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

Qin Ye massaged Ruan Xiyue's shoulders, his magnetic voice sounding behind her: "What's wrong?"

Ruan Xiyue shook her head: "It's nothing serious, just that this year's beast tide season is relatively easy in various places. However, precisely because the wild beasts are less active during the beast tide season, there might not be enough meat reserves for next spring. Hunting in the spring will affect the mating of wild beasts, which will lead to a shortage of meat for the whole year..."

Qin Ye's expression was also somewhat solemn. He nodded, "That's true, but I'm not worried about these things. We didn't overhunt wild animals last year. This suggests that this year's beast tide may have other causes."

"It's very likely that the wild animals aren't coming out to find food during the peak season due to earthquakes, tsunamis, and blizzards in various places."

"What I'm worried about is that they survived the winter and will bring another wave of beasts in the spring and summer."

Ruan Xiyue frowned: "I have a feeling that this matter has something to do with Qi. I wonder how Qi and that person are doing in the fight."

Qin Ye reached out and massaged Ruan Xiyue's temples, coaxing her softly, "It's alright, he'll definitely come back safe and sound."

Holding the cub, Jiu Chen reported to Ruan Xiyue: "The sick cubs in Beast City have drunk the minced meat porridge you made with added energy powder and taken the medicine you gave them. They are much better now."

"None of the cubs who are serving as reading companions here have gotten sick. Now, all the tribes are very interested. They have come to me, Qi Heng, Li Miao, and Xiong Meng to ask when you will select reading companions for the cubs again."

Ruan Xiyue waved her hand: "We select them every three to five years, and the next selection won't be for another two years. These cubs are actually more than enough for now."

"If our cubs can all be turned into their loyal subordinates, that would be amazing. Don't bite off more than you can chew."

"Besides, I've already decided that next time I test the ability levels of these cubs, I'll make these tribes understand that leaving their cubs with me is a huge bargain. They might not be able to raise their cubs to such a high level of aptitude if they raised them themselves."

"Then, when I select the second batch of cubs to accompany me, they will reluctantly choose cubs from the descendants of elders in the clan who are talented and have a lot of influence and send them over."

Seeing that Ruan Xiyue looked worried, Xian said, "Niannian and Sisi have already said that Longze Beastman has saved more than seventy dragon beastmen."

"Moreover, they won't force Niannian and Sisi to stay. They are willing to pledge their loyalty to you, but they still need to guard Dragon Island and can't come to Hope Beast City to live."

Ruan Xiyue thought for a moment and said, "When they ask for the healing water, I will make a request that my dragon cubs wait until they are fourteen years old before returning to the dragon clan to learn their innate skills. After they finish learning, they can choose to stay in the dragon clan, return to Hope Beast City, or travel to the Beast God Continent, it is up to them."

Qin Ye looked at Ruan Xiyue: "Alright, you always have so many things to worry about, it's time to rest."

Jiu Chen carried the cub towards the cub enclosure.

Qin Ye also picked Ruan Xiyue up from the chair.

“In a few days, Jiu Chen and I will be changing shifts. When the beast tide season ends, my brother will be heading back.”

Next May, all tribes and beast cities will hold the new Beast King Ceremony in Hope Beast City.

Almost all the tribes and beast cities agreed.

"Finally, all that's left is Qi. If he can come back safe and sound, our whole family will be complete."

Ruan Xiyue leaned against Qin Ye's firm chest muscles, unconsciously poking his large double doors with her fingers.

"Yes, I'll continue having babies after he comes back. I'm planning to stop having babies soon."

Qin Ye kissed Ruan Xiyue's forehead: "Okay, you should have taken better care of yourself a long time ago. Life isn't about being busy. I want to see you get up lazily and then do nothing."

"Instead of spinning like a top every day, even when sitting there, your mind is constantly thinking about things."

Just as Ruan Xiyue was about to open her mouth, Qin Ye changed from carrying her in a princess carry to embracing her face-to-face while supporting her bottom.

Startled, Ruan Xiyue cried out, and Qin Ye quickly carried her into her bedroom.

While kissing Ruan Xiyue, Qin Ye gently bit her lip: "Jiu Chen and I will try our best to let you rest well these two days, we won't have time for anything else."

Before Ruan Xiyue could ask a question, Jiu Chen, slightly out of breath, quickly walked into the room and closed the door.

Since Ruan Xiyue took the birth control pill, her healing abilities, combined with the ritualistic prayers and dances to treat injured beastmen, have been able to be fully utilized.

Uninjured orcs can also benefit from the plaza outside the orc city, where their chronic ailments can be healed to some extent.

As the last snowflakes melted from sight, the earth began to be covered with tender green life.

Ruan Xiyue looked at the lists of those who had passed the entrance examinations for the Planting Academy and the Craftsman Academy, then at the lists for the Witch Doctor Academy and the Priest Academy, and frowned slightly.

