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

Chapter 422 Eliminating a Worry in My Heart

The bear clan chief finally nodded in agreement, but she added, "But my cub is still a child..."

Ruan Xiyue waved her hand: "We'll wait until after his coming-of-age ceremony before they get married."

Even the most greedy Bear Clan Chief could see that Ruan Xiyue wouldn't offer her any higher terms.

She had no choice but to leave the room somewhat awkwardly, but she kept looking back, perhaps with a premonition that she didn't really want to leave.

However, when the bear clan chief saw Ruan Xiyue's dark eyes staring straight at her, she still left the room.

Ruan Xiyue took out a soundproof plate and said to Li Miao, "I remember you used to like to secretly watch me, and you even mustered up the courage to give me a gift."

“I didn’t accept it, not because I didn’t like it, but because I know myself and I can’t focus on liking someone. Later, something unexpected happened, and everyone was struggling to survive every day. I never thought that you would rush to me at the last moment and go to the underworld with me.”

"Perhaps it's lucky that we came into this world together. I hope you can accompany me through this lifetime."

“I know you may be very weak now, but I have already said these words. If Xiong Meng defeats you, the first thing he will do when he wakes up is to tell his mother what I did.”

"Can you defeat him for me and become my last beast husband?"

As Ruan Xiyue spoke, she continued to unleash her healing powers on Xiong Meng.

Duo Duo reported in Ruan Xiyue's mind: [It worked! Although the host's words weren't very moving, Li Miao seems to be buying it. His soul energy is starting to grow stronger, desperately clashing with Xiong Meng's soul energy. Moreover, Li Miao's soul energy is becoming increasingly powerful, rapidly absorbing and converting it.]

Ruan Xiyue nodded: "Would it be helpful to give him a healing pill now?"

Duo Duo frowned: [The avian virus in his body is almost gone, and since it's not related to his injuries, it has some effect, but not a significant one.]

Ruan Xiyue thought for a moment, but still didn't save the 20 points, and stuffed one into Xiong Meng's mouth.

Ruan Xiyue sat quietly for a while, then got up, somewhat weakly put away the soundproof panel, and slowly opened the door.

"I'm feeling a little unwell..." Ruan Xiyue said, then fainted.

Jiu Chen caught Ruan Xiyue as she slid downwards: "Yue'er!"

The Xiong clan chief didn't understand what Ruan Xiyue had said to her son. He looked anxiously at his son, who was lying on the bed with a furrowed brow and covered in sweat, and then at Jiu Chen, who had taken Ruan Xiyue to the next room.

Both the Silver Cup High Priest and the Silver Cup High Priest examined Ruan Xiyue's condition.

The Silver Cup Great Healer frowned: "Holy Consort Xiyue is somewhat weak due to excessive energy use."

The High Priest of the Silver Cup glanced at the throbbing in Ruan Xiyue's abdomen: "This might affect the cub's aptitude..."

The bear clan chief overheard this at the door and was so frightened that she withdrew her foot and hurriedly ordered the bear clan beastmen who came with her to get some high-level energy fruits.

Jiu Chen put one of the high-grade energy pills that Ruan Xiyue had given him into Ruan Xiyue's mouth.

A group of orcs watched Ruan Xiyue silently, fearing that something might happen to her.

However, after consuming the energy pills that Jiu Chen fed her, Ruan Xiyue recovered in no time.

After she woke up, she asked Duoduo, "How was it? Did my fainting spell have a big impact on Li Miao?"

Duo Duo nodded frantically: 【Huge! Huge! He has completely devoured Xiong Meng's soul, but his own remnant soul is also badly injured and is currently recovering.】

Ruan Xiyue relaxed a little: "Luckily, I told you not to immediately replenish my energy with top-tier pills. Otherwise, his chances of winning would have been really slim."

Duoduo sighed: "The way the host schemes about everything... it's really... hard to describe!"

Ruan Xiyue rolled her eyes: [You don't scheme! You're a system, how can you survive without scheming? Your code is all about calculations!]

Duo Duo left looking aggrieved, and only then did Ruan Xiyue feed herself another top-grade energy pill.

Ruan Xiyue's stomach felt a little bloated from the energy, but the feeling of fullness and gas quickly disappeared.

Ruan Xiyue frowned, but still pretended to be weak as she looked at Jiu Chen: "Don't be nervous, I'm fine."

Jiu Chen pursed his lips and looked at the Silver Lamp Great Healer. After examining Ruan Xiyue's body, the Silver Lamp Great Healer said in surprise, "Just now, Holy Mother Xiyue was very weak, but now she is..."

Jiu Chen turned to look at the Silver Lamp Great Healer, and she quickly said, "The faster recovery may be due to the pills you made yourself, but you still need to be careful. Xi Yue, the Holy Queen, will give birth to her cubs in a little over half a month. It's not good to worry and overwork yourself like this."

The Silver Cup Great Healer gave a few more instructions, then led the other great healers to see Xiong Meng.

The High Priest of the Silver Cup didn't move forward. Everyone guessed that the pill Ruan Xiyue ate might have been given to her by the Beast God to save her life.

Therefore, they didn't want to make this public, to avoid some foolish people having any ulterior motives.

The High Priests of the Silver Cup received news that the Beast God might have gone to the battlefield. Because the Beast God had drawn a large number of believers, the priests had a feeling that the Beast God might be in trouble.

The high priests knew in their hearts that it was one thing for them not to want the Beast God to interfere too much in the affairs of the Beast God Continent. However, they dared not imagine what kind of changes would befall all the orcs if the Beast God were to fall into misfortune.

They subtly inquired about Jiu Chen's intentions, and Jiu Chen remained silent for a moment before only requesting the High Priest of the Silver Cup to expand the propaganda of the Beast God's faith.

Seeing Jiu Chen's solemn expression, the High Priest of the Silver Cup dared not dwell on their premonitions.

Therefore, they are now treating Ruan Xiyue with exceptional politeness and care.

The Xiong clan chief entered carrying a stone tray of high-grade energy fruits. After thanking Ruan Xiyue repeatedly, he left her room and returned to Xiong Meng's side.

Ruan Xiyue sighed, took out the square plate and said to Jiu Chen, "I bought her son's life at a high price."

Jiu Chen held Ruan Xiyue close, letting her forehead rest against his heart: "Don't say that. The young patriarch of the Xiong clan was already nearing the end. If you hadn't gotten involved, he would have died anyway. Don't feel guilty."

Ruan Xiyue looked up in surprise: "You weren't like this before. You had a great love for the orcs."

Jiu Chen's lips twitched bitterly. He held Ruan Xiyue in his arms and pressed his lips against her forehead: "I used to have very high moral standards, but I'm more afraid of making you unhappy. As long as you want, my bottom line can change for you."

Ruan Xiyue wrapped her arms around Jiu Chen's waist: "No, I still prefer your radiant and gentle self. I will try my best to do more good deeds in the future and bring more positive influence to the Beast World. I just... I just didn't want to lose Li Miao. So I did something evil. I'm sorry."

Jiu Chen kissed Ruan Xiyue's forehead: "Don't say sorry. You did nothing wrong. If killing one person could save you, I think I would do the same."
