Chapter 135 Don't Scare Me

The red heart fruit trees are by the stream, which is the one that runs through the village.

As soon as Qiao Xixi arrived, she saw a large area of ​​red heart fruit vines.

"This is it."

"Everyone, hurry up and dig!"

The beastmen who followed also began to dig up the red heart fruit.

Qiao Xixi came to the water's edge and found that a red heart fruit vine was larger than the others. Curious, she squatted down to dig it up when a dark shadow slowly swam over in the water.

While Qiao Xixi was concentrating on digging for red heart fruit, a dark shadow suddenly broke out of the water, baring its fangs and biting at Qiao Xixi.

Qiao Xixi was startled. Before she could react, a white figure darted over and punched the huge mutated black fish beast on the head.

The mutated black fish beast angrily flipped over and slapped the water's surface, sending huge splashes hitting Qiao Xixi, who lost her balance and fell into the water.

"Xixi!"

Fei Yan's expression changed, and she jumped in, pulling Qiao Xixi into her arms.

"Young patriarch!"

Upon hearing the commotion, Ma Qing immediately led several male three-star beast souls over.

In the water, the mutated black fish beast reigned supreme, and it opened its blood-red maw and lunged at Crimson Flame.

Fei Yan carried Qiao Xixi and swam quickly toward the shore.

When Ma Qing and his group arrived at the shore and were about to go down to help, a mutated black bear suddenly rushed out of the forest.

The males who were digging for red heart fruit immediately sprang into action and started fighting the mutated black bear beast.

Qiao Xixi held her breath underwater, and when she opened her eyes, she saw the mutated black fish beast swimming towards her.

Fei Yan quickly turned her body to the side while holding her, and punched it.

The mutated black fish beast, in pain, turned around and swept its large tail towards them.

Fei Yan turned around and held Qiao Xixi in his arms. When the mutated black fish beast attacked again, his hand transformed into a sharp claw and pierced its eye.

Having been struck in the eye, the mutated black fish beast writhed in pain and turned to run away.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Fei Yan led Qiao Xixi ashore.

"Xixi, how are you? Are you alright?"

At this moment, Qiao Xixi collapsed completely into Fei Yan's arms, her eyes closed, and she fainted.

A panic unlike any he had ever felt before rose in Fei Yan's heart, a panic that terrified him even more than when he faced death.

"Xixi, don't scare me..." Fei Yan didn't dare to delay for a moment, picked up Qiao Xixi and ran towards the direction where Qiao Qiao and the others were.

His movements were extremely fast, yet remarkably steady.

Jin Lin was digging for red heart fruit with his three cubs, keeping a close eye on his surroundings. Suddenly, he saw Fei Yan running towards him carrying Qiao Xixi, and he immediately stood up.

"Qiaoqiao, quickly take a look at your mother, what's wrong with her?"

Qiao Qiao pulled a red heart fruit out of the ground with great effort. After hearing Fei Yan's words, she fell flat on her backside, but she quickly got up.

"What's wrong with the female mother?"

Jin Lin's expression changed as well. "Xi Xi! What happened?"

"It's my fault for not protecting Xixi properly. She fell into the water and was attacked by the mutated black fish beast. After we got ashore, she hasn't woken up. Qiaoqiao, please treat your mother quickly."

Qiao Qiao remained calm; she sensed no death aura emanating from her mother, so she was not afraid.

"Father, don't be afraid, Mother will be alright." She comforted her father, who was about to cry, just like Qiao Xixi.

Qiao Qiao's small hand grasped Qiao Xixi's hand, and a warm blue and white light gradually enveloped Qiao Xixi.

A moment later, the halo gradually dissipated, and Qiao Xixi slowly woke up.

"Xixi, you're awake."

Qiao Xixi opened her eyes, staring in astonishment at Fei Yan's worried face. She only remembered falling into the water and being attacked by a mutated black fish beast, then Fei Yan jumped in to protect her. And then… she seemed to bump into Fei Yan's shoulder… and then fainted?

Qiao Xixi frowned in disgust. She had actually fainted like that; it would be incredibly embarrassing if word got out.

"I am fine."

Jin Lin took Qiao Xixi from Fei Yan's arms. "Your clothes are wet. I'll take you back to change. It's cold now, so don't get sick."

Fei Yan opened her mouth, looked at her, but didn't say anything.

"Okay, let's go back first."

Qiao Xixi wanted her cub to go back with her, but Qiao Ang said first, "Mother, you go back first. We'll go back with the father beast later."

Fei Yan finally found an opportunity to speak, "I will protect the little ones."

Seeing that the children were determined to stay and complete the mission, Qiao Xixi didn't insist. "Alright, you must be careful. There are still mutated beasts outside."

"Good female mother."

Fei Yan watched Qiao Xixi leave, her gaze lingering for a long time.

"Oh no, will the female be angry with the stupid male beast?" Qiao Ang's little face was filled with a worry that didn't belong to him.

Qiao Qiao's delicate eyebrows furrowed in worry. "He's definitely going to be angry. That stupid father beast failed to protect the mother properly, making such a serious mistake on the very first time."

Qiao Ang shook his head in frustration, "Then forget it. A father beast that can't protect its mother isn't a good father beast."

Crimson Flame: ...

Fei Yan squatted down and took Qiao Qiao's little hand. "Qiao Qiao, you're the smartest. Tell your father beast how to make your mother and mother stop being angry?"

Qiao Qiao withdrew her small hands, cupped Fei Yan's face, looked her up and down and left and right, and finally sighed helplessly.

Seeing this, Fei Yan became anxious, "How about it, my darling? Tell me quickly."

"Never mind, he's my own son."

Qiao Qiao leaned close to Fei Yan's ear and rattled off a bunch of things, leaving Fei Yan utterly astonished!

Since falling into the water that day, she hasn't left the hospital for the past two days. She's been making roasted red fruit slices and some roasted fish slices at home, hoping to exchange these for animal hides in the tribe to make a new animal hide coat.

Qiao Qiao and Qiao Ang knew she was going out today, so they prepared early in the morning.

“Jin Lin, let’s set off too.” Qiao Lie walked to Jin Lin’s side.

Jin Lin looked at Qiao Xixi with concern, "Xixi, are you sure you don't need me to go with you?"

Qiao Xixi laughed and said, "Didn't you promise to take Qiao Lie to catch fish beasts? Guman and her beast husband are waiting outside, so you don't need to worry about us."

The tribe is indeed relatively safe now, with two to three patrol teams patrolling every day, so Jin Lin stopped insisting.

"Then be careful, and come back once you've exchanged the animal hides."

"no problem."

Jin Lin led Qiao Lie to the stream. After they left, Qiao Xixi also packed her things in a bamboo basket and went out.

“XiXi, we’re here.”

Kuman was waiting not far outside the courtyard.

"coming."

Behind Guman were Bush and Lulin, who greeted Josie warmly.

"The family we're going to exchange animal skins for today lives a bit far away; it'll be a while to get there."

Qiao Xixi said nonchalantly, "It's okay, it's good to get some exercise. I've been so bored at home these past few days."

Qiao, Qiao, and Tata followed behind the two, holding hands.

“XiXi, you’re really amazing,” Guman suddenly said.

Qiao Xixi was a little curious as to why she suddenly started praising her again. "What's wrong?"
