After all, finding food on the ice plains wasn’t easy, even for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing they had agreed, Qiao Xixi gently patted Qiao Lie’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qiao Lie, apologize to them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Lie’s little face tightened as he said coldly, \"He stole my food before and never apologized.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the white bear cub became indignant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re the one who stole from me first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi looked at the little cub’s tightly clenched fists and guessed he wasn’t lying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned to the white bear cub.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me, have you ever stolen food from Qiao Lie before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white bear cub huffed. \"That was only because he stole from me first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi’s expression hardened. She looked at the female White Bear Beastman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You heard him. Your cub stole from mine as well. We are willing to apologize, but you must also apologize to my cub.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The male White Bear Beastman let out a cold snort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qiao Lie almost choked our cub to death, and you want us to apologize? Dream on. Hand Qiao Lie over to us, or this isn’t over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the male White Bear Beastman finished speaking, a paw larger than her own head shot out to grab Qiao Lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi’s heart leaped in alarm. She clutched Qiao Lie and quickly backed away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You, a grown male, are bullying a cub and a female? Aren’t you afraid of punishment from the Beast God?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even among Wandering Beasts, females were far more precious than males and could not be bullied at will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Lie was astonished that Qiao Xixi was actually defending him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The male White Bear Beastman hesitated for a moment after hearing Qiao Xixi’s words. He did fear the Beast God’s punishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his hesitation, Qiao Xixi pressed on. \"As I said, we are willing to apologize for what happened today, but your cub must also apologize to Qiao Lie for his past actions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The male White Bear Beastman turned to the female, letting her make the decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to giving Qiao Lie a beating, the female White Bear Beastman was more interested in the food. After all, it was only going to get colder, and they had to prepare an ample supply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright,\" she said, grabbing the white bear cub. \"Apologize to that snake cub.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white bear cub looked resentful but obediently said, \"Sorry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi then looked at Qiao Lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Lie’s sharp little eyebrows furrowed deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi patted Qiao Lie. \"Qiao Lie, he’s acknowledged his mistake. Now it’s your turn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Lie glared at Qiao Xixi and said stiffly, \"Sorry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An apology to avoid a beating; Qiao Lie didn’t think it was a bad deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>DING DONG.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulations, Host, for completing the task: ’Make the cub Qiao Lie apologize.’ The system will now grant the Host a reward: Fire Starter. Please accept.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi saw a lighter materialize in the void-like space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’A fire starter... I do need one, but I need food more right now!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Still, it’s better than nothing.’ With a thought, she temporarily stored the fire starter in the system’s void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Qiao Xixi gave one of the fish-beasts to the White Bear Beastman family, they left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Qiao Xixi returned to the ice cave, Qiao Ang shot her a disdainful look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You stupid female, giving them a fish-beast for free. Don’t you know how hard it is to find food? Go ahead and starve tomorrow, then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Qiao twitched her two fluffy ears and gave Qiao Xixi a very forced smile. Clearly, she felt the same way as Qiao Ang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi felt she needed to make things clear to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When you do something wrong, you must apologize and accept the consequences. I’ll find more food tomorrow; I won’t let you go hungry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Lie stood off to the side, watching Qiao Xixi without a word before walking over to lie down beside Qiao Ang and Qiao Qiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three well-fed cubs huddled together on the ground and closed their eyes, clearly paying no mind to Qiao Xixi’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi wiped her face, telling herself that raising brats was no easy task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’One step at a time. One step at a time!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mouth watered as she looked at the last remaining fish-beast on the ground. She picked up a nearby ice knife and sliced off a small piece of meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She disliked eating raw food, but this godforsaken place had no firewood, making the fire starter useless. To avoid starving, she had no choice but to make do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, she didn’t mind sashimi. After eating a palm-sized piece of the fish-beast’s meat, she put the rest away. ’I’ll have to catch more tomorrow.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at the three cubs huddled together on the ground, then took an animal hide from her bed and draped it over them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi glanced at the darkening sky outside, lay down on the ice bed, and slowly closed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the middle of her sleep, Qiao Xixi was startled awake by a violent shaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not yet dawn, but on the ice plains, with their towering icebergs and white snow, visibility was never truly low, even at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She got out of bed. Feeling the tremors underfoot, she rushed outside the cave to see what was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face went pale at the sight. It was misty outside, but she could clearly see the white expanse before her shaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The section of ice containing their cave had cracked and was now an ice floe, drifting away from the mountainside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they didn’t get off it immediately, they would be trapped on the ice floe, adrift to who knows where.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the water was full of wild predators that fed on beastmen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no time to think, Qiao Xixi spun around and ran back into the ice cave to wake the cubs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qiao Lie! All of you, wake up! The ice under the cave has broken off from the mountain! We have to get out of here, now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cubs jolted awake, and Qiao Ang was the first to realize what was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scrambled to his feet and immediately dashed for the remaining fish-beast, clutching it to his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly rolled up the animal hides in the cave—the entirety of their family’s possessions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quick, follow me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young cubs transformed into their beast forms: Qiao Lie became a crimson python, while Qiao Ang and Qiao Qiao turned into two pure-white snow foxes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi also transformed, becoming a Silver Frost White Wolf, and led the cubs in a dash toward the distant mountainside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the giant ice floe had already broken away from the mountainside, and a considerable gap had opened between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cubs were still small; there was no way they could leap across such a distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Qiao huddled fearfully against her brother. She was still too young, and the danger made her feel like crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xixi took a few quick steps back, then charged forward and leaped to the other side in a single bound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Qiao Xixi leave so decisively, the three cubs’ eyes reddened with despair, even though they had always known she never liked them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had been abandoned.\u003C\u002Fp>",1302,"2026-06-10T05:17:12.767Z",1,"novelbin.me","6eb1c364ec56b3522f171799094654a4809761072feb6cd35388a6d2aaa60dc9","i-transmigrated-as-a-villainess-to-raise-babies--chapter-5","i-transmigrated-as-a-villainess-to-raise-babies--chapter-3",293,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-transmigrated-as-a-villainess-to-raise-babies--cover.jpg"]
