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

Chapter 147 Overbearing (Bonus Chapter 11 for the adorable Gu Pu Tickets)

Jiu Chen wasn't idle either; he and four guards bandaged up several wandering orcs.

The dappled shadows of the trees blocked the sunlight, with only a few beams of light filtering through the layers of leaves and illuminating Ruan Xiyue's focused and gentle face.

She knelt around seven wandering orcs, who had been displaced and wounded by the cruel twists of fate, their eyes gleaming with a complex light that mingled with a yearning for survival and despair.

At this moment, their fates seem to have quietly taken a turn because of Ruan Xiyue's appearance.

The seven wandering orcs were all in a sorry state. Their animal skin clothing was tattered and blood seeped from the tears, staining the original hides a terrifying dark red.

Due to internal injuries, their breathing was heavy and rapid, each gasp feeling like a struggle to pull on the thread of life.

Some orcs clutched their abdomens, where the wounds were so deep that the bone was visible; others hung limply with their arms hanging down, the flesh at the severed limbs torn open, blood still seeping out and pooling on the ground in horrifying pools.

Ruan Xiyue took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and concentrated her mind. The light of her supernatural power instantly gathered at her fingertips, transforming into a gentle yet powerful energy flow that slowly seeped into the wound.

With the combined effects of the healing pills and Ruan Xiyue's healing abilities, the wounds of Long Ze's subordinates began to heal at a visible speed.

Flesh and blood re-weave, and the scars gradually fade. A warm current spread from the orc's abdomen, rapidly repairing his damaged internal organs.

The next few orcs, regardless of their broken bones, torn muscles, or hidden injuries, all miraculously recovered quickly under the combined effects of Ruan Xiyue's supernatural abilities and healing pills.

Each healing was accompanied by a reduction in the pain on the orc's face, until it finally transformed into a look of gratitude and astonishment. They seemed to have witnessed a miracle, their eyes regaining the light of life.

Throughout the entire process, Ruan Xiyue remained calm and focused, fine beads of sweat appearing on her forehead, yet she never showed the slightest sign of slackening. The surrounding atmosphere was tense yet sacred, as if a silent ceremony was taking place, witnessing a magnificent epic of life's journey from decay to revival.

As the last ray of supernatural light dissipated, the seven wandering orcs stood up and surrounded Ruan Xiyue, their eyes filled with awe and gratitude.

They thought they would surely die in this desolate wilderness, just as no one cared when they were alive.

In this desolate land, they not only received physical healing but also experienced unprecedented warmth and hope. At that moment, the figure of the Holy Maiden Xiyue became the most dazzling light in their hearts.

They finally understood why Chief Longze was willing to go to any lengths to help Holy Mother Xiyue uncover the secret behind the extermination of the Iron-Eating Beast tribe.

Because if it were them, they would probably be happy to have such a partner too!

Ruan Xiyue stared intently at Long Ze, noticing that after taking the healing pill, he could only recover slowly with the help of the medicine, and her heart was filled with worry.

She took a deep breath to relieve the fatigue from the excessive use of her powers.

Her voice was soft yet carried an undeniable firmness, breaking the silence: "Let them leave first, I'll stay and heal you slowly."

Long Ze's brows furrowed, forming a deep "川" shape, his eyes filled with worry and concern. He looked at Ruan Xiyue, hesitating to speak: "Your special ability..."

He knew that using her healing powers would be extremely taxing on her, but he was powerless to stop the current predicament.

Ruan Xiyue seemed to have anticipated his worries. Before he could finish speaking, she gently shook her head, indicating that she was fine.

Immediately afterwards, she pretended to take out another mid-grade energy pill from her storage bag and put it into her mouth without hesitation.

The pill melted instantly upon entering her mouth, and a surge of heat coursed through her body, replenishing her nearly depleted reserves of supernatural power.

Then, Ruan Xiyue slowly reached out her hand, her movements as gentle as a breeze across a lake. Her fingertips lightly traced the shocking wound on Long Ze's cheek, and at the same time, a beige healing power continuously flowed from her palm.

Long Ze felt an unbearable itching and tingling sensation coming from his wound, a feeling that was both unfamiliar and peculiar.

He suppressed his discomfort, shifted his gaze from Ruan Xiyue to his subordinates, and said in a deep voice, "Take the bodies of your two brothers and find a place to bury them properly."

Then, leave immediately.

Upon returning to our territory, we must immediately reorganize and thoroughly investigate how our whereabouts were exposed.

Long Ze's voice was deep and cold, each word seemingly wrapped in frost.

Upon hearing this, the faces of the wandering orcs turned deathly pale.

Their hideout had been secretive and secure for years without any problems, so their sudden exposure was highly suspicious.

Could it be...? A terrible thought flashed through their minds simultaneously: Could there be a traitor among them? This idea was like a bombshell, causing a huge uproar in their hearts.

Despite being filled with shock and unease, they quickly accepted the order.

Before leaving, they cast complex glances at Long Ze and Ruan Xiyue, glances filled with gratitude, worry, and anger and resentment toward the unknown betrayers.

Then, they carefully lifted the bodies of their two companions, their steps heavy and slow, and silently left in another direction, their figures quickly disappearing into the dappled shadows of the trees.

Looking at Long Ze's body covered in wounds, Ruan Xiyue felt a pang of pity.

However, she knew she couldn't let her emotions get the better of her at this moment. After thinking for a while, she decided to only heal Long Ze's internal injuries and the deep wounds beneath his skin, leaving the horrific scars on his body clearly visible on the surface.

“I can’t completely cure you right now.” Ruan Xiyue looked at Long Ze with a firm gaze.

Then, she slowly said, "Because I want the two orc races that came with me to see that you were injured while investigating the truth about the extermination of my Iron-Eating Beast tribe."

Moreover, I'm going to take you to the City of Leer, so that the whole city will know about this!

I'll show them that messing with the wrong person can cost them their lives!

When she said those words, Ruan Xiyue was momentarily taken aback by her own composure.

Recalling when she first led everyone here, even though she saw that Long Ze was seriously injured, she was able to make a quick decision to prioritize treating Long Ze's wandering orc subordinates.

After all, if an unexpected incident occurs and the warriors of both races come and witness their relationship with the wandering orcs, it will inevitably cause a lot of trouble.

Throughout the treatment of the stray beastmen, Ruan Xiyue's mind remained constantly at high speed.

When she learned from Duo Duo that the Great Bamboo Lemur possessed the largest bamboo forest in the entire Beast God Continent, she immediately thought of how to take advantage of Long Ze's injury to gain the greatest benefit.

There is a huge conspiracy behind the extermination of the Iron-Eating Beast tribe. Since she is the last survivor of the Iron-Eating Beast tribe and has become the Holy Mother, she must use this incident to obtain the greatest compensation for herself.

All beast cities must know this, and all the great bamboo lemurs must pay the price for it!

She would seize every opportunity to eliminate anyone who dared to harm her! This was the only useful lesson she learned from the battlefield of national destiny in her previous life.
