The beastmen could just touch the very top of the tent by reaching up, which meant it was quite spacious for Wu Yue.

Teng Qian eagerly brought over many armfuls of dry hay to spread inside the tent, and Yuan Lang also placed Wu Yue’s rescued back-basket inside.

The surrounding tribespeople stared at the grand and impressive tent the three beastmen had built, each of them dumbfounded.

Grandma Hua Shu poked Yuan Qi, who was beside her. "Since when did our boy have skills like this?"

Yuan Qi shook his head. "I have no idea. I’m just as surprised."

Two pairs of suspicious eyes shot a chilling glare at the beastman, who was standing before Wu Yue with his chin held high, proudly awaiting praise.

Yuan Lang’s body suddenly stiffened. He wasn’t sure if it was because the night wind was too chilly, but he felt a sudden coldness at his back.

Wu Yue beamed as she looked at her warm tent, where a fire pit had already been lit. After enthusiastically expressing her gratitude, she slipped into the tent to get some information.

Having received thanks from the young female, Yuan Lang was naturally quite pleased with himself. Although he wasn’t grinning foolishly with pride like Teng Qian and Teng Kun, the smile playing at the corners of his lips gave him away.

But the moment he turned and saw two familiar figures behind him, he found the source of that earlier chill. He immediately gave a dry laugh and a wave. "Not asleep yet?"

Grandma Hua Shu and Yuan Qi sneered. "Watching our own son trying to curry favor while his Father and Amu have to stand in the cold wind... As your Amu, I’m just so..."

As she spoke, she made a great show of wiping away non-existent crocodile tears. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Although Yuan Qi, standing beside her, felt his mate was being a bit melodramatic, he still buckled under her threatening glare and nodded firmly. "That’s right."

Grandma Hua Shu surreptitiously nudged her mate. "Keep going!"

Upon hearing her, Yuan Qi cleared his throat twice. "Ahem, hurry up and build one for your Amu. She has to go out gathering tomorrow and needs to rest early."

Seeing how his Father was completely under his Amu’s thumb, Yuan Lang couldn’t help but mutter to himself, ’So henpecked.’

But under his Amu’s expectant gaze, he still took his two followers to go chop down trees and build another tent.

Meanwhile, inside Wu Yue’s tent, she looked at the System, who stood with its two chubby little forepaws crossed over its chest. Wu Yue decisively transferred ten points to the System’s spending points account.

Hearing the notification that the points had been credited, the System finally uncrossed its two little paws in satisfaction and began to speak in a serious tone. "When you were building the cellar before, didn’t Teng Kun find a type of clay?

"You can use that to fire bricks."

Wu Yue’s eyes lit up instantly. ’That’s right!’

She couldn’t believe she’d forgotten something so important. She immediately launched into a discussion with the System. "To fire bricks, don’t we need to build a kiln or something? And we need molds, right? Otherwise, it’ll look terrible if they’re all different sizes.

"Oh, right! And the most important thing is a binder. I don’t have any cement!"

At the mention of a high-tech product like cement, Wu Yue’s briefly lifted spirits instantly fell.

The System swished its tail helplessly. "You’ll have to figure that one out for yourselves. If you need to exchange points for it, you can come find me then."

Wu Yue disdainfully tossed the creature into a corner of her hay bed. "What good are you, then..."

The System looked utterly shocked. ’Talk about being ungrateful! That’s my Dog Host for you!’

A moment later, Wu Yue let out a long sigh and flopped down onto her hay bed. "I just don’t know! I’ve been thinking for so long and still haven’t come up with anything.

"I’m only just realizing what a good-for-nothing I am!"

The System silently checked the time, its mouth twitching as if it were about to have a stroke. "It hasn’t even been five minutes, okay? Host, is your brain’s storage capacity less than five minutes?"

Wu Yue shot the System a Death Gaze. "Shut your mouth. Hurry up and help me think, or you can forget about any future spending points."

The System let out a dry chuckle. "Why don’t you just go to sleep? Maybe the answer will come to you in a dream."

Seeing the damned System’s completely unfazed attitude, Wu Yue could only take off her Beast Skin shoes, lie down in her hay bed, and close her eyes to meditate.

’Forget it,’ she thought. ’I should just focus on firing the bricks first. Without bricks, everything else will be a waste of time.’

Watching the Host diligently cultivating, a gratified smile, like that of a doting aunt, appeared on the System’s face.

’It feels like my own little puppy has finally learned how to shake hands...’
