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

Despite his thoughts, Long Ze still picked the energy fruit beside the trembling beast that dared not move. Looking at the beast that had caught its breath, he thought for a moment, then unleashed a wind blade. The beast's little hooves kicked uncontrollably; its soul had already been wandering for a while.

Long Ze put the beast's carcass into his spatial bag and then headed to the next location.

It wasn't until the second day that Longze found three energy fruits that satisfied him.

He was overjoyed to return to Ruan Xiyue's stone house from the back of the mountain, but he sensed the presence of living people inside.

Long Ze took a step forward and appeared behind Luo Yurou.

"You really didn't go to see Qin Ye yesterday?" Luo Yurou didn't believe it.

Ruan Xiyue shrugged and said, "Alright then, I went, and I even killed the Holy Mother. I originally wanted to rescue Aye. But my second beastman told me that if I did that, it wouldn't be helping him, but would bring trouble to the tribe. So I ran away. Do you think they won't hurt Aye if I leave him with the wandering beastmen?"

Luo Yurou rolled her eyes and suddenly felt like someone was behind her, but when she turned around, there was no one there.

So Luo Yurou didn't take it to heart and said, "Alright, alright! I believe what you said before, you didn't go to see Qin Ye, right?"

Luo Yurou stared worriedly at Ruan Xiyue's belly and said, "Even if you're participating in the Holy Female Assembly, you shouldn't be pregnant with babies all at once! It's not good for you or the baby."

"Sigh—you've got a bad reputation because your mother passed away when you came of age, and she couldn't tell you these things." Luo Yurou grumbled discontentedly, "Why didn't the Qin family's beast mother tell you either?"

Ruan Xiyue shrugged: "Perhaps no one expected that I would get pregnant."

Luo Yurou choked for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "That's true. Even if it's easier to get pregnant after giving birth, females with low fertility generally won't be able to conceive again... Wait a minute! You have healing abilities! A Blue-Rank healing ability, how could you still have low fertility?"

Luo Yurou waved her hand and said, "Forget it! You're already pregnant, there's no point in saying this. But after you give birth this time, you really need to rest! Otherwise, not only will the baby's health deteriorate, but your body will also be ruined! You should at least wait six months between pregnancies before getting pregnant again! Understand?"

Ruan Xiyue nodded, picked up the meat wrapped in zongzi that Luo Yurou had brought her, and said while eating, "It's okay, anyway, I'm working hard to upgrade my superpower, so my body will have a good appetite and be in great shape!"

Luo Yurou became even more worried and said, "Can you still eat? You've eaten five meat-filled rice dumplings since I arrived!"

Ruan Xiyue shook her head and said, "I don't know why, but I'm just so hungry."

Luo Yurou frowned and said, "Where's your second husband? He's not even home to take care of you! Honestly!"

Ruan Xiyue was about to say that he had been standing behind you, and his eyes were practically murderous as if he thought you were an intruder. If I hadn't glanced at him, he would have gone to the next room, and you might still be alive!

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Didn't I say he has to go hunting? Otherwise, he'll just stay home and stare at me as I starve to death?"

Luo Yurou rolled her eyes at Ruan Xiyue and said, "You're really sarcastic! Fine! I'm going back. I'll go find out about Qin Ye for you. Don't worry too much. Once you become a Holy Female, you'll still have a chance to get him back."

Ruan Xiyue nodded and said, "Now that I've become a Holy Mother, I'll make those forces behind that Holy Mother who's eyeing him die."

Luo Yurou rubbed Ruan Xiyue's head and said, "Look, you keep having babies, have you gone silly? That's a good point, don't say it again next time."

Ruan Xiyue rolled her eyes in a very inelegant way and said, "You don't believe me when I tell the truth, so you just love being lied to! Don't come next time unless you bring something delicious. But you don't have to bring your mouth."

Luo Yurou chuckled softly, "Ha—" then made an exaggerated face and said, "I killed Sheng Chi (speech unclear due to exaggerated expression)—not wanting to cause trouble for Bu Nuo—so I ran away—I became Sheng Chi—and I want them all to use—"

"Oh yes, yes, yes! You're telling the truth! Okay? I'm leaving now, you can lie down and rest!" After saying that, Luo Yurou took two steps, then came back and ruffled Ruan Xiyue's hair before leaving the stone house.

Ruan Xiyue took a deep breath, glanced at the air, and continued to munch on the meat-filled zongzi.

The four little ones around Ruan Xiyue were nudging and squirming, perhaps because they were hungry. Ruan Xiyue swallowed the food in her mouth and then said, "Wait a little longer! If your mother isn't full, you won't be either."

【Duoduo, I'm so hungry! Will taking a health supplement fill me up?】

Duoduo sensed that Longze had come to Ruan Xiyue's bedside. He took out three high-grade energy fruits and handed them to Ruan Xiyue.

[Quick! Eat this fruit! And protect that root! We'll grow our own when you upgrade your space! Harvest it now! Harvest it now!]

Ruan Xiyue looked at the fruit that Long Ze handed her, a bunch of purplish-black Kyoho grapes, but each one was bigger than a grape.

A bunch of twelve apricots, each a large, purplish-black fruit.

There are also two other trees: one with fruit exactly like a loquat, and the other with three lychee trees the size of a custard apple.

Ruan Xiyue asked curiously, "Are they all for me?"

Long Ze nodded: "Mm."

Ruan Xiyue thought for a moment, then picked up the bunch of large, purplish-black grapes, broke off the fruit, and put the entire plant into her spatial storage. She did the same to the other two plants, and then noticed that Long Ze had taken out more than a dozen other plants with less abundant energy.

"If you like it, I'll go find it again tomorrow."

Ruan Xiyue shook her head and said, "No need, this is enough for now."

Ruan Xiyue popped a large grape into her mouth, and it really tasted delicious, just like the Kyoho grape—sweet and sour, not cloyingly sweet, and not too sour. Everything was just right.

Just as Ruan Xiyue was about to spit out the seeds, she asked Duoduo, "Are the seeds useful? Can we grow more of them?"

Duo Duo thought for a moment and said, "Then you might need to buy Breath Soil; that should be able to grow it."

Ruan Xiyue nodded and put the seeds into her space as well.

Seeing that Ruan Xiyue was eating and seemed to be in good spirits, Long Ze put on his hood and went to cook.

As Ruan Xiyue ate, she picked all the fruit and gave the stems to Duoduo for preservation. Because Ruan Xiyue's space-time wasn't static, it couldn't keep the food fresh.

Ruan Xiyue handed the remaining fruit to Duoduo, saying, "You keep it fresh for me, but you're not allowed to eat any!"
