I Transmigrated as a Villainess to Raise Babies, and My Beast Husbands Are Fighting Madly Over Me!-Chapter 97: A Hopeless Case

Feiyan leaned against the doorframe, a faint smile gracing his lips as he watched Qiao Xixi’s frustrated expression.

Qiao Xixi resisted the urge to roll her eyes at him. ’That smug fox is so annoying,’ she thought.

Qiao Xixi had Qiao Lie lie down on the bed. After covering him with an animal hide blanket, she got up and walked out of the room.

"I’m going to make dinner."

Qiao Xixi didn’t let Qiao Qiao and the others follow her. They’d had a scare today and needed to rest well.

Feiyan pulled his gaze away from Qiao Xixi, only to turn and meet the disdainful stares of his own cubs.

Feiyan was completely baffled. Just a moment ago, the cubs had been grinning at him.

Qiao Qiao shook her head, looked back at Qiao Ang, and sighed with a world-weary expression on her little face.

"Brother, you can’t be foolish like Father when you grow up."

Qiao Ang, his little face tense, nodded seriously. "Mhm, you’re right."

Feiyan: "???"

Seeing that Feiyan still looked clueless, Qiao Qiao resignedly climbed off the bed, gave him a little push, and pointed to Qiao Xixi, who was busy in the courtyard.

"Mother is busy all by herself."

Feiyan was still baffled. "Mhm, yes, I see that."

Qiao Qiao stomped her foot in frustration. "You stupid Father, you don’t understand anything!"

After saying her piece, Qiao Qiao trotted over to Qiao Xixi, hugged her leg, and looked up at her with big, watery eyes.

"Mother, Qiaoqiao wants to help."

Qiao Xixi paused and looked back at her. "Don’t you need to rest?"

Qiao Qiao shook her head. "Just being with Mother makes me feel full of energy."

Qiao Xixi was delighted by Qiao Qiao’s sweet words and couldn’t resist planting a big kiss on her fair, tender cheek.

Qiao Qiao smiled in satisfaction from the kiss. She hugged Qiao Xixi’s leg and tilted her head to look at Feiyan.

Feiyan’s eye twitched. ’What in the world is my cub up to?’

When Qiao Qiao saw Feiyan still standing there motionlessly, her little face scrunched up in disdain.

’He’s hopeless! Utterly hopeless!’

"Here, why don’t you help Mother wash these yellowfruits?"

"Okay, Mother."

Just as Qiao Qiao was about to fetch water with the yellowfruits in her arms, her eternally clueless father finally moved.

"Give those to your father."

Qiao Qiao unhesitatingly shoved the yellowfruits into his hands.

"The washing basin is over there, and the water vat is over here. Oh my, I think my head is feeling a little dizzy. I have to go lie down in the house right away, or I won’t grow up to be tall."

With a flick of her little braids, Qiao Qiao turned and dashed into the stone house, shutting the door behind her.

Qiao Xixi swallowed the words of concern that were about to leave her lips.

’The door slammed so loudly, and with such force. She’s probably not really feeling unwell, right?’

After fetching water and washing the yellowfruits, Feiyan brought them over to Qiao Xixi.

"What do I do with these?"

Qiao Xixi was in the middle of pressing oil. Without looking up, she replied, "Just smash them."

BAM!

The words had barely left Qiao Xixi’s mouth when she saw Feiyan smash a yellowfruit onto the cutting board. In an instant, yellow juice splattered everywhere, drenching her face.

Qiao Xixi: "..."

Feiyan took two steps back and threw another yellowfruit.

SPLAT!

Juice splattered all over Qiao Xixi’s face again.

"Feiyan!"

Inside the stone house, the two cubs speechlessly closed the crack in the doorway.

"Brother, maybe we shouldn’t let Father become Mother’s beast-mate. I’m afraid if she’s with him for too long, Mother will become silly too."

"You’re right."

"Feiyan!"

