Chapter 197 Blood Crystal Deer
Listening to the voice in her head, her lips twitched. One was 85, the other was 88, each increasing by 10 points. These two were quite in sync.

Although the favorability rating wasn't above 90, I wasn't disappointed.

The later the game goes, the harder it is to increase favorability.

Don't think that just because Bai Qi suddenly jumped to 90 and entered the "deep love" level, Mo Lin and Ye Ling are inferior.

The two situations are different and cannot be compared.

Bai Qi's situation was special; her 90% favorability rating was entirely earned by risking her life.

Despite being pregnant at the time, she disregarded her own safety and that of her unborn child, shielding Bai Qi from a deadly sneak attack by the eight-tailed red fox…

That's why the favorability rating suddenly jumped to 90.

Mo Lin and Ye Ling had always gotten along well with her without any major setbacks, but relatively speaking, it wasn't so easy for them to increase her favorability.

Su Xiyue was certain that unless she experienced some huge shock or something unforgettable happened in the future, she would be fine.

Otherwise, Ye Ling and Mo Lin's favorability rating would probably just stay there.

It's not difficult to make a man fall in love with you, but to make him remember you deeply and have you ingrained in his very being requires the right timing, the right place, and the right people.

"What are you thinking about? You seem so lost in thought."

Seeing that she suddenly stared blankly, Ye Ling waved her hand in front of her and said with a worried expression.

Su Xiyue snapped back to her senses and was about to speak.

Su Lie eagerly squeezed in, his loud voice causing the three newborn wolf cubs to howl incessantly.

Qingzhu, Xuanming, and the witch doctor followed closely behind.

However, Qingzhu was holding a large ceramic bowl with steam rising from it, and it smelled quite delicious. I wonder what it was stewing.

Seeing the three cubs crying in fear, Ye Ling felt a pang of heartache. She pulled them closer to her and looked at Su Lie with displeasure in her silver eyes, "Chief, the cubs are timid."

This means that you scared them.

Su Lie coughed awkwardly twice, stepped onto the stone bed, and stared at the three furry wolf cubs with a mixture of surprise and delight: "The silver one looks exactly like Ah Ling when she was little, and the black one looks like that rascal Xuan Ming."

Before she could finish speaking, Ye Ling's face darkened instantly. She looked up at Su Lie and coldly reminded him, "Leader, these three brats are all my bloodline."

Why does his son resemble Xuanming?

Xuanming followed him in and was now lazily leaning against the stone wall on one side of the cave.

Upon hearing this, he burst into laughter, his animal skin collar slightly open, revealing his broad and well-built honey-colored pectoral muscles, which vibrated with his laughter, exuding both wildness and extreme sexiness.

"Hahaha...this is so funny..."

He talked and laughed nonstop.

I finally managed to stop laughing.

Suddenly, he bent down and approached the stone bed, poking the black wolf cub's forehead with his fingertip. "I can't give birth to a cub with a crescent moon mark."

He turned and raised an eyebrow at Ye Ling, his wild eyes full of mockery: "However, if this brat is willing to call me Father..."

"You want to die?"

Ye Ling's silver eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light, but the little wolf cub in his arms suddenly bit his finger and ground its teeth. The sharp baby teeth instantly made him lose all his momentum.

Xuanming clicked his tongue lightly, completely ignoring Ye Ling's fury, and shrugged indifferently: "I was just joking with you, why are you so angry? It's not like I can't have kids, the next litter might just be mine."

His gaze fell on Su Xiyue on the stone bed, and his voice was playful: "Isn't that right, Little Moon?"

Su Xiyue has not yet answered.

Qingzhu glared coldly at Xuanming, "Yue'er just gave birth, what are you doing here acting so provocatively?"

He handed the freshly stewed venison soup to Su Xiyue. The rising steam from the soup blurred his cool features and softened his usual aloofness. He said softly, "Yue'er, this is the venison soup I made. Hmm... I copied it from you, so it might not taste very good. Try it."

Su Xiyue glanced at him, her lips curving slightly, clearly in a good mood.

Don't let Qingzhu's sharp tongue fool you; when she's being sarcastic, she can make people furious enough to flip the table. But when she's gentle, she's incredibly kind, considerate, and thoughtful.

He does resemble that old fox, Bai Qi, somewhat.

However, the old fox wasn't as sharp-tongued as him.

"it is good!"

She politely lowered her head and took a bite. The venison was stewed until tender and the broth was flavorful. Although it wasn't as delicious as hers, it wasn't bad either.

It's obvious that they put a lot of thought into it.

Su Xiyue ate in small bites.

Qingzhu knelt on the edge of the bed, and seeing her eating so intently, a beautiful smile curved his thin lips.

Seeing her disheveled hair, he gently tidied it up with his pale fingers. His usually indifferent emerald eyes reflected her eating, and he was incredibly gentle, like melting jade.

"Too much salt was added."

She suddenly felt like teasing Qingzhu, and deliberately frowned as she spoke.

Qingzhu's fingertips paused near her temple, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes. He quickly picked up the ceramic bowl and tasted it.

He found the saltiness to be just right; at least he didn't find it too salty.

But he didn't doubt Su Xiyue's words, assuming that she had just given birth and her taste was light, so it would naturally taste salty to her.

"I forgot you just gave birth and your taste is bland, so you should have used less salt."

He got up to throw it away, saying, "I'll make you a new one." Su Xiyue was taken aback, thinking to herself that this man was really easily fooled and actually took it seriously.

He was about to reach out and snatch it back.

Xuanming snatched the venison soup from Qingzhu's hand, saying, "It's such a waste to throw it away, I might as well drink it."

After saying that, he quickly finished the large bowl of venison, leaving not even a drop of broth.

