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

Chapter 247 The Falling Water Droplets (Bonus Chapter for Fate and Ice)

Long Ze is not like Jiu Chen; he will not unconditionally restrain himself and let Ruan Xiyue arrange things for him.

He walked over, picked up Ruan Xiyue, and pressed her onto the bed. As Ruan Xiyue struggled, he held her tightly and said, "Don't be angry."

"You have to tell me what's making you angry, right?"

Ruan Xiyue then shared her previous thoughts.

“I already feel guilty towards the cubs. And you’re so indifferent to the newborn cubs, shouldn’t I be angry?”

Looking at the incredibly serious Ruan Xiyue, Long Ze pulled her into his arms and whispered an apology: "I'm sorry, wife."

“I often feel guilty for not being able to spend enough time with them, and over time, I started to avoid them. This is my problem. I apologize.”

Ruan Xiyue raised an eyebrow: "Is it simply because of that?"

Long Ze rolled over, propping himself up on top of Ruan Xiyue, and looked at her: "In about five days, Jiu Chen and the others will be back. I want to possess you. The cub can stay with me in a few days, but you won't belong to me alone anymore."

Ruan Xiyue was both angry and annoyed. She pushed Long Ze and said, "What's wrong with you! Aren't you ashamed? You're proud of it! You'd rather spend more time with me than spend time with your son and daughter? You have no sense of responsibility!"

"How much time can you spend with the cubs! You don't love me or the cubs!"

Long Ze's fingers probed into Ruan Xiyue's palm, forcefully prying open her five fingers and interlocking them with hers.

"Spending time with cubs can be agonizing in just a few hours. You could say I don't love cubs that much, because sometimes I even resent them for taking away the attention you can give me."

"But what if you say I don't love you?"

"You heartless little brat!"

"Let me show you how much I love you through my actions."

Ruan Xiyue pushed Long Ze forcefully: "Don't do this! I'm talking to you about something important! You..."

As Long Ze made his promise, he gently nibbled on Ruan Xiyue's earlobe and down to her collarbone: "I promise that I will spend more time with the cubs every day from now on. I will correct all the things you said I did wrong, okay?"

Ruan Xiyue couldn't stand Long Ze's complete knowledge of her. She gritted her teeth and said, "How could you do this! You're shameless!"

Long Ze chuckled softly, his magnetic and seductive voice almost making Ruan Xiyue pregnant on the spot.

"Whether someone is shameless or not is not important; making your wife happy is the most important thing!"

That's how Long Ze subdued Ruan Xiyue. He also kept his word, spending half of his daytime with the cubs.

Ruan Xiyue paid a huge price for this. She lay on the bed rubbing her lower back, unable to understand how things had come to this!

[Dear host, you did not take the fertility pills this time, so Longze Beast Husband is only carrying two cubs this time.]

Ruan Xiyue frowned: [It would be better to take a multi-pregnancy pill! Getting pregnant with multiple babies at the same time would earn more points!]

[The remaining points from the second campfire gathering and the birth of cubs by the female crocodile tribe are a net profit of 10,000 points more than your initial investment!]

[If you're worried about accumulating points, you could host several bonfire parties throughout the year!]

Ruan Xiyue waved her hand: [Things are valued for their rarity! Besides holding a separate event for the female members of the guard team each year, once the new beast city is built, we can just hold a bonfire gathering once a year!]

Long Ze prepared the meal, discussed with the cubs that they could play by themselves for a while, and then carried the fried meat and stir-fried vegetables to Ruan Xiyue's room.

"Honey, dinner's ready."

Ruan Xiyue glared at Long Ze: "I won't eat! If I eat, you'll eat me! I won't eat!"

Long Ze placed the food on the bedside table and pulled Ruan Xiyue into his arms: "What makes you think that if you don't eat, I won't eat you?"

Ruan Xiyue struggled angrily in Long Ze's arms: "Then I won't eat! You can try to exhaust me to death!"

Long Ze held Ruan Xiyue tightly, making no attempt to hide the consequences of her twisting and struggling.

Then he leaned down and whispered in Ruan Xiyue's ear, "Stop fooling around, eat your food first. We'll play with the cub for a while later."

Seeing Ruan Xiyue's resistant expression, Long Ze said again, "You've had a hard time giving birth to the cub. You should rest after you finish eating. I'll go and keep the cub company, okay?"

Ruan Xiyue then picked up the food from the bedside table and began to eat it in large mouthfuls.

Long Ze and Ruan Xiyue's shameless days didn't last long, as Jiu Chen and the others returned with the beastmen stationed to guard against the beast tide.

After taking a hot shower, Jiu Chen came out of the changing room wearing long animal skin trousers.

Ruan Xiyue looked at Jiu Chen's half-dry black hair, where water droplets still clung to the tips, and some water droplets slid down Jiu Chen's angular features.

Some water droplets followed Jiu Chen's temples, down his Adam's apple, across his collarbone, past the double doors, rising and falling on his uneven abdominal muscles, and finally down his six-pack.

Ruan Xiyue couldn't help but clear her throat softly.

Before Ruan Xiyue could find a topic, Jiu Chen said, "I think that in the next few days, several orc tribes that are temporarily staying here will send messages back to their tribes."

Ruan Xiyue's idyllic feelings vanished almost instantly.

Jiu Chen dried his hair with a linen towel, walked to Ruan Xiyue's side, picked her up from the sofa, placed her slightly cool feet on his stomach, and continued:

"Qi Heng and Li Miao can find out the attitudes of the Spirit Fox Tribe and the Treasure-Seeking Rat Tribe. It's much harder to figure out the attitudes of the Fox Tribe, the Dog Tribe, and the Deer Tribe's beastmen."

"Once spring arrives, the Cheetah Tribe and the Lion Tribe should merge as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, if another tribe proposes a simultaneous merger of the three tribes, it will cause some trouble. It will hinder the integration process."

Ruan Xiyue leaned against Jiu Chen's chest, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat, and nodded: "Then remember to tell Cong Wen and Uncle Luo that the reunification of the two clans doesn't mean we have to submit a memorial to the Beast King, prepare for the sacrificial ceremony and the relocation, and go through a lot of complicated procedures, right? Remember to tell them to get started as soon as possible."

"What I mean is, when the two tribes merge, let's also hold a bonfire gathering after the spring!"

"This is both lively and festive! What do you think, Chenchen's husband?"

Jiu Chen nodded, playing with Ruan Xiyue's fingers: "Okay, I'll talk to them about this again tomorrow. Because I feel that Qi Heng and Li Miao will be here soon, and they might bring some news."

Ruan Xiyue thought for a moment and nodded, considering the recent reactions of the two tribes before deciding to discuss the details of merging the tribes with Cong Wen and Luo Qizhao tomorrow.

Just as Jiu Chen was thinking about whether to carry Ruan Xiyue back to the room to rest for a while, there was a rapid knocking on the door.
