I Transmigrated as a Villainess to Raise Babies, and My Beast Husbands Are Fighting Madly Over Me!-Chapter 31: Is Jin Ling That Scary?

The little spirit had said that while the Healing Skill from a one-star beast soul couldn’t regenerate a severed limb,

it could heal a wound that had been sutured.

As long as she sewed Baobao’s severed leg back on, Qiao Qiao could still use her skill to help him recover.

After Qiao Xixi had nearly finished suturing, Qiao Qiao used her skill to treat the wound.

The once-ghastly wound began to heal rapidly under the skill’s power.

Seeing that Qiaoqiao’s face had grown pale, Qiao Xixi quickly said, "Qiaoqiao, that’s about enough. We can stop now."

Qiaoqiao nodded, released her hand, and collapsed weakly into Qiao Xixi’s arms.

Qiao Xixi picked her up.

Mi Ning impatiently broke free from her beastman mate and rushed forward to check.

Suddenly, she let out a grief-stricken cry.

"Baobao!"

A triumphant smile flashed in Mi Li’s eyes.

"Shaman, what are you waiting for? This Wandering Beast killed Baobao! Hurry up and arrest them."

The Shaman’s expression was incredibly grim.

"Mommy..."

Before the Shaman could speak, Baobao’s weak voice was heard.

Mi Ning’s eyes flew open in shock, filled with disbelief.

"Baobao, how are you? Baobao."

Baobao sat up in bed and wiggled his injured leg, asking in surprise, "Wasn’t my leg severed? How did it grow back?"

The Shaman strode forward to examine Baobao’s leg.

Although there was a row of unsightly suture marks on the leg, it could indeed move.

The Shaman couldn’t hide his shock.

"You... how did you do that?"

Qiao Xixi sat down on a stone stool. "Weren’t you all watching just now?"

The Shaman frowned. He had indeed seen Qiao Xixi sew Baobao’s leg back on.

But just sewing it back on couldn’t possibly have allowed Baobao to recover.

"Shaman, shouldn’t you be fulfilling your promise?"

With a solemn expression, the Shaman had the white cat cubs who had bullied Qiao Xixi’s children come forward and formally apologize to her.

He also said with great sincerity, "Rest assured, I will absolutely keep my word."

Qiao Xixi didn’t respond. She picked up Qiao Lie and Qiao Qiao and walked toward the door.

"Then let’s do it tomorrow."

With that, she left without a backward glance.

Now, all the onlooking beastmen stared at her retreating figure in utter shock.

Seeing Qiao Xixi leave, Mi Li huffed unhappily.

After Qiao Xixi left, the Shaman dismissed the other beastmen.

He then left with Hong Xi.

As soon as they returned to the stone house, the Shaman began pacing back and forth with his hands clasped behind him, so excited that the feathers on his head bobbed with every step.

"I have never seen such a capable female, Hong Xi."

The Shaman grabbed Hong Xi’s hand.

Hong Xi still hadn’t recovered from his earlier shock.

"Father, are you really going to make her a priestess? The Clan Leader isn’t even back yet."

The Shaman looked at Hong Xi and said seriously, "If he knew of Qiao Xixi’s abilities, he would agree with my decision."

"Now, I have something even more important to discuss with you."

"What is it, Father?"

"Hong Xi, I want you to become Qiao Xixi’s beastman mate."

For some reason, Hong Xi’s mind suddenly conjured an image of Qiao Xixi’s fair, beautiful, yet resilient face.

He, too, had never met a female like her.

"You becoming her mate will be crucial for the growth and prosperity of our tribe. Do you understand what I mean?"

One of the main reasons they were just a small tribe was the scarcity of powerful male beastmen.

They’d had several beastmen with Three-Star Beast Souls before, but they were killed by ferocious beasts during hunts.

If they could keep Qiao Xixi here and have her use her skills to treat their injured beastmen, their combat losses would be greatly reduced.

"From what I can see, that Golden Tiger Beast isn’t her mate yet. And even if he were, it would be a good thing for your household to have an expert with a five-star beast soul. You should get along well with him."

Hong Xi frowned as he recalled the way Qiao Xixi and Jin Ling interacted. He suddenly found the male Golden Tiger to be an eyesore.

"I understand, Father. I will treat her well."

