Chapter 313 Can You Do It?

His azure pupils, when looking at Xi Jing again, held a hint of approval.

"How did you recognize me?"

"During the day, I scratched my father beast and smelled your scent."

Joey slowly walked up to him, frowning as she looked at the white veil over his eyes. "You brat, you haven't forgotten? What's wrong with your eyes?"

Sensing Joey's approach, Xi Jing lowered her head slightly.

"I was injured when I protected Xixi when she left."

When Joey spoke of Josh, her voice softened. "Josh...is braver and smarter than I thought. How have you been all these years?"

Xi Jing looked guilty. "I'm sorry, Father Beast. I didn't protect Xi Xi back then. After I pushed the ice floe where she was, I lost contact with Xi Xi in order to entangle those beastmen. Afterwards, I lost some of my memories. It wasn't until recently that I saw Xi Xi again and regained my memories from back then."

The concise words felt like needles piercing Joey's heart.

He dared not imagine how Xixi had managed all these years.

"Father Beast, what happened back then? Where have you been all these years? And how did you find your way to the Black Panther Tribe?"

Joey's pupils instantly darkened. "After I shook them off, I found Xixi and discovered that she seemed to have lost some of her memories. I was afraid that the orcs would come after us again, so I took her to the Black Panther tribe. I thought we could have some peace and quiet for a while, but who knew that after only a few months, they would find my presence again and come after us."

In desperation, he took Xixi into the abyss of despair, but those people were determined to capture them. He was no match for them and could only let Xixi hide on her own.

Later, after he lured the orcs away, he went back and took Sisi away.

Joey let out a heavy sigh. "But they still found us. We weren't so lucky that time. I got caught, and I had to let Sisi escape on her own... All these years, I've been kept in the watchtower by them. I finally found a chance to escape."

After escaping the watchtower, he went to find Josie immediately, but when he passed through the Black Panther tribe, he felt something was strange, so he sneaked into the tribe.

He originally just wanted to see what was going on in the tribe, but he inadvertently smelled the scent of Xixi's bloodline!

"Hmph, that old fox was carrying my grandsons on his shoulders, one on each side, grinning from ear to ear. Didn't you see the other grandson staring longingly at him? He's obviously an old fool with no experience raising kids!"

Xi Jing: ...

"The father beast has stayed in the tribe and hasn't left. He's probably waiting for Xixi."

"Of course."

Although he was surprised and happy to see his grandson, he was even more eager to see his little female cub.

"The father beast saw Xixi today, why didn't he recognize her? Xixi would be very happy to know that the father beast is still alive."

Joey let out a deep breath. It wasn't that he didn't want to admit it, but he was worried that if he revealed his presence, the orcs would find him.

"I'm afraid I'll implicate Xixi." His aura was too strong and easily detected, so he had been hiding it ever since arriving at the tribe.

"Xi Jing, don't tell Xi Xi about what happened to me."

Xi Jing frowned. "Father Beast probably doesn't know about Xi Xi's current situation. Let me explain to Father Beast slowly."

"Ah."

The two jumped onto a large tree and sat down. The night breeze rustled the leaves, which also masked Xi Jing's soft words.

When he heard something exciting, Joey's aura instantly leaked out, attracting the patrolling beastmen to come over.

Joey quickly concealed his presence and moved Xijing to a quieter place.

"You mean, Tiger Beast City is always thinking about attacking Xixi and the others?"

"Yes, there are many things I didn't get to experience with Xixi; Feiyan told me about them."

Joey clenched her fists tightly. "Jinwei's heart is smaller than a pinhole. Xixi has made him suffer repeatedly, he will definitely not let it go. Humph, useless thing, he is not even as good as a hair of my Xixi."

"Does Father Beast also know the city lord of Tiger Beast City?"

Joey snorted, "He's just a defeated opponent. You figure out a way to get me to stay by Xixi's side tomorrow."

He had initially been afraid that Xixi would be implicated, but now that he knew Xixi's situation, how could he leave with peace of mind? Xijing was delighted, "Father Beast, are you planning to tell Xixi?"

Joey shook his head. "Don't tell anyone my identity. The orcs guarding the watchtower are not simple."

Xi Jing didn't try to persuade him any further. He knew Joey's strength well. He had said that the beastman was no ordinary beastman, so his strength was definitely not to be underestimated.

"The father beast has already made direct contact with Jin Lin and the others, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to persuade them..."

Before Xi Jing could finish speaking, he felt Qiao Yi's intense gaze on him, and he immediately shut up.

“Xi Jing, you’re a bit weak, but you’re supposed to be Xi Xi’s first beast husband. How come you don’t have the ability to persuade the other beast husbands? If you don’t even have that ability, then I’ll find a way myself.”

Xi Jing's jawline was clenched tightly. "No need, Father Beast, don't worry, I will make sure you can live in the inner city legitimately."

Joey patted him on the shoulder. "Okay, I trust you. Come find me here if you need anything."

"Ah."

When Xi Jing returned to the inner city, it was almost dawn.

He had just stepped upstairs when he sensed the presence of Crimson Flame in the hallway.

"Crimson Flame? You were waiting for me?"

Fei Yan was in a great mood, leaning against the railing of the corridor with her arms crossed. Upon hearing this, she rolled her eyes.

"Why would I wait for you? I'm waiting for Jin Lin."

Xi Jing raised an eyebrow, clearly smelling Xi Xi's strong scent on him.

The naive fox probably just wants to show off in front of that smiling tiger.

But being naive has its advantages.

Xi Jing walked to Fei Yan's side, leaned on the armrest, and slowly said, "I've caught the stray beasts that have been stealing food in the tribe recently."

Fei Yan's eyes narrowed. "You caught him? Where?"

"Don't worry, this might be a misunderstanding."

The fox-like eyes narrowed. "Misunderstanding? What are you trying to say?"

"He was a wandering orc who saved me and Xixi in our early years."

Fei Yan frowned and took a step closer to Xi Jing, "You should know what you're saying."

Xi Jing said without changing her expression, "Yes, it was something that happened when I was with Xi Xi and the father beast many years ago. You don't know, but Xi Xi should remember."

The doubt in Fei Yan's eyes did not diminish; whether it was true or not, Xi Xi herself had to confirm it.

"Where have you placed him now?"

“In the empty house of the tribe, after dawn, I will let Xixi go to see him.”

Fei Yan remained noncommittal, but didn't think Xi Jing would do anything to hurt Qiao Xixi.

It's not that the two sides trust each other much now, but Xi Jing has already formed a bond with Xi Xi. If Xi Xi has something to do, he has to do it too. But he felt that this matter was too coincidental. In addition, Xi Jing is a cunning person, so he instinctively suspected that he was hiding something.

When Jin Lin woke up and opened the door to see Fei Yan waiting outside, for the first time, he couldn't keep his composure.

This amused Fei Yan, who wasn't about to miss the chance to make fun of him.

"Jin Lin, you're not up to par. I'll have the hunting team catch some more deer for you so you can get some nourishment."

Jin Lin's eye twitched, his gaze sharpening as he glared at Fei Yan.

Fei Yan was overjoyed and happily ran off to cook.

Jin Lin's gaze shifted to Xi Jing, but his tiger-like eyes darkened when he smelled the scent emanating from him.
