Transmigrated into a wicked female raising cubs, the beast husbands are fighting over her!

Chapter 210 Did you bring your mother back?

Xiya suddenly turned around, glaring angrily with her big, blue eyes full of accusation.

"I...have no...mother!"

Qiao Xixi was taken aback, and just as her expression was about to soften, Xi Ya raised her chin arrogantly, "We mermaid babies are all born from our father beasts."

Qiao Xixi was stunned again, "You were born from your father, the beast?"

"Host, let me explain this to you. After the male merman mates with the female, the female lays eggs for the male merman to incubate. So in some ways, the babies are indeed conceived by the male merman."

"That doesn't mean there are no females, does it?"

"Um... well, you can ask him yourself, host."

"Let me go, and I'll give this back to you."

Xiya threw the bamboo basket at Qiao Xixi's feet, and the shellfish and fish inside were scattered on the beach.

If Qiao Xixi isn't good at anything else, she's quite adept at disciplining unruly children.

She slung the tiger cub over her back, picked up Xiya, and patted her bottom twice.

"You did something wrong and you're still so arrogant. You deserve a lesson. I'll spank you."

Now it was Xiya's turn to be stunned. She struggled and stared at Qiao Xixi with wide, bewildered eyes, her face instantly turning bright red.

Why did you spank my bottom?

Qiao Xixi put her down and said seriously, "You have to be punished for doing something wrong. You set a trap that almost hurt me and tried to steal my food. Of course I have to punish you."

Xiya puffed out her cheeks and snorted, "Don't you land beasts love to steal things from us sea creatures? I did nothing wrong."

Qiao Xixi originally wanted to give them a stern scolding, but then she remembered that Qiao Lie and the others had become unruly children because they hadn't been properly taught and had faced survival crises, so she held back.

"But not all land beasts are bad beasts. Take me for example. Now that you've done something wrong, I'll let it slide since you're a little kid. If you help me gather some dry branches over there, I'll treat you to something delicious."

Xiya looked at Qiao Xixi with a questioning gaze, but in the end she was tempted by the delicious food in Qiao Xixi's mouth.

When Xiya carried the branch to the big rock, she saw Qiao Xixi sitting on the animal skin cushion, seriously cutting the fish-like creature in her hand.

Her long silver hair was tied into a long braid, which fell casually down her chest. Xiya had seen many beautiful female merfolk, but for some reason she felt that the land beast female in front of her was more beautiful than any female merfolk she had ever seen.

Beside her, there seemed to be a newborn baby lying nearby. The baby was so tiny, with a round belly that looked so cute. Was that the female's baby?
While she was cutting the meat, she would occasionally look at the cubs with such gentle eyes and a warm smile. Is this what they mean by a female mother?

Are you afraid of fire?

Xiya snapped back to reality, stunned. "Fire?" Her expression changed drastically, as if she'd just realized something. "Fire! What are you going to do!"

Those land beasts attacked her father with fire, severely injuring him!

"Don't be afraid. Fire isn't scary if used properly. If you're worried, stand further away. I'll show you."

Qiao Xixi put down the bone knife, piled up the firewood, and then took out a lighter to light the branches.

Xiya quickly retreated the moment she saw the firelight, but when she saw Qiao Xixi grilling the cut meat skewers on the fire on the tree branch, she suddenly felt that this thing that she feared and hated was not so scary anymore.

Josie placed the oysters and shellfish around the fire and cooked them with the heat.

Since the wasteland in her space was almost fully lit up, the storage space has also become much larger. She likes to stock up on some essential daily necessities in her space whenever she has free time, just in case.

Qiao Xixi took out the jam from her spatial storage and brushed it onto the fish and beast meat.

The aroma of grilled meat mixed with the fragrance of jam immediately caught Shioya's attention.

"Want to try it?"

The little one is proud and aloof, but he never skimps on his food.

"You, do you really want me to try it?"

Qiao Xixi chuckled; this personality gave her a sense of familiar helplessness. "Hmm, I'd like to invite you to try it."

Xiya couldn't wait to take the grilled fish and bite into it, but she was so burned that she almost jumped up.

The sleeping tiger cub was startled by her shout and kicked its little paws. Qiao Xixi quickly and gently soothed it.

"It will be very hot when it's freshly baked, so you have to blow on it to cool it down before eating."

After blowing on the fish and animal meat in her hand to cool it down, Qiao Xixi handed it to her.

Xiya ate most of the fish in one go and still felt like she hadn't had enough.

Qiao Xixi blew on the grilled oyster, poured the sauce on it, and took a bite. There was no fishy taste at all, only endless sweetness. It was so delicious!
After eating almost all the oysters and shellfish, Josie lay contentedly on the animal skin blanket, picking up the tiger cub and holding it to her heart.

The baby felt its mother's heartbeat and whimpered, then rolled over onto its back.

Qiao Xixi couldn't resist scratching her round little belly.

“You are different from other land beasts.”

Qiao Xixi tilted her head and looked at her, "Hmm? How is it different?"

Xiya puffed out her cheeks. "They're all bad beasts, you're not that bad."

"Oh dear, I have to go back now, otherwise my father will go hungry."

Xiya got up in a fluster to leave, but Qiao Xixi didn't want to miss the opportunity and quickly sat up after her.

"There's still a lot of grilled fish left here. Take it back for your father to eat."

Shioya was surprised, "Are you going to give all of them to me?"

"Yeah, there are still so many in the sea, you can have them all."

She took a leaf, wrapped up the rest of the grilled fish, and handed it to her.

Xiya looked at her expectantly, "You, do you want to come back with me?"

Qiao Xixi blinked, feigning reluctance, and said, "Wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

"No, if you'd like."

"Then trouble you."

Qiao Xixi carried the cub on her back, put away the animal skin cushion, and followed behind Xiya.

Shioya led her across the beach to the shore, and after passing through a grove of trees, a large reef appeared before them.

"My home is over there."

Qiao Xixi looked around and it seemed that there were no other beastmen besides them. The reason she wanted to come with Xiya was that she thought there might be sea beastmen living in groups here. But was this mermaid baby living alone with her father beast?
"Are there no other beastmen around here besides you and your father beast?"

“They live on the other side; it’s just me and my father beast here.”

Xiya nimbly jumped onto the reef and came to a cave in the middle of the reef. She turned around and waved to Qiao Xixi.

"Come here."

Qiao Xixi walked over in confusion, only to find that the middle of the reef was hollowed out. This was actually just the entrance. The inside of the reef seemed to be a transparent cave. As she walked deeper into the cave, the dim light in front of her suddenly disappeared.

A large beam of light shone into the cave, where in the center was a body of seawater, and a mermaid with long, light blue hair and a white veil over her eyes was leaning against a large rock.

His blue fish tail drooped halfway into the seawater, reflecting golden light, as beautiful as a painting.

Hearing the noise, he turned his head slightly to look at them. "Xiya, did you bring your mother back?"
