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

Just as Qin Ye and the others fell silent, carefully choosing their words, Qi asked them directly, "Ruan Xiyue wants to give birth to cubs for me as soon as possible because the Beast King has mastered the Life Stealing Technique."

“She cannot tolerate the possibility that the Beast King has his eye on her cubs, so she needs my help.”

Qi did not mock Qin Ye and the others; he merely stated the facts.

But Qin Ye and the others suddenly felt ashamed.

Qi left with the final words: "I will try my best to control the energy so that she can be healthy during this pregnancy."

Qi nodded slightly and arrived at Ruan Xiyue's bedside in an instant.

The baby mermaid was still trying its best to hug the granary and drink milk.

Ruan Xiyue felt a slight pain and couldn't help but complain to Duo Duo: "Duo, I never felt pain when the baby merfolk drank milk before, so why does it hurt when the merfolk baby drinks milk?"

Duo Duo replied earnestly: "My esteemed host, the system could previously block the pain caused by the baby's suckling, but the problem is, mermaid babies aren't ordinary babies; Duo Duo can't block that out."

Qi seemed to sense it, and he gently stroked Ruan Xiyue's chest.

A cool sensation completely relieved Ruan Xiyue's pain.

Next, Ruan Xiyue took birth control pills and stayed home to feed her cubs with peace of mind.

Furthermore, to ensure that the other cubs would not be captured by the Beast King, she placed the portable cub paradise door, which was a reward for this cub birth, in the last cub room.

In this way, all the cubs whose scents have been recorded can go in and play. The companions from the fox clan, the cheetah lion clan, the spirit fox clan, and the treasure-hunting rat clan can all go in.

Ruan Xiayi, Ruan An'an, and Ruan Xiabo all had their barrier functions replaced with ordinary cubs by the system using Ruan Xiyue's points.

Therefore, none of the other cubs noticed their problem.

Ruan Xiyue was very satisfied with this, which put her at ease.

However, as the days went by, Ruan Xiyue felt more and more uneasy.

That day, Ruan Xiyue looked at Qi, who was holding a mermaid cub and drinking milk again, and asked, "Xia Weier and Long Ze should be back by now. Qin Ye, Cong Xian and Qi Heng have already gone to fight off the beast tide. But Xia Weier and Long Ze have lost contact with me."

"You know where they are, right?"

Qi lifted his drooping eyelids and looked at Ruan Xiyue: "I know."

Ruan Xiyue felt a vague unease in her heart.

She stared at Qi, and when he didn't speak, she asked again, "Can you tell me where they are? I need to go find them."

Qi looked at Ruan Xiyue: "You can't go. They've gone to the Holy City."

Ruan Xiyue was startled: "What are they doing in the Holy City!"

Qi just stared at Ruan Xiyue quietly: "Go kill the Beast King."

Ruan Xiyue panicked: "The two of them, one is at the first rank and the other just reached the gold rank, what are they going to the Holy City for! To die?"

Ruan Xiyue suddenly looked at Qi, a hint of resentment in her eyes: "Did you tell them?"

Qi did not deny it: "Yes, I gave them both a dream. It was a scene where the Beast King took away your child, and you went to hunt down the Beast King, but were imprisoned by him instead."

Ruan Xiyue was stunned: "You..."

Qi's lips curled into a cold smile: "This is not an illusion I created; it's something that could actually happen. I can transcend time, go to a certain moment, and see the trajectory of events."

Ruan Xiyue gritted her teeth, her scalp tingling, and her heart filled with panic.

"Qin Ye and the others really went to fight off the beast tide, right?"

Qi looked at Ruan Xiyue: "Why should I tell you?"

Just as Ruan Xiyue was about to ask the system Duoduo, she heard Qi Wei sigh: "Qin Ye and Cong Xian went to resist the beast tide, and Qi Heng set off for the Holy City."

Ruan Xiyue was surprised.

"Qi Heng's ability level is higher than Qin Ye's and Cong Xian's. Although his relationship with Xia Weier and Long Ze is not harmonious, Qin Ye and Cong Xian still chose to let him help them."

Ruan Xiyue paced back and forth in the room, holding a nursing baby mermaid.

Seeing that Ruan Xiyue looked preoccupied but gradually calmed down, Qi couldn't help but sigh.

"Do you really have to go find them?"

Ruan Xiyue smiled and nodded: "Yes. Because they are my beast husbands."

Qi pursed his lips: "If I can ensure their survival, can you refuse to go?"

Ruan Xiyue looked at Qi, remained silent for a long time, and then asked, "If I go, will I get hurt?"

Qi nodded: "His abdomen will be injured."

Fearing that Ruan Xiyue might misunderstand, Qi added, "Although it won't affect the birth of your offspring, you will experience pain and bleeding."

As Ruan Xiyue had just realized, Qi hadn't wanted her to be injured in the abdomen so that she could give birth to his cubs.

Qi sat on Ruan Xiyue's bed, and with a wave of his hand, a gentle yet powerful breeze enveloped Ruan Xiyue in his arms.

Qi's lips brushed against Ruan Xiyue's neck as he whispered, "Can we not go?"

Ruan Xiyue panicked for a moment, but shook her head: "I want to save my beast husband."

Qi pursed his lips: "I can temporarily boost their strength significantly, but they might need to stay in bed for a long time afterward. Of course, I'll also ensure their safe return to Hope Beast City. So, could you please not go?"

Ruan Xiyue pursed her lips and nodded: "Okay. If that's the case, then I won't go."

Qi loosened his grip on Ruan Xiyue's arm: "So, if I help you like this, what can you give me in return?"

Ruan Xiyue thought for a moment, then spread her hands: "I can only give birth to your cubs."

Qi chuckled softly, took out a soft, milky-white bead from somewhere, and put it into Ruan Xiyue's mouth.

Ruan Xiyue raised an eyebrow: "Again? A few days ago, I was fed this bead, and the cubs almost couldn't drink my milk anymore. They said it contained too much energy."

Qi Qing bit Ruan Xiyue's neck: "You broke through to the Human Rank and awakened your innate ability, but you didn't even thank me. Instead, you blamed me? You're such an ungrateful little thing."

Ruan Xiyue shrank back and patted Qi's arm: "We're feeding the baby! Stop fooling around!"

Qi took a deep breath and asked, "If I don't let Xia Weier and Long Ze go over, are you planning to get pregnant with Xia Weier and my baby in a few days, and then focus on your pregnancy?"

Ruan Xiyue nodded, curious: "Is this something you saw by stepping out of the dimension of time?"

Qi didn't speak, but said in a low voice, "Then when the Beast King discovered that age spots were starting to appear on his body, he couldn't contain his greed."

"It's the same principle as you thinking you wouldn't cross the line for 100 million. But what if your neighbor or friend actually showed you 100 million or gold jewelry worth 100 million?"

"You might not still want to be a law-abiding citizen. I've seen your so-called system's records of the general situation in another world. Using such a realistic analogy, you can better understand how greed can devour his reason."
