Chapter 276: Give Up Resistance
Gu Man pulled her to the side and glanced at Sangze. "Be honest with me. When did you meet that leopard? How come his cub is bigger than Qiao Ang and the others? And also..."
Her gaze shifted, and she pointed at Xiya playing in the courtyard. "Is that a mermaid cub? Oh my Beast God, Qiao Xixi, you even managed to get a mermaid! You’re really something else!"
Qiao Xixi was speechless.
’Gossip really is a fundamental part of nature. It’s the same in every world!’
"You want to know?"
Gu Man’s eyes were filled with a thirst for knowledge; she looked like she wanted to press her ear right up against Qiao Xixi’s mouth.
"I’m not telling you!"
Gu Man froze for a moment, then quickly recovered.
"Why you, Qiao Xixi! How dare you tease me."
While Qiao Xixi and Gu Man were laughing and joking around, Jin Ling and the others quickly finished preparing the meal.
Feili was a master of timing, returning with Qiao Ang and Qiao Qiao just as the food was being served.
He took two deep sniffs of the air. "It smells so good! Xixi, are you all about to eat?"
"Yes, Feili Father Beast. We cooked your share too. Come and sit down."
Feili chuckled without reservation, taking the two little ones to wash their hands before sitting down at the table.
Their family was already large to begin with. With the addition of Gu Man, Feili, and the others, the long wooden table was quickly filled.
Qiao Xixi had just picked up her chopsticks when her bowl was instantly piled high with meat.
Several of the males’ eyes were fixed on her. To make matters worse, each had given her a different piece of meat, creating a headache-inducing dilemma of which one to eat first.
As if she’d made up her mind, Qiao Xixi let out a breath, buried her face in her bowl, and shoveled all the meat into her mouth.
"Mmph, mmph... delicious, so delicious." The moment she swallowed, quick as a flash, she placed a piece of meat into each of the males’ bowls.
"Eat up! Don’t just stare."
Feiyan glanced at the meat in his bowl, then at the meat in Sangze’s bowl, and grumbled, "Why does my piece look smaller than theirs?"
Qiao Xixi almost choked.
Jin Ling calmly picked up his piece of meat and ate it. "You can only blame yourself for that. Your cuts were uneven."
Feiyan’s eyes widened. "Just keep showing off, Jin Ling! Don’t think I don’t know you got the biggest piece in your bowl."
As soon as Feiyan finished speaking, a large piece of meat appeared in his bowl. He turned to see Qiao Qiao grinning as she placed it there.
"Father Beast, just eat it!"
"You’re truly my good little cub."
"How has your Father Beast made no progress at all this whole time?"
"Grandfather, Father Beast has made progress. Before, he didn’t even know to give Mother food."
Qiao Xixi held her bowl and buried her face in her food, pretending she couldn’t hear the hushed conversation between Qiao Ang and Feili, and pretending she couldn’t see Feiyan’s mournful gaze.
’This is why you shouldn’t have too many beastmen mates. It really is a handful!’
After they finished eating, the sky was growing dark.
Gu Man’s family left first.
"Feili Father Beast, why don’t you stay here in the inner city?"
Feili shook his head. "No, I’m more used to living with my clansmen. If you need anything, just send someone to find me."
"Okay."
Feili called Feiyan over to walk him out, apparently having something he wanted to tell him privately.
"Xixi, the hot water is ready. You go wash up first," Jin Ling said, walking out of the bathing room.
"Okay."
Qiao Xixi picked up the sleepy tiger cub and went into the bathing room.
In the sky, unnoticed by Qiao Xixi and the others, two Golden Eagle Beasts flew swiftly over the tribe.
Perched on a tree branch, Yuyu sensed the presence of the Golden Eagle Beasts. He quickly scrambled to the very top of the tree to watch them.
Yuyu frowned. These two Golden Eagle Beasts had appeared after most of the beastmen left the tribe. They flew back and forth over the area, as if patrolling their own territory.
At first, he had been scared, worried they might snatch him away. But recently, they had only flown around as if on patrol. After the Clan Leader and the others returned, the beasts seemed to disappear for a few days, but now they were back.
Just as Yuyu was about to follow them for a closer look, he realized the two Golden Eagle Beasts had vanished.
What Yuyu didn’t know was that after crossing over the tribe, the two Golden Eagle Beasts had flown to the mountains.
Inside a hidden mountain cave, several White Tiger Males were waiting.
Seeing the Golden Eagle Beasts return, one of the White Tiger Males stepped forward and exchanged a few quiet words with them. Only after they finished did the White Tiger Male return to the others.
"Judging by the numbers, it’s at least a medium-sized tribe. They’re really lucky to have filled their ranks with beastmen from another medium-sized tribe. If that’s the case, wasn’t the City Lord’s work for nothing? He took in so many useless beastmen."
"Let’s send the news back to the City Lord first and see what he plans to do."
"Mm."
「Inside the inner city.」
Qiao Xixi finished washing up. After carrying the tiger cub into the room, she planned to go check on the other cubs.
But just as she reached the door, she was swept away by a cool gust of wind.
She let out a small cry. Recognizing his familiar scent, she instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.
But before he could carry her into the room, a swirl of black mist swept in, blocking their path.
"Big Snake, you’re being quite domineering."
Sunxiao’s serpentine eyes darkened. Holding Qiao Xixi, he spun around and headed downstairs.
Sangze sneered. "On such a lonely night, I can’t possibly be without the little female’s company."
Hearing the commotion, Feiyan also hurried out of his room. The moment he stepped outside, he saw Jin Ling already standing on the veranda.
’Well, what do you know. Turns out I wasn’t the only one hoping to swoop in.’
"Jin Ling, Sangze said it was your turn last night. Are you trying to take tonight too?"
Jin Ling’s expression was serene, and he appeared perfectly gentle, but his gilded eyes shone with an exceptional brightness in the dark.
"I have always respected Xixi’s choice."
Feiyan scoffed. "Yeah, right!"
A flash of red light streaked past, and Sunxiao’s long tail struck the black mist.
Sangze was knocked to the ground with a THUD. Before he could get up, Sunxiao had already vanished into the darkness with Qiao Xixi.
Qiao Xixi could only feel the night wind rushing past her ears, and her hands clutching Sunxiao tightened involuntarily.
"Sunxiao, where are we going?"
"To a place where no one can bother us."
Qiao Xixi was brought to an empty stone house.
The house must have been in a rather remote location, as none of the beastmen who came to settle in the tribe had chosen it.
Before Qiao Xixi could get a clear look at the room’s interior, she felt a cool sensation on her lips.
She let out a soft gasp, but he forcefully gripped the back of her head and conquered her lips.
「The night grew deeper.」
Meanwhile, a cloud of black mist was darting all over the tribe.
Sunxiao had her wrap herself around his waist, letting her sink, little by little, into his aura.
At the height of their passion, Qiao Xixi subconsciously gripped his shoulders. Her lips parted, and her soft moans were completely devoured by his, as they sank into ecstasy together.
Several times, Sunxiao nearly lost control of himself.
