Chapter 421 Cold, Hold Me Tight

When they returned to the shelter, Qiao Xixi subconsciously looked towards the wooden house, wondering if Yunji had come back.

The door to the wooden house was slightly ajar, and one could see inside at a glance, but Yunji was not there; he had not returned yet.

Qiao Xixi frowned. Tomorrow is the night of the full moon. Will he be able to show up on time?
Falcon took in all the changes in Qiao Xixi's expression, and then indifferently glanced at the shelter next to the wooden house.

"Xixi, where do you live?"

Qiao Xixi snapped out of her daze and pointed to the shelter, "The wooden house is for the high priest. Xi Jing and I are staying in the shelter."

The falcon hummed in agreement, then coiled its long tail around her and placed her on the ground, transforming back into human form.

Jin Lin and Xi Jing finished dealing with the fish beast and started a fire, while Fei Yan went to the woods behind to gather firewood. Sang Ze followed Fei Yan, intending to patrol the surrounding area.

Qiao Xixi returned to the shelter with Falcon. As soon as they entered, she took out the healing gel and treated Falcon's wounds.

When she lifted his fur coat and saw the long scratch on his abdomen, Josie looked up, her eyes slightly red.

His indifferent snake-like eyes met her reddened eyes, and he gently cupped her face, saying, "It's just a minor injury."

The wound ran through his entire abdominal muscle; it was no small injury. He must not have treated it properly when he was first injured, as the wound looked red, swollen, and inflamed.

She gently patted his hand away with heartache, rinsed the wound with the spiritual spring water, and then carefully applied the medicine.

As she moved, Falcon Owl kept his eyes down, looking at her as if he could never get enough of her.

After bandaging the wound with gauze, she looked up at him with a clear and innocent expression.

"what happened?"

Falcon held her waist and forcefully pulled her into his arms. His cool lips pressed down on hers, and all his longing was released in that moment.

Qiao Xixi no longer suppressed her longing for him and gently responded to his kiss until their breathing became rapid. Only then did Qiao Xixi gently push him away to catch her breath.

She had barely caught her breath when his domineering kiss pressed down on her again.

Qiao Xixi really wanted to let loose, but since it was broad daylight, she had to restrain herself!

"Wait, wait, everyone's waiting outside."

Falcon didn't let go of her, but instead pulled her into his arms, released her lips, and kissed her ear. Qiao Xixi's eyelashes trembled, and she involuntarily shrank into his arms.

Just when Qiao Xixi thought that Falcon wouldn't let her off so easily, Falcon restrained himself and kissed her forehead, then picked her up and asked, "Before Xijing came, were you always with the High Priest?"

Qiao Xixi raised her head, her misty eyes staring blankly at him, the emotions still lingering in her eyes, making even the crimson snake pupils darken slightly.

"Yes, the monster possessed the Kunlin and attacked me, but the high priest appeared in time to save me."

"The High Priest? Why didn't he leave the forest immediately after escaping from the monster?" Crimson Flame poked her head in from outside the door.

Qiao Xixi frowned and shook her head. "I don't know. Maybe they wanted to completely eliminate the monsters in the forest. What did you encounter when you crossed the river? Tell me quickly."

After Falcon Owl finished speaking with Scarlet Flame and Qiao Xixi, the aroma of grilled fish and beast meat wafted in.

"Xixi, come out and eat something first."

"it is good."

As night fell, Qiao Xixi and Jin Lin sat around the campfire.

Jin Lin placed the fish and animal meat, which had already been deboned, in front of her.

While eating, Qiao Xixi told them about what had happened these past few days, including Yunji's teachings to her and how she was asked to purify the water source.

“I promised Yunji that I would purify the polluted water source, and he helped me rescue my father beast from the watchtower.” After hearing this, Jin Lin raised his eyes and asked, “In other words, when the moon is full tomorrow night, the monsters in the forest will be at their strongest, and at that time, at least half of the beast guards in the watchtower will come to the forest to deal with the monsters.”

Josh nodded. "Mm."

Should we wait for the high priest to return before we act?

Qiao Xixi frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "I don't know if he can come back in time. If not, we'll go outside the watchtower and see what happens."

"Ah."

As night fell, after a quick wash, Josie returned to the shelter and lay down on the animal skin mat.

It's strange, maybe it's because Falcon and the others are there that she feels safe. She was full of energy at this time just a moment ago, but now she's so sleepy that she can't keep her eyes open.

When Qiao Xixi entered the shelter, Jin Lin and the others were still sitting by the campfire studying the topographical map of the watchtower that Qiao Xixi had obtained from the little demon.

“From here to the watchtower, we have a long way to go by land and water.”

Of the five, Xi Jing is the best swimmer, followed by Jun Xiao. Although Jin Lin and the others can also swim, their combat strength will be reduced if they fight underwater.

Xi Jing said, "I will lead the way, with Falcon Owl carrying Xi Xi, Sang Ze protecting us from behind, and Jin Lin and Fei Yan on the left and right respectively. The journey by land and water is long, and if all goes well, we should be able to reach the watchtower before dawn."

None of the males had any objections to Xi Jing's arrangements.

The falcon's serpentine eyes shifted, landing indifferently on Xi Jing.

Do you think the high priest will come?

Xi Jing frowned, thinking of the priest's strange attitude towards Qiao Xixi. "I don't know. It's best if he doesn't come."

Jin Lin raised an eyebrow, instantly understanding the meaning behind Xi Jing's words, "The High Priest is the most powerful priest in the entire Beast World, and he cannot form a contract with any female, otherwise, he will lose..."

"Jin Lin, what are you talking about? Why aren't you resting yet?"

Jin Lin turned to look at Qiao Xixi, who was peeking out from the shelter. She was still sleepy and clearly exhausted.

Several males stood up and walked toward her, but the shelter was too small to accommodate everyone.

Jin Lin looked at Qiao Xixi and asked, "Xixi, who do you want to keep you company tonight?"

Qiao Xixi was very sleepy, but she was startled when she heard this. Her eyes quickly swept across the faces of the men, and she quickly shrank her head into the shelter. She said in a muffled voice, "Whoever is sleepy can come in. I can't go on. I'm going to sleep first."

Several males had a dark glint in their eyes. If they were still in the tribe, no one would be able to easily enter this door now, but...

Jin Lin turned around and walked to the fire, picked up a burning piece of firewood, and said, "I'll go take a look around."

The falcon's snake-like eyes flickered slightly, and it walked to the back of the shelter. "I'll guard the back."

In the end, it was Sanze who went to the shelter.

Qiao Xixi was almost asleep when Sang Ze hugged her from behind, and she subconsciously leaned closer to him.

Sang Ze stiffened. Qiao Xixi sensed this subtle change in him and knew who it was. She took his hand and hugged him.

"cold."

Upon hearing this, Sang Ze disregarded his shyness and quickly pressed himself against her, asking, "Xi Xi, are you still cold?"

"It's cold, hold me tight."

Qiao Xixi turned around and threw herself into his arms. She wasn't lying; ever since her body energy was depleted, her body temperature had been a little low. Sang Ze also felt it and wanted to pull the animal skin blanket to cover Qiao Xixi, but his hand froze halfway through the air.
