We only need to make three beds. The leftover scraps can be used for firewood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Qiao’s spirits had recovered after she woke up, and she followed closely behind Qiao Xixi, shadowing her every move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mama, I want to help too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at her big, pleading eyes, Qiao Xixi handed her an armful of grass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can help Mama by taking this grass to the clearing to dry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, mission accepted!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi and the others worked until the sun went down before finally stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Ling brought the roasted meat he had prepared into the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eat something first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Qiao Xixi ate the roasted meat, her mind was on the stream she had seen when they entered the tribe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While they were wandering, the freezing weather had made it impossible to wash, so she had been enduring the filth on her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that they had arrived at the tribe and were temporarily settled, all Qiao Xixi wanted was to give herself and the cubs a proper bath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jin Ling, I noticed one of the logs you brought back today was very large.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Qiao Xixi had nearly finished her meat, Jin Ling placed his own, larger portion next to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.

I want to make a big bathtub.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Ling didn’t know what a bathtub was, but he would do anything Qiao Xixi asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, you can teach me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought of soon being able to take a comfortable bath made Qiao Xixi’s eyes curve into a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Ling’s claws were incredibly sharp, and he quickly finished the wooden tub. He also made them a stone pot and two small wooden buckets for carrying water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s a small stream up ahead. I’ll go fetch some water.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Jin Ling picked up the small wooden buckets and headed for the stream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi didn’t stay idle either. She found several large stones and stacked them, then set the stone pot on top and started a fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stone pot was so thick that it had only just finished heating by the time Jin Ling returned with the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Night had completely fallen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi poured the heated water into the wooden tub.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cubs all watched Qiao Xixi with curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After testing the temperature, Qiao Xixi turned back to the cubs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who wants to go first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Qiao tilted her little head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mama, are you going to give us a bath?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right. It feels much better to be clean. Then Qiaoqiao, you can go first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Qiao was a little scared. They had grown up on the ice plains and had never taken a bath before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing her nervousness, Qiao Xixi soothed her in a gentle voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t be afraid. Mama will help you wash.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi carried Qiaoqiao into the smallest stone room, which she planned to use as a temporary bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking off her animal-hide clothes, Qiao Xixi placed Qiao Qiao into the wooden tub.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the warm water enveloped her body, Qiao Qiao let out a comfortable little hum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mama, this feels so nice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi let her soak in the water for a while before she began to manually scrub the grime from her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi flushed with embarrassment as she watched the water grow darker and darker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Good thing the ice plains were so cold. If we were somewhere hot, we would have been crawling with lice.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once she was clean, Qiao Xixi wrapped Qiao Qiao in an animal hide and carried her out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mama, bathing feels so good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it feels good, then we should bathe more often from now on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dressing Qiao Qiao in her hide clothes, Jin Ling came in to replace the water in the tub.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi carried Qiao Qiao back to the main stone room and found Qiao Lie and Qiao Ang both staring at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s your turn. You two can bathe together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two little ones furrowed their brows tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I can wash myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Lie also chimed in, \"I don’t want you to wash me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi gave them no chance to refuse, grabbing their hands and pulling them toward the washroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can wash yourselves in the future. Today, Mama will teach you how.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Qiao Xixi stripped him bare, Qiao Ang’s little face turned beet red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he was placed in the tub of hot water, his eyes widened in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Bathing feels... so good.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After she had bathed all three cubs, it was finally Qiao Xixi’s turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Ling filled the tub to the brim for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take a look. Is this enough?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her nod, Jin Ling picked up the water buckets and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stone room didn’t have a door, but Qiao Xixi saw Jin Ling sitting by the fire in the yard. With him standing guard, no other beastmen were likely to approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slipped out of her filthy animal-hide skirt and stepped into the wooden tub.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the hot water enveloped her body, Qiao Xixi let out a comfortable sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is amazing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Sprite, does the system have rewards like toiletries and cleaning supplies?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Host. As long as you can complete a five-star mission, you can unlock the System Store.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once it’s unlocked, can I use anything in the store for free?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m afraid not, Host. Items in the store must be exchanged for points.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Every time you complete a mission, Host, you receive a corresponding number of points. A one-star mission is worth 10 points, a two-star is worth 20, and each star level adds another 10 points.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then how many points do I have right now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Host, you have completed two two-star missions, one three-star mission, and one four-star mission. You currently have 110 points.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I wonder what these points can even get me.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since the store wasn’t unlocked yet, Qiao Xixi didn’t dwell on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grime on her body could be scrubbed off after it softened in the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the grease in her hair was not so easy to wash out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could only use the wood ash from the fire she’d made earlier, rubbing it into her hair over and over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After repeating this process until the water was as black as it could possibly get, her scalp finally felt clean and refreshed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi stepped out of the wooden tub, frowning at the murky black water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can’t even bear to look at it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She put on her animal-hide clothes and walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jin Ling, I’m done washing. You should go take a bath too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Ling’s hearing was sharp; just moments ago, his ears had been filled with the sounds of her bathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t turned to look, but his mind was filled with her lovely image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Jin Ling turned around and saw Qiao Xixi, he froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the grime washed away, her fair, delicate face was revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moonlight dappled her form, making her skin appear even more luminous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No female had ever struck him as being as beautiful as a mountain sprite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to restrain himself, Jin Ling stepped forward and took Qiao Xixi’s hand, his gaze earnest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xixi, let me be your mate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1403,"2026-06-10T05:17:12.767Z",1,"novelbin.me","9fd704e9c7854a7bf19eab7d7efba9ce73cc83695019db2eec196e3c8d2569fc","i-transmigrated-as-a-villainess-to-raise-babies--chapter-24","i-transmigrated-as-a-villainess-to-raise-babies--chapter-22",293,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-transmigrated-as-a-villainess-to-raise-babies--cover.jpg"]
