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

The Spirit Fox Tribe was carefully selecting beastmen, believing that Xia Wei'er was completely unaware of their deception from years ago. Little did they know, Xia Wei'er's first suspect was none other than them!

After Xia Weier's mother gave birth to him, she was put under guard by the Beast King under the guise of protection.

The few times Xia Weier met her were all the memories he had of the Beast Mother in his life.

When Xia Weier was three years old, he was summoned to the Beast King's side. The Beast King held the young Xia Weier tightly, which was one of the few times he felt fatherly love.

Young Xia Weier knew nothing at that time. It wasn't until his older brother, who was with his father and mother, beat him to the ground that he understood. His brother punched and kicked him and cursed him incessantly.

Little Xia Wei'er's face was covered in blood, and his body was bruised and purple. Only then did he understand. His mother was gone.

The elder brother blamed him for taking their mother's life. The elder half-brother, however, just watched everything coldly, a very happy smile on his lips.

Xia Weier then realized why his elder brother had disliked him since childhood.

Even as a child, Xia Weier knew that what wanted to kill him wasn't necessarily a disease or a terrifying beast from legend.

Those who want him dead are likely his closest relatives.

Therefore, Xia Weier pursed his lips and said, "Besides the Spirit Fox Tribe, there are also the First Prince, Second Prince, Fourth Prince... and nine other princes and one princess from the Holy City."

“They are backed by the power of six tribes.”

Ruan Xiyue was completely dumbfounded after hearing this.

Why did she lust after his beauty? She's brought such a huge problem upon herself.

Ruan Xiyue rubbed her forehead: "Could the tribes behind them all be large tribes?"

“No.” Xia Weier shook her head.

There are only four large tribes.

Ruan Xiyue's breath, which had just been relieved, caught in her throat, neither rising nor falling.

Only? Four? Large tribes?

The last time Ruan Xiyue was this speechless was before.

What tribes are they?

"The Snow Rabbit tribe, but they probably won't get involved in this. Because I am one of only two princes with the bloodline of the Moon Rabbit. I am of the same lineage as the Snow Rabbit tribe."

"The Bright Crane Tribe is the tribe to which the First Prince's Beast Mother belongs."

"The Treasure-Seeking Rat Tribe is the tribe where the Fourth Prince, Fifth Prince, and Sixth Prince's Beast Mother reside."

"The beast mother of the seventh prince and the eighth princess was once the holy queen of the Red Fox tribe."

"The Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince's beast mothers are from the medium-sized Alpaca Tribe. The Ninth Prince's beast form is also the Moon Rabbit. Therefore, there is a high possibility that they will attack me."

Ruan Xiyue rolled over and snuggled into Long Ze's arms, whining, "I regret it, what should I do? Waaah... Aze, I'm scared, what should I do?"

Before Long Ze could even speak, his older sister Long Niannian and younger sister Ruan Sisi climbed down from his head and clung to Ruan Xiyue's left arm, gently rubbing their heads against it.

"Oh, my dear daughter, don't be afraid. Your mother will not allow any orcs to have any chance to harm you!"

As a result, Long Niannian let out a soft, babyish roar: "Awooo—"

It then flapped its little chest with its wings.

Not to be outdone, Ruan Sisi nudged Ruan Xiyue's arm with her incompletely grown dragon horns, making a "chirp-chirp...chirp-chirp" sound.

It was as if they were all telling Ruan Xiyue not to be afraid, and that they would grow up quickly to protect her.

Ruan Xiyue immediately perked up and asked Xia Weier, "What can the Beast King give them? Do their tribes have any high-ranking, unmarried males? Can we use marriage to sow discord between their tribe and those princes?"

Xia Weier shook his head: "At most, they bet on both sides, without helping either side, which means they profit from both."

Ruan Xiyue scoffed: "My children, if I don't let them pass on their talents and skills to their clansmen, do you think they won't listen?"

"If they want to please both sides, that's only before the ancestral offspring is born! If the ancestral offspring is born, and they still insist on not helping me? Then I'll consider them incredibly stubborn!"

Long Ze frowned, tightened his embrace around Ruan Xiyue, put his arm under his head, and looked at her: "Don't be afraid, your husband will help you. Whatever you want, your husband will make it happen for you."

Ruan Xiyue reached out and traced Long Ze's eyebrows and eyes: "Hurry up and advance, husband. Your advancement is what I need most."

Duo Duo had told Ruan Xiyue that male beastmen purify their bloodline with each advancement in rank. Only after each advancement would their offspring with Ruan Xiyue have increasingly higher aptitude.

If their ability level stagnates, the offspring born will only have progressively worse abilities, except for the first three litters which will have similar abilities.

Long Ze kissed Ruan Xiyue's forehead and said in a low, husky voice, "How about we put the babies back in the space?"

Before Ruan Xiyue could react, Long Niannian quickly climbed from Ruan Xiyue's arm to Long Ze's face and patted his face with her wings.

Ruan Xiyue suppressed a laugh and put the two cubs back into her spatial storage.

Xia Weier's expression was somber. This was his room, and Long Ze was actually embracing his female in his room, seducing her right in front of him!

"Yue'er has just given birth to her cubs, and this is the time when she is most fertile. You should restrain yourself a bit, Beast Husband Longze!"

Ruan Xiyue turned her head: "I won't be pregnant anytime soon, don't worry."

Xia Weier reached out and put his arm around Ruan Xiyue's lower abdomen, then pressed himself against her back and whispered in her ear, "Baby Yue'er, are you inviting me?"

Ruan Xiyue felt Long Ze's unwavering stance and Xia Weier's relentless approach. Her face flushed, and she neither admitted nor refused.

She remained in a good mood until Ruan Xiyue went downstairs for dinner, completely satisfied.

When the system upgrade was complete, Ruan Xiyue hurriedly asked Duoduo: "My Duoduo, do you know what's going on with me right now? Putting aside my beast husband's matter, can you first check on my two spirit fox cubs?"

Before Duoduo could even share the joy of the upgrade with Ruan Xiyue, upon hearing that the cub had a problem, she immediately initiated a fully upgraded scan and examination.

Before long, Duoduo reliably provided Ruan Xiyue with the answer she wanted: "My esteemed host, the two fox cubs were cursed by a beastman skilled in witchcraft, who used their bloodline to steal their life force."

[This energy is unblockable on the Beast God Continent, but my precious host is very clever and used a portable childcare center to block this spell.]

However, this would prevent the fox cubs from leaving. Once they do, the spell that drains their life force will reappear. The best solution is to break this life-draining spell.

Ruan Xiyue was so angry she felt a toothache: "[Can you find out who did it?]"

Duoduo remained silent for a long time: [Host, I can now see that this spell is related to your beastman husband, Xia Weier. His aptitude was enhanced by the spell, and his bloodline power was purified, all related to this spell. However, the beastman who cast the spell is too far away from us; I can't find him. The medium should have been dead for a long time.]
