Let me hold Qiaoqiao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Lin Mu carrying all the food, Jin Ling’s hands were now free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi glanced at the soundly sleeping Qiao Qiao and said softly, \"No, it’s fine. The cub is very light.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Ling actually wanted to carry Qiao Xixi, but he knew she would refuse. So, he turned and picked up the two cubs, Qiao Ang and Qiao Lie, instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Lie and Qiao Ang had been riding on Jin Ling’s back for the past few days, so they didn’t resist being held in his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Stone Tribe was situated in a low-lying basin, surrounded by mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lin Mu led them through the tribe, Qiao Xixi saw many stone and wooden houses. This seemed to be the more concentrated residential area for the beastmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After passing through the scattered houses, they finally arrived in front of a stone house in a relatively remote location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The place the Tribe Shaman had arranged for them consisted of three stone houses, their walls looking somewhat old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weathered rubble was piled up at the base of the walls, but the rooms were fairly spacious—already much better than the igloo they had been living in before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My home is just a short distance ahead. If you need anything, feel free to come find me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Qiao Xixi thanked him, Lin Mu left in a hurry, still worried about Mi Lan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi surveyed all three stone houses, an irrepressible smile on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Finally, no more sleeping out in the open.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Ling tore a handful of branches from a tree outside and swept out the most spacious of the stone houses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a simple tidying of the house, he took out some animal hides, spread them on the ground, and said to Qiao Xixi, \"You all rest for a bit. I’m going to go roast some meat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Qiao Xixi could even say anything, Jin Ling had already turned and gone outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi placed Qiao Qiao on the animal hide, covered her with a hide blanket, and then followed him outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Lie and Qiao Ang were wandering around outside the stone house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Ang was grinning from ear to ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Qiao Lie remained expressionless, his red eyes were constantly scanning their surroundings, filled with curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you’re tired, go sleep for a while. I’ll call you when the meat is ready.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two cubs shook their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re not tired.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi let them be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She went to check on the other two houses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two stone houses were smaller, with some cracks in the walls and roof, but nothing too serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Tomorrow, I’ll get some yellow mud and stones to patch them up.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After surveying the rooms, she grabbed some branches and leaves and began to sweep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi stood on her tiptoes, trying to clear a spiderweb hanging on the wall, but she wasn’t tall enough to reach it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was about to jump for it, a strong, large hand took the branch from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your injuries haven’t fully healed yet. Don’t move around too much. Leave this kind of work to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Ling gently steadied her by the shoulders, and with one long sweep of his arm, the spiderweb on the wall was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he moved, his body pressed against Qiao Xixi’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint, grassy scent drifted to her nose, and her back grew hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi swallowed hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Help me!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Who could possibly resist a powerful male with perfect proportions, broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and features so handsome they looked divinely sculpted!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was completely enveloped in Jin Ling’s unique scent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi felt that if she didn’t get away now, she was going to fall for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as soon as she turned, she bumped right into Jin Ling’s firm embrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Ling’s palm pressed lightly—whether intentionally or not—pushing her body closer to his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His powerful heartbeat reached her ears, and Qiao Xixi’s own heart began to pound in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xixi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His low, husky voice sounded beside her ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi looked up in a fluster, only to meet a pair of eyes filled with deep affection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled, Qiao Xixi clutched her animal-hide clothes tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Ling watched her, her eyes lowered and her feathery lashes trembling, like a feather teasing his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xixi...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His searing palm lifted her chin as he slowly leaned closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their warm breaths mingled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching his handsome face draw nearer and nearer, Qiao Xixi froze completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as their lips were about to touch, a small, curious face wedged itself between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A-Are your wounds hurting again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Ang’s childish, slightly cocky voice held a trace of concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi pushed Jin Ling’s hand away and quickly stepped back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his gilded golden eyes remained locked on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, my wounds don’t hurt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Ang blinked his light brown eyes in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, his little brow furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re lying! If your wounds didn’t hurt, why did you need the big male to kiss you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Ling’s voice was light. \"Qiao Ang, your mother’s injuries haven’t fully recovered. It’s possible they still hurt sometimes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Ang’s little brow furrowed even more tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quick, let the big male kiss you! A kiss will make it stop hurting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi looked with surprise at the bright amusement in Jin Ling’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi was rendered speechless. The boomerang of her own lie had just hit her right between the eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qiao Ang, I’m really not hurting, just a little hungry. Let’s go eat the roast meat. Come on, let’s hurry up and eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi quickly made her escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Ang watched her retreating back as if he were looking at a disobedient cub.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s such a handful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Ling watched her slender back, a gentle smile touching the corners of his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Qiao Xixi ate the roast meat, she thought it tasted wonderful, even without any seasoning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Perhaps it’s because after wandering for so long, I finally have a place to settle down, at least for a while.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Qiao Xixi was happily dreaming of the future, the atmosphere on the other side of the tribe was not nearly as harmonious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Lin Mu brought Qiao Xixi and her group into the tribe, the Tribe Shaman also returned to his own residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A male beastman wearing a circlet of vibrant red and white feathers, with red pupils almost identical to the Tribe Shaman’s, walked up to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, why did you let those Wandering Beasts stay? You know the Clan Leader hates Wandering Beasts more than anyone. When he returns and finds out, he’ll definitely be displeased.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tribe Shaman walked to a wooden chair, sat down, and glanced at Hong Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That powerful Golden Tiger Beast male isn’t a Wandering Beast. One female Wandering Beast and three cubs pose no serious threat to the tribe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tribe Shaman took a sip of water before continuing, \"What’s more, that little female cub has a Healing Skill. Keeping them in the tribe is more of a benefit to us than a threat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Xi was still worried, but he couldn’t change a decision his father had made.\u003C\u002Fp>",1333,"2026-06-10T05:17:12.767Z",1,"novelbin.me","d9e58122d7f6a186de5ac55ce918bcdea68906daf90cdb624dba68946c931d1a","i-transmigrated-as-a-villainess-to-raise-babies--chapter-23","i-transmigrated-as-a-villainess-to-raise-babies--chapter-21",293,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-transmigrated-as-a-villainess-to-raise-babies--cover.jpg"]
