I Transmigrated as a Villainess to Raise Babies, and My Beast Husbands Are Fighting Madly Over Me!-Chapter 122: You Don’t Like His Type, Do You?
The cubs clearly sensed a change in Qiao Xixi’s aura. The large, gentle eyes from just a moment ago now seemed angry!
They were afraid of their mother getting angry; their mother was terrifying when she was angry.
The cubs made a tactical retreat, eventually moving to the most inconspicuous little corner of the cave...
As soon as the cubs were gone, Qiao Xixi scrambled up in a rage and slapped Feiyan across the face.
"You damn pervert!"
After being slapped, not only did Feiyan not dodge, he even forgot to react, his pair of fox-like eyes staring intently at Qiao Xixi.
Qiao Xixi froze, feeling a sudden chill across her chest.
She looked down and—good heavens, her clothes were gone.
Furious, she slapped him again. "Turn around!" She frantically grabbed the beast-pelt clothes from the ground and put them on.
Feiyan had just turned around when he thought of something and suddenly turned back, his gaze immediately falling on that stretch of smooth, pale skin... tinged with a faint pink born from her bashfulness...
He swallowed hard.
"I was trying to say your clothes are wet. You should wait until they’re dry to put them on..."
Qiao Xixi didn’t want Feiyan to know about her spatial storage, so she could only wring the water out of her outer beast-pelt tunic and plan to dry it by the fire later.
"I can help you dry your clothes," Feiyan offered again.
Qiao Xixi was still flushed with anger and embarrassment, but then she remembered his fire ability. ’Might as well use it,’ she thought. She took off her outer beast-pelt tunic again and handed it to him.
"Qiao Ang, Qiao Qiao, come here. Let’s get your clothes dry before you put them back on."
Hearing that Qiao Xixi’s voice didn’t sound angry anymore, the two cubs trotted out on their little short legs.
Qiao Xixi helped them take off all their clothes and gave them to Feiyan.
For a moment, the cave fell silent, with only the sound of Feiyan drying the beast-pelt clothes.
The two cubs looked at Qiao Xixi, then at Feiyan, but didn’t say anything either.
Qiao Xixi composed herself, temporarily pushing the unpleasantness from before to the back of her mind.
"Young Clan Leader, where did you find us?"
She only remembered falling down the waterfall.
"I followed the river downstream and found you."
It was strange. Logically, after falling from such a high waterfall, Qiao Xixi and the others should have been knocked unconscious. It had taken him a very long time to find them.
At that moment, he had already prepared for the worst. His heart felt like it had been crushed, the pain making it hard to breathe.
"I searched from day to night and finally found you on a piece of driftwood."
Qiao Xixi felt like she had amnesia, because she had no memory of climbing onto any driftwood.
"Host, you don’t need to wonder. It was me who saved you."
Qiao Xixi was surprised. She hadn’t expected the Little Imp to actually step in at a critical moment!
’Little Imp, I think I misjudged you before. Even though you’re just a string of code, it seems like you’ve developed a bit of humanity.’
"By the way, I’ve fronted 3,000 points for you. The Host now owes 2,700, so remember to pay it back."
Qiao Xixi: "..."
’Pretend I didn’t say anything!’
As if it could hear her thoughts, the Little Imp added, "Host, three lives—yours and the cubs’—for only 3,000 points. That’s a bargain."
’Hah! Before the upgrade, it was hard as hell for me to earn even a hundred points. Now you’re docking me by the hundreds or thousands at the drop of a hat. You work me harder than a rented mule!’
"Hey, hey, hey, Host, don’t be mad! You and your hot temper, always flying off the handle... How about 2,500? Just pay back 2,500. I can’t go any lower."
Qiao Xixi huffed, which was her way of agreeing.
She didn’t think there was anything wrong with trading 3,000 points for her and the cubs’ lives, but haggling was a must. And see? It had saved her 200 points.
"But Host, this is a one-time thing. I can’t let you run a tab again. If there’s a next time, I’ll be forced into hibernation."
The Little Imp had been in a panic at the time, terrified that Qiao Xixi would drown, so it had used its special system privilege.
’I know. Now, hurry up and check on Qiao Lie, Jin Ling, Sunxiao, and the Silver Tribe’s situation for me.’
"Don’t worry, Host. I’m looking now."
Qiao Xixi waited anxiously. The Mutant Beasts’ attack had been so ferocious. She had no idea how Sunxiao and the others were doing, or Qiao Lie.
’Qiao Lie is smart. He knows how to hide...’
"Host, based on Jin Ling’s location, he’s still in the tribe. I can’t find a precise location for Sunxiao and Qiao Lie, but I can confirm that they’re all still alive."
They’re all still alive.
Those five words were enough to make Qiao Xixi let out a sigh of relief.
"Qiao Xixi, Qiao Xixi."
Qiao Xixi snapped back to reality. Feiyan had already dried all the beast-pelt clothes.
"Ahem, put them on."
Qiao Xixi took the clothes. "Thank you."
Feiyan looked at her, a little surprised.
Qiao Xixi’s brow twitched. ’Those fox-like eyes could make a dog look cherished. Whenever I meet his gaze, I get this weird feeling.’
Feiyan was very surprised. She had been so angry just a moment ago, yet now she was thanking him.
Feiyan found Qiao Xixi strange, too. She was different from all the other females he’d ever met. She seemed fierce, but he didn’t really dislike it.
How could Qiao Xixi know what he was thinking? After getting dressed, she started wondering how she could plausibly take food out of her spatial storage in front of Feiyan. She was hungry, and the cubs surely hadn’t eaten in a long time either.
Qiao Xixi glanced to the side and met Feiyan’s intense, fox-like gaze. Her heart skipped a beat, and she shot him another annoyed glare.
Watching their father’s dazed expression, Qiao Ang and Qiao Qiao scrunched up their faces in a grimace.
"Father, do we have anything to eat?"
Qiao Qiao’s words brought Feiyan back to his senses. "There’s a river up ahead. I’ll go catch some fish-beasts."
Qiao Qiao’s big, pretty eyes darted around before she ran up to Feiyan. "I want to go with Father."
Qiao Xixi disapproved. "There could be unknown dangers outside. Qiaoqiao, you should wait in the cave with Mother."
"But Mother, Qiaoqiao wants to help Father."
Qiao Qiao gently tugged on Feiyan’s finger, signaling for him to back her up.
But Feiyan simply took her small hand and led her over to Qiao Xixi. "Be good. Wait for Father to come back."
Qiao Qiao quickly winked at Qiao Ang.
Qiao Ang froze for a second, then quickly understood. "I want to go with Father. I need to learn from Father how to protect Mother and my little sister."
Hearing this, Feiyan swallowed the words he was about to say.
"Alright then."
Qiao Xixi was still a little worried, but Qiao Ang was already trotting happily out of the cave with Feiyan.
The moment the father and son’s figures disappeared outside the cave, Qiao Qiao’s little face fell.
Sensing the cub’s change in mood, Qiao Xixi thought she was still scared and quickly pulled her into a comforting hug.
"What’s wrong? Are you still scared? Don’t be afraid, Mother is here."
"SIGH." The cub sighed.
"Hm?"
"Mother, I think Father is completely useless."
Qiao Xixi: "???"
"Mother, you definitely don’t like males like Father, do you?"
Qiao Xixi looked down and met the cub’s pleading, wide eyes.
’How am I supposed to answer that question?’
Feiyan, who was on his way back to the cave, overheard Qiao Qiao’s words and suddenly stopped in his tracks.