Qingzhu's emerald eyes suddenly turned cold, and three wind blades condensed at her fingertips, pointing directly at Xuanming's throat, "Spit it out."

Xuanming nonchalantly licked the soup off his lips, his Adam's apple bobbing: "Swallowed it all."

He suddenly leaned close to Qingzhu's ear and gave a wicked laugh: "Trying to curry favor, but I ended up drinking the soup. Are you feeling pretty annoyed? But the taste was really good. I didn't expect you to have this skill, Qingzhu."

The wind blades at Qingzhu's fingertips suddenly surged, causing the temperature in the cave to plummet.

Mo Lin subtly protected the snake egg nest behind him, his legs instantly transforming into snake tails, silently encircling Su Xiyue inside.

He wouldn't care even if those two were killed, but only if Snake Egg and Moon were not implicated.

Ye Ling narrowed her silver eyes, protecting the three children with one hand, and said coldly, "If you want to fight, go outside and fight."

Su Lie rubbed his temples, looking at Qingzhu with a headache. "Put away your wind blade. We can stew the venison again. Yue'er just gave birth and is weak; she needs to rest."

After saying that, he kicked Xuanming again: "You brat, if you want to drink it, can't you cook it yourself? Why are you stealing it from him?"

Even if it's salty, it's because Qingzhu stewed it for Yue'er.

Even if it's a waste to throw it away, it's not Xuanming's turn to drink it.

Suddenly, I felt that this kid had a low emotional intelligence.

Xuanming nimbly dodged Su Lie's kick, casually tossed the empty bowl onto the stone table, and grinned with a roguish air: "Chief, I was just afraid of wasting food."

He looked at Qingzhu with a playful expression, "Besides, Qingzhu's soup-making skills are really good. Yue'er doesn't have the luck to taste it, so what's wrong with me trying it for her?"

The wind blades at Qingzhu's fingertips vanished instantly, and her emerald eyes coldly swept over Xuanming: "Don't touch my things again."

The words were left unsaid, but the threat was palpable.

"Alright, what's the big deal?"

The witch doctor reluctantly interrupted the farce, slowly walked to the stone bed, and carefully examined Su Xiyue.

Then he withdrew his hand.

"Yue'er is in good health, but she is a little weak from giving birth and needs to take good care of herself."

As he spoke, he took out several dark red herbs from the animal skin bag. "This is Crimson Blood Ginseng. It's the most nourishing when stewed with venison. Drinking it for a while will help restore your blood and energy."

Ye Ling reached out and took the few dark red blood ginsengs, glanced at them, and tossed them to Qingzhu with a sneer, "Since you like to fawn over me so much, then you'll be in charge of Yue'er's three meals a day for the time being."

With a flick of her finger, Qingzhu caught the Crimson Blood Ginseng steadily, and glanced at Ye Ling with her emerald eyes. "You certainly know how to give me things to do, but I'm happy to take care of Yue'er."

Ye Ling narrowed her silver eyes slightly, her slender fingers gently stroking the three wolf cubs in her arms, and she sneered without any politeness: "Taking care of females is a male's duty. If I didn't have to take care of the cubs, do you think I would have given this task to you?"

After saying that, his gaze fell on Su Xiyue's pale face. He suddenly stood up, grabbed a fur blanket, and wrapped it around her exposed feet. "The Crimson Blood Ginseng is a good thing, but just a few of them are not enough."

He narrowed his silver eyes slightly, "Tomorrow I'll go hunt a few Blood Crystal Deer. Their marrow, when paired with Crimson Blood Ginseng, is a great tonic."

Mo Lin suddenly looked up, frowned and said, "Blood Crystal Deer only live near the Ice Abyss and are extremely rare. They might be hard to find. I'll go with you tomorrow."

Blood Crystal Deer themselves have little offensive power, so they are not difficult to capture.

The difficulty lies in the fact that it only appears in the Ice Abyss.

The Ice Abyss is one of the ten forbidden areas of the Beast World Continent. It is extremely dangerous, and countless orcs die there every year.

Su Xiyue didn't know what a Blood Crystal Deer was, where the Ice Abyss was, or the dangers within it.

Upon hearing this, Su Lie frowned deeply and looked at Ye Ling. "Even high-level beastmen find it difficult to withstand the blizzards of the Ice Abyss. Last year, the Mad Lion Tribe's hunting team went in, and only a few of them came out alive. It would be too dangerous for you to go there rashly."

He was naturally happy that Ye Ling and Mo Lin cared so much about their daughter.

However, he was more concerned about the safety of Ye Ling and Mo Lin.

If something happens, I can only imagine how heartbroken Yue'er will be.

This is also a major loss for the wolf tribe.

It's really not worth the risk for a few Blood Crystal Deer.

In Su Lie's opinion, Yue'er wasn't too weak to get up; a few Crimson Blood Ginseng would be enough to replenish her strength.

When Mu Qing gave birth to her child, she didn't eat this or that.

Not only did she personally breastfeed and care for the cubs, but she also still went to work in the fields, washing animal hides and cooking food.

I've never seen any of the females in the tribe so delicate.

Su Xiyue was unaware of Su Lie's thoughts. She had heard that the Ice Abyss was very dangerous, and even the beastmen of the Mad Lion Tribe had perished there. She frowned slightly.

But he chuckled lightly and said, "You're all exaggerating. I'm not that delicate."

The words fell.

Her gaze fell on the few Crimson Blood Ginsengs in Qingzhu's hand, and her eyes flickered slightly. "If you ask me, I don't even need these Crimson Blood Ginsengs. I'm afraid I'll get a nosebleed from taking them."

Although postpartum weakness is common, drinking more nourishing soups, taking good care of yourself during your postpartum period, and avoiding exposure to wind and cold water should help you recover.

There's really no need to make such a fuss; it just makes her seem spoiled.
