Chapter 313 You're not planning to usurp the throne, are you? (Bonus chapter for Chaochao)
Qi Heng pursed his lips and said, "It would be a lie to say I don't want to improve my ability level. However, I agree with what Li Miao said. Also, you'd better change that part on the animal skin scroll."
"It's one thing for people to speculate, but it's another thing if you just take it out and say that you actually have it!"
"In fact, when selecting young children to accompany students, some elders do not necessarily only choose from collateral branches."
"What if they want to give their offspring to the female cubs you gave birth to?"
"They might pick out one or two promising offspring! Your fertility level is very high, and your female offspring might also have high fertility levels."
"There's a chance an elder might be willing to take the gamble! So, don't reveal your ability to increase bloodline purity to any orcs!"
Ruan Xiyue thought for a moment, nodded, took the animal skin scroll, revised it again, made two copies, and handed them to Qi Heng and Li Miao.
Li Miao stood up, walked to Ruan Xiyue, and took the animal skin scroll.
He pulled Ruan Xiyue into his arms and looked down at her, his nose just centimeters away from hers.
Li Miao whispered to Ruan Xiyue, "The Cheetah Lion Tribe's outposts and tower defenses are still too weak. Don't reveal too much of your abilities."
“Once you get to Beast City and increase the number of orcs in your guard, you can gradually reveal these things. Right now, we need to proceed cautiously and slowly.”
Ruan Xiyue swallowed hard, about to nod, when Li Miao gave her a light, quick kiss on the lips.
Li Miao touched her briefly and then pulled away, his arm involuntarily tightening around Ruan Xiyue's waist. His head was throbbing, so he slowly released Ruan Xiyue.
Li Miao held the animal skin scroll: "Then I'm going to find those old guys, Lu Qixin! You stay home and wait for me to come back."
Ruan Xiyue nodded, her face slightly flushed.
Qi Heng gritted his teeth in anger. He had really miscalculated, letting Li Miao beat him to it!
As Qi Heng watched Li Miao walk out, the fox ears on his head and the fox tail behind him became fluffy.
With a slightly aggrieved look on his face, he bent down slightly, lowered his head, and gently leaned on Ruan Xiyue's shoulder.
Ruan Xiyue gently patted Qi Heng on the back: "Okay, go ahead."
Qi Heng, dissatisfied, lightly brushed his red lips against Ruan Xiyue's neck, his hot breath spraying onto her skin.
It wasn't until Ruan Xiyue couldn't help but tightly grip Qi Heng's shirt from behind that Qi Heng gently bit Ruan Xiyue's neck, leaving a very shallow mark, before reluctantly leaving.
"I'll go take care of it! You have to reward me tonight!"
Ruan Xiyue pinched Qi Heng's nose, making no promises, only saying, "Go quickly! Come back soon!"
After Qi Heng and the others left, Ruan Xiyue did not stay at home.
She went to find Luo Yurou and Chu Jiayun.
Ruan Xiyue looked in surprise at Luo Yurou and Chu Jiayun's new residence. A group of small, beast-shaped cubs were chasing and playing at the door, making it extremely lively.
Luo Yurou and Chu Jiayun were knitting sweaters when they saw Ruan Xiyue. They were all happy to see her and greeted her.
"What a rare guest! You almost never go out, what brings you here today?"
Ruan Xiyue shrugged: "I missed you guys!"
Luo Yurou's face said: "You'll see if I believe your nonsense or not!"
Ruan Xiyue shrugged, fanned the dust kicked up by the cubs running around, and said, "Don't you guys think the dust is a bit much?"
Chu Jiayun spread her hands: "Then what can we do? We need to watch the cubs, but we don't want them to be chasing and playing around at home, getting hurt or tripping. So we can only let them play outside!"
Luo Yurou nodded: "Where's your cub?"
Ruan Xiyue waved her hand: "Let the beast master take care of them! I have no patience for taking care of cubs!"
Luo Yurou rolled her eyes at Ruan Xiyue: "Yeah, yeah! You're so lucky! The beast mates you found all know how to treat females well!"
Ruan Xiyue frowned: "Don't the other female beastmen care about their females?"
Chu Jiayun looked at the speechless Luo Yurou, then at Ruan Xiyue, and had no choice but to say, "No, it's not that. The rest of us have at least three beast husbands. Yurou, for example, already has eight beast husbands."
"However, the more beastmen there are, the greater the consumption."
"Beastmasters need beast cores to advance their abilities, so they must hunt more."
"Well then, the beastman is busy hunting, so we'll have to take care of the cubs ourselves!"
Ruan Xiyue nodded: "That makes sense."
Luo Yurou sighed: "Isn't it all your fault?"
Ruan Xiyue looked shocked. Her eyes widened as she pointed at herself, her expression like she was sending a question mark emoji.
Luo Yurou gestured for Ruan Xiyue to sit next to her, and whispered, "Your husbands are all too dedicated!"
"Male, huh! They just love to compete and win! When my brother saw how hard you, the beastman, were working, he also started trying to level up."
"Gradually, my beastmen husbands also began to work hard to advance in rank. During the winter, the beast tide season, they were either patrolling or fighting off the beast tide."
"Several females from the female cave also went to the beast tide."
"I don't know what triggered it, but not only my beast tamer, everyone's beast tamers have started hunting like crazy!"
"Haven't you noticed? In the past, when hunting, they would go out in the morning and come back by this time in the afternoon."
Chu Jiayun nodded in agreement: "Yes, they used to like to come back early and cook all sorts of delicious food for us."
Luo Yurou sighed, "Now, they've already started gathering in distant areas to hunt! They haven't even finished eating the wild game meat from the winter! They're no longer hunting for food and shelter."
“These past few hunting trips have all been to distant places, a journey that takes two days and one night, or three days and two nights. After a hunting trip, they bring back more prey than they can eat.”
"I think we don't need to worry about the beast tide this winter at all! Even if some of the orcs go to the newly built beast city, we won't have to worry about not being able to defeat the beast tide in winter."
Chu Jiayun nodded: "With their hunting spirit, we definitely don't need to worry about the beast tide this year!"
Ruan Xiyue nodded, feeling that this was indirectly providing good guidance.
"Speak up! You wouldn't come looking for us if you didn't have something to do! Tell me, what ideas do you have that you want us to help you implement?" Luo Yurou asked.
Ruan Xiyue didn't mince words and got straight to the point, stating her thoughts.
Luo Yurou frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled: "So you're just going to grow up with your cub? Then you can just bring your cub over! Let them play together!"
Chu Jiayun remained silent, lost in thought.
Luo Yurou pursed her lips and asked, "You don't mean to remove my father from his position as clan leader, do you? You're... trying to cultivate your cub's own power!"
Chu Jiayun's eyes widened, and the other females were also stunned, sitting there motionless.
Is this something they can hear?
