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

Chapter 158 9 Chen and Li Miao

Jiu Chen sniffed at Ruan Xiyue's neck and chest for a long time with his wet cat nose, making her face and body all wet.

Just as Jiu Chen was about to stick out his tongue to lick Ruan Xi, Li Miao kicked Jiu Chen away into the distance.

"Jiuchen! Are you going to kill your beastly wife?" Li Miao shouted angrily.

After Jiu Chen's spirit cat beast form was kicked far away, his eyes regained a moment of clarity.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jiu Chen ran away into the distance.

"Jiuchen—!" Ruan Xiyue watched Jiuchen run towards the jungle, feeling somewhat worried.

Qin Ye quickly came over, grabbed Ruan Xiyue's hand, and pulled her up from the grass.

"It's alright, there are basically no animals left over there, as long as he doesn't go any deeper," Qin Ye said.

Everyone looked in the direction Jiu Chen had run off in, and through the shadows, they could see a bright light, appearing and disappearing in the woods.

That must have been the bluish-white flame that ignited on Jiu Chen's body when he underwent a transformation and refined his bloodline.

The ball of fire flickered in the distance, neither getting any closer nor getting any further away.

Ruan Xiyue sighed.

"You were following us?" Ruan Xiyue looked at Li Miao.

Li Miao shrugged: "If I hadn't been following you, you would have been injured!"

“He wouldn’t hurt me at all! I saw it in his eyes just now.” Ruan Xiyue frowned.

"Now that I've chased him away, you're here to summarize the situation? It was such a critical moment; if I hadn't kicked him out, and he had tried to kiss you, you would have been torn to pieces! The barbs on a cat's tongue are no joke!"

Li Miao didn't tolerate Ruan Xiyue at all and directly retorted with reason and evidence.

“He won’t lick me! I really saw it, the struggle in his eyes, and then he suddenly came to his senses…” Ruan Xiyue’s voice grew softer and softer.

She did see it, but Li Miao did save her because he was worried about her.

Qin Ye stood beside Ruan Xiyue, carefully examining her injuries.

But Li Miao said, "I saved you again, and I think the stuff you gave them is pretty effective. Look, Cong Xian and Qin Ye, both males, leveled up after taking this medicine! Even the brown-ranked Nine Star males seem to level up, right?"

"How about I take one of these pills too? Anyway, if I become stronger, I can protect you." Li Miao casually negotiated with Ruan Xiyue.

Ruan Xiyue shook her head: "My medicine will only be effective if those few people take it."

Li Miao frowned, tilted his head, and squinted at Ruan Xiyue. After a moment, he said, "If I want to become your partner, I'll have to wait until the Treasure-Seeking Rat Tribe leaves. What kind of medicine is this? Is it really necessary to become a partner to take it?"

Ruan Xiyue rolled her eyes: "You think I want to become your partner? I could snap my fingers and there are plenty of gold and silver-rank male beastmen willing to become my partners!"

Li Miao and Ruan Xiyue rolled their eyes at each other: "You think gold and silver ranks are like cabbages? In the Beast God Continent, which gold or silver rank beastman doesn't have a holy female as their partner?"

"Moreover, the transition from brown rank to silver rank is a huge hurdle! Many people are stuck at brown rank their entire lives, unable to advance even a fraction of an inch!"

"The gray and brown levels are both easy to enter, but advancing is incredibly difficult! Otherwise, why would I bring up the four times I helped you?"

"Human favors should be used wisely! Your husband is really incompetent! It seems you have very weak common sense."

Ruan Xiyue frowned. She did indeed have a weak foundation in basic common sense, after all, she wasn't a local beastman! It's normal to have weak common sense!

Ruan Xiyue rolled her eyes at Li Miao: "Anyway, there are plenty of orcs who want to be my partner! I can choose whichever I want! I'm giving you this pill, but you can't possibly take it now, it would be a waste."

"I can't be bothered with you, I'm going back to sleep!"

As Ruan Xiyue looked at the sky, which was already turning a pale white, she couldn't help but yawn.

Qin Ye picked up Ruan Xiyue and headed towards the Lion Clan tribe.

When Jiu Chen returned home, he was still covered in water vapor, and the water droplets on his hair had not yet dried.

"Honey, are you alright? I don't know why, but I just thought you smelled so good, so very good... I almost hurt you because of it. I'm sorry." Jiu Chen looked as pitiful as an abandoned kitten.

Ruan Xiyue pulled Jiu Chen onto the bed and pressed him down on the soft animal skin mattress. While yawning, she rubbed against his chest and said, "I felt it. Your eyes finally regained their clarity."

Jiu Chen said seriously, "If you encounter a similar situation again in the future, don't let the other beastmen worry. You must attack me! I will not allow any beastman to harm you, including myself!"

Ruan Xiyue nodded and rubbed her cheek against Jiu Chen's muscular physique: "I know! You're so noisy! But why haven't you leveled up? Is it because you don't have enough beast cores?"

Jiu Chen shook his head and kissed Ruan Xiyue's head: "I haven't used up all my beast cores, they probably need to settle down a bit."

Because of a mutation in my bloodline aptitude, I now feel that the purity and concentration of my bloodline have changed significantly.

My energy was originally a third short of advancing to the next level, but now it's even more. However, when I absorb energy, I feel it's much faster than before!

Li Miao suddenly pushed open the door: "So, the effect of this medicine on you is to improve your bloodline aptitude, not to advance your rank, right?"

The moment Li Miao pushed open the door, Jiu Chen was already in a state of readiness, his narrow, peach-blossom eyes coldly fixed on Li Miao, looking as if he was ready to kill him immediately.

Ruan Xiyue felt safe with Jiu Chen by her side and immediately fell into a deep sleep.

Jiu Chen gestured slightly with his chin: Let's talk outside!

Li Miao did not object and gestured for them to proceed.

The two males came downstairs, and Jiu Chen looked at Li Miao coldly: "I don't know why my wife allowed you to move in. Maybe it's because she feels indebted to you for asking for help three times, and she hasn't been able to give you the appropriate reward."

"Besides, you're very thick-skinned, unlike her other beastmen husbands who were all very sensible. She didn't kick you out, but on your first day here, she told you that home is a place where she needs to relax and rest, and doesn't want to be on guard against any beastmen."

"I hope you have some sense of propriety! Don't always be so curious!"

Li Miao maintained his indifferent attitude, remaining unmoved.

"Your wife promised me she'd have my child, so why are you so hostile towards me? If it weren't for me yesterday, are you sure you wouldn't have hurt her in the slightest?"

Jiu Chen pursed his thin lips, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "I thank you for your help yesterday. But even without you, Cong Xian and Qin Ye would not have allowed me to do anything detrimental to my wife!"

"What I'm saying is, stop peeking through the door and being curious about things you shouldn't be curious about! Don't change the subject!"
