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

Long Ze suddenly asked Ruan Xiyue, "If they plan to go to Beast City tomorrow, will it affect your plans?"

Ruan Xiyue was puzzled.

Long Ze pointed in the direction of the Qin family's beast cave and said, "The Qin family's beast mother plans to take her four beast husbands to the beast city tomorrow to cause trouble for her elder sister. She wants to challenge her elder sister to a duel."

Ruan Xiyue pursed her lips and asked, "Wouldn't this expose that you used to be a wandering beastman?"

Long Ze nodded and said, "Her older sister is a woman; if she can't get something, she'll destroy it with the utmost malice. Besides, her older sister is very clever."

"Does she have any weaknesses?"

"Yes, she loves her own cubs very much."

Seeing that Ruan Xiyue was about to speak, Long Ze immediately covered her mouth and said, "Don't say anything bad, or the Beast God will punish you."

"She'll make a scene, causing a huge uproar, and make the Qin family's beast mother leave in disgrace. Then I'll go and take her cub away. I'll make her admit that I'm not her cub, but someone she placed in her home to foster. I'll make her find a way to find the witch doctor from back then and say that she never banished me. Otherwise, she'll never see her cub again. She'll do it."

“If it weren’t for her cubs, she would have told the guards that I was a wandering orc she had banished. In fact… perhaps she already has.”

Ruan Xiyue said, "Then we can't let the Qin family's beast mother find you. When the guards come looking for you on this pretext, we'll say that you were taken in by the Qin family's mother's older sister because you were weak and the conditions in Beast City were good. After you grew up, she had improper intentions towards you, but you refused. You ran away in fear. So she can't have you and is slandering you."

No matter how calm Long Ze was, he never considered how to respond to Ruan Xiyue's vicious scheme.

He opened his mouth slightly, and Ruan Xiyue asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"If this charge is proven true, she might be expelled from Beast City by her beast husband."

"Oh, what does that have to do with me? She hurt a male I care about, so I wish she were dead. If you care..."

Long Ze shook his head, a smile playing on his lips, and said, "I really liked the way you said those domineering things just now. You fascinate me so much, little female."

"Then—call me 'wife' and let me hear it."

"Wife."

Ruan Xiyue loved hearing Long Ze call her "wife" in his sexy, low voice. Suddenly, with a "pop," black, furry ears appeared on her head.

Long Ze chuckled softly, his slender fingers gently touching Ruan Xiyue's soft, still-warm ear.

Ruan Xiyue asked, blushing, "Are they done arguing? I'm going to tell them my wicked plan. It's one thing that I didn't take good care of you when you were little, but it's wrong of me to ruin my plans now."

Long Ze frowned slightly, but Ruan Xiyue rolled off the bed and said, "I've never said I'm a good female. It's good for them to have a clear understanding. I don't like hearing things that make me unhappy. If they can stop showing me that disgusting expression because of this, I actually really want to get along well with A-Ye and your family."

Long Ze knew that in the first few days after he and Ruan Xiyue got married, Ruan Xiyue was actually somewhat unhappy with the Qin family. She didn't tell the Qin family what she had done, leading them to mistakenly believe that Ruan Xiyue had forgotten about Qin Ye as soon as she turned her back on him. Although she felt she bore some responsibility, she didn't think much of it.

If she didn't like Qin Ye, would she have just given him such expensive medicine without a second thought?

Human nature is like this: once you get something, you don't appreciate it as much; you just keep thinking about wanting more.

Ruan Xiyue went directly to the Qin family's beast cave and said to the Qin family's beast mother, "I don't want you to go to the beast city to find your sister tomorrow. She has probably already told the guards that Long Ze is a wandering beastman. The guards will definitely come to verify this next spring. I won't let her succeed. Moreover, I will make her wish she were dead."

"But I won't tell you the specifics of how to do it right now. Because I don't trust you."

The people in the Qin family's beast cave had never seen Ruan Xiyue speak like this before, and they were all very astonished.

Ruan Xiyue smiled politely, but said the most hurtful words: "I don't know the weight your older sister, who you've known since childhood, holds in your heart, or in your beastly husband's heart."

After Ruan Xiyue finished speaking, Qin family mother's four beast husbands frowned, especially Qin Ye's father, who looked at Ruan Xiyue with a fierce glint in his eyes.

Long Ze unleashed the pressure of a Red-Rank power directly upon Qin Ye's father, causing him to be instantly filled with terror and disbelief. Perhaps he hadn't expected his own bloodline to issue a warning to his own father. Moreover, he sensed killing intent. If he continued to look at Xi Yue any longer, his own child would want to kill him.

Ruan Xiyue took Long Ze's large hand, gently patted the back of his hand, and continued, "So, I won't tell you exactly what I'm going to do. Just like—when I went to rescue Qin Ye. I don't know who will come out and ruin my plans, so I won't tell anyone else about my plans."

After Ruan Xiyue finished speaking, she looked at the Qin family's beast mother with a smile and asked, "So, can you promise me that you won't go looking for them for the time being?"

What everyone saw behind Ruan Xiyue's smiling face was absolute coldness. And although her question seemed to leave something unsaid—the last shred of dignity left for everyone to maintain their relationship. If they didn't do as Ruan Xiyue said, she might do something that would upset everyone.

So, the gentle-natured Ruan Xiyue they thought she was actually like this...?

The Qin family's beast mother nodded and asked, "You're sure you'll make her wish she were dead, right? And it will last a long time, right?"

Ruan Xiyue's smile faded as she sized up the Qin family's beast mother. The light in her eyes was urgent and genuine. But so what? Before any cooperation is fully finalized, if someone finds out even the slightest clue about you, you could lose everything.

Ruan Xiyue didn't answer Qin Family's "beast mother's" question because she wasn't sure what Qin Family's father, who had hurt Long Ze the most, was thinking. What if he felt that not having Long Ze was best for their family and for him? Then he wouldn't have to constantly remind him of his foolishness and selfishness, and wouldn't do things that harmed others without benefiting himself?

In this world, it's actually easier to guard against smart people. If you can guess what they want, you can outsmart them.

But often, those who do bad things are incredibly stupid in every way imaginable. Because you can't guard against their endless stream of foolish tricks.

Ruan Xiyue said, "Next, I need everyone's cooperation. I will have Qin Ye take Long Ze out for a walk so that everyone can see that they look exactly alike. Then, someone will definitely ask, why do Qin Ye and Long Ze look exactly the same?"
