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

Chapter 250 Schadenfreude (Bonus chapter for reader 7cat0719)

Lu Qixin was beaming, his eyes sparkling, and he kept taking things out of his storage bag as if reciting a menu.

He took out a whole bag of rice seeds, including a set of animal bone chopsticks. The variety was so great that he even pulled out a whole bag of them.

Ruan Xiyue didn't see Lu Qixin stop until he had emptied ten storage bags and her living room was completely full of things.

Ruan Xiyue couldn't help but frown, staring at Lu Qixin and waiting for him to continue.

Lu Qixin looked at Ruan Xiyue with a nervous expression.

Ruan Xiyue spread her hands: "Uncle Lu, you brought so many things... just so that I and Li Miao could become partners?"

Lu Qixin shook his head: "No, no, no! It's fine if we don't get married!"

Ruan Xiyue frowned even more. The things in this living room were enough to buy the murder of a medium-sized tribe.

Lu Qixin gave all of this to Ruan Xiyue... his intentions must be quite significant!

Seeing that Ruan Xiyue was puzzled, Lu Qixin quickly said, "This is the cost of raising the cubs!"

Ruan Xiyue squinted and remained silent.

Lu Qixin wiped the sweat from his forehead, his politeness bordering on obsequiousness: "We will not ask the cubs to be sent back to our tribe to be raised!"

"After spring, we will send another guard team! If Holy Consort Xiyue doesn't mind, we'll have to trouble High Priest Jiuchen to witness them making the Beast God Oath on the day the guard team arrives at the Lion Clan Tribe!"

"The guards sent here will henceforth belong exclusively to Holy Mother Xiyue! They will never harbor any disloyalty!"

"We just hope that the cubs can grow up healthy and safe under the nurturing of the Holy Mother Xiyue!"

Ruan Xiyue frowned: "So, you know that I gave birth to a cub with the ancestral bloodline of the Treasure-Seeking Rat Clan, is that right?"

Lu Qixin wiped the sweat from his forehead, nodded excitedly, his eyes were wet, and his humble voice became even softer: "Holy Mother Xiyue, may I see the little cub?"

Ruan Xiyue then understood why Lu Qixin had made such a big fuss.

It wasn't that Ruan Xiyue was overly vigilant; the main problem was how many offspring with atavistic bloodlines she had already given birth to.

No orc had ever suddenly been so obsequious and humble towards her.

So she got used to it and didn't think giving birth to a child with atavistic traits was anything special.

At most, when spending points, one might feel that the bloodline of the ancestral offspring is still worth more than the reward money!

Ruan Xiyue led Lu Qixin into the cub room. Several cubs were lying on soft animal skin cushions. They were less than a month old, and their fur was glossy and smooth, looking very soft.

Ruan Xiyue thought it looked pretty good, but Lu Qixin was a little nervous.

After hesitating for a long time, he asked in a low voice, "Can't the cubs...can't the cubs take human form?"

Ruan Xiyue raised an eyebrow. She then remembered that when beastmen gave birth to cubs, they usually raised them to the appearance of human cubs until they were one or three years old, at which point they could freely change between human and beast forms.

She was different from the others.

Ruan Xiyue didn't say anything, but reached out and patted the little bottoms of the four cubs. They then whimpered and turned into their baby form. After whimpering a couple of times, they couldn't wait to turn back into their animal cub form.

Ruan Xiyue then explained, "My cubs don't really like living in human form, mainly because it's inconvenient. The cubs are more comfortable running around in their animal form."

Seeing that the four cubs could freely transform into human form, Lu Qixin had no more concerns.

She nodded excitedly, "Yes, yes, yes! That's right! What Holy Mother Xiyue said makes sense!"

Lu Qixin wished he could look at her a few more times, and even better, hug her! But then he felt he was being a bit presumptuous, so he left.

However, when Lu Qixin left the cub room, he didn't forget to glance at another wooden crib.

At a glance, all the fox cubs were single-tailed!

One of them was from the sable clan. Does this mean Qi Heng's bloodline is inferior?

Lu Qixin didn't say anything, but the smug smile on his face was barely contained.

Back in the living room, Lu Qixin gave Li Miao a disdainful look, but Li Miao was capable!

It can contribute an excellent atavistic bloodline gene to their treasure-hunting rat tribe!

However, Li Miao was clearly useless! The Holy Female Ruan Xiyue completely avoided mentioning the matter of forming a partnership!

Lu Qixin's mind raced. He decided to send a message to the Treasure-Hunting Rat Tribe: those males who teach bedroom arts needed to be sent as soon as possible! Waiting until spring wouldn't work!

Ideally, Ruan Xiyue, the Holy Mother, would give birth to a child and also conceive Li Miao's offspring! What if another offspring with atavistic bloodline were born?

Moreover, how fragile are the cubs? There wasn't a single beastman watching over the cub enclosure. Lu Qixin wished he could tell Ruan Xiyue that he wanted to come and take care of the cubs, to provide them with personal care.

How can the cub enclosure function without orcs watching over it!

After hesitating for a while, Lu Qixin finally brought up the idea, adding, "If Xiyue Saintess feels that males are inconvenient, we can also send older females! This is so that we can better take care of the cubs."

Ruan Xiyue waved her hand: "No need. You've seen my cubs too. I've raised all of them to adulthood well, the ones playing in the living room."

“If your tribe sends an orc today, other tribes will follow suit and send orcs tomorrow.”

"At that point, my home won't even be my home anymore!"

"Don't worry, as long as Li Miao isn't cursed with any weird spells, my cubs will grow up healthy and strong! My cubs rarely get sick!"

Lu Qixin pursed his lips, his face full of worry, but he also knew that the Holy Mother Ruan Xiyue was good at raising children and that the cubs never got sick.

They had already found out everything about Ruan Xiyue's preferences, how she raised cubs, and so on.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent the planting seeds according to Ruan Xiyue's preferences!

Lu Qixin could only nod dejectedly, but he didn't forget to give a thumbs up, praising Ruan Xiyue for her thoughtfulness!

Lu Qixin was about to say something nice when there was another knock at the door.

Li Miao obediently went to open the door, and as soon as she opened it, she saw Qi Heng looking exhausted.

Qi Hengqiang walked in with a smile, followed by Dong Songlin and another orc that Ruan Xiyue didn't recognize.

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Ruan Xiyue found it interesting.

Qi Heng forced a bitter smile, while Dong Songlin's jaw was clenched, showing some dissatisfaction with the orcs behind him, his face showing signs of facing a formidable enemy.

The last orc to enter had a look of kingly disdain and anger on his face!

Lu Qixin originally wanted to leave, but seeing this situation, he quietly stood in a corner, looking like he hoped that others would not drive him away and could completely ignore him, as if he just wanted to squat in the corner and eat some melon seeds.

Li Miao raised an eyebrow, glanced at the three of them, and finally fixed his gaze on Qi Heng, his expression saying: Oh! You guys aren't here to find partners, you're here to cause trouble?
