I Transmigrated as a Villainess to Raise Babies, and My Beast Husbands Are Fighting Madly Over Me!-Chapter 109: Dissolving the Mating Contract

"Tata, stop hiding! I can see you!"

Qiao Qiao ran round and round through the tall grass, but she couldn’t catch Tata’s scent anywhere.

"Qiaoqiao, what are you doing? Hurry up and come catch us!"

Having hidden for a long time, Qiao Ang grew impatient and ran out on his own.

Qiao Qiao giggled and pounced on him. "Caught you, big brother!"

"You’re cheating! I came out on my own."

Qiao Qiao made a face at him. "Well, who was the silly one who ran out?"

Qiao Ang huffed in annoyance, turned, and shouted to the tree behind him, "Qiao Lie, come on down! I’ve been caught."

A small, crimson snake slowly slithered down from the large tree, transforming into human shape once it reached the ground.

Qiao Lie looked around. "Where’s Tata?"

Qiao Qiao shook her head. "I just searched everywhere but couldn’t smell his scent at all. It’s so weird."

"Let’s find him and get him to come out."

"Okay."

The three cubs gathered on the grass to look for Tata.

Seeing that they couldn’t find Tata, Gu Man stood up and walked toward the patch of grass where Tata had hidden earlier.

"Tata, come on out. Qiao Ang has been caught."

Gu Man waited for a moment, but Tata didn’t appear. She found it strange, too; she was sure she had seen Tata hide here just a moment ago.

"Tata? Tata?"

Qiao Xixi realized something was wrong and called Qiao Qiao and the others over to ask what was happening.

Qiao Qiao said, "Tata was here just a minute ago, but now we don’t know where he went."

Frowning, Qiao Xixi led the cubs over to Gu Man.

"Any luck? Can you smell Tata’s scent?"

"His scent is very faint. That little stinker must have run off to play by himself again. He probably went to the creek. I’ll go look for him over there."

Qiao Xixi was worried. "I’ll go with you."

"Mhm."

Halfway there, they saw Jin Ling approaching, carrying bamboo stalks.

Qiao Xixi told him about Tata.

Jin Ling reassured her, "Cubs are most playful at this age. Don’t worry too much. I’ll go with you to take a look."

"Mhm."

Jin Ling returned the bamboo to the grove, then followed Qiao Xixi and the others toward the creek.

At first, Gu Man wasn’t overly nervous. Tata had a habit of running off, and every time, they had found him in the water.

But this time, they had searched nearly the entire waterway that ran through the tribe and still hadn’t found a trace of Tata’s scent. Gu Man grew more and more anxious.

"Gu Man, try not to panic. He might have gotten tired from playing and fallen asleep somewhere."

Gu Man nodded, agitated, and told Bu Xi to get more beastmen to help with the search.

But even by the time the sky was completely dark, they still hadn’t found any sign of Tata.

Jin Ling was worried about Qiao Xixi continuing to wander around outside.

"Xixi, let me take you and the cubs back home first."

Qiao Xixi glanced at her exhausted-looking cubs and nodded.

"Mhm."

After taking Qiao Xixi and the others back, Jin Ling just ate some raw meat before heading out again to help with the search.

The cubs sat around Qiao Xixi, all in low spirits.

Tata was the only friend they’d made since they were born. Now that their friend was missing, they were all extremely worried.

"Mother, do you think Tata will be okay?"

"Of course. Who could bear to harm a cub as cute as Tata?"

After she spoke, Qiao Xixi sighed internally. ’Even I don’t believe that.’

’System, System, can you help me find out where Tata is?’

"Host, I cannot give you a precise location, but I can confirm that he is still within the tribe, likely not far from where you are."

The first thing Qiao Xixi thought of was the creek not far from them. ’Could Tata still be in the water, and they just didn’t find him?’

Qiao Xixi wanted to tell Gu Man this information, but it was dark now, and she didn’t feel safe leaving the three cubs home alone. She could only wait for Jin Ling to return and tell him. They knew Tata loved the water, so they would surely search there anyway.

On the other side of the tribe, Feili was confronting Gu Yu and his son.

"Feili, I’ve made myself perfectly clear. Youyue is Gu Li’s mate now. They’ve already bonded. You can’t drive her out of the tribe. This is also the wish of the Clan Leader’s mate."

Gu Li lifted his chin arrogantly. "That’s right. Youyue is a Sacred Female. I’ve never seen a tribe stupid enough to drive away a Sacred Female."

Feili’s face was grim. He should have come to resolve this matter in the morning, but he had been dealing with the Mutant Beast issue from last night until just a moment ago. This was the first chance he’d had to come over.

"I am here to inform you, not to ask for your opinion. Go, and throw that vicious female out of the tribe."

The expressions on Gu Yu and his son’s faces changed in unison. They hadn’t expected Feili to be so stubborn.

Gu Li turned and blocked the doorway. "If anyone dares to touch Youyue today, they’ll have to go through me."

The male beastmen who had stepped forward to seize her looked at Feili with difficulty.

Feili’s expression was unchanged. "If anyone gets in the way, throw them out too."

With Feili’s explicit order, the beastmen no longer hesitated. If Gu Li dared to stop them, they would fight him.

"I’d like to see who dares to touch a Sacred Female."

Just then, a snow fox female dressed in brown beast hides walked over. She looked very mature and beautiful.

When Feili saw the female, a flash of suppressed emotion crossed his eyes, but he quickly hid it.

Qiu Ling walked arrogantly up to Feili and looked at him coldly. "Feili, I always thought you were unintelligent, but I never imagined that after all these years, you’d still be so ridiculously stupid. Gu Li’s mate is a Sacred Female, and you’re actually trying to drive her away for the sake of a Wandering Beast’s brat?"

Feili clenched his fists and explained patiently, "Qiu Ling, she is too vicious..."

"Hmph. Wandering Beasts deserve to die. Today, I’ll be the one to decide that the Sacred Female stays. If anyone dares to stop me, I will dissolve the mate contract with your Clan Leader!"

As soon as she said this, the expressions of all the beastmen present changed.

Gu Yu sneered. "Feili, if you’re going to be stupid, you should at least listen to your mate. She won’t lead you astray."

"Clan Leader, surely you don’t intend to dissolve your mate contract with the Matron over a few Wandering Beasts, do you? The contract’s backlash could very well take your life." Gu Li laughed, looking incredibly smug.

Qiu Ling ordered Feili, "Not only must you let the Sacred Female stay, but you must also treat her well. I heard it was that Wandering Beast who made her unable to speak? Go and bring that Wandering Beast here at once. Make her cure the Sacred Female immediately."

Seeing Feili remain silent, Gu Yu said impatiently, "What are you standing there for? Don’t delay the Matron’s rest."

Feili’s fists were clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white, and his expression was grim.

"She was punished by the Beast God for lying. It has nothing to do with Xixi, and you absolutely will not disturb Xixi because of this."

"Feili, you dare defy my order! Fine! I’ll destroy my contract with you right now!"

Qiu Ling took out a bone knife and suddenly stabbed at the beast tattoo on her hand.

Feili’s expression changed drastically.

The instant the bone knife pierced the beast tattoo, Feili felt a dull ache spread from his heart.

"PFFT—"

Fresh blood sprayed from his lips. Feili’s vision went black, and he collapsed to his knees.

"Clan Leader!"
