Chapter 339: Chapter 339: You Are Not Allowed to Go Find Her
"Yaya!"
Huang Ying rushed over to Yaya. As she confirmed once again that this was indeed her cub, the shock in her heart slowly turned to anger.
"That bitch, Qiao Xixi! She actually gave the Regeneration Flower juice to Yaya!"
"My lady, what exactly did you do to the Regeneration Flower?" To this day, Fenglin still had no idea.
Huang Ying’s expression was grim. Gritting her teeth, she definitely wasn’t going to tell Fenglin that she had hidden a mind-controlling Gu Worm inside the Regeneration Flower. She had to beg and plead with the system just to get it.
Her original plan was for anyone close to Qiao Xixi to ingest the Gu Worm and become her puppet. That way, it would have been much easier for her to achieve her goals.
After all, Qiao Xixi would never be on guard against someone she trusted.
But who would have thought that Yaya would be the one to ingest the Gu Worm!
"System, give me the antidote for the Gu Worm, quickly." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
"Weren’t you trying to control one of Qiao Xixi’s people? Why do you need the antidote so soon?"
"Qiao Xixi fed the Gu Worm to my cub! When the hell did she even capture my cub!?"
The system fell silent for a moment. "So, you’re saying you’ve failed again?"
Huang Ying gritted her teeth. "I will absolutely not accept defeat like this. Just give me the antidote first."
The system was furious. "Don’t come asking me for things anymore! I used my own points to redeem that!"
After getting the antidote, Huang Ying quickly fed it to Yaya.
Worried about being discovered, Jin Ling didn’t dare get too close. But the forest was quiet, and he heard every word they said.
When Kunlin realized something was wrong with Yaya, his expression turned incredibly grim. He leaped down from the tree and snatched Yaya from Huang Ying’s arms.
Fenglin was startled and immediately pulled Huang Ying behind him to protect her.
"Kunlin? What are you doing here?" Fenglin was astonished.
Huang Ying, however, just frowned, her gaze toward Kunlin filled with coldness.
"Kunlin, you were following me!"
Kunlin held Yaya, his own gaze toward Huang Ying equally icy.
"I have no interest in your whereabouts. I was looking for Yaya."
"What do you mean? Did someone go to Wing Beast City and steal Yaya? Was it one of Qiao Xixi’s beastmen mates?!"
Kunlin looked at him coldly, a flash of disappointment flickering through his dark pupils.
"Yaya left on her own."
Huang Ying froze. "On her own." Then she roared in anger, "What kind of job were you doing watching Yaya, to let her run all the way here from Wing Beast City by herself? You’re her father! Is this how you protect her?"
A vein throbbed on Kunlin’s neck. The words on the tip of his tongue suddenly felt meaningless.
His gaze toward Huang Ying was so cold it was practically freezing. Fenglin even sensed killing intent from him.
Fenglin was shocked. ’Has Kunlin lost his mind? How dare he have murderous thoughts about the Matriarch!’
"Kunlin, don’t be crazy."
Kunlin’s gaze remained icy, but he reined in his killing intent and looked at Fenglin.
"The City Lord has ordered you to bring her back to the city immediately. I’ve delivered the message. Whether you go back or not is none of my business."
Just as Kunlin was about to turn and leave, Yaya stirred and woke up.
"Mmm, Mommy?" Her soft, slightly hoarse voice made Kunlin stop in his tracks.
Hearing the voice, Huang Ying also took a step forward.
"Yaya, you’re awake. Mommy’s here."
Yaya’s senses slowly returned. After turning to look at Huang Ying, she furrowed her little brow in displeasure.
"You’re not my mommy."
Huang Ying faltered and frowned as well. "Yaya, you don’t recognize your mommy anymore?"
Yaya huffed, turned, and looked up at Kunlin. Her tightly furrowed little face broke into a smile. "Daddy! Daddy, take me to find Mommy! I want to sleep with Mommy."
Hearing his cub’s innocent voice, the coldness in Kunlin’s eyes melted away. He glanced at Huang Ying and said, "Yaya, do you want Mommy to come back to Wing Beast City with you?"
Yaya nodded. "I want Mommy to come back with us. I want to be with Mommy and Daddy."
Kunlin looked at Huang Ying. "You heard her. Yaya needs you."
Huang Ying frowned. "I can’t go back right now."
But as soon as Huang Ying finished speaking, Yaya cried out.
"She’s not my mommy! I don’t want her to be my mommy!"
Kunlin finally noticed something was wrong with Yaya. "Yaya said she’s not. Then who is?"
Yaya tilted her little head, blinking her big eyes at Kunlin. "Mommy is super pretty. She’s not pretty. I want the pretty Mommy."
Huang Ying’s face clouded with displeasure. "The mommy you’re talking about... it couldn’t be a female with silver hair named Qiao Xixi, could it?!"
Yaya’s little eyes lit up. "Xixi! Xixi! Yes, it’s Mommy Xixi! Daddy, let’s go find Mommy Xixi."
Kunlin didn’t know who Qiao Xixi was, and he didn’t want Yaya to stay out for too long. "Daddy will take you home first. Your maternal grandfather is very worried about you."
"I don’t want to! I just want Mommy! WAAAHHH... I want Mommy!"
Yaya burst into tears at the drop of a hat.
Kunlin looked both heartbroken and helpless, while Huang Ying stood frozen in place, her face dark.
’Qiao Xixi should die!’ she thought. ’How dare she bewitch my cub to the point that she doesn’t even want me, her own biological mother!’
’Yaya is the female lead of this world! How can she be so close to the villain’s wicked mother!’
"What are you crying for?! She’s not your mommy at all! She’s the most vicious female in this world! I forbid you from having any more contact with her! Kunlin, take her back to Wing Beast City immediately!"
Startled by the shouting, Yaya shrank into Kunlin’s arms, crying even more sorrowfully.
"Daddy, Yaya really wants to be with Mommy."
Yaya looked at Kunlin with pleading eyes, her gaze filled with a longing for Qiao Xixi.
Kunlin had never seen her like this. She had never shown such reluctance to part with anyone, not even with him, her own father.
Kunlin suddenly grew curious about what this "mommy" she spoke of was really like.
"Alright. Daddy will take you to find your mommy."
"Kunlin, are you crazy?! Do you have any idea what you’re doing?"
Kunlin didn’t answer her, only stating coldly, "I know how to protect Yaya."
With that, Kunlin leaped into a tree with Yaya in his arms, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into his beast form and flew away.
"Kunlin, you idiot! If you dare take Yaya to find Qiao Xixi, I’ll dissolve our partnership contract!"
Huang Ying was furious. She leaped into the trees and gave chase.
Seeing this, Fenglin immediately followed.
Only after confirming they had all gone far away did Jin Ling emerge from the woods.
’I can’t believe Yaya is a cub of the Phoenix Clan,’ he thought. ’That explains why we couldn’t see her beast form.’
The Phoenix Clan is extremely rare. Their blood can nourish a beastman’s body, and because of this, the Phoenix Clan once suffered a great slaughter.
Ever since, to protect their young, the Phoenix Clan suppresses the aura of their bloodline until the cubs are three years old.
Jin Ling recalled what Huang Ying had just said, and a chilling coldness glinted in his gilded-gold pupils. He turned and vanished into the mountain forest.
