She gave birth to a litter of furry babies, thus extending her life.

Chapter 310 Teaching the Child (Bonus Chapter for Mo Shu)

Ruan Xiyue frowned, calmed herself down, and then tried to keep her tone calm as she asked Ruan Rou curiously, "Why?"

Ruan Rou proudly puffed out the chest of the little iron-eating beast and said, "Because we iron-eating beasts no longer have our own tribe. Unlike my other brothers and sisters, I don't have a tribe waiting for them to inherit."

Ruan Xiyue suppressed her shock; she did indeed have such bandit plans. However, she swore she hadn't revealed a single word to the cubs.

How could the cubs think that way so naturally?

My God! Ruan Xiyue was in shock. She could accept that the cubs were precocious, but were they too mature?

Ruan Xiyue couldn't help but ask Duoduo in her mind: "My cubs, they're all my cubs, right? There aren't any that have transmigrated into my cubs' bodies, or mature souls slowly awakening or any of those strange settings, right?"

Duoduo fell silent.

Ruan Xiyue's eyes widened.

【DuoDuo! What are you doing! Really? There really is one like that in my cubs?】

Duo Duo remained silent.

Ruan Xiyue clenched her fingers, and when she looked at the cubs again, her eyes held a scrutinizing gaze.

But no matter what, they are still her babies! They are the ones she carried with great difficulty and gave birth to with great difficulty!

Ruan Xiyue tried her best not to show any change in her expression and continued to listen to Ruan Rou's eloquent speech.

“I once asked Longze’s father, Xiawei’s father, and Congxian’s father.”

Ruan Xiyue raised her eyebrows slightly, thinking how amazing her little girl was! When she was little, around the same age as Ruan Rou, she was probably still picking her toes, right?

"What did you ask them?" Ruan Xiyue asked, playing the straight man for Ruan Rou at the right moment.

Ruan Rou tilted her head slightly, and Ruan Xiyue didn't know why, but she could see a proud expression on Ruan Rou's round, chubby face.

Ruan Routong said in a childish voice, "I asked my fathers what preparations I need to make if I want to revive the Iron-Eating Beast Tribe."

“My three fathers told me a lot.”

Ruan Xiyue pursed her lips, raised her eyebrows, and cursed the three beasts in her heart, but she had to ask with a smile, "Oh! What did they say?"

Ruan Rou said, "Father Longze said I need enough subordinates with powerful supernatural abilities! Father Xiaweier said I need enough beast cores and lots of treasures! Father Congxian said I need to have a clever mind like Mother!"

Ruan Xiyue also put aside her disdain. Looking at Ruan Rou's serious expression, she felt a deeper sense of connection to the dog-eat-dog world of the Beast World, where only the fittest survive.

Her cub, at such a young age, is already developing in the direction of Gan Luo, the young prime minister who became the prime minister assisting the young Ying Zheng at the age of twelve!

Ruan Xiyue felt gratified: My son, you are of extraordinary talent!

Just as Ruan Xiyue was feeling proud of her cubs, her third cub, the Iron-Eating Beast Ruan Xiacan, spoke up: "I think what my elder sister said is not quite right."

Ruan Xiyue raised her eyebrows and looked at Ruan Xiacan curiously, her voice gentle and slightly trembling: "Cancan, do you have a different opinion?"

Ruan Xiacan, who was on Qin Ming's side, sat up straight and said something that made Ruan Xiyue's mouth fall down: "Sister will definitely have to marry into multiple tribes in the future, so sister can just stay at home and have children."

"Let my brother and I handle the task of reviving the Iron-Eating Beast Tribe!"

Just as Ruan Xiacan was about to continue her eloquent speech, she noticed that Ruan Xiyue's face had darkened and become visibly cold and stern.

All the cubs stopped whispering and playing around, biting each other's ears and scratching each other's necks.

In her mind, Ruan Xiyue asked Duoduo: "Try playing dead again, will you?"

Duoduo quickly said, "[Duoduo wasn't pretending to be dead, host.]"

[Dodo just scanned all the cubs born to the host!]

[Of the host's offspring, only those with ancestral bloodlines possess strong souls, likely reincarnated offspring. However, they haven't awakened any memories, only some innate wisdom.]

The other cubs, aided by the elixirs, are simply five to ten times more intelligent and precocious than other cubs.

Ruan Xiyue narrowed her eyes and asked, "Why would Ruan Xiacan say such strange things? I've never taught the cubs to look down on females! Where did he learn such provocative remarks?"

With a silly cat-like expression, Duoduo said to Ruan Xiyue, "Qi Heng and Li Miao occasionally take them out to play, and they come into contact with other cubs, which is how they learned it. Cubs learn bad things very quickly."

Ruan Xiyue looked coldly at Ruan Xiacan and asked him seriously, "Xiacan, do you think your sister Ruan Rou is worse than you?"

Ruan Xiacan had already sensed that his mother was angry, and he went from talking eloquently to shrinking back.

He said cautiously in his soft, childlike voice, "I...I think Sister Ruan Rou has something she's good at."

Ruan Xiyue nodded and asked, "What do you think your sister Ruan Rou is good at?"

Seeing that Ruan Xiyue's face was no longer so dark, Ruan Xiacan's voice regained some of its cheerfulness: "Sister Ruan Rou is female! She's good at giving birth to cubs!"

Ruan Xiyue laughed, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. She asked, "What if your sister Ruan Rou, like some females who have drunk the healing water concocted by Mother, isn't good at giving birth? How can you be sure that your sister Ruan Rou is good at giving birth?"

Ruan Xiyue was already furious. She was cursing wildly in her mind, and even yelled at Duoduo in a high-pitched voice: "[Investigate! Who is it! Which unlucky kid taught my cub to look down on females!]"

[I absolutely cannot tolerate my offspring looking down on my gender! Investigate! Duoduo! You've been so negligent! How could this happen! What are you even doing?!]

Ugh! I'm so angry!

Ruan Xiacan opened his mouth, tilted his large, iron-eating beast head, and said, "Then Mother should give Sister Ruan Rou healing water! Then Sister Ruan Rou can take on her responsibility of giving birth to cubs!"

Ruan Xiyue was furious.

But her smile widened, and she looked at Ruan Xiacan, saying, "Mother knows you. All of you cubs are very smart. You don't want your mother to treat you like children, to look down on your intelligence and fool you."

"So, today your mother will talk to you about principles. This is the first time your mother has seriously talked to you about principles. And I hope that you will engrave these principles into your very bones for the rest of your lives. Never forget them!"

Ruan Xiyue looked around at the cubs, then at Ruan Xiacan, and asked him:

"If your sister Ruan Rou is unwilling to have cubs, she only wants to be the leader of the expedition against the beast tide, and she only wants to be the leader of the merchants who travel between various tribes."

Alternatively, she might be willing to become the chieftain of the Iron-Eating Beast tribe and be a ruler.

Do you think she should think and act this way, or do you think she shouldn't think and act this way?
