Chapter 408 The Snow Rabbit Tribe's Tactics
Xia Weier was finally relieved. His ears turned red, and he tilted his head slightly, gently kissing Ruan Xiyue's palm.
Long Ze's face darkened, and he was about to lash out when Ruan Xiyue's stomach rumbled loudly.
Long Ze sighed and got up to cook for Ruan Xiyue, which finally made Ruan Xiyue's feeling of unease recede like the tide.
Just a few days into their comfortable days, Cong Xian told Ruan Xiyue some bad news.
"The Snow Rabbit tribe is moving quickly; they're trying to get the fox clan's beastmen to betray us." Cong Xian brought a male fox clan member to Ruan Xiyue.
Ruan Xiyue quickly invited Min Qianhua to sit down.
Min Qianhua looked apologetic as she watched the male fox clench his teeth and his jaw bulge.
Ruan Xiyue, resting her chin on her hand, poured Min Qianhua a glass of water: "Calm down, look how angry you are."
Min Qianhua was filled with remorse: "I failed to keep a close eye on the fox clan's beastmen. I'm sorry."
Ruan Xiyue waved her hand, looked at the ashen-faced male fox, and took Cong Xian's hand: "Did you find out in time?"
"Perfect timing! This guy is the one who carries the glass racks, but he's been secretly watching what the glass formula maker puts in the ingredients."
"So, the orcs in the glass workshop noticed that something was wrong with him."
"Luckily, an orc told me in time, preventing him from stealing the ingredient ratios."
Cong Xian looked coldly at the ashen-faced male fox, and was very angry.
Min Qianhua couldn't hold back any longer and angrily rebuked, "You've been rather thin since you were young, but our tribe has always helped your family. Knowing that you're not good at hunting, we arranged some easier work for you in the glass workshop. How have we foxes ever treated you badly? How dare you try to harm our fox tribe like this!"
The male fox pursed his lips, then lowered his eyes and remained silent.
Min Qianhua was even more furious: "Speak up! Why did you do this to harm our entire fox clan?"
The male fox was deathly pale. He opened his mouth and said, "I didn't. I didn't mean to harm the fox clan. I just wanted to steal the formula."
Min Qianhua was so angry she laughed.
"You don't?" Min Qianhua gently stroked her slightly protruding belly, her face a little pale, and pointed at the male fox clan, directly stating: "Don't tell me you don't know that after we integrated into the Cheetah Lion Tribe, it's not easy to build trust and get along with the Cheetah and Lion Tribes!"
"I don't believe you're unaware that as a member of the fox clan, selling the glass formula to the Snow Rabbit tribe would make the other fox clans look down upon by the Cheetah and Lion clans!"
After Min Qianhua finished speaking, her brows furrowed, and she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.
Seeing that Min Qianhua's face looked very bad, Ruan Xiyue secretly put a pregnancy-stabilizing pill in Min Qianhua's water when she reached out to hand her a glass of water.
Ruan Xiyue handed the water to Min Qianhua: "Drink it quickly. Why does your pregnancy look so bad? This water I gave you is good stuff. Drink it all and see if you still feel uncomfortable."
Min Qianhua was slightly surprised, and her eyes also reddened a little.
Without saying a word, she drank the water that Ruan Xiyue had poured for her in one gulp.
"I'm so ashamed to face you! You've been so good to our fox clan. And yet, we have such a traitor in our own clan!"
Ruan Xiyue waved her hand before looking at the fox-clan beastman who was frightened, wanted to explain, and was filled with fear and regret.
The fox-clan beastman hurriedly knelt on one knee, his right hand covering his left chest, and frantically explained, "I really didn't think that much. I just... I just wanted to improve my ability level so that my partner would respect me more. Young clan leader, Holy Mother Xiyue, I was wrong. I really didn't think that much."
Ruan Xiyue chuckled: "You've been keeping an eye on me for so long, and you're telling me you haven't thought that far ahead? Do I look that easy to fool?"
Just as the fox-orc was about to argue, Min Qianhua said directly, "Forget it. He doesn't think he did anything wrong. He thinks the fault lies with Xian Shoufu for capturing him. Mark him with the mark of a wandering orc. Our fox clan cannot keep an orc who disregards the interests of the entire Cheetah Lion tribe."
The fox-clan beastman panicked and hurriedly apologized, crying, "Young clan leader, I was wrong! Young clan leader, I was really wrong! Please don't banish me! I'll never do it again! I'll never do it again!"
Ruan Xiyue lowered her eyes and remained silent. Min Qianhua, supporting her belly, stood up and said, "I took him to the witch doctor. Holy Mother Xiyue, you've really gone to so much trouble. I will keep the fox clan in check from now on."
Ruan Xiyue sighed, "Let's mark him with a slave mark. An exile mark would be too harsh. He's so thin and handsome; he might die if he goes out. Let him do the hard work of moving stones as a slave!"
The fox-clan beastman, overjoyed and excited, hurriedly said with tears streaming down his face, "Thank you, Holy Mother Xiyue! Thank you, Holy Mother Xiyue!"
Min Qianhua opened her mouth, nodded, and held Ruan Xiyue's hand: "Then I am very grateful to Holy Consort Xiyue for taking care of him."
Ruan Xiyue shook her head and squeezed Min Qianhua's hand back: "When the Cheetah Lion tribe merged in the past, there were various frictions. Don't worry, no one will look down on your entire tribe because of this."
Ruan Xiyue and Min Qianhua exchanged pleasantries for a while before Ruan Xiyue saw Min Qianhua to the door.
Cong Xian frowned slightly and gently held Ruan Xiyue's hand: "Why not let that orc be exiled? I was thinking of using this as a warning to others."
Ruan Xiyue shook her head: "A compromise will not make me seem weak and easy to talk to, nor will it make the fox clan feel that I am not tolerant enough towards them."
Cong Xian sighed, about to say something, when he noticed that the ground beneath Ruan Xiyue's feet was wet.
Ruan Xiyue's eyes widened: "I think I've gone into premature labor."
Startled, Cong Xian quickly helped Ruan Xiyue to the nursery on the first floor.
Ruan Xiyue frowned, asking Duoduo in her mind: "How could she have been born prematurely?"
Duoduo sighed: [Because the Moon Rabbit's gestation period is different from other cubs, have you forgotten about the most expensive host?]
Ruan Xiyue remembered, and after being helped to bed by Cong Xian, she couldn't help but ask Duo Duo: "But when I gave birth to Xia Weier's cub last time, I didn't notice that the time I spent pregnant with the Bright Moon Rabbit cub was different from the time I spent with the other cubs."
Duoduo quickly told Ruan Xiyue, "That's because the nutrition wasn't enough, so the pregnancy was only a little over ten days longer."
Ruan Xiyue sighed and swallowed a painless childbirth pill.
Cong Xian has already informed the other beastmen through the upgraded earring function.
They were on their way back when Qi suddenly appeared beside Ruan Xiyue.
Qi was observing the energy emanating from Ruan Xiyue, and he could clearly sense that Ruan Xiyue truly felt no pain.
Qi thought that he had to resolve the discomfort and pain Ruan Xiyue experienced during the birth of his cub before he could do what he liked with Ruan Xiyue.
Ruan Xiyue had no time to think about anything else at this point, because the first cub had already been born. She couldn't help but say to Qi, "What are you standing there for? Go and boil some water for me!"
