Chapter 277: She Suddenly Became Quite Formidable
Qiao Xixi looked at the sleeping Sunxiao, too shocked for words.
’She... had actually! She had taken down Sunxiao, too!!!’
’He was a male with two...!’
Qiao Xixi grabbed Sunxiao’s limbs and checked him from top to bottom, making sure he hadn’t suffered any physical problems from... excessive activity.
She also confirmed that Sunxiao had really just fallen asleep from sheer exhaustion!
Qiao Xixi took out a beast hide blanket from her interdimensional space and gently draped it over him. ’I guess we’ll just spend the night here,’ she decided.
She picked up the Jue Skin Clothes and was just about to put them on when the door of the stone house was gently pushed open.
The CREAK of the old door made Qiao Xixi’s entire body tense up.
She looked up to see a slender figure leaning lazily against the doorframe. The cold, clear moonlight washed over him, illuminating the black aura that swirled around him. He looked like a soul-reaper who had climbed out of the abyss.
"Little female, I’ve finally found you."
Qiao Xixi saw a blur, and in the next instant, Sangze was right in front of her.
Sangze glanced at the sleeping Sunxiao. A flicker of confusion crossed his dark eyes, immediately followed by a sneer.
"Little female, that big snake is so useless. How about I play with you tonight?"
Before Qiao Xixi could respond, he had carried her to the other wooden bed.
"Sunxiao will wake up soon..."
"Then let him see just how powerful I am."
"You... Mmph, no, mmph..."
Qiao Xixi had originally thought she wouldn’t be able to last against two such formidable opponents tonight.
But as it turned out, she only grew more invigorated the longer it went on.
In the end, after trying his best to hold on, Sangze collapsed into her arms.
Before closing his eyes, Sangze couldn’t resist nibbling her ear. "Little female, I’ll just rest for a little while... and then we’ll continue..."
Before he could finish, Qiao Xixi heard the sound of his even breathing.
At that moment, the tender sprout in her Spiritual Spring stretched higher and higher, twisting into the shape of a vortex. A red and a black glow poured into the vortex, causing it to spin.
Qiao Xixi felt a wave of scalding heat radiate from her chest, filling her entire body with power.
Since she couldn’t sleep anyway, she decided to lie down and browse the system’s shop.
The little sprite had said that as long as she offered a drop of her blood, she could have any seeds she wanted from the shop.
Qiao Xixi, not caring whether she needed them or not, added all the seeds she had access to in the shop to her cart.
"Hey now, Host! You’re not even sleeping, and you’re cleaning out the shop!"
"Didn’t you say I could have as many as I wanted?"
"But that doesn’t mean you can hoard all the seeds in the shop! What are you going to do with so many, eat them like sunflower seeds?"
"That’s none of your business. You just try backing out on your promise."
"Fine, fine, fine! They’re yours! Take them all!"
After getting all the seeds, Qiao Xixi picked out several kinds suitable for planting this season, set them aside, and then leaned against Sangze and closed her eyes.
Qiao Xixi didn’t sleep for long before she was startled awake by a heartbeat so loud beside her ear she couldn’t ignore it.
She opened her eyes in confusion, only to meet a pair of limpid black eyes.
Qiao Xixi froze for a moment, then gave him a smile. "Morning, Sangze."
Sangze blinked hard, thinking he must be seeing things.
But when he realized he was lying stark naked with Qiao Xixi, his face turned as red as a cooked shrimp, and his eyes became faintly bloodshot.
Qiao Xixi had never seen him act like this and couldn’t resist teasing him.
She leaned closer, her body nearly pressing against his chest.
Through the thin Jue Sha, Qiao Xixi could clearly feel the searing heat of his skin.
Sangze’s heart beat even faster, so fast it felt like it was about to leap out of his throat.
"Xi-Xixi... I... I’m so hot..."
Qiao Xixi chuckled, moving closer and leaning on his shoulder. Her fingertips traced light, teasing patterns over his flat abs.
"Hot, are you? Where is it hot? Shall I blow on it for you?"
Sangze looked completely flustered. "Xixi, I..."
Qiao Xixi’s fingertips slowly trailed lower, and lower still.
"You asked me before if I disliked you, didn’t you? Do you want to know what I’m like when I actually like someone?"
Sangze nodded dazedly. Qiao Xixi lowered her eyes and planted a kiss on his collarbone, right on a faint love bite.
In an instant, Qiao Xixi felt his body go rigid.
Seeing him frozen stiff and hearing footsteps in the distance, Qiao Xixi decided to stop teasing him.
She pulled the beast hide blanket up over him, got out of bed, and put on her clothes.
"Hurry and get up. We’ve been out all night."
Sangze pulled the blanket from his face, a disappointed look on his puppy-dog face.
"Oh."
As the two of them emerged from the stone house, they saw Sunxiao walking toward them.
"Sunxiao, when did you wake up?"
His crimson, serpentine eyes flashed with a complicated emotion upon seeing Qiao Xixi, but he quickly regained his usual composure.
"I woke up at dawn. I’ll take you back to the inner city, then go hunt with the Hunting Team."
"If you need to go hunting, you can just go. Sangze will take me back."
Sunxiao thought for a moment, then nodded. "Alright."
As Sunxiao was leaving, he took out a few pieces of fruit and handed them to Qiao Xixi—the same ones she had given him yesterday.
Worried that Qiao Xixi was tired, Sangze transformed into his beast form and carried her back to the inner city.
However, just as they arrived outside the inner city gate, they saw the cubs lining up to receive food.
After swallowing a piece of the fruit, Qiao Xixi signaled for Sangze to stop.
"Xixi, aren’t you going back?"
"Wait. I’ll go back after I distribute the meat to them."
"Alright, I’ll stay with you."
The cubs cheered with delight when they saw Qiao Xixi arrive.
"Clan Leader! Clan Leader!"
Looking at the chattering cubs, Qiao Xixi felt happy too. They all looked much more energetic than before.
"Everyone line up just like yesterday. Every little cub will get some meat."
"Okay!"
The cubs all obediently lined up for their meat.
When she got to the last one in line, Qiao Xixi saw it was Yuyu.
"Yuyu, did you finish all of your meat from yesterday?"
Yuyu smiled shyly. "I ate more than half of it. I saved the rest."
"Here, have this fruit."
Yuyu took the fruit in delighted surprise. ’The Clan Leader is so wonderful,’ he thought, ’caring about an abandoned cub like me.’
"Clan Leader, there’s something I want to tell you."
"What is it?"
Yuyu told Qiao Xixi about seeing the Golden Eagle Beast during the night.
After hearing him out, Qiao Xixi understood what was going on.
"You did a good thing. If you see anything like this again, you can always come and tell me, alright? But you’re still little, so don’t ever follow them. It’s very dangerous."
"Okay, I’ll listen to whatever the Clan Leader says."
"Go on, then."
After Yuyu scampered off, Qiao Xixi’s expression gradually darkened. It seemed Tiger Beast City was still sending beastmen to spy on the Black Panther Tribe.
’That means Jin Wei will soon know that we’ve returned to the Black Panther Tribe.’
Recalling the great battle from before, Qiao Xixi turned to Sangze and said, "Sangze, take me to Feili Father Beast."
"Alright."
