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

As Ruan Xiyue spoke, she fell asleep on Qin Ye's shoulder. Qin Ye couldn't help but chuckle softly, pulling her closer with one arm and gently stroking her head with the other. He remembered that when she came back yesterday, the bump on the right side of her head was quite large. Fortunately, it had subsided, and she no longer had a fever.

Back in the beast cave, the Qin family beast mother saw her male cub and Ruan Xiyue in such an intimate manner. She was about to ask a few questions with a smile when she saw Qin Ye put a finger to his lips.

The other three beast husbands of the Qin family's beast mother were all very happy, but Qin Ye's father was somewhat worried.

The Qin family's beast mother was somewhat displeased and said, "Why are you looking so downcast? Although it was a bit rushed, what if it's really as Xi Yue said? Some females can easily get pregnant during that period."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ye's father quickly shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about their rapid formation of a partnership. In my opinion, that's actually the best thing. What I'm worried about is someone trying to cause trouble."

The Qin family's beast mother pursed her lips, placed her hands on her animal skin skirt, and whispered, "Your clan leader brother shouldn't go too far!"

Qin Ye's father pursed his lips and didn't say another word.

Ruan Xiyue was unaware of these things, but she would soon find out.

Today is the third day since Ruan Xiyue transmigrated to the beast world, and also the last day before her lifespan ends if she doesn't find a mate. She changed into the new leather skirt Qin Ye had prepared for her and grabbed Qin Ye's arm, wanting to go find the witch doctor. If Qin Ye hadn't insisted that she finish eating the minced meat porridge, the carving might already be complete.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Ruan Xiyue finally took Qin Ye's hand and arrived at the Witch Doctor's Cave. The Witch Doctor was quite surprised to learn that they had come to form a bond of love.

"Won't you reconsider?" the witch doctor couldn't help but ask.

Ruan Xiyue shook her head and glanced at Qin Ye, unsure whether he was feigning indifference or genuinely used to it. He seemed completely oblivious to the witch doctor's well-intentioned reminder of Ruan Xiyue's situation, which was also a form of indirect harm to him.

The witch doctor also looked at Qin Ye, sighed, patted Ruan Xiyue's hand, and said, "Then I'll go prepare the things."

Ruan Xiyue nodded and quickly thanked her.

"Are you really not going to consider it anymore?" Qin Ye asked, tilting his head slightly as the witch doctor left.

Ruan Xiyue pouted slightly, pretending to think, and said, "Hmm—maybe I should think about it some more—okay, I've thought it through!"

Ruan Xiyue peeked over to see Qin Ye's expression, wondering if he was nervous or flustered. Qin Ye glanced at her and then turned his face away.

Just as the two were getting intimate, a female entered the witch doctor's cave.

Ruan Xiyue immediately noticed the other woman's slightly protruding belly and was speechless. Was she having a rebellious streak with females who had children or were pregnant? It seemed like she was going to suffer at the hands of such females one after another.

The female pointed at Ruan Xiyue, stared at Qin Ye, and said with the air of a queen catching her husband cheating, "What are you doing with her?"

Ruan Xiyue couldn't help but roll her eyes, thinking to herself: What's wrong? Girl, are you blind? People come to the Witch Doctor's Cave either to see a doctor or to find a mate. With both females and males coming together, the possibility of them seeing a doctor is obviously much smaller than the possibility of them finding a mate, okay?

Qin Ye stepped forward and blocked the female's finger, coldly glancing at her, and said, "She is my female, and I am her male. What do you think we're here for, Luo Yurou?"

Immediately afterwards, Qin Ye stepped forward, stared at the finger pointing at his chest, and said, "I don't like you pointing at my female. If you don't want your finger anymore, just say so."

Luo Yurou was so frightened that she withdrew her hand, her lips trembling, her eyes reddening, and stared at Qin Ye as she said, "Brother Qin..."

Ruan Xiyue stood up abruptly and said, "Wait a minute, I don't like you calling me 'male,' call me something else."

Luo Yurou, abandoning her weak and easily bullied demeanor, adopted the fierce spirit of Consort Hua, glanced sideways at Ruan Xiyue, shook her head, and sneered, "Why should I change my form of address just because you want me to?"

Oh my, this little brat has two faces!

Ruan Xiyue looked at Qin Ye, pointed with her chin, and asked, "Where did you meet such a treasure?"

Qin Ye seemed to have mastered some exemplary virtue without being taught, and quickly stepped to Ruan Xiyue's side, saying, "From now on, only you are my treasure. I didn't have a treasure before."

Ruan Xiyue felt extremely uncomfortable. Even if you weren't embarrassed, it was others who would feel awkward. But you would probably feel your face burning.

Luo Yurou couldn't believe it; these two were flirting openly in front of her, oblivious to everyone else. Luo Yurou stomped her foot angrily and said, "If you hadn't treated me like your precious treasure before, why would you have risked your life to save me?"

Ruan Xiyue was stunned: Wow—really?! If you hadn't stopped me, I would have finished imagining all the tragic love stories in my mind! He loved her, she loved him, he had no hope of having any more children to save her, and her true love finally realized his true feelings when he almost lost her!

No… if that's the case, then Qin Ye becomes the devoted male supporting character, and I… the female supporting character of the male supporting character? No way, this kind of domineering CEO romance novel isn't suitable for those who are prone to getting lost in love! It's a bit too much!

Qin Ye nervously turned to look at Ruan Xiyue, only to find her lost in thought.

Qin Ye nodded slightly, chuckled, and said, "I never said anything before because I felt that the matter had already been resolved. Whether I said anything or not was irrelevant."

“But if you’re going to spout this nonsense in front of my females today, then I’ll make things clear to you.”

Qin Ye caught a glimpse of Ruan Xiyue out of the corner of his eye, her eyes wide with surprise, before he spoke with a hint of satisfaction: "My father and your father are blood brothers, and I've been close to your older brother since childhood. That time we went hunting, if we had encountered danger, even if it had been someone else, I would have still gone to save them!"

“After my injury was diagnosed as affecting my ability to have children, I don’t know if it was my mother or my father who gave you the wrong impression, but at that time I didn’t actually want to marry anyone.”

Luo Yurou shook her head and said, "You actually resent me, don't you? You resent me for not going to your house immediately, right? I didn't know my father would say those things to your mother!"

Ruan Xiyue raised an eyebrow. What was it that she couldn't hear? Did she need a VIP membership to listen? Don't be so formal!

Qin Ye saw that Ruan Xiyue's eyes held no strangeness, only pure curiosity. Qin Ye was amused by Ruan Xiyue's words and nodded, saying, "Whether those words were true or not, I wouldn't become your partner."

Luo Yurou continued to shake her head and said, "I don't believe you. Then answer me, why don't you have any more contact with my brother?"

Qin Ye gave an impatient snort and said, "Believe it or not."

Seeing the shaman preparing his things and walking in from a distance, Qin Ye looked at Ruan Xiyue and asked, "Are you still going to get married?"
