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

Ruan Xiyue hugged Qin Ye's waist and said, "You've worked hard."

Qin Ye kissed Ruan Xiyue's long hair, let out a long sigh of relief, and said, "I'm not too tired. It's just that the Yellow-Rank male from the Deer Clan who's been running around for the Holy Female. I'm just worried that I won't be able to be there to help you have your cubs. Thank you for your hard work."

Ruan Xiyue pouted and said, "I've really had a tough time. My feet have gotten bigger and my legs are swollen. I don't feel uncomfortable, but I look bad."

Qin Ye quickly helped Ruan Xiyue back to the stone house and said, "Let's stay here for the next few days, it's more spacious here."

To cheer Ruan Xiyue up, Qin Ye transformed into his beast form, letting her hug and rub him. He knew Ruan Xiyue loved his beast form the most. Although she always liked to rub his ears and tail until he just wanted a cold bath, he hadn't been by her side during his little female's labor. Qin Ye was filled with guilt.

Just as Ruan Xiyue was rubbing Qin Ye's ear with a satisfied expression, her stomach started to hurt again.

When Qin Ye wasn't around, Ruan Xiyue didn't think she was being spoiled, but as soon as he was by her side, she said coquettishly, "Qin Ye, I..."

Ruan Xiyue felt as if her water had broken between her legs... She had only wanted to act cute.

Qin Ye reacted even faster than her, quickly transforming into human form, getting out of bed, and saying to Ruan Xiyue, "Baby, don't be afraid. I'll go call my mother first, and then go find the witch doctor."

Ruan Xiyue nodded blankly, calling out to Duoduo in her mind: [Hey! This is my first time and I have no experience! What should I do now?]

Duoduo quickly replied: "Do you need to take the epidural now?"

Ruan Xiyue then remembered that she had this item, and quickly took out the pain-relieving childbirth pills from Duo Duo's storage compartment and swallowed them. The agonizing contractions were no longer a problem for her.

The Qin family's beast mother arrived, heavily pregnant, and had her beast husband running around in circles. One was to boil water, another to prepare animal hides, another to cook porridge, and yet another was to wait at the door in case of any emergency.

When the witch doctor arrived, Ruan Xiyue had already given birth to her first child.

[Congratulations, host, on successfully giving birth to a cub. The cub is a male, beast-type Moon Leopard with a purple-tier special ability. Reward: 200 points, lifespan increased by one year.]

The witch doctor's smile vanished, for the newborn cub had been born in a beast-like form. The Qin family's beast mother's heart skipped a beat, but she maintained her smile, taking Ruan Xiyue's hand and saying, "Don't be nervous, take a deep breath, and then push—"

Ruan Xiyue wasn't nervous; she just wanted to deliver the baby quickly. She was tired of having such a big belly that she couldn't even see her toes!

[Congratulations, host, on successfully giving birth to a cub, a male Dark Moon Leopard, with a Blue-tier Ability. Reward: 600 points; additional 100,000 points for the Ancestral Bloodline. Congratulations, host, on acquiring a Blue-tier Healing Ability.]

[Congratulations, host, on successfully giving birth to a cub, a male, beast-type iron-eating beast with blue-tier special abilities. Reward: 400 points, with an additional 100 points for rare species. Congratulations, host, on obtaining a Wind-type profound technique.]

[Congratulations, host, on successfully giving birth to a cub. The cub is a female, beast-type Moon Leopard with a white-tier ability. Reward: 200 points, 1 square meter of storage space.]

After all four babies were born, Ruan Xiyue asked, "Why didn't they make any noise?" In her memory, in her previous life, when a baby was born, didn't you pat the soles of your feet to make the baby cry out?

Just as the witch doctor was wondering how to explain, the four cubs suddenly transformed into four chubby babies. This left the witch doctor and the Qin family's beast mother both surprised and delighted. They had originally thought that if the remaining four beast-shaped cubs couldn't transform into human form in the future, Ruan Xiyue would definitely be devastated.

Who knew these four little ones would be so gifted! They could transform into human form right after birth!

The witch doctor quickly said, "The baby only cries when it's hungry."

"Does the host want to upgrade the system?" Duoduo asked happily.

Ruan Xiyue was silent for a moment, then asked, "What benefits will it bring me if I upgrade you? Please explain."

[Oh, my esteemed host~ Upgrading the system for 500 points is a steal, my host~] Duoduo introduced in an exaggerated dubbed film tone: [After the upgrade, the host can open the system shop for free, and the map search range will be expanded by ten kilometers. Early pregnancy tests can be detected as early as five days after implantation. Most importantly, the baby's health can be monitored in real time.]

Ruan Xiyue thought for a moment, then said, "Alright then, let's upgrade."

Duoduo quickly replied, "Okay!"

After the witch doctor finished washing the cubs, he said, "This black one doesn't seem to be of black panther lineage to me. It has a bump on its head, somewhat resembling the Dark Moon Panther from the records! But it's a bit weak and needs more milk. The only female cub is also a bit weak. It's probably because it gave birth to four cubs in one litter, and it's not getting enough nutrition."

The Qin family's beast mother was extremely nervous and hurriedly asked, "What should we do? Will the breast milk provide enough nutrition?"

The witch doctor also looked troubled. This was her first time delivering four cubs. The best she had ever done in her cheetah tribe was giving birth to three cubs in one litter! Any cubs with more than three didn't survive. She didn't know if Ruan Xiyue could provide enough nutrition for four cubs who were breastfed.

Duo Duo seemed to have completed its upgrade and said, "[My esteemed host, the system shop is now open. You can choose to take the milk-boosting pills first, 1 point each. Then, you can supplement with energy-boosting milk powder, dear!]"

Just as Ruan Xiyue was about to open the system shop, she saw the witch doctor pull Qin family beast mother aside and say, "Young people should be a little shy, let's go out first!"

Ruan Xiyue looked at Qin Ye, who was sitting on the animal skin rug, with a puzzled expression. His ears were red, and he said in a low voice, "The witch doctor asked me to help you..."

So Qin Ye bent down and grabbed the children's food buns to "help" them pass through.

Ruan Xiyue turned her face away and gently grabbed the beast ears that had popped up on Qin Ye's head.

At this moment, Duoduo's heartless electronic voice ruins the mood: [If you drink any more, the little ones will starve to death!]

Ruan Xiyue blushed and patted Qin Ye, saying, "Let's go to the other side. This side... is already open."

Qin Ye raised his head, his eyes filled with the aggressive intensity of a predator locking onto its prey. He licked his lips and gave a heavy, nasal "hmm."

After Qin Ye finished patting both sides and turned to hug the baby, Ruan Xiyue bought a milk-boosting pill from the system and swallowed it.

The cubs seemed to prefer transforming into their animal forms, so Ruan Xiyue had to transform into her animal form as well, so that all four cubs could eat at the same time. Qin Ye watched as a soft, adorable black and white bear lay on the bed. Its round face was so cute that he couldn't move his legs.

The witch doctor waited for a long time before asking, "Is it ready?"
