Chapter 376 Xixi, She Can Be Shy
Green light continuously emanated from Qiao Xixi's body. Qiao Xixi suddenly opened her eyes and felt a power gathering in her palm.

"wind."

The green halos connected in the air, continuously forming an encircling circle, which stirred up a breeze.

At first, the wind was a gentle breeze that brushed past without leaving a trace, but as the halo of light entangled faster, the wind speed also increased.

Qiao Xixi kept silently chanting the incantation in her heart, feeling the wind passing through every part of her body. At this moment, she felt as if she had become one with the wind.

"A strong wind is blowing!"

"huhuhuhu"

Suddenly, a strong wind arose, and Qiao Xixi, with her eyes open, could clearly see everything outside the strong wind, something she had never seen before.

Seeing in strong winds—would that be considered an advanced skill of hers?
"Stop the wind."

The howling wind that was just a second ago stopped in the next instant.

Qiao Xixi looked at her hands with surprise and delight, and picked up the file to continue studying.

At this moment, from a distance of thousands of miles away, it appears to be a palace floating in the clouds.

Cloud Trace, clad in white feathers, sat cross-legged under a towering tree. Starlight filtered through the dense branches, scattering across his white feathers and refracting into colorful halos.

A gentle breeze suddenly swept over him, causing the fallen leaves to drift and float down.

He opened his eyes and reached out to catch the fallen leaf.

A beastman dressed in black feathered robes walked to the foot of the tree and bowed respectfully to Yunji.

"Holy Priest, the Beast King has sent someone to inquire about the progress of preparations for the Sun Ridge ceremony."

Looking at the half-withered leaf in his palm, Yunji said calmly, "Isn't the sacrifice for Yanri still some time away? There's no need to make any preparations now."

The orc frowned slightly and said, "What the Beast King means is that it hasn't rained in Beast King City for a long time, and he hopes that the Holy Priest can hold a sacrificial ceremony as soon as possible to ask the Beast God for rain."

Yunji suddenly clenched the fallen leaves in his hand and stood up. "Is the rainwater we prayed for really safe?"

The orc glanced at Yunji and then quickly lowered his head. "The Beast King said that, in order to show his piety, he has instructed the orcs to send out a message, asking all the city lords of beast cities and the chieftains of medium and large tribes to go to Beast King City to participate in the sacrifice."

Yun Ji frowned slightly. "The message has already been sent?"

"Yes, it's on its way."

Yunji paused for a moment, then said, "Never mind, go and prepare."

"Yes."

The orc left, and Yunji opened his palm, looking at the withered yellow leaf. "It's only the hot season, and the leaves are already turning yellow. Is that really the only way left?"

With a flick of her slender, pale fingers, the fallen leaves instantly turned to ash.

……

As dawn broke, the orcs of the Black Panther Tribe returned to the tribe carrying their prey. Just as they reached the gate, they saw a group of disheveled orcs being stopped outside the tribe.

"We are orcs from the Forest Tribe. We have traveled a very, very long way to get here. We beg the tribe chief to allow us to stay in the tribe."

“We are from the Yellow Fox tribe, and we are willing to submit to larger tribes. There are also males in our tribe who have awakened their beast souls, so please let us stay.”

Scarlet Flame walked through the crowd to the guarding orc and asked about the situation.

"What? Three tribes of orcs have arrived at once?"

"Yes, Lady Feiyan, I asked around, and they all said that their previous tribes were no longer suitable for living, so they migrated here."

Fei Yan glanced at the crowd. There were too many. Although the Black Panther Tribe could accommodate them, taking in so many foreign beasts could easily cause internal turmoil within the tribe. They should consider this carefully.

"Stop them first, I'll go talk to the clan leader." During this time, Qiao Xixi spent almost all her time in her room except for eating, bathing, and using the toilet.

To others, she appeared to be sleeping in her room, but only Jin Lin and the others knew that she was actually practicing martial arts.

As soon as Qiao Xixi woke up, she heard a familiar set of footsteps outside the door.

Sure enough, the door was pushed open the next moment, and Jin Lin walked in carrying a basin of hot water.

"Xixi is awake."

Qiao Xixi couldn't help but laugh when she saw how punctual he was. "How did you know I would wake up at this time?"

"These past two days."

Jin Lin used a warm animal skin cloth to wash her up, and Qiao Xixi quietly let him do as he pleased until she was dressed.

"Where are Falcon and the others? Are they still training in the mountains?"

Jin Lin nodded. They all wanted to go to the watchtower to rescue the people as soon as possible, but as Huang Yue said, given the disparity in strength, going there rashly would only lead to their deaths. It would be better to maximize their own strength first.

They had already calculated how long it took Joey to reach the opposite mountain. Putting aside everything else, they needed to be at least as fast as Joey.

In combat, the key to survival lies in suppressing energy and dodging speed; one of these two factors must be prioritized.

Therefore, the falcons and owls trained their speed at different times.

"Yes, I won't be back until tonight."

Qiao Xixi had been practicing, so every time she woke up she felt exhausted and had no energy to spare.

This upgrade has been incredibly costly.

Jin Lin saw that she was not in good spirits and wouldn't let her go out. Just as he was about to go and get the food, Kun Lin came in with a hot meal.

As soon as Qiao Xixi smelled the aroma of the food, her stomach growled; it seemed like she hadn't eaten for a day and a night.

"It's been heated up, you can eat it." Kunlin placed the food on the table.

Jin Lin's eyes flickered as he glanced at Kun Lin indifferently.

Kunlin seemed oblivious to his gaze, turning around without looking back and waiting outside.

Just as Qiao Xixi was about to pick up her chopsticks, Jin Lin took them from her first, and she looked up in confusion.

"what happened?"

Jin Lin sat down beside her with a gentle expression, picked up a piece of meat from his bowl, and blew on it.

"I feed you."

Qiao Xixi was both amused and exasperated. "Jin Lin, I'm not An An. Can't I eat by myself?"

Jin Lin just smiled but didn't hand her the chopsticks. "You're too tired. Just open your mouth and eat."

Alright, alright, why should she refuse such personal service from her beast husband? Besides, she was indeed tired, so she simply leaned against Jin Lin's chest and let him feed her bite by bite.

Kunlin stood outside the door, listening to the sounds inside. His face remained icy, but upon closer inspection, one could see a hint of sadness in his cold eyes that he himself was unaware of.

Only when the noise in the room subsided did his tense face relax slightly.

Sensing the male approaching from behind, Kunlin regained his previous icy demeanor.

The bowl and chopsticks were handed to him, and Jin Lin smiled gently as always, "Thank you for your help. Please don't bring the bowl and chopsticks back up after you take them down. Xixi... will be shy."

After saying that, he turned and went into the house, closing the door behind him.
