Chapter 251 So scared I hiccuped
Upon seeing the items scattered on the ground, Qi Heng knew without a second thought that they were sent by the Treasure-Hunting Rat Tribe!
Qi Heng felt that his position as the beast's husband might have to be moved back even further!
Unlike Qi Heng, Dong Songlin's first thought was of the Treasure-Seeking Rat Tribe's attitude towards the Holy Female Ruan Xiyue, which was clearly a top-notch friendly attitude!
This pile of gifts far exceeds the standard for engagement gifts!
What Dong Songlin was thinking about was why the Treasure-Hunting Rat Tribe would offer such a generous gift.
Are all the treasure-hunting rats idiots? Don't be ridiculous!
Because of their small, beastly form, the treasure-hunting rat is extremely cunning and has no integrity whatsoever.
To put it bluntly, they're just opportunists. Whoever benefits them, they'll immediately swarm around them like rats!
It is precisely because of this that the Treasure-Hunting Rat Tribe has been able to continue to grow stronger.
So, this time, what kind of benefits did the Holy Mother Ruan Xiyue, backed by a medium-sized tribe, give to the Treasure-Seeking Rat Tribe that made them go to such lengths?
The strong energy odor from those boxes on the ground clearly indicates they are beast cores!
What benefits would make large tribes show goodwill towards small and medium-sized tribes? And what about verifying the deals with several large chest beasts all at once?
Dong Songlin glanced at the gifts scattered on the ground; apart from the beast cores, the other items were not of much value.
However, those were all sent to the most beloved concubine, Ruan Xiyue!
Dong Songlin always believed that speaking well of ordinary opponents would achieve his goals, while sending gifts to opponents he needed to take seriously would achieve his goals.
Only by speaking kind words and giving good gifts to top-tier opponents, and giving them gifts that resonate with their hearts, can you achieve your goal!
Dong Songlin narrowed his eyes. Even if Ruan Xiyue, the Holy Female, were to reside in Beast City, it wouldn't be enough for large tribes to regard her as a top rival, would it?
unless……
Dong Songlin's pupils dilated in shock as he looked at the cubs scattered all over the ground!
What's that thing sticking out of Longze's collar?
Pure white in color, resembling a viper with black markings on its scales and protruding horns, the Candle Dragon cub was only sneaking out to take a look when she saw Dong Songlin staring at her with wide eyes.
Ruan Sisi's eyes widened instantly, her vertical pupils shrinking even more in fright.
But she mustered her courage and, without flinching, said to Longze, "Father! That uncle is glaring at me!"
The orc following behind Dong Songlin was about to speak when his train of thought was interrupted by this childish remark.
Long Ze gently pressed Ruan Sisi's head with his fingertips, and Ruan Sisi pulled her neck back.
Long Ze stared coldly at Dong Songlin, who immediately panicked and waved his hands, leaving afterimages: "I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
Long Ze's gaze toward Dong Songlin grew even colder, and he even narrowed his long, narrow eyes with blood-red pupils.
Dong Songlin panicked even more and quickly changed his tune: "The little cub wasn't talking nonsense, I was wrong! I was just too surprised! That's why my eyes were wide open!"
At this moment, the Yinglong cub, which had been lying on Longze's head and looked like a decoration, with a black back but white wings, a white belly, and white horns on its head, also moved. The horns on its head were still very small, like two milky white coral tips.
She looked up at Dong Songlin. Her eyes were the same as Long Ze's; they were clearly father and daughter.
The two, one big and one small, stared at Dong Songlin.
Dong Songlin was both surprised and delighted, then suddenly became frightened and started hiccuping uncontrollably.
The orc standing next to Dong Songlin didn't look this way. He simply raised his chin with a kingly disdain, coldly staring at Ruan Xiyue in front of him, and said, "Xia Weier ran into our tribe..."
Dong Songlin slapped the orc across the mouth, then turned to Ruan Xiyue with an apologetic and obsequious smile: "I'm so sorry! Holy Maiden Xiyue, I'm so sorry! We weren't prepared enough! We were so ignorant!"
We'll be better prepared next time! We apologize for bothering you again!
The orc being pulled along by Dong Songlin was indignant and was about to resist when Dong Songlin released his own supernatural power, suppressing the orc and forcibly dragging him out.
Qi Heng frowned, glanced at Dong Songlin who had just left, then looked at Ruan Xiyue. Instantly, he transformed into a fox, made a low, guttural humming sound, and said to Ruan Xiyue, "Excuse me, I'll go see what they're up to."
Qi Heng ran to the door and said to Ruan Xiyue, "I didn't tell them before that you could give birth to cubs with ancestral bloodlines. They saw it today, so I guess... I'll go keep an eye on things first and come back to you later!"
Before Ruan Xiyue could even nod, Qi Heng had already vanished!
But Jiu Chen placed his long, slender hand on the back of Ruan Xiyue's neck, gently squeezing her nape. He pressed his lips to the back of her ear and whispered, "Have him come to see you tonight? Hmm? What does he want to do? Was I not good enough?"
Ruan Xiyue felt a tingling sensation in her tailbone and her entire waist went limp; she dared not move.
"No...no!"
Ruan Xiyue quickly retorted, "When he said 'later,' maybe it's as late as tomorrow!"
A cold smile appeared on Jiu Chen's downturned lips as he looked at Li Miao, whose jaw was clenched.
Li Miao frowned slightly, pursed her lips, and stole a glance at Jiu Chen, her eyes full of envy.
Lu Qixin also peeked at Li Miao's expression. He glanced at her strangely again, and under Long Ze's cold gaze, he quickly bowed to Ruan Xiyue: "Holy Mother Xiyue, we'll be leaving now! We won't disturb you feeding the cubs and resting any longer!"
Ruan Xiyue couldn't help but narrow her eyes and let out a soft hum: "Mmm!"
She really disliked Lu Qixin's reminder to feed the cubs, as it made her seem like such an incompetent mother!
Lu Qixin hurriedly turned around and left, but as he closed the door, Li Miao followed him. He was surprised for a moment, then waited for Li Miao to leave before leaving with him.
Lu Qixin and Li Miao walked quite a distance before Lu Qixin asked in a low voice, "Didn't you used to love following around the Holy Mother Xi Yue the most?"
Li Miao frowned: "Xi Yue really dislikes people who lack a sense of boundaries... orcs!"
Lu Qixin looked at Li Miao with relief: "You've finally grown up! It's alright! Don't worry! In a while, the tribe will send some very capable males! If you're willing to learn, they'll teach you how to make the Holy Female Xiyue fall in love with you!"
Li Miao's eyes lit up, and he asked sincerely, "Really?"
Lu Qixin nodded: "Really!"
Judging from Li Miao's attitude, once Lu Qixin finds out that the male beastman sent by the Treasure-Seeking Rat Tribe is to teach him bedroom arts, he probably won't be so resistant, right?
Ruan Xiyue frowned slightly. She had specifically taken almost all the cubs with ancestral bloodlines into the childcare amusement park.
Only the eight cubs remained in the cub room, along with Long Niannian and Ruan Sisi.
Lu Qixin didn't even notice Long Niannian and Ruan Sisi, but Dong Songlin was very observant! He must have noticed them.
However, Long Ze kept Long Niannian and Ruan Sisi around for two reasons: first, he was a doting father who would grant his daughter's every wish when she acted cute; second, he probably also wanted to make visitors think twice before leaving them behind!
