Chapter 359 It's going to be bad
Qi naturally knew that, in the next step, all the guards who were familiar with Ruan Xiyue were sent to the Cheetah Lion Tribe.
On one hand, they were afraid of suffering if they stayed in the Holy City; on the other hand, they wanted to dig up the ancestral graves of the Cheetah Lion Tribe... If they didn't bring more orcs, the Cheetah Lion Tribe would be a fool not to fight them to the death!
They hesitated for a long time, but ultimately decided not to tell Holy Mother Ruan Xiyue. This matter... was really too difficult to say.
Moreover, they were accompanied by other guards who were there to keep an eye on them and prevent them from delivering messages.
The guard captain and the other orcs were very uneasy and worried.
The "healing water" they brought back had already made their partners pregnant, and they were about to give birth when the Beast King suddenly caused this incident.
"Team Twelfth, tell me... what exactly is going on here?"
The rat clan captain, who usually did all the dirty work and had dug up graves three times, had a furrowed brow that looked like it could trap a mosquito.
He dared not say much, for he was worried that the cub buried by the Holy Mother Ruan Xiyue was not a real cub.
If that's the case, Holy Consort Ruan Xiyue might just get a reprimand, but her guards would be lucky to escape with their lives!
Of course, if poisoning is found in the cub's bones, or something else, these guards won't suffer too much.
But the captain felt a constant unease, his heart pounding with anxiety.
Surely the Holy Mother Ruan Xiyue wouldn't cause such a catastrophic situation as the cubs to feign death? Probably not!
Orcs couldn't have caused such a disaster, no, no, it must be something else.
A group of beastmen silently made their way towards the Cheetah Lion tribe.
Meanwhile, Xia Weier and Long Ze met not far from the Holy City.
Long Ze raised an eyebrow: "Finally advanced?"
Xia Weier glanced at Long Ze expressionlessly, sensing the unstable aura of the human level emanating from him, and slightly curled the corners of his mouth: "You're not bad either."
Long Ze looked at Xia Weier with his ruby-like eyes: "Are you still having that dream about the warning?"
Xia Weier lowered her eyelids for a moment, then looked up again, her sapphire blue eyes looking intently at Long Ze: "Yes, seven days."
Long Ze chuckled softly, his voice barely audible, but Xia Weier, a beastman who had already reached the human-level ability level, could hear it clearly.
"Is the warning dream that the Beast God gave us meant to save us, or to save our wives?"
Xia Weier clenched his teeth, but then smiled faintly, his sharp eyes looking at Long Ze: "What? Afraid of death? Or afraid that Yue'er will have another beast husband?"
Long Ze glanced lazily at Xia Weier: "Yeah, I'm scared to death."
Hearing Long Ze's perfunctory reply, Xia Weier didn't press the issue further. Instead, she asked, "Will you eat the pill first, or should I?"
Upon hearing this question, Long Ze also became serious.
Long Ze took out a white, lustrous bead from his storage bag, just like the one Ruan Xiyue had eaten. However, this bead was not only shimmering with iridescent light, but it was also covered with a layer of divine power that only the Golden Cup Priest and the Golden Cup Witch Doctor could see.
When Longze and Xia Weier had their first precognitive dream, they were startled awake and felt that they were overthinking things, which was why they had a nightmare.
As a result, they had the same dream again the next day, but it was a little different from the dream of the previous day. This time, they didn't wait until the cubs were captured before taking action. Instead, they chose to take control of the outside orcs when they entered the city seeking refuge under the pretext of the beast tide season.
However, when spring arrived and Ruan Xiyue became pregnant with her second child, the Beast King himself came and took away the cubs of the Bright Moon Rabbit Clan.
When Ruan Xiyue was about to make her move on the Beast King's way back to the Holy City, she killed the Beast King but was then ambushed by the First Prince.
At this point, Longze and Xia Weier chose to communicate privately through earrings.
It wasn't until the third time they had a different dream, and when they woke up, there was this lustrous bead next to their head, that they finally became convinced that it was a precognitive dream.
Xia Weier has always found it difficult to immerse himself in his dreams because he sees his elder brother, who shares the same parents, collecting his body each time.
How could that be? His older brother has never been kind to him, not even once, not since childhood.
Longze, however, refused to believe the reality of the dream.
Because he could see it every time; he risked his life to protect his lover, yet she would break down every time.
Long Ze always knew that he was willing to protect her with his life.
However, he couldn't bear the thought of her repeatedly pressing on his bleeding after he had risked his life to protect her, causing her to go mad and break down.
This was no different from having his heart ripped out, so he refused to believe that what happened in the dream would actually happen.
Xia Weier looked at Long Ze: "I'll eat first."
Long Ze glanced coldly at Xia Weier and nodded: "That's right, you try it first. If there are no toxic side effects, then I'll take it. After all, she loves me more."
Xia Weier laughed in exasperation, sat down cross-legged on the spot, put the white, lustrous bead into his mouth, and felt it melt in his mouth, with warm currents washing over his entire body.
Seeing that Xia Weier had entered a state of sensory deprivation, Long Ze ordered his men and Xia Weier's guards to keep watch around the area, and then he sat cross-legged and swallowed the round bead.
Ruan Xiyue felt a sudden, inexplicable panic. She handed Ruan Qiling over to Qi, then picked up the other six cubs and placed them on the bed, transforming herself into the form of the Iron-Eating Beast.
Seeing that she was feeding the cubs absentmindedly, Qi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly, tilt his head, and smile faintly: "Are you worried about them?"
Ruan Xiyue was stunned for a moment.
Qi rarely showed any expression, and this vivid expression only amplified his exquisite and beautiful features.
Ruan Xiyue was only momentarily stunned before she nodded honestly: "Yes. There are so many orcs in the Holy City. Although I've never been there, I think the city defenses are definitely no worse than those of my beast city."
Enveloped in water, Ruan Qiling slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep in the air beside her.
He sat cross-legged on the edge of Ruan Xiyue's bed, his arms resting on the bed frame, gently stroking the fur on Ruan Xiyue's bear-like head with one hand.
"No, your Beast City defense map greatly inspired the Holy City, and they modified the Holy City's defenses."
Ruan Xiyue felt a lump in her throat. She opened her mouth, unsure whether she was angry at herself or something else, and said in a muffled voice, "Actually, you don't have to be so honest. Just tell me that their defenses are indeed quite good."
Qi scratched Ruan Xiyue's chin: "You should think positively. Long Ze and Xia Weier are very clear about the defenses you designed."
"And when you raided the Red Fox Tribe and later revised the Beast City's defenses, Xia Weier and Long Ze were both there. They knew the previous version of the defense map very well, where the weakest points were, where they could launch a surprise attack, and where they could escape."
Ruan Xiyue thought for a moment, then kept her mouth shut and fell into deep thought.
