Chapter 276 She's Willing to Play Along with Me! (Bonus Chapter for Lu Li, the Lucky Koi)
Ruan Xiyue's legs went weak from Long Ze's kisses. She wished she could cling to him and not let him leave, or at least take her with him.
Longze noticed the reluctance in her eyes. He kissed her eyelids and said, "I'll go check on them. If they're useful, I hope they can become useful orcs to me."
"At the very least, I need to find out why our cubs were struck by lightning at birth. Did that affect their future abilities or anything like that..."
Ruan Xiyue pursed her lips and sighed, "Alright. Thank you for your hard work."
Long Ze kissed Ruan Xiyue's cheek: "Your husband is gone. If you miss me, you can contact me anytime."
Ruan Xiyue's reluctance and sadness subsided somewhat.
After Long Ze left, Ruan Xiyue clung to Qin Ye.
It would be impossible for Qin Ye to say that he was completely unmoved.
He could only let Ruan Xiyue call his name over and over again on the bed, just to confirm whether Ruan Xiyue wanted him or was missing his elder brother through his face.
On one occasion, Ruan Xiyue deliberately mischievously called out Long Ze's name in an attempt to add some fun to the couple's relationship.
Unexpectedly, Qin Ye immediately became dejected. (Detailed descriptions of dialogue are not allowed, otherwise it won't pass. Sorry. Readers, please use your imagination!)
This really startled Ruan Xiyue...
Did she ruin her husband with just one sentence?
She had to coax and kiss him for several days before Qin Ye's eyes were once again filled with burning passion for her.
That day, Ruan Xiyue was summoned to the council hall by Cong Wen and Luo Qi.
Li Miao stood in front of Qin Ye: "Don't you think you've been monopolizing Yue'er for far too long?"
Qin Ye raised an eyebrow slightly: "It's her who's been dominating me these past few days, not me dominating her."
Li Miao narrowed his eyes involuntarily and sneered, "Don't think I didn't see through your tricks! You did it on purpose! The look of disappointment you put on the other day was just a facade; you only kept her by your side through those tricks!"
Qin Ye chuckled lightly: "Do you think Yue'er doesn't know? But she's willing to coax me, she's willing to play along with me."
Li Miao was so angry he was about to explode. He glared at Qin Ye, gritting his teeth so hard he almost broke them!
Qin Ye sneered: "You think my wife can't see through my tricks? She can! But in order to make me feel her love, she is willing to coax me and happily stay with me every day."
Li Miao felt that he would definitely take revenge before he angered him to death!
Ruan Xiyue doesn't love him, but as long as Ruan Xiyue can fall in love with someone else, Qin Ye will no longer have the confidence to be so arrogant!
So, Li Miao walked towards the place where the Spirit Fox tribe was temporarily staying.
As soon as Ruan Xiyue entered the council hall, all the tribal leaders turned to look at her.
The look in her eyes was as if she were a piece of delicious Tang Monk flesh.
Duo Duo immediately boasted: [Dear Host! This time, the healing water, calculated and formulated by Duo Duo for you, was drunk by 3,916 females, and a total of 3,792 females successfully conceived!]
Everyone greatly admires the host's healing water!
Ruan Xiyue walked into the head seat of the council hall with a smile, unmoved.
Cong Wen and Luo Qizhao were all smiles, their faces flushed with excitement, their blood circulation accelerated, and their entire necks turned red.
They quickly seated Ruan Xiyue in the head seat.
In other beast cities, if the Holy Mother sits in the main seat, it is because the beastmen with real power have given her that position to save face for her.
However, in the current situation, all the orcs willingly believe that the Holy Mother Ruan Xiyue should be highly revered!
Once Ruan Xiyue sat down, everyone was excited and eager, but no one knew who should speak first to say what they wanted to say.
Lu Qixin of the Treasure-Hunting Rat Tribe quickly launched into a spiel of flattery, and Dong Songlin of the Spirit Fox Tribe was not to be outdone, launching into a barrage of elaborate boasts.
The other tribes, far from feeling that they were stealing the spotlight, were actually grateful that they had started talking, and they all praised Ruan Xiyue in turn.
From Ruan Xiyue's attire to her hard work and achievements, the praise was thorough and to the fullest extent.
As long as she can bring benefits, everyone seems to think it's only natural to praise her!
Ruan Xiyue smiled and patted her hand, and everyone stopped praising her.
"I know everyone is very excited because they have seen the healing water's effects!"
"If the assistance from the Spirit Fox Tribe can arrive soon, we hope that Beast City can be completed by July or August!"
Ruan Xiyue said calmly, "Once Beast City is completed, in order to improve relations between the various tribes, we hope that Beast City will prepare to hold a large bonfire party in the sacrificial square outside the city."
"At that time, I plan to bring out even more healing water. My beast husband, Jiuchen, has a master whose blessing is more powerful than mine. I will invite you all to bring two hundred females from your tribes."
"Furthermore, we hope that once the Beast City is established, we will not collect any tributes from tribes that want to cooperate with us within three years."
Ruan Xiyue's words were like adding a spoonful of water to a frying pan.
The team leaders instantly forgot that their original purpose was to ask Ruan Xiyue to cultivate herbs that would promote the birth of female offspring.
They were all very interested in what Ruan Xiyue had mentioned about not having to make offerings!
Each tribe pays tribute to the nearby beast city every year. Let's not say it's as much as 50,000 orange-tier beast cores, but it's at least 10,000 to 20,000 orange-tier beast cores!
If Ruan Xiyue could be exempted from this considerable offering, then the various tribes could continue as usual, and their lives would not be affected by any burden.
After the Beast City opens to trade, the nearby tribes will be able to improve their living standards!
"May I ask, Holy Mother Xiyue, how do you intend to cooperate with Hope Beast City?"
Ruan Xiyue smiled slightly: "You can discuss the specifics of the cooperation with Clan Chief Luo Qizhao and Clan Chief Cong Wen! There are many ways to cooperate, not just one. You can choose whichever you like. There are no mandatory requirements."
Some tribal leaders who were wary of Ruan Xiyue making any excessive demands couldn't help but become interested!
If there's no mandatory requirement and they have a choice, they feel more respected.
Another tribal leader asked, "What if we can't find a suitable solution for our tribe among the various cooperation options?"
Ruan Xiyue maintained her gentle smile: "Then this tribe only needs to send three hundred orcs to join the Beast City's guard. Moreover, the orcs who join the Beast City's guard will enjoy two-thirds of the benefits of my own guards."
"However, tribes that don't cooperate with Beast City won't enjoy special treatment at events like bonfire parties and market fairs. We simply won't provide healing water to such tribes. Otherwise, there's no other impact."
“This isn’t an impact? This is absolutely unacceptable!” said an orc from the gerbil tribe.
