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

[Yes, host. Because the cub is too big in your womb, the energy from the pain-relieving delivery pill can help the cub transform into its beast form, which will make childbirth easier, dear.]

Ruan Xiyue blinked and asked, "[Then does that mean if I just take the pain-free childbirth pill, the baby I give birth to will have good aptitude? After all, isn't it said that the earlier one can transform into human form, the better their aptitude?]"

Duoduo rolled her eyes and did a somersault in Ruan Xiyue's mind. Don't ask Ruan Xiyue how she knew; she just sensed it.

[Dear Host, no matter how many pain-relieving pills you take, the offspring you have with a white-tier or purple-tier beast mate will always have poor aptitude. They might even be born in beast form and never be able to transform into human form again, Host.]

Ruan Xiyue understood.

Just then, there was some noise outside, but Ruan Xiyue, though curious, didn't pay any attention. She was happily playing with the soft, cuddly baby in her arms!

Duo Duo watched as Ruan Xiyue would poke the cub's little paws, then poke its mouth, then hold down its tail while it crawled, making it whimper, then turn it over so the cub couldn't roll over no matter how hard it tried...

Duo Duo finally couldn't hold back any longer: [Honorable host, if you're bored, you can go outside! Treating the cub like this will make it spit up! There's something exciting outside! Your beast mate has caught the eye of the Holy Female!]

Ruan Xiyue's smirk instantly vanished. After consuming the Snow Skin Pill and Beauty Pill, she regretted not taking them immediately after giving birth. Annoyed, she vented her anger on Duoduo: "Was that all the commotion outside just now? Why didn't you remind me immediately?"

Duo Duo choked for a moment, then said, "Didn't you say you didn't want to be exposed to drafts and needed to be in postpartum confinement?"

[Sophistry! Didn't you say I fully recovered after taking the nursing and rehabilitation pills?!]

Duoduo has logged off. Sensing its host's fury, it knew it was best to remain silent. Even though it was a system, it didn't like being scolded! Let the host scold that Holy Mother! If the Holy Mother is scolded, then it can't scold Tongtong, okay?

Ruan Xiyue wore a high-necked black animal skin vest with a fitted waist, paired with a khaki knee-length skirt and black animal skin elf boots. This entire outfit was specially made for her by Qin Ye.

Ruan Xiyue carried the four cubs to the beast cave and handed them over to Qin's mother. Then, she used her wind power to run towards the entrance of the tribe.

The Holy Mother, standing at 1.78 meters tall with a fit and sallow complexion, raised her chin as she looked at Qin Ye with an air of bestowing a favor, and said, "Don't you know that the Holy Mother's requests cannot be refused?"

Qin Ye looked at her coldly and said, "My partner is breastfeeding, and I am her only beast husband. It is impossible for me to escort you to Beast City at this time."

The Holy Mother raised an eyebrow and said, "Why don't we just find her another partner?"

Ruan Xiyue narrowed her eyes, walked through the crowd towards Qin Ye, and called out sweetly, "Ah Ye—"

Then, Ruan Xiyue rushed into Qin Ye's arms like a swallow returning to its nest.

Qin Ye's lips curled up uncontrollably, and his narrow phoenix eyes softened instantly. He looked intently at Ruan Xiyue, pulled her onto his arm, and said, "Why did you run out? Weren't you afraid of the wind?"

With that, Qin Ye carried Ruan Xiyue home in one arm.

"Stop!" The Holy Priestess was furious. Her face contorted with rage as she roared, "It's an honor that I've taken a liking to you! I am the Holy Priestess! Do you even know what a Holy Priestess is?"

Qin Ye stopped in his tracks, slowly turned his head, and his ruby-like eyes were filled with murderous intent.

The chieftain rushed out of the beast den, laughing and calling out, "Holy Mother! Holy Mother! The males of our tribe have never seen anything like this! We beg the Holy Mother to be magnanimous and forgive their ignorance!"

The Holy Female was about to lash out at Qin Ye for daring to take another step when she heard the Cheetah Clan Chief shout, "Qin Ye! Don't be so rude next time! Go back now!"

Qin Ye had only taken two steps when the Holy Female roared, "Who gave him permission to leave? Who do you think you are! Can't you see that I made him take me to the Beast City? Are all the people in your tribe blind or deaf?!"

Luo Qizhao's face flushed red, but he still forced a smile and said to the Holy Mother, "Holy Mother, you see..."

The Holy Mother directly addressed Luo Qizhao, saying, "Get out of my way!"

Ruan Xiyue clenched her fists.

Luo Qizhao stepped aside, still smiling, and said, "Qin Ye does indeed need to keep his female company..."

"What does his female matter!" The Holy Female walked over arrogantly and said to Qin Ye, "Kneel down!"

Ruan Xiyue jumped down, bracing herself on Qin Ye's shoulder, but Qin Ye grabbed her wrist and pulled her back behind him.

Qin Ye slowly knelt on one knee, his head bowed.

The Holy Mother glanced at Qin Ye before turning to Ruan Xiyue and saying, "I'll bestow upon you a companion!"

The Holy Maiden turned her head and looked through the crowd for a long time before pointing to a guard with a missing arm and saying, "You're the one! What's your rank?"

The man's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Holy Mother! I've reached the Yellow Rank!"

The Holy Maiden crossed her arms and arrogantly said to Ruan Xiyue, "I'll take your beast husband away and give you another beast husband of the same Yellow Rank as compensation. Is that alright?"

Ruan Xiyue retorted sharply, "Are you sick in the head? Your brain isn't fully developed, and your cerebellum is still wrapped around the placenta, making a fool of yourself? If you have a neurological problem, go see a witch doctor. Do I look like your mother? You expect me to spoil you, don't you?"

Ruan Xiyue asked Duoduo in her mind: "What rank is this brain-dead thing in front of me?"

"Orange rank, my esteemed host." Duo Duo's voice became much more solemn.

Those around Ruan Xiyue who heard her speak gasped. They had never heard such an insult before.

The Holy Maiden chuckled and said, "I'll let it slide because you're female."

“You,” the Holy Mother pointed at Qin Ye and said, “come with me in three days. Otherwise, you should know what kind of annihilation you will bring to your tribe if I arrive in Beast City.”

Luo Yurou walked over at this moment, pointed at the Holy Female and said, "What? You've never seen a male before, have you? You just love staring at other people's males? Why did you let Brother Qin Ye go to Beast City with you? How come you didn't die on the way? Others rescued you, and you turn around and shamelessly beg for mates from males in other tribes who already have partners, is that it?"

"You dare call yourself a holy woman? You've disgraced all women..."

The Holy Mother unleashed a burst of flame, and the clan leader swiftly stepped in front of Luo Yurou. Luo Qizhao's left shoulder and back were instantly covered in burns.

Ruan Xiyue rushed over and used her Azure-level healing ability to heal the clan leader.

When Ruan Xiyue's palm emitted a bluish-green light, even the captain of the guards sent to escort the Holy Maiden widened his eyes.
