I Transmigrated as a Villainess to Raise Babies, and My Beast Husbands Are Fighting Madly Over Me!-Chapter 65: I’ve Finally Found You

Qiao Xixi was keeping track of the time for her meeting with Sunxiao.

A sudden, loud BANG echoed from outside.

Qiao Xixi pulled Qiao Lie into a sitting position on the bed.

"Qiao Lie, let’s go."

"Mm."

Qiao Lie transformed into a small snake and coiled around Qiao Xixi’s waist. The two of them quickly left the stone house.

"The beasts at the Beast Fighting Arena are out of control! Quick, come with me and see what’s happening!"

"Let’s move!"

Outside, demon beasts were rushing toward the Beast Fighting Arena.

Using the darkness as cover, Qiao Xixi ran quickly toward the main keep.

"City Lord! The beasts in the Beast Fighting Arena are out of control! They’ve broken through the barriers and are injuring our demon beasts!"

Hei Zong sat up in bed.

’It would be one thing if they were just ordinary beasts, but there are quite a few Mutant Beasts in there.’

’Mutant Beasts are far stronger than normal ones. If they all escape, Demon Beast City will suffer catastrophic losses.’

He snatched up a beast-hide tunic, threw it on, and strode outside.

"Gather all the powerful demon beasts in the city! We absolutely cannot let the Mutant Beasts escape!"

"Yes!"

Qiao Xixi reached the inner city walls.

Only after Hei Zong left with the other demon beasts did she approach the first floor.

’But to her surprise, even with all the chaos outside, the number of guards on this floor hadn’t decreased. In fact, it had increased.’

’I’ve already calculated it,’ Qiao Xixi thought. ’Based on the length of this corridor, I can get to the end within five minutes.’

Qiao Xixi took out the Invisibility Cloak, put it on, and sprinted toward the room at the far end.

Two demon beasts stood guard outside the door.

Without a word, Qiao Xixi raised her hand and slapped one of the demon beasts.

The demon beast, struck for no reason, looked around before angrily shoving the other one.

"Why’d you hit me?"

"Who hit you? Are you blind?"

The demon beast that had been hit looked bewildered. Just as it was straightening up, another slap landed across its face.

Before it could get angry, the demon beast next to it was also slapped.

Both demon beasts, assuming the other was the culprit, flew into a rage and started fighting.

As the two demon beasts fought, Qiao Xixi quickly pushed open the door, slipped inside, and shut it behind her.

The two demon beasts, locked in their brawl, didn’t even notice the stone door open and close.

Qiao Xixi took off the Invisibility Cloak and surveyed the stone room.

"Why is this place full of beast bones?"

"Little Demon, are you sure the Crystal Stone is hidden in here?"

"Host, the Crystal Stone is in a secret chamber. You have to find the mechanism."

Qiao Xixi and Qiao Lie began to search the stone room.

Qiao Lie slithered nimbly along the walls. When he touched a deer skull mounted on one, he sensed something was amiss.

"Mother, this deer skull feels different."

Curious, Qiao Xixi went over and nudged the deer skull with her hand.

With a CLICK, the deer skull slowly began to rotate.

Qiao Xixi jumped back as a hole suddenly opened in the floor at her feet.

"Host, that’s the entrance to the secret chamber. Hurry and go in."

Qiao Xixi lit a torch and, with Qiao Lie, carefully descended.

The secret chamber’s layout was simple: just a single stone path leading straight ahead.

After walking for some time, Qiao Xixi saw a faint light flickering ahead.

She couldn’t help but quicken her pace.

Meanwhile, Hei Zong had arrived at the Beast Fighting Arena.

The arena was in a state of utter chaos.

It was also the day they put captured beastman cubs into the arena for "training." Under the indiscriminate rampage of the beasts and Mutant Beasts, many of the young beastmen had been trampled into a bloody pulp.

