Chapter 332 Feeling Wronged (Bonus Chapter for Adding to Favorites)

Ruan Xiyue looked at a few more animal skin scrolls, frowning as she recalled the trial Xia Weier had attended more than a month ago.

Ruan Xiyue said in a low voice, "It seems that the Red Fox Tribe's ambiguous words have had an effect!"

Cong Xian, Qi Heng, and Li Miao were all somewhat puzzled. They looked at Ruan Xiyue, waiting for her to give an answer.

Ruan Xiyue then recounted the story of Xia Weier being "tried" in the Holy City.

Qi Heng pursed his lips. Ruan Xiyue glanced at him, took out two boxes, handed one to Qi Heng, and the other to Li Miao.

“There’s a ring and a pair of earrings in here.” Ruan Xiyue looked at them, paused, and then said, “This ring represents that you will be my beast husbands from now on. The earrings are for when you travel far away, so you can talk to me.”

"Of course, you can also contact each other." The enhanced functions after the system upgrade allowed the beastmen wearing earrings to contact each other on their own.

Looking at Ruan Xiyue from Xian's perspective, the ring not only signifies marriage, but can also pinpoint the location of one's beast husband.

Qi Heng and Li Miao readily accepted. Li Miao, who had long envied Cong Xian's fingers and ears, looked at them with envy.

Qi Heng knelt at Ruan Xiyue's feet, released his fox ears, lay on her lap, and wrapped his tail around Ruan Xiyue's calf:

"I thought you weren't planning on giving it to me. Turns out, I got a share too!"

Ruan Xiyue reached out and pinched Qi Heng's cheek: "You bewitching fox!"

Qi Heng stuck out his pink tongue and licked Ruan Xiyue's fingertip. He then held Ruan Xiyue's hand in his hands and gently licked and bit it.

Cong Xian narrowed his eyes, pinched Ruan Xiyue's chin, and gave her a light, fleeting kiss.

As they parted, he asked in a low voice, "What you meant earlier was that the elders of the Red Fox tribe were trying to draw the attention of all the tribes to you?"

Li Miao gritted his teeth in anger, glancing at Cong Xian and then at Qi Heng, his mind filled with nothing but hatred as he cursed them for their constant lust and the fact that they used methods he didn't know! Despicable!

Ruan Xiyue leaned lightly against Cong Xian's neck, breathing slightly, enjoying Qi Heng's leg massage service, her voice lazy yet carrying a hint of coldness.

"It was an open conspiracy for them back then. On the one hand, they wanted all the elders of the beast cities and tribes to see a secret about me that could save them from the inevitable fate of becoming slaves."

"On the other hand, it draws the attention of all the orcs to me."

"On another note, they can't avenge their grudge against me on their own. The fact that the other princes were willing to pardon the Red Fox tribe from becoming slaves after learning that the Beast Emperor was willing to expose my secret for the sake of the Red Fox tribe shows that the Beast Emperor values ​​me."

"And I am the Third Prince's consort. So, won't the other princes have any ideas?"

"He really is an old fox, cunning and treacherous!"

Ruan Xiyue chuckled softly, acknowledging her opponent's abilities.

His teeth clenched, but he held back for a moment before asking, breathing heavily, "What do you plan to do? Those beastmen from the Red Fox Tribe are truly incorrigible!"

Ruan Xiyue pinched Cong Xian's chest muscles to help him calm down: "Don't be angry."

"I plan to take advantage of the momentum that the Red Fox Tribe has created for me."

Qi Heng and Li Miao, who had been frowning and deep in thought, couldn't help but look at Ruan Xiyue with eyes full of questions.

"I'm going to send invitations to all the beast cities and tribes. In other words, invitation scrolls made of animal hide."

"This year we're moving to Hope Beast City. We definitely need to make proper preparations. But by the time we're ready, the winter beast tide season will be here."

"At that time, we couldn't invite them. We could only agree that next spring, those who wished to come to Beast City could bring beast cores, energy fruits, energy fruit cores, seeds of rare herbs, or whole medicinal plants..."

“I will give each tribe and beast city a list of things we hope the beast cities will accept.”

"Then, we'll also tell them that we'll be selling some small items at that time."

Ruan Xiyue looked at Li Miao: "Has the Treasure-Hunting Rat Tribe started building the Speedy Wooden Cart?"

Li Miao nodded: "They're building it. They have priests there, but only the high priest can inscribe those runes. They sent guards to Zhaonan Beast City to invite the high priest's team, and they should have invited the high priest by now."

Qi Heng was slightly surprised, and Ruan Xiyue looked down at Qi Heng: "If the Spirit Fox Tribe also wants to do this business, they can cooperate with me."

Ruan Xiyue chuckled: "This saves me a lot of advertising costs and time! The Red Fox Tribe wants to see me suffer a setback? I'm going to put on an unprecedented carnival!"

Cong Xian frowned slightly: "In that case, once our inner city is built, there might not be enough room for the many orcs and caravans that come next year."

Ruan Xiyue laughed: "Who gave them permission to live in the inner city? They should all be stationed outside the city! As long as our sacrificial and prayer plaza in the outer city can be completed before next year's banquet, that's fine!"

"By the way, let me promote the four colleges we're going to establish: a branch of the Witch Doctor's Hospital, a branch of the Priest's Hospital, a College of Plantation, and a College of Carpentry."

"We can start recruiting students the year after next."

Ruan Xiyue rested her chin on her hand: "Originally, I thought that once Hope Beast City was established, its reputation would spread within three years before students would gradually come to visit."

"The Red Fox Tribe did save me some time."

Li Miao frowned: "But if that's the case, the time is too tight. I accidentally saw the blueprints for the outer city, and your design for the outer city is too big. Can it be completed the year after next?"

Ruan Xiyue spread her hands: "So, we need the strong support of the Black Dog Tribe, the Tanuki Tribe, the Baboon Tribe, or the Bear Tribe."

“They are all large tribes. If orcs could come and help with the construction, it could be completed quickly.”

"If more than one-third of the orcs from all the surrounding tribes come to help, we hope that the Beast City will promise that these tribes will not need to pay us tribute."

Qi Heng and Li Miao were both surprised. The tribe paid tribute to the Beast City, which was a considerable income every year!

Moreover, not all of this revenue goes to Beast City. Beast City also has to hand over 40% to Holy City.

Cong Xian didn't react much, because Ruan Xiyue had already told them that Hope Beast City would not accept offerings from the surrounding tribes.

At the time, Ruan Xiyue also told them that what's free is the most expensive.

Although Cong Xian didn't understand, he would do whatever Ruan Xiyue said to help her.

Seeing that Cong Xian remained calm, Li Miao also kept a composed expression. Having some memories of Li Miao's remnant soul, he naturally knew that what's free is often the most expensive!

Although he didn't know how to put it into practice, his knowledge was no less than that of Xian Shoufu!

Qi Heng looked at Cong Xian Shoufu, who remained calm, and then at Li Miao Shoufu, whose expression was as usual. He seemed somewhat at a loss and aggrieved.

Qi Heng said pitifully, "Yue'er, the third and sixth beast husbands can understand it. Am I the only one worried that Yue'er will suffer? I don't understand. Can you teach me?"

Li Miao stared coldly and sharply at Qi Heng, cursing inwardly: You vixen! You'll come up with anything to get your hands on, won't you! How pretentious!
