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

Chapter 114 She definitely loves me more than she loves the High Priest!

[Have more offspring and reach the Brown rank as soon as possible. The host's healing ability can solve this problem.]

How many steps are I left to reach the brown rank?

[Host, the ranks advance in the following order: white, purple, blue, cyan, green, yellow, orange, gray, red, brown, silver, and gold. You are currently at the gray rank, and you need six more litters to reach the red rank.]

Oh, okay. I'll try my best! Is there any other way to quickly reach the brown rank?

[There are no other shortcuts to rapid improvement, host. However, if your goal is to resolve the damage to your heart meridian, using your healing ability three times a day, along with taking a healing pill every three days, can eliminate the arrhythmia within a month. But this is not a cure, host.]

What are the consequences if it's not completely cured?

[You must not use your superpowers to their limit. If you do, the damage to your heart meridian will become even more severe.]

【Understood. 】

Ruan Xiyue decided to reluctantly spend 400 points to buy 20 healing pills.

For some reason, once Ruan Xiyue had enjoyed the discounted price, she felt like she was losing out when she bought things at the regular price.

Forget it, the heart problem is making her feel worse than if she feels cheated. She should focus on taking care of her health first!

Jiu Chen quickly prepared the fried meat and minced meat porridge. Surprisingly, his cooking skills were very similar to those of Long Ze.

Jiu Chen's ears turned slightly red, and he lowered his eyes as he said, "I thought you liked the taste of Long Ze's cooking, so I learned how to make it. I don't know if you'll like it."

Ruan Xiyue couldn't help but smile, but deliberately teased Jiu Chen: "Can your younger brother cook? Is his cooking good?"

Jiu Chen's narrow, almond-shaped eyes widened slightly for a moment, then he quickly lowered his gaze: "He wouldn't."

Ruan Xiyue raised her eyebrows: "So you're saying he should be my matchmaker? When is he coming?"

Jiu Chen tightened his grip on the stone spoon, pursed his thin lips slightly, and then said to Ruan Xiyue, "He's busy. He likes to travel around."

"So, you were deceiving me when you said you introduced your younger brother to me as a beastial husband. Is that right?"

Jiu Chen put down the stone spoon, looked up at Ruan Xiyue, opened his mouth, and his expression showed a moment of panic.

Just then, someone outside the door said to the guard, "Hello, I am the younger brother of High Priest Jiuchen! I went to the priesthood but didn't see him. I heard he came here to discuss some matters with Holy Mother Xiyue. So I came here. I'm here to see my elder brother!"

Ruan Xiyue, Jiu Chen, and even Cong Xian all looked at the gate with some surprise.

Jiu Chen hurriedly got up, dragging the wooden chair across the floor with an unpleasant sound.

"Excuse me, I'm going out to take a look..." Jiu Chen quickly walked towards the door.

Ruan Xiyue's wicked whisper echoed in the living room: "He's here just in time. Didn't you want him to be my date? Invite him in."

Cong Xian doesn't know if it's just his imagination, but he always feels that the High Priest of the Nine Stars looks like he's about to shatter from behind...

Jiu Chen walked to the door, opened it a little, and slipped out sideways.

Ruan Xiyue and Cong Xian were both astonished. Could a normal beastman do this? The gap in the door... it's not even a foot wide, is it?

Cong Xian exclaimed in amazement, "High Priest Jiu Chen truly lives up to his reputation as a member of the Spirit Cat Clan!"

Ruan Xiyue nodded in agreement, "Yes! Cats seem to be the legendary 'liquid animals'!"

"Brother! Are you alright?" Jiu Chen's younger brother's voice clearly showed lingering fear.

Jiu Chen shook his head: "I'm fine. Why did you come to Bright Moon Beast City?"

Jiu Chen's younger brother frowned slightly and asked, "You... don't seem very welcoming? Is there something you don't want me to know?"

Jiu Chen paused for a moment, then said in his usual cold tone, "No."

