I Transmigrated as a Villainess to Raise Babies, and My Beast Husbands Are Fighting Madly Over Me!-Chapter 62: The Female Mother Won’t Want You Like This

Chapter 62: Chapter 62: The Female Mother Won’t Want You Like This

A wave of irritation rose in Sunxiao’s heart when he heard Qiao Xixi say she had a beast husband.

"Don’t worry. Even though Qiao Lie is your cub, I definitely won’t force you to become my beast husband."

Sunxiao’s eyes darkened. "You don’t want me to be your beast husband?"

Huh.

’Why does it feel like we’re talking past each other?’

Qiao Xixi looked at him, confused.

"You aren’t planning to force yourself to become my beast husband just so it’s more convenient to take care of Qiao Lie, are you?"

At this thought, Qiao Xixi waved her hands dismissively.

"No, no! Someone as powerful as you shouldn’t have to lower themselves like that."

Sunxiao saw through her. Everything Qiao Xixi had said before was a lie.

His long legs instantly transformed into a snake tail that coiled around her, pulling her before him.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

Their eyes locked. His icy breath washed over her face.

"You said before that you liked me a lot."

Meeting his gaze, which held a veiled threat, Qiao Xixi didn’t dare admit she had just been making it all up.

"Th-that was just my own crush! It has nothing to do with you."

Sunxiao suddenly pressed his forehead to hers, his voice so low only Qiao Xixi could hear it.

"If you lie to me, I’ll..."

Before he could finish, Qiao Xixi cut in.

"I’m not! I’m absolutely not! I like you a lot! If I didn’t, I would have found a way to leave Demon Beast City yesterday, right?"

The icy chill emanating from Sunxiao instantly subsided.

"You’d better be telling the truth."

Qiao Xixi nodded.

"It’s true. More genuine than pure gold."

Only then did Sunxiao put her down.

’A moment ago, he’d actually wanted to say that if she lied to him, he would never let her leave his side.’

But with her confirmation, the knot of irritation in his chest suddenly loosened.

Once free, Qiao Xixi quickly made an excuse and scurried away.

’In some ways,’ she thought, ’Sunxiao is even more dangerous than the other demon beasts in Demon Beast City.’

Just as Sunxiao was about to lie down, he caught his cub giving him a disdainful look.

Qiao Lie walked up to the bed, his little face stern, and stared at him.

"If you want to be Mother’s beast husband, this isn’t the way to do it."

Sunxiao watched his cub without a word, apparently waiting for him to continue.

"The Big Male knows much more than you do."

Sunxiao frowned. "Her only beast husband?"

"That’s right. If you do worse than the Big Male, Mother definitely won’t want you."

Sunxiao’s brow furrowed even more deeply.

"She wouldn’t dare."

Qiao Lie’s expression grew even more disdainful.

"The Big Male is never this harsh with Mother. You... you’re too mean."

Just as Qiao Lie thought Sunxiao wasn’t listening, the man suddenly spoke.

His voice was laced with an undeniable frustration.

"Then what should I do?"

Qiao Lie coughed lightly.

"First, you need to fix your attitude. When you talk to Mother, you have to be gentle..."

Little did Qiao Xixi know, her own cub was teaching his father how to woo her.

After leaving Sunxiao’s room, she went down to the first floor. She planned to find a chance to check on the path to the secret room, lest she be duped by that little imp again.

Just as Qiao Xixi stepped outside, the Wild Bull Demon Beast who had been guarding out of sight emerged.

’She knew demon beasts were always guarding the house; they just stayed hidden unless someone was leaving.’

"Witch Doctor, why are you out? Do you need something?"

An idea struck Qiao Xixi. She nodded and said, "Sunxiao is in a very dangerous condition. I need a few herbs. I wonder if you have them here?"

"You can tell me what you need. I’ll go ask the Sangji Witch Doctor if he has them."

"Why don’t you take me there yourself?"

The Wild Bull Demon Beast thought for a moment before nodding in agreement.

