Chapter 418 Where Did the Monster Come From?
Qiao Xixi carefully put away the beast crystal, gripped the bone knife, and turned to attack first.

But soon, she was forcibly hugged by the other party.

Qiao Xixi was startled and instinctively wanted to resist, but when she felt the other person's presence, she paused and hugged his neck.

"Xi Jing!"

Xi Jing hugged Qiao Xixi even tighter. He had followed Qiao Xixi's location all the way here, and he never expected that he would actually find her.

"XiXi, I miss you so much."

Feeling his racing heartbeat, Qiao Xixi was overjoyed. "Me too."

Using the glow of the sea pearl, Xi Jing looked her up and down, and after confirming that she was not injured, she hugged her tightly again.

"It's okay."

"I'm fine, but you have so many wounds on your body."

Qiao Xixi looked at Xi Jing's arms, chest, and face with heartache. Although the wounds weren't serious, it was easy to imagine how many dangers he had encountered on his journey.

Xi Jing took her hand and kissed it. "Xi Xi, blow on it for me."

Qiao Xixi was genuinely distressed. "Let's get ashore first, and I'll apply the medicine to you once we're up there."

"Ah."

Meanwhile, Yunji, who was waiting on the shore, heard no movement from the water for a long time, and his expression darkened.

My first thought was about the dangers that Qiao Xixi might encounter.

He walked quickly to the riverbank, and just as he was about to go over to check, he heard a commotion on the water.

Qiao Xixi broke out of the water.

By the faint moonlight, Yunji looked at her radiant face and immediately turned away.

"You've already caused trouble once during the day, aren't you tired at night, why do you still want to cause trouble?"

"Priest".

Yunji froze, then turned around and saw Xijing walking towards him carrying Qiao Xixi.

Qiao Xixi leaned against him, quiet and well-behaved, completely unlike her usual mischievous self!
Yunji suddenly found Xijing to be a nuisance.

"Where did this monster come from?"

Seeing that Yunji had misunderstood, Qiao Xixi quickly explained, "No, High Priestess, Xijing is my beast husband."

High Priest!
As soon as the beastman arrived, she couldn't wait to distance herself from him.

Xi Jing's long, beautiful eyes fell on Yun Ji, and she narrowed them slightly.

"Priest, thank you for taking care of Sisi these past few days."

Yunji concealed his unusual aura, and his expression returned to its usual aloof and unapproachable state.

He didn't respond to Xi Jing, but looked at Qiao Xixi and said, "The night of the full moon will be here soon. We'll continue tomorrow."

Josh nodded. "I understand."

Yunji hummed in agreement and turned to leave.

After he walked away, Qiao Xixi leaned on Xi Jing's shoulder and let out a sigh of relief. "The High Priest was really scary just now, but oh well, a strict teacher produces outstanding students."

"What is Sisi learning from the high priest?"

After thinking for a moment, Qiao Xixi told Xi Jing everything that the Holy Priest had taught her in the dream.

"I didn't tell you before, because I didn't know who he was either."

Xi Jing's blue eyes flickered slightly, shimmering with a captivating softness under the moonlight.

"It seems that this priest is quite fond of Sisi."

Qiao Xixi was stunned. "No way, how did you figure that out?"

Xi Jing smiled radiantly, "Xi Xi, the High Priest doesn't teach things to just anyone."

That's because I'm different.

Xi Jing simply smiled, looking down at her directly, "Does Xi Xi like the High Priest?"

Qiao Xixi stared into those deep blue eyes, as if they could drown her, and cried out for help! Every time Xi Jing looked at her with those eyes, he would go crazy at night.

Although she does need Xi Jing to provide her with something right now, Yun Ji is still around, and she has her pride!

“Xi Jing, how could you ask that? How can I describe my feelings for the High Priest as mere liking? It has to be respect! He is someone I deeply respect, and most importantly…”

She whispered, "He promised me he would help me rescue my father beast. We mustn't give him a chance to betray us."

Seeing her calm expression and clear eyes, Xi Jing's smile deepened. "Alright, let's all respect the High Priest."

Qiao Xixi nodded, "Let's go back first and tell me properly what happened when we crossed the river."

"Ah."

There was only one cabin, and Qiao Xixi and Xi Jing couldn't possibly squeeze into the same room with Yun Ji. After hesitating for a long time, Qiao Xixi still took out the long tongue vine fruit and planted it in the ground.

She had been guarding the door before because she was worried that monsters would come. Now that Xi Jing was here, he wouldn't let her guard outside, so there was no need for her to make herself suffer.

After laying out thick animal hides in the vine shelter, Qiao Xixi pulled Xi Jing to sit down and examined his injuries.

It wasn't very clear when we were in the water, but now we can see that half of his back is covered in wounds.

Qiao Xixi pursed her lips tightly, feeling a dull ache in her heart.

They all faced such danger to help her rescue her father beast, yet they never uttered a single complaint.

Qiao Xixi carefully wiped the wounds, feeling extremely uncomfortable, but it seemed that these injuries were not serious. After using the strong healing gel, the wounds were visibly healing.

When Qiao Xixi picked up the mermaid gauze robe from the side to put it on him, he grabbed her hand.

"Xixi."

Qiao Xixi looked up and suddenly met those deep blue eyes, feeling her heart skip a beat.

Looking back, she must have been captivated by those beautiful eyes, which led her to gradually succumb to their allure.

When the cool kiss landed, the emptiness that Qiao Xixi had felt in her body these past few days was instantly awakened.

She even hugged his shoulders tightly to deepen the kiss.

The green vines grew longer and denser, almost completely blocking out the light that could penetrate into the shelter.

Xi Jing felt her fervor, wishing she could melt into her warm, moist blood and bones. Her body temperature was also rising rapidly, and her breaths rose and fell, like the most beautiful singing in the dead of night.

Qiao Xixi's eyes were misty, filled with deep love, as she waited for that important moment to arrive.

A warm, wet kiss landed on her ear, "XiXi..."

"Xixi."

Qiao Xixi was startled; every pore on her body contracted instantly, and her eyes, which had been full of moisture, became clear.

A flash of ferocity crossed Xi Jing's deep blue pupils as she grabbed a nearby animal skin blanket and wrapped it around Qiao Xixi.

Qiao Xixi took a deep breath and steadied her breathing.

"What, what's wrong?"

Yunji remained so calm that no emotion could be detected. "It's time for training."

Qiao Xixi: ? ?
Is it late at night?

Yunji's words were stern: "The full moon will be in two days, and you don't have much time left."

The important thing is to get down to business. Although Qiao Xixi also felt that absorbing Xi Jing's energy was also important, practicing was more urgent!

"I know, I'll come right away."

Qiao Xixi met Xi Jing's wet eyes in the blink of an eye. She looked up and kissed him on the lips. "Let's go out first."

Xi Jing gave a soft "hmm" and didn't say anything, but considerately took the clothes for her to put on.

When the two went out, Yunji was standing with his back to them. Hearing the noise, he turned around.

Even though Qiao Xixi had composed herself, she had still been moved, and there was still a trace of red in the corners of her eyes.

Yunji's breath hitched, and his expression became even more stern. "You come, he doesn't need to."

Thank you so much for the generous donations from both "Like You" and "ChaTu"!
