Childbearing System: All the big bosses in the beast world are her offspring.

Bai Lang and Mo Bai were taking care of Ruan Tang and the kids and they were almost done eating when Qi Xuan and Ling Ze came back with two bamboo tubes.

Ruan Tang invited them over for breakfast. Seeing that she had recovered well, the two of them felt relieved. Jun put down the bamboo tube with a smile on his face and walked over. Lingze bent down and held her in his arms, gently smelling the fragrance of her hair, and said softly, "Ruan Ruan is finally awake."

Ruan Tang patted his thin waist lightly, and her voice came from his chest: "Well, where did you go so early in the morning? Why are you so cold?"

Qi Xuan stood aside, wanting to hug her too. He tugged at Lingze's arm but couldn't move it. Afraid of hurting Ruan Tang, he gave up. He bent down and kissed Ruan Tang's upturned face. He replied, "Didn't Ruan Ruan say she wanted to eat stir-fried clams a few days ago? We just went to the stream over there and scooped up two buckets. I'll clean it up later and make it for you at noon."

During the time Mo Ran was away, Qi Xuan became the head chef of the family, and his cooking skills improved by leaps and bounds. Ruan Tang withdrew from Lingze's arms, stretched out her hands to pull Qi Xuan to her side, put her arms around his waist, tilted her head back, the light in her eyes flashed, and said in a sweet voice: "Thank you, Xuan, you remember my casual remark so clearly."

She turned around again and saw Lingze looking at her. She said, "Thank you, Aze, but we can't eat lunch today. You all should sit down and eat. After that, we'll go to the forest. The rain has finally stopped after half a month. There must be a lot of good things in the forest. Let's go and harvest them."

"Okay." Seeing that she was in such a good mood, the tiger and the leopard were also happy.

……

After the family finished their meal, Ruan Tang asked Mo Bai to put all the panda cubs into a cradle backpack. The little foxes protested at first, saying that they wanted to carry their younger brothers and sisters by themselves. Ruan Tang told them that they were going to a slightly farther forest today and would need to run very fast along the way. Mo Bai's father's back was broad, so the younger brothers and sisters would be safe enough. The little foxes reluctantly agreed.

When the family passed by the tribe, Ruan Tang asked Bai Lang to notify the orcs in the tribe and let those who were willing to go follow.

The hunting team left early, and the only people left in the tribe were the patrol team and the male orcs who were at home with their partners and taking care of their cubs.

When the females heard that the goddess was going to the forest to pick wild fruits, they all clamored to go with her.

When females go out, they are accompanied by at least six or seven partners, and a few more half-grown cubs, and finally the group following them becomes larger and larger.

When Hu Ling heard that Sister Aruan was going into the forest, she quickly prepared a few animal skin bags, told the witch that she wanted to follow Sister Aruan to collect herbs, and then followed her with several of her new companions.

Hu Ling asked her partner to run faster. Once she caught up with Ruan Tang, she excitedly shouted, "Sister Ruan! I'm here! Haha, today's picking team is the largest with orcs I've ever seen! Even Hu Qing, who is usually the laziest, has come along."

Ruan Tang sat leisurely on the tiger's back, turned her head and glanced at the team behind her. She smiled and said, "It's been raining for too long and it's driving everyone crazy. It's good to go out for a walk. Today I will teach you some edible foods. The cold season is coming soon, so we should store as much food as possible to avoid going hungry during the cold season."

"Yeah, you won't be hungry following Sister Aruan. I have prepared several animal skin bags. I will pick more herbs later." Hu Ling knew that Sister Aruan knew a lot. Every time she went into the forest with her, she would teach her to recognize various herbs.

Ruan Tang chuckled. This Hu Ling was on the verge of becoming a medical geek. She nodded, "Okay, I'll teach you a few more herbs."

……

The group ran for half a day before reaching their destination. It was a primeval forest at a high altitude. Mosses grew on the big trees, and the dense towering trees hid the forest tightly under their leaves.

As soon as they entered the forest, Ruan Tang discovered something valuable. She stood up from Lingze's back and shouted to the crowd, "Everyone come here. I'll show you which mushrooms are edible. These are delicious fresh, and can also be dried and stored."

"Okay! Thank you, goddess, we are here!" Hu Qing has become Ruan Tang's number one fan girl since Ruan Tang successfully delivered her baby last time. No matter where she goes, the word "goddess" is always on her lips, and she cannot tolerate anyone saying anything bad about the goddess.

Ruan Tang waited until everyone came closer before jumping off Lingze's back. She walked over to a fallen dead tree, squatted down, and pointed at the golden mushrooms on it. She introduced them, "Do you see this? It's called Elm Yellow Mushroom, and it tastes really good."

She squatted down next to a rotten tree stump and pointed at a few small, bright red mushrooms. "These are red mushrooms. They are delicious and tender," she said.

"This is a tiger's paw mushroom, and this is a chanterelle mushroom,"

"This is a broom mushroom, and these are goose egg mushrooms!"

"This is the tricholoma, wow,"

She said to Hu Ling who was following her, "Lingling, this is Gastrodia elata, that one is Polygonum multiflorum, and that one over there with the red beans is ginseng! You're so lucky, go dig them up quickly, these are all good medicinal herbs!"

Hu Ling followed Ruan Tang's finger and felt a little overwhelmed. She nodded rapidly, her eyes shining, and said excitedly, "Yeah, I knew it would be a fruitful day following Sister Ruan! Then I'll go dig herbs. Sister Ruan, I'll come and play with you later."

The other females followed Ruan Tang closely, listening intently. They were just there for the fun. After a long while, they couldn't remember a single species. They all scratched their heads and looked at their partners. The males only knew of one or two edible mushrooms growing in the ground, but today they were finally introduced to so many varieties that grew on trees, under mosses, and on rotten leaves. They had missed out on so much food before!

But now that they know it today, they'll know it in the future. They won't miss it again, and they won't waste any edible food again! The males received their partners' questioning looks, and they all nodded confidently: "Don't worry, the goddess taught us, we've all remembered it!"

Hearing them say this, Ruan Tang announced loudly, "Now that everyone has memorized the characteristics of the mushrooms, let's get started. However, you all know that many mushrooms are poisonous. One can kill a wild animal. For the sake of our lives, if you're unsure, don't pick them. Only pick the ones I say are edible, or bring them to me and ask before picking!"

"We all listen to the goddess, so let's go pick mushrooms!" Although Hu Qing didn't remember a few species, it didn't stop her from praising the goddess. Her voice was so loud that it could penetrate the thick treetops above her head.

"Go ahead and fill your hide bags!"

As soon as the goddess finished speaking, the beastmen, carrying their companions and cubs, dispersed in the forest and went about their business.

Even after all the orcs had dispersed, the little foxes were still looking up at their mother with adoration in their eyes. Yitian admired her and said, "Mother, you're amazing! You know so much! I want to learn from you and become the smartest little female!"

Ruan Tang rubbed her little head and confirmed her thoughts, saying, "Well, mother believes in my little Yitian. Now each of you go to Father Mo Bai and bring the younger brothers and sisters you are responsible for to your side. We are about to start harvesting!"

"Okay!" After receiving the order, the little foxes lined up with baskets in their mouths to pick up their cubs.
