She gave birth to a litter of furry babies, thus extending her life.
Chapter 54 How about we get a different father?
The witch doctor was clearly excited; she had delivered egg-laying cubs before, but! Longze's beast form was a dragon! She wondered if these three cubs would be born as jiao or dragons?
Unbeknownst to everyone, thick dark clouds suddenly began to gather over the easternmost sea of the Beast World continent. Purple lightning also flickered within the clouds.
Dozens of dragons lived on the seabed. One of them, a crimson female dragon beastman, raised her head and said in a slightly weathered voice, "Can you feel it?"
"Mother, has a female broken our curse?" a spirited young girl holding a red-tasseled spear asked, slightly excited.
The female dragon beastman nodded, still gazing at the sky with her head held high, and said, "Alas—I don't know... whether this is a curse or a blessing!"
"We don't even know if they'll hatch! Let's just wait until they survive! Don't... never mind... sigh—"
Ruan Xiyue was naturally unaware of these conversations. She had already greeted Duoduo and was secretly putting a nursing and rehabilitation pill into her mouth.
The witch doctor, oblivious to what Ruan Xiyue had done, had just finished cleaning up the bloodstains on the bed when he asked, "Your abdomen might need some pressure, otherwise the placenta and other debris left from the baby you gave birth to a few days ago..."
As she was talking, the witch doctor noticed that what she was talking about was flowing out in a rush.
Ruan Xiyue thanked Duoduo more than once. She felt that without the system's help, who could be the heroic mother Kuku and give birth to cubs! No matter how much she liked playing with cubs, she couldn't have even one! Really!
The witch doctor was overjoyed. Before she could do anything, Qin Ye started cleaning Ruan Xiyue and said to her very considerately, "Auntie witch doctor, you should go and rest for a while. I'll take care of Yue'er here!"
The witch doctor nodded, not forcing herself to continue, and turned to go to the room where she had been staying for the past few days.
"Oh my—whose husband is so considerate!" Ruan Xiyue couldn't help but praise as she watched Qin Ye bustling around.
Qin Ye smiled, not at all bothered by the mess and exhaustion of cleaning. On the contrary, he felt a pang of tenderness in his heart and a sweet joy on his lips.
"Eat more minced meat porridge lately. If you get tired of it, I'll make you some Gugu Beast eggs to make your favorite steamed egg custard. I also found a lot of sesame seeds, which I can grind into oil and drizzle on the egg custard. Just tell me what you want to eat. But you can't eat spicy food lately. The witch doctor said that new females shouldn't eat those things."
Ruan Xiyue pouted; she genuinely regretted mentioning postpartum confinement. It turned out all the females in the tribe were practicing it, and it was indeed very effective for their recovery. But she didn't need it! Had she taken those postpartum care pills for nothing?
Qin Ye naturally noticed Ruan Xiyue's displeasure. After washing his hands, he quickly carried Ruan Xiyue to the master bedroom, kissed her forehead, and said, "I'll come and keep you company as soon as I've packed my things. As long as you promise to eat well and take good care of yourself, I'll do whatever you want, okay?"
Ruan Xiyue sat up abruptly, her eyes shining as she looked at Qin Ye and asked, "Really?"
Qin Ye stroked Ruan Xiyue's hair and said, "I've always kept my word with you!"
Ruan Xiyue chuckled. If Duoduo hadn't reminded her, she would have forgotten to feed the cubs. Ruan Xiyue quickly said, "Bring all the cubs over here first. I'll feed them while I think about what I'm going to do tonight!"
Qin Ye opened his mouth slightly, then quickly closed it again. His ears turned bright red, and he softly hummed in agreement before heading to the cub room.
Ruan Xiyue looked at Qin Ye, who was holding the entire animal hide by both ends, with a bunch of huddled cubs hanging down in the middle. Even someone as carefree as Ruan Xiyue couldn't help but shake her head at the sight.
Qin Ye is really rough when it comes to taking care of cubs. Sometimes Ruan Xiyue even wonders whether the cubs are Qin Ye's or Long Ze's.
Qin Ye handed the cub to Ruan Xiyue and then turned around to continue tidying up the room.
Ruan Xiyue transformed into a metal-eating beast, quickly urging the babies to nurse, and couldn't help but complain: "Your father is really something, isn't he afraid that you older ones will crush your younger brother and sister!"
Ruan Gang stopped eating and started babbling incoherently for a while. Ruan Xiyue couldn't understand a word of his cub language, so she asked Duo Duo, "I can't understand what they're saying, do you think that's reasonable?"
Duoduo quickly promoted: "Our store has the best Beast Mother Gummies from the Beast World! One gummy lasts a week. One gummy is 1 point, dear!"
Ruan Xiyue said boldly, "Buy it! Can't this be given to others? If I'm too lazy to take care of the cubs, it would be best if my beast husband could understand their needs."
Duoduo quickly replied, "That's fine too, dear! But only you and your beast husband can eat it, okay?"
Ruan Xiyue nodded, ate one, and then understood the children's conversation:
"I would never hurt my younger brother and sister!"
"But you just stepped on my brother's head!"
"You're talking nonsense! That was Qin Ying who stepped on it!"
"I stepped on A-mei's butt, don't accuse me wrongly!"
"Hungry! Hungry! Hungry!"
After listening for a few minutes, Ruan Xiyue regretted her decision and weakly asked, "[Can I get a refund? I don't want the points, can you just cancel this for me? It's so noisy! I don't understand why they're so cute when they're being whiny! Now that I understand, it's just...so annoying!]"
【Uh—that's impossible, dear. Duoduo is deeply sorry and regretful about this.】
Ruan Xiyue couldn't help but roll her eyes. Lying there listening to the little ones' childish bickering, she couldn't help but say, "Hurry up and eat! Didn't you hear your younger siblings say they're hungry?"
The four cubs were so frightened that they all fell silent, but after a short while, they asked all at once, "Mother? Mother can understand us now?"
"Mother, can you understand me?"
"Mom is so amazing! Dad is so slow!"
"Mom is the best!"
"..."
Ruan Xiyue felt a headache coming on. She wondered why she had made such an absurd request as to understand what the cubs were saying.
Ruan Xiyue lay down flat, pretending to be a lazy bum, and before she knew it, she had fallen asleep.
When Qin Ye finished packing and came over, he saw Ruan Xiyue lying flat and several baby crickets fluttering around, and two of the baby crickets almost fell off the stone bed.
Qin Ye quickly picked up the two cubs and scolded them in a low voice, "Don't you dare dig around like that! If you fall, you'll definitely wake your mother! Stay inside and behave! Otherwise, I won't let you sleep here next time!"
The two cubs were grabbed by the scruff of their necks, their fate sealed, and they dared not utter a word.
Qin Ye originally wanted to prepare some fried or roasted meat for Long Ze, but after thinking about it, he figured his older brother wouldn't starve to death even if he didn't eat all night. So he placed the cubs on Ruan Xiyue's bear back, transformed into a Lingyue leopard, lay down beside Ruan Xiyue, and quietly fell asleep with her.
The cubs whispered among themselves, "Is this really our father? But I want Longze to be my father."
"Can Father be replaced? Let Mother replace this Father!"
"Sigh—I really envy Longze's son. His own father never burped me!"
"Never mind, let's go to sleep!"
