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

When Xia Weier heard the name Bai Wei, his expression seemed to darken even more.

"It seems you and your beast king father really don't get along well!" Long Ze's cruel smile never faded.

Xia Weier narrowed his eyes and retorted sarcastically, "Tell me, what would the little female think if she knew that you were the leader of the vast majority of the wandering beastmen?"

Long Ze's brows furrowed, his smile faded slightly, and he said coldly:

"Not all wandering beastmen are under my control. I can only say that this matter has nothing to do with the Yama Beast."

But you, without informing your Beast King father, became Yue'er's partner.

Can you guarantee that your brothers, and your Beast King father who tolerates no disobedience, won't do anything to harm Yue'er?

Just as Xia Weier was about to say something, he keenly looked towards the end of the hall.

Then, Long Ze listened carefully and realized that Cong Xian upstairs must have finished feeding the cubs and opened the door to his room.

Xia Weier whispered, "I will not let my partner get hurt in any way."

Long Ze lowered his head and continued frying the next plate of meat, replying in a low voice, "You'd better keep your word. Otherwise, the Holy City isn't invincible."

“I’ve rarely gone to that filthy place since my mother passed away. Do you really think I care about who lives or dies there?”

However, you don't need to make these threats. I will protect my beastly wife. I only intend to have one partner in my life.

Long Ze lifted his eyelids and glanced at Xia Weier: "Oh? Dirty? Isn't there a blood-related older brother living there?"

But don't worry, you said you only plan to have one partner in your life.

If you can't do it, I'll help you achieve it.

When I came down from Xian, I felt that there was something strange about the atmosphere between Xia Weier and Long Ze, so I raised the baby bottle in my hand to ease the awkwardness: "There is no hot water. I need to make some hot water and some cold water."

Long Ze pointed to the iron kettle on the stove: "It's already boiled. The current temperature doesn't seem to need to be mixed with cold water. Just let it cool for a while, and the temperature will be just right."

Cong Xian nodded, took several baby bottles out of the storage bag, mixed the energy formula, and asked while shaking it well, "What are you two talking about? Did you have a fight?"

He found that the atmosphere was not harmonious, and neither Long Ze nor Xia Weier had any intention of speaking.

Xian laughed awkwardly to ease the embarrassment, then quickly grabbed a bunch of baby bottles and left.

Xia Weier walked from the living room to the kitchen, picked up two plates of fried meat, a smile on his lips, but his tone was icy: "Thank you!"

Long Ze clenched his teeth, lowered his eyes, and ignored him.

After Xia Weier went upstairs, Long Ze finished wiping his hands with a burlap cloth, then sneered and slammed the cloth onto the stove.

Ruan Xiyue was instantly awakened by the familiar aroma. She ate two large plates of meat by herself and looked at Xia Weier pitifully: "I'm still not full... The inn doesn't allow us to cook for ourselves, and the food is terrible. I feel like I've lost weight from hunger!"

Xia Weier kissed the grease stain on Ruan Xiyue's lips and licked it lightly with his tongue: "Okay, Xia Weier received. Xia Weier, go get another plate."

After Xia Weier left, Ruan Xiyue swallowed a mid-grade energy pill.

[Duoduo, this baby must have excellent aptitude, right? Otherwise, it would be such a waste of my energy pills.]

Duoduo quickly replied: "[Honorable host, that's for sure. The fact that the cub ingested a large amount of energy during its development indicates that the cub has excellent potential. The fact that the host consistently provides the cub with as much energy as possible ensures that the cub is born with a high rank.]"

This is also why it's difficult for low-ranking female beasts to give birth to cubs with high potential.

Ruan Xiyue finally understood why the system had rewarded her with an upgrade in her superpower rank. So that's why!

After the third plate of barbecue was served, Ruan Xiyue could only eat a few bites before she couldn't eat anymore.

Xia Weier had no choice but to eat the rest.

He carefully cleaned Ruan Xiyue's mouth and hands before letting her lie down to rest.

After a few days of blissful, shameless happiness, Ruan Xiyue was informed by Qin Ye that his application for the duel between the Beast Mother and Qin Huan had been approved. The duel would take place in the arena two days later.

Looking at the worried Qin Ye, Ruan Xiyue asked, "Why do you look so pale?"

Qin Ye looked at Long Ze, then at Ruan Xiyue: "Qin Huan has been training her fighting skills like crazy these past few days. I went to check on her, and her fighting skills are not bad. Perhaps even better than my beast mother's."

Ruan Xiyue was somewhat surprised: "Didn't we inquire before that she was living a life of being waited on hand and foot? How could she pick up training again and become better than your Beast Mother?"

Qin Ye looked somewhat embarrassed: "Perhaps she was provoked by her beastly husband. Because of her beastly husband, he went to see Mother. He said that he originally had his eye on Mother."

"He proposed that if his mother won, he would bring all his possessions and resources to marry her."

Ruan Xiyue's eyes widened. What kind of melodramatic middle-aged and elderly romance was this...?

"Then Father got very angry and wanted to challenge Qin Huan's beast husband to a duel. Mother was still trying to persuade Father not to do it, and they even had a fight about it."

Ruan Xiyue rolled her eyes rudely: "My second husband—his own son—was abused and bullied by the other party, and he didn't say a word. When Mother wanted to duel Qin Huan, he didn't even chime in with a husbandly voice. Now that the other party wants to join this family, he's all fired up. He jumped out and said he wanted to duel?"

Ruan Xiyue scoffed.

Qin Ye's lips trembled. His smiling lips, which looked exactly like Long Ze's, were now filled with bitterness.

"Alright, go back and persuade your mother to focus on her practice."

Stop wasting your time trying to advise men on their trivial matters and arguing with them.

Improving your own abilities is more important than anything else.

I can heal wounds, but I can't heal dead orcs. I'm not being nice, and I'm in a bad mood right now, so just bear with me.”

Ruan Xiyue was very unhappy.

Qin Ye's expression darkened further. He pursed his lips and nodded.

Ruan Xiyue couldn't help but feel sorry for Qin Ye. Just as he was about to leave, Ruan Xiyue ran over and hugged Qin Ye's waist, burying her face in his back and saying in a muffled voice:

"Ah Ye, I'm sorry, husband. I shouldn't have lost my temper with you over this. I know your father is very good to you, so you feel sorry for him. But, Ah Ye, if you were in Ah Ze's shoes..."

It hurts me to see you like this. I'm angry that your father, as a father, has been so... well, never mind, we won't mention him again. I won't lose my temper with him anymore. Please don't be angry, okay?

Qin Ye pulled Ruan Xiyue's hands away, turned around, and hugged her tightly.

“I know. I know you're angry because you care about my brother.”

Actually, I'm just a little embarrassed; I don't think there's anything wrong with what you're doing.

I'm glad you care about us. Don't apologize. You didn't do anything wrong.
