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

After finishing breakfast, Ruan Xiyue quickly took a health-boosting pill. The orcs of the Cheetah Tribe hadn't even finished being treated yet, and the Lion Tribe had already sent people to beg for help. This beast tide seemed to be truly formidable.

Even with Ruan Xiyue's help, more than twenty orcs from the two tribes have already died. They perished on the way back to their tribes.

After Cong Xian recovered, he insisted on going to replace Qin Ye. On the morning Cong Xian was about to leave, Ruan Xiyue added a health-boosting pill to his water.

"Don't rush forward anymore. Keep in formation with everyone. Safety is the most important thing," Ruan Xiyue reminded her again.

Cong Xian nodded: "Don't worry, I'll be more careful this time. Please keep an eye on Brother Longze; the cubs might hatch in the next few days. Thank you for your hard work these past few days while Brother Qin Ye and I were away."

Ruan Xiyue hugged Cong Xian: "Don't worry, I'm fine. You've all worked hard, so please take good care of yourselves. Don't give the water I brought you to anyone else; it's for you only. Okay?"

Cong Xian nodded, kissed Ruan Xiyue, and then went out.

Ruan Xiyue prepared food for Long Ze and was about to leave when Long Ze said somewhat helplessly, "Wife, the baby seems... seems to have hatched."

Ruan Xiyue frowned slightly: "Isn't it still three to five days until the appointed time?"

Long Ze stood up and looked at a beast egg that was making a "thump-thump-thump" sound continuously from the top.

Ruan Xiyue hurriedly ran over, carefully picked up the egg, and asked, "Is my temperature okay?"

Longze looked confused: "Should I continue incubating it?"

Ruan Xiyue was also at a loss, just like a newlywed couple.

Just as the two were wondering what to do, "crack!"—the eggshell broke.

A white dragon with horns on its head poked its head out, only to get stuck in the eggshell, making a "chirp chirp" sound like a chick.

Just as Ruan Xiyue was about to reach out, Long Ze frowned: "What are you yelling about! So delicate! Crack the eggshell yourself and come out by yourself!"

Ruan Xiyue was utterly astonished. Long Ze was usually a doting father, and she was a hands-off mother. Today, Long Ze was so fierce!

Longze explained, "The offspring born from eggs must overcome this hurdle on their own. Otherwise, helping them will only harm them."

Ruan Xiyue said "Oh" and went to prepare to boil water. She had never fed Jiao energy milk before! She wanted to try it!

The little dragon tried very hard to eat half of the eggshell, and was so tired that it didn't want to move at all. Its little head drooped on the edge of the eggshell, and its round red eyes looked at Ruan Xiyue who was holding the milk bottle.

"If I breastfeed him, he won't bite me, will he?" Ruan Xiyue wasn't sure; she was actually quite afraid of snake-like animals.

Long Ze said helplessly, "No, you are his mother."

The little dragon seemed to understand and chirped in protest.

Ruan Xiyue then picked up the eggshell, which was about the size of an ostrich egg, held the baby bottle in her hand, and told Jiao, "You're not allowed to bite me! I'm your mother! If you bite me... if you bite me, I won't talk to you anymore!"

Long Ze couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips; he absolutely loved Ruan Xiyue's childish demeanor.

Ruan Xiyue put the pacifier into the baby dragon's mouth. Unlike the Lingyue Leopard and the Iron-Eating Beast cubs, the baby dragon couldn't use its tongue to hold the pacifier. The baby dragon had a snake's forked tongue in its mouth, so it drank milk very slowly. Ruan Xiyue's arms were tired from holding it up, and the baby had only drunk a little milk, so she felt no sense of accomplishment.

Ruan Xiyue looked at Long Ze, who sighed and resignedly took the baby dragon and the milk bottle.

This guy finds feeding the puppies too troublesome; it's his wife! What else can he do? Spoil her!

Jiao drank the energy milk for a while, then didn't want to eat anymore. Unfortunately, his father wasn't even looking at him! He was still being forced to swallow: Who can save Jiao's little life! Help!

Ruan Xiyue rested her chin on her hand, poked the little dragon cub's bulging belly with her finger, and asked, "Is it full already?"

Long Ze looked down and quickly removed the bottle. The little dragon was so full it was almost bursting; it didn't even need patting to burp; it just started hiccuping on its own.

Ruan Xiyue took the bottle; there was still two-thirds left to drink! She looked at the beast egg under Long Ze's belly, then at the cub bed next to him, and decided to feed the remaining energy milk to the other cubs.

"Have the other two made any moves yet?" Ruan Xiyue asked, puzzled.

Long Ze shook his head: "No, it was a little shaky this morning, but it's quiet now."

Ruan Xiyue hurriedly asked the system in her mind: [There are so many! My son will definitely be able to hatch, right? Don't let it turn into a rotten egg.]

Duoduo quickly scanned the two eggs: [It's alright, it's alright. Dear host, they'll hatch in the next couple of days. Please keep an eye out.]

Ruan Xiyue kissed Long Ze's beard: "I'm going to find the witch doctor, I'll be back in a bit. Don't worry, the other two cubs will definitely hatch, within the next couple of days. Trust your wife's abilities, there won't be any situation where they don't hatch!"

Long Ze had doubts, but he chose to trust Ruan Xiyue.

Ruan Xiyue told the witch doctor that she wouldn't be able to come for the next couple of days because Longze had hatched its first dragon cub. The other two will definitely hatch as well.

Everyone in the witch doctor's cave looked at Ruan Xiyue with pity, and the witch doctor himself was very worried. The earlier the hatchlings emerged, the stronger they would be. The later they hatched, the more likely they were to die. However, no one spoke up about this; instead, they all expressed their understanding.

"Sigh—I was hoping that Xi Yue, being a female, could use her superpower to heal me, and I'd definitely be fully recovered by next week."

"Stop talking. They've already treated our fatal wounds. There are only some minor, non-life-threatening injuries left, which can heal with some rest. You can't expect the female to abandon her cubs to take care of you, can you? What are you thinking?"

"Such a good female as Xiyue, she would definitely be sad if she knew that the cubs would be weaker if they hatched later, right?"

"Sigh—maybe it'll only be half a day late? Maybe it'll hatch this afternoon!"

A group of wounded orcs, including members of the lion tribe and the cheetah tribe, huddled together waiting for their medicine to be applied, lamenting Ruan Xiyue's passing as they waited.

Ruan Xiyue returned to the stone house and began preparing meat. Recently, she has been feeding Long Ze health pills three times a day. If it weren't for the 6000 points she would have earned from the birth of the two babies, she would feel like she was losing out!

Long Ze had just finished eating meat and was about to take a nap when the two beast eggs under his belly started pecking at their shells.

Ruan Xiyue couldn't resist and ate one of the best Beast Mother gummy candies in the world. She couldn't help but laugh. She couldn't resist either, and stuffed one of the best Beast Mother gummy candies into Long Ze's hand as well.

The parents in the newbie village overheard: "You really are something! How could you be so capable, running out to see your father and mother so early?"

"Stop babbling! This shell is so hard! The little brother was the first to peck through it, wasn't it all so he could become the big brother?"

"What are you talking about? Isn't my older brother?"

"It shouldn't be based on birth order, but rather on hatching order, right? I hatched! I hatched! I'm the second oldest! Little brother, you can do it!"
