I Transmigrated as a Villainess to Raise Babies, and My Beast Husbands Are Fighting Madly Over Me!-Chapter 60: Will You Save Him, Please?

"Father!"

Qiao Lie was leaning against the bed, his eyes red-rimmed.

Qiao Xixi hadn’t expected Sunxiao to be so badly injured.

The crimson beast-hide clothes he wore concealed the color of the blood, but it dripped continuously from the hem.

Sunxiao’s skin was already fair, but now, from excessive blood loss, his lips had paled to the point of being almost transparent.

Sunxiao had helped Hei Zong defend Demon Beast City, after all. Had Hei Zong not even found a witch doctor for him?

’No, wait.’

’I’m the witch doctor of Demon Beast City now.’

’So, is this why Hei Zong had me come live here?’

"Mother, please save him, okay?"

Qiao Lie turned and gripped the corner of Qiao Xixi’s clothes tightly.

Qiao Xixi had never seen him like this before, and her heart ached for him.

"Don’t be afraid. Mother will take a look at him."

Qiao Lie let go of Qiao Xixi and returned to the bedside.

To get a better look at his injuries, Qiao Xixi had no choice but to remove his beast-hide clothes.

A body that should have been full of temptation was now stained red with blood.

There were large gashes on his chest and thigh, both still gushing blood.

’System, for an injury this severe, is Spiritual Spring water enough?’

"It’s enough, but because his injuries are so severe, the wounds will likely heal more slowly with just Spiritual Spring water. If you also apply some Recovery Glue, the effect will be much better."

"Recovery Glue?"

As Qiao Xixi communicated with her system in her mind, she had already taken out Spiritual Spring water from her space and was feeding it to Sunxiao.

Afterward, she used more Spiritual Spring water to wash his wounds and stop the bleeding.

"Recovery Glue is a medicine that helps wounds rapidly regenerate tissue. One tube is 10 points."

Qiao Xixi frowned, feeling the sting.

If she bought it, her points would be wiped out again.

But then she saw Qiao Lie’s pitiful expression as he held back his tears. ’Oh, well,’ she thought. ’I’ll just consider it a price to pay for soothing the cub.’

"I’ll exchange for one tube of Recovery Glue."

"Right away."

The tube of Recovery Glue was very small, but the system had said that even a small amount would be very effective.

After cleaning Sunxiao’s wounds, Qiao Xixi spread a little less than half the tube of Recovery Glue on the two largest gashes.

She had to admit, the effect of the Recovery Glue was truly amazing. As soon as she applied it, the wounds already looked like they were beginning to grow new flesh.

When Sunxiao’s consciousness returned, he could feel someone carefully tending to his wounds.

He frowned instinctively. He didn’t like being touched by unfamiliar beastmen, not even witch doctors.

Besides, a witch doctor from Demon Beast City would never be this gentle, as if they were afraid of hurting him.

Sunxiao sneered inwardly. ’No beastman would ever treat a powerful, cold-blooded snake beastman with gentleness.’

A faint, warm breeze blew gently across his wounds. Strangely, Sunxiao realized they no longer hurt.

’I must be so badly injured that I’m hallucinating,’ he thought.

"Mother, Father isn’t going to die, is he?"

The childish voice made Sunxiao’s breath catch.

’It’s my cub.’

’My cub’s voice is filled with anxiety. Is he worried about me, his father?’

"Don’t worry. Mother is very capable. She can definitely heal your father."

’It’s her...’

Sunxiao slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was Qiao Xixi’s face as she gently blew on his wound.

’It wasn’t a dream.’

As if sensing Sunxiao’s gaze, Qiao Xixi tilted her head and looked at him.

Having just woken up, Sunxiao seemed a little softer than usual. The icy aura between his brows had faded considerably, and his eyes held a hint of astonishment.

’He actually looks a bit silly.’

"You’re awake. I’ve already treated your wounds. Since they’re quite severe, it will take time to recover, so you should just lie down and rest for the next few days."

Sunxiao stared at her.

"Are you worried about me?"

Qiao Xixi raised an eyebrow. "I am."

’I’m a witch doctor now, and he’s my patient. It’s perfectly normal to care for a patient.’

Sunxiao lowered his gaze, his thoughts unreadable.

Qiao Xixi pulled the beast-hide blanket up over him.

She hadn’t paid attention while treating him, but now that she was done, she realized he had been completely naked.

’How embarrassing.’

But she had to admit, Sunxiao’s physique... ahem, was quite excellent in all aspects.

"You should get some rest. Starting today, Qiao Lie and I will be living next door. Just call out if you need anything."

Sunxiao looked up. "You’ll be living here from now on?"

"Yes, I’ll be living here from now on."

Sunxiao grunted in acknowledgment, a faint hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.

"Mother, will Father get better soon?"

The little cub still looked worried.

"Of course. Don’t worry. Are you hungry? Mother will make you some roasted meat."

Qiao Lie nodded. "I’ll help."

"Okay."

Qiao Lie mentioned that there was a small courtyard behind the stone house with an empty room. It had some firewood but no pots or a stove.

Demon beasts ate their food raw; they didn’t know how to cook at all.

Qiao Xixi took out a pot, some red fruits, and Salt Crystals from her storage space.

After going outside with Qiao Lie to bring back some stones, she built a simple stove.

Qiao Xixi started a fire and heated the pot.

Qiao Lie brought over all the beast meat that had been delivered the day before.

After rendering the fat from a piece of fatty meat, Qiao Xixi tossed in the sliced red fruits and stir-fried them.

Once the red fruits released their juices, she added Spiritual Spring water to the pot.

After the soup came to a boil, she put in the slices of raw meat and sprinkled in the Salt Crystals.

Qiao Xixi took a sniff, and the tempting aroma made her stomach growl.

She hadn’t had a proper meal since her encounter with the demon beasts.

She ladled out the meat stew and gave a bowl to Qiao Lie.

"I don’t know if your father eats cooked food. Why don’t you take this to him and ask?"

Qiao Lie nodded and, very diligently, carried the bowl upstairs.

Meanwhile, Qiao Xixi brought the pot to the dining table on the first floor and waited for Qiao Lie to come down and eat.

Qiao Lie carried the bowl to Sunxiao’s bedside.

"Time to eat."

Sunxiao frowned as he looked at the reddish mush in the bowl.

"What is this?"

"This is red fruit stew made by Mother. It’s delicious."

As if afraid he wouldn’t believe him, Qiao Lie picked up a piece of meat, blew on it, and ate it.

Sunxiao was a little surprised. For a Wandering Beast, Qiao Xixi actually knew how to cook with fire.

But then he remembered how she had managed to stop his bleeding and start healing his wounds in such a short time, and it no longer seemed so strange.

Sunxiao took the bowl, picked up a piece of meat, and put it in his mouth.

The rich stew only contained Salt Crystals, but to Sunxiao, it was incredibly delicious.

He quickly finished the entire bowl of stew.

Seeing that he had eaten it all, Qiao Lie happily ladled him another bowl.

Sunxiao ate several bowls in a row before Qiao Xixi had Qiao Lie bring some raw meat up to him.

Adult males ate raw meat every day. A few bowls of stew weren’t nearly enough to fill them up.

"Qiao Lie, come and eat too."

"Okay."

Qiao Lie walked over to Qiao Xixi, sat down, and began to eat the stew with big mouthfuls.

Only after eating several bowls did he set his bowl down, satisfied.

"DING."

"A limited-time mission has been assigned: Guide the cub, Qiao Lie, to find the blue crystal of Demon Beast City. Mission Difficulty: Four Stars."

Qiao Xixi paused, calculating in her mind.
