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

“Now that you mention it…” the middle-aged priest thought carefully, then hissed, “You really do look familiar, but I just can’t remember who it is. How strange…”

The middle-aged priest quickly cast a blessing spell on himself and then tried to recall the events.

The female priestess frowned: "No, I can't remember who it is. Besides, either he has some kind of mystery about him, or he has the bloodline of our spirit cat clan. Or, there's another possibility."

“The priests of the Spirit Cat Clan cast unfathomable spells on him.”

The middle-aged priest looked at the young high priest.

The high priest frowned: "Then I'll use a spying spell..."

The female priestess raised her hand to stop her: "Don't use this kind of magic lightly, especially against orcs who have cast protective spells on you. If you are stronger than them, they will be injured and suffer a backlash. If you are not as strong as them, their magic will be reflected back at you, and you will suffer a backlash."

"Do you suspect he might harm the female Xi Yue?" the female priestess asked.

The high priest shook his head: "I just think that person looks familiar. I don't yet understand whether the other person and Ruan Xiyue became partners for the sake of offspring or for some other purpose."

“Then there’s no need to take that risk. You can observe more before making a decision.” The female priest’s lips curled up slightly.

The high priest, without suspicion, nodded.

When Ruan Xiyue returned to her residence and opened the door, she saw Qin Ye busy frying meat in the kitchen. She smiled and called out, "Aze, how did you know I was hungry?"

Qin Ye lifted his eyelids, the curve of his lips slightly drooping: "Yue'er, you've mistaken me for your elder brother after just a few days?"

Ruan Xiyue was stunned for a moment, then quickly apologized.

Qin Ye felt a bit disappointed; his little female didn't seem as excited to see him as he had imagined.

Xia Wei'er naturally walked to the kitchen: "Let me help."

Just as Qin Ye was about to hand over the kitchen to Xia Weier without any further ado, Xia Weier picked up some powdered seasonings and asked, "What is this?"

Qin Ye narrowed his eyes, curled his lips, and quickly told Xia Weier which seasonings should be added and when.

As a result, as soon as Qin Ye stepped out of the kitchen, a raging fire broke out in the stone pot.

Qin Ye's narrow phoenix eyes widened for a moment.

He hurried over and covered the fire in the stone pot with a stone lid.

He couldn't tell for a moment whether Xia Weier was deliberately trying to prevent him from getting close to Ruan Xiyue, or whether he genuinely didn't know how.

Xia Weier's face had some soot marks, and his rabbit ears were sticking out.

Ruan Xiyue pursed her lips, but couldn't help laughing.

Xia Weier was somewhat embarrassed. He looked away, his left hand resting on the back of his neck, and stammered, "I never thought... cooking would be so difficult..."

Qin Ye raised an eyebrow: "You've never cooked before?"

Xia Weier pursed her lips: "Uncle Hua took care of me before. I... have never cooked before. I will learn in the future."

Qin Ye didn't question him, but generously laughed and said, "It's okay, I can teach you right now."

Xia Weier knew that Qin Ye wanted to keep him in the kitchen, so he didn't refuse and began to seriously learn from Qin Ye.

Ruan Xiyue had just released the cubs to play with Cong Xian's father. The older cubs were now almost six months old. In the Beast God Continent, a year has fifteen months, and the oldest cub would only be eight months old in a while, making it six months old.

And now they are at the age where they are starting to be full of curiosity about everything. Ruan Xiyue holds this belief: as long as they let their father play with them, they are not allowed to play with their mother.

Just as Ruan Xiyue was admiring Cong Xian being played with by a group of cubs, she heard Qin Ye's deep, cello-like voice, tinged with restraint: "Get out!"

Ruan Xiyue curiously peeked into the kitchen to see the results of the fire, only to find that Qin Ye's bangs had been singed and were now curled like corn silk.

Xia Weier hadn't found her way anywhere either. She looked at Ruan Xiyue with an innocent expression and two dark gray marks on her face, appearing pitiful.

Ruan Xiyue smiled and pinched Xia Weier's cheek: "Okay, maybe... you're not very good at cooking."

Ruan Xiyue watched Qin Ye's expressionless face as he bent down to clean up the wasted beast meat. Although he seemed to say nothing, for some reason, she sensed a sense of grievance from his tall figure.

She hurried to the kitchen and hugged Qin Ye from behind, saying, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, my first beastly husband."

The smile on Qin Ye's lips finally carried genuine joy.

"By the way, where's Aze? Why are you cooking today?"

Qin Ye's lips curled up slightly: "I don't know. When I came back, I didn't see my brother."

Xia Weier kept staring at Ruan Xiyue, but Ruan Xiyue seemed to have no suspicions at all.

Xia Weier couldn't help but frown, then asked with a smile, "What did the Second Beast Husband go to do? Aren't you curious, Yue'er?"

Ruan Xiyue shrugged: "You all have your own lives. Just because we're together doesn't mean everything you do has to revolve around me. You need your own social circles too, to make friends, go shopping, go out and relax..."

"Aren't you worried about him...?"

Qin Ye then looked up and interrupted Xia Weier: "My brother is such a big male, what's there to worry about? He won't get lost. Nor will he cause any trouble for our wives."

"Oh?" Xia Weier raised an eyebrow, his face seemingly expressionless, but the doubt and mockery seemed to be coming at him.

Ruan Xiyue tilted her head: "You two are so curious about where Aze went and what he did, why don't you just ask him when he comes back?"

"I don't like it when my husbands are suspicious of each other. I can tolerate you being jealous occasionally."

However, if there is any suspicion that we are slandering each other, then it would be best to have concrete evidence in front of me.

Otherwise, I really dislike this family atmosphere. When I feel like home no longer is, I will leave.

Ruan Xiyue lowered her hands from the stone platform and was about to leave when Qin Ye gently grasped her wrist: "Eat the fried meat first. You can't go hungry now."

Xia Weier quickly came over and picked up the stone plate, and Ruan Xiyue followed him to the living room.

Ruan Xiyue had already finished eating, but Long Ze still hadn't returned.

Qin Ye naturally picked up Ruan Xiyue and said, "I missed you. You little ingrate, you actually mistook me for my brother. You've never confused me before."

Xia Weier conscientiously went to clean up the kitchen waste and dishes.

Without waiting for Ruan Xiyue's explanation, Qin Ye gently bit Ruan Xiyue's neck and said indistinctly, "I want you to clearly understand the difference between me and my brother."

Qin Ye picked up Ruan Xiyue and carried her upstairs.

Qin Ye knew all of Ruan Xiyue's vulnerabilities. In no time, Ruan Xiyue had completely forgotten her anger towards Qin Ye, stemming from her dislike of his parents.

Now, she simply repeated to Qin Ye, as he demanded: "You are my first beastly husband, Qin Ye... Ah Ye! Husband—"
