Chapter 204 Sorrow
However, the condition of the cub in Lu An'an's belly was a real headache for the Beast King.
He prayed that it wouldn't be such a coincidence. He had just been planning to take the ancestral bloodline cub born by Ruan Xiyue over, so how could something like this suddenly happen?
The timing of this incident is just too suspicious!
He instinctively suspected that Xia Weier had informed Ruan Xiyue in time through some unknown means, and that the two of them had conspired to do this in order to prevent him from taking the cub away!
But after calming down and thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was simply impossible.
It's practically impossible for them to exchange information in such a short time.
Keep in mind that even the fastest Eagle Beastmen take half a month to deliver a message, and only a few days have passed.
But he felt uneasy and couldn't completely convince himself.
The Beast King grew increasingly agitated and strode out of the secret chamber.
He had to use other methods to extract the secret from his brother.
Upon arriving outside the dilapidated hall, the Beast King quickly made a hand gesture towards the air.
A moment later, a high-ranking male orc knelt on one knee and appeared respectfully before him.
"Go and arrange for a reliable Silver Lamp Great Healer to stay next to my bedchamber," the Beast King said in a deep voice, already planning the delivery in his mind.
He thought that if things went wrong, it wouldn't be a bad idea to cut open Lu An'an's abdomen and take out the cub when it was almost ready to be born.
The runes on the stone bed are becoming less and less effective at suppressing the loss of life force. If Ruan Xiyue's firstborn son really cannot be saved, then she can only hope for the next pregnancy.
Therefore, he still needs to treat Ruan Xiyue better, since he will have to rely on her to give him a good grandson in the future!
------------
In recent days, the Lion Tribe and the Cheetah Tribe seem to be shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere, so oppressive that it's hard to breathe.
Even after the first wave of females who drank the "Blessing Healing Water" gave birth to cubs, it couldn't dispel the oppressive atmosphere.
Look at these newborn little ones, each one exudes intelligence and possesses extraordinary talent.
Five out of ten families gave birth to cubs that looked like human infants, while the remaining five families, although born in animal form, successfully transformed into human form within a few days.
Amidst this joy of new life, there were one or two females among the thirty or fifty households whose offspring had yet to take human form.
However, these females were not too anxious. They were all confident that with the Holy Mother Xiyue and the High Priest Jiuchen around, their cubs would definitely be able to successfully transform.
In normal times, for such a joyous occasion, the Lion Clan and the Cheetah Clan would definitely hold a grand bonfire party, singing and dancing, and the festivities would last for three days and three nights.
Now, when people pass by Ruan Xiyue's house, they don't even dare to breathe loudly, let alone mention the cubs.
The witch doctor had been extremely busy lately. He had just come out of the delivery room when Ruan Xiyue's beast husband hurriedly dragged him away. This had happened three times already.
As the news gradually spread, it turned out that the cub that Ruan Xiyue had given birth to was in bad shape.
It is said that the first three cubs born in each litter of Xiaweier's beast husband contracted a strange disease.
Knowing the truth, the orc secretly told his close companions the truth: Xiaweier's beast mother had been tricked into using a dark secret technique to steal the life of her cubs.
In an instant, the entire tribe was filled with fear, and terror spread through the hearts of every orc.
Some well-meaning orcs spontaneously brought fresh fruits, vegetables, and meat to visit Ruan Xiyue.
But when they saw Ruan Xiyue, they were all speechless with shock.
She, who was once radiant, is now like a flower that has withered in an instant, her face haggard and her whole being devoid of spirit, which is heartbreaking to see.
In reality, Ruan Xiyue even spent a huge sum of money in the system store to make herself look ugly: 8 points to buy a book on how to make simple makeup products!
Then I secretly made some cosmetics and pampered myself.
To make her performance more realistic, she even acted like a lost soul in front of Long Ze and the others.
Jiu Chen was genuinely frightened at first.
Because the "young cubs" are indeed getting weaker and weaker.
He even sent an urgent message to his master!
However, as time went on, they gradually realized that something was wrong.
Orcs of the Red rank and above have very keen senses.
They were worried that Ruan Xiyue might be depressed and brood over it.
As a result, eavesdropping on Ruan Xiyue's movements revealed that she had no appetite at the dinner table. However, back in her room, she ate with great relish.
Furthermore, they believed that Ruan Xiyue was secretly crying.
But the more they eavesdropped, the more something seemed off.
Was that the sound of someone secretly crying? It sounds more like someone trying to suppress a laugh...
They didn't overhear wrong!
Ruan Xiyue also spent nearly 20,000 points to have Duoduo buy her several funny cartoons...
Tired of watching cartoons, she even used animal hide scrolls to design the inner city commercial street of Hope Beast City, as well as the plans for the cubs' amusement facilities. There are also plans for the outer city commercial street and the cubs' amusement park.
Long Ze was the first to notice something amiss, and he couldn't help but secretly remind Ruan Xiyue: "There are quite a few red-rank orcs in the tribe. If you listen carefully, you can easily find the clues."
Ruan Xiyue then repented and began to look gloomy and listless every day, as if she had no interest in animal life anymore.
Xia Weier was finally almost there. Ruan Xiyue calculated the days and directly caused the three cubs disguised as androids to lose their life force.
Ruan Xiyue, trembling, stumbled and ran with the three "babies" in her arms to the shaman's residence, and then rushed to the house where the shaman was delivering the baby.
As soon as the witch doctor came out, Ruan Xiyue knelt down in front of him with a "plop".
The witch doctor was so frightened that he immediately pulled Ruan Xiyue up.
Ruan Xiyue specifically used her wind-based superpower to make herself feel light and airy when she was lifted up.
"Save...save my cub..." Ruan Xiyue looked at the witch doctor pleadingly, her tears dried up and the tear stains on her face.
The witch doctor quickly pulled Ruan Xiyue into the home of the orc who had just given birth.
The witch doctor then reached out to touch the cub, but upon touching it... he was so frightened that he immediately withdrew his hand.
It's not only cold... it's frozen solid!
The witch doctor opened his mouth, lowered his head, and uttered a few words: "Holy Maiden Xiyue, please accept my condolences..."
Ruan Xiyue burst into tears, shaking her head violently. She removed the witch doctor's hand, then hugged the cub and ran out.
The witch doctor took a few steps after him, but didn't know what to say.
All the beastmen who saw Ruan Xiyue silently avoided her, unsure how to advise her.
Long Ze caught up and saw that Ruan Xiyue seemed to be running out of the tribe. He chased after her, hugged her, and said, "Aye will go find the shaman of the Cheetah Tribe to take a look!"
After saying that, he chopped Ruan Xiyue unconscious with a single chop.
He then carried Ruan Xiyue, protecting the three cubs in her arms, and quickly walked back home.
