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

Ruan Xiyue readily admitted, "I just don't understand."

The original owner of this body and her elder sister, Ruan Xiyao, were full sisters, sharing the same parents and taking their father's surname. Since her other fathers had no children, she assumed they all took their fathers' surnames.

The original owner's mother caught a cold after giving birth to a cub for another beastman and passed away. The cub, who was not breastfed at the time, also caught a cold and died not long after.

The original owner's memories were filled with happy eating, rolling around, and playing... that's how she grew up being pampered by several beast fathers. What did she know?

The reason I named Luo Yurou's cub last time was because Luo Yurou's first beast husband also had the surname Luo.

Luo Yurou glanced at Ruan Xiyue, pushed aside Chu Jiayun's friends, and sat down on the edge of Ruan Xiyue's bed. She said, "Some females give the right to name their male beasts for the sake of so-called love. Let me tell you, don't be so silly... But... Brother Qin... Brother Qin Ye is such a responsible and good male, you can also give him the right to name his male beasts once."

The other young females looked at Luo Yurou curiously, wanting to hear her insights. This greatly satisfied Luo Yurou's vanity. She glanced around at them before slowly saying, "If you're going to give someone the right to name a cub, either give it to a very responsible beastmaster, or agree with the beastmaster that if the cub has good aptitude, the beastmaster's family must provide a certain amount of energy fruits. Once the cub's rank is determined during its infancy, it can start eating small amounts of energy fruits."

"We also need to make arrangements with the beast master regarding things like beast cores, and ask him to provide them until the cubs grow up, or at least until they are ten years old. This is because some cubs with good aptitude will go hunting with the hunting team at the age of eleven, and by then they will be able to extract beast cores on their own."

"That's how high-potential, high-ranking cubs are raised. If you monopolize the naming rights and let other beastmen raise the cubs together, you'll be exhausted just dealing with the psychological balance between several beastmen. But if you think a particular cub has good potential, or if you wait until the cub is three years old and its rank can be determined, and you find out which cub has good potential, then you can have the cub's father change the cub's name and raise it yourself."

"That way, the cub's father will take care of it, and you won't get tired. Or some cubs can change their form right after birth, and those must have good potential. A skilled beast master will ask for the right to name the cub. He will definitely treat that cub very well."

After Luo Yurou finished speaking, Chu Jiayun and the other females looked at her with admiration, as if they had learned something. Luo Yurou then put on an expression as if these country bumpkins couldn't live without her.

Ruan Xiyue seemed thoughtful. She decided to ask Qin Ye when he returned from the hunt. However, the baby iron-eating beast would definitely have to be named Ruan Qin.

Luo Yurou then took a moment to look at Ruan Xiyue's four cubs. After watching for a while, she suddenly widened her eyes. She looked at Ruan Xiyue, then at the little black leopard with its black fur, and suddenly stood up, saying to Ruan Xiyue, "I just remembered I have something to do."

Just before leaving, Luo Yurou came back and said to Chu Jiayun and the others, "You must never tell anyone that Xiyue gave birth to four cubs at once, and that each cub can transform into human form!"

Everyone nodded and smiled in agreement.

After Luo Yurou left, Chu Jiayun pouted and said, "We're not stupid. If you're not safe, the other females will suffer too! I've never seen a herd of wandering beasts only fight over one female!"

Ruan Xiyue was very curious about the parenting practices in the beast world and asked Chu Jiayun's friends many questions. She asked in surprise, "Don't you people observe postpartum confinement?"

The woman, who had given birth to two children, asked curiously, "What is postpartum confinement?"

"It means that after giving birth to the cubs, they need to eat less oil and salt, avoid wind, and not take cold showers. They need to stay in the animal den for a month," Ruan Xiyue explained.

Everyone looked at each other, then shook their heads, saying, "No. Why would we do that?"

Ruan Xiyue asked, "If we don't do this, won't we age very quickly? Wrinkles will appear on our faces very fast. We'll also get sick more easily."

Chu Jiayun suddenly became interested. She widened her eyes and asked, "Is this why your Iron-Eating Beast Clan looks so youthful and lives so long?"

Ruan Xiyue blinked. She didn't know, but it must be true, right? In the beast world, females would rest for three to five days after giving birth, then go to the river for a cold bath. She was stunned when she first saw it. Anyway, she still firmly believed that one should have a month-long confinement period.

"My esteemed host, you don't need to observe postpartum confinement. The Nursing and Remodeling Pill has the same effect as postpartum confinement. It provides you with the energy and nutrients to repair your body in one go. If you're worried about your postpartum pelvic bones opening up and being exposed to wind affecting your health, you can take a Body Strengthening Pill as well," said Duoduo.

Upon hearing this, Ruan Xiyue suddenly became happy and asked, "If something happens between Qin Ye and me during this time, is there a chance I'll get pregnant again?"

[Get pregnant and have the baby! Don't worry, host, the Body Strengthening Pill will make all your physical indicators as strong as an ox, dear!]

Ruan Xiyue thought for a moment and then remained silent.

Chu Jiayun and the others played with the cubs for a while longer before preparing to leave. Before leaving, she thought for a long time and finally asked, "Xi Yue, can I tell the witch doctor about what you said about postpartum confinement? Many of our females age faster and are more prone to illness in old age because they have never had postpartum confinement, just as you said."

Ruan Xiyue nodded, not minding it at all.

After the young females left, Ruan Xiyue consumed one Strength-Enhancing Pill and spent 10 points to stock up on five more. She then asked in her mind: "[Duoduo, can the cubs eat Strength-Enhancing Pills?]"

Duoduo quickly said, "It's best not to feed it to the baby for now, wait until it's a year old. Or, you can eat an extra one, and the baby will absorb some of it through breastfeeding."

Ruan Xiyue then took another health-boosting pill, and felt so full that she didn't want to eat dinner.

She picked up the Dark Moon Leopard and examined it closely; the little guy hadn't opened his eyes yet. She gently touched his forehead; there was a small bump above his brow. She had asked Qin Ye and heard that Dark Moon Leopards had a red gem between their brows. Actually, this was the energy they had accumulated since they were young.

Right now, she can only feel the bumps; she can't see anything else.

Well, looking at the other three little animal cubs, Ruan Xiyue's heart was almost melting with cuteness.

[Dodo, will every time I take pain-relieving childbirth pills, my baby be born in animal form?]
