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

Chapter 314 An Unexpected Divergence (Bonus Chapter for Yu Yu)

Ruan Xiyue rolled her eyes without any hesitation and said to Luo Yurou, "Now that the Cheetah Lion Tribe has merged, even if the Cheetah Lion Tribe absorbs the beastmen from the Fox Tribe, it will only have seven or eight thousand beastmen after I take some of them to the Beast City."

"At that time, I hope that at least 15,000 orcs in Beast City will swear an oath to the Beast God and pledge allegiance to me."

"What would I gain by removing your father from the position of clan chief?"

"Do you think I want to work myself to death? Do I look like a mentally unstable, beast-like person? You're insane!"

Luo Yurou frowned, pouted, smacked her lips, and thought about it and agreed.

"But didn't my father say that you plan to make our Cheetah Lion Tribe a large tribe within a few years?"

Ruan Xiyue raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyelids half-open, and looked at Luo Yurou with a dead fish-like expression: "Yes, I made the Cheetah Lion Tribe a large tribe, but did I turn the Beast City into an uninhabited Beast City?"

"If I can make the Cheetah Lion Tribe stronger, can I make the Beast City stronger too?"

"I can't even manage such a large beast city, how can I possibly extend my reach this far?"

Chu Jiayun was the first to breathe a sigh of relief, saying, "I knew it! You scared that orc to death! Why did you have to say something so careless!"

Luo Yurou scratched her head, puzzled: "Then why do you insist on picking some cubs with good aptitude to grow up with your cubs? And what's this... what are you calling it?"

"A cub daycare. It's a place where cubs can play together, learn together, eat together, develop relationships, and grow up together."

Luo Yurou was even more puzzled and looked at Chu Jiayun: "You say I'm not careful with my words, but what do you think she's after?"

Chu Jiayun looked at the other females, who all shook their heads; they didn't understand either.

Luo Yurou and Chu Jiayun stood up straight like meerkats, obediently waiting for Ruan Xiyue to reveal the answer.

Ruan Xiyue, resting her chin on her hand, found herself teasing Luo Yurou instead: "Guess? Why do you think I went to such lengths?"

Luo Yurou frowned: "How would I know what you're thinking! My old father always says I'm not even half as good as you!"

Luo Yurou was silent for a moment. Seeing that Ruan Xiyue really didn't intend to tell her the answer directly, she pouted and said, "No matter what you're planning, I don't think you're doing this well."

Ruan Xiyue looked eager to hear more: "Tell me about it?"

"Everyone cherishes their young! Even the females from those caves who work harder than us, after they've started a family, are still busy spinning cloth. But they would never entrust their young to you!"

Ruan Xiyue asked in confusion, "Isn't it annoying? Aren't the cubs annoying? They're so annoying when they start arguing!"

Luo Yurou's face darkened, and the other females' expressions also turned sour.

Ruan Xiyue was genuinely puzzled. She asked sincerely, "The cubs get up early in the morning and start running and chasing each other right in the house. A group of cubs run from one end to the other, like a thousand troops fighting."

"Just serving the rice takes more than half an hour! If I keep having more babies, within five years, just serving the rice might take more than an hour!"

"And then there's the infancy's endless curiosity about the world! Mother, what's this? Why is that? Why does the sun rise and set? Why must water be boiled before we can drink it..."

"Isn't it annoying? One question from each cub, just answering all the cubs' questions would take an hour or two!"

Luo Yurou and Chu Jiayun's somber expressions gradually turned into envy, and then into fear and embarrassment.

Chu Jiayun listened for a while, scratched her cheek, and said, "Then...you really do seem to...get annoyed, right..."

Luo Yurou rolled her eyes and said, "But we're not like you! Even though I'm so prolific, I only have six cubs! You don't think everyone is like you, needing to raise a whole litter of cubs, do you?"

Chu Jiayun's face suddenly filled with sympathy: "Xiyue! Your child is still young, it's just that this kind of problem is a bit troublesome. Have you thought about what you'll do when your child is six or seven years old!"

The other females also thought of this problem, and one exclaimed, "I remember that Holy Mother Xiyue has more than thirty cubs! When they stop eating meat porridge and start growing and need to eat a lot of meat... Holy Mother Xiyue, what will you do?!"

Luo Yurou half-opened her eyes, mechanically turned her head, and looked at Ruan Xiyue: "You don't want to find a companion for your cub just so that other cubs can hunt early to feed your cub, do you?"

Ruan Xiyue gasped and rolled her eyes rudely: "Are you alright? Are you alright? Why don't you eat some Liuliumei plums?"

Luo Yurou looked incredulous: "Then tell me, why do you want to open some kind of childcare center?"

Ruan Xiyue sighed: "I already told you, I can provide a very good environment for the cubs, and I can also find powerful beastmen to teach them a lot of things!"

"Even some of the high-energy, good stuff I feed my cubs can be shared with the other cubs who play and learn with them. Don't you think that's a good thing?"

Luo Yurou shook her head: "What you're saying comes at the cost of separating the cubs from us. Although they'll come back to us at night, I'm not too optimistic about this cub nursery you're talking about."

Chu Jiayun pursed her lips and asked, "Do you only accept cubs around three years old?"

Ruan Xiyue nodded: "Yes. For the first batch, I plan to find ten to fifteen cubs from the Spirit Fox Tribe, and the same goes for the Treasure-Seeking Rat Tribe. The Fox Tribe will have about ten slots."

Ruan Xiyue looked at Luo Yurou: "Do you really think this suggestion is bad?"

Luo Yurou frowned: "Hmm...it feels like this gives everyone a chance to take advantage. But if I think about it from the perspective of a mother beast who has to separate from her cubs, I definitely wouldn't be willing to do it!"

Ruan Xiyue was speechless. She wanted to ask Luo Yurou if she had gone crazy from giving birth to the baby!

Chu Jiayun said, "My brother's youngest son is already four years old. Can he go?"

Ruan Xiyue nodded: "As long as they're no more than five years old!"

Luo Yurou looked at Chu Jiayun in confusion: "Why do you want your brother's child to go? Will your sister-in-law agree? Don't let Ruan Xiyue cause discord between your brother and sister-in-law. You'll be the one who gets scolded!"

Ruan Xiyue really wanted to grab Luo Yurou's shoulders and shake her, but she held back. She counted on her fingers:

"I can make the children who grow up with my child have an advantage over other children of the same age when they take their first test of their ability level at the age of six! I can also make them master a lot of knowledge that only the offspring of chiefs and elders of other large tribes can master."

"Come on, tell me, what exactly do you think is wrong? Tell me! If I didn't consider you a friend, I would have turned around and left long ago! I'm so angry!"