Jiu Chen's younger brother narrowed his eyes: "I've heard about the damage to your heart meridian. Are you worried that I'll get nervous if I find out?"

Jiu Chen: "You're overthinking it."

Jiu Chen's younger brother: "Something's not right with you."

"I had just finished my mission and arrived at the Priest's Court in Zhaonan Beast City when I heard that you had an accident in Mingyue Beast City."

Master has caught up with us.

I rushed over here immediately. Is this how you treat me? Something's not right with you!

Jiu Chen rubbed his temples: "I'm fine. If there's anything wrong, I'll talk to you when we get back to the priest's tower."

Ruan Xiyue opened the door, and Jiu Chen subconsciously used his shoulder to block his younger brother's view.

Ruan Xiyue asked in a clear and melodious voice, "May I ask your younger brother to come in and talk?"

Jiu Chen directly grasped Ruan Xiyue's small hand and looked coldly at his younger brother, whose eyes were full of curiosity: "He has things to do. I've already said what I needed to say to him."

Jiu Chen's younger brother was stunned, tilting his head slightly as he looked at his older brother in surprise.

"I just……"

"Aren't you going back? Oh, right, your master is looking for you."

"Huh? I just got from Master..."

“My master is old, he might have forgotten and didn’t have time to tell you. He told me before. I’m keeping it in mind for him.”

Jiu Chen's younger brother slightly shrank his chin, squinted at his older brother, and seeing the unwavering seriousness on his face, he still chose to believe him.

Because his elder brother seemed to have never lied to him.

"Alright then! Since you're free for now, I'll go find Master first. Sister-in-law, please bear with me. My brother is too cold-hearted; if he treats you coldly, I'll apologize on his behalf! Oh, by the way! I'm my brother's younger brother, my name is Jiu Mu! See you next time!"

“I am not your brother…” Ruan Xiyue quickly explained.

Jiu Chen turned around, cupped Ruan Xiyue's cheeks, and gently silenced her with his lips.

Ruan Xiyue opened her eyes, looked at his trembling long eyelashes, and bit Jiu Chen with her teeth.

Jiu Chen let Ruan Xiyue bite him until she gently pushed him away. Only then did he apologize, his chest heaving, "I'm sorry..."

Ruan Xiyue raised an eyebrow: "Didn't you say that I would repay your life-saving grace by introducing my younger brother to me?"

Jiu Chen pursed his thin lips, looked into Ruan Xiyue's eyes, and asked earnestly, "I was wrong. Can you change the terms of my repayment?"

Ruan Xiyue raised her eyebrows, pursed her lips, and turned to go back to her house.

Jiu Chen turned around and followed Ruan Xiyue into the room.

Cong Xian held his bowl, propped his neck up, and stared for a long time before quickly lowering his head to eat.

He used to think that the female Xi Yue didn't actually like him, perhaps because he was almost hurt by the wandering beastmen and had lost his reputation... Kind-hearted Ruan Xi Yue took pity on him and took him in as her beast husband.

But compared to the High Priest of Nine Stars, he felt that the female Xi Yue was quite good to him.

If Xi Yue, a female, treated him like that, his heart would probably break. He'd cry...

Mingming Xiyue doesn't seem to dislike the High Priest... Could it be that he's mistaken?

I feel very confused.

After finishing her meal, Ruan Xiyue pulled Jiu Chen aside and used her healing abilities for a while longer. Jiu Chen frowned, his eyes fixed on Ruan Xiyue, afraid that she might feel uncomfortable from using her abilities.

Ruan Xiyue glared at him, took a healing pill herself, and forcefully shoved another one into Jiu Chen's hand.

"I cherish my body even more than you do!"

Jiu Chen couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and question Ruan Xiyue.

Ruan Xiyue's eyes widened, her gaze threatening Jiu Chen: You dare!

Jiu Chen quickly lowered his eyes and looked elsewhere, his shoulders hunching slightly inward.
