his appearance. ’I always thought the witch would be some serious, reserved old man.’

’But now that I see him, he’s clearly just a sweet, friendly grandpa!’

Wu Yue’s nervousness instantly subsided. She obediently followed Grandma Hua Shu and sat down on a pile of grass to one side.
