Surviving in the Beast World with a System-Chapter 84: The Next Witch

It figured. A broke-ass person like her had no right to consume something as high-class as an elixir. The only Cultivation Method for the poor was to just obediently sit and meditate.

That night, Wu Yue sat on the straw mat in her hut and began her first attempt at meditative cultivation.

But if cultivating witch power were really that easy, the previous owner of this body’s Amu wouldn’t have been stuck as a Witch Disciple all this time.

She tried again and again, but every time she was about to grasp that formless power, she would be jolted back to full consciousness.

Wu Yue felt a surge of frustration.

"I suggest the host not be so impatient for quick results."

The System let out a small yawn. "Get some rest. You still have to grind for a living tomorrow."

At the thought of having to go gathering the next day, Wu Yue lay down in dejection and gradually drifted off to sleep.

When the first bird chirped at dawn, Wu Yue quickly packed her bag. She grabbed the small, modified back-basket she had made, left her hut, and headed for the open clearing.

Many females and males were already gathered in the clearing. To Wu Yue’s surprise, there were also a large number of Beastman Warriors.

On previous gathering trips, it was mostly Pure Human males or Half beastman Warriors who came along for protection. She had never seen Beastman Warriors attend.

’Is there some kind of special gathering mission today?’

"Yue, over here!"

Just as she was pondering this, Shui’s voice called out from ahead.

She had a huge bamboo bag slung over her back and was waving casually in Wu Yue’s direction, her face beaming with a warm, enthusiastic smile.

Wu Yue broke into a wide smile and hurried over to her.

"Wu Yue."

Suddenly, a piercing voice cut through the clearing. Though she hadn’t heard it in several days, Wu Yue knew it all too well.

Judging by the tone, they clearly weren’t here to invite her along for the gathering.

A flash of annoyance crossed her eyes. Her expression turning cold, she looked toward the source of Aya’s voice.

But what she saw took her by surprise.

Aya, who was usually arm-in-arm with Ye Duo, was now standing behind Vajra Ye Duo with a look of reverence in her eyes.

Surprised, Wu Yue felt her guard go up. "What is it?"

Her face was impassive, and the look she gave Aya and Ye Duo was completely neutral.

Ye Duo’s arrogant expression froze, and her face instantly darkened. "Wu Yue, are you trying to provoke me?"

’What the hell?’ Wu Yue was completely baffled. ’What is this girl’s deal?’

"And who are you supposed to be?"

The moment the words left her mouth, the clearing fell dead silent.

The Beastmen and females all stared, their jaws agape, at the small, skinny female with the impassive face, their expressions a mask of utter disbelief.

Ye Duo’s face flushed crimson as she growled in disbelief, "Do you have any idea who you’re talking to?!"

Wu Yue frowned, studying her for a moment. A flicker of pity crossed her eyes. "Are you sick in the head or something? You don’t even know who you are anymore?"

Then she muttered under her breath, ’Don’t tell me she got rejected by that Yuanlang Warrior and it addled her brain.’

Ye Duo felt as if sharp Stone Spears were flying from Wu Yue’s direction, plunging one by one with painful accuracy into her heart, leaving a dull, throbbing ache.

Her eyes began to redden. "You wretched female! I am the tribe’s next witch! How dare you be so insolent to me!"

At those words, Wu Yue froze. She stared fixedly at the arrogant Ye Duo, utterly speechless.

Seeing her silence, Ye Duo snorted. "Scared now, are you?"
