Chapter 384 What is a Win-Win Situation? (Bonus Chapter for Ancient Tickets)
With the Witch Doctor's Hospital and the Priest's House setting a precedent, other tribes were eager to follow suit and rushed to propose cooperation to Ruan Xiyue.
Ruan Xiyue nodded slightly: "We can discuss these details of the cooperation."
"What I want to say now is that my husband, Xia Weier, has only recently recovered, and I do not want him to travel to the Holy City."
"How exactly do you intend to decide on this Beast King? We need to come up with a plan as soon as possible."
The elders of the Witch Doctor's Hospital and the Priest's Court exchanged glances. The reason they wanted to choose Xia Weier was that they wanted to gain more benefits from Ruan Xiyue and the Beast God.
However, Ruan Xiyue has already promised them so many benefits, and if they push their luck any further... to be honest, they are also beastmen, and they still know a little bit of shame.
The elders of the Witch Doctor's Hospital and the Priest's Court immediately made the decision: "Actually, we had already finalized the selection of the Third Prince. However, at that time, the Third Prince suddenly felt unwell."
"In order to receive the protection of the Beast God, Xiaweier returned to Hope Beast City. And then, Xiaweier indeed recovered."
"Since Xiaweier has just recovered, the position of Beast King should naturally be inherited by Xiaweier."
Ruan Xiyue felt that this had a bit of a "divine right of kings" feel to it, but she didn't care about that. As long as the benefits ended up in her own pocket, the process didn't matter.
Ruan Xiyue left the details of the contracts and animal hides for the remaining tribes that were interested in cooperating with Luo Yurou and Chu Jiayun.
She dusted herself off and, using the excuse that her cubs were still too young, swaggered to the next room to take them home.
The three-year-old toddlers' comments were wildly imaginative, but only three or five of them hit the nail on the head.
However, the cubs that Ruan Xiyue had given the Cub Intelligence Pill were different.
When Qin Ming arrived at Longyuan, all ten of his cubs had taken the Cub Intelligence Pill three times, and their intelligence was already comparable to that of an average eight- or nine-year-old cub.
Of course, they are still a bit inferior to Gan Luo, who became the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty at the age of twelve, after all, they were only three years old.
Ruan Xiyue had Xuanjia and the others send off the little companions.
She then looked at her little ones, sitting on the living room carpet, and asked, "My little darlings, what do you think of today's meeting?"
Qin Ying transformed into a small cub dressed in a black robe, her fair face showing a hint of confusion.
His features resembled Qin Ye's, but besides being handsome, he also had an added touch of naivety. He scratched his face and asked, "Mother, you started the conversation with the animal skin scrolls of the Snow Rabbit Tribe, but in the end you didn't ask everyone how the Snow Rabbit Tribe should be dealt with."
Ruan Gang, however, was dressed in a white shirt, and his chubby face had round, baby-like fat.
He shook his head: "By laying this matter out in the open, Mother has already publicly sentenced the Snow Rabbit tribe. If we continue to insist that all tribes deal with them, all the tribes will be afraid."
Ruan Xiyue's eyes lit up: "Why are you afraid?"
Ruan Gang was a little nervous. He took half a step behind his sister Ruan Ling, thought for a moment, then straightened up and said, "Because the Snow Rabbit tribe has not actually committed any crime!"
"It's like when I had a disagreement with Dong Yun of the Spirit Fox Tribe not long ago, and I said bad things about him. My brother asked me to apologize to him."
"If everyone had scolded me for this back then, I would definitely have been unhappy. Then I would have hated Dong Yun."
"Given Mother's status, it would be an easy thing for her to make Dong Yun suffer."
"And Mother said that these orc friends will be our help in the future. Even if they are not our help, we cannot let them grow into knives that stab us in the back."
"If I want to prevent this from happening, I have to kill Dong Yun before he grows up."
All the little cubs involuntarily took a half step back.
Ruan Gang spread his hands: "You see, if I did that to one of them, all the orcs would be afraid of me."
Ruan Gang paused, his chubby little face serious: "So, when Mother brings this up in the open, it means that I've made this misunderstanding public. If you're in trouble, people will think I did it. And if I'm in trouble, you won't be able to get rid of suspicion either."
"But often this approach limits the other party's means of retaliation, and also limits our thoughts of retaliation. On the surface, the matter seems to have passed just like that."
"So even if Mother uses this as a starting point, it is just a stepping stone to get the ball rolling."
Ruan Xiyue nodded: "There's nothing wrong with your understanding."
"Who else knows what kind of jade Mother attracted by throwing out a brick to attract jade?"
Ruan Ling and Ruan Rou both took a step forward confidently, but when Ruan Rou saw Ruan Ling, she took a step back.
Ruan Ling wanted to take a step back, but it was too late. She turned to look at Ruan Xiyue.
Ruan Xiyue simply smiled and watched Ruan Ling, wanting to see how she would handle the situation.
Seeing that Ruan Xiyue didn't speak or make any gesture, Ruan Ling looked at Ruan Rou somewhat nervously: "Sister, let me speak first. If there's anything I've missed, please give me some pointers!"
Ruan Rou nodded happily, and Ruan Xiyue's smile widened. She felt that her child must have been raised well to grow up to be such a wonderful person. It was truly amazing!
Duo Duo grinned in Ruan Xiyue's mind, but dared not speak out in anger.
Ruan Ling said confidently, "Yu is the witch hospital and the priest's house, and even all the tribes."
"Because the witch doctors' hospital and the priests' house only heard about the treatment Mother would give them, and hearing about it is different from seeing it with your own eyes!"
“I remember telling Min Liuliu, the fox clan’s study companion, that the building blocks we played with could build a castle. She had never seen one, so she didn’t know what it was, and she wasn’t curious or impressed.”
"She got so excited when I took her to see the Lego castle at our amusement park! When she heard that I was willing to have my mother give her a mini version, she hugged me and said that I was her best friend in the world!"
"So, Mother brought up the Snow Rabbit Tribe to elicit the attitudes of the Witch Doctor's Hospital and the Priest's Court."
"Then, Mother seemed to be rewarding their statement, but in reality, the conditions they reached were originally what Mother had planned!"
"But this is what Mother meant by a win-win situation. We finalized the contract with them and they were incredibly grateful to us. We won twice, so it's called a win-win!"
Xia Weier looked at Qin Ye, who had a blank expression, and then looked at Cong Xian.
From Xian's eyes: I usually don't interfere much with the children's affairs anymore, although I'm the one who interferes the most among us, but... I don't know! How did the children grow up like this!
Qin Ye frowned, then looked at Xia Weier: "What the little brat said about a win-win situation is fine! You have a problem? I'll tell my wife!"
