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

The Holy Mother narrowed her eyes, a flash of jealousy and malice in them.

Luo Qizhao's burn area was too large, and Ruan Xiyue was sweating profusely while treating him. In addition, she was not familiar with superpowers at all, and she relied entirely on instinct to mobilize her superpowers. She did not know how to treat the largest area with the least amount of force.

Moreover, she didn't know how to control her powers smoothly. One area was healed, but another area was only treated superficially, and the burns under the skin were still clearly visible. She had to treat that area again.

This caused her to break out in a sweat, and she had only managed to treat half of her injuries.

"Is Xi Yue's ability a Blue-Rank ability? I've never seen her use it before."

"I don't know. Could it be that my ability level was too low before, so I didn't use it much?"

"No wonder Qin Ye recovered from his injury so quickly last time!"

"I've never seen a female with healing abilities before. I've heard that the shamans of large tribes have females or males with healing powers."

Amidst the murmurs and discussions among the orcs, Ruan Xiyue healed Luo Qizhao's injuries completely.

However, Luo Qizhao showed no joy; instead, the worry on his face became even more pronounced.

The Holy Female scoffed, walked up to Luo Qizhao, and said arrogantly, "You are the chieftain of this tribe, aren't you?"

Luo Qizhao held Luo Yurou's arm tightly and bowed to the Holy Mother, saying, "Yes, Holy Mother. I am the chieftain of this tribe."

“Then remember to tell them not to do anything foolish. Assassinating me, or dying themselves, or running away... will all bring disaster to your entire tribe, understand?” The Holy Mother said to Luo Qizhao with disdain.

Luo Qizhao pursed his lips, still bowing, and stammered in agreement.

The Holy Maiden left, going to the most lavish and comfortable animal den in the tribe.

Qin Ye then stood up, lowered his eyes, and walked towards Ruan Xiyue.

As a burly, red-haired male member of the guard passed by Ruan Xiyue, he whispered, "Our captain asked me to tell you to be careful, keep a low profile, and protect yourself."

Ruan Xiyue frowned slightly, not understanding what the other person specifically meant. But if he meant well, she would remember this kindness.

Qin Ye watched the male guard walk away before pulling Ruan Xiyue back.

Ruan Xiyue wanted to say a few words of comfort to Qin Ye, but she didn't know what to say.

Qin Ye said in a low voice, "I'm sorry for making you worry."

Ruan Xiyue shook her head and said, "It's not your fault, you don't need to apologize."

Qin Ye smiled and asked, "Have you been waiting long today? Are you hungry? I'll make you your favorite sweet and sour pork."

Ruan Xiyue raised her profile and nodded with a smile.

No one continued the topic of the Holy Mother. However, this wasn't something that could be easily forgotten simply by avoiding the mention of it.

After dinner, Ruan Xiyue teased the four little creatures on the animal skin rug, coaxing them to transform into babies so they could roll over. The little cubs were "clever" and believed their mother, transforming into human babies. However, because their limbs weren't fully developed, they struggled, their little faces turning red, and they still couldn't roll over.

So the little guys gave up, reverted to their beast forms, and panted heavily with their little mouths open.

Ruan Xiyue was having a great time playing with the cubs, but Luo Yurou came to the door with red eyes.

Qin Ye carried the child to the special room built for the cubs, so as not to disturb the two little females from talking.

"I'm sorry..." Luo Yurou hadn't said more than a few words when her lips trembled and tears began to fall.

Ruan Xiyue took a deep breath and said, "What's wrong? One by one, you're all apologizing to me for things that aren't your fault. Do you have some kind of scapegoat fetish?"

Luo Yurou was already feeling incredibly wronged. Her father had been publicly humiliated in his own tribe. They couldn't even protect the beastmen in their own territory. Luo Yurou had finally become friends with Ruan Xiyue, but now her best friend was being bullied right on their doorstep, and she couldn't even protect her.

But Ruan Xiyue acted like nothing was wrong... This isn't right!

Luo Yurou suddenly tensed up and said, "You and Brother Qin Ye aren't planning to cause trouble for the Holy Mother, are you?"

Ruan Xiyue countered, "What would happen if we caused her trouble?"

Luo Yurou looked worried, but she managed to say with difficulty, "I'm sorry, I can't let you cause her trouble."

With composure, Ruan Xiyue asked, "Can you tell me why everyone is so accommodating to the Holy Mother?"

Luo Yurou frowned slightly and asked, "You don't even know what a Holy Female is..." She looked around and said through gritted teeth, "You don't even know what a Holy Female is?"

Ruan Xiyue nodded generously and said, "I don't know!"

Luo Yurou rolled her eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "A holy female is a female whose fertility test results are at a high level or above, such as superior or excellent... Only such females are qualified to take the next test."

Then, at the Holy Mother Conference, those whose special abilities reach at least the Green rank and who can safely give birth to two or more cubs within three years can be called quasi-Holy Mothers. They then must pass another test to become a Holy Mother.

"And then?" Ruan Xiyue was still puzzled. Such complex testing only proves that when a Holy Female mates with a high-ranking male, there's a high probability of producing healthy and excellent offspring, right? So what? Does that mean they can wipe out a tribe?

Luo Yurou frowned and said urgently, "Then such holy females can choose high-ranking males to mate with! They can demand that the tribes under the city of a high-ranking male join forces to wipe out a tribe. It's a piece of cake!"

Ruan Xiyue slapped her forehead and said, "I've been experiencing pregnancy brain for three years now."

[Fake medicine! My IQ has dropped to zero!]

[Dear host, the medicines produced by our system are of the highest quality and safest. Could the host's sudden drop in IQ be due to playing too many mindless games lately?]

Luo Yurou sighed and said, "So..."

Ruan Xiyue sensed that she was about to apologize again, so she waved her hand and said, "If I become a Holy Mother, can I deal with other Holy Mothers?"

Luo Yurou frowned, looking like she didn't want to discourage Ruan Xiyue but had to tell the truth: "Sister, I know you're at the Azure Rank now. But it'll take you at least two years to reach the Green Rank, right?"

Two years from now, Qin Ye's brother will probably be released.

Even if you're still angry then, you still have to wait until the Holy Maiden Test held once every five years. And after you become a prospective Holy Maiden… I don't know what happens after that. Anyway, it seems there's some kind of selection process involved.”

Ruan Xiyue frowned slightly and asked, "So you don't know that it's possible for Holy Females to duel?"

Luo Yurou, like a cat with its fur standing on end, glared at him with her wide eyes and said, "Who said I don't know!"
