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

Chapter 396 The Girls' Tea Party

Qiu Ran glanced at the guard captains and frowned slightly: "Alright! The Holy Mother has already given us great benefits! The two healing water benefits have been directly exchanged for the female healing water that we have to work for a year and a half, and the pregnancy-stabilizing medicine that we can only exchange for points after working as guards for two years."

"What else do you want? Don't push your luck!"

Ruan Xiyue's lips curled up slightly. She didn't want to say anything more; a combination of kindness and severity was the best approach.

Ruan Xiyue waved her hand: "If you all agree, then go and inform your orcs!"

Ruan Xiyue looked at Qiu Ran: "You stay here, I have something to ask you to do."

Qiu Ran's eyes lit up. After the other guard captains left, Ruan Xiyue handed Qiu Ran three low-level energy fruits: "Your sister can't eat mid-to-high-level energy fruits. Is she planning to have another cub with her beast husband this time?"

Qiu Ran frowned and nodded: "I think her body might not be able to take it, but no matter how I try to persuade her, she won't listen. She really loves the cubs too much."

Ruan Xiyue sighed, "I also think her health needs to be taken a little longer. Could you call Luo Yurou and the others over for me? I'll see if they have any ideas!"

Qiu Ran nodded, then stared at Ruan Xiyue for a while. Seeing that Ruan Xiyue really had nothing else to say, she turned and left Ruan Xiyue's house.

Ruan Xiyue kept Qiu Ran with her as a reward for his words, which touched her heart.

Therefore, he was given three low-level energy fruits.

Sending him to call Luo Yurou and the others was naturally out of a little ulterior motive—to help Luo Yurou and Chu Jiayun.

Finally, she did indeed have something to discuss with Luo Yurou and Chu Jiayun!

Killing three birds with one stone, perfect!

Luo Yurou arrived at Ruan Xiyue's house and immediately lay down on Ruan Xiyue's recliner sofa.

Chu Jiayun, Qiu Cici, and the others also lay down on the sofa chairs before looking at Ruan Xiyue.

Luo Yurou turned to the side and asked, "What do you want to talk about today? I heard that the construction projects of the four colleges in the outer city have been contracted out to more than a dozen tribes?"

Ruan Xiyue also lay on the sofa chair and nodded: "Of course! I originally thought that only four or five tribes were doing this, so it must be quite slow."

Luo Yurou rolled her eyes: "With such huge benefits you promised, even a fool would be scrambling to get involved, okay? Our Cheetah Lion Tribe is participating too!"

Ruan Xiyue nodded: "I know, I originally said that I could just give it to our tribe directly..."

Luo Yurou sat up abruptly from the reclining sofa chair: "Don't you dare!"

"Our tribe's orcs are no worse than other orcs! We can't let them all become useless! Getting used to you giving them benefits is a very dangerous thing! We can't do that!"

"Leave the rest to me. Min Qianhua and your beast husband Qin Ye, and your beast husband Cong Xian, you don't need to get involved!"

Ruan Xiyue nodded: "I didn't intend to get involved in this matter. I called you here today because of something else."

Luo Yurou frowned, looking at Ruan Xiyue with a complicated expression.

Chu Jiayun also looked over warily.

Ruan Xiyue felt that they were acting strangely, but she still said, "I must ask you how you balance the jealousy and rivalry between your beast husbands?"

Luo Yurou was stunned, looking completely bewildered.

Chu Jiayun breathed a sigh of relief: "Is this what you wanted to talk about?"

Ruan Xiyue nodded: "That's right, what else?"

Chu Jiayun breathed a sigh of relief and slowly lay back on the recliner: "We thought you were going to start some new project again. We're short-handed right now. With the expansion and increased production in all the crafts, there simply aren't enough females."

"The males are mostly busy building the beast city, hunting, and guarding, and they have no time to do anything else. The beast city is so big that a lot of people are needed for hunting every day."

It's only been a short spring! The beasts from last year's beast tide season are almost gone. The beast city consumes meat not only from our own orcs, but also from many other orcs from elsewhere. After they've tasted the deliciousness of stir-fries, the restaurants in our inner city are making a fortune of beast cores every day!

Even the injured males and those in poor physical condition were busy gathering.

“In the past, gathering was a job for females.”

"Now that the weaker males are busy gathering, the male mortality rate in our tribe has dropped several times over in the past two years!"

"However, there are not enough females."

"Right now, all the females are busy spinning, making pottery, and growing hemp. Even the papermaking you taught is basically being done by the females."

"Right now, the entire Beast City is short-handed, not nearly enough."

"So, if you have any new projects, put them on hold for now."

Ruan Xiyue exclaimed in surprise, "Is that exaggerated? Didn't Xia Weier bring back so many slaves?"

Luo Yurou rolled her eyes: "Speaking of this, I get so angry! You, Qin Ye, insist on keeping them, especially the hundreds of females, and you won't remove their slave marks from them. But if you don't remove their slave marks, who among us would dare to let them do any technical work?"

Ruan Xiyue raised an eyebrow: "Oh—didn't you used to be called Qin Giegie?"

Luo Yurou shuddered, looking disgusted: "Don't mention the things I did when I was young and ignorant, they're really disgusting."

"You can't say that! My husband has his reasons for doing this!"

Luo Yurou rolled her eyes: "I know! But do you know what? We've received orders from many tribes! Orders for wool scarves, hats, wool sweaters, wool fur skirts, and the like, tens of thousands of orders! Do you know how it feels when we knit sweaters every day until we're sick of it and want to throw up?"

"I'm not even interested in beast cores anymore! Ugh—I'm sick of earning beast cores, it's disgusting..."

Chu Jiayun glared at Luo Yurou: "Qiu Cici's tribe wants to cooperate with us and transfer their technology to us, but our elders haven't approved it yet!"

"Stop saying things that will make the other orcs hate you!"

Chu Jiayun looked at Ruan Xiyue: "We finally managed to find some time to meet and chat, let's not talk about those disgusting topics. What's wrong with you? Aren't you and your husband getting along quite well?"

The other females, who couldn't get a word in edgewise, also looked over curiously.

Ruan Xiyue sighed and then gave a brief account of what had happened the previous night.

Luo Yurou opened her mouth wide, as did Chu Jiayun. All six little females present slightly opened their mouths, looking at Ruan Xiyue.

Ruan Xiyue asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Luo Yurou gave a thumbs up: "Brother Qin Ye, you really are still my brother!"

Chu Jiayun frowned and said, "This matter cannot be allowed to be known by the orcs of the Witch Doctor's Hospital and the Priest's Court. Otherwise, they will definitely cause trouble!"

The other females nodded in agreement, and Chu Jiayun took out a shielding disk from her storage bag.

Ruan Xiyue was somewhat surprised: "You've become this rich now?"

Chu Jiayun spread her hands: "During the beast tide season, we recruited two more beast husbands, one from the mammoth tribe and the young chief of the honey badger tribe."

Luo Yurou nodded: "They're all pretty good-looking, I don't know why they didn't fall for me but fell for her."
