I Transmigrated as a Villainess to Raise Babies, and My Beast Husbands Are Fighting Madly Over Me!-Chapter 59: Are You Going to Abandon Him?

Just as he was about to dodge, Sunxiao saw a slender figure lunging toward him.

Her crystal-clear, azure eyes were filled with worry and fear.

Something slammed violently against the hard walls around Sunxiao’s heart once more, cracking them open and letting a ray of warmth slip through.

Qiao Xixi threw herself forward, wrapping her arms around Sunxiao’s enormous serpentine body.

"Use the Instant Teleportation Card!"

BOOM!

Taige’s fist came crashing down, smashing a massive crater into the ground.

Sunxiao’s figure reappeared inside the open city gates.

This sudden turn of events left both Taige and Hei Zong’s forces, who were watching the situation, stunned in place.

The speed at which Sunxiao had just vanished was beyond their imagination.

Sunxiao landed, his crimson snake eyes fixed on Qiao Xixi.

Qiao Xixi felt like her heart was about to leap out of her throat.

Her arms went limp, and just as she was about to fall, his massive snake tail caught her and gently set her down on the ground.

With pale lips, Qiao Xixi turned to look at Qiao Lie.

’My cub is okay. That scared me to death.’

Sunxiao could see she was badly frightened, and he gently nudged her waist with his tail.

But he didn’t gauge his strength correctly, and the nudge sent Qiao Xixi stumbling to the ground.

"Ouch."

Qiao Xixi glared at him, annoyed.

’I just saved his life, and this is how he repays me!’

Sunxiao, seemingly oblivious to the anger in her eyes, lowered Qiao Lie from his body.

"Wait here."

After speaking, he swiftly slithered back outside, slamming the city gates shut with a flick of his long tail.

Outside the gates, bloodcurdling screams pierced the sky.

Qiao Xixi snapped back to her senses and quickly scooped up Qiao Lie.

"Little Sprite, find me a way out of here, quickly."

"Host, you want to leave Demon Beast City now?"

"Yes, while we have the chance."

"Host, are you sure you want to abandon Qiao Lie’s father?"

Qiao Xixi barely stopped herself from cursing out loud.

"Watch your wording. What do you mean, ’abandon’? Didn’t you see the way he looked at me, like he wanted to murder me? Now hurry up."

"Er... okay then."

"Demon Beast City has a back gate. There are no demon beasts guarding it right now. Host can leave from there."

"Good."

Without a moment’s delay, Qiao Xixi took off running with Qiao Lie in her arms.

Qiao Lie rested in Qiao Xixi’s arms, but his gaze was locked on the closed city gates.

’He’s so powerful... he won’t be killed by the demon beasts, right...?’

As Qiao Xixi ran past the stone house where he had lived with Sunxiao, Qiao Lie spoke softly.

"Mother, where are we going?"

Qiao Xixi didn’t break her stride.

"We’re taking this chance to get out of here and find Jin Ling and the others, of course."

The crimson snake eyes dimmed slightly.

"Oh. Okay."

Qiao Xixi, focused only on escaping with her life, didn’t notice her cub’s spirits falling.

"Host, the back gate is just ahead."

’Almost there.’

Qiao Xixi ran to the back gate, but just as she was about to open it, a large hand reached out and clamped down on the door.

Qiao Xixi’s heart leaped in shock. She turned her head, stunned.

"Witch Doctor, where are you going?"

It was Hei Lun.

Qiao Xixi feigned composure, reaching behind her back to take out the Dull Liquid.

"I’m scared. I was trying to find a place to hide."

Hei Lun sneered.

"I can take the Witch Doctor to a safe place."

With that, he reached out to grab Qiao Xixi.

Qiao Xixi pulled out the Dull Liquid and sprayed it at him.

Hei Lun seemed to have been prepared. As Qiao Xixi moved, he had already retreated quickly.

In the opening created by his dodge, Qiao Xixi opened the back gate and ran out.

But as soon as she got outside, she saw a squad of demon beasts guarding the exit, glaring at her like predators.

