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

Chapter 269 What is a Sense of Belonging?

"I'm."

The cubs were quite surprised to see Josie nod.

"Then, so you don't want the Black Panther Tribe anymore?"

"Of course not. I was just away temporarily for some things. Now that I'm back, I'll gradually make the tribe better and better."

Hearing what Qiao Xixi said, the fear on the cubs' faces disappeared, and they all looked at her with joy.

Do you still have family members in the tribe?

The cubs shook their heads, their thin little faces filled with frustration.

"Neither the female nor the male beast want us anymore, because we are not strong enough..."

“We can only stay here and wait to die, but chieftain, we don’t want to die.”

Josie patted one of the cubs on the head, feeling a tightness in her chest. Due to food scarcity, some beastmen would abandon the weakest of their cubs.

Josie had the cubs lead them to where they now lived.

The stone houses in the more remote parts of the tribe were not affected by the previous great battle, and the houses were relatively well preserved.

These orphans all live here.

Qiao Xixi asked Fei Yan to take out half of the meat she brought and cut it into small pieces to distribute to the cubs.

After they finished eating, Qiao Qiao took the initiative to check their health and treated those who were sick or injured.

"Are you all full?"

The cubs nodded, and even the sick cubs recovered their vitality under Qiao Qiao's treatment.

“From now on, the chief will try his best to provide you with food, but you will also help the chief, okay?”

"Alright, I'll help the clan leader."

"I want it too, I want it too."

Qiao Xixi made an appointment with them to wait outside the inner city at this time tomorrow. She also asked them to tell the cubs who were not here today that they would go to the inner city together. After giving these instructions, Qiao Xixi and the others left.

"What does the female mother need them to do?"

Qiao Xixi held Qiao Qiao's hand and said, "There is a lot they can do. In the future, we will all live in the same tribe. Let them participate in the construction of the tribe so that they will feel a sense of belonging to the tribe."

"Mother, what is a sense of belonging?"

Qiao Xixi picked her up, kissed her on the cheek, and smiled, "It feels like home. Only when you truly treat the tribe as your home can you build it better. I hope it gets better and better."

Qiao Qiao nodded as if she understood, "I understand, Mother. From now on, the Black Panther Tribe will be our home, and we will make it better."

"it is good."

As they continued down, they encountered some older orcs, more numerous than the cubs. Although many of them were old, they were not incapacitated; they were simply less mobile than the young orcs.

"Chieftain, it really is the chieftain!"

"The clan leader has returned; she has really returned."

Two male deer-beastmen recognized Josie, and their previously cloudy and dull eyes brightened.

Soon, the other orcs who heard the sound gathered around.

"Chieftain, you're finally back! The tribe is in a terrible state now."

"Yes, we are a bit short of people now, but it's okay, things will get better gradually."

Josie instructed Scarlet Flame to distribute the meat to them and to gather outside the inner city the next day. Everyone was delighted to receive the food, as it gave them renewed hope for survival.

Although I had heard about the situation in the tribe from Sangze and the others, seeing it with my own eyes still made me feel a little heavy-hearted. The most urgent task was to solve the problem of feeding so many people in the tribe.

As Qiao Xixi was thinking, someone suddenly rushed towards her from the roadside.

Qiao Xixi immediately grabbed Qiao Qiao and quickly retreated, while Fei Yan, having transformed into her beast form, stepped forward and swatted her to the ground with a single claw.

The opponent also transformed into beast form and began fighting with Crimson Flame.

However, since Crimson Flame was a high-level beast soul, the male gray wolf beast was no match for him and was quickly knocked to the ground by Crimson Flame.

"Mistress, hurry, take the cubs and go!"

The male gray wolf roared, and only then did Josh notice that behind a dilapidated stone wall, a female long-eared beast was huddled there, shivering and holding two cubs.

Upon hearing the male gray wolf's voice, she was so frightened that she turned around and wanted to run away, but she couldn't bear to leave the male gray wolf, and for a moment she stayed where she didn't know what to do.

Qiao Xixi smelled the scent of the Exile Flower; they were all wandering beasts.

"Wait, are you stray beasts from elsewhere?"

"So what if we're stray beasts? Why don't you go to all the vacant places in this tribe? Why do you have to rob our stone houses?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xixi signaled Fei Yan to release the male gray wolf beast.

“I am the chief of this tribe, not here to steal the stone house.”

Upon hearing this, the male gray wolf looked at Qiao Xixi in surprise, "They all say that the Black Panther tribe has been abandoned, and you, as the chieftain, did not leave with your people?"

Josh shook her head. "Some things happened in the tribe before, but I won't leave. When did you arrive here?"

The male gray wolf said they came when most of the orcs in the tribe had left, and they had been living in this stone house at the back.

"Then why did you attack me for no reason just now?"

The male gray wolf was a little embarrassed. "These past few days, other stray beasts have been coming to try and take over our stone house. I thought you were too. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you."

“Bring your mistress over; she looks terrified.”

The male gray wolf nervously approached the long-eared rabbit female, said something to her, and then led her to Josh.

"Chief, please allow us to stay in the tribe. Our cubs are still young, and it is too dangerous outside. Although we are wandering beasts, we will never harm any beastmen on our own initiative."

"Do you know how many stray beasts like you have come to the tribe?"

The male gray wolf nodded and said, "There are some, probably over a hundred in total. Most of them just want a safe place to live, except for those few black bear beasts."

"Black Bear Beast?"

"Correct."

"Hey, what are you still doing here? I told you yesterday that I've got my eye on this stone house of yours. Get out of here right now."

No sooner had the male gray wolf finished speaking than a rough roar sounded from behind him.

When Qiao Xixi turned around, she saw several very burly male black bear beasts walking over.

The female long-eared rabbit turned deathly pale upon seeing the male black bear beasts.

Fei Yan had already silently blocked Qiao Xixi's path.

Several male black bear beasts also noticed Qiao Xixi and the others. Their dark eyes narrowed warily when they met Fei Yan's gaze.

"The two females stay. The rest, get out if you don't want to die."

Fei Yan laughed. Some reckless males were actually trying to take advantage of Xi Xi right in front of him. He should teach them a lesson. If the leopards found out when he got back, they would laugh at him to death.
