Chapter 554 Think it through before you speak

Downstairs, Joey had just finished showering when Scarlet Flame blocked her at the door.

Joey knew what he wanted to ask just by looking at him.

"Don't worry, Xixi and the others are safe in Tiger Beast City. They should be back soon."

During the meal, Joey had already told him about the general situation of Qiao Xixi and the others in Tiger Beast City, but Fei Yan did not tell him about Falcon Owl and the others going to Elephant Beast City.

Fei Yan was thinking about how to explain Falcon and the others' behavior to Joey in a more reasonable way.

Judging from Joey's expression, he probably doesn't know that the Joey system exists.

Seeing that Fei Yan was conflicted and didn't speak, Joey frowned and said, "Stop dawdling. Just spit it out."

Fei Yan clenched her fist before saying, "Falcon Owl went to Elephant Beast City with Sang Ze."

Although he had already sent people to chase after them, based on his understanding of Falcon and his men, the chasers were unlikely to catch up.

Joey paused, "What are they going to Elephant City for?"

Fei Yan could only say, "Yesterday we suddenly realized that Xi Xi might not be in Tiger Beast City anymore, so we guessed that she might have gone to Elephant Beast City."

After Fei Yan finished speaking, he looked up at Qiao Yi and found that Qiao Yi was looking at him like he was an idiot.

Joey snorted, "You'd better think carefully before you start lying to me."

Fei Yan choked. Was he being that obvious?

Joey crossed her arms and glanced at him, not urging him, just watching to see what other nonsense he could possibly spout.

Under Joey's glare, Scarlet Flame had no choice but to tell the truth.

“Father, it’s not that I wanted to hide this from you, it’s just that it concerns Xixi…”

When it came to matters concerning Josie, Joey became serious.

"If you can't say, then don't say anything. Just tell me the result."

Fei Yan frowned and said, "That's right. We all misunderstood that Xi Xi went to Elephant Beast City alone. We were worried that something might happen to Xi Xi, so Falcon Owl and Sang Ze immediately went to Elephant Beast City."

Joey's brows furrowed, probably knowing that what Fei Yan couldn't say was why they had misunderstood that Qiao Xixi had gone to Elephant Beast City alone.

“When I came with Junxuan, Xixi was still in Tiger Beast City.”

Qiao Xixi was almost always accompanied by Jin Lin or Xi Jing. Even if she were really kidnapped, Jin Lin and Xi Jing would not have been completely unresponsive.

At the very least, these two people can no longer be in Tiger Beast City.

But since it was his own son, Joey still took it to heart, even though he thought the possibility was slim.

"Have someone go to Tiger Beast City immediately to check on Xixi's condition."

Fei Yan said, "We've already sent people, but they haven't returned yet."

"Alright, go to sleep now."

Fei Yan nodded, relieved to be sure that Qiao Xixi was safe.

The next day, before dawn, the winged tribesmen patrolling above the tribe saw a black halo rapidly descend from the sky and crash heavily into the forest.

If they hadn't heard a loud commotion in the woods, they would have thought they were seeing things.

"Go and see what it is."

"Could it be a stone that fell from the sky?"

Several patrolling males quickly ran into the woods and saw from afar that a large crater had been smashed into a clearing in the forest.

There was a dark, indistinct thing in the pit, and I didn't know what it was.

"He is a male of the Winged Race."

Hearing the noise, Yunqiong stood up from the pit and shook off the dust.

He was enormous, and when he shook his head, a cloud of dust billowed up and hit several patrolling males, choking them so much they couldn't open their eyes.

"This is the Black Panther Tribe."

When the dust settled, Yun Qiong returned to human form. He was tall and slender, appearing to be half a head taller than even the burly bear-beastmen.

"Who are you?" Yun Qiong dusted himself off and said, "My name is Yun Qiong. I'm here to find Joey, who is also your clan leader's father beast."

Upon hearing this, the males exchanged glances. This winged male's origins were unknown, and they dared not directly lead him into the inner city.

"Come outside with us and wait a moment while we go inform them."

Yun Qiong didn't refuse and followed them out of the forest.

When the patrol of orcs came to deliver the message, Joey was making breakfast for the cubs.

Junxuan stood beside Qiao Lie at all times, seemingly never tiring of looking at him, his eyes always fixed on him.

"Who are you talking about? Yunqiong?"

Joey's voice was filled with surprise, and even Junxuan's attention was drawn to her words.

"How did Yunqiong end up here?"

Joey told them to bring Cloudfall over immediately.

"Could it be that the high priest sent him to protect the children?"

While the two were speculating, Yun Qiong walked in, looking somewhat surprised at the little ones circling around Joey.

"These are all your grandchildren?"

Joey placed the cooked meat on the table and gestured for the children to sit down.

The kids said they wanted to help him.

Yun Qiong watched this and shook his head in amazement, "Sure enough, people with kids are different."

After saying that, he turned around and saw that Falcon Xuan was following behind a snake cub. He opened his eyes wide and said, "You have one too??"

Hayabusa glanced at him coldly. "Yes."

The cloud-dwelling bird's feathers bristled. "Good heavens, all of you..."

Joey came out with bowls and chopsticks and asked Yunqiong, "What are you doing here?"

Yun Qiong said, "I've come to take you to Elephant Beast City."

Joey paused, "What are you going to Elephant City for?"

Yunqiong didn't really know what he was going to do, but he said, "The High Priest and your son have all gone to Elephant Beast City. They said they want me to come and pick you up, and also bring your grandchildren."

"Bring the little ones along?"

"Yes, this was requested by your son, Josh."

Joey's face darkened upon hearing this. Of course, he didn't think that Qiao Xixi was disregarding the lives of the cubs. He was just puzzled and worried, after all, Elephant Beast City was not a good place.

"Alright, let's eat first, and then we'll set off."

Yun Qiong sat down at the dining table on his own initiative, looked up at his little ones who were watching him, thought for a moment, and then picked up the meat on the plate and put it into their bowls.

“Come on, little ones, eat more. Only when you’re full can you go hunting wild beasts with your grandfather Yunqiong.”

The children looked at the sky, then at Joey.

Joey had no appetite and didn't want her emotions to affect the kids.

"Eat first."

When Fei Yan learned of Yun Qiong's arrival, he rushed back. After understanding Yun Qiong's purpose, he pulled Qiao Yi aside.

"Father Beast, is it possible that he's lying?"

Joey glanced at Yunqiong, who was eating even more enthusiastically than the babies, and shook her head.

“He won’t. We’ll set off after the babies have eaten their fill. You go and prepare some supplies now.”

"it is good."

Lost in thought, Joey felt someone tugging at his trouser leg. He looked down and saw the tiger cub that had crawled over at some unknown time.

Joey picked her up and pinched her little cheek. "What's wrong, An'an?"

The tiger cub tilted its head and suddenly started gesturing wildly and babbling.
