Chapter 211: Surprised or Unexpected
Qiao Xixi stumbled and almost fell into the water.

She felt like she'd heard that voice somewhere before, but she couldn't quite place it.

Xiya glanced at Qiao Xixi with her big eyes and quickly said, "Father, she is not my mother."

That breathtakingly beautiful face turned towards where Josie was. "Isn't that right?"

Qiao Xixi shook her head hurriedly, but he didn't seem to react.

Qiao Xixi was somewhat surprised and tugged at Xiya, whispering, "Your father beast is blind?"

Xiya nodded, "Father Beast injured his eyes before."

Qiao Xixi felt a little regretful; such a beautiful face, how beautiful those eyes must be.

“Father beast, she is not my mother, she is a land beast I met on the beach. Her name is Josie, and she wants to stay in our home for the time being.”

Josie wanted to deny it, but after looking around the cave, she realized that living here was indeed safer than living on the beach, so she acquiesced.

Will this disturb you?

After learning that Qiao Xixi was not Xiya's mother, Xi Jing's face showed a faint sadness. "You are a land beast?"

"Yes, I am from the Silverfrost White Wolf clan, and I also have a tiger cub."

"Tiger cub, is that your cub?"

"Ah."

Xi Jing turned her face away, no longer facing her, and said, "Okay."

"Thank you very much. In gratitude, I will provide you with food."

"Oh, right, Father Beast, this is the food that the female Josie gave us. It's grilled fish and beast meat. Try it."

Xi Ya placed the leaf package in Xi Jing's hand, but Xi Jing did not open it immediately. Instead, she gently asked, "Xi Ya, have you eaten?"

"Father beast, I'm full. Feel my belly; isn't it round and plump?"

Xi Jing chuckled softly, his smile illuminated by a gentle light, like a flower blooming deep in the ocean, mysterious and splendid.

Xi Ya opened the leaf and a faint, sweet aroma of jam wafted out. Xi Jing was a little surprised. With her slender fingers, she picked up a piece of fish, took a bite, and ate it slowly.

Qiao Xixi thought he was truly elegant, without a trace of wildness in him.

"Did you do this?"

Just as Qiao Xixi was about to find a place to sit down, she heard his question.

"Yes, how does it taste?"

"Very good, very delicious."

"As long as you like it."

It's only right to be polite when you're under someone's roof.

Xi Jing ate only two pieces before placing the remaining fish and beast meat into Xi Ya's hands.

"Xiya, Father Beast is full, you can eat the rest."

Xi Ya pursed her lips, "The father beast only ate that little bit."

"Well, I'm full."

Josie spread out a fur blanket on a flat open space and placed the still-sleeping tiger cub on the blanket.

Xi Ya wrapped up the remaining fish and beast meat and placed it on the large rock behind Xi Jing. Then she turned around and walked to Qiao Xixi's side, looking at her expectantly.

Qiao Xixi felt sorry for the little mermaid. She empathized with her own children, as children without a mother always feel a sense of loss.

"Would you like to rest with me?"

Xiya nodded and sat down next to Qiao Xixi. She seemed to really like the smell of Qiao Xixi.

Qiao Xixi saw that her little face looked tired. Her father beast couldn't see, so she probably had to rely on her cub to take care of her usually. What a sensible little cub.

Xiya leaned against Qiao Xixi and was overcome with drowsiness. In the blink of an eye, she fell asleep next to the tiger cub.

"Why did you leave me?" Huh?
Qiao Xixi looked up in surprise and found that Xi Jing had indeed turned her face in her direction.

She pointed to herself, seemingly puzzled.

No, they've clearly just met for the first time, so why is she being made to look like a heartless woman who abandoned her husband and daughter?

Is it because I haven't done well enough?

After calming down, Qiao Xixi realized that he might be mistaking her for the female who had abandoned them.

Good heavens! He's so good-looking, yet he's love-struck. I wonder which heartless woman he's with. She's so ungrateful!

Could this merman have gone mad after being abandoned...?

"Why don't you speak?"

After thinking for a moment, Qiao Xixi finally spoke up: "I am not the female who abandoned you, you have made a mistake."

Xi Jing bit her lip, her fair face showing stubbornness, "I didn't mistake you!"

Alright, alright, she won't argue with the mentally unstable merman.

"It's whatever you say."

"So, now that you're back, will you leave again?"

"meeting."

As soon as Qiao Xixi finished speaking, he suddenly turned around and faced away from her.

Hey, you've got quite a temper!
Qiao Xixi suddenly regretted it. She originally wanted to come with Xiya to find out about this sea area, but who knew she would encounter a lunatic.

She should find an excuse to leave tomorrow; she has a baby with her and doesn't want to cause too much trouble.

Xi Jing turned his back and waited for a long time without hearing any movement behind him. He couldn't help but turn his head to look in the direction where Qiao Xixi was. Even though he couldn't see anything, he could still feel her presence.

She's still there.

Seeing that the two babies were sleeping soundly, Qiao Xixi was also a little sleepy. She felt like she hadn't slept well last night, so she lay down next to the two babies.

But reason told her that it was best to stay alert in an unfamiliar place, yet her eyelids still started to droop uncontrollably.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, a boastful voice suddenly came to her ear.

"Xi Jing, please say yes. I promised you I would treat you well."

Qiao Xixi was suddenly jolted awake by this scumbag's quote.

She sat up and confirmed that the sound was coming from outside the cave.

"That wicked female is here again, I'm going to chase her away." Xiya was also awakened, her little fists clenched tightly as she got up and rushed towards the cave entrance.

“Hey, Shioya.”

"Ding Dong"

"System limited-time mission: please protect the baby. Mission difficulty: 3 stars."

Qiao Xixi's expression changed slightly. "Are Qiao Lie and the others in danger?"

"Host, Qiao Lie's cubs are safe with your beastmen."

Qiao Xixi looked down at the snoring tiger cub and frowned. "Damn system, are you kidding me?"

"Host, what did I do? I was just issuing system tasks. Are you worried that the task for the baby's star-level advancement wasn't completed? It's okay, that task had no time limit, but this one does. You should complete this one first."

Qiao Xixi gritted her teeth, "So, which baby is the one I'm protecting?! Don't tell me it's the merman baby outside the cave?!"

"Um... what if I said yes... hehe, are you surprised or not?"

Qiao Xixi was about to argue with the little demon when she heard Xiya's exclamation from outside the cave.

Xi Jing heard the child's cry and tried to move anxiously, but as soon as he moved, he fell heavily off the boulder.

"Xiya, Xiya..."
