Chapter 339 The Counter-Espionage Scheme (Bonus Chapter for Adding to Favorites)

Luo Yurou and Chu Jiayun got into Ruan Xiyue's wooden carriage as they wished. As soon as they got in, they drank the water that Ruan Xiyue had prepared for them.

"What's wrong with your bodyguard Qiu Ran? He hasn't come back yet. Did something happen to him?" Luo Yurou was overjoyed. She felt incredibly at ease with Ruan Xiyue around, so she naturally started chatting with Ruan Xiyue about random things.

Ruan Xiyue sighed: "Qiu Cici became pregnant a month ago, so they slowed down their journey. They will probably leave Qiu Cici in the Cheetah Lion Tribe, and then Qiu Ran will lead a group of purchased slaves to Hope Beast City."

Chu Jiayun sighed, "Your guard captain is very capable. If he hadn't already taken a female, I would have been quite interested in him."

Ruan Xiyue pursed her lips: "Then you have a chance."

Luo Yurou looked at Ruan Xiyue in surprise: "You're not on my side when there's such a good thing, you're saving it for Jiayun? Who's your best friend? This is really inconsiderate of you!"

Ruan Xiyue was speechless: "Chu Jiayun brought it up first, and you didn't say you were interested in him!"

Chu Jiayun said to Luo Yurou, "Can't we compete fairly? Let's hear what Xiyue has to say about why Qiu Ran doesn't have any females? Didn't they say they booked them a long time ago?"

Ruan Xiyue spread her hands: "Qiu Ran said that the female was unwilling to go to live in a faraway place with him, and besides, becoming the Holy Mother's guard might mean that he had already been played with by the Holy Mother. She didn't want Qiu Ran to be her first beast husband."

"Then, the female's family demanded that Qiu Ran present a betrothal gift, which had to be five cups of healing water, otherwise there was no point in discussing it."

Luo Yurou stared wide-eyed in disbelief, while Chu Jiayun was also stunned by the other party's shamelessness.

However, Luo Yurou first asked furtively, "You really... accepted Qiu Ran as a concubine?"

Ruan Xiyue looked at him with a disapproving expression: What nonsense are you talking about!

Chu Jiayun also looked at Ruan Xiyue with curiosity.

"Seriously? Aren't my beast husbands good-looking? Why would I take Qiu Ran as a concubine?" Ruan Xiyue didn't understand. Just what level of pervert was she in her best friend's eyes?

Luo Yurou then said, "Is it because your beast husbands are all good-looking, and Qiu Ran is also good-looking male, that we are curious why you didn't take him in?"

Ruan Xiyue rolled her eyes: "When I met Qiu Ran, I had just won over Jiu Chen! At that time, Jiu Chen was all I could think about. Then Qiu Ran acted like she was willing to be my bodyguard, willing to endure humiliation and be my beast husband, and that she would submit to me as long as I helped her sister get pregnant."

Chu Jiayun clapped her hands and spread them out: "So, you've already accepted it."

Ruan Xiyue pinched her philtrum: "Are you all alright? Back then, I had my most beloved beast husband in my heart, and I even told my other beast husbands not to be jealous. If a male who was unwilling came, would I bother to take him in? I'm quite proud, okay?"

Luo Yurou nodded knowingly: "So it's not that I didn't have any intention, I was just provoked, so I didn't take it!"

Ruan Xiyue rolled her eyes: "You can't say that. He's my subordinate. It's weird to take a subordinate as a beast husband. I still admire strength."

The fox and the treasure-hunting rat running outside the wooden cart immediately felt a sense of crisis.

Chu Jiayun nodded in understanding: "So Qiu Ran has separated from his childhood sweetheart?"

Ruan Xiyue nodded: "His female partner's fertility was not high to begin with. He felt sorry for his sister's situation, and by extension, he also felt sorry for that female partner. Having worked for me for so long, if he were to find a female partner who was not discerning, he would know very well that he would be thrown out of the center of power by me."

Luo Yurou nodded: "That's right! An excellent female may not have a high level of fertility, but she cannot be stupid."

Chu Jiayun chimed in, "With his female's brains, if she came to Beast City with him, and one day she suddenly made excessive demands on you as the captain of the guards' partner, I can't even imagine how Qiu Ran would handle it."

Ruan Xiyue nodded: "Yes. Regardless of whether that woman was forced to do this by her family or what, she didn't have the courage to break away from her family and leave with Qiu Ran. Instead, she allowed her family to make that kind of offer to Qiu Ran, so I don't think highly of her."

"If she really did get together with Qiu Ran, I probably wouldn't tolerate them making a single mistake. I wouldn't entrust my safety to a clueless guard captain. I love living too much."

Luo Yurou rolled her eyes: "Who wants to die like that?!"

Ruan Xiyue, Luo Yurou, and Chu Jiayun chatted for a while about their plans after arriving in Beast City.

The two females were already drowsy.

Ruan Xiyue got out of the wooden cart, glanced at the long queue, and then climbed back into the cart.

"At this speed, how long will it take to reach Beast City?" Ruan Xiyue asked.

[About a month. That's quite fast. When the lion tribe migrated, they moved much slower, taking about two months, because they had to care for the females and cubs.]

Ruan Xiyue nodded: [But, if there are no cubs or females to care for, it should only take half a month to arrive, right?]

[Yes, host.]

Ruan Xiyue put her cubs into her portable baby care park. The other cubs looked listless from the bumpy ride in the wooden cart, but thanks to Ruan Xiyue's specially made minced meat porridge, none of them got sick.

Even some ordinary cubs improved their health after eating the specially made minced meat porridge that Ruan Xiyue provided.

Ruan Xiyue didn't want to be grateful for kindness but resentful for disrespect, nor did she want to break the class rules of the entire beast world.

Therefore, she prepared half a can of energy milk powder for the children accompanying her own toddlers. However, she only prepared half a can of energy milk powder for the other 300-plus children.

Duo Duo, however, said: "Actually, these cubs are too weak to handle rich foods. If you give them a lot of energy-rich milk, their digestive systems won't be able to process it. The energy-rich milk powder you've prepared for them is just right to nourish their digestive system and boost their immunity."

Ruan Xiyue pouted: [Energy-boosting formula costs 10 points per can and comes with a free bottle. Without the bottle and nipple, it's 6 points. One meal costs me 6 points! In thirty days, the cub will need at least ninety meals! If these beastmen don't work properly for me when they arrive in Beast City, I'll be really resentful!]

Dodo, sporting a not-so-bright cat-like appearance, rolled its eyes: [Host, you look like a heartless capitalist right now!]

Ruan Xiyue felt that Duoduo was praising her, and smiled shyly: 【Thank you for the compliment.】

The guards sent by the Beast King escorted Ruan Xiyue and the others to Hope Beast City before preparing to leave.

Kui Yi even managed to stay in Hope Beast City by virtue of his fickle tongue and the fact that he had gained some of the trust of the Holy Mother Ruan Xiyue.

The other guards who left had reddened with envy!

When they left, Ruan Xiyue gave them several jars of thick medicinal liquid, telling them that if the liquid did not spoil or smell bad, giving it to the females would help them give birth to their own offspring.

The departing guards quickly used their ice-based abilities to freeze the medicine jar, and tearfully bid farewell to Ruan Xiyue.

Ruan Xiyue chuckled inwardly. Who said these orcs were necessarily the Beast King's guards? With such a favor, wouldn't they be enough to send a message when it matters most? Even if they couldn't send a message, surely they could at least say a word for him?
