Chapter 479 Half-brother

The halo formed a strange rune in the air and suddenly passed through Josie's body.

The moment the halo passed through her body, a star-shaped pattern appeared on Yaoxi's arm.

Yunji stopped what he was doing and looked at the two of them.

"The initiation ceremony is over."

Yao Xi got up and walked over to Qiao Xixi.

“Xixi, with the Guardian Contract in place, you can rest assured. I know you won’t believe me anymore after I say this, but I really never intended to do anything to hurt you.”

"At this point, whether I believe you or not is completely unimportant, isn't it?"

Yao Xi choked, sighed helplessly, and ultimately said nothing more.

"High Priests, I have done what I promised you. Now, can you rest assured?"

"Ah."

After Yaoxi left, Yunji took Qiao Xixi back to his residence.

"Are the only two candidates for the royal heir now Yu Ye and Aunt Yao Xi?"

Qiao Xixi felt that Yu Ye must be a certain competitor to Yao Xi, otherwise why would she agree to form a guardian contract with her in order to get Yun Ji and the others' help?

"There's another person."

Qiao Xixi asked in confusion, "Who else?"

"Xue Che".

Qiao Xixi was stunned. "Xue Che? He's the Beast King's son? He's actually my half-brother?"

Yunji nodded. "Yes."

"Then... then why would he be like that? Could it be that his parents, who were also the Beast King, arranged for him to be hers, and she used him but then looked down on him?"

"more than."

"What other reasons?"

"Xue Che's father beast bears some resemblance to your father beast."

Qiao Xixi was speechless and laughed. The Beast King was hating everything about the house.

"Was Xue Che mistreated because the Beast King allowed it?"

Yunji raised his eyelids slightly and looked at Qiao Xixi, saying, "She was going to kill them before."

He wouldn't normally get involved in royal affairs, but that time, he still rescued the two and let them live in Beast King City.

However, as a high priest, he could not keep a close eye on their situation at all times and was unaware of the mistreatment they had been subjected to.

"As a descendant of the Beast King, he is also qualified to inherit the throne."

"Then, can I do it too?"

The reason Yaoxi let the fire burn towards the Feather Palace that night was simply because she was also of the Beast King's bloodline and was qualified to inherit the throne.

Each additional competitor means one more threat to her.

"do you want?"

Qiao Xixi quickly shook her head. She didn't want to think that if it weren't for the constraints imposed on her by her status as a stray beast, she wouldn't have become the tribe's chieftain. If it weren't for her purpose, she really wouldn't want to take on such a heavy responsibility.

Yunji glanced at the darkening sky outside and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Qiao Xixi glanced at the fruit on the table that she had eaten half of. She wasn't hungry before, but she had become hungry after running around.

"I'm hungry, shall we have some fruit tonight?"

Yunji stood up somewhat helplessly. "No, wait here, I'll be right back."

After speaking, Yunji walked down the stone steps and left the main hall.

Qiao Xixi was a little curious. This place looked otherworldly. Could there be a kitchen or something similar here?
Qiao Xixi picked up a piece of fruit from the table and started eating it.

Before long, she smelled a faint aroma of cooking.

She was astonished; there really was a kitchen here.

She walked out of the main hall and followed the scent to the back of the hall.

There was another small stone house behind it, and she vaguely saw Yunji's figure moving around inside.

Qiao Xixi didn't go inside. She found a stone bench to sit on, propped her head up with her hand, and ate fruit while watching the busy figures in the kitchen.

She thought Yunji was very clever, able to handle anything with ease. But...

She glanced at the somewhat flustered figure in the kitchen, swallowed the last bite of fruit, and then got up and went inside.

"What are you doing? Let me help."

Yunji was still holding a bone knife, looking like he was going to cut meat. The beast meat must have just been delivered; it looked very fresh. Fresh meat tastes good no matter how it's cooked.

Yunji looked at her, a fleeting look of embarrassment flashing across his eyes, but he quickly regained his usual composure.

“XiXi, teach me.”

If you don't know how, then learn. Hmm, not bad.

Qiao Xixi taught him how to cut the meat so that it would taste the best when grilled.

What should I put in when making soup to make it taste better?

Qiao Xixi only said it once, but Yunji remembered it all and did it very well.

She could simply sit on a stone stool nearby and start a fire.

Soon, she smelled the aroma of meat broth wafting from the pot.

I must say, his skills are almost as good as hers.

Yunji served all the food to a small stone table outside the kitchen.

Qiao Xixi rummaged through the fire and pulled out a few roasted yellow berries.

"Wow, it smells so good."

After setting out the bowls and chopsticks, Qiao Xixi sat down at the stone table.

She looked around; it was already getting dark. The beads on the stone wall shone with a soft white light under the moonlight, illuminating their corner.

Qiao Xixi took the stone bowl and served Yunji a large bowl of meat.

"Try it, you cooked this yourself."

Yunji took the stone bowl and nodded slightly. "Okay."

Yunji didn't know where Qiao Xixi had found some green leaves. She picked up a piece of roasted meat with the leaves, put it on the meat, added some fruit pieces, and then rolled up the leaves.

"Come on, open your mouth."

Yunji opened his mouth in response, but before he could react, a roasted meat and vegetable bun was stuffed into his mouth.

"It tastes even better this way."

As Qiao Xixi spoke, she wrapped one for herself and stuffed it into her mouth.

Yunji chewed slowly. With each bite, the first sensation was the freshness of green leaves, followed by the aroma of roasted meat, and then the sweet and sour taste of fruit. It was indeed a novel and delicious flavor.

"Is it tasty?"

Yunji nodded and ladled a bowl of soup for her using the stone bowl as well.

The leaves that Qiao Xixi used to wrap the roasted meat were vegetables she had previously stored in her spatial storage, which she had brought from the tribe.

The two of them were extremely satisfied with the meal.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Yunji led her to the forest below the main hall.

The mountains and forests are nearby, and there is a large natural pool here.

The view here is very expansive, and the entire moon is reflected on the water, making it feel like you are in the sky rather than in the water.

"Go wash, I'll wait for you on the shore."

"it is good."

After saying that, Yunji let go of her hand and turned around.

Qiao Xixi took off her animal skin coat and slowly walked into the water.

She had initially thought the water would be cold, but to her surprise, it was warm at such a high altitude. As her body was completely enveloped by the water, she felt completely relaxed.

After relaxing, she slowly sank into the water, intending to wash her hair as well.

After washing herself, she surfaced and looked towards the shore, only to find that during the washing process, she had drifted quite a distance from the shore.

Just as she was about to swim back, a shadow suddenly fell from the sky.

Qiao Xixi looked up and saw a pair of sharp claws rapidly grabbing towards her.