Qiao Xixi couldn’t help but curse.

"This is the escape route you picked for me?!"

The Little Sprite sounded guilty.

"I was only looking at the route, I didn’t notice there were demon beasts here... Hehehe."

Qiao Xixi didn’t think the little bit of Dull Liquid she had would be enough to handle so many demon beasts.

But she wasn’t willing to give up this chance to escape either.

Her expression unchanged, Qiao Xixi turned and went back inside the city walls.

Seeing her return, Hei Lun let out a sinister laugh and tried to snatch Qiao Lie.

But as soon as his hand got close, he felt the power from Sunxiao’s snake scale.

He stared at Qiao Lie, his gaze searching.

"You’re Sunxiao’s cub. So he really does have a cub."

Qiao Lie bared his fangs at him.

Hei Lun laughed and held out a hand toward Qiao Xixi.

"Are you going to hand him over obediently, or do I have to take him myself?"

A look of terror appeared on Qiao Xixi’s face. "Y-you, don’t come any closer."

Hei Lun snorted and lunged for Qiao Lie.

Qiao Xixi once again sprayed the Dull Liquid at him.

This time, Hei Lun couldn’t dodge and was sprayed head-on.

Watching his movements slow to a crawl, Qiao Xixi let out a cold laugh and slapped him hard across the face.

Hei Lun’s face turned black with rage.

The demon beasts guarding the gate didn’t come in. Their duty was only to guard the gate; as long as Qiao Xixi didn’t leave, they wouldn’t do anything to her.

"You... fine. You’re... dead!"

Qiao Xixi slapped him again.

"Qiao Lie, give me your snake scale."

Qiao Lie handed the snake scale to Qiao Xixi.

Qiao Xixi glared at Hei Lun coldly.

"If it weren’t for a dog like you, I wouldn’t be separated from my cub and my beastman husband! Go to hell!"

Qiao Xixi raised the snake scale and slashed at Hei Lun’s neck.

Just as the scale was about to hit Hei Lun, a figure rushed over and grabbed Qiao Xixi’s hand.

"Witch Doctor, what are you doing? The City Lord and the others are back and they’re looking for you everywhere."

The Wild Bull Demon Beast gave Qiao Xixi a strange look. Hei Lun was one of Hei Zong’s trusted generals; not even Qiao Xixi could kill him so easily.

Qiao Xixi glanced at the demon beasts following the Wild Bull Demon Beast and knew she had lost her chance to kill Hei Lun and escape.

Her expression unchanging, she retracted her hand and placed the snake scale back in Qiao Lie’s.

"Don’t be nervous. I just saw that he wasn’t looking well and thought I’d let some blood to treat him. But if you don’t think it’s necessary, then never mind."

Hei Lun glared icily at Qiao Xixi’s departing back.

Qiao Xixi hadn’t expected the great battle to end so quickly.

Thanks to a final, retaliatory counterattack from Sunxiao, Hei Zong and his forces had driven off the demon beast army led by Taige, which had already advanced to the city walls.

But although Hei Zong had won, he was also injured.

However, Qiao Xixi wasn’t taken to Hei Zong. Instead, she was sent to Sunxiao’s stone house.

The Wild Bull Demon Beast even brought over all of Qiao Xixi’s belongings.

Though it was only a few beast-hide outfits that Hei Zong had prepared for her.

"Why did you bring my things here?"

The Wild Bull Demon Beast said, "From now on, the Witch Doctor will be living with Lord Sunxiao."

"What?"

"If the Witch Doctor needs anything else, just let me know."

Qiao Xixi glanced at Qiao Lie. Living here meant she could stay by her cub’s side, so she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

"I understand."

The Wild Bull Demon Beast turned and left the house.

Qiao Lie suddenly scrambled down from Qiao Xixi’s arms and ran upstairs.

He had smelled the thick scent of blood the moment he entered.

He recognized it as the smell of Sunxiao’s blood.

Puzzled, Qiao Xixi followed him upstairs. When she entered the room, the sight before her left her stunned.