Qiao Xixi slammed the bone knife onto the table. "Are you doing this on purpose?"

Feiyan saw her little face flushed red with anger, looking just like Qiao Qiao, and couldn’t help but laugh.

His laughter was the last straw. Qiao Xixi nearly jumped up in a rage.

’I regret this,’ she thought. ’I never should have let him stay.’

"Tell me, are you doing this on purpose?!"

Feiyan felt utterly wronged. Qiao Xixi had clearly told him to smash the yellowfruits. He’d smashed them, so weren’t they smashed? 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"What? Are they not smashed enough?"

Qiao Xixi reached for the yellowfruits in his hand. "I don’t need your help. Get out of the way and stop making a mess."

Feiyan genuinely didn’t know how to cook. Normally, this was something the males of the tribe learned, but he had always been rather wild and free-spirited, and his father had let him have his way. As a result, he wasn’t skilled in these matters.

But being looked down upon by Qiao Xixi like this greatly ignited his competitive spirit!

"No need, I can do it!"

Feiyan refused to let go, forcefully pulling the yellowfruit back.

Qiao Xixi didn’t have time to let go and was pulled forward, crashing into Feiyan.

Because they were too close, she didn’t even have time to dodge.

"Oof!"

Qiao Xixi slammed into his chest.

The male’s muscles were hard, and the impact hurt. She grabbed onto Feiyan’s hide tunic to steady herself and glared at him. "If you ever want to see the cubs again, then get out of my way."

While Feiyan was still stunned, Qiao Xixi had already taken the yellowfruit from his hand.

Feiyan stared at her slender back, his ears suddenly turning beet red.

As if afraid Qiao Xixi would see his flustered state, he quickly turned and sat down on the sofa.

He reached up and touched his chest. When Qiao Xixi had crashed into him, her lips had pressed right over his heart.

A tingling, electric itch spread from that spot, leaving him at a loss.

"Xixi, we’re back."

Qiao Xixi’s eyes lit up. "It’s Jin Ling and the others. They’re back."

She put down the bone knife and eagerly ran to open the courtyard gate.

Jin Ling and Sunxiao walked in one after the other.

Qiao Xixi threw herself into Jin Ling’s arms, hugging him tightly. "You’re not hurt, are you?"

Sunxiao’s scarlet eyes fell upon Qiao Xixi, the depths within them darkening.

Jin Ling hugged her back and said soothingly, "Just a minor injury."

Qiao Xixi frowned at his words, only relaxing after she took his hand and inspected it thoroughly.

"I’ll clean your wound in a bit."

"Okay."

After that, Qiao Xixi took Sunxiao’s hand.

"Quick, let me see. Are you hurt?"

Feeling the warmth from Qiao Xixi’s small hand, the frost in Sunxiao’s cold gaze began to thaw slightly.

"I’m hurt."

Qiao Xixi was startled. "Where? Quick, let me see."

Sunxiao’s eyes locked onto hers. "I’ll show you inside."

Without a second thought, Qiao Xixi nodded and followed him into the stone house.

Jin Ling watched the stone house door close and averted his gaze with a helpless sigh.

Feiyan frowned as he watched Qiao Xixi’s attitude toward her beast-mates. ’Where was the fierce, combative woman from just a moment ago?’

For some reason, Feiyan suddenly felt a surge of displeasure.

The moment the stone house door closed, Sunxiao turned and cornered Qiao Xixi on the bed.

Qiao Xixi didn’t push him away, afraid of touching his wounds.

"Quick, let me see the wound first."

Sunxiao stole a kiss from the corner of her lips before standing up and spreading his arms.

"Check for yourself."

The hide clothing Sunxiao wore was different from Jin Ling’s and the others’. His was exceptionally soft and smooth, draping over his body like a fine, crimson robe.

She didn’t think much of it and reached out to undo his sash. The smooth robe slid off.

A stark naked Sunxiao appeared before her eyes...
