Chapter 347 Fall
Chapter 347 Fall
Ruan Xiyue told Luo Yurou about her plans: high-end porcelain shops, wool product shops, fabric and clothing shops, daily necessities shops, and exquisite bowls and plates shops, etc.
Luo Yurou asked in confusion, "Why are there vegetable shops and fruit shops?"
Ruan Xiyue looked at Luo Yurou: "The pace of life in Beast City is definitely different from that in the tribe. In the tribe, we can go out and pick things in an hour or two. In Beast City, it takes an hour or two to find vegetables and fruits before you come back, and a whole day has passed."
Luo Yurou nodded: "Right now, there aren't any live ones being assigned. Most of them are female foxes and female spirit foxes. Won't they be dissatisfied with this arrangement?"
Ruan Xiyue thought for a moment and said, "Find someone to do a survey. Min Qianhua is out of the question, she's about to give birth. Find the female in charge of the Spirit Fox Tribe. Have her do a survey to see who wants to learn weaving, who wants to learn ceramics, and who wants to pick fruits and vegetables. Make a list."
Luo Yurou was dumbfounded, pointing at herself: "Me? Me?"
Ruan Xiyue nodded: "That's right. I'm only responsible for overseeing the general direction. You'll have to handle the communication of these details. You're my friend and a core member of the Cheetah Lion Tribe, so it's very suitable for you to handle the negotiations."
Luo Yurou thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I'll go talk to them. If things don't go well, since it wasn't your decision, there's still room for negotiation if they're dissatisfied. I'll go then!"
Ruan Xiyue whispered to Luo Yurou, "Go find the females who aren't pregnant and ask them to come to the council hall to find you. Just wait in an empty meeting room in the council hall. You're pregnant! Don't rush around like that!"
Luo Yurou patted her head: "Right! You've thought of everything!"
Throughout the inner city, all the orcs seemed to be busy. Each orc had their own tasks and work, except for Ruan Xiyue, who was strolling around the orc city, looking here and there.
She even went outside the city and saw Jiu Chen leading the high priests, diligently carving runes on the stones.
The parrot-tribe orcs flew back to report to their leader where more suitable stones could be found. The mammoth-tribe orcs, in their animal forms, followed the parrot-tribe's guidance to retrieve the stones.
Ruan Xiyue watched for a while and saw the patrol team escorting the guards out of the city during the change of guard duty. She then noted down some things that needed improvement and attention and turned back.
All the beastmen were exhausted by evening, but Ruan Xiyue had not yet returned.
Just as Cong Xian and the others were feeling guilty and wanted to go find Ruan Xiyue, she strolled back.
Ruan Xiyue wrote down the oversights in the guard deployment on the animal skin scroll and handed it to Qin Ye. She also wrote down the areas in the Beast City that were poorly planned and handed them to Cong Xian.
Then, she said to Qi Heng and Li Miao, "Tonight you two need to take a kind of medicine. It will be very painful after taking it, but it will be very beneficial to you. Are you willing to take it?"
Qi Heng and Li Miao agreed to eat without even thinking.
Ruan Xiyue kissed Jiu Chen: "I don't know much about things on your end, so I can only rely on you. Thank you for your hard work."
While Ruan Xiyue was busy running around like a headless chicken, Xia Weier and Long Ze, who were away, had gone through countless hardships.
Xia Weier was right. After the birth of the Moon Rabbit cub on the Crown Prince's side, Xia Weier began to face more assassination attempts.
Long Ze, on the other hand, was undergoing daily training, from the dragon race's specialized fighting techniques and how to maximize the dragon race's advantages to the transmission of innate abilities.
Long Ze must pass the test before he can leave the trial grounds.
Only the Beast King enjoyed the peaceful days alone.
But this was only a facade. He burned the animal skin scroll that recorded the technique of seizing life force.
However, he could never forget that spell.
A cub with better potential can make him younger and live longer.
For cubs with slightly lower aptitude, it can only extend their lifespan by about one year, or at most three years.
Looking at the plan in his hand, the Beast King thought, "If the Holy Mother Ruan Xiyue can really cultivate a herb that increases the probability of females giving birth to female offspring..."
The Beast King often sat in the garden, gazing at the bright moon in the sky.
He wanted to ask the Beast God why such a great temptation was placed in front of him.
The Beast King wanted to wait until the guards returned so he could personally inquire about the situation before making a decision.
Li Miao and Qi Heng both consumed the talent enhancement pill, neither of them having imagined it would be so painful. It felt like their muscles were being torn apart, then salt was rubbed into them, and then they were torn apart and reassembled again.
It's the kind of pain that's enough to make them faint, yet can also wake them up.
After they had experienced this inhuman torture that nearly drove them to the brink of collapse, making them wish they could just die.
They washed away the filth all over their bodies and could clearly feel the difference.
Ruan Xiyue didn't rest for a long time, spending half a day choosing between Qi Heng and Li Miao, and finally letting the two of them play rock-paper-scissors to decide whose baby she would carry this time.
As a result, Li Miao won the heart of the beauty, and Qi Heng was so angry that he almost hated his own long fingers: they must be too long, which is why he reacted so slowly!
【Duoduo, how many babies am I pregnant with this time? Can you tell if there's any atavistic blood?】
[My esteemed host, I know you're anxious, but please don't rush. Yesterday you were pregnant with triplets, and our initial assessment is that they are two females and one male. Tonight, you are also pregnant with triplets, but we cannot yet determine their sex. We will provide you with sufficient data tomorrow.]
Ruan Xiyue nodded. She felt that the Beast King might not be so easy to fool next time he came, which made her a little anxious.
Ruan Xiyue drifted off to sleep uneasily, as if she had sunk to the bottom of the sea the moment she entered the dream.
The real feeling of suffocation left her bewildered; she couldn't understand how she had ended up at the water's edge, or how she had fallen into the water.
She struggled for a moment, as if she could breathe freely in the water.
She fell from the bottom of the water into a magnificent palace.
The palace is in the European architectural style, magnificent and extremely luxurious.
The pillars were inlaid with pearls of the same color, each one plump and about the size of half a fist.
Pink pearls adorn a pair of pillars, gold pearls adorn a pair of pillars, purple pearls, black pearls, blue pearls, green pearls...
Ruan Xiyue had no idea that pearls came in so many colors.
She was wearing a sheer, ethereal dress.
She admired it for a while, then got a little tired of it.
"Have you appeared in my dreams several times already?" Ruan Xiyue asked, but she used a tone of certainty.
There was no response from the empty palace.
Ruan Xiyue walked up to the shimmering, multicolored seashell in the center of the hall. Just as she was about to reach the enormous seashell, a voice suddenly rang in her ears:
"So, when do you plan to keep your promise?"
