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

Chapter 329 Test (Bonus chapter for bookmarks)

The orcs sent by the Beast King have finally arrived.

Fortunately, Ruan Xiyue had applied foundation all over her body to make her look pale.

The leading orc frowned, but still said in a serious tone, "The Beast King has ordered that Holy Consort Ruan Xiyue be summoned to the Holy City."

Ruan Xiyue leaned against Li Miao, looking at him weakly and angrily, then weakly raised her hand and pointed at herself.

Can't you tell what's wrong with me?

The leading orc swallowed hard, then looked at Ruan Xiyue and softened his tone: "But the Beast King has ordered..."

Ruan Xiyue waved her hand, interrupting him: "You can't take me to any holy city now! Let alone go to the holy city! I can't even walk a few steps outside the tribe before I'm done for!"

The leading orc pursed his lips, looked at Ruan Xiyue whose face was deathly pale, and then at her swollen belly. He was momentarily stunned.

Ruan Xiyue sighed, "Send a beastman to deliver a message to the Beast King. My pregnancy is difficult, and I need to rest. Let's make other plans after I give birth to my cubs in a month!"

The leading orc frowned, and the other orcs hesitated as well.

"If I go with you like this, I'll definitely die! It's that simple! You should send a message to the Beast King first! He wants me to go to the Holy City, simply so that I can have a proper birth of the Moon Rabbit cub with my beast husband."

"The Beast King couldn't possibly want his daughter-in-law to die, could he? If that were the case, he wouldn't have sent so many high-ranking guards to me!"

Ruan Xiyue's chest heaved, looking exhausted and weak from talking too much.

Upon seeing this, the leading orc quickly placed his right hand on his left chest and bowed, saying, "Alright. Then we'll go and send a message to the Beast King. We hope that Holy Mother Xiyue will take good care of herself."

Ruan Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief after the orcs left.

She then took out a soundproof square plate shaped like a compass, placed a crystal on it, and said, "Luckily, I prepared in advance!"

Qi Heng was dumbfounded: "So, you started faking illness a few days ago just to deal with the orcs sent by the Beast King?"

Ruan Xiyue pushed Li Miao away, lay down on the sofa, put her feet on Li Miao's legs, and said comfortably, "Yeah! What else? I'm so hot! This stuff doesn't breathe at all when it's on the skin!"

Li Miao massaged Ruan Xiyue's calves, frowning slightly: "Why did the Beast King invite you to the Holy City? Xia Weier, the Beast Husband, isn't in the Holy City either!"

Ruan Xiyue pouted: "Who knows!"

Qi Heng frowned: "But, are you going to keep pretending like this for a whole month?"

Ruan Xiyue held up her finger and shook it: "No, no, no! I'll keep pretending until Xia Weier comes back!"

Li Miao sighed, "What exactly does this Beast King want to do?"

Qi Heng, however, thought further ahead: "Could he send orcs to obstruct the construction of the Beast City?"

Ruan Xiyue narrowed her eyes and shook her head: "Probably not. If he were to break ties with us now, it wouldn't do him any good. I don't think the Beast King is a fool. On the contrary, he's very clever!"

Ruan Xiyue said this because of the new information she had obtained. After integrating that information, it wasn't hard to deduce that the First Prince and the Second Prince's Holy Mistress had given birth to the Moon Rabbit cubs by consuming the secret medicine, all in order to gain the favor of the Beast King.

At the end of last year, the Beast King frequently summoned the cubs to see him. He wished the cubs could all live by his side.

Then, not long after, the guards of the First Prince and the Second Prince began to frequently visit the Witch Doctor's residence in the Holy City.

Then, not long after, the eldest prince and the second prince, who was far away in the border city, had a baby rabbit.

Ruan Xiyue asked Duoduo directly: "Did the Beast King tell those cubs that they were all very good, and that it would be even better if they were the beast forms of the Bright Moon Rabbit Clan?"

Duo Duo thought for a moment: [Based on data analysis, there's a greater than 70% chance that the Beast King did this!]

Ruan Xiyue scoffed: "Then, the Beast King probably wants to put some pressure on Xia Weier, to make him understand that if he doesn't work hard to produce offspring of the Bright Moon Rabbit Clan, the Beast King has plenty of sons to give birth to! He just wants to put pressure on Xia Weier, huh?"

Duoduo replied again: "Based on calculations, there's a probability of over 63%."

However, the Beast King is definitely not satisfied. Because what he actually wants is a cub with the ancestral bloodline of the Moon Rabbit. Right?

Duo Duo couldn't help but complain: "Given the Beast King's personality, he definitely believes that what he wants must be the best!"

Ruan Xiyue sighed: "I'm already working incredibly hard to improve my strength and consolidate my power. I'm so fed up with being controlled by that old beast king. I just want to punch him to pieces!"

Duo Duo pursed her lips: [My esteemed host, you can't do that. The Beast King possesses a low-level ability.]

Ruan Xiyue sighed inwardly and then proceeded to berate the Beast King to Duo Duo, until Duo Duo said pitifully, "Host, you're using such foul language! Duo Duo is still a system that's not even two years old! Your language is too vulgar..."

Ruan Xiyue took a deep breath and lay in Li Miao's arms, thinking about the next steps.

Time flies like an arrow. When the cubs from the Treasure-Seeking Rat Tribe and the Spirit Fox Tribe were brought here after a long journey, more than half of the cubs were already feeling a bit cold.

Ruan Xiyue directly asked Cong Xian to cook a meat porridge with a strong energy milk powder flavor at home, and invited the cubs to come and eat.

The orcs from the Fox Tribe and the Treasure-Seeking Rat Tribe who escorted the cubs were somewhat annoyed.

They felt that if Ruan Xiyue hadn't insisted on having a child around three years old, how could such a thing have happened?

As a result, after the cubs had eaten their fill of minced meat porridge, they took a nap and were fine!

Ruan Xiyue looked extremely weak, almost collapsing. She waved her hand, signaling all the guards who came to express their gratitude to leave hastily.

The moment they stepped out the door, I wanted to slap myself: I'm so damn stupid!

Ruan Xiyue lay at home, while Cong Xian and Qi Heng were called to watch them test the cubs' abilities.

Li Miao stayed with Ruan Xiyue: "Your due date is in ten days, right? Are you really not feeling unwell?"

Ruan Xiyue took a bite, chewing on the energy fruit as she said, "I'm fine, but I can't let the other orcs think I'm fine!"

"I'm afraid that old man, the Beast King, will try to take advantage of me."

Li Miao was stunned for a moment, and he stammered, "No way...you...he...you're right, our ancestors had this kind of thing too. There were even cases of older sisters and younger brothers mating. Later, they found that the offspring they gave birth to had poorly developed limbs, so they stopped doing it."

Ruan Xiyue scratched her head: "I was just saying it casually, he shouldn't be that serious, right? Let's not talk about this. Yesterday, all the cubs came over. Did you take notes on which elders' descendants they were?"

Li Miao shrugged and put his arm around Ruan Xiyue: "I've got it! Are you planning to choose someone with a high-level ability, or someone with a powerful family background?"

Ruan Xiyue turned her head to look at Li Miao, who was holding her, her eyes sparkling: "Tell me, how should I choose?"
