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

Xia Weier took Ruan Xiyue shopping to relax. The streets of the inner city were cleaner than those of the outer city, and the quality of the goods was also higher.

"A-Xian, you need to help me memorize these street layouts. If I am selected to build a beast city, we will need to learn from their layout."

Cong Xian nodded and took careful notes. He also wrote down in detail the rationality or irrationality of the arrangement of these buildings and shops.

Xia Weier held Ruan Xiyue's hand, his brows furrowed slightly.

Ruan Xiyue asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Xia Weier whispered in Ruan Xiyue's ear, "There are a few males following us."

Ruan Xiyue asked curiously, "Isn't it said that Beast City has good public security and that no one will cause trouble in Beast City?"

Xia Weier: "No orc would be foolish enough to run rampant in the Beast City, but perhaps their purpose in following us is something else?"

Ruan Xiyue asked, puzzled, "For example?"

Xia Weier was considering whether to tell Ruan Xiyue about Long Ze's other identity when he was interrupted by three orcs.

"Hello, are you Xiyue, the female?" The newcomer was dressed in a priest's robe, with a red band around the white linen cuffs and stand-up collar. This was a symbol of her status.

Ruan Xiyue nodded: "Yes, that's me."

"We just went to your beast husband's residence to look for you, but no one was there. We've come to inform you that you've been selected as one of the prospective Holy Maidens of Brightmoon Beast City."

Next month, we will hold a blessing ceremony for you and the other two prospective saintesses. A saintesse who receives the approval of the Beast God will enjoy all the privileges of a saintesse.

Ruan Xiyue expressed her gratitude to the other party, and after the other party left, she couldn't help but ask Xia Weier, "Are there any holy females who are not recognized by the Beast God?"

Xia Weier nodded: "Yes. Some quasi-saintesses previously advanced quickly through shady means, so they won't gain the Beast God's approval."

Ruan Xiyue was shocked: "Dishonest methods?"

Xia Weier explained, "There is a black witch doctor who can teach orcs to quickly advance their rank by killing their own kind and devouring their brains and hearts."

"And the rank gained through this method is illusory. Furthermore, it will fill the power of one's bloodline with evil."

"This enhanced ability will also affect the mind of the orcs, causing them to slowly degenerate into beasts that have lost their intelligence and only know how to kill."

"Moreover, wild animals and beastmen who are scratched or bitten by the strange beasts will be infected by this evil."

Ruan Xiyue pursed her lips, thinking to herself: Is this describing the symptoms of prions?

[Duoduo, Xia Weier must be describing symptoms caused by being infected with a prion, right?]

[Honorable host, the disease on the Beast God Continent caused by eating the brains and hearts of their own kind is far more terrifying than prions. Prions have a high mortality rate, but they don't cause people to go insane.]

While asking Xia Weier for more information about the customs and interesting stories of the Beast God Continent, Ruan Xiyue continued shopping.

Meanwhile, the three priests who had left returned to a luxurious wooden carriage. They first bowed to a young, short-haired male before reporting to him:

“We conducted a preliminary test. Although Ruan Xiyue’s female ability is growing rapidly, it shouldn’t have been obtained through the Black Witch Doctor’s methods. The Sun Crystal isn’t hot.”

The short-haired male's calm, deep voice was like a gentle breeze on the all-encompassing deep sea: "Understood. How are the other two prospective holy maidens?"

The three priests looked at each other and bowed their heads: "For one of them, the Sun Crystal got a little warm when we approached her. But after a while, the Sun Crystal stopped reacting."

The priest, who was of a slightly higher rank, frowned slightly. His high brow ridges made his deep-set eyes seem somewhat intimidating when he looked at you.

However, he did not reprimand the three priests, but calmly said, "Understood. Pay more attention and see who she usually comes into contact with. By the way, have Beast City cooperate with us to investigate the number of missing members of the other tribe and the annual death toll, and see if there is anything unusual."

One of the three priests couldn't help but take a half step forward: "But High Priest, I feel that Ruan Xiyue, the female, should also be investigated again. She was clearly jilted in the Cheetah Tribe before. It's very strange that she suddenly has high-level superpowers."

The high priest looked at the priest who was a few years older than him and thought for a moment: "That's fine. But if you insist on doing this, you must be careful to keep it a secret. Don't cause other beastmen to have any unnecessary misunderstandings about the female Xi Yue."

After the priests withdrew, a middle-aged female priest beside the high priest disagreed, saying, "I tested Xi Yue's bloodline. If there were a problem with her, she certainly wouldn't have been able to give birth to so many offspring with high bloodlines."

“If you investigate, you’ll definitely find clues. The reason I insisted on sending you to Brightmoon Beast City, rather than places like Lute Beast City, is because I believe it has great potential.”

"Although she is not the highest-ranking quasi-saintess in terms of supernatural abilities, she is the youngest."

"Which of the females who came for the test weren't in their twenties? Only she was the youngest. Moreover, in the selection of holy women, there was probably no one with a higher fertility level than her."

"You should also consider getting a partner. If you delay any longer, the old priest will urge me to find you a match."

"But every time we meet, you disagree. What kind of female are you looking for?"

The high priest shook his head: "I'm not considering these things for now. The continuation of our clan's bloodline can also rely on my younger brother. He's of age to get married."

This middle-aged female priestess was the one who conducted the bloodline test for Ruan Xiyue in the Deer Clan tribe. She was also the priestess who had already disappeared when Xia Weier went to look for her.

The female priestess was so angry at the high priest's words that she laughed: "You two brothers are really good at making excuses. When we asked your younger brother, he said that his elder brother hadn't found a partner yet and he wasn't in a hurry. When we asked you, you said that the bloodline's continuation depended on your younger brother."

“If you two continue like this, then I will have no choice but to complain to the old priest. The purest bloodline of the Spirit Cat Clan to produce priests is you and your brother. This lineage cannot be broken with you and your brother.”

"Even if you don't form a mate, bringing back a cub of your bloodline will do. I still need to give an account to the old priest, right?"

The high priest lowered his eyes and remained silent.

The female priestess knew he was thinking about his mother again, so she didn't press him further and changed the subject: "You brought your trusted priests this time, so I trust them to act."

"But one thing: if they find out that Xi Yue can reproduce with atavistic blood, you must keep this news a secret."

The high priest nodded: "Aunt, don't worry, although they are not priests from our Spirit Cat tribe, they are all trustworthy."

"I know what a Holy Female who can give birth to a child with ancestral blood means to all Beast Cities, and even the Holy City. And how much disaster it will bring to the female Xi Yue if this matter is not handled properly. I will handle this matter well."

However, today in the arena stands, the male next to Xi Yue looked very familiar. Does Aunt remember him?
