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

Chapter 256 Dreams are the opposite

However, what Ruan Xiyue didn't know was that with Jiu Chen's current silver-level superpower, he already knew Qi Heng was there as soon as he stepped into the courtyard.

Ruan Xiyue's disappearance into the bathroom only somewhat calmed the jealousy surging in his heart.

Jiu Chen, feeling wronged, comforted himself in his heart: "My wife must care about me, otherwise she wouldn't have quietly chased Qi Heng away through the window."

Furthermore, they washed off all the marks on their bodies.

After Ruan Xiyue finished eating, Jiu Chen picked her up and carried her upstairs without saying a word.

Ruan Xiyue knows she's a bit of a jerk, but she's a jerk with great stamina!

It wasn't until Ruan Xiyue fell into a deep sleep that she regretted it. Jiu Chen had not only restrained his love for her, but he had also been very reserved in this aspect...

Ruan Xiyue slept until noon the next day when she woke up hungry. Duoduo quickly reported to her: "[Honorable host, the cubs you are carrying this time may be too good. There are only four cubs, and the nutrient solution in your pregnancy space has already increased by a quarter in just a few days.]"

Ruan Xiyue wasn't nervous at all; instead, she was very excited: [From now on, no need to report! Just add them directly!]

Jiu Chen looked worried as he held Ruan Xiyue's hand tightly.

Before Jiu Chen could finish saying "I'm sorry," Ruan Xiyue got up and hugged him, rubbing her face against his chest.

"I think I'm just too lucky with this pregnancy, which is why I'm always sleepy."

Jiu Chen felt that Ruan Xiyue was making excuses for his lack of restraint, which made him feel even more guilty.

Ruan Xiyue took out three energy fruits and started chewing them, the crisp chewing sound echoing in the quiet room.

"I'm hungry. Has Long Ze not returned yet?" Ruan Xiyue asked, her voice tinged with anxiety.

Jiu Chen quickly picked up Ruan Xiyue and said as he went downstairs:

"Not yet, I don't know if something has delayed it." His movements were gentle and careful, as if he were handling a precious treasure.

Jiu Chen took meticulous care of Ruan Xiyue like a baby, which made Ruan Xiyue feel incredibly warm.

After finishing her meal, Ruan Xiyue felt sleepy again soon after.

Before she fell asleep, she said to Duoduo: "If this baby didn't have four offspring with ancestral bloodlines, I would have eaten you alive in a fit of rage!"

After conducting further tests and comparing the data with previous findings, he whispered, "[You know what, I have a feeling they might really have four hosts with atavistic bloodlines!]"

After Ruan Xiyue fell asleep, she was plunged into a terrible nightmare.

She dreamt that Xia Weier was covered in blood, the blood like a red spring, gushing from his body, staining his clothes and the surrounding snow.

His guards were all killed by the orcs of the Red Fox tribe, their mutilated bodies scattered on the snow like toys carelessly discarded by demons.

The crimson bloodstains on the snow-white ground were like a tragic painting, depicting an extremely terrifying scene.

Startled by the scene, Ruan Xiyue sat up abruptly, her body covered in sticky sweat, her heart pounding as if it would burst from her chest.

Tears streamed down her temples and soaked her ears; her breathing was rapid, as if she couldn't breathe.

Jiu Chen was studying the spells on the animal skin scroll when he glanced up and saw Ruan Xiyue's disheveled appearance, which startled him.

Ruan Xiyue quickly tapped her earring, trying to contact Xia Weier.

However, Xia Weier did not respond for a long time, as if he had disappeared at the end of the world.

Ruan Xiyue threw back the animal-skin blanket, her eyes filled with fear: "Xia Weier is in trouble, I have to go find him!"

Jiu Chen frowned, quickly got up, and without saying much, just helped Ruan Xiyue pack her things.

He knew that Ruan Xiyue needed his support and help at this moment.

Just then, Xia Weier finally answered Ruan Xiyue's call.

"Wife?" Xia Weier's voice sounded weak, like a last response from someone who had exhausted all their strength.

"Where are you?" The moment Ruan Xiyue spoke, tears fell from her eyes. Her voice trembled and was filled with worry.

Xia Weier caught his breath and said, "I'll be back in about two more days."

Ruan Xiyue frowned, her tone full of disbelief: "We're leaving for the Lion Clan tribe in two days?"

Xia Weier, panting, said, "No! I was traveling just now. We have two more days before we return to the Lion Clan tribe."

Ruan Xiyue still didn't believe it, and she insisted on asking, "Where are you now! Which route did you take back to the Lion Clan tribe?"

At that moment, Long Ze's voice came from Xia Weier's side: "Tell her not to worry, we've already passed the Fox Clan tribe. If things go smoothly, we can get back in a little over a day!"

Ruan Xiyue frowned slightly, but then heard Xia Weier say, "Don't worry, it'll be quick. It's been snowing heavily these past two days, so we're traveling a bit slowly. We'll be home in a couple of days! Long Ze is with me!"

Ruan Xiyue was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back!"

Xia Weier and Ruan Xiyue chatted about other things for a while before disconnecting the call.

However, Ruan Xiyue was still uneasy. She took out her cloak, put it on, cupped Jiu Chen's cheeks, and kissed him: "I'm worried, I'll go check on him, I'll be there soon!"

After Ruan Xiyue finished speaking, she ran upstairs.

Because the Lion Clan tribe and Xiaweier's group are far apart, there is only fog here and no snow.

However, in the foggy weather, Ruan Xiyue could take off quickly without being detected by the orcs!

So Ruan Xiyue leaped up and flew into the clouds.

Her figure weaved through the clouds and mist, like a free bird flying towards Xia Weier.

Her heart was filled with worry and fear; she didn't know what awaited her.

Ruan Xiyue was fully dressed and traveling at a speed of four or five hundred kilometers per hour.

Duoduo constantly monitored the surroundings and reported back to Ruan Xiyue, noting where there were several orcs, which tribe they belonged to, or which type of wandering orc they were.

Ruan Xiyue narrowed her eyes slightly. There were just too many outsiders near the Lion Tribe and the Cheetah Tribe.

However, she ignored it and continued flying towards the fox clan tribe.

As night passed and the first rays of dawn bathed the glistening snow, Duo Duo reported: "At 11 o'clock, about 20 minutes past the hour, you'll see Xia Weier and the beastmen!"

Following Duo Duo's instructions, Ruan Xiyue flew towards the eleven o'clock direction.

She only felt relieved when she saw that Xia Weier and Long Ze were surrounded by more than forty orcs.

A sharp-eyed eagle-beastman on lookout in the air immediately spotted Ruan Xiyue, who was still moving forward.

Before he could even speak, Ruan Xiyue turned and left.

The eagle-orc quickly landed, circling low in the air: "There was a flying...orc ahead just now. He seemed to be wearing a large black cloak. He saw a group of orcs on our side and then left! There might be an ambush ahead!"
