I Transmigrated as a Villainess to Raise Babies, and My Beast Husbands Are Fighting Madly Over Me!-Chapter 126: The Amethyst’s Energy

Qiao Xixi and the others climbed up the waterfall, passed through the woods, and finally returned to the cave entrance from which they had originally fled.

Jin Ling shifted back into his human form and led Qiao Xixi into the cave.

The cave had been cleaned out, but dark bloodstains still clung to the stone walls, a testament to the fierce battle that had taken place.

Qiao Xixi’s grip on Jin Ling’s hand tightened instinctively.

"How are things in the tribe?"

Jin Ling frowned. "Sunxiao, the Clan Leader, and the others held the line outside the gate. They managed to block most of the Mutant Beasts and stop them from charging into the tribe. There were losses, but nothing too severe."

He paused, then added, "Everything’s fine at home. I’ll take you back first."

Qiao Xixi hummed in agreement.

Even though Jin Ling said the tribe’s losses weren’t severe, Feiyan’s heart sank as he looked at the dried bloodstains on the ground.

"Qiaoqiao, you and the others go back with your mother first. Your father will come find you when he’s finished here."

Sensing Feiyan’s unusual mood, the cubs obediently climbed down from him.

Qiao Xixi went over, picked up the two cubs, and looked at Feiyan. "If you need help, just say the word."

’She’d grown quite fond of the Silver Tribe and didn’t want to see it fall into ruin.’

Feiyan gave her a deep look, nodded, and turned to leave.

"Jin Ling, are Sunxiao and Qiao Lie at home?"

"Yes, they’re home."

"Then let’s hurry back. I can’t wait to see them."

Jin Ling shifted into his beast form and ran with them through the tribe, quickly arriving at their home.

Looking at the smashed courtyard wall, Qiao Xixi suddenly felt that Jin Ling had likely lied to comfort her. The damage to the tribe was probably much worse than he’d let on.

Qiao Xixi rushed into the courtyard and called out anxiously.

"Qiao Lie! Sunxiao!"

Qiao Xixi heard a noise from inside Qiao Lie’s stone house. A moment later, a small figure ran out.

"Mother..."

The little one had barely spoken a word before his large eyes filled with tears.

Qiao Xixi’s heart ached for him. She strode forward, scooped the cub into her arms, and gave him two hard kisses.

"My sweet cub, I’m sorry."

Qiao Lie clung to Qiao Xixi, full of dependence.

"Where’s your father?"

As soon as Qiao Xixi asked, Qiao Lie’s tears could no longer be held back and streamed down his face.

"What is it? Don’t be scared. Mother is back. Everything will be okay."

"Father... he’s been... he’s been in a coma and hasn’t woken up."

Qiao Xixi’s expression changed. Holding Qiao Lie, she went inside and saw Sunxiao lying on the bed, his eyes shut tight.

"What happened?"

"I used the medicine Mother gave me on Father’s wounds, and they’ve healed. But the energy in his body is still draining away."

Jin Ling came up behind Qiao Xixi and said in a low voice, "He killed a star-ranked Mutated Elephant Beast and heavily injured another. If he hadn’t, the tribe’s gate wouldn’t have held. But the toll on his beast soul was too great. We used all the Crystal Stones you gave us, but it still wasn’t enough to replenish his draining energy."

’Sprite, get out here! Tell me, what do I have to do to wake Sunxiao up!’

"Host, don’t you have a purple crystal? Have the cub Qiao Qiao fuse the purple crystal’s energy with her second-rank Healing Skill. That will be the most effective way to repair the holes in Sunxiao’s body. It’s not that he lacks energy; it’s that the holes inside him have grown larger, which is why absorbing Crystal Stones is useless."

Qiao Xixi understood. She quickly took the purple crystal from her spatial storage and called Qiao Qiao to the bedside.

"Qiaoqiao, I need you to fuse the energy of this purple crystal with your Healing Skill and repair the holes inside Father Sunxiao’s body."

Qiao Qiao took the purple crystal and nodded. "Okay."

"Xixi, you all should wait outside."

Qiao Xixi was confused. "Why?"

Jin Ling said, "The purple crystal’s energy is too powerful. You don’t have a beast soul to protect you, so you could get hurt."

Qiao Xixi knew Jin Ling wouldn’t lie to her. She nodded and, carrying Qiao Lie, went outside.

The moment Qiao Qiao touched the purple crystal, she felt a powerful, surging energy envelop her. Every pore on her body seemed to open up and expand.

’This is the power of the highest-grade Crystal Stone. It’s incredible.’

She cupped her hands together, feeling the crystal’s power, then placed it over Sunxiao’s heart.

A blinding purple light burst from inside the house. The aftershock of energy forced Qiao Xixi back several steps, and she only managed to steady herself when Jin Ling caught her by the small of her back.

The purple light faded from strong to weak, lasting for quite some time. Only when the glow had completely dissipated did the door to the stone house open.

Qiao Qiao’s joyful voice came from inside.

"Father Sunxiao, you’re awake!"

Qiao Xixi rushed into the house, her eyes immediately meeting a pair of crimson ones the moment she entered.

Her eyes reddened instantly as she threw her arms around him. "You scared me to death."

Sunxiao felt her soft form in his arms, and the coldness in his eyes gradually faded. He reached out and hugged her and Qiao Lie tightly.

"I was just exhausted. I had a long sleep."

Qiao Xixi bit her lip. "How are you now? Does anywhere feel uncomfortable?"

Sunxiao wanted to say he was still a bit tired because he craved her tenderness. But when he saw her red-rimmed eyes, he suddenly changed his mind. More than receiving her affection, he didn’t want to see her worry.

"Everything’s fine. My body is full of energy."

It wasn’t a lie. He had never felt so full of energy before.

"The purple crystal’s energy really is powerful."

Purple crystal. A dark glint flashed in the depths of Sunxiao’s eyes.

"Mother, I think I ranked up again! I have a 3-star beast soul now!"

Qiao Qiao cheered, showing her fair, tender arm to Qiao Xixi.

Qiao Xixi turned in surprise and saw that there were indeed three stars on the little cub’s arm.

"This purple crystal’s power is incredible..." She turned, pulled up Sunxiao’s hand to look—nine stars! Sunxiao had reached a 9-star beast soul! 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Now that you’re at 9 stars, does this mean your body will be fine as long as you don’t get into any more major battles?" This was what Qiao Xixi cared about most.

"Mhm."

Hearing that, Qiao Xixi let out a sigh of relief.

’No matter what, they were all safe. That was enough.’

DING!

"System Mission: The Host is requested to rebuild the tribe with the cubs. Mission Difficulty: 5 stars."

The sprite’s voice had barely faded when Qiao Xixi heard a familiar voice from the courtyard.

"Xixi? Xixi?"

Qiao Xixi turned and walked out. The moment she saw Gu Man, she grabbed her hand excitedly.

"Gu Man, I’m so glad you’re okay."

Gu Man was happy too, but her brow quickly furrowed. "Xixi, my beastman mate is injured, and it’s not looking good. C-can you ask Qiaoqiao to come and help?"

Qiao Xixi didn’t agree immediately. Instead, she looked back at Qiao Qiao.

"Qiaoqiao, are you willing to go help?"

Qiao Qiao nodded. "I’m willing, Mother. Auntie, let’s go."

"Thank you, Xixi, and you too, Qiaoqiao."
