Chapter 320 The Troubles of Having Too Many Cubs
"Wife..." Qi Heng looked pitiful, like a big baby about to break down.
Ruan Xiyue looked at the cubs, then at Qi Heng, and said, "Can't you just let them play by themselves and stop bothering you?"
Qi Heng was stunned for a moment; he felt as if he had truly shattered.
He doesn't know how to refuse a cub's request!
The cubs were so cute, their little faces soft and fluffy as they looked at him, their big eyes blinking. How could he refuse them?
He couldn't bring himself to refuse!
Ruan Xiyue quickly walked up to Qi Heng, gently hugged him, and patted his back.
Qi Heng sat on the sofa, burying his face in Ruan Xiyue's chest, feeling both wronged and satisfied, and playfully pressed Ruan Xiyue closer to him.
"You!" Ruan Xiyue sighed.
Qi Heng looked up at Ruan Xiyue, who was looking down at him, and explained with a wronged expression, "No uncle or aunt has ever taught me how to take care of a group of cubs."
"The main problem is that they don't have this experience, right? Who has ever taken care of over fifty cubs before?"
Qi Heng was almost in tears as he spoke.
Ruan Xiyue gently stroked Qi Heng's hair.
The most fertile females of the rabbit and rat tribes, after raising several litters to adulthood, would take care of their younger siblings themselves.
It's because Ruan Xiyue keeps having babies, and before the first few children have even grown up, they're already old enough to take care of their younger siblings.
She's currently pregnant with seven babies!
"It's alright, the orcs who will bring our cubs will arrive in a couple of days."
Qi Heng shook his head slightly, raising his small face: "I'm worried about you. After this baby is born, shall we take a break?"
"Then how will you explain this to the Spirit Fox Tribe?"
Qi Heng shook his head: "Just say I tried, but I can't do it, and I'll wait. They'll be willing to wait."
Ruan Xiyue gently patted Qi Heng's back: "Don't worry about this for now. Do you think the one who sent the cubs this time could be a branch of the Spirit Fox Clan?"
Qi Heng pulled Ruan Xiyue to sit in his lap: "I wanted to tell you about this earlier, but you ignored me."
Ruan Xiyue reached out and put her arm around Qi Heng's neck, her fingers gently sliding down to his collarbone, tracing it carefully.
She looked up at Qi Heng: "You're even better at being charming than me!"
Qi Heng blushed slightly and said, "Elder Dong Qianyue's grandson or granddaughter might be sent, but other elders might send offspring from collateral branches."
“There are some things I didn’t know before. Uncle Dong told me today that our Spirit Fox Tribe has some closely guarded secrets and methods that can be fed to the cubs of some elders.”
"Those things can nourish the cubs' bodies and improve their abilities and aptitudes."
Ruan Xiyue tilted her head slightly: "Is it rice cracker and salted walnuts? There should be some other things, right? But the other things should be things that belong to the category of nourishing medicinal cuisine."
Qi Heng opened his mouth slightly, indicating his great surprise.
"How did you know!" Qi Heng was extremely surprised.
"I don't know about salted walnuts, but Uncle Dong did mention rice noodles, as well as red fruit, white tofu skin, black chicken and shrimp porridge. There's also a kind of gelatinous porridge, which is also good for young cubs."
"Peach gum?"
Qi Heng nodded: "I don't know. Uncle Dong himself doesn't know either. He only said that we have a piece of clan land that only elders and clan leaders are allowed to enter, because of these precious trees."
"A transparent, paste-like substance will grow on the trees, but if you cook it into porridge, it will be good for the young. It can be served with multi-seeded hawthorns, birch sap, wild boar trotters, and some nuts."
Ruan Xiyue frowned slightly and looked at Qi Heng: "You haven't eaten this before?"
Qi Heng fell silent, then shook his head: "I am not qualified."
Ruan Xiyue pinched Qi Heng's cheek: "Don't worry! When the cubs grow a bit older, you can eat as much as you want when I make porridge for them!"
Qi Heng quickly shook his head: "Let's save these good things for the cubs!"
The cat-like creature Ruan Chenwu climbed up Ruan Xiyue's trouser leg, looking at her with a cute, feline expression: "Mommy, I want to eat. Eat now!"
Ruan Xiyue poked Ruan Chenwu's chubby belly and said, "You're so fat that your belly almost touches the ground when you walk!"
As a result, Ruan Chenwu held tightly to Ruan Xiyue's trouser leg and was not poked. The other cubs, hearing about the food, also became excited and shouted for food in turn.
Ruan Xiyue instantly felt a throbbing pain in her temples.
It's not that I don't want you to eat! It's that you can't eat it right now!
Ruan Xiyue frowned slightly, her voice no longer gentle: "Stop shouting! Can you hear your mother?"
As the eldest sister, Ruan Ling, wanting to help Ruan Xiyue keep an eye on her younger siblings, let out a loud "Meow!"
Ruan Xiyue's serious expression almost faltered.
However, the cubs were born with some kind of bloodline suppression, and when Ruan Ling shouted, the other cubs fell silent.
Ruan Xiyue rubbed the white head of the Fire-Eyed Honey Badger Ruan Xiaqi and said, "You are both too young. Right now you can only eat milk-flavored minced meat porridge. When you are three years old, you will be able to eat other things."
"Because some plants, such as birch sap and dried shrimp, are cooling in nature. If you eat cooling things, you will get diarrhea at best, and dehydration at worst. You are still young and your stomachs can't handle too many fancy things."
"When you turn three, your mother will definitely make these things for you. You'll be three next year! It'll be here soon!"
Ruan Ling looked intently at Ruan Xiyue: "Mother, you know so much!"
Ruan Xiyue smiled smugly: "Of course! Your mother was very studious when she was young! In a while, your mother will invite an orc teacher to teach you, and you can learn from him."
More than half of Ruan Xiyue's cubs have eaten the Cub Intelligence Pill. The remaining cubs are too young to eat it. The cubs that have eaten the Cub Intelligence Pill have already reached the intelligence level of ordinary cubs who are three to five years old.
Therefore, Ruan Xiyue plans to buy a few more bionic robot beastmen to serve as teachers that Xia Weier helped her find. She will only teach them for an hour each day.
The rest of the time, I take them out to play.
However, when the cubs ask questions, these androids can give them very good answers.
It's similar to a kindergarten in the human world.
The cubs weren't particularly curious about the teacher Ruan Xiyue mentioned, since they had already met her in the portable parenting paradise.
When they were a few months old, even things like feeding and changing diapers were taken care of entirely by those android beastmen!
Qi Heng, on the other hand, was quite surprised.
He was very curious about what kind of orcs the Third Prince had invited. Were they orcs from the Holy City?
We should tell Uncle Dong Songlin this news tomorrow. This way, we can increase our leverage and try to get the Spirit Fox Tribe to send some cubs with noble bloodlines and good aptitude!
When his cubs grow up, he will bring his childhood friends back to the Spirit Fox Tribe. He can't be left to be used and arbitrarily disposed of by the Spirit Fox Tribe!
