Chapter 165 A moment of warmth
The artist gathered the animal skin scrolls together, rolled them into a roll, and when he finished, he specifically showed it to Ruan Xiyue for inspection.
As a result, Ruan Xiyue was unable to open the animal skin scroll at all.
He nodded and gave a thumbs up.
It wasn't until the middle-aged male of the guard came to pick up the painter that he explained to Ruan Xiyue: "This animal skin scroll was cursed by the Silver Cup High Priest."
Seeing Ruan Xiyue frown, he quickly said, "The spell is this: only the Beast King himself can open this animal skin scroll. Other beastmen have no way of knowing the contents of the scroll."
"The potion the painter just drank was also a potion of forgetfulness, concocted by the great healer Iron Cup. He will forget everything he saw this afternoon in a little while."
Ruan Xiyue frowned slightly: "Do all the granddaughters and grandsons of the Beast Kings receive this treatment?"
The middle-aged orc shook his head: "No. It's because the other princes' holy wives often bring their cubs to visit the Beast King."
"The Beast King knew that the Holy Consort Xiyue had her own ideas, and he did not want to disrupt her life. Therefore, he could only come up with this solution."
If Ruan Xiyue hadn't heard from Xia Weier how the Beast King had turned a blind eye when Xia Weier was being bullied, she would almost have believed that the Beast King was a good beastman.
“If there’s nothing else, we’ll take the painter to rest first. We hope that Holy Mother Ruan Xiyue will come to the council hall tomorrow morning. Regarding the handling of the Great Bamboo Lemur Clan and other issues, we will give Holy Mother Ruan Xiyue an answer first thing tomorrow morning in front of the Lion Clan Chief and the Cheetah Clan Chief.”
"However, the Beast King has one condition."
Ruan Xiyue raised her eyebrows and gestured for her to speak: "Please go ahead."
"The Beast King hopes that the Holy Mother Xiyue will give birth to the Third Prince's cub again as soon as possible. The Holy Mother Xiyue can also make a request if there is anything she wants. The Beast King will try his best to fulfill the Holy Mother Xiyue's wishes."
The middle-aged orc originally thought that Ruan Xiyue would be very disgusted by this.
Unexpectedly, he saw Ruan Xiyue's eyes shining, as if she were a wild beast that hadn't eaten for eight meals and was seeing a delicious meal before it died.
Ruan Xiyue noticed the middle-aged beastman's surprise.
She couldn't help but sneer inwardly: What? Did you think I would say, "How dare you belittle my noble soul?"
What is it that my love for Xia Weier is incomparable to material things?
Get out! Even a penny less is a disrespect for wealth!
If her love for Xia Weier were coupled with an endless stream of wealth, she would love him even more! It's that simple!
"I have no problem with the Beast King's request! Now, shall I tell you what I need, or shall I bring it up at tomorrow's meeting? I need... quite a lot. If you try to remember it all now, you probably won't be able to."
The middle-aged orc was even more astonished. This wasn't the first time he had relayed a message from the Beast King to his daughters-in-law.
When other saints hear such a request, wouldn't they politely say that they don't need anything?
Ruan Xiyue won't tolerate these people! You talk big, asking me what I want, saying you'll give me anything I want?
Then you'd better have everything I want!
Otherwise, I won't be the one feeling embarrassed!
This is Ruan Xiyue's philosophy: If you dare say that, I dare to take it! What a joke, being polite with you? Not a chance!
The middle-aged orc couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, offering an awkward yet polite smile: "Then let's talk about it at tomorrow's meeting? It's not convenient for the recorder to take notes right now."
Ruan Xiyue nodded, indicating that there was no problem!
Long Ze, his hair still dripping wet, came to Ruan Xiyue after taking a shower.
Ruan Xiyue sniffed the soap scent on him and raised an eyebrow: "You ran fast! Where's your wound? Let me treat it quickly, or I'll deal with you tonight!"
Long Ze smiled, unable to suppress his laughter, revealing the wound on his abdomen. He placed Ruan Xiyue's hand on his abs: "So what do I do, wanting you to heal me but also wanting you to punish me?"
"Huh—you've been gone for so long, and when you come back, you're spouting sweet nothings so easily! You didn't go flirting with other females, did you?" Ruan Xiyue asked, squinting as she treated Long Ze's injuries.
Long Ze kissed Ruan Xiyue's earlobe, his deep voice seductive: "If I were, what would you do with me?"
Ruan Xiyue frowned and pouted, "What's wrong with you? Are you so eager for me to punish you?"
Long Ze gently bit Ruan Xiyue's earlobe with his teeth, mumbling, "How long have I been a virgin? A few months, right? You're abusing me!"
"Hey, don't try to shift the blame first! Last time in Lierbeast City, you insisted on using... your mouth... I'm not talking to you anymore." Ruan Xiyue stuffed a mid-grade energy pill into her mouth and turned to leave.
Long Ze picked up Ruan Xiyue and said to Qin Ye, "Dinner is in your hands!"
Long Ze gently placed Ruan Xiyue on the animal skin cushion, kissed her as her heart pounded, her cheeks flushed.
Long Ze spoke up: "I haven't seen my daughter in a long time."
Ruan Xiyue's face immediately fell, and she released Long Niannian and Ruan Sisi.
At first, the two daughters nestled on Longze's head in animal form, but after a while, they transformed into the image of babies, placed Longze in the center of the bed, and giggled at him.
Long Ze held his two chubby little daughters for a long time, then fell into a deep sleep with them in his arms.
Ruan Xiyue held Long Ze's hand tightly, kissed it, and slowly drifted off to sleep.
After Qin Ye brought the food up, he saw that the four of them were sleeping soundly in bed and couldn't bear to wake them. He gently came up behind Ruan Xiyue, hugged her from behind, and slept soundly until dawn.
As dawn broke, Ruan Xiyue, feeling very hungry, quickly ate all the food that was warm in the insulated stone bowl on her bedside table.
Before they set off for the council hall, Longze had a rough idea of what had happened recently.
"So, the Spirit Fox Tribe is now trying to take control of our wife," Long Ze asked.
Qin Ye nodded: "Yue'er has partnered with the Treasure-Hunting Rat Tribe. Brother, are you familiar with the Treasure-Hunting Rat Tribe?"
Long Ze lowered his eyes and thought for a moment: "Although this tribe is somewhat complicated, overall, more than half of the decision-makers can understand the orc language."
"I've never been very optimistic about the Spirit Fox Tribe because their choices often make me feel like their intelligence is rented out. If they don't pay their dues, their intelligence is out of service."
Qin Ye couldn't help but chuckle softly: "For you to describe them like that, it's clear they've done plenty of ridiculous things."
"Does Qi Heng genuinely want to marry Yue'er, or is he just putting on an act of deep affection?" Long Ze lifted his eyelids and looked at Qin Ye.
Qin Ye shook his head: "My hostility towards him isn't as uncomfortable as when I saw Jiu Chen. It's about the same as when I found out Cong Xian was going to marry Yue'er."
Ruan Xiyue looked at Qin Ye in confusion: "What do you mean?"
Qin Ye's smile remained unchanged, but his eyes were filled with the desire to devour Ruan Xiyue. He said, "It's just that I sense he has feelings for you, and that you don't care about him as much as you care about me."
Ruan Xiyue thought that it seemed Qin Ye reacted differently to each of her beast husbands.
"Alright! We'll discuss this when we get back tonight! Now, let's go out! My dear husbands, I want to hear how the Beast King plans to deal with the Great Bamboo Lemur Clan, and whether he can really give in to my outrageous demands!"