Not long after Qiao Xixi left, Hei Lun arrived outside the stone house.

Sensing Hei Lun’s presence, Sunxiao shot up in bed.

"Qiao Lie."

He called out, but there was no response.

Frowning, Sunxiao got up and went downstairs, only to see Hei Lun grabbing Qiao Lie and turning to leave.

"Stop right there."

Hei Lun froze.

’Damn it,’ he cursed inwardly. ’I moved so quickly, but Sunxiao still found me.’

Hei Lun turned around.

"Sunxiao, you’re healed?"

’He’d seen Sunxiao carried back yesterday, severely injured. How could he have possibly recovered this quickly?’

Sunxiao ignored him, his gaze falling on Qiao Lie, whose mouth was clamped shut by Hei Lun’s hand.

"Let him go."

Hei Lun didn’t let him go.

"Sunxiao, your cub did very well in the Beast Fighting Arena last time. He even awakened a one-star beast soul. I was just thinking we should let him go in for some more training. Maybe he could even advance to a two-star beast soul."

Sunxiao’s serpentine eyes glinted menacingly.

"I said, let him go."

The smile slowly faded from Hei Lun’s face.

"And what if... I don’t?"

Sunxiao’s serpentine eyes darkened.

"You’re courting death."

Before the words had even left his mouth, a massive snake tail lashed out at Hei Lun.

Ordinarily, Hei Lun would never dare to clash head-on with Sunxiao.

But with Sunxiao so heavily injured, he finally had a chance to win.

With a furious roar, Hei Lun leaped back, dodging Sunxiao’s attack.

Qiao Xixi followed the Wild Bull Demon Beast into a stone building. They went all the way up to the third floor, arriving at the stone room where the Sangji Witch Doctor resided.

"Sangji Witch Doctor, Witch Doctor Qiao Xixi is here to find some medicine for Sunxiao’s treatment."

The Sangji Witch Doctor was an elderly male fox beastman dressed in brown animal hides. The whiskers framing his mouth were graying, and his movements seemed sluggish.

At the sound of the voice, he slowly turned to glance at Qiao Xixi.

"You’re a Priest?" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Qiao Xixi nodded. "That’s right."

Sangji knew a new witch doctor had arrived in the city, but he hadn’t paid it much mind. He just pointed to a stone shelf at the side.

"The herbs are over there. See what you need and take it."

"Okay."

’Although finding herbs wasn’t her real goal, she wasn’t one to pass up a freebie.’

While they waited, the Wild Bull Demon Beast asked, "Sangji Witch Doctor, how are the City Lord’s injuries?"

"Quite severe. But I see the City Lord has recovered a lot today. He must have gone to absorb energy from the Crystal Stones."

As soon as Sangji said it, he realized his mistake and clamped his mouth shut.

"Witch Doctor Qiao Xixi, have you found the herbs you need?"

Qiao Xixi nodded. "I have. Thank you."

Sangji grunted. "If you’ve found them, then head back."

After Qiao Xixi and the Wild Bull Demon Beast left, she realized the secret room was on the floor directly below them.

She immediately turned and started down a small stone staircase nearby.

Seeing this, the Wild Bull Demon Beast hurried after her.

"Witch Doctor Qiao Xixi, where are you going?"

Qiao Xixi didn’t even raise her head.

"It’s a shortcut. I’m in a hurry to get back and treat Sunxiao."

The stone staircase was extremely narrow, only someone with Qiao Xixi’s slender frame could fit.

The brawny Wild Bull Demon Beast couldn’t possibly follow.

Afraid she would run off, he had no choice but to turn and take another route down, trying to beat her to the first floor.

He was fast, but Qiao Xixi was no slouch either.

She quickly leaped down the stairs to the first floor. The moment she rounded the corner, she saw the area ahead was filled with demon beast guards.

"Host, the secret room is in that room at the very back. You can use your Invisibility Cloak to run past them."

Qiao Xixi nodded. Just as she was about to pull out the Invisibility Cloak, a hand suddenly grabbed her shoulder.
