Surviving in the Beast World with a System-Chapter 19: Hating the Weak

’Is that even a reason?’

Wu Yue truly couldn’t wrap her head around it. It wasn’t like she was faking her poor health. This body was frail from birth, so of course, it couldn’t compare to that of a normal, healthy female.

She sounded aggrieved. "When my Amu was pregnant with me, something happened and she injured herself. That’s why I was born weaker than other females."

’Is that my fault? Everyone wants a healthy body!’

Beside her, Qingcao patted her shoulder comfortingly, touched by the love Wu Yue’s Father and Amu had for her.

In a small tribe like the one Wu Yue came from, any cub born with a weak body would have been thrown into the forest to fend for itself.

Small tribes didn’t have a witch, so when someone fell ill, all they could do was lie in their cave and wait.

Waiting to see another sunrise, or waiting for death.

The price for a witch’s healing was steep, requiring a vast amount of prey.

Often, the food required to have a witch heal one person was enough to feed many others for a long time.

"If you weren’t a member of the Snow Tiger Tribe, she wouldn’t have paid you any mind," Qinghua said, her gaze serious.

"Aya may be the Clan Leader’s child, but she’s a Pure Human female—not even a Half-beastman. I’m sure you already know that."

Wu Yue nodded. Qingcao had just told her. She was also curious why Beastman parents would give birth to a Pure Human child. ’Could it be that Aya’s Father or Amu had an affair?’

"When both the father and mother are Beastmen, although there’s a higher chance of giving birth to a Beastman cub, it’s still more common to have Half-beastmen or Pure Human children."

Her gaze dimmed. "The birth of a Beastman cub is just incredibly difficult."

Qingcao sighed as well. The number of Beastmen was the foundation of a tribe. To claim good hunting grounds and defend their territory, a tribe relied on its powerful Beastman Warriors.

They possessed an intimidating power that Half-beastmen and Pure Humans could not hope to match.

"So, because Aya isn’t a Beastman herself, she despises weak females like me?"

Qinghua glanced at her. "Not ’females like you.’ Just you. Aya’s Father and Amu are both Beastmen, but she wasn’t born a powerful Beastman who could protect the tribe. That’s why she detests the weak—those who would drag the tribe down."

Wu Yue, the one who would drag the tribe down, thought, ’So, in short, it’s all because I’m too weak.’

"Just stay away from her from now on." Qinghua dusted off her hands and stood up. Looking at the silent Wu Yue, she sighed inwardly. ’Unless Yue finds a powerful Beastman mate, she’ll have a hard time surviving the winter.’

’But what proud and powerful Beastman Warrior would ever choose a mate as weak as Yue?’

Calling over to her own mate, Qinghua left.

Only Wu Yue and Qingcao were left, squatting there in a bit of a daze.

The woven bag at her waist was bulging, but her heart felt empty and forlorn.

Qingcao pulled her to her feet by the hand. "Yue, don’t worry too much. Aya has a bad temper, but she wouldn’t hurt one of her own tribe."

Wu Yue’s lips twitched into a brittle smile. "I’m not worried, and I’m not afraid of Aya. I’m just trying to figure out how to survive in this world."

"’This world’?" Qingcao tilted her head. ’What does she mean?’

Wu Yue chuckled and changed the subject. "Now that I’m a member of the Snow Tiger Tribe, I can’t be the one to drag everyone down, right? I’ll definitely work hard to gather food."

"With the great and omnipotent system by your side, it’s no dream for you, Host, to reach the pinnacle of life." The smug system chimed in again, making its presence known.
