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

Chapter 242 Trouble is coming

Qin happy nodded: "I know. With more orcs joining the bamboo salt business, the profits from bamboo salt will only increase!"

After seeing Qin happy off, Ruan Xiyue asked, "Why do I feel like Qin's mother has gained weight? Is it because I haven't seen her in so long that I'm mistaken?"

Qin Ye shook his head: "Mother is pregnant again, only a little over a month."

Ruan Xiyue was slightly taken aback.

Qin Ye shrugged: "Mother has never been able to give birth to a child for Third Father. This time she is pregnant with Third Father's child, so it can be considered that her wish has been fulfilled."

“I’ve been so busy taking care of the cubs these past few days, thankfully I have the help of my mother and third father. They came to thank you for giving the guards’ partners the medicine last time, didn’t I get one for my mother too?”

"My mother must have taken this medicine to get her body in good condition, which is why she was able to conceive again!"

Ruan Xiyue frowned slightly: "I'm just worried that my mother might not be getting enough nutrition."

Ruan Xiyue took out a pregnancy-stabilizing pill from her storage bag and handed it to Qin Ye: "Put this in water and give it to your mother to drink. It should ensure that she can give birth to her unborn child safely after she becomes pregnant."

Qin Ye looked at Ruan Xiyue with some surprise, but Ruan Xiyue reached out to Long Ze: "I'm so sleepy, I've been so tired and sleepy lately."

Qin Ye quickly picked up a stone cup, poured in water, put the pills into the water, and went to find Qin happy.

"You forgave her?" Long Ze asked.

Ruan Xiyue leaned against Long Ze's chest: "Yeah, I forgave him a long time ago. People seem to be like that; they're more likely to forgive others if they haven't suffered any real, serious harm."

Long Ze remained silent for a moment.

He whispered in Ruan Xiyue's ear, "I thought you forgave her because of me."

Ruan Xiyue nodded: "Actually, the Qin family's beast mother has always been very good to me. So, the first time I helped someone conceive, it was for her. Moreover, to repay her kindness to me and my sister, I gave her all the profits from the bamboo salt."

"At first, I thought we could continue to live peacefully like this. But then, your incident happened."

"I'm a very petty person. The fact that I can make peace with myself means accepting that I'm not a kind or good person."

"At that time, Qin's mother knew of your existence, but she did not punish the beastly husband who had been suffering for you but turned a blind eye."

“At that time, I took my anger out on her. But I didn’t hurt her; I chose to stay away from her.”

"You don't know how to handle the sudden affection they show you. They give you a way out because they are your parents, but you don't accept it, so they are disappointed in you."

This makes me very angry, even though it's unreasonable for me to be angry on your behalf from your perspective. But perhaps because I like you, when they resent you, I resent them even more.

Long Ze hugged Ruan Xiyue tightly: "This is not without reason. You and I are husband and wife, and I am happy that you care about my feelings."

"But I want you to be happy. If they're good to me, I'll accept it and I'll repay them in my own way. If they're not good to me, I'll ignore them. Don't take these things to heart. I just want you to be happy."

Ruan Xiyue shook her head: "Later, I stopped associating with them because of that incident where the Crab Tribe joined forces with the wandering beastmen. Although I was unharmed, we can't excuse their carelessness just because I managed to stay out of trouble."

"I'm a pretty selfish person. If someone can't handle a secret I tell them and it almost ruins me, then they don't deserve to know my secret again."

Long Ze kissed Ruan Xiyue's forehead: "What you did was protect yourself. How can that be considered selfish? If protecting yourself is selfish, then there are no selfish beastmen in the world."

Ruan Xiyue hugged Long Ze: "I'm the best in your eyes! You're such a love-struck fool!"

Long Ze kissed Ruan Xiyue's lips: "Yes, in my eyes, you are the best. You think you have fertility drugs, so you don't appreciate their value."

But you must understand, for the orcs who didn't have this, it was a change of fate. It was hope, a hope for which they would gladly pay any price.

"So, what you've given back to others is already quite a lot. It's only when you feel you haven't done enough for them, and can be even better to them, that you're truly grateful."

Ruan Xiyue blushed slightly, and couldn't help but click her tongue as she pulled the covers over herself: "You're just love-struck! You're just trying to make me love you even more!"

Long Ze put his arm around Ruan Xiyue, brushed the stray hairs from her forehead, and frankly admitted, "Yes, that's what I think."

Ruan Xiyue rolled her eyes at Long Ze: "Get some sleep! Keep an eye on the movements of the wandering orcs outside the tribe for me! Tomorrow, remember to have the guards sent by the Beast King deliver a message to him! If he doesn't uphold justice for me, then I'll do things my own way!"

Ruan Xiyue yawned and then fell asleep.

Looking at Ruan Xiyue's sleeping face and the dark circles under her eyes, Long Ze felt extremely distressed.

The messages the Beast King had received over the past few days were laid out one by one on his desk, his brow furrowed. The elders and chieftain of the Spirit Fox tribe had all been killed by Xia Weier, and the Spirit Fox tribe had sent accusations and lamentations.

Before even finishing a single animal hide scroll, three scrolls were issued in quick succession, more than half of which described the value that the Spirit Fox Tribe had created for the Beast God Continent, resisting a wave of beasts and protecting the peace of the region.

As a result, their elders and clan leader were killed by the Third Prince without a word.

Although the Third Prince said that they had conspired with the black witch doctor to cast a curse on his mother, the elders and clan chief were killed without even being interrogated before their deaths.

Is there some misunderstanding? Is the Third Prince acting too arbitrarily and autocratically?

Or is it that the Beast King has some dissatisfaction with their Spirit Fox tribe?

After reading the petitions on the three animal hide scrolls, the Beast King also received a petition from the Red Fox Tribe.

The Red Fox tribe claimed they had been attacked without provocation, and since they felt they had done nothing wrong, they requested the Beast King to send a guard to protect and investigate.

However, the secret intelligence the Beast King received from his undercover agents revealed that the Red Fox tribe had bribed wandering orcs to annihilate the Lion and Cheetah tribes.

He had been worried about whether Ruan Xiyue would survive the attack unscathed.

In the end, he never expected that the secret report he received would say that Ruan Xiyue was safe and sound. Several waves of wandering beastmen were all dead.

On the contrary, the Red Fox tribe was attacked during the beast tide season. Their homes were burned down, and they suffered over 5,000 casualties, with many more falling ill. They fear they will lose even more beastmen this winter!

Just as the Beast King was beginning to feel a sense of awe, he heard a guard at the door shout, "Report!"
