If he weren’t holding back, he would have pulled Qiao Xixi into a hug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing his enthusiasm, Qiao Xixi quickly took two steps back and sat on a nearby stone stool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please, Shaman, sit down. You can tell me slowly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shaman nodded, the excited look on his face not fading in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Priest, we found more Grass Fruit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi was startled. \"You found more?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shaman nodded. \"That’s right. I’ve already sent Hong Xi and the tribe’s males to gather them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I can’t believe there’s more,’ Qiao Xixi thought. ’But this is a good thing.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shaman wrung his hands, seemingly at a loss for how to begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there something you wanted to say, Shaman?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shaman looked quite sheepish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Priest, I know that refining Salt Crystal is your secret recipe...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want me to teach you how to refine Salt Crystal? Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shaman stared at her in shock. Normally, a Priest would never share such a refining method so easily. He hadn’t expected Qiao Xixi to be so generous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shaman rose to his feet, solemnly crossed his hands over his chest, and performed a grand salute to Qiao Xixi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Priest, for being willing to teach us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s not that big of a deal,’ Qiao Xixi thought. ’Besides, the method is simple enough. There’s no harm in telling them.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since I’m now the tribe’s Priest and I live off your provisions, it’s only right that I do something for the tribe in return.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Qiao Xixi stood up, poured the Grass Fruit juice directly into a stone pot, and began to stir it constantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Qiao Xixi’s practiced movements, the shaman’s heart filled with even greater reverence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he had learned the process, he thanked Qiao Xixi again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, Priest, the Clan Leader and the Hunting Team could return with their kill any day now. When they do, you will have to perform the Sacrificial Dance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was just about to talk to you about that, Shaman. This Sacrificial Dance...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, don’t you worry, Priest. It’s not difficult at all. I’ll teach you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi nodded. \"Alright. Then I’ll be in your care, Shaman.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the shaman left, Jin Ling went out with him. Qiao Xixi said she wanted him to bring back a few Grass Fruit trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was still plenty of Grass Fruit left over from yesterday’s harvest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Qiao Xixi continued to refine Salt Crystal at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re going out to get water.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Lie and Qiao Ang went out carrying water buckets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two be careful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We will!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Lie and Qiao Ang walked towards the creek, carrying their buckets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, they ran into some of the other children from the tribe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The children didn’t dare approach when they saw the two. It seemed Qiao Lie’s previous duel with Bai Xing had left a deep impression on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Lie stared straight ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Ang merely gave them a glance before walking on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two children stood by the creek fetching water, not noticing a green snake slowly revealing a pair of sinister eyes from beneath the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flicking its forked tongue, the green snake swam bit by bit toward the two children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Ang had just hauled up a bucket of water and was about to fill a second when Qiao Lie suddenly transformed into his snake form and dove into the creek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qiao Lie, what are you doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Ang was startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking up, Qiao Ang saw a large green snake and a small, crimson snake thrashing in the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green snake was stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the small snake was extremely agile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It soon broke free from the green snake’s grasp and swam for the shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Lie quickly changed back to his human form, grabbed Qiao Ang, and ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Run!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Ang didn’t waste time with words. He dropped the bucket and ran after Qiao Lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Green Snake Beast scrambled ashore to give chase, only to find the two children were already far in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green snake flicked its tongue in fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If I hadn’t been severely wounded by that Golden Tiger Beast yesterday, how could I have let that little snake whelp get away!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Qiao Lie and Qiao Ang ran back, they suddenly saw several male beastmen walking their way, shouldering prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two parties ran right into each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lead male beastman’s expression changed drastically when he saw Qiao Lie and Qiao Ang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Qiao Lie got a clear look at them, his snake-like pupils narrowed into slits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The male Gray Wolf Beast before him was the same beastman who had attacked them before, accusing them of stealing a Deer Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well now, you two little Wandering Beast cubs. How dare you run wild in our tribe! See if I don’t rough you up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several male Gray Wolf Beasts rushed over to grab Qiao Lie and Qiao Ang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two children were still young, after all, and were quickly caught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a male Gray Wolf Beast with a round scar over his left eye walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s going on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The male beastman holding them said, \"Clan Leader, these two Wandering Beast cubs are with the murderer who killed Yan Liu. I don’t know why they’re in our tribe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Clan Leader, Yan Shi, swept a cold gaze over the two children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take them away too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Clan Leader and the others are back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Clan Leader is back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the news, the beastmen all headed joyfully toward the sacrificial altar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Clan Leader returning with the Hunting Team meant they would have more food to get through the cold days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Yan Shi and his group arrived at the altar, all the hunting males placed their prey on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Shi’s eyes swept over the beastmen, and he noticed that many were missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is the shaman? Why haven’t Hong Xi and the others come?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A beastman answered, \"Clan Leader, the shaman took them to pick Grass Fruit. The Priest said it’s a fruit that can be used to refine Salt Crystal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Shi was startled, thinking he had misheard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A fruit that can be refined into Salt Crystal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Clan Leader. The Priest has already refined Salt Crystal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Shi was startled again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’How long have I been gone? The tribe has a new Priest already?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Priest? Who is it? Go, ask him to come over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mi Qi, reacting quickly, said she would go get the Priest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Shi was incredibly curious. Just what in the world had happened in the tribe while they were away?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xixi, Xixi, the Clan Leader and the others are back! Quick, come with me to the altar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi had just opened the door when an excited Mi Qi grabbed her and started pulling her outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mi Qi, wait a moment. Let me get the fire in the stove under control first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The juice was still simmering in the stone pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Mi Qi let her go, her excitement calming down a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I got too excited.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s fine. I’ll head over as soon as I’m ready.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truthfully, Qiao Xixi didn’t have much to do. She just wanted to wait for Qiao Lie and Qiao Ang to return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’They should have been back by now,’ she thought, calculating the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mi Qi, you go on ahead. I’ll come by myself in a little while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, then. Finish up what you’re doing first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After tidying up, Qiao Xixi left the house with Qiao Qiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she didn’t head for the altar; she walked toward the creek instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she even reached the creek, she saw Bai Xing running toward her with a few young cat beastmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Bai Xing saw Qiao Xixi, he immediately stopped in his tracks and looked at her, somewhat awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Priest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you seen Qiao Lie?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xing’s eyes widened. \"I think I saw them going toward the altar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right, I saw it too. The Clan Leader took them there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi frowned upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The Clan Leader of the Black Stone Tribe doesn’t even know Qiao Lie and Qiao Ang. Why would he take them away for no reason?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something suddenly occurred to Qiao Xixi, and she quickly spun around and hurried toward the altar.\u003C\u002Fp>",1403,"2026-06-10T05:17:12.767Z",1,"novelbin.me","11129a708e30c0eb4873322f2413fcecee99694c65e7c41fb9e2ea10b8faed39","i-transmigrated-as-a-villainess-to-raise-babies--chapter-40","i-transmigrated-as-a-villainess-to-raise-babies--chapter-38",293,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-transmigrated-as-a-villainess-to-raise-babies--cover.jpg"]
