The Beastmen patrolling the forest saw their captain holding the little female's hand, and their faces filled with utter disdain.
'What kind of captain is he?'
'He makes us patrol our asses off out here while he goes off to suck up to a young female. Pathetic!'
Meanwhile, Yuan Lang, who was being secretly scorned by his team members, pulled Wu Yue to a relatively secluded spot.
Wu Yue watched the Beastman before her warily. "What are you doing?"
Her gaze was as guarded as it could possibly be.
Seeing this, Yuan Lang shot her a look of utter disdain. "Relax. I have no... interest in you..."
He decisively shut his mouth when he saw the cold, sinister look in the little female's eyes.
"I need your help with something."
A flash of cunning passed through the Beastman's eyes, and Wu Yue caught it.
She looked at him suspiciously. "Are you plotting something?"
Yuan Lang's lips curved into a smile. "I'm not the one who started plotting first."
