I Transmigrated as a Villainess to Raise Babies, and My Beast Husbands Are Fighting Madly Over Me!-Chapter 112: You Didn’t Really Think I’d Spare You
When Qiao Xixi told Jin Ling her plan, he objected for the very first time.
"No way. It’s too risky. I won’t allow it."
Qiao Xixi knew it would be dangerous, but at the moment, there was no better solution.
She hugged Jin Ling’s arm. "We’ll be well-prepared, and we’ll explain it clearly to the Clan Leader. He’ll help us."
Jin Ling’s brow remained furrowed.
Qiao Xixi resorted to pestering him, clinging to his arm and wriggling about until her wheedling finally wore him down.
"I don’t know why you insist on bringing the cubs, but I’ll do everything in my power to protect you all."
Qiao Xixi leaned against his chest, her voice soft. "You’ve said it yourself—the cubs have to grow up eventually. They need to learn how to face and handle things. This is just another learning experience, isn’t it?"
Jin Ling let out a soft sigh. "Alright."
The unconscious Feili felt a familiar warmth slowly seep into his body, bringing immense relief to the oppressive pain in his chest.
He opened his eyes and froze, stunned to see several little heads gathered in front of him.
"Grandfather, you’re awake." Qiao Qiao let go of him and smiled with delight.
Feili looked at Qiaoqiao as realization dawned. "Was that you, Qiaoqiao, using your Healing Skill to treat me just now?"
Qiao Qiao nodded. "Yes. Do you feel any better, Grandfather?"
Feili sat up, feeling much more comfortable. "I’m much better now. Thank you, Qiaoqiao. You’re such a good cub."
"Clan Leader, you’re awake. You should eat something."
Jin Ling placed a plate of raw meat in front of Feili.
Feili looked a little embarrassed. "I’m sorry for troubling you last night. I won’t eat." With that, he started to get up and leave.
But Jin Ling said, "I have something to discuss with you, Clan Leader."
Feili knew what he was going to say. "Rest assured, I will handle the matter with Youyue. It won’t affect Xixi and the cubs."
"Clan Leader, Xixi says she has a way to deal with her."
Feili refused without a second thought.
"I do not approve."
"Clan Leader, this is the only way to quickly resolve this issue for good. Xixi has already made her decision. We hope you’ll cooperate."
Feili opened his mouth to say something more, but then let out a sudden sigh.
He could tell that Qiao Xixi was not like other females; she was intelligent and had a mind of her own.
"Fine. Since you’ve made up your minds, I’ll help you. What do you want me to do?"
After leaving Qiao Xixi’s home, Feili found a beastman to deliver a message to Gu Li.
"First thing tomorrow morning, Qiao Xixi asks that you go to the altar outside the tribe. She will beseech the Beast God to lift the punishment on Youyue."
Gu Li was immediately unhappy. "There’s an altar in the tribe. Why can’t it be here? Why do we have to go outside the tribe?"
Upon hearing this, Youyue’s eyes darted about for a moment before she tugged on Gu Li’s sleeve.
Gu Li took her hand. "What is it, Youyue?"
Youyue began gesturing to him. Over the past few days, they had learned to communicate with simple hand signals.
"You’re saying you’re willing to go?"
Youyue nodded.
Gu Li, however, thought leaving the tribe at a time like this was too risky.
After Youyue had the messenger beastman leave, she shut the door and began gesturing frantically to Gu Li.
Gu Li understood. "You’re saying... we can eliminate Qiao Xixi outside the tribe?"
Youyue nodded, putting on a fearful expression.
"You’re afraid she’ll try to hurt you again. You’re right! We can use this opportunity to get rid of her!"
Seeing that he understood, Youyue let a sly smile grace her lips and leaned gently into Gu Li’s embrace.
’She couldn’t wait to see the gruesome sight of Qiao Xixi’s death.’
「At daybreak, Qiao Xixi had already arrived at the altar.」
Gu Li walked over with several males protecting Youyue. Even more male beastmen followed behind them. They had all come voluntarily, hoping for a chance to become Youyue’s mate ever since they learned she was a sacred female.
Feili, who was standing to one side, spoke up as they arrived. "Since you’re all here, let’s begin."
Qiao Xixi looked at Youyue. "She stays. Everyone else, back away. You are not to come any closer."
Gu Li retorted, "How do we know you won’t hurt Youyue?"
"If you insist on staying and provoke the Beast God to cast down his judgment, can you bear the consequences?"
Gu Li fell silent. The Beast God held absolute authority in the hearts of the beastmen. He shot Qiao Xixi a warning glare. "You’d better not try anything funny."
Qiao Xixi indifferently shifted her gaze away from them and pointed to the statue of the Beast God.
"Come here and kneel."
Youyue glanced at Qiao Xixi, then knelt.
Qiao Xixi, making a show of holding a feather, circled Youyue several times, then stopped and told her to open her mouth.
Youyue started to refuse, but Qiao Xixi pinched her jaws and stuffed the medicine into her mouth.
Youyue was forced to swallow, her face filled with terror.
"What did you give me?" The words had barely left her mouth when a look of utter shock crossed Youyue’s face.
"I can speak! I can finally speak!"
Qiao Xixi watched her, her face expressionless.
After her moment of joy, Youyue glanced at Gu Li standing not far behind her. She then turned to Qiao Xixi, her voice dropping to a bare whisper.
"You despicable Wandering Beast. In the end, you still have to do what I say, don’t you?"
Qiao Xixi’s blue eyes darkened.
Youyue smirked triumphantly, all traces of her former innocent demeanor gone.
"Oh, Qiao Xixi, your mistake was trying to steal what belongs to me. I am a sacred female, you see. The males of this world are mine to choose from. Only the ones I deem unworthy—the absolute dregs—should be left for inferior females like you."
"But you won’t get that chance. Because you won’t be able to have any male, not even the worst of them."
The color drained from Qiao Xixi’s face. "What do you mean by that?"
Youyue covered her mouth to hide a smile, then leaned closer to Qiao Xixi, her expression suddenly changing. "Because you’re about to die."
Youyue suddenly grabbed Qiao Xixi’s hand and screamed, "Ahh, no! Please, don’t hurt me!"
Just as Youyue was pretending to be pushed over by Qiao Xixi, Qiao Xixi suddenly gripped her hand tightly, a wild sneer appearing in her eyes.
Youyue froze, stunned. "What are you doing?"
Qiao Xixi’s blue eyes were like a bottomless abyss. "Youyue, you didn’t actually think I was going to let you go, did you?"
Youyue’s expression changed dramatically. "Let go of me... AHH!"
Gripping Youyue tightly, Qiao Xixi suddenly jumped down the slope behind her.
Snapping to his senses, Gu Li charged forward frantically. "Youyue! Youyue!"
The other males all scrambled after Gu Li. This was the perfect opportunity to impress Youyue, and they refused to miss it.
Qiao Xixi dragged Youyue with her as they rolled down the slope. A stream flowed at the bottom, and the two of them tumbled into the water together.
"Ah, help... MMPH..."
Youyue struggled desperately in the water. Just as she was about to run out of air, Qiao Xixi pulled her back to the surface.
"Speak. Did you have a beastman throw Tata into the water cistern?"
Her face pale, Youyue shook her head.
Qiao Xixi’s expression turned frigid, and she plunged her back into the water.
