Pampered Beasts: Beautiful Actress, Many Children, Many Blessings

There is so much work to be done: burned-down houses need to be rebuilt, collapsed outposts need to be re-erected, and defensive fences for the tribe need to be deployed one by one.

But the most crucial element is still people!

In three days, it's impossible for Fang Lao to kill everyone. There are still a large number of lynx people scattered in various corners of the Southern Continent, and they need to go and bring them back one by one.

Finding them and gaining their trust are challenges that the young chief must face.

Fortunately, his brothers helped out, and Cai Cai also contributed a lot of assistance.

In half a day, they brought back five teams. Some of these teams still had a thousand members left, while others had only three or four members left, all alone. The moment they saw Fatty Orange, they immediately burst into tears.

In an instant, the sorrow and joy of surviving the disaster were intertwined. Everyone embraced and encouraged each other, and spontaneously joined in the reconstruction of their homes.

Of course, some people, through various connections, successfully joined other tribes and were unwilling to leave.

Fat Orange did not force them to do so, expressing respect for their personal wishes and choices.

Half a month passed peacefully, and the clansmen who could be found gradually returned. Including the elderly, children, males and females, there were still more than 5,000 people left.

Even though Xixi was somewhat prepared for this outcome, she still felt it was too tragic. A tribe of tens of thousands of people was reduced to only one-tenth overnight—what a devastating sight that was.

The hatred in my heart for Fang Lao deepened even further.

So many days have passed, and she still can't understand why the old man Fang swung his knife at his clansmen.

She could understand his desire for revenge and to reclaim power, but whether it was revenge or power, he only wanted to kill the old chieftain and Fat Orange's lineage, and at most her cubs as well. After all, they were Fat Orange's children, and she knew the principle of eliminating all traces of them.

But she could never get over it. Why did he kill these people, these orcs who were trying to make a living? Just because they didn't support his rebellion, did they have to die?

Is this so-called betrayal really so unforgettable that it puts him on the same level as the old chief and Fat Orange, and that they must all die?

She could never understand or figure it out.

Perhaps she shouldn't have acted so quickly; perhaps she should have kept him alive for proper interrogation; or perhaps she should have gone back with Fatty Orange and killed him before he defected, either to eliminate any future troubles or to resolve the pent-up emotions in his heart, so that this tragic ending wouldn't have occurred.

However, there was no "maybe," and the doubts in her heart could never be resolved.

To Xixi's surprise, her good friend Nuannuan actually carved a wooden statue for her!

The wooden statue is a one-to-one replica of her, carved with lifelike detail, even the folds on her dress are accurately reproduced.

She had no idea that Nuannuan possessed such wood carving skills; if she lived in modern times, she would definitely be a master of intangible cultural heritage!

However, to Xixi's surprise, Nuannuan did not give the wooden statue to her, but instead placed it on the central altar of the lynx tribe.

The instant she placed it, red runes spread outwards from the wooden statue, centered on its base, towards the lynx tribe. Immediately afterward, she felt a powerful mental wave!

An energy bar spontaneously appeared before her eyes, and Xixi was surprised to find that numbers were clearly displayed on it!

You see, all along, Xixi could only see the energy bar, just a single green line. She could see the energy slowly increasing, but she could never make out the exact value.

She had also asked Yuanmeng, but only received perfunctory answers such as insufficient combat power, insufficient mental strength, and not yet unlocked.

But at that moment, she suddenly saw clear numbers, and those numbers were scrolling rapidly!

what happened?

No, to be precise, what did Nuannuan do?

After all, all these changes happened after Nuannuan placed her wooden statue in the center of the altar!

"Is this the power of witchcraft?" I thought I knew enough about this world, but now I realize that what I knew was only the tip of the iceberg.

Just then, a warm voice rang out, "Xixi, can you feel it? The gratitude of tens of thousands of lynx souls!"

"Hiss..." Xi Xi gasped. Although she couldn't see anything, hearing these words, she inexplicably felt that there might really be tens of thousands of lynx ghosts watching her from all around!

"Well, why don't you try to persuade them? The past is the past, don't dwell on it!" Let them reincarnate if they're supposed to, but please don't follow her around every day!

Upon hearing this, Nuannuan was taken aback, realizing that Xixi had misunderstood. She smiled and said, "It's just a few remaining traces of consciousness. It's better to gather them into gratitude than resentment."

“Since you like hearing thank you, I think this gratitude will definitely be useful to you, so I’ll give it to you. You deserve it, and it’s also a good deed for them,” Nuannuan explained. “And this wooden statue here is like you being here. Whether it’s the living or the dead, their gratitude will be conveyed to you, which will make things much more convenient!”

Xixi knew that Nuannuan's request had even been considered in terms of the means to express her gratitude. Could it be that she and Yuanmeng shared the same origin? How could she guess the reasons behind it all?

That's fine, it makes things easier for her too, as she doesn't need to worry about how to explain.

With that in mind, she went straight to the shelf and exchanged one hundred Pregnancy Pills, One Childbirth Pills, and One Rejuvenation Pills for them.

Fortunately, all three types of pills were free, so exchanging such a large quantity wouldn't bankrupt her.

Originally, she wanted to exchange for some Foundation Establishment Pills, Tempering Pills, and Life-Saving Pills, but Yuanmeng said that these pills were free for her own use, but if she gave them to others, she would have to buy them at the original price, and she would refuse to pay on credit!

The key issue is that this refusal to extend credit completely blocked her path, since she still owes a huge amount of debt and has no balance at all!

To avoid arousing suspicion, she put the three kinds of pills into three separate pockets, then took them out from her bosom and handed them over.

"These are the elixirs you requested. This bag guarantees pregnancy, this bag guarantees childbirth, and this bag guarantees safety." Xixi didn't make it too complicated, keeping it as simple as possible. She even tied different colored knots on the bags to distinguish them.

“Each bag contains one hundred pills, which can help one hundred females successfully conceive and give birth. Within ten years, the lynx tribe will have hundreds of offspring. Combined with those born naturally, this will definitely ensure the lynx tribe continues to thrive!”

The reason why no more was given is that the entire lynx tribe only has five thousand people. They need manpower to take care of pregnant females and cubs. Excessive reproduction would actually hinder the development of the tribe.

However, contrary to Xixi's expectations, Xixi did not accept the pill. Instead, she pushed it into her arms and refused, saying, "I cannot accept it! You have done enough for the Lynx tribe and for me. The cycle of karma is inevitable, and the Lynx tribe's karma should be borne by us, not you!"
