Chapter 316 Concentric
Luo Yurou opened her mouth, quickly recalling the situation in her mind.
Chu Jiayun murmured, "No wonder! My third husband returned from his shift later than in previous years. I thought something had happened. But I was pregnant, and he didn't tell me."
The other females nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, I remember that too."
"Yes, so did my husband. I just thought it might be because of the heavy snow and the roads wouldn't be easy to travel."
"Oh, I see! So that's how it is!"
Everyone felt a wave of fear wash over them.
To females, wandering orcs are terrifying creatures. They burn, kill, and plunder, and often kill females' cubs in order to get them to go with them.
Seeing everyone's lingering fear, Ruan Xiyue took out a sound-blocking device from her storage bag, adjusted it, and placed it on the table.
Luo Yurou pursed her lips and said, "You can leave my cubs with you too! We live in the same tribe anyway, and my two oldest cubs are already over a year old! You forgot? You're the one who named Le'er!"
Ruan Xiyue rolled her eyes: "I need toddlers who are three years old or older. Toddlers who are a little over one year old don't remember anything yet! Three years old or older is the age when toddlers start to remember things little by little!"
"Don't even think about slacking off! There's a reason I'm looking for toddlers over three years old! You'll have to raise your one-year-old toddler yourself!"
"You're coming to Beast City with me at the end of the year anyway! Your cub can come next year, it's the same!"
Chu Jiayun pursed her lips, and the hope on her face faded somewhat.
Ruan Xiyue's cubs have never been sick, so she doesn't think that it's a frequent or terrifying thing for cubs to get sick.
However, the other cubs were not so lucky. One of the females in the house had cubs that had fallen ill, and one of the females' sisters-in-law even had a cub that died from an illness she had given birth to.
So it's no wonder that all the mother beasts were green with envy when Ruan Xiyue said she could keep her cubs from getting sick.
Luo Yurou looked at Ruan Xiyue seriously: "You didn't tell the Spirit Fox Tribe and the Treasure-Seeking Rat Tribe about the fact that the minced meat porridge you made can keep the cubs from getting sick, did you?"
Luo Yurou's expression was solemn, sincere and frank: "Your two beastmen husbands are, after all, beastmen from other large tribes."
They might say they love you, and you can take it as a bit of fun, but don't believe them! Only a fool would believe that! And if you reveal all your abilities to them, you'd be incredibly foolish!
Ruan Xiyue nodded and gave a thumbs up: "As expected of you, you're always so straightforward and candid when you talk badly about people!"
Luo Yurou took a deep breath, closed her eyes and looked at Ruan Xiyue again, and said solemnly, "I'm not joking with you! We are still a medium-sized tribe after all, just like the big company swallowing up the small company you told me about."
“We are just a medium-sized tribe. If we possess something far beyond our ability to protect, any large tribe would want to tear us apart and take it for themselves!”
"So, you didn't say that, did you?"
Ruan Xiyue nodded, gently patted the back of Luo Yurou's hand that was tightly holding hers, and said, "I didn't say that! Don't worry. I only said that I would prepare minced meat porridge, which can improve the aptitude of the cubs."
Luo Yurou's expression remained solemn, while the other females pursed their lips, some even looking puzzled.
Chu Jiayun couldn't help but ask, "Such a good thing must be hard to come by! Why give it to them so easily? They are, after all, foreign beastmen!"
After thinking it over, Ruan Xiyue decided to be frank. She didn't think Luo Yurou and the others were weak females, nor would she underestimate their intelligence and resilience.
"You know about the guards sent by the Beast King, right?"
Luo Yurou nodded, and the other four females also nodded in agreement.
Qiu Cici knew the most about this matter, but since she had gone back to the Raccoon Tribe with Qiu Ran, she naturally couldn't answer their questions.
Ruan Xiyue then said directly, "The Beast King wanted to take my child away. However, when they arrived, my cub had already died."
As Luo Yurou watched Ruan Xiyue calmly say these things, she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
An inopportune question popped into her head: wasn't it too much of a coincidence that Ruan Xiyue's cub died...?
"Both the Treasure-Seeking Rat Tribe and the Spirit Fox Tribe want to take away the offspring of their tribe's beast-like ancestral bloodline that I gave birth to."
Luo Yurou's face went numb, Chu Jiayun tilted her head slightly, and the other three females also showed clear signs of deafness.
"What did you just say? Atavism? What?" Chu Jiayun looked completely bewildered.
Ruan Xiyue smiled and said, "The fact that I gave birth to a cub with ancestral bloodline is known to the higher-ups of our Cheetah Lion Tribe, and also to the witch doctor."
"In fact, the Red Fox tribe wanted to kill our tribe, and kill me and my cubs because of this incident."
"The Beast King also knows that the Treasure-Seeking Rat Tribe and the Spirit Fox Tribe possess Bloodline Stones!"
Luo Yurou forced a smile, revealing a smile that was almost crying: "So, back when you were still living in the Cheetah Tribe, the first cheetah cub you gave birth to, the one with black fur, was actually a case of atavism, right? I wasn't wrong back then, was I?"
Ruan Xiyue nodded: "Yes."
One of the young females gasped, almost fainting, and said to Chu Jiayun, "Quickly pinch me so I can see if I'm dreaming!"
Chu Jiayun slapped her across the face without hesitation, and then pinched her own cheek as well.
The pain instantly snapped them back to reality. First, their faces showed excitement, then worry, and then a mixture of excitement and fear. Their expressions shifted constantly.
Ruan Xiyue looked at Luo Yurou: "So, you understand why I'm so eager to cultivate my own power, my cub's power, right?"
"To put it bluntly, our Cheetah Lion Tribe is too weak. Not to mention in front of the Beast King, even in front of the Treasure Rat Tribe or the Spirit Fox Tribe, we have no chance of fighting back."
"So, I tried my best to find a way to make our tribe stronger."
Luo Yurou frowned, her jaw clenched.
Luo Yurou said heavily, "I'm sorry! These burdens shouldn't be borne by you alone! Your Qin Ying's cheetah clan ancestral bloodline should be the responsibility of all of us in the cheetah clan!"
In an instant, the timidity on Chu Jiayun and the others' faces vanished, replaced by determination.
Luo Yurou looked at Chu Jiayun and the others and said, "These words must not be spoken outside this room."
Luo Yurou looked at Chu Jiayun and the others and continued, "The ancestral bloodline cubs, even if I don't say it, everyone should know how precious they are!"
Our cheetah tribe's ancestors were once very glorious. It was only due to conflicts of interest with other tribes, coupled with the extreme cold season, that we went from a large tribe to what we are today!
"If the cubs of our Cheetah Clan born by the Holy Mother Xiyue grow up and are willing to pass on their innate abilities to our Cheetah Clan, it is not impossible for our Cheetah Tribe to return to its peak!"
"Even if we don't return to our peak, we can still achieve our goal of no longer being hampered or bullied by other tribes! Therefore, this matter must not be leaked in the slightest! Otherwise, if there is a first Red Fox Tribe, who can guarantee that there won't be a second one?"
