Chapter 248 Ruan Xiyue vs. Beast King
Jiu Chen opened the door and found that the person standing there was neither Qi Heng nor Li Miao, but Qiu Ran.
Qiu Ran came to report the news he had recently gathered: "Longze Beastmaster has handed over all the wandering beastmen whose banishment marks have been removed to me, and I've scattered them into the guard team. So far, their integration is going quite well."
"In addition, more than forty flying beastmen have been incorporated into the information team. Since we have no other sources of information for the time being, all information is collected and organized from Longze Beastman."
"They just flew back from a nearby location this morning, bringing some new information. Longze Beast Husband had previously instructed that any information should be compiled and reported directly to the Holy Mother."
Ruan Xiyue raised an eyebrow and looked at Long Ze, who was lazily reclining on the carpet playing with the cubs. She felt incredibly happy—having a smart, powerful, and useful beast husband was simply a blessing from heaven!
She gestured with her hand, "Please sit down and talk."
When Qiu Ran sat down, Long Ze got up and poured him a glass of water.
"First, there's news from the Holy City," Qiu Ran began her report.
Ruan Xiyue couldn't help but look at Long Ze, her face full of surprise—Long Ze actually had spies in the Holy City?
"After receiving Jiu Chen's message, Jiu Chen's master was attacked by wandering beastmen on his way to the Lion Clan tribe." As soon as Qiu Ran finished speaking, Jiu Chen frowned and unconsciously tightened his grip on Ruan Xiyue's hand.
Jiu Chen asked anxiously, "Is my master alright?"
Qiu Ran nodded: "He's alright. He was rescued by a group of guards. However, those guards took him directly to the Holy City. After that, Jiu Chen's master entered the Holy City and hasn't come out yet."
Jiu Chen frowned, a vague unease creeping into his heart.
The Beast King did indeed send a team of orcs to find Jiu Chen's master.
Jiu Chen's master is currently being held captive in the Holy City, where he is being treated to good food and drink on the surface.
But in reality, the Beast King had two purposes: first, to confirm whether Jiu Chen's master had really broken the Life Stealing Technique, because the Beast King did not believe the news of the cub's death; second, to have Jiu Chen's master break the curse on the Black Witch Doctor in the underground chamber.
However, if Jiu Chen's master were to find out about the underground chamber, the Beast King would never allow him to leave the Holy City alive.
Jiuchen's master spoke very sincerely to the Beast King: "I thought the Life Stealing Technique had been broken, but obviously we didn't succeed."
He repeatedly apologized to the Beast King and explained the situation in detail.
The Beast King confirmed repeatedly that Jiu Chen's master seemed genuinely apologetic for failing to undo the Life Stealing Technique.
However, did Jiu Chen's master really not know that he had actually been freed from the curse?
No, he knew better than anyone that he had indeed deactivated it!
But he was extremely quick-witted and immediately decided to take the blame.
He guessed that the Holy Female Ruan Xiyue might need to make the Beast King think that they hadn't cracked the Life Stealing Technique in order to hide some important plans.
Furthermore, he wasn't very definitive in his words, repeatedly suggesting that he go and see the cub's corpse, as well as the condition of Ruan Xiyue and the Third Prince, in an attempt to buy himself some opportunities.
However, the Beast King forbade it.
The Beast King had also suspected that Jiu Chen's master might have broken the Life Stealing Technique, but the guard team confirmed again and again that they had indeed seen the cub's corpse.
The Beast King could only speculate that either the code hadn't been completely cracked at the time.
Either the cubs are weakened after being deprived of their life force by the life-stealing technique, and eventually die from minor illnesses.
The Beast King once wanted to send Jiu Chen's master into an underground secret chamber.
After all, having Lu An'an give birth to cubs was also an important plan in the Beast King's mind.
Lu An'an is a beneficiary of the life-stealing technique. The life force that the baby in her womb steals is all from the ancestral bloodline!
How could a child born with poor aptitude be born?
In addition, the Beast King believed that since Jiu Chen's master had failed to protect the cubs, there was no point in him living. He thought that Jiu Chen's master couldn't even handle such a small matter, so what was the point of his life?
However, the Beast King still seemed to have some concerns, after all, the relationship between Xia Weier and Ruan Xiyue was already somewhat delicate.
If Jiu Chen's master dies in the Holy City, the relationship between Ruan Xiyue and Xia Weier will become even more strained.
Their relationship was already strained because of the death of their cub. If the life of the Nine Star Beast Master were to become another obstacle, would the Beast King still be able to have the ancestral bloodline cub he was hoping for?
Therefore, the Beast King is still entangled in this dilemma, and Jiu Chen's master has also been detained until now.
However, the Beast King was showing signs of relenting! He asked Jiu Chen's master if he could break the Life Stealing Technique if given another chance.
After much deliberation, Jiu Chen's master told the Beast King, "The only way is to kill the black witch doctor who cast the spell, or the orc who benefited from the life-stealing technique! Otherwise, it's still not safe!"
The Beast King remained silent for a long time before letting Jiu Chen's master leave the main hall.
Of course, Long Ze's spies in the Holy City would never be able to find out about these things!
However, they also brought a message!
Qiu Ran reported: "The Snow Rabbit Tribe sent orcs to the Holy City, and after their unpleasant encounter with the Second Prince, they began purchasing a large number of slaves. It seems they plan to send a guard team with slaves to the Lion Tribe after spring!"
Ruan Xiyue looked puzzled.
Jiu Chen tucked a stray hair behind Ruan Xiyue's ear and whispered to her, "The Haoyue Rabbit Clan doesn't have its own tribe; they've joined the Snow Rabbit Clan."
"The Snow Rabbit Tribe's move is probably because they know you can give birth to cubs with atavistic bloodlines, and they want to establish a relationship with you and get a share of the profits."
"If I'm not mistaken, no matter how many slaves the Xiaweier beastmen send, they will try their best to select a batch of high-quality slaves, along with the strong, high-ranking males from their tribe!"
Ruan Xiyue leaned over and lightly bit Jiu Chen's neck, saying in a muffled voice, "Jealous? I would never accept a male sent by their tribe!"
Ruan Xiyue said firmly, "The Beast King only wants to strengthen the Bright Moon Rabbit Clan. If I were to take in a male Snow Rabbit, the Beast King would really call me a fool again!"
The Bright Moon Rabbit Clan is a branch of the Snow Rabbit Tribe. Only when the Bright Moon Rabbit Clan becomes powerful can it gain control over the entire Snow Rabbit Tribe.
This clearly shows that the Moon Rabbit and the Snow Rabbit are united, but also have a certain competitive interest!
So, Ruan Xiyue must be crazy to accept a handsome man offered by the Snow Rabbit Clan!
Ruan Xiyue still needs the Beast King to receive the complaint from the Red Fox Tribe and smooth things over! She won't accept benefits from the opposing interest groups to provoke the Beast King's suspicious and fragile nerves!
Ruan Xiyue leaned against Jiu Chen's chest and asked Qiu Ran, "Is there anything else important happening in the Holy City?"
Qiu Ran shook her head, and Ruan Xiyue said, "Then Jiu Chen should write a letter to your master and ask him to help us figure out how to completely break the Life Stealing Technique. Otherwise, I dare not allow Xia Weier to give birth to another cub!"
Ruan Xiyue suspected that the Beast King might have harbored murderous intent towards Jiu Chen's master. She would make him swallow that murderous intent!
If you don't release her, I won't have any more children with your son!
It all depends on what choice the Beast King makes!
