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

However, Ruan Xiyue still obediently took the multiple pregnancy pills.

Long Ze raised an eyebrow: "Looks like it was my fault. At a time like this, you can still think about other things."

Ruan Xiyue's eyes widened, and she pushed Long Ze forcefully: "I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense—ah—Long Ze!"

"Call me husband," Long Ze persisted.

The night was long, the moon was hazy, and some noise lingered throughout the cold night. Some people were satisfied, while others suffered from aches and cramps.

When Ruan Xiyue opened her eyes in the morning, she saw Long Ze resting his head on her left arm, staring at her intently with a smile on his lips. His deep, pleasant voice seductively asked, "Awake? Hungry?"

Ruan Xiyue nodded.

Long Ze had already added firewood to the stone kang and boiled water. He got up, put on his animal skin skirt, and reached out to pick up Ruan Xiyue, holding her in his arms like a child.

"Let me help you wash up first, then after breakfast you can do whatever you like. I'll stay home and take care of the baby, okay?"

Ruan Xiyue nodded frantically, "Mmm-hmm-hmm!"

The smile on Long Ze's lips never faded; it was as if seeing Ruan Xiyue happy because of him made him even happier than she was.

He personally wiped Ruan Xiyue's face and brushed her teeth, then held her on his lap and ate with her.

"Why do you like to stick to me so much?" Ruan Xiyue asked.

"What? Don't like it?"

"I like it. I just want to know."

"If you don't come and cling to me, then I'll have to cling to you."

After finishing her meal, Ruan Xiyue deliberately used her greasy lips to give Long Ze a kiss on the cheek.

Long Ze was slightly taken aback, then buried his face in Ruan Xiyue's body and rubbed against her, causing Ruan Xiyue to scream and dodge incessantly.

"You smeared oil stains on my fur coat!" Ruan Xiyue pounded on Long Ze's double doors, accusing him fiercely.

Long Ze smiled and said, "What? You're allowed to bully me, but I'm not allowed to fight back?"

He pinched Ruan Xiyue's nose: "Are you being reasonable?"

Ruan Xiyue pouted: "I'm right! Quickly admit you're wrong! Otherwise, you're not allowed to sleep in the same bed with me tonight!"

Long Ze's ruby-like eyes suddenly looked intently at Ruan Xiyue: "Didn't I say that last night?"

Ruan Xiyue looked bewildered: "Huh? What did you say?"

Long Ze kissed Ruan Xiyue's cheek: "It's nothing, you'll find out tonight. I'm going to feed the baby now."

Ruan Xiyue drifted off to sleep again. Long Ze, on the other hand, was quite overwhelmed by the little ones. He used to not understand what the little ones were saying, but when he heard them humming, he thought they were quite cute.

After Ruan Xiyue fed him a soft, sweet and sour treat yesterday, he was able to understand what the babies were saying. It was so annoying! They were so noisy!

Two days after Ruan Xiyue and Long Ze had been shamelessly inseparable, Ruan Xiyue woke up one morning with her heart pounding. She asked the system, "[Duoduo, has something happened to Qin Ye? You can check with your points.]"

This time, Duoduo seemed to have a human side: [Host, you don't need to check with points anymore. Qin Ye is already back and is just lingering at the door.]

Ruan Xiyue frowned, about to speak, when Long Ze walked out of the cub room.

Why don't you come inside?

When Long Ze saw Qin Ye appear in the form of a Lingyue Leopard, he felt that something was amiss.

Qin Ye then turned around, revealing four deep, bone-revealing claw marks on his face.

Ruan Xiyue ran out barefoot and saw this scene.

Qin Ye didn't want her to see his face, which was so badly injured, so he immediately transformed into human form and carried her on his shoulder back to the stone house.

[Without a first-aid kit, I don't think this will work, Duoduo. Can this be healed with healing pills?]

Duoduo quickly replied: "We have iodine and alcohol. 50 points per bottle. Cotton swabs 10 points per packet. The first-aid kit will be available after the next system upgrade. Please clean the wound before using the healing pills; this isn't like a lightning strike wound, it's contaminated with bacteria and other dirt that needs cleaning."

[Just one bottle of iodine solution will do! Also, a packet of cotton swabs. And one wound-healing pill.]

Ruan Xiyue was gently tossed onto the animal skin cushion. Long Ze brought over hot water, and Qin Ye gently wiped the snow water off Ruan Xiyue's feet.

"Can you bear the pain for a moment?" Ruan Xiyue looked up at Qin Ye.

Qin Ye lowered his eyes and nodded gently.

Ruan Xiyue straddled Qin Ye, took out some medicine, and carefully cleaned the wound with iodine. Then she took out a healing pill and placed it in Qin Ye's mouth. Only then did she gently cover the wound with her hands and use her supernatural abilities.

"Baby, your healing ability works so fast."

"Do not talk."

Ruan Xiyue looked at the deep, bone-revealing wound on Qin Ye's brow bone; if it were any lower, it would have damaged his eyeball.

【Duoduo, if your eyes are injured, will taking healing pills still cure them?】

[Dear host, the healing pill can only repair wounds; it cannot restore a severely damaged retina to its original state.]

【Understood. 】

Ruan Xiyue, still shaken, clung tightly to Qin Ye's neck and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Do you like my face that much?" Qin Ye asked softly.

Ruan Xiyue hugged him tightly: "Yes, I love you, I love you to death! But if your face is injured, come back quickly! What are you doing lingering at the door!"

Qin Ye looked up and saw Long Ze, then lowered his eyes again: "I'm afraid you'll see the injury on my face..."

Ruan Xiyue released Qin Ye and cupped his face in her hands: "Then protect your face well. Even if you don't protect it well, I will never abandon you. You are my first beast husband. I also love you as a person!"

Qin Ye saw Ruan Xiyue's seriousness through the tears in her eyes, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He felt that his face wasn't irreplaceable, because his brother Longze had the exact same face as him. But he, as a person, was different from his brother Longze.

Ruan Xiyue fell asleep as soon as she lay down on Qin Ye. Qin Ye frowned and looked at Long Ze: "Brother, you shouldn't let the little female get so tired."

Long Ze pursed his lips. He now roughly guessed what Ruan Xiyue had been eating that night when she was distracted. Because he sensed that Ruan Xiyue was pregnant again: "She... she must be pregnant, that's why she was sleepy."

Qin Ye's gaze grew sharper and sharper. He stared straight at Long Ze, gently lifted Ruan Xiyue up, and placed her on the animal skin cushion.

Qin Ye pulled Long Ze outside: "What exactly happened? Didn't we agree that she would rest for a year? How could this happen..."

Long Ze shook his head: "She cleaned it up every time she cleaned it. And afterwards, she didn't do any fertility-enhancing positions."

Long Ze took a deep breath and looked at Qin Ye: "Do you really not know what's special about her?"

Qin Ye was silent for a moment, then frowned slightly: "She's too conspicuous. Although we're planning to participate in the Holy Female Assembly in the spring, Xi Yue is too special. She's easy to attract covetous eyes and cause unnecessary trouble."

Long Ze lifted his eyelids, his ruby-like eyes devoid of any warmth: "Then you and Cong Xian must become stronger! Every day it's either one of you getting injured or the other crippled. The original sin is weakness!"
