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

Chapter 253 Qi Heng's Change (Bonus Chapter for Gu Pu Tickets)

Qi Heng left some close friends and confidants in the Spirit Fox Tribe, mostly orcs who could occasionally exchange a few words with the higher-ups.

The female elder of the Spirit Fox tribe was the aunt of one of my friends.

Qi Heng didn't believe that the Spirit Fox Tribe was truly brainless. If that were the case, the Spirit Fox Tribe was not far from its demise!

He still has some affection for the tribe that raised him.

Qi Heng also hoped that his tribe would remain strong. He did not want the Spirit Fox Tribe to become blinded by the Beast King's special tolerance and support, thinking that everyone should treat them with courtesy.

If the Spirit Fox Tribe were to treat Ruan Xiyue the same way as before, it would not only make her love life more difficult, but more importantly, it would not benefit the Spirit Fox Tribe at all!

Qi Heng whispered, "Can I see the cubs? I miss them so much."

Long Ze stepped aside, knowing Qi Heng's plan.

However, Long Ze also couldn't quite understand Qi Heng.

If Qi Heng had directly told the Spirit Fox Tribe that Ruan Xiyue was capable of giving birth to cubs with ancestral bloodlines, perhaps the Spirit Fox Tribe wouldn't have acted so recklessly and arrogantly towards Ruan Xiyue.

However, it's hard to say. The choice made by the Spirit Fox Tribe doesn't seem like a decision that a normally thinking orc would make.

However, one thing is certain.

Qi Heng had long known that Ruan Xiyue could give birth to cubs with ancestral bloodlines.

Because Qi Heng had seen Qin Ying several times.

After Qin Ying turned one year old, the red energy crystal on her forehead slowly became visible.

Anyone with eyes can see at a glance that Qin Ying has an ancestral bloodline.

However, Qi Heng obviously did not tell the Spirit Fox Tribe about this.

Regardless of his own concerns or other reasons, Qi Heng did not reveal Ruan Xiyue's most important trump card to the Linghu Tribe.

This trump card could make Ruan Xiyue the strongest holy maiden, sought after and worshipped by the orcs.

However, for a malicious orc, this trump card could also be a death sentence.

Long Ze wasn't sure whether Qi Heng didn't reveal the reason behind it, out of consideration for Ruan Xiyue, or for some other reason.

Qi Heng had solemnly sworn an oath to Ruan Xiyue, promising that he would never betray her as the Holy Mother, nor would he allow her to be in danger because of him.

Although his oath was not made under the witness of the high priest.

But he is willing to abide by it; it is a kind of behavioral constraint he sets for himself.

Long Ze was unaware of this matter, but judging from Qi Heng's various actions, he could be considered qualified to enter the profession.

Long Ze had discussed Qi Heng's affairs with Xia Weier.

Although the Spirit Fox Tribe and the Treasure-Seeking Rat Tribe are large tribes, they both prospered because of the Holy Female.

They themselves do not possess particularly outstanding core technologies or irreplaceable features.

If these two tribes outwardly act one way towards Ruan Xiyue while secretly causing trouble like the Red Fox tribe, they will join forces to encircle and annihilate one of the tribes.

Just like the Red Fox Tribe today.

Qi Heng looked at the four cubs of his bloodline in the cub enclosure. The heterochromatic fox cub blinked its big, bright eyes, one with a golden pupil and the other with a dark brown pupil.

Qi Heng couldn't help but reach out and stroke the cub's soft, fluffy fur, a loving smile on his lips, typical of a new father.

He touched each of the cubs, then turned to Long Ze, who was holding Ruan Xiyue, and whispered, "I haven't told any of the beastmen of the Spirit Fox Tribe that the Holy Female Xiyue can give birth to ancestral bloodlines."

"It's best not to spread this around. Let's wait until the Beast City is completed and the Holy Mother Xiyue moves in before we consider whether to let the other tribes of beastmen know."

"Otherwise, I worry that it will do more harm than good to Xi Yue, the Holy Female."

Long Ze nodded: "We understand that too."

Qi Heng opened his mouth, but still said, "I will come to see the cubs every three to five days. Before I become mates with the Holy Female Xi Yue, it is not advisable for me to come frequently."

"I'm afraid the other orcs will discover something and cause unnecessary trouble."

Long Ze looked at his fingertips, rubbed them for a moment, and replied indifferently, "That's your business."

Qi Heng pursed his lips, sighed, and asked, "Did you do what happened to the Red Fox Tribe?"

Long Ze shrugged, the hand that was rubbing his fingertips: "Who knows? Haven't I been in the tribe lately?"

Qi Heng was silent for a moment: "I understand. Uncle Dong Songlin has discovered some clues, and he will try his best to suppress some of the beastmen who do not value the Lion Clan and Cheetah Clan."

"If any of the beastmen in the Spirit Fox Tribe still look down on the Cheetah Lion Tribe just because they are a large tribe, then I will completely sever ties with them."

"I really want to become the beast husband of the Holy Female Xiyue, and I will try my best to bring some of the Spirit Fox Tribe's forces to join me!"

Long Ze waved his hand: "That's your business. We didn't become Yue'er's beast husbands by talking. We look at what you do, not what you say. Understand?"

Qi Heng nodded and left Ruan Xiyue's house.

Long Ze gently placed Ruan Xiyue in the guest room on the first floor. Ruan Xiyue woke up slightly and mumbled, "I get hungry so easily this time! Your cub might have a very good aptitude."

She mumbled something, popped an energy pill into her mouth, and fell asleep again.

Long Ze frowned slightly, gently placed his hand on Ruan Xiyue's lower abdomen, and got up to go upstairs to find Jiu Chen.

The pain that Jiu Chen felt was no less than that that that Long Ze felt.

Although his bloodline should be purer than Longze's, the sudden swelling and contraction of blood in the veins is something that most orcs can't withstand.

He reeked of the foul stench of blood.

However, he was in excruciating pain, as if his skin was being peeled off, which made him increasingly irritable.

Especially when he thought that Long Ze might be cuddling with Ruan Xiyue right now, all his bad emotions were magnified several times over by the pain.

As a result, Long Ze knocked on the door and then pushed it open and entered.

He looked at Jiu Chen in his beast form as a spirit cat, his fur standing on end and in an aggressive posture, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"I went through the same thing a few days ago. Don't worry, if you can pull through, you won't die!"

Jiu Chen winced in pain, making a threatening sound like a cat before it gets angry.

Long Ze waved his hand, closed the door, sat cross-legged, and asked lazily, "When are you going to take the exam for your Iron Cup High Priest? You're a bit slow!"

Jiu Chen endured the pain and groaned, "I'll go test it in the spring."

Long Ze looked at Jiu Chen: "Don't worry about your master. The Beast Emperor isn't stupid. If he really did something to your master, he would be digging his own grave. He probably just wants to know if the Life Stealing Technique has been broken."

Jiu Chen nodded: "I've figured that out too. That's not what I'm worried about for now..."
