I Transmigrated as a Villainess to Raise Babies, and My Beast Husbands Are Fighting Madly Over Me!-Chapter 82: Finally Found You

"Qiao Qiao!"

Qiao Xixi spotted a familiar figure in the distance and shot up from her stool.

She took off after her without a second thought.

Qiao Qiao was feeling down because it felt like a long time since she had last seen her mother.

At that moment, her longing for her mother peaked.

So.

No matter what, she had to run out and find her mother today.

Qiao Qiao ran as hard as she could, then heard a familiar voice from behind her.

She turned around in astonishment to see the mother she had been longing for running toward her.

Qiao Qiao was stunned.

She rubbed her eyes hard, thinking she must be seeing things.

Until she was swept into that familiar embrace.

"Mother?"

"Mother!"

"It’s me, my Qiaoqiao. Mother has finally found you!"

Qiao Xixi fought back a sob, holding her cub tightly in her arms.

Qiao Qiao snapped back to reality and burst into tears in Qiao Xixi’s arms.

"Mother, WAAAH! I finally found you, Mother."

Qiao Xixi picked up her cub and quickly started walking back.

"Don’t cry, don’t cry. Mother will take you back right now."

Qiao Xixi carried Qiao Qiao into the room.

When Qiao Qiao saw the unconscious Qiao Ang, she squirmed out of her mother’s arms.

"Mother, what’s wrong with Brother?"

"Your brother was sick, but don’t worry, he’s out of danger now."

Qiao Qiao sadly took Qiao Ang’s hand.

"Brother, I’m back. You have to get better quickly."

As if sensing Qiao Qiao’s presence, Qiao Ang slowly opened his eyes.

The moment he saw Qiao Qiao, he thought he was dreaming.

"Mother, I think I see my sister."

"You silly boy, you’re not dreaming. Qiaoqiao is really back."

A light began to dawn in Qiao Ang’s eyes, which widened in astonishment.

"It’s Qiaoqiao! It’s really Qiaoqiao! Mother, we really found Qiaoqiao!"

Qiao Xixi hadn’t expected to find Qiao Qiao inside the tribe, either.

She took some water from the Spiritual Spring out of her space and had Qiao Ang drink it. The little one perked up immediately.

Or perhaps it was seeing his sister that finally allowed him to relax, and his illness faded away.

"Qiaoqiao, can you tell Mother what’s happened these past two days?"

Qiao Qiao bit her lip, looking from Qiao Xixi to Qiao Ang, and said in her childish voice, "Mother, I... I found our father."

Although the little sprite had told her a few things, Qiao Xixi was still surprised.

"Is your father in the tribe, too?"

Qiao Qiao nodded. "Yes. I was actually trying to leave the tribe to find you today, Mother."

"Father..." Qiao Ang’s little face was frozen in a daze.

’He won’t have to be jealous of Qiao Lie for having a father anymore!’

"These past two days, did you get along with your father?"

Qiao Qiao’s little face instantly puffed up, and she huffed.

"He’s just an idiot. I don’t like him at all."

Qiao Xixi hadn’t expected that kind of answer.

Finding Qiao Qiao was like the sun rising for Qiao Xixi.

But for Feiyan, losing Qiao Qiao was like the sky falling.

He had been with the little cub all morning, but she’d said she wanted to go catch fish-beasts with him and sent him off to prepare.

But when he came back with the supplies, the little cub was gone!

Remembering the little cub’s prior escape attempt, he immediately sent men to guard the entrance, determined not to let her leave the main gate of the tribe and run into danger.

When Feili found out Qiao Qiao was missing, his glare nearly tore Feiyan to shreds.

"You’re a grown beastman! What’s the point of being so big if you can’t even watch a single little cub!"

Feiyan’s expression was grim. His usually captivating fox-like eyes were now dark and uncertain.

He had already sent the beastmen of the tribe to search for her.

But even after searching all this time, there was still no sign of Qiao Qiao.

When Jin Ling returned carrying lumber, he saw the beastmen frantically searching for something.

He was a little confused, but they all looked to be in such a hurry that he didn’t go out of his way to ask.

Sunxiao preferred quiet, so the stone house he was staying in was in a rather remote location. It was surrounded by trees and quite peaceful, so very few other beastmen ever came this way.

"Xixi, I’m back."

"The big male is back!"

Jin Ling froze when he saw Qiao Qiao run out.

"Qiaoqiao?"

Qiao Xixi followed the little one out of the house.

"I found Qiaoqiao in the yard this morning. A beastman from the tribe rescued her and brought her back here."

Jin Ling never would have imagined such a coincidence.

He put down the lumber and patted the little one’s head.

"Qiaoqiao, you’re not hurt, are you?"

Qiao Qiao threw herself into Jin Ling’s arms. In the little cub’s heart, she had long since seen Jin Ling as her father.

Compared to Feiyan, she was much more willing to be close to Jin Ling.

"Nope, I’m perfectly fine."

With Qiao Qiao’s return, they had also successfully settled into the Silver Tribe.

The dark cloud that had been hanging over them for the past two days finally dispersed.

"That’s good."

Jin Ling looked at Qiao Xixi.

"I’ll hurry up and fence the yard. That way, we can have some peace of mind when the children are playing out here."

"I’ll help."

Before dark, Sunxiao also returned with Qiao Lie.

Qiao Lie was also pleasantly surprised to see Qiao Qiao.

Qiao Xixi told them how Qiao Qiao had returned and what had happened to her over the past two days.

When Sunxiao heard that Qiao Qiao’s father was in the tribe, his crimson eyes darkened.

Sunxiao glanced at the lumber intended for the yard fence, then put down his catch and went to help.

’This fence really does need to be built as soon as possible.’

As the sky continued to darken, Feiyan’s expression grew grimmer.

The beastman guarding the main gate said he hadn’t seen any cubs leave, which meant the little one was still somewhere in the tribe.

But they couldn’t find her no matter where they looked.

"Young Clan Leader, we’ve searched the entire tribe and haven’t found the little female cub."

Feiyan clenched his fists, an indescribable panic rising in his heart for the first time.

"Go check house by house. Even if you have to turn the whole tribe upside down, find that cub."

"Yes, sir."

Feiyan also took two male beastmen and began searching door to door.

Jin Ling and Sunxiao worked quickly. Before nightfall, they had finished fencing the front of the yard.

They would finish the back tomorrow, and then the job would be complete.

Qiao Xixi, Qiao Lie, and the others butchered the prey Sunxiao had brought back.

The weather wasn’t hot, so the raw meat wouldn’t spoil if left out.

She cut up the meat, stir-fried it in oil until fragrant, then added the crimsonfruit.

Now that Qiao Qiao was found, her thoughts turned back to the fruits and vegetables on the mountain. ’I need to find time to go pick some more.’

That night, after dinner, Jin Ling drew a bath for her.

Qiao Xixi carried Qiao Qiao into the bathing room.

Just as the bathing room door closed, there was a knock on the yard gate.

Jin Ling turned to open the gate.

The moment he saw Feiyan, Jin Ling froze as well.

It was also Feiyan’s first time seeing Jin Ling, and he was surprised by the aura of a powerful warrior that emanated from him.

"You’re the beastman who joined the tribe yesterday?"

Feiyan had assumed Jin Ling was a beastman from the Three Stone Tribe.

Jin Ling nodded. "That’s right. Can I help you?"

Feiyan’s gaze quickly swept across the yard before finally landing on the closed door of the bathing room.
