Chapter 354 Swift as Lightning (Bonus Chapter for Ancient Tickets)
Ruan Xiyue pursed her lips, but she couldn't feel any joy.
Qi helped her improve her abilities. If she were an ordinary, simple, and kind girl, she would be extremely touched and happy, right?
However, she wasn't a simple and lovely woman, I'm sorry. She didn't even know how she ended up looking like a vicious woman.
All she could think about was whether he had rejected her request. Was encouraging her to improve her skills meant telling her that it's best to do things herself?
Of course, it's true that you should do your own things.
Alright then, she was still grateful to Qi, but she couldn't muster any romantic feelings for him.
Jiu Chen asked Ruan Xiyue anxiously, "Your ability fluctuations have been very abnormal these past two days. Is there anything wrong with you?"
Ruan Xiyue shook her head; she felt the fullness and bottleneck of her supernatural abilities.
She then shared her feelings, and Qin Ye said somewhat nervously, "This means you're about to advance in rank. There will be an opportunity to awaken your innate abilities when you go from the Gold Rank to the Human Rank."
Ruan Xiyue nodded: "I understand. But the probability is very small. Xia Weier hasn't awakened, and so many beastmen haven't awakened either. I guess I'm in a tough spot too."
Cong Xian sighed, "The problem is that when breaking through from the Gold Rank to the Human Rank, the fluctuation of supernatural power is too great, and it will be very painful."
As he spoke, he looked at Ruan Xiyue's abdomen.
Ruan Xiyue immediately understood why everyone's expressions of worry remained even after she woke up.
"It's alright, I'm still a long way from leveling up! I'll have to trouble you all during this year's beast tide season."
Given Ruan Xiyue's current condition, no one will allow her to go to the front lines of the beast tide again.
Ruan Xiyue herself didn't dare to go.
Everyone finally went back to their rooms to rest, while Ruan Xiyue watched the cubs playing in the lobby on the first floor.
She gently stroked her slightly protruding belly.
The Beast King's greed will eventually consume his reason. Humans will do anything, regardless of morality or ethics, just to survive.
She would have to confront the Beast King head-on sooner or later, but before that, she had to make arrangements for the cubs.
[Honorable host, you already have over thirty years of lifespan. If you were to clash head-on with the Beast King and be on the verge of death, Duoduo would be able to fully restore you and allow you to continue living.]
Ruan Xiyue, however, was not optimistic: "I still need to give birth to a powerful cub for the Beast God, and then I will still die. Faced with two certain deaths, I only have one chance to prolong my life. Therefore, many things still need to be arranged."
Duoduo became withdrawn after being talked to by Ruan Xiyue.
However, the Beast King remained silent until Ruan Xiyue was about to give birth to this litter of cubs.
Qi never came to see Ruan Xiyue again.
Qin Ye frowned as he looked at Ruan Xiyue's enormous belly. The previous nine babies hadn't had such big bellies. Why was Ruan Xiyue's belly so frighteningly large when there were only seven babies this time?
In the end, Ruan Xiyue could only maintain her daily life by posing as an iron-eating beast.
Only Ruan Xiyue knew that although her belly looked frighteningly big, thankfully she didn't feel any discomfort; otherwise, she probably would have died of fear.
She's terrified of pain.
This time, the witch doctor didn't wait for Ruan Xiyue's beast husband to invite her; instead, he came to Ruan Xiyue's house every day to keep watch.
Today, the first batch of beastmen to resist the beast tide have set off, and Ruan Xiyue finally felt the signs that she was about to give birth.
Regardless of whether the witch doctor was present, she swallowed a painless childbirth pill.
I immediately heard Duo Duo's system announcement in my ear:
[Congratulations, host, on successfully giving birth to a cub. The cub is a female Crimson Flame Leopard with a green-tier ability. Reward: 1500 points; additional 100,000 points for ancestral bloodline.

[Congratulations, host, on successfully giving birth to a cub, a female iris-shaped mermaid with a gold-tier supernatural ability. Reward: 200,000 points. Congratulations, host, on gaining one year of lifespan.]
Ruan Xiyue was stunned: [Duoduo? There are merfolk?]
Duo Duo: [The map I gave the host shows that the Mermaid Tribe is next to Ji Wu Beast City!]
Ruan Xiyue pursed her lips: [I thought the Beast God was a single beastman, a separate race.]
Duoduo: [No, the Mermaid Tribe is still alive. In fact, it's a large tribe with over 30,000 orcs. Moreover, the Mermaid Tribe isn't short of females; out of the 37,000 orcs, 12,000 are female.]
They simply don't interact much with other tribes, so no one knows anything about them.
Ruan Xiyue exclaimed in surprise: "And a Gold-tier cub with such a high score?"
Duo Duo: [That's right, I already explained to my esteemed host that the higher the aptitude of the offspring, the more points you get. That's why I kept recommending that you also acquire the Beast King.]
Ruan Xiyue laughed in exasperation: [Shut up! What kind of niche, taboo, and illegal literature are you trying to show off in front of me? Get out! Get out! Get out!]
【okay! 】
Exhausted, Ruan Xiyue slumped in her Iron-Eating Beast form when she saw Qi suddenly appear. As he reached out to hug the mermaid cub, Qin Ye and Li Miao in the delivery room immediately assumed a fighting stance. The witch doctor trembled with fear, but still reached out to protect the bed behind him, the weak Ruan Xiyue, and the cub whose umbilical cord had just been treated.
Qi looked at Ruan Xiyue: "Mermaid babies must be soaked in seawater to benefit their physical constitution and aptitude."
Ruan Xiyue pursed her lips: "You've been staying away all this time, and now you're suddenly showing up just to take my child away?"
After Ruan Xiyue finished speaking, she was stunned. Why did she sound so resentful?
Qi sighed softly, "You asked me to help you find a way to split his soul and nourish his remaining soul to recover. I'm going to find a way now."
Li Miao was surprised. He looked at Ruan Xiyue, and then at the exceptionally handsome male in front of him.
Ruan Xiyue had just opened her mouth when she said, "Alright then, I misunderstood you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qi had already disappeared with the iris-tailed mermaid in his arms.
