Chapter 170 From Envy of Mother
Just after Xian's cubs were born, Ruan Xiyue heard Duo Duo's voice in her mind again:
[Congratulations, host, on successfully giving birth to a cub, a male winged spirit cat with blue-tier supernatural abilities. Reward: 400 points; additional 100,000 points for ancestral bloodline. Lifespan increased by two years.]
[Congratulations, host, on successfully giving birth to a cub: a male beast-type spirit cat with a green-tier special ability. Reward: 1200 points. Five square meters of Breath Soil.]
[Congratulations, host, on successfully giving birth to a cub: a male, beast-type iron-eating beast with a green-tier special ability. Reward: 1200 points. Two energy plants.]
[Congratulations, host, on successfully giving birth to a cub, a female Flame Spirit Cat of beast form, with a purple-tier special ability. Reward: 400 points; additional 100,000 points for ancestral bloodline; and a pair of empowered wings.]
Upon hearing about the last reward, Ruan Xiyue quickly asked Duoduo, "What's this? What does 'empowered wings' mean?"
[Once the host equips it, they can use beast cores for empowerment; one red-tier beast core allows for 24-hour flight.]
Wow! This is amazing! I can do so many things with wings now! I really want to try it out right now!
[Host, you should take the postpartum recovery and beauty pills first. Then take the milk-boosting pills.]
Following Duo Duo's advice, Ruan Xiyue quickly swallowed the pill: [After you level up, you won't need to take any more pills; it's practically a beastly perk!]
Ruan Xiyue transformed into the form of an iron-eating beast, urging the cubs to nurse first, before falling asleep.
Qin Ye looked at the witch doctor and said to her, "I know you recognized that the first and fourth cubs had fleshy wings on their backs, and that they have atavistic blood."
“However, I do not want you to tell any orcs other than the Lion Chieftain about this.”
The witch doctor was puzzled by Qin Ye's words.
"Do you think the Lion Clan and Cheetah Clan can protect the Holy Mother Xi Yue? If word gets out that she can give birth to offspring with ancestral bloodlines, will the Lion Clan and Cheetah Clan benefit from it?"
Upon hearing this, the witch doctor turned pale. The joy he had just felt suddenly turned into a terrifying shock.
"I...I understand!" The witch doctor took a few more reluctant glances at the adorable cubs before leaving the nursery with a frown.
When Cong Xian's mother saw the witch doctor's deathly expression, she was so frightened that her heart felt a little uncomfortable.
Cong Xian's mother held the witch doctor's hand, her voice trembling slightly: "How is the Holy Mother? Is she... alright? The cub... what's wrong with the cub?"
The witch doctor smiled wryly. "It's fine, it's just... it's fine. Why don't you go in and take a look? You'll see in a bit."
When the mother beast entered and saw the chubby, pink cubs with only a thin layer of downy fur, she was absolutely delighted. She was especially fond of the three male cubs who were of the Xian bloodline.
However, the Beast Mother's mind worked quickly, and she heard Qin Ye repeat what he had said to the witch doctor to her again.
From the beast mother's envy, I understand even more what the witch doctor is afraid of!
Cong Xian's beast mother patted Qin Ye on the shoulder, comforting him: "Don't worry! Cong Xian and the others are out busy, so you and Long Ze will have to trouble yourselves to take good care of Xi Yue, the Holy Female, during this time! Leave the rest to me!"
After leaving Ruan Xiyue's house, the Beast Mother followed the Witch Doctor straight to the Lion Clan Chief's residence.
After hearing what the shaman said, the lion chieftain and all the orcs were stunned.
The lion chieftain didn't even know when the witch doctor left.
"Have you digested this news yet?" Cong Xian, with the air of a noblewoman, sat upright next to the lion clan leader and asked him.
"This incredible wealth! It's my Lion Clan's turn! Hahahaha! What a wonderful thing! Wow..."
The Beast Mother slapped the Lion Clan leader directly on the back of the head.
"Aunt! Why did you hit me?!"
The mother of the beast rolled her eyes.
"Of the thirty-eight cubs of the Holy Mother Xiyue, nine are Qin Ye's beast husband's cubs. Don't you think there are any with atavistic bloodlines among them? That little black leopard cub, didn't you notice that the bump on its forehead is getting more and more obvious?"
The lion chieftain's large eyes widened like saucers. He forced himself to calm down before speaking: "Aunt, do you mean that the cheetah tribe also has cubs that have reverted to their ancestral form?"
"So, have you ever seen the Cheetah Clan boast about this? Luo Qizhao never talks about it. Do you think he's stupid? That he can't recognize the Cheetah Clan's atavistic bloodline?"
The lion chieftain shook his head: "Impossible. Luo Qizhao is the most cunning chieftain in all the tribes around here."
"So you should learn from him. Orcs naturally become shrewd as they get older because they've suffered more losses themselves and have seen others suffer more losses."
The lion chieftain nodded: "I understand, Aunt."
"Also, hasn't Holy Mother Ruan Xiyue always wanted to improve the quality of life in the female cave? Why don't you come with me to ask her about her plans when you have some free time?"
"Also, you need to start now and find a way to get the males in the tribe more active! Don't just eat and drink your fill and that's it. Otherwise, we'll be left behind by the Holy Mother."
The lion chieftain asked in bewilderment, "Why? Where is the Holy Consort Xiyue going to abandon us?"
Cong Xian, the Beast Mother, took a deep breath and couldn't help rolling her eyes: "You can't offer them any help. Look at the patrol teams of Bright Moon Beast City. The lowest level they have are Yellow-rank abilities. How many Yellow-rank males can we even muster to form a team of twenty beastmen?"
"When your relationship with the Holy Mother is not close and you can provide her with less help, why should you expect her to think of you first whenever there is something good?"
"Do you think you're so great? Or do you believe that just because you're my son's older brother, you're enough to make the Holy Mother think of you first in any matter of great benefit?"
The lion chieftain then calmed down and nodded, "Aunt is right!"
Cong Xian, the Beast Mother, sighed, "My A-Xian is definitely willing but unable to help you. Judging from the number of cubs, it's not hard to see which beast husband Xi Yue Saintess favors more."
"My brother A-Xian can only help you, his elder brother, by showing some kinship."
However, how do you solidify your relationship with the Holy Mother Xiyue, and how do you secure more reliance and benefits for the entire Lion Clan from her?
"This is something you, as a lion clan leader, should plan and manage!"
"Don't think that just because A-Xian and the Holy Mother are in a relationship, you can rest easy. If anything good happens, the Holy Mother Xi Yue should think of you."
"When she has no orcs to rely on, she can depend on our Lion Clan tribe. But what happens when more and more large tribes pledge allegiance to the Holy Mother of the Dawn? How will you maintain the relationship between the Lion Clan tribe and the Holy Mother of the Dawn?"
"Think about it carefully. In a few days, when Xi Yue Sheng Ci's body has recovered, your aunt will take you to see her."
The Lion Clan Chief nodded: "I was thinking that since the relationship between the Holy Mother Xiyue and the Cheetah Tribe had cooled down, I started to consider myself as the Holy Mother Xiyue's maternal clan. It seems I got carried away!"
