Chapter 334 Coaxing
Ruan Xiyue finally understood: female chromosomes can be passed down for longer. That's why offspring with atavistic bloodlines from females are especially precious!
Then when she looked at Cong Xian again, she saw him kneeling by the window, silently shedding tears as he looked at the several pink and tender little chicks.
I've never seen anyone like him being such a doting father before!
Ruan Xiyue silently rolled her eyes. She hadn't expected Cong Xian to be so pragmatic about his own cubs. She had always thought that Cong Xian was the most doting on his cubs among all the beast tamers.
As a result, an even more valuable cub appeared. It turned out that he was so fond of the cub that he would secretly shed tears!
Oh well, it's not so bad.
Ultimately, it was her cubs who received their father's love.
Ruan Xiyue asked Duoduo in her mind: "Didn't you know what Li Miao said?"
Dodo, sporting its not-so-bright black cat skin, nodded in agreement: 【I know!】
Ruan Xiyue: ? ? ?
"Then why aren't you telling me?" Ruan Xiyue stared wide-eyed, speechless.
Duo Duo was silent for a moment: [Too weak to protect more benefits.]
[If the host always produces female offspring with ancestral traits from the very beginning, the tribes will value the host even more. My esteemed host, the Cheetah Lion Tribe, is merely a small, medium-sized tribe.]
Ruan Xiyue pursed her lips and nodded: "What you said makes sense."
[Then the pills I mentioned to the public, which could increase the birth rate of female offspring, will have to take longer to show results.]
Duo Duo nodded: [Yes, so regarding what the host mentioned to Luo Yurou and the other females last time, the ratio of the female offspring pills and fertility-enhancing pills I recommended to the host will only result in a small number of pregnant females giving birth to female offspring.]
Ruan Xiyue kissed Duoduo in her mind with gratitude, and Duoduo was so frightened that she immediately squatted down in the corner.
When Ruan Xiyue woke up, she saw herself cleaned up and nestled in Jiu Chen's arms in the round and chubby shape of a metal-eating beast.
Cong Xian was opposite Ruan Xiyue, blocking the newborn cubs from falling off the bed.
Jiu Chen seemed to sense that Ruan Xiyue had woken up, so he gently hugged her from behind, patted her softly, and asked in a low voice, "Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"
Ruan Xiyue shook her head: "Not very hungry, still sleepy."
Jiu Chen then gently patted her again: "Then sleep a little longer, and get up to eat when you're hungry."
Ruan Xiyue continued to sleep, pretending to be a metal-eating beast.
Luo Yurou and the others came to visit Ruan Xiyue the day after she gave birth.
She looked at the extremely weak Ruan Xiyue with a hesitant expression.
Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "You didn't use yourself as a test subject, did you?"
Ruan Xiyue tugged at the corners of her mouth, afraid that Luo Yurou would notice something amiss with her feigned weakness.
Ruan Xiyue sighed, "The ratio wasn't right this time. Have we found enough females willing to have more babies? I'll definitely control the ratio better this time."
Luo Yurou couldn't help but roll her eyes: "I'm really fed up with you. You could have just let a female with lower fertility try it! What's with you trying it yourself? Do you know how important you are to our tribe!"
Ruan Xiyue grinned, her lips looking dry. Chu Jiayu tugged at Luo Yurou with concern, "Don't say anything! Xiyue isn't feeling well!"
Luo Yurou sighed, "You can't do this again next time! If there's anything about drug trials, just tell us directly!"
Ruan Xiyue nodded.
Luo Yurou thought for a moment and then said, "I only asked females who were willing to have more offspring before, but I think there are still risks with this drug. We still need to make the drug trial clear."
Seeing Chu Jiayun frowning with disapproval, Luo Yurou took Chu Jiayun's hand and squeezed it, then said to Ruan Xiyue:
"What I mean is to make it clear that you are improving the formula for the healing water, which may lead to a state of extreme weakness during pregnancy, like you are! This kind of thing cannot be kept from the females who are willing to cooperate, otherwise the cohesion of the tribe will crumble!"
At this moment, Duoduo also said in Ruan Xiyue's mind: "Female offspring require more energy in the mother's womb, so a pregnant female who is carrying a female offspring with good aptitude may become very weak and uncomfortable."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Xiyue nodded and said, "This matter should be known to your father, Chief Congwen, and Chief Min."
Ruan Xiyue thought for a moment and said, "How about we just find fifty? Let's not find a hundred females."
"Does it have to be a female with low fertility?"
Ruan Xiyue thought for a moment and shook her head: "It just has to be that it hasn't given birth to any offspring for more than six months."
Chu Jiayun nodded and immediately filled in the blanks for Ruan Xiyue: "Only females that haven't given birth for more than six months can be tested to determine whether the pregnant female's weakness is due to frequent births or the medicinal juice!"
Luo Yurou suddenly realized: "It would be best to have females of fertility at all stages, so that we can see whether this medicine is suitable for all females or not."
Chu Jiayun then looked at Ruan Xiyue: "After we've chosen the females, when will we start the experiment? We actually already chose the females, but seeing how weak you are and how pregnant you are, we didn't want to bother you."
Ruan Xiyue waved her hand: "If we find a female, we can start tomorrow."
Luo Yurou opened her mouth, but then stopped trying to persuade her.
Luo Yurou and the others left quickly. Jiu Chen sat down next to Ruan Xiyue and brought her a plate of freshly cut fruit.
"I haven't had a chance to ask you yet, did you pass the exam? Did you pass the test for the Iron Cup High Priest?"
Jiu Chen nodded: "Yes, I passed the test."
Jiu Chen took out a gray-black iron seal from his storage bag and pulled down his clothes. Next to Jiu Chen's collarbone, there was a totem pattern of a mermaid and a human body with a snake tail intertwined.
Ruan Xiyue grabbed Jiu Chen's clothes, and Jiu Chen, following the momentum, placed his hands on either side of Ruan Xiyue's shoulders.
Ruan Xiyue wrapped her arms around Jiu Chen's neck and kissed his thin lips.
Jiu Chen only gave Ruan Xiyue a brief kiss.
After a while, Jiu Chen took the initiative to distance himself from Ruan Xiyue.
Ruan Xiyue took a birth control pill and then wanted to pull Jiu Chen into bed to stay by her side.
Jiu Chen frowned slightly: "No, we've already discussed it. From now on, no one can cross the line. We can't let you continue having babies like this. You need to rest for at least six months."
Ruan Xiyue nodded: "I know, I'm tired of giving birth too. The medicine I just took is to prevent the birth of offspring."
Jiu Chen hugged Ruan Xiyue and kissed her repeatedly: "You should rest well first, and we'll talk about other things in a couple of days."
Ruan Xiyue persisted, "I just wanted you to hug me from behind while we slept, I didn't mean to do anything else!"
Jiu Chen's ears turned slightly red, and he lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly. He took off his linen clothes and, as Ruan Xiyue requested, hugged her from behind, patting her gently and coaxing her to continue resting.
