Chapter 231 Longing for a Peaceful Return
Ruan Xiyue planned to eat Jiuchen before setting off. Although she might not be able to eat Longze once she reached the Beast Tide Land, she couldn't leave her beastmen alone in their rooms for too long.
Otherwise, what if the marriage falls apart?
Relationships also need to be nurtured.
Qi Heng had just stepped onto the stairs when he heard Ruan Xiyue humming inside. He could easily imagine that Ruan Xiyue was currently snuggling in Jiu Chen's arms, pulling him upstairs!
Qi Heng stood silently at the door with his eyes lowered, but his peripheral vision couldn't help but glance at Li Miao.
Li Miao seemed to understand his intentions, and Qi Heng was waiting for him to knock on the door without knowing his place.
Li Miao sneered, glanced at Qi Heng, and left.
[Li Miao's soul is currently in a state of flux. Li Miao and Li Miao are now evenly matched, and neither dares to take any further steps.]
Ruan Xiyue was a little surprised: [You can do that?]
This situation is more common in cultivation worlds because it's called "body possession."
Li Miao's obsession with you runs too deep; his lingering resentment should have dissipated long ago!
Ruan Xiyue frowned slightly.
Jiu Chen held Ruan Xiyue tightly around the waist, his lowered eyes filled with greed and domineering dissatisfaction: "Are you still thinking about other things? Is it related to those two at the door?"
Ruan Xiyue wrapped her legs around Jiu Chen's waist and looked up at him.
She nodded without saying anything.
A hint of sadness flashed across Jiu Chen's sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes.
A forced smile appeared on his lips: "When do you plan to marry them?"
Ruan Xiyue felt that if she bullied Jiu Chen any longer, he would be like a big cat forcing a smile, about to cry.
Ruan Xiyue kissed Jiu Chen's lips, but he turned his head slightly away. The kiss only landed on the corner of his lips.
Ruan Xiyue raised an eyebrow, pinched Jiu Chen's chin, and bit his thin lips.
After Ruan Xiyue had taken advantage of Jiu Chen, she looked at his narrow, almond-shaped eyes, which were filled with tears. His neck and abs were covered with kiss marks and teeth marks, and she was very satisfied.
Just as she was about to leave, Jiu Chen pulled her into his arms again, their intertwined fingers revealing Jiu Chen's greed and reluctance to let her go.
Ruan Xiyue sensed Jiu Chen's domineering nature and his inherent predatory tendencies.
Her back was covered with fine hickeys and shallow teeth marks, and he kept insisting that she call his name over and over again.
In the late afternoon, sunlight shone through the gaps in the bare branches onto the snow, casting dazzling light and shadow on the ground.
Finally, after being coaxed and teased by Ruan Xiyue, Jiu Chen smiled again.
Ruan Xiyue summoned Qiu Ran for a meeting. Qiu Ran stood tall and straight, her eyes radiating confidence and determination, and respectfully reported to her.
From his calm words, Ruan Xiyue learned that with the help of the beastmen who had successfully removed the mark of exile brought by Long Ze, Qiu Ran quickly displayed his talents and carried out a major reorganization of the guard team.
Now, the entire guard team is on track, and the members are working together more and more smoothly, gradually entering the adjustment period.
Ruan Xiyue nodded in satisfaction, her eyes full of appreciation. She promised Qiu Ran, "Next spring, when you bring your little female companion, I will definitely give her healing water as a wedding gift for you two!"
Then, her expression hardened, and her tone became serious and decisive:
"I'm going to the Beast Tide Land. You need to protect the tribe for me. The Red Fox Tribe has bribed over five thousand wandering orcs. Although we've already eliminated over three thousand, there are still less than two thousand wandering orcs who will attack the tribe. You must help me protect the Lion Tribe and the Cheetah Tribe!"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Ran was shocked and her face was filled with astonishment.
How dare the Red Fox tribe bribe so many wandering orcs to attack their tribe?
And the Holy Mother he followed possessed such extraordinary abilities that she was able to receive such information before they even launched their attack! Furthermore, she reacted swiftly, already annihilating more than half of their forces!
Qiu Ran's admiration and worship for Ruan Xiyue reached a new level!
Although the Lion Tribe and the Cheetah Tribe currently have a combined strength of over 12,000, after deducting the more than 3,000 females left behind by each tribe, as well as the females of the two tribes themselves, there are only about 6,000 male orcs who are truly capable of fighting.
If Ruan Xiyue and her group hadn't wiped out more than three thousand wandering orcs in advance, the two tribes would probably have been doomed this time.
Even though there are only two thousand orcs left now, the two tribes have sent nearly sixteen hundred orcs to resist the beast tide. When the first batch of troop rotations came back, at most seven or eight hundred males returned.
During this period, the tribe's defenses remained very weak.
Thinking of this, Qiu Ran's expression turned solemn. She knelt on one knee and said in a firm and powerful voice, "I will do everything in my power to protect the Lion Clan and the Cheetah Clan!"
Ruan Xiyue nodded slightly, her gaze sharp:
"What I fear most is that when the wandering orcs attack, the guards sent by the Beast King will disobey. You need to make them understand that if the Lion Clan and the Cheetah Clan are severely damaged, simply holding them off won't be enough."
As for how to get them to listen to you, you'll have to figure that out yourself. I'm entrusting this important task to you.
Qiu Ran frowned, seriously considering a solution, while Ruan Xiyue waved her hand, indicating that he could leave.
Ruan Xiyue enjoyed the feast that Jiu Chen had prepared and slept soundly until the moon was high in the sky.
In the darkness, she suddenly opened her eyes, her pupils as dark and bright as the night, revealing a chilling sharpness.
Jiu Chen kissed her forehead and said with concern, "Wife, be careful."
Ruan Xiyue kissed Jiu Chen's lips and said playfully and confidently, "I'm going to work hard to earn beast cores. You stay home and take good care of the house for me. Be a good girl and wait for me to come back!"
Jiu Chen smiled helplessly, nodded indulgently, and unconsciously tightened his grip on Ruan Xiyue's arm: "I only hope you return safely!"
Ruan Xiyue nodded firmly: "Don't worry!"
Under the cover of night, Ruan Xiyue quietly left the Lion Clan tribe like a ghost.
Qi Heng suddenly opened his eyes and, through the connection of the cub's bloodline, keenly sensed Ruan Xiyue's departure.
In a stone house not far away, Li Miao was covered in sweat, his hands tightly gripping his neck, his face contorted in pain and struggle. He tilted his head slightly, as if he could see Ruan Xiyue's departing figure through the stone house.
Ruan Xiyue flew swiftly through the air, her movements as agile as an eagle, giving orders to Duo Duo as she flew: "If there are any more wandering orcs waiting to ambush nearby, tell me immediately!"
Duoduo quickly responded: [Honorable host, there are no living wandering orcs over a hundred kilometers ahead, but there are over four hundred dead corpses.]
When Ruan Xiyue caught up with Long Ze's group, she saw that many of the orcs in the group were injured and looked exhausted.
It seems her guess was correct; the wandering orcs did indeed launch an attack here.
When she landed near Longze and his group, the lion and cheetah beastmen instantly became alert, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Fortunately, when Ruan Xiyue saw the corpse of the wandering orc, she made contact with Long Ze through the earring.
Long Ze hurriedly called out to the crowd, "She is my beast wife, the Holy Female Xi Yue!"
The orcs from the cheetah and lion tribes were filled with surprise and disbelief until they finally saw Ruan Xiyue in person and believed it.
