Chapter 358 The Beast King's Doubts
Ruan Xiyue shook her head: "I'm an extremely calculating businesswoman, but you don't need to use such an analogy for me to understand. Because I also really want to live."
Qi held Ruan Xiyue, and Ruan Xiyue held the baby mermaid. When the baby nursed, it frowned, and its tail slapped Qi's face repeatedly.
Qi Yuan, whose face was pressed against Ruan Xiyue's neck, had to move away.
Ruan Xiyue was still very worried about Xia Weier, Long Ze, and Qi Heng.
She always felt that Qi spoke so lightly, and perhaps things were not as easy as they sounded.
Ruan Xiyue was right; the truth Qi saw was far more tragic than this.
The original trajectory should have been that Xia Weier and Long Ze returned, and Ruan Xiyue would have devoted herself entirely to her several beast husbands.
Qi felt a little uncomfortable. Because he had lived a long time, he naturally let time resolve his emotional issues.
He was at ease raising the little mermaid cub Ruan Qiling, because after a little over a month, she could drink energy milk, which was even better than Ruan Xiyue's breast milk.
So Qi asked Ruan Xiyue for some energy milk, tried to control the divine power, and left a cub with one ten-thousandth of the divine power in Ruan Xiyue's womb. Then he obediently raised the child at the bottom of the sea.
She avoided Ruan Xiyue's intimate interactions with other men.
Qi was not idle; he also had to monitor whether all the orcs who had made the oath to the Beast God and whose rules were trembling had violated their oaths.
Human hearts are alive, but the terms of an oath are dead.
Some of the oaths of the Beast Gods are not detailed enough, and the rules of the oaths of the Beast Gods will frequently tremble.
After Qi finished all this, he discovered that the Beast King had taken away Ruan Xiyue's cub, and Ruan Xiyue was extremely anxious.
The Beast King also instigated the surrounding tribes, the Beast City, the Spirit Fox Tribe, and the Treasure-Seeking Rat Tribe to cause trouble for Hope Beast City.
Ruan Xiyue's beast husbands must leave half of them behind to stay in the Beast City and oversee its operations.
Ruan Xiyue went to the Holy City with Xia Weier, Long Ze, and Jiu Chen.
Qin Ye was left behind, while Cong Xian, Qi Heng, and Li Miao remained in Beast City.
As a result, Xia Weier was seriously injured, and Long Ze and Jiu Chen died in front of Ruan Xiyue in order to protect her. Ruan Xiyue collapsed and miscarried...
Although the Beast King was killed, the First Prince decided to kill them all. The Second Prince protected Xia Weier and escaped, while Ruan Xiyue was on the verge of death.
Qi was furious, and a beast tide erupted from the seabed...
How much trouble can a person cause? Just look!
So, Qi stepped outside the time dimension and looked at the consequences of his intervention several more times. Although none of them were as tragic as this one, Long Ze and Jiu Chen would die, and then Ruan Xiyue would collapse...
The only way to achieve a decent outcome is to strike first when the Beast King has just begun to attack the cubs.
At this time, Xia Weier and Long Ze did not have the talent enhancement pill that Ruan Xiyue had given them to cleanse themselves, and their low level of supernatural ability was a weakness.
Keqi is a beast god; his ten thousand years as a beast god were not for nothing.
He could easily produce items to upgrade Xia Weier and Long Ze's abilities, but such intervention would cause him great harm.
If Qi lets half of this backlash fall on Xia Weier and Long Ze themselves, then they will be in a near-death state for a long time.
But he survived!
Qi Heng is the variable; if he brings Xia Weier and Long Ze back, Xia Weier and Long Ze can survive.
If he hands Xia Weier and Long Ze over to the First Prince, then Xia Weier and Long Ze will still die.
This is something even the Beast God couldn't foresee; the rules of the world always leave a way out. If Qi hadn't let Qi Heng go, Xia Weier and Long Ze would still have joined forces to kill the Beast King, only for the First Prince to reap the benefits.
Ruan Xiyue was unaware of these things, but she secretly speculated that the matter might be serious, and she felt somewhat uneasy.
Meanwhile, the Beast King had already used the testing stone to examine the aptitude of his grandchildren, the Moon Rabbit Clan cubs, and found them to be quite ordinary.
The eldest prince's cub and the second prince's cub are only a little over six months old, one at the purple rank and the other at the blue rank. They don't even have the aptitude for the cyan rank, and at most they can extend the Beast King's life by three to five months.
The cubs born to Lu An'an are a spirit fox beast and a bright moon rabbit beast, respectively. They are only of orange and yellow rank.
The Beast King fell into deep thought.
The more he thought about it, the more something seemed off.
Three cubs with ancestral bloodlines. Even if the aptitude of ancestral bloodline cubs is poor, surely after being sacrificed, the cubs born would not even reach the red-rank aptitude?
The Beast King went to his bedchamber, looked at the gray totem, pricked his finger, and dabbed his blood on the totem.
The Beast King sensed things carefully for a long time, his forehead covered in sweat.
There was no reaction to this bloodline power. Was it aborted, or was it isolated by some means?
The Beast King cut his finger even wider and touched it to his father's totem.
After careful comparison, he discovered the difference.
The feeling emanating from the Bloodline Stone from the Beast King's father, who was dead beyond any doubt, was a chilling coldness.
However, the totem of the cub with the bloodline of the Moon Rabbit showed no reaction whatsoever from the bloodline stone.
However, he then touched the totems of the other princes' prematurely deceased offspring with his bloodstained fingers. At first, there was no particular reaction, but then, a slight chill came from his fingertips.
The Beast King gritted his teeth, feeling that his authority had been challenged.
So he urgently summoned the guard captains who had returned from Hope Beast City.
The Beast King coldly questioned them: "Did you really see the corpses of my three grandson cubs?"
The five guard captains frowned slightly, and some even broke out in a cold sweat.
They've been back for almost three months, and the Beast King is asking about this again. What's going on?
A broad-shouldered and burly guard captain knelt on one knee and looked up at the Beast King: "Your Majesty, we did indeed see the corpses of the three royal grandsons."
The Beast King narrowed his eyes: "Do you dare to swear to the Beast God that everything you say is true, without any falsehood, deception, or concealment?"
The guard captains' danger radars immediately activated, and they hurriedly answered in unison, "We dare to swear an oath to the Beast God!"
The Beast King hesitated again, his jaw clenching.
The Beast King frowned and paced back and forth a couple of times. Could it be that the other cubs had died too long ago, which was why there was a chill in the air?
That's impossible! Before Xia Weier's three cubs died, the fourth brother's family only lost one cub!
He compared them back and forth, and there were differences!
The Beast King stared coldly at the guard captains and said, "Then go to the Cheetah Lion Tribe now and bring back the remains of the three cubs!"
The guard captains all gasped, but they dared not utter a word.
Because the Beast King has already unleashed the pressure of his Earth-rank superhuman abilities. The highest rank among the guard captains is only Brown rank.
They weren't even at the Silver or Gold rank, let alone how terrifying the pressure of a bloodline breakthrough to the Human, Profound, Earth, or Heaven rank would be to them!
The guard captains had no choice but to obey and do it.