Xia Weier asked through the earring, "Are there more cubs from the larger clans?"

Ruan Xiyue sighed, "I thought they would reserve at least 40% of the spots for small and medium-sized tribes, but in the end, only 20% were reserved for them."

Xia Weier was silent for a moment: "I know your philosophy, but the living environment of small and medium-sized tribes is indeed not good, and it is not possible to raise cubs with great qualifications and potential."

"Don't rush. We'll aim for 20% this year and 30% next year. Let's take it slow."

Ruan Xiyue nodded and gave a soft "hmm".

Just as Ruan Xiyue was about to continue the conversation with Xia Weier on another topic, the sky suddenly turned orange-red.

It was as if someone had lit a fire at the top of the sky.

Then, the western red rising from the horizon spread out rapidly, like the tide, little by little.

Ruan Xiyue's heart skipped a beat.

She felt the ring's connection; all her beast husbands had a pair of earrings that allowed them to communicate with her, and a ring that could locate their positions.

She couldn't sense Qi before, but now she can.

problem occurs?

Ruan Xiyue asked Xia Weier nervously, "Has the sky changed color over there?"

Xia Wei'er quickly replied, "It changed color."

Ruan Xiyue then contacted Long Ze, whose situation was more serious.

Because Dragon Island is surrounded by the sea, it is now constantly being battered by tsunamis. The sea appears to the dragons as if someone has put seawater in a container and shaken it violently, causing waves as high as the city walls of beasts to rise and crash against them.

Ruan Xiyue was instantly embraced by a wet, blood-stained embrace.

The once clear and handsome young voice was now filled with weakness: "Wife, I won."

Ruan Xiyue's vision blurred and she disappeared on the spot, almost losing her balance due to the pressure from Qi lying on top of her.

When Ruan Xiyue saw Qi's face clearly, tears streamed down her face.

Qi Jianmei's fair muscles were covered in bloodstains and numerous wounds of varying sizes.

There was also a ruptured, penetrating wound not far from the heart.

Without saying a word, Ruan Xiyue used her healing ability and gave Qi a handful of healing pills.

She also stuffed handfuls of top-grade energy pills into Qi's mouth.

Duoduo checked Qi's vital signs: [Host, the Beast God is slowly healing and should be fine. You should try putting the Beast God into the transparent seawater tank he prepared for the cubs.]

Ruan Xiyue was puzzled, but at this juncture, she had no interest in raising any questions.

She immediately asked Ruan E to help her put Qi into the seawater.

Qi's injuries are finally healing at a speed that is now visible to the naked eye.

Ruan Xiyue didn't know how long she had been busy until Xia Weier and Long Ze kept trying to contact her using the earring, and she finally got through to them.

She only told them that Qi had been seriously injured.

The Holy City, the Priest's Court, and the Witch Doctor's Hospital immediately spread the word, instructing all orcs to prepare for the spring beast tide.

When Qi woke up, his reddish-purple pupils shone even brighter.

He asked softly, "How long has it been?"

Ruan Xiyue brushed a strand of white hair that had grown out of her bangs: "Eight months have passed, and the winter beast tide season is just around the corner."

Qi gave a weak smile: "You've been by my side the whole time, won't they be jealous?"

Ruan Xiyue rolled her eyes at Qi with annoyance: "If something happens to you, the whole world might be wiped out. In a life-or-death situation, who cares about being jealous!"

Qi kissed Ruan Xiyue's forehead: "I made it through, let's go home?"

Ruan Xiyue frowned slightly: "Won't leaving the underwater temple affect your recovery?"

Qi waved his hand, propped his cheek on his hand, and looked weakly at Ruan Xiyue: "It's just a little bit of an impact, nothing to worry about."

At this moment, a door opened beside the seashell bed, and Ruan E crossed her arms, her fishtail both impatient and excited: "Father, you're too weak, you actually needed to be unconscious for so long. Mother cried so terribly at first."

Qi gently pinched Ruan Xiyue's cheek: "I'm sorry."

Ruan Xiyue waved her hand: "You've been risking your life outside, why are you apologizing to me when you're injured? It makes me feel guilty about how I've always treated you. It breaks my heart."

Qi's fair lips curved into a smile: "I just want you to like me the most."

Ruan Xiyue nodded: "I love it! I love it so much!"

Qi put his arm around Ruan Xiyue's waist, ignoring the food Ruan E had placed on the table, and took Ruan Xiyue directly back to her room in Hope Beast City.

Ruan Xiyue was startled when she saw the room full of slightly haggard-looking beasts.

"Alright, alright, my darling beast husbands, I'm back!"

All the beastmen looked at Ruan Xiyue, whom they hadn't seen for more than eight months, and couldn't help but reach out their hands.

Ruan Xiyue smiled and paused for a moment, but it was no problem. She would continue to be a master of balancing things and continue to live her life shamelessly with her beautiful husbands who couldn't take care of themselves without her.
