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

Chapter 257 She is not my mistress

"What I mean is, you've been taking care of Xiya for so long, and I'm just taking her away like this, won't you...?"

"I will come to see you."

Hearing their conversation, Xi Ya felt even more upset, and she threw herself into Xi Jing's arms.

"I don't want to leave my father beast either."

A dark look flashed across Xi Jing's face. "Xi Ya, stay with the female and mother for now. We'll come find you after we've dealt with things with the father beast."

"really?"

"Ah."

With Xi Jing's assurance, Xi Ya finally stopped crying and started smiling.

"Xixi, don't worry about the salt fields. I will deliver the mined salt crystals to the Black Panther tribe later. Our merfolk don't need salt crystals, so please don't refuse me, okay?"

Qiao Xixi hummed in agreement, "Thank you, Xijing."

Xi Jing smiled faintly, "No, Xi Xi, I should thank you, so please don't feel apologetic towards me."

Hearing him say that made Qiao Xixi feel even more uneasy. She felt like she was a bad person who had taken the child away. But thankfully, Xiya was willing to go to the tribe with her first.

As for Xi Jing, she could only try her best to make it up to him.

"Let's go back first, the tide will be coming soon."

"Ah."

Xi Jing escorted Qiao Xixi and the others to the outside of the wooden house, but did not approach them again.

"Why don't you stay and have dinner with us?"

Xi Jing shook her head, "I already bothered you last night, so I won't go over. I still have things to take care of in Yantian."

"Okay, you can go ahead and get busy. Just let me know if you need any help."

"it is good."

Xi Jing only turned and left after Qiao Xixi's figure disappeared into the sinking night.

But he hadn't been gone long when Xi Ming emerged from the shadows.

He had come to deliver food to Qiao Xixi and the others, but when he arrived, he sensed that something was off about their atmosphere. He didn't see Qiao Xixi and Xi Jing either, so he waited on the road.

"Big brother."

Xi Jing stopped and turned to Xi Ming. "Mm."

"Big brother, I heard from my sister-in-law's other children that they're leaving soon, is that right?"

"Ah."

"Is your older brother going to leave with them too?"

Xi Jing shook her head.

Xi Ming looked surprised. "Big brother, aren't you going to leave with your female master?"

Xi Jing interrupted him softly, "Xi Ming, Xi Xi is not my mistress."

Xi Ming frowned. He knew the two hadn't formed a contract, but he felt that since they both had Xi Ya, forming a contract was only a matter of time. Moreover, he could tell that his older brother really cared about Qiao Xixi.

"Big brother..."

“Xi Ming, our Merfolk clan was severely damaged before. Besides the evil deeds of Tiger Beast City and Huang Ying, the Shark Beast clan also contributed a lot. Now, our important territory is still in the hands of the Shark Beast clan. If I can’t take back the territory, how can I live up to the trust that the Merfolk clan has placed in me?”

Xi Ming's fists clenched as she listened.

"This time, thanks to Xixi and her beast husband's help, we reclaimed the salt fields. That's already troubled them enough. Let's take care of the rest ourselves. She... is a very, very good female. She will definitely be able to take good care of Xiya."

Now, his future is uncertain, and everything he did before was nothing but self-indulgence. Now, that beautiful dream should end.

When it was time for bed at night, Qiao Xixi could clearly sense that Xiya was still in a bad mood, so she held her in her arms and gently coaxed her. After a while, the little one finally fell asleep.

Qiao Xixi lay in bed with her eyes closed, but she couldn't sleep. She kept thinking about Xijing's situation and then about the Black Panther tribe. "Xixi?"

Falcon's cold voice rang out in the darkness. Tonight, Qiao Xixi and Zai Zai had returned to the cabin to sleep, and Falcon was responsible for keeping watch inside. He knew that Qiao Xixi hadn't slept, and judging from her tossing and turning, she must have something on her mind.

"Ok?"

Falcon got up and walked to the window, and Qiao Xixi sat up as well.

"Can't sleep?"

Qiao Xixi nodded and stretched out her hands to him.

Falcon picked her up from the group of children, turned around and lay down on the animal skin blanket on the ground. He held her in his arms and gently stroked her back with his cool palms.

"Don't overthink it. No matter what happens, we'll be there for you."

Qiao Xixi leaned against him, smelling the faint scent of grass on him, and her troubled heart finally calmed down.

"it is good."

A dreamless night.

It's rare that when Qiao Xixi woke up today, the kids and Falcon were still there.

Several cubs were gathered around the bed, curiously watching the tiger cub who had already transformed. She was also happily playing with her older brothers and sisters, and when she was amused, her two little ears twitched, which was incredibly cute.

Falcon came in carrying a clean animal skin garment.

"They've all changed their clothes and gone out to eat."

The children responded in unison.

"Good~"

Xi Ya and Qiao Qiao, the two older sisters, also thoughtfully dressed their youngest sister in a close-fitting animal skin coat. This coat was made by Jin Lin overnight. Although it wasn't particularly exquisite, it fit her perfectly.

Seeing that the children had all gone out, Qiao Xixi got up and changed her clothes.

Falcon brought her water to wash up.

After wiping her face clean, Qiao Xixi looked up and met Junxiao's serious expression. She just smiled at him.

Seeing her silly appearance, Falcon's cold and stern expression softened.

"What are you laughing at now?"

Qiao Xixi threw the animal hide into the wooden basin, cupped his face and kissed him hard, then quickly stepped back.

That kiss was so intense that the snake could barely suppress the urge to kiss.

“Falcon, you were right last night. No matter what happens, as long as we are family, we can overcome anything.”

"Ah."

"Let's go eat."

In the following days, Qiao Xixi worked hard to refine the seven-colored salt crystals, and Xi Jing also personally led the merfolk to find a large number of refining materials.

After the incident of the tiger cubs going missing, Jin Lin and the others were no longer comfortable leaving Qiao Xixi and her daughter alone in the cabin. So, two beastmen stayed behind to keep them company each day, while Qiao Lie and the others continued to go to the Seven-Colored Salt Fields to help, trying to mine more salt crystals before leaving.

The work of refining crystals in the salt fields only came to an end after both large boxes were filled.

Qiao Xixi put one of the boxes into her spatial storage, and the other box was for Xi Jing.

Besides the refined crystals, they will also take some salt crystals with them when they leave, which is something the tribe needs.

When Qiao Xixi came out of the wooden house, Jin Lin and the others had already packed everything up.

In fact, she took most of the things out of her space. Apart from the salt crystal, there was nothing she absolutely had to take with her.

Before setting off, Qiao Xixi and Xiya waited outside the wooden house, and they saw a figure walking over from afar.

But when he got closer, a look of disappointment appeared in Xiya's eyes.
