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

Chapter 290 Returning from Envy

After thinking it over, Ruan Xiyue decided that Li Miao and Qi Heng could only be placed in positions far from the core of her secrets to help her with her tasks.

She calculated the days; Xian would be back in the next couple of days!

Ruan Xiyue got up early to watch the guard team sent by the Treasure-Seeking Rat Tribe swear an oath to the Beast God.

Qi Heng blocked Li Miao's way when she tried to follow, so Li Miao could only watch Ruan Xiyue's back as she left the house.

"What do you want to do? I'm so tired my bones feel like they're going to give way," Li Miao said.

Qi Heng chuckled lightly: "Don't joke around. Yue'er doesn't really have any irresistible desire for you or me."

"She doesn't really like touching you, and she doesn't touch me much either. Do you think I don't know that?"

Qi Heng looked at Li Miao, whose face had turned cold, and said, "Xian Shoufu is coming back soon. If you and I are still acting independently and trying to snatch Yue'er's heart from those beastmen who have been with Yue'er for a long time, then you are just dreaming!"

Li Miao looked coldly at Qi Heng: "You and I are allied? Will that make any difference?"

"Usually, it's a strong alliance. In Yue'er's heart, you and I are the least important."

"What role can our alliance play?"

Qi Heng sighed: "What else can we do? Just continue like this, each going our own way? In the end, we'll get even less attention than Cong Xianshoufu!"

Li Miao remained silent for a moment, gritted his teeth, and turned to leave.

Qi Heng felt that Li Miao must have figured out a way to break the deadlock.

Qi Heng narrowed his eyes. Since Li Miao had come up with a good way to break the deadlock, but didn't take him along, then even if he became favored, he wouldn't take Li Miao along either.

Originally, Ruan Xiyue had taken Qi Heng under her wing during the days Qin Ye was away, but the next day Li Miao would pull Ruan Xiyue aside and ask her why she was being treated differently.

As a result, Ruan Xiyue lost interest in touching the two of them again.

If Qi Heng knew that he couldn't get Ruan Xiyue's kisses and affections and was entirely dependent on Li Miao, one wonders how he would feel.

Li Miao's personality then returned to its extremely restrained state, prompting his other soul, Li Miao, to sneer:

"You don't think Yue'er would like my personality, do you? If she did, wouldn't I be the one being pampered by now? Why would I still be silently following behind her?"

Li Mu did not believe in superstition and remained silent.

Li Miao sighed. He could sense that his remnant soul was unstable. If he fought with Li Miao a few more times, he would probably lose all self-awareness.

Ruan Xiyue asked Jiu Chen's master about this situation, but Jiu Chen's master had never seen anything like it before and had no way to provide a solution.

Li Miao wanted to live; it was a survival instinct.

However, he also knew that Ruan Xiyue had asked on his behalf, which meant she had done her best to help him.

Perhaps it won't be long before he disappears. Just looking at Ruan Xiyue and knowing that she's doing well is good enough.

Li Miao could actually sense some of Li Miao's thoughts, which is why he stopped frantically fighting and devouring Li Miao's soul.

Li Miao would not allow Li Miao to devour his soul again, but he would also not desperately fight with the other party for control of his body, because doing so would only result in both of them suffering losses in the end.

But if Li Miao were to fight back with all his might, he wouldn't hold back either.

Ruan Xiyue was unaware of Li Miao's current situation and was busy with her own things.

Qi Heng was advised by Dong Songlin not to rush things, since they were already a couple. Ruan Xiyue was always good to her partner, and as long as he did his job well, she wouldn't mistreat him.

Jiu Chen's master has been busy for several days just leading the Beast God Oath at the sacrificial square.

After discussing it for a long time, Cong Wen and Luo Qizhao decided to merge the fox tribe with them.

Because in a few months, when Ruan Xiyue leaves with a portion of the orcs and those who came to join her, the Cheetah Lion Tribe will only have about five thousand orcs left.

Some orcs are responsible for hunting, while others take over the bamboo forest and have to travel back and forth to harvest bamboo, so there will be very few orcs left to guard the tribe.

In that case, if the Cheetah Lion tribe were to suffer even a single attack by wandering orcs, it would be irreversibly devastated!

So they and Min Qianhua began to discuss the feasibility of merging their fox clan tribe into the group.

Cong Xian returned quickly. Ruan Xiyue had just finished dealing with the orcs swearing allegiance when she heard that Cong Xian had returned.

She excitedly ran to the entrance of the tribe and looked in the distance. A large group of orcs was heading towards the Cheetah Lion Tribe.

When Cong Xian and the others reached the gate of the Cheetah Lion Tribe, Ruan Xiyue threw herself into Cong Xian's arms.

Xian's original features were already angular, and now that he's tanned, he exudes an even more rugged charm.

Cong Xian gently patted Ruan Xiyue's back: "Sweetie, I'll go back and wash up before I hug you. You're covered in dust."

When Cong Xian came out after taking a bath, wearing only an animal skin skirt, Ruan Xiyue noticed the scars on Cong Xian's body.

She frowned: "How come you have so many scars on your body!"

After wiping the water droplets off his body, Xian still had goosebumps on his chest. He smiled and said, "I encountered an ambush by wandering orcs while hunting. But thankfully, I dealt with it all."

Ruan Xiyue hugged him tightly: "Why didn't you tell me!"

Cong Xian rested his chin on the top of Ruan Xiyue's head and gently patted Ruan Xiyue's back: "I killed them all, but I was a little injured. So, I didn't tell you, because I was afraid you would worry."

Ruan Xiyue pursed her lips, remained silent for a moment, and then asked, "Were they wandering beastmen hired by the Red Fox Tribe?"

Cong Xian shook his head: "It shouldn't be. When the Beast City was being built, the Beast King had the responsibility to wipe out any tribe that deliberately obstructed its construction. I don't think the Red Fox Tribe is stupid."

"Furthermore, there were only a few hundred wandering orcs at the time. Jiu Chen said that the Cheetah Lion Tribe was besieged by several thousand wandering orcs, but you learned of their plan in advance and killed all of these wandering orcs in batches early on."

"I initially thought it was a wandering orc bribed by the orcs of the Red Fox Tribe, but after comparing it with the situation on your side..."

“I rejected that guess myself because the number was too small.”

Ruan Xiyue hugged Cong Xian's slender waist, pressed close to him, and raised her small face to say to him, "Let's go upstairs and rest for a while. I'll let your precious son and daughter out; they've grown so much!"

You've lost weight!

Ruan Xiyue talked on and on, and Cong Xian just looked at Ruan Xiyue with satisfaction, his eyes full of her, and occasionally answered a few of her questions.

Li Miao and Qi Heng watched their previous interaction, their feelings known only to themselves.

Cong Xian still greeted them politely, which was considered an acknowledgment of their status as Ruan Xiyue's beast husbands.

But from what we can see, the resentment and sadness in Qi Heng and Li Miao's eyes when they look at Ruan Xiyue are still very obvious.
