Surviving in the Beast World with a System-Chapter 203: Seriously Passing the Buck

The culprits, meanwhile, were taking care of their tribe’s young female without a hint of guilt. As for whether females from other tribes would get to eat any good fruit?

As for the Snow Tiger Beastmen...

’Was that their problem?’

Heh heh...

Wu Yue picked up a medium-sized fruit and took a bite. The sweet and sour juice instantly flooded her mouth, making her narrow her eyes in bliss.

Seeing her enjoyment, the Beastmen grinned, feeling immensely pleased.

Seeing her eating with such relish, Yuan Qi handed the rather unsightly piece of roasted meat to the Beastman Warrior beside him. "Take this to Yue."

The Beastman gave the roasted meat a complicated look. "Captain, is this thing... really edible?"

Yuan Qi narrowed his eyes. "Are you questioning me?"

A shiver ran down the Beastman’s spine, and he immediately shook his head. "Of course not. I’ll take it over right away."

With that, he walked stiffly toward Wu Yue.

Meanwhile, Yuan Qi, who was behind him, added firewood to the stove while secretly watching them.

"Yue, here’s the roasted meat you wanted."

The Beastman spoke as he handed over a charcoal-black lump wrapped in leaves.

Wu Yue accepted it with a light chuckle. "Thank you, I was just... gett...ing hungry?"

Her lips twitched as she looked at the tall, sturdy Beastman before her. She held up the lump of charcoal, giving him a strange look. "Er... you call this... roasted meat?"

The Beastman was dumbfounded. "Yeah. It was cooked over a fire. For a long, long time."

Wu Yue poked the rock-hard ’meat’. ’These goofballs must have some kind of misunderstanding about what "roasted meat" is.’

Just then, Yuan Qi suddenly popped his head out from behind the Beastman who had delivered the meat. "Yue, isn’t this the roasted meat you mentioned?"

Wu Yue shook her head in resignation. "You have to roast meat slowly. You can’t just toss it directly into the fire."

With that, she held up the lump. "This is burnt. It’s inedible, and it would be bad for you to eat it."

The gazes of the surrounding Beastmen all converged on Yuan Qi.

Wu Yue followed their gazes to Yuan Qi. "This meat... was it you who roasted it?"p>

Yuan Qi gave a dry laugh, then shot a sharp glare at the Beastman Warrior beside him. "Of course... I didn’t roast it. This guy here insisted on doing it, and look, he ruined it. Honestly..."

As he spoke, he slapped the shoulder of the Beastman beside him. He turned his head, a stiff smile plastered on his face, while shooting daggers at him.

The Beastman Warrior wanted to cry but had no tears.

’Damn it, I knew the captain was no good.’

’He actually gave me a chance to impress the witch, and this was the trap he had waiting for me.’

Faced with that chilling, threatening glare, he nodded with a woeful expression. "Yeah! I’m the one who roasted it..."

’Like hell it was! It was this shameless old beastman next to me! He even said the roasted meat you wanted tastes worse than shit!’

Wu Yue chuckled. "It’s alright. You’ve never roasted meat before, so of course you wouldn’t know how. Could you help me find a thin stone slab? I’ll teach you."

She set the lump of charcoal aside. "Roasted meat is actually very delicious."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Qi patted the Beastman Warrior’s butt. "Go find a stone slab, wash it, and bring it back."

The Beastman Warrior shot his unreliable, blame-shifting captain a resentful glance, then went to the river without complaint. He returned carrying a smooth, clean stone slab that had been worn down by the current.

"Yue, will this slab work?"
