She gave birth to a litter of furry babies, thus extending her life.

Chapter 326 Part 1: A Little Shock

Ruan Xiyue leaned against Qi Heng and whispered to him, "Then I'll tell you another secret."

Qi Heng raised an eyebrow slightly and asked curiously, "Is this secret dangerous to you? Wouldn't it be better if fewer orcs knew about it?"

Ruan Xiyue's eyes darted around: "It is quite dangerous. The fewer orcs who know this secret, the better."

Qi Heng pursed his lips, wiped the stickiness off Ruan Xiyue's body with a damp cloth, and then slowly said, "If I knew this secret, would it put you in danger?"

Ruan Xiyue laughed: "I don't know. Maybe if you tell other beastmen, they will."

Qi Heng covered Ruan Xiyue with a soft animal skin blanket, hugged her, and said, "Then don't tell me. I don't intend to become a potential source of anxiety for you."

Ruan Xiyue didn't insist and fell asleep as soon as she lay down.

Qi Heng didn't know if he would regret his decision, but after thinking about it carefully, he considered the overall interests of the Spirit Fox Tribe.

They will soon send orcs over, under the guise of helping Ruan Xiyue, and claim that Ruan Xiyue has a recipe for minced meat porridge that can improve the cubs' resistance and aptitude.

The conflict between him and Ruan Xiyue wasn't about whether they could trust each other in a few words. Rather, it was because they were inherently on opposing sides.

He didn't want the interests of the Spirit Fox Tribe and Ruan Xiyue's side to clash.

However, Qi Heng was born in the Spirit Fox Tribe and knew all too well how domineering and powerful the tribe was.

Ruan Xiyue was well aware of these things, which is why she treated Qi Heng with some reservations.

Ruan Xiyue slept for a while, and when she turned over, she saw that Qi Heng was still not asleep, so she hugged him and kissed his chin.

"Go to sleep, there's still a lot to do tomorrow. If only I were a little more ruthless, I would be gentle with you, acting completely unguarded, yet holding you firmly in my hands. Then, when the Spirit Fox Tribe threatens you with your mother, I can just watch helplessly as you shed tears."

"But I don't want it to be like this, because that would cause you even more suffering."

"I said I would trust you, and I will. Don't overthink it. Go to sleep."

Qi Heng tightened his embrace around Ruan Xiyue and couldn't help but kiss her forehead.

In the afternoon, I returned to the tribe from Xiancai.

Ruan Xiyue frowned when she heard that many orcs in the tribe had been injured.

"What happened? Hunting is never this dangerous. Why did it take so long this time, and why are the injuries so severe?"

While treating Cong Xian's injuries, Ruan Xiyue asked a question.

Cong Xian sighed, "In the past, some wandering orcs lived around here. But since the winter beast tide, all the wandering orcs in this area have left."

"Without these wandering orcs hunting wild beasts, some high-level beasts seem to have no natural enemies."

"During this hunt, we encountered twice as many high-level beasts as we have in the past."

Ruan Xiyue nodded and said, "It's alright, once the Beast City is built, iron production should also be put on the agenda."

The beastmen relied too much on their supernatural abilities, so they didn't pay much attention to the popularization and promotion of iron tools.

This time, for example, many orcs were unable to retaliate quickly due to the depletion of their abilities, which led to the injury of many orcs.

If their supernatural abilities are depleted, and they carry iron weapons, wild beasts cannot defeat orcs.

It was late at night when Ruan Xiyue finished using her healing abilities on the injured beastmen.

After washing off the blood, she went to Li Mu's room.

Li Miao opened his eyes in the darkness, his low, husky voice only breaking as Ruan Xiyue rolled over his legs and climbed onto the inner side of the bed:

"I thought you were too busy today to come over."

Ruan Xiyue snuggled into Li Miao's arms: "How could that be? I promised you yesterday."

Li Miao grasped Ruan Xiyue's small hand, which was roaming over his abs: "You're too tired today. Get some rest."

Ruan Xiyue looked up: "No regrets? I'm going to be paired with Cong Xian tomorrow."

Li Miao hugged Ruan Xiyue tightly and kissed the top of her head: "So, don't test my patience anymore, go to sleep."

Ruan Xiyue treated the wounds of more than a dozen orcs and was indeed very tired.

If it weren't for the fact that it's summer now, and if the wound weren't treated properly, it could easily fester and become inflamed, and she wouldn't be suffering so much.

Ruan Xiyue slept soundly in Li Miao's arms, and even in the morning, she was still tightly wrapped around him, her legs holding Li Miao firmly in place.

"I'm going to get up and cook. Aren't you hungry?" Li Miao asked in a low voice.

Ruan Xiyue shook her head, without even opening her eyes: "Amu, be good, stop fooling around! I'm sleepy!"

When Li Miao heard Ruan Xiyue call his name accurately, his fingers trembled slightly with excitement.

He held Ruan Xiyue in his arms and continued to stay with her as she slept. He felt that it was all worth it to give up anything for this moment.

The days that followed passed quickly, as Xian diligently followed the tribe's hunting party.

Li Miao has already begun the process of selecting playmates for the cubs of the cheetah lion tribe. Qi Heng hasn't reacted much, but Dong Songlin is urging him to join Li Miao in the selection process.

Meanwhile, the six more bionic robot beastmen that Ruan Xiyue purchased from the system store were also ready.

Ruan Xiyue pleaded pitifully with the system, "Duoduo, I've spent all my 200,000+ points, and I only have a few hundred left. If anything happens to me, you have to give me a loan!"

Duoduo quickly assured her: "Don't worry, host! Everything will be alright. If anything happens, Duoduo will definitely give you loan points! Besides, the seven little ones in your belly will be born in just over a month!"

Ruan Xiyue was slightly relieved and instructed Duoduo to deploy the bionic robot beastmen 150 kilometers away from the tribe.

As the androids were heading towards the tribe, they encountered a guard patrolling nearby and were taken back with them.

These bio-mechanical beastmen consist of three males and three females.

Their physical ages are set as one male and one female in their forties, and two males and two females in their thirties.

The patrolling guards were all assigned from the Beast King's side. When they saw the six orcs wearing red and purple linen clothes, they immediately became very respectful.

The dyeing technology on the Beast God Continent is not advanced. The treatment of plants, the drying and washing of dyed fabrics all affect the color of the fabrics.

Such vibrant red and clear purple hues are rarely seen even in the Holy City.

These are colors that only noble orc families can wear.

The patrolling guards quickly exchanged pleasantries with the orcs.

Ruan Xiyue named them much like the Beast King named his bodyguards: the captains of the guards were Kui Yi, Kui Er, Kui San, and so on. The android beastmen on Ruan Xiyue's side were named Xuan Jia, Xuan Yi, Xuan Bing, and so on.

The patrol captain chatted for a while with the female in her forties, who was the leader of the six android beastmen, and found that she was really powerful, as if she knew something about everything in the world.
