Chapter 324 Fighting
Were the Red Fox tribe truly stupid? No. They always believed that someone with such sophisticated weapons and extraordinary abilities must be a subordinate of the Beast King.
He was either a subordinate of the Beast King or a subordinate of a prince.
The Beast King was already being very lenient by not enslaving their entire race! Why are they still clinging to the murderer? Are they courting death?
Of course, the orcs of the Red Fox tribe also wondered what would happen if they weren't the Beast King's men.
The orcs of the Red Fox tribe laughed. How much did the Beast King like to hold power firmly in his hands?
If such a fine team is not known to the Beast King among the orcs, the one who would be even more anxious than the Red Fox Tribe would definitely be the Beast King!
Therefore, once the elders of the Red Fox tribe learned that the Beast King knew about their tribe's collusion with wandering beastmen to kill the Holy Maiden Ruan Xiyue, they didn't dwell on the Red Fox tribe's attack during the beast tide.
The elders of the Red Fox tribe naturally received many pitying orcs who verbally offered to help them investigate who had done it.
However, considering himself very clever, he didn't elaborate on the details, and even spoke vaguely and evasively.
If those forces, such as blacksmithing clans, eagle clans, and other tribes, want to investigate on their own, then it's none of the Red Fox Tribe's business.
Therefore, the orcs sent by the Beast King's current Holy Female Consort to sow discord could only return empty-handed.
Although the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Princess were from the Red Fox Tribe, the Red Fox Tribe would not have made this foolish move if it weren't for them.
Not only did they lose so many orcs, but the entire tribe was also relegated to garrisoning the border towns.
Not only is there widespread discontent within the Red Fox Tribe, but despite the Seventh Prince and Eighth Princess pleading with the Beast King, nothing has changed. Furthermore, they haven't offered any substantial subsidies, such as beast cores, to the Red Fox Tribe.
The Red Fox Tribe and these two have essentially severed ties.
Therefore, even if the Beast King's partner is furious, there is nothing she can do for the time being.
Ruan Xiyue was unaware of the intricacies of the situation. She chatted with Qin Ye for a long time and then pleaded with him, "I want to see you, I want to be by your side right now."
"Alright, sweetie, I'll supervise everyone's construction from here. I'll try my best to bring your blueprints to life. When you arrive, we won't have to be apart anymore."
Ruan Xiyue had no choice but to agree, and reluctantly hung up the phone with Qin Ye.
Ruan Xiyue held her own little cubs and stroked them one by one.
Lion cub, leopard cub, iron-eating beast, civet cat, fox...
She absolutely adored the fluffy little cubs.
Of course, although Ruan Xiyue didn't particularly like the dragon cubs and jiao cubs, she wouldn't let them be sad. She let the little cubs wrap around her wrists and they had a great time playing with them.
Li Miao returned first, and he looked at Ruan Xiyue: "The cubs are all sleepy, it's time to let them go to the cub room to rest."
One cub room was no longer enough for the little cubs, so the guest bedroom on the first floor was naturally used for their rest.
After Ruan Xiyue and Li Miao settled the cubs, Li Miao was about to take Ruan Xiyue to wash up and go to bed when Qi Heng returned.
"I made an appointment with Yue'er that I would serve her tonight, so Li Miao doesn't need to do it for her."
With that, Qi Heng closed the door, strode over, and took Ruan Xiyue from Li Miao's hands.
Qi Heng knew that Ruan Xiyue's feelings for him were not yet deep, so he took the initiative to talk to Ruan Xiyue about Dong Songlin's reaction after hearing what he said.
Qi Heng scooped hot water for Ruan Xiyue and poured it onto her shoulders and neck in the bathtub, while massaging her other shoulder and neck.
Then, Qi Heng said to Ruan Xiyue, "Uncle Dong Songlin wants to bring a team of adult and young guards."
"I estimate that there will also be younger generations who have close relationships with the elders of each family."
Ruan Xiyue rested her head gently on her arm draped over the edge of the bathtub and asked Qi Heng, "They want to hear what kind of teachers Xia Weier found can teach?"
Qi Heng nodded: "Yes."
Ruan Xiyue said nonchalantly, "These things don't matter. Does your tribe have a great shaman?"
Qi Heng tensed up: "Yes! What's wrong? Is one of the cubs feeling unwell?"
Ruan Xiyue shook her head: "No, I'm not feeling well while acting. I just don't know if I can ask your tribe's chief shaman to come and help me."
Qi Heng frowned: "Our tribe's chief witch doctor... she's a bit rigid and might not help you lie."
Ruan Xiyue raised an eyebrow and drifted off to sleep, warmed by the hot water.
“It’s okay, I don’t need to tell her. I can make myself look like I’m really sick.”
Qi Heng frowned, still worried: "Will it harm my body?"
Ruan Xiyue shook her head: "No."
While Ruan Xiyue was playing with the cubs, she asked Duoduo if the system could fake that she was not feeling well.
According to Duoduo, if the system helps Ruan Xiyue fake illness, even a high-ranking shaman or high priest wouldn't be able to detect it.
Upon hearing this, Ruan Xiyue naturally thought of a way to escape to the Holy City.
Regardless of whether the Holy City will actually send orcs to take her away, it's always better to be safe than sorry!
She'll pretend that this pregnancy is going to be difficult first!
As Ruan Xiyue and Qi Heng were chatting, Li Miao knocked on the door.
Qi Heng frowned slightly. He slowly scooped Ruan Xiyue out of the bathtub and wrapped her in a large piece of linen.
"Stop knocking! It's like you're knocking me unconscious!" Qi Heng was extremely annoyed by Li Miao's persistent knocking.
When Qi Heng carried Ruan Xiyue out of the changing room, he looked coldly at Li Miao without saying a word.
Li Miao looked at Ruan Xiyue dismissively: "You know that it's not good to soak in the bath for too long, it's bad for your health."
Ruan Xiyue nodded, but then said, "Next time you can just say it at the door."
Li Miao pursed her lips: "I care about you, and when I care, I lose my composure."
Qi Heng, however, was not buying it: "You could have told me before you went in. It's no use arguing today. Yue'er agreed to it a long time ago."
Ruan Xiyue frowned slightly: "Alright, stop arguing!"
Li Miao pursed her lips, mustered her courage, and said, "I can join..."
Ruan Xiyue simply raised her foot and lightly kicked Li Miao's forearm.
"Tomorrow belongs to you. Even if I come back from hunting tomorrow, I will still belong to you, okay?"
Qi Heng and Li Miao argued so fiercely that their faces turned red. Asking them to lie on the same bed with her was just ridiculous.
Ruan Xiyue thought about it and figured out why Li Miao insisted on making a scene.
Li Miao is returning from the hunting trip tomorrow, and he's afraid that Ruan Xiyue will always put him last in her list.
Having received Ruan Xiyue's promise, Li Miao opened his eyes, glanced at Qi Heng, and in front of him, lowered his head and lightly kissed Ruan Xiyue's red lips before turning and leaving.
Qi Heng narrowed his eyes, accepting Li Miao's open provocation. He carried Ruan Xiyue and walked upstairs.
