I Transmigrated as a Villainess to Raise Babies, and My Beast Husbands Are Fighting Madly Over Me!

Chapter 369: Chapter 369: I Must See Her in Person

After a period of flight, Kunlin returned to Wing Beast City.

As Kunlin approached the palace, he heard Yaya’s crying shouts.

"I don’t want you! I want to find my mother! I want to play with my brothers and sisters!"

Yaya broke free from Huang Yue’s grasp and dashed toward the main gate, only to be scooped up by a large, powerful hand just as she was about to run out.

Yaya looked up and saw Kunlin’s face.

"Yaya, your father is back."

Yaya’s eyes lit up. She craned her neck to look behind Kunlin. "Father, is Mother back? Did she come home?"

Kunlin’s expression darkened as he recalled the state of Huang Ying’s corpse. "No. She has her own things to do."

At his words, the light in Yaya’s eyes dimmed, and she slumped listlessly onto Kunlin’s shoulder.

Kunlin handed her over to the older female who cared for her. "Take Yaya to play for now."

"Yes."

After Yaya left, Kunlin walked up to Huang Yue. "City Lord."

Compared to a few days ago, Huang Yue looked much more haggard.

He let out a heavy sigh. "I’ve already heard from your older brother about the foolish things Huang Ying did. But the Black Panther Tribe has gone too far, showing no respect for my Wing Beast City! Huang Ying was in the wrong, and I would have dealt with her, but how could they just kill her?"

Kunlin looked up. "City Lord, Huang Ying brought her death upon herself. No one else is to blame."

Huang Yue’s face darkened as he glared at him. "Kunlin, no matter what, Huang Ying was my child! She was your mate! As her beast-husband, you should have been the first to protect her when she was in danger. What were you doing at that time?"

"City Lord, when I arrived, Huang Ying was having her people try to kill the female Qiao Xixi. None of us expected that female Qiao Xixi would suddenly awaken and kill Huang Ying in return."

Kunlin’s account was similar to Kunqi’s. Huang Yue’s eyes narrowed. "Your older brother said that this female named Qiao Xixi can summon wind and rain?"

Kunlin nodded. "Yes."

Huang Yue stood up and began to pace back and forth, his hands clasped behind his back.

’In all these years, I have never seen a beast-man with such abilities, other than him... Whose bloodline does she carry?’

"Her beast form is a Silver Frost White Wolf."

Huang Yue stopped dead in his tracks. "What did you say? She’s a Silver Frost White Wolf?!"

Huang Yue’s reaction puzzled Kunlin.

"Yes, City Lord. Is something wrong?"

Huang Yue looked dazed for a moment, but quickly shook his head. ’It must be a coincidence. The Silver Frost White Wolf lineage isn’t exactly small, and he isn’t the only one...’

"City Lord? City Lord?"

Huang Yue snapped back to reality and snorted. "No matter what, the Black Panther Tribe killed Huang Ying. Wing Beast City will not let this go."

Kunlin frowned imperceptibly. "City Lord, before that, shouldn’t we first find a way to replace the Crystal Stone that Huang Ying stole?"

Upon hearing this, the anger in Huang Yue’s eyes intensified, but this time, it was directed at Huang Ying.

Huang Ying was his only child, so it was impossible for him not to care. But she had been distant from him for a long time. In fact, she wasn’t close to anyone around her, not even him, her own father.

She never discussed anything with him and often left the city. He had no idea what she was doing out there.

And yet, despite all this, he had always indulged her.

But he never imagined that she would steal the Crystal Stone, knowing full well how important it was to the Beast City. It was a complete disregard for the Beast City’s survival, and it truly chilled his heart.

"Tiger Beast City now knows that our Crystal Stone is gone. It’s inevitable they’ll start getting ideas."

"You’re right. The most important thing is to replace the Crystal Stone first. But refining a Crystal Stone like that requires sacrificing several beast-men of Tier 10 or higher at the same time..."

Even in a Beast City, the number of beast-men at Tier 10 or above could be counted on one’s fingers. Sacrificing several of them was the best-case scenario. If things didn’t go smoothly...

Losing these powerful beast-men would be a huge blow to Wing Beast City.

"Let me think about it. As for the Black Panther Tribe... I will avenge Huang Ying."

A flicker of movement in Kunlin’s eyes. "What do you plan to do, City Lord?"

Huang Yue suddenly clenched his fist. "I’m going to make a trip to meet this female named Qiao Xixi in person."

Kunlin frowned. "City Lord... are you going to kill her?"

Huang Yue turned to look at Kunlin. "Kunlin, something’s not right with you."

Kunlin’s expression remained as frosty as ever. "Speak your mind, City Lord."

Huang Yue’s gaze bore into him sharply. "You care a lot about that female, Qiao Xixi, don’t you? You never truly cared about anyone before, not even Huang Ying. Don’t think I couldn’t tell."

An image of Qiao Xixi’s flower-like smile flashed through Kunlin’s mind.

"City Lord, Tiger Beast City has clashed with the Black Panther Tribe many times and has never gained an advantage. Wing Beast City has now lost its Crystal Stone, and both Tiger Beast City and Elephant Beast City are watching us like hungry predators. If we start a conflict with another large tribe at a time like this, it will only put us at a greater disadvantage."

"You have a point. But I must meet Qiao Xixi. I’ll arrange affairs in the city over the next few days and then make the trip."

"Yes."

「After the repairs to the inner city were finished, Qiao Yi really did drag Jin Ling and the others to the training grounds.」

A few days ago, Xijing had also found the merfolk who had been waiting in the mountains, bringing them and their cargo back to the tribe.

Qiao Xixi was about to begin refining a new batch of Awakened Beast Soul Crystal Stones.

After several busy days, Qiao Xixi placed all the refined Crystal Stones into a large wooden chest.

This batch of Crystal Stones could awaken the beast souls of several hundred more beast-men. At this rate, the Black Panther Tribe’s foundational combat strength would increase dramatically.

"Xixi."

Qiao Xixi had just stored the Crystal Stones in her space when she turned to see Sangze walking over.

As he got closer, Qiao Xixi noticed his face was covered in bruises.

"Sangze, you’re back."

Sangze pursed his lips. Just as he was about to speak, his expression turned furious. "Ah... that damn old geezer! If that idiot hadn’t backed off, I wouldn’t have been hit!"

The words had barely left his mouth when the wild, wicked anger on his face vanished, replaced by embarrassed frustration. "It was clearly you who couldn’t dodge!"

"You’re the idiot!"

Qiao Xixi: ...

Qiao Xixi silently backed away. This kind of scene had been playing out several times a day!

But just as Qiao Xixi stealthily turned to leave, a powerful arm wrapped around her, pulling her into a firm embrace.

"Little female, where are you going?"

"I was worried you might be thirsty, so I was going to get you a cup of water."

"No need. There’s water in the room."

A wisp of black mist swept from Sangze’s palm, and the door swung shut.

With a slight exertion of strength, he lifted her and sat her on the long table behind them, then leaned in.

Qiao Xixi leaned back slightly, but found herself trapped in the small space he had created.

Sangze picked up the cup from the table and brought it to her lips.

"Be good. Open your mouth."