"Mm."

"Go and send out a notice. Tell all the beastmen to gather in the square tomorrow."

"Yes."

...

After returning to the stone house carrying the two cubs, Qiao Xixi put them on the bed and tucked them in.

Just as she stepped out of the stone house, she saw Jin Ling returning, carrying Qiao Ang.

"Xixi, I found Qiao Ang. Did you find Qiao Lie?"

Qiao Xixi grew worried as she looked at the exhausted cub draped over Jin Ling’s shoulder.

"I found him. He’s sleeping inside now. What happened to Qiao Ang?"

Jin Ling said, "He went all the way downstream along the creek, looking for the wooden bucket."

What Jin Ling didn’t mention was that Qiao Ang had been swept into the rapids. If not for a low-hanging branch he had clung to for dear life, he would have been washed away.

Qiao Xixi quickly took Qiao Ang into her arms.

"As long as you’re okay. You need to be more careful next time you go near the creek."

Resting against Qiao Xixi, Qiao Ang whimpered, "Those white cat cubs snatched our bucket."

Qiao Ang explained that they had been fetching water by the creek when a few white cat cubs came over, snatched their bucket, and ran off.

He and Qiao Lie had split up to give chase. Just as he was about to catch one, the white cat cub threw the bucket into the creek, and he jumped in after it.

Listening to Qiao Ang’s story, the anger Qiao Xixi had just suppressed flared up again.

’The conditions I set were far too lenient on them!’

"What’s wrong? Did something happen?"

Jin Ling could clearly sense that something was wrong with Qiao Xixi’s mood.

Only after carrying Qiao Ang into the house did Qiao Xixi tell Jin Ling what had happened earlier.

Jin Ling’s expression remained unchanged, but a deep gloom filled his gilded eyes.

"If you want to leave, we can go first thing tomorrow morning."

It wasn’t that Qiao Xixi hadn’t considered this option.

’But if we go to another tribe, will the beastmen there not shun us just as they do in the Black Stone Tribe?’

"Even if we leave, I’m going to secure the title of priestess first."

’In the future, no matter where we go, having this status will make others more wary of us.’

「At night.」

Jin Ling stood outside the stone house, listening to the steady breathing of Qiao Xixi and the cubs.

After a moment, he silently departed from the stone house.

Just as he stepped into the woods, Hong Xi appeared, walking toward him.

Hong Xi wasn’t sure why he couldn’t sleep tonight, or what had drawn him toward Qiao Xixi’s home.

Their eyes met.

Hong Xi clearly felt the oppressive aura radiating from Jin Ling.

"Those white cat cubs who bullied Qiao Lie... whose families do they belong to?" Jin Ling asked, his voice chillingly calm.

An ominous feeling rose in Hong Xi’s heart.

"What are you planning to do?"

In the darkness, Jin Ling extended his sharp claws.

"Tell me now, and I’ll spare their lives."

The color drained from Hong Xi’s face.

"Are you insane? You’re going to harm females and cubs?"

Jin Ling’s gaze remained unchanged, growing only deeper and more profound.

A cold wind swept past, and a current of golden electricity shot into Hong Xi’s body.

Hong Xi cried out in pain and collapsed to his knees.

Jin Ling planted his foot on Hong Xi’s shoulder.

"Call out all the males from their families."

The corners of Hong Xi’s mouth twitched from the pain as he gritted his teeth.

...

Qiao Xixi slept very soundly, and by the time she woke up, the sun was already up.

She got up and went outside, where she saw Jin Ling sitting on a stone stool, tending a fire.

Hearing the movement, Jin Ling turned to look at her, a gentle smile in his eyes.

"You’re awake. I’ve already prepared some water for you. Go wash up."

"Mm. Jin Ling, when did you get up?"

"Just now."

Qiao Xixi didn’t believe him. ’There’s no way the water could have gotten this hot so quickly.’

After washing her face and coming back out, Qiao Xixi saw a male white cat beastman talking to Jin Ling.

As she drew closer, she saw that the male beastman’s face was black and blue, with one side completely swollen.

He seemed terrified of Jin Ling, not even daring to meet his eyes.

Qiao Xixi was bewildered.

’Is Jin Ling that intimidating?’

’It’s not like Jin Ling was the one who beat him up.’
