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

Chapter 398 Digging a hole

After chatting for a while, Luo Yurou and the others said their goodbyes.

Just as Ruan Xiyue was thinking about how to make arrangements, Qi appeared carrying the cub.

Ruan Xiyue blinked and asked directly, "Were you secretly watching us while I was chatting with the other females?"

Qi pursed his lips, remained silent for a moment, but decided not to lie to Ruan Xiyue: "Yes."

Ruan Xiyue laughed angrily: "Do you know that this is an invasion of my privacy? I finally managed to have a private conversation."

Qi floated up and sat cross-legged on the spot, looking at Ruan Xiyue: "Are you angry because you're embarrassed, or are you just too shy to use the tricks you've learned on me?"

Ruan Xiyue felt a little guilty for a moment, her eyes darting around, then she cleared her throat: "Well, well... mainly, you're the Beast God, shouldn't you be quite busy?"

Qi rested his chin on his hand, watching Ruan Xiyue hurriedly pack her things, before speaking: "Their sacrifices and prayers ask for too many things. If the tribe that asks for something is indeed doing good deeds, it's not difficult for me to offer some protection and help. But the problem is... their usual kind behavior is not unrelated, it's completely the opposite."

Ruan Xiyue immediately became interested in gossip: "Really? For example? Aren't there any tribes that are relatively benevolent?"

Seeing that Ruan Xiyue was in the mood to talk, Qi began to tell her about the secrets and scandals of various tribes.

Ruan Xiyue's mouth dropped open in shock. Even though she was already burping from eating so many energy fruits, she still couldn't contain her astonishment: "So, you've been secretly spying on various tribes all this time? You didn't just spy on me, did you?"

Qi frowned slightly and shook his head: "No, when they perform sacrifices and pray for blessings, I can sense whether they have good intentions or bad intentions. Even if they have more good intentions, even if they are greedy, I will not ignore their prayers."

Ruan Xiyue felt that the mysterious things Qi was talking about were things she couldn't understand.

But I understand the concept.

Ruan Xiyue pursed her lips and remained silent.

Qi said with a forlorn expression and a slightly nasal tone, "If you really want me to keep busy, I can go and take a look."

Ruan Xiyue sighed: "If you get too involved, won't you suffer a backlash from the rules?"

Qi nodded: "If you change their trajectory too much, you will suffer a backlash from the rules."

Ruan Xiyue immediately waved her hand: "Then you should calm down. It's best if you're not busy."

Qi looked at Ruan Xiyue: "So, are you planning to arrange a time? If so, could you give me a few more days? I'm the last one to become your beast husband, so you should be able to give me a few more days, right?"

Ruan Xiyue was speechless: "Okay. I'll arrange six days for you each month, and the remaining twenty-one days, three for each of their beastmen, and I'll have three days to arrange as I please."

Qi pursed his lips and remained silent. Ruan Xiyue reached out and pinched his cheek: "Don't be too greedy. I can't really arrange ten days for you and two days for each of them, can I?"

"Also, during the beast tide season and when they're all busy with other things, if I stay with you, they'll have to deduct time from your schedule for them after they're done."

Qi's expression turned even uglier.

Ruan Xiyue cupped Qi's face in her hands: "Be good, I can't favor one over the other."

Qi buried his face in Ruan Xiyue's neck and said in a muffled voice, "You bullied me."

Ruan Xiyue nodded confidently and immediately admitted, "Yes, I'm bad. Don't be angry then."

Qi angrily bit Ruan Xiyue.

Ruan Xiyue thought for a moment and asked, "If you haven't recovered, your body will be weak, and your divine power will also be relatively weak?"

Qi didn't want to talk, and like a child, he refused to communicate with silence.

Ruan Xiyue reached out and touched Qi Lan's purple curly hair: "This is what I'm thinking. If your divine power is weak, then if I give birth to your offspring, I won't have that much divine power, and it won't cause any damage to my body?"

Qi shook his head: "I don't know. I... haven't tried it with any females."

Ruan Xiyue pinched Qi's ear: "What are you talking about? You want to try it out with other females?"

Qi's ears began to burn: "No, you've misunderstood me. I didn't mean that."

After hesitating for a moment, Ruan Xiyue asked tentatively, "How about we give it a try?"

Qi thought for a moment, then shook his head: "No. If my divine power recovers, I can still control it. But if it doesn't, I won't be able to control my divine power precisely, which would be very dangerous for you. Let's wait until I recover before trying."

Ruan Xiyue frowned, hugged Qi's back, and fell into deep thought.

Unbeknownst to Ruan Xiyue, the tail of the female iris mermaid juvenile flashed with a faint golden luster for a fleeting moment.

Even Qi was completely oblivious to Ruan Xiyue's gentleness.

After Ruan Xiyue comforted Qi, Qi took the cub back to the deep sea. The baby mermaids couldn't stay away from the deep sea for too long.

Ruan Xiyue was very uneasy. She was considering how to explain to the other beast husbands that she had promised to give Qi more favoritism.

Long Ze went out and contacted the Yan Beast organization. He was busy all day trying to arrange the union of the female slaves and the wandering beastmen with Xia Weier as soon as possible.

Jiu Chen went to the high priest sent by the priesthood. He felt that his body had almost recovered, but he was worried that the high priest of the Silver Cup who came to the Beast City had other delusions.

Qi Heng went to Dong Songlin to discuss bringing his mother over, using the pretext of testing the medicine, and was engaged in a tense negotiation with another elder of the Spirit Fox Tribe.

Li Miao also went to Lu Qixin's place. He felt that the Treasure-Hunting Rat Tribe had been eerily quiet lately, not making any unreasonable demands, or even showing the slightest hint of such demands. He felt that this was very unlike the style of the Treasure-Hunting Rat Tribe.

Only Xian was busy with the problems in the various workshops.

Each beastman was very busy, and they gradually returned in the evening.

Ruan Xiyue quickly helped Long Ze up; she felt that Long Ze's pale face must be due to exhaustion.

The beastmen sat at the dining table, looking at the sumptuous dinner that Ruan Xiyue had prepared especially for them. They felt a mix of gratitude and wariness.

Ruan Xiyue thought it would be better to ask them about their busy schedules today before bringing up the time arrangements.

Before Ruan Xiyue could even speak, Xia Weier frowned slightly, his azure eyes looking at her with a pitiful expression.

"What's wrong? Did you run into a problem today?" Ruan Xiyue was secretly pleased, thinking that Xia Weier was very understanding. She was still thinking about how to bring it up!

Isn't this the opportunity that's presented itself?

Xia Weier sighed: "Several female slaves do not want to form mates. They are willing to bear the mark of slavery, live on basic food supplies, and work as slaves in the workshops."

Ruan Xiyue frowned, puzzled: "Why? Besides their daily food, slaves don't even get a single beast core, and they won't get any of the profits. The previous batch of female slaves gradually chose to swear an oath to the Beast God and pledge allegiance to me. They later also formed couples with the wandering beastmen of the Yama Beast Organization."

"Is it because they're afraid that taking their heart's blood won't allow them to recover properly, and that it might affect their own aptitude?"
