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

"Then tell me!" Ruan Xiyue was truly speechless.

Luo Yurou frowned and pondered deeply. After thinking for a long time, Ruan Xiyue was about to lie down and take a nap when Luo Yurou clapped her hands and said, "I remember! You can ask the people in Beast City! They know!"

I remember once two holy maidens got into a huge fight over a male, and I later heard they ended up dueling! Or, you could ask the Deer Clan! One of those dueling holy maidens was from the Deer Clan!

Ruan Xiyue nodded, and then heard Luo Yurou say seriously, "If you really intend to duel the Holy Female, you must also take care of the tribes under her control."

Ruan Xiyue nodded and said, "Don't worry, I definitely know how to eradicate evil completely..." Seeing Luo Yurou's confused look, Ruan Xiyue changed her words, "It's the principle of cutting weeds and pulling them out by the roots."

Luo Yurou nodded and said, "What you said makes a lot of sense. You have to nip it in the bud!"

Having gotten the answer she wanted, Ruan Xiyue said to Luo Yurou, "You should go back now! Don't worry, I won't bring any disaster to the tribe! And if she really insists on taking Qin Ye away, I will bring him back."

Luo Yurou stood up and sat down again, frowning as she said, "I'm just worried about Brother Qin Ye. He has a very reserved temper; he's the type who doesn't say a word until he gets angry... Could you please persuade him not to kill that mentally ill Holy Female?"

Ruan Xiyue rolled her eyes at Luo Yurou and said, "What do you mean 'helping you persuade'! That's my beast husband! Go away, go back!"

After chasing Luo Yurou away, Ruan Xiyue called Qin Ye back into the house.

However, Ruan Xiyue did not try to persuade Qin Ye. Instead, she knelt on the animal skin cushion and asked Qin Ye to hug her.

Qin Ye couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Anyone who didn't know better would think I've raised another little female cub!"

"So, are you going to hug me or not?"

Qin Ye nodded, opened his arms and said, "Hug! Hug! Hug! Who else can I hug if not my little female?"

Ruan Xiyue was unusually enthusiastic that night. Qin Ye fed the cub twice, and after he finished feeding it, Ruan Xiyue pulled him onto the animal skin rug.

As dawn broke, Qin Ye brought the baby over to finish breastfeeding. Ruan Xiyue popped a multiple birth pill into her mouth and asked Duo Duo, "After giving birth to this baby, will I receive another reward—an ability upgrade?"

Duoduo says: "Rewards are beyond Duoduo's control, but if the host has a strong desire for them, Duoduo can apply for them on your behalf."

Ruan Xiyue nodded and then fell into a deep sleep.

Qin Ye returned to the room, looked at the sleeping Ruan Xiyue, gently placed Ruan Xiyue's head in the crook of his arm, and then hugged Ruan Xiyue and fell asleep together.

These past two days, Qin Ye hasn't gone hunting either, but has stayed by Ruan Xiyue's side, cooking for her and watching her play with the baby.

On the eve of the Holy Mother's departure, Ruan Xiyue held Qin Ye's face in her hands and said, "Don't do anything foolish. Take care of yourself. I know you might suffer. But wait for me. Believe me, I will go to Beast City as soon as possible and bring you back! I will make her pay!"

Ruan Xiyue kissed Qin Ye's forehead.

Qin Ye said in a low voice, "I should have chosen a second beast husband for you sooner. I'm really sorry."

Ruan Xiyue ruffled Qin Ye's hair and kissed his cheek, saying, "Don't say that. I didn't allow it back then. Do you like the names Qin Ming and Qin Ying?"

I've been waiting for you to name them, but you still haven't come up with anything decent. I've decided on names based on their coat color. You must take good care of yourself; they'll both be waiting for their father. Don't do anything foolish, unless you can do it very cleanly.”

Qin Ye's lips curled into a wider smile as he kissed the top of Ruan Xiyue's head and said, "Don't worry."

Ruan Xiyue didn't know what Qin Ye had Qin Yue do these past few days, but she saw Qin Ye and Qin Yue talking several times.

The following day, Ruan Xiyue went to see Qin Ye off in a very open and generous manner.

The Holy Female said arrogantly to Qin Ye, "I don't like the way you and your females are together. You'd better separate before I lose my temper!"

Ruan Xiyue felt her aversion to stupidity was about to flare up. Although the Cheetah Clan wasn't far from Beast City, there was still a distance, wasn't there?

Yes, if the Cheetah Tribe intervened and the Holy Maiden died, the people of Beast City would inevitably hold the Cheetah Tribe accountable. But is it possible that the Cheetah Tribe didn't intervene, and that they themselves produced a Holy Maiden?

Furthermore, having gone through countless hardships in her previous life, Ruan Xiyue was already extremely perceptive of people's malice.

When that holy woman saw her use her skill, her expression was so venomous. Did she think she was blind, or that she was some kind of magnanimous orc?

Stop it.

When Ruan Xiyue got so calculating, Qin Ye felt awkward and didn't dare to say a word. Had they never heard of the phrase "vengeful" in the Beast World?

It's not that we can't let them experience how terrible petty and narrow-minded females can be.

Ruan Xiyue hugged Qin Ye's waist, only feeling somewhat relieved after confirming he had taken the dagger she had given him. If Duoduo hadn't forcefully persuaded Ruan Xiyue, she would have been a ghost if she hadn't conjured up one sulfur, two nitrates, and three carbons with her bare hands! She'd let them experience the passion of modern chemistry.

Seeing that neither Ruan Xiyue nor Qin Ye paid her any attention, the Holy Female's face twisted into a sneer as she mocked, "It's always like this from the beginning! I just love other people's loyal and devoted husbands. That way, when he abandons you, you'll realize how much of a joke you are today!"

Ruan Xiyue didn't even bother to mock her. What competition? No, no, no, if you don't like someone, just kill them. What competition?

Luo Qizhao seemed oblivious, perhaps too slow to notice anything, and continued to respectfully bid farewell to the Holy Mother.

Male warriors from the lion, deer, and hyena tribes also set off with the escort team.

Although Cong Xian and Wen Zhuzhe hadn't come to see Ruan Xiyue for the past few days, they still turned back to look at her the moment they left.

Her smile was so quiet and composed, as if she weren't the one whose beastly husband had been stolen.

Looking back at the Holy Female riding on Qin Ye's back, Cong Xian felt that pursuing such a female seemed to offer no hope of happiness for the rest of her life.

The Holy Mother turned to look at Ruan Xiyue, who was standing at the entrance of the tribe, and scoffed.

Ruan Xiyue seemed to understand. Everyone had seen through each other's schemes. Perhaps this holy woman was well aware that she was provoking the discontent of an entire tribe. Yet, she still did it. Perhaps her ambitions were even greater?

If she is the beast-husband of the Holy Mother, why would she help a Holy Mother she almost never sees? For the cubs? Or something else? Wealth and power?

If the Cheetah Tribe collapses, where will these tribespeople be sent? Sold off as the cheapest enslaved orcs? There must be some vested interest she's unaware of.

It's alright, let's see who's better!
