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

After the witch doctor finished tidying up the cubs, he looked at Qin Ye leaning against the wall and praised him, "Luckily you handled it well. Otherwise... I would have been really worried. I was so angry on the way here. She was still a few days away from her due date."

Ruan Xiyue whispered to Duoduo, "[The date the witch doctor calculated, was it based on Longze's time?]"

Duoduo whispered back, "Host...it's possible the witch doctor really is following Longze's timeline."

The witch doctor stared at Ruan Xiyue's belly for a long time, then looked at Qin Ye.

"You and Long Ze are quite different in terms of time...?"

Qin Ye replied, "About seven or eight days."

The witch doctor seemed unsure and said, "Then...this..."

Longze had just gone outside to warm his hands by the stone furnace when the witch doctor arrived and told him to wait outside.

As a result, he felt as if he had waited for an eternity, but there was no sound from inside. He had clearly heard the little cubs whimpering just moments before.

"Witch doctor...can I...come in now?" Long Ze's voice trembled slightly.

When Xian returned with a large bucket of ice water, he saw that most of the people from the Qin family's beast cave had arrived and were waiting in the living room of the stone house. He couldn't help but feel a little trembling.

If anything happens to the female Xi Yue, he'd rather become a stray animal than let those males go!

The shaman, not wanting to make the female nervous, had Qin Ye accompany Ruan Xiyue while he went out himself.

The shaman and the others walked outside the stone house, and he said in a low voice, "I discovered this when I was examining Xi Yue, the female, after she had eaten too many energy fruits and fell into a coma. Xi Yue may have a double uterus."

"Perhaps Xi Yue's female ancestors had some rabbit, rat, or pig blood. Females from these groups often have twin uteruses."

“After I diagnosed Xi Yue as having a double uterus, I looked through a lot of my old notes from when I was learning the craft. They recorded that some females with double uteruses give birth to their offspring separately.”

"Because our cheetah clan has never had such a situation before. Even when they intermarry with the rabbit and rat clans, I have never encountered a case of separate births. But this situation should exist in other places. In the next few days, the little female may need to eat a lot, or she may not want to eat anything at all. These are the two extreme possibilities."

"I may need to stay in the stone house for a few days in case I can't deliver the baby in time."

Longze nodded quickly and said, "We still have guest rooms, enough room for everyone, no problem. It's just that we'll have to trouble the witch doctor auntie."

The Qin family's beast mother then asked, "Can Xi Yue, the female, still walk on the ground? Given her current condition... what about the placenta... what do we do about it?"

As a female, the Qin family's beast mother naturally knew more; how could a male possibly think of such things?

The witch doctor shook his head and said, "It might not be expelled until she gives birth to the other three cubs. Or... since Xi Yue has a double uterus, she might expel it twice."

The Qin family's beast mother looked worried and said, "Wouldn't that mean we'd suffer twice?"

The witch doctor nodded and said, "So, everyone, please take extra care of this place these next few days."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Ruan Xiyue had actually seen their conversation, because Duoduo didn't quite understand either, so she and Ruan Xiyue were watching the live broadcast electronically.

[As my commander, how could you be unaware of these circumstances? You're utterly incompetent!]

Duo Duo quickly apologized: "Host is right, Duo Duo will try her best to master this knowledge."

Since Duoduo didn't lose many points this time for using the electronic screen to spy on others, Ruan Xiyue decided not to hold it against her. It was everyone's first time doing a task, so letting Duoduo off the hook once or twice wasn't a bad idea.

“Ah Ye—I…”

Before Ruan Xiyue could even speak, her stomach started growling.

Upon hearing the commotion, the three cubs also transformed into infants and began to cry loudly.

Ruan Xiyue quickly transformed into her Iron-Eating Beast form, and casually stuffed a milk-boosting pill into her mouth. While feeding the cubs, she complained to Duo Duo, "This is so frustrating! I've taken this milk-boosting pill now, but when the other three cubs are born, I'll have to take a nursing transformation pill and then another milk-boosting pill."

After thinking for a moment, Duoduo said, "[In the future, if you encounter similar situations, Duoduo will help process the energy and won't let you waste a single milk-boosting pill.]"

[That's more like it. But why is it that even though Qin Ye has advanced in rank, he no longer has his ancestral bloodline? That doesn't make sense!]

Duoduo quickly explained: "Because the quality of some male sperm improves with each rank, while some male sperm are even worse than the first time. This is related to the male's usual diet and the frequency of his sperm use."

Ruan Xiyue blushed and said, "Alright, alright! You and I aren't partners who can talk about these lewd topics! Shut up!"

Duo Duo was stunned. Duo Duo: ? ? ?

Duoduo didn't quite understand, but that didn't matter; it chose to shut up first.

Ruan Xiyue asked again: "Oh, I've already given birth to this one, can't you give me a break? A month or two of rest or something? Too many births are really robbing me of the joy of childbirth. I'm going to get postpartum depression."

Upon hearing this, Duoduo quickly agreed: "Okay, okay!"

The problem is, I'm worried I'll still get pregnant even though I haven't taken any multi-pregnancy pills or fertility supplements. Do you have any birth control pills or anything like that?

[Yes, host. Fifty points for one contraceptive pill.]

[Snatching the young master?] Ruan Xiyue was shocked. This is more expensive than healing pills? Are you crazy?!

Forget it, you don't need to explain anymore, I'm not listening. I don't want the contraceptive pills anymore. Let fate decide!

[Host, don't worry. Your ability level is low, and the probability of having offspring with a male partner whose ability is higher is inherently low. Without taking any pills, you most likely won't conceive!]

Ruan Xiyue thought about it and agreed, so she sat up as Qin Ye helped her.

The shaman was about to clean Ruan Xiyue, but Long Ze, under the guise of wanting to learn, personally and carefully cleaned the blood from Ruan Xiyue's body.

Ruan Xiyue couldn't care less about being touched; she was genuinely starving and almost dizzy. She was even hungrier than before, when she constantly wanted to eat.

So Ruan Xiyue ate five large bowls of fried meat and minced meat porridge with the low-energy fruit.

Unlike their older siblings, the three cubs preferred to live as beastmen. Perhaps they sensed their mother's affection for them while still in the womb? After nursing, the three cubs immediately transformed into human cubs, baring their teeth and claws and whimpering for a while before falling asleep.

Ruan Xiyue still felt unsatisfied, so she took out the grape-like fruit she had previously given her to eat to prolong her drowsiness. While eating, she mentally asked Duoduo, "Have you used the space expansion voucher?"

[Do you want to use it now, host? This is a lottery based on luck. Some people win 1 square meter, some win ten square meters!]

Are there any 100-square-meter apartments available?

No, the prices are all in the range of 1 to 10 square meters.

Okay, let's start!
