Surviving in the Beast World with a System

Chapter 444 - 366: Dividing the Taros (Part 3)

As the two spoke, they quickened their pace toward the tribe’s entrance. Watching their retreating figures, Wu Yue felt her whole mood sour.

’Aya, what on earth did you come here for?’

’To just abandon me here like this... does your conscience not ache?’

The two females’ guess was correct. When the Black Wolf Tribe’s trading party arrived at the Snow Tiger Tribe’s encampment, they were utterly stunned!

’I thought we all agreed to live in caves together?’

’And to sleep in tents when it’s hot in the summer!’

’Aren’t we supposed to be the four united and friendly brothers of the Polar Forest?’

’Why did the Snow Tiger Tribe have to go and develop so much behind our backs?’

Rows of beautiful houses, so stunning they could practically blind a person, lined a wide road. Members of the Snow Tiger Tribe bustled in and out of every courtyard. Judging by the sheer number of houses, it was clear this wasn’t a privilege reserved only for Beastman Warriors or Half beastman Warriors.

’So the Snow Tiger Tribe has already surpassed the great super-tribes of the outside world and achieved housing for all?’

The Black Wolf Witch, who had sworn to capture the detestable Worm Witch of the Scorpion Tribe and make him suffer a hundred times over, had also come along with his tribesmen for the trade meet.

When he heard that the Black Wolf Witch had arrived, the Snow Tiger Witch immediately put on his shoes and leaped down from his heated bed. ’This is the perfect chance to gloat,’ he thought. ’I can’t miss it.’

So, when the Black Wolf Witch—who already looked as though he’d eaten a basket of sour fruit—saw the Snow Tiger Witch hurrying over from a distance, any trace of a smile vanished from his face.

"You secretly built all these houses and didn’t tell us. Is that really how you treat your friends?"

The Snow Tiger Witch chuckled smugly. "I didn’t build these houses. The young ones in the tribe are just that capable. They built these, and I’m just living in one. The youngsters would be unhappy otherwise."

"Host, isn’t what the witch is doing a classic case of what they call a humblebrag?"

The System, perched in Wu Yue’s arms, kept sneering at the distant Snow Tiger Witch, its kittenish face filled with contempt.

Wu Yue stifled a laugh. "Yep, that’s humblebragging, all right."

For some reason, hearing the Snow Tiger Witch’s words only made the Black Wolf Witch feel even more displeased.

"Heh heh, come on, come on. You can stay with me for the trade meet. I’ve got a few empty rooms in my courtyard—enough for you, and we’ll still have space for Old Eagle and Lion when they arrive."

With that, he turned to Wu Yue. "Yue, please arrange accommodations for the rest of the Black Wolf Tribe members."

Wu Yue understood what the Snow Tiger Witch was getting at and nodded with a smile.

After the two witches had left, Wu Yue and the Snow Tiger Tribe’s Beastman Warriors led the members of the Black Wolf Tribe toward a newly constructed inn.

"This is where you’ll be staying during the trade meet. Each room can house four people, though you can squeeze more in if you don’t mind."

"We’ve prepared five rooms for each Great Tribe’s trading party. If you need more than five, you’ll have to trade items for them."

The Black Wolf Tribe’s Beastman Warriors looked at one another. Five rooms would only house half of their people. What were the rest supposed to do?

"If you don’t want to stay in the rooms, you can set up tents instead. There’s no charge for the camping area."

Staring at the sweetly smiling young female before them, the Black Wolf Tribe’s Beastman Warriors exchanged glances.

’Everyone wanted to stay in these houses—they looked so comfortable. But to have to trade for them...’

"What is the price for a room?" a middle-aged Black Wolf Beastman Warrior asked.

Wu Yue’s smile grew even wider. "Tribes from within the Polar Forest get a discount. Outsiders need to pay ten Beast Skins per day, but tribes from our own Polar Forest only need to pay two."

As she spoke, she took a Beast Skin from a nearby Snow Tiger Tribe Beastman Warrior and unfurled it. "A complete Beast Skin of this size."

Gazing at the Saber-toothed Tiger pelt, which was as tall as the young female herself, the Black Wolf Tribe’s beastmen felt their spirits plummet.

’Calling you Snow Tiger Beastmen really sells you short. You’re just a pack of black-hearted tigers!’

The corner of the middle-aged Black Wolf Beastman Warrior’s mouth twitched. "Please show our Beastman Warriors to the camping area."

’Damn it, two pelts that huge? And per day, no less! You people are unbelievable.’

Wu Yue beamed and pointed to the large plaza in front of the inn. "It’s right over there. You can go find a spot and set up yourselves."

The two locations weren’t far from each other, but one was free, while the other required payment in Beast Skins.