Hei Zong’s expression was grim. Just as he was about to step in, a Black Crow Beast landed on his shoulder.

"Crystal Stone, Crystal Stone! Danger, danger!"

The color drained from Hei Zong’s face.

"You’re saying someone broke into the secret chamber?"

"Yes, yes!"

"Damn it! The rest of you, hold them back here! Everyone else, back to the main keep with me!"

With a furious roar, Hei Zong transformed into his beast form and sprinted madly toward the main keep.

Qiao Xixi stared in awe at the kaleidoscopic array of Crystal Stones before her.

The purple Crystal Stone placed at the very top was especially breathtaking—crystal clear and seductively beautiful.

Below the purple Crystal Stone was a blue one and a green one. The rest were mostly colorless, red, and orange—all lower-grade Crystal Stones.

Qiao Xixi said to Qiao Lie, "Qiao Lie, quick, get the blue Crystal Stone!"

"Okay!"

Qiao Lie slithered over deftly and took the blue Crystal Stone.

DING!

"Congratulations, Host. Limited-time mission complete. Reward: 200 points. Partial access to the store has been unlocked."

Qiao Xixi was in no mood to check her newly unlocked store access. She rushed forward and began scooping the purple, green, and all the remaining Crystal Stones into her storage space.

’Oh my god, I’ve hit the jackpot!’

"Host, stop! Hei Zong is already on his way back!"

Qiao Xixi froze.

"How is he back so fast?"

"He must have realized the secret chamber was breached. You need to hurry!"

Not daring to delay, Qiao Xixi quickly scooped up Qiao Lie and ran for the exit.

Just as she reached the exit of the secret chamber, she heard heavy, hurried footsteps from beyond the main door.

BANG!

The door was thrown open, and Hei Zong strode in.

When he saw the entrance to the secret chamber standing open, his black eyes turned red with fury.

Draped in the Invisibility Cloak, Qiao Xixi quickly edged toward the doorway.

The moment Qiao Xixi reached the corridor, she heard Hei Zong’s furious roar from inside the chamber.

The roar was earth-shattering, a testament to his immense rage.

"Seal all exits to Demon Beast City! No beastman is to leave, not even a single step!"

"Yes, sir!"

Qiao Xixi ran toward the back gate, just as she had planned.

’I wonder how things are going on Sunxiao’s end.’

The Invisibility Cloak’s effect wore off, and she was forced to use the shadows to hide.

But more and more demon beasts were heading for the back gate, leaving her with almost nowhere to hide.

"That way! You lot, head over there!"

"Right."

Qiao Xixi’s heart leaped in panic as she saw the pursuing demon beasts. Just when she didn’t know where to hide, a hand suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her up into the air.

Startled, Qiao Xixi was about to attack, but upon recognizing a familiar scent, she reversed her motion and hugged the person tightly.

"Jin Ling!"

In the darkness, Jin Ling’s handsome face was faintly visible.

Only his gilded, golden eyes shone with exceptional brightness in the dark.

Qiao Xixi hugged him tighter, overcome with emotion.

Jin Ling couldn’t help but kiss her on the cheek, taking in her familiar scent.

"Xixi, I finally found you."

"Shh!"

Jin Ling covered Qiao Xixi’s mouth. Below them, a patrol of demon beasts hurried past.

Jin Ling was a five-star beast soul and could already conceal his aura, so the demon beasts couldn’t sense his presence.

"Jin Ling, are Qiao Ang and Qiao Qiao alright?"

Jin Ling nodded. "They’re fine. I settled them in a safe place, then looked for an opportunity to enter Demon Beast City to find you."

"Let’s get out of here first."

"Okay."

Carrying Qiao Xixi, Jin Ling leaped into the shadows. Within a few bounds, he had already cleared the area with the highest concentration of demon beasts.

"I found a small exit over here. We can get out through it."

Jin Ling, still holding Qiao Xixi, was about to leave when he was grabbed by a small hand.
