I Transmigrated as a Villainess to Raise Babies, and My Beast Husbands Are Fighting Madly Over Me!-Chapter 108: You’ve Got Him Hook, Line, and Sinker
"You’re saying Gu Li brought Youyue back?"
Feili was stunned to hear Gu Man’s words, and his expression immediately darkened.
"Yes, and he wants to become her mate."
Feili clasped his hands behind his back and let out a heavy sigh.
"I understand. I’ll take care of it. It’s getting late, you should head back now."
Gu Man nodded, leaving with her beastmen mates while holding the already-asleep Tata.
Feiyan entered the house with a dark expression; he had heard everything.
"I’ll go throw her out right now."
"Wait. You have to lead the Hunting Team out at dawn tomorrow. You don’t need to worry about this."
Feiyan frowned in disapproval. "Father..."
"Enough. Are you the Clan Leader, or am I? Get to bed."
Feiyan didn’t want Feili to face his mother alone. He knew exactly what kind of person his mother was.
He made up his mind to go with Feili first thing in the morning to resolve this matter before heading out to hunt.
However, what Feiyan hadn’t expected was that trouble would strike before dawn.
"Clan Leader, this is bad! A swarm of Mutant Beasts is suddenly charging toward the tribe!"
Feiyan was jolted awake. By the time he opened his door and walked out, Feili was already getting the details from Ma Qing.
"How many are there?"
"The patrolling beastmen said there are at least a hundred, but thankfully, none of them have any stars."
Feili’s face was grim. "We absolutely cannot let these Mutant Beasts reach the tribe. Take fifty 3-star or higher beastmen immediately and go drive them away."
"Right." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
"I’m going too."
Feiyan walked over to Ma Qing’s side.
Feili glanced at Feiyan and nodded. "Be careful. Kill them if you can, but if you can’t, focus on driving them away."
"Okay."
At this hour, Qiao Xixi and the cubs were all asleep, but her two males stood silently in the storage room, staring at the piled-up food.
Finally, it was Jin Ling who broke the silence.
"Based on the amount of prey we’re bringing in, there’s no way we’ll be able to stockpile enough food before the cold season arrives."
The cubs are all going through growth spurts, so their appetites are increasing. We also need enough raw meat to maintain our stamina. Not having enough food will make this cold season very difficult to get through.
"Did you run into Mutant Beasts on the mountain again today?"
Jin Ling nodded. "But we chose to avoid them. We didn’t confront them head-on."
But even so, the appearance of the Mutant Beasts had caused the amount of prey in the mountains to dwindle.
"The tribe’s Hunting Team is planning to go deeper into the mountains to hunt. A trip like that means they probably won’t be back the same day. I’ll go with them. You stay here in the tribe and watch over Xixi and the others."
"No, I’ll go."
Jin Ling frowned. "Can your body handle that kind of prolonged exertion?"
Sunxiao’s expression was indifferent. "I’ve made it this many years. It won’t kill me."
Jin Ling didn’t approve, but he knew Sunxiao wouldn’t listen to his advice.
Just as they finished speaking, they heard a commotion from outside the courtyard.
Sunxiao glanced at Jin Ling. "I’ll go check it out."
Jin Ling nodded.
In the blink of an eye, Sunxiao’s figure vanished into the darkness.
That night, Qiao Xixi slept restlessly, tossing and turning until she finally fell into a deep sleep just before dawn.
When she woke again, the cubs were no longer in the room.
Qiao Xixi came out of the house to find the courtyard gate open. The cubs had all shifted into their beast forms and were playing around with Jin Ling.
Qiao Lie, with his sharp eyes, spotted Qiao Xixi standing at the door and ran over.
"Mother’s awake! We were all waiting for you to go cut bamboo."
Jin Ling led the cubs back into the courtyard and used an animal-hide cloth to wipe the sweat off them.
"The cubs can’t go outside to practice their hunting skills right now, so I’m having them practice a bit with me."
Hearing this, Qiao Xixi couldn’t help but hug Jin Ling. "Jin Ling, I’m done for."
Jin Ling’s expression changed slightly. "What’s wrong?"
Qiao Xixi looked up at him with wide, innocent eyes. "I’m going to drown in your tenderness."
Three little faces scrunched up.
Eww~
’You’ve got the big male completely wrapped around your finger!’
Jin Ling chuckled, the palm resting on her waist growing hotter. If the cubs weren’t watching, he was the one who wanted to fiercely drown himself in her body...
"Weren’t we going to cut bamboo today? Let’s eat first, and then we’ll go."
"Okay. Where’s Sunxiao? Why haven’t I seen him?"
"He left early this morning with the tribe’s hunting party. The place they’re going this time might be quite far, so it could be several days before he’s back."
Qiao Xixi froze and frowned. "Why didn’t he tell me? What if they run into Mutant Beasts again?"
If she had known Sunxiao was going, she would have insisted on stuffing a few Crystal Stones into his hands for protection.
Now all she could do was pray that Sunxiao wouldn’t encounter any danger and would return safely.
"Don’t worry. The beastmen in the Hunting Team with him are all at least 3-star and very strong."
Qiao Xixi nodded. It was the only way she could console herself.
After eating, Jin Ling led them to the tribe’s bamboo grove. His hands transformed into sharp claws, and he began chopping down the bamboo.
"Qiao Ang! Qiao Ang!"
Tata came running over on his short little legs and hugged Qiao Ang, who was helping out.
Qiao Ang’s little face wrinkled as he pushed away Tata’s approaching face.
"Let go."
Tata giggled and let go. "Qiao Ang, what are you guys playing? I want to play too."
Seeing that her cubs’ little friend had come to find them, Qiao Xixi didn’t hold them back.
"Go on and play with Tata."
The cubs were still young and full of playful energy. After getting Qiao Xixi’s permission, they happily ran off to play.
"Don’t go too far! Stay where Mother can see you."
"We know!"
"Xixi, why don’t you go watch the cubs? I’ll be done here soon."
Qiao Xixi was indeed a little worried about the cubs. "Okay, we’ll come back over in a little while."
"Mm."
There was a large grassy field in the tribe where the young cubs usually liked to play.
When Qiao Xixi arrived, she saw her cubs and Tata running around wildly.
"Xixi."
Gu Man saw Qiao Xixi and walked over.
"I have to tell you something."
Seeing her serious expression, Qiao Xixi couldn’t help but be curious. "What is it?"
"I saw Youyue come back to the tribe yesterday."
Qiao Xixi’s pupils constricted. "What did you say?"
"I already told the Clan Leader. He said he would handle it."
Qiao Xixi pressed her lips together tightly. "I’ll go ask the Clan Leader about it later."
"Okay, I’ll go with you."
"Tata, stop hiding! I can see you!"
Qiao Qiao shouted at a clump of grass. They were playing hide-and-seek.
Qiao Qiao tiptoed toward the clump of grass and saw a small white tail wagging back and forth. She gave a confident laugh and pounced on it.
"Tata, I got you!"
A cry of pain came from the grass. A white cat cub was pinned underneath Qiao Qiao.
"Father, help me! Father, help!" the white cat cub cried out in terror.
Qiao Qiao was startled too and quickly scrambled off her.
"I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose!"
Freed, the white cat cub scrambled up from the ground and ran away.
Qiao Qiao looked around, confused.
’That’s strange. I’m sure I smelled Tata’s scent right here. How could it not have been him?’
