Qingcao nodded in understanding. "So that's why. No wonder your eyes sparkle every time you look at the half beastmen in the tribe."
Wu Yue looked awkward. "Hehe..."
'What else can I do right now besides laugh like an idiot?'
"For the sake of the host's image, please pick a deserted corner the next time you decide to swoon."
'Of course. How could my unscrupulous system pass up a chance to kick me while I'm down?'
"Never mind that. Let's get back to gathering. We have to return to the tribe soon." Qingcao impatiently pulled Wu Yue back to where they had been gathering before.
Rejoining the main group, Wu Yue could clearly feel that the other females had grown much more distant toward her.
The carefree Qingcao didn't seem to notice, her attention completely focused on the bitter herbs around her.
Wu Yue took out a stick she had picked up while gathering medicinal herbs and used it to pry out the bitter herbs one by one, tossing them into the woven bag at her waist.
