Chapter 577: Chapter 412: Ran for Nothing
At their companion’s words, the other Shun Yuan recalled the two from before, whose hands were only as long as a female’s forearm.
They looked down at their own builds, then thought about those two, and instantly lost all interest. "AOO AOO."
’What’s the point? Let’s just go back to sleep. Are the fruits not delicious? Are the adult males not enticing enough? Why go and mess with those two little runts who haven’t even finished growing?’
"HROOO~OH~"
"Exactly. Remember what happened to the chief? Those little Beastman Warriors look small, but they’re a real pain to deal with. We should stick together more from now on. The chief himself got killed."
After some discussion, the Shun Yuan all agreed that chasing after Wu Yue and her companions wasn’t worth the trouble. One by one, they lazily lay back down.
Besides, after the last mating season’s roundup, they had more than enough males in the cave. There was no urgent need for more.
The Shun Yuan might have lost interest in them, but Wu Yue had no idea. She ran for dear life, only stopping after covering a huge distance.
Her mouth was full of the coppery taste of blood, her throat was raw and aching, and her legs felt like they were filled with lead—as if they didn’t even belong to her.
She looked down at the two furballs in her arms. "..."
’Wait, can’t Tayun fly?’
’So what was the point of me just running for my life?’
’Was all that running for nothing?’
"System, we ran all this way, and you didn’t even bother to get down and run on your own? I’m dead tired!"
Hearing no sounds of pursuit from the Shun Yuan, Wu Yue’s heart eased, and she dropped the two small creatures onto the ground.
She truly couldn’t run another step. And anyway, she was the same gender as the Shun Yuan.
The two males weren’t worried, so what was she panicking about?
"Host, the Shun Yuan never even chased us."
The System gave its Dog Host, who was sitting on the ground panting for breath, a look that was hard to put into words.
He’d tried to tell his Host while they were escaping, but for some reason, she had just kept clutching him and Tayun, sprinting madly in one breath all the way here.
Upon hearing this, Wu Yue’s expression froze. "And you didn’t think to tell me sooner?"
’This damn System is getting more and more useless.’
The System plonked its chubby rear onto the ground and rolled its eyes heavenward. "Dog Host, it’s not that I didn’t tell you! I must have yelled at you a dozen times along the way, but you acted like you couldn’t hear me and just kept on running."
Wu Yue froze, then glanced down at her own aching arms and legs.
’I was probably so completely dominated by my fear of the Shun Yuan just now,’ she thought. ’All I could think was ’run, run, run,’ so I didn’t even hear the System’s voice.’
Now that the danger had passed for the moment, she felt as if her limbs weren’t her own. She flopped onto the ground and began to rest.
"I’m going to rest for a bit. You two keep watch. Tell me if anything happens."
The System squatted down beside its Host’s head. "Host, I think you should probably change. Your beast skin clothes got ripped to shreds while you were running. You’re basically one pair of flowery shorts away from streaking right now."
At this, Wu Yue shifted her butt.
’That explains it,’ she thought. ’No wonder I felt a chilly breeze on my butt. Turns out I was putting on a deep forest streaking performance.’
She grunted, sitting up. Her consciousness entered the System Space, ready to pull out a new set of beast skin clothes to change into.
But after searching for a long time, she couldn’t find a single article of beast skin clothing.
"Holy crap, where are my beast skin clothes?"
She searched the entire space but still couldn’t find any spare beast skin clothes. Her heart sank.
’I have to go find Yuan Lang and the others later. Am I really supposed to go in this... bold, half-naked state?’
"Host, are you looking for beast skin clothes?"
The System suddenly spoke up. Wu Yue nodded hurriedly. "Yeah, these are totally unwearable. Do you know which corner my beast skin clothes are in?"
The System raised its little paw and patted its Dog Host’s hand. "Host, you can stop looking in the space. Remember when Qingcao said she and Grandma Lu Shui were going to wash beast skins? You got lazy and handed over all your beast skin clothes and blankets."
Wu Yue: "..."
’Bullshit! Am I that shameless?’
The System gave a dry laugh. "..."
’Oh, you absolutely are,’ it thought. ’Don’t even doubt it. You’re not just that kind of person, you’ve perfected it.’
"Host, you should just change into something from the System Space for now. Your current getup is a real eyesore."
Wu Yue: "’Host,’ my body is perfectly curvy now—big where it should be, small where it should be. You got a problem with my figure?"
The System flinched. "My eyes are broken. All hail the Host."
