I Transmigrated as a Villainess to Raise Babies, and My Beast Husbands Are Fighting Madly Over Me!-Chapter 42: Invisibility Cloak

The sprite bookmarked the "Protective Gear" page.

"Host, look. How about this one?"

Qiao Xixi took a look.

"An Invisibility Cloak?"

"Yep! Just put it on and you’ll become invisible. How about that? Awesome, right?"

’It did sound pretty awesome.’

"120 points! If I redeem this, my points will be almost completely wiped out."

"Don’t worry, Host. You can get more points just by doing missions! This cloak is a flash sale item. It’ll be gone after today."

Qiao Xixi took a look and saw that, sure enough, there was a flash sale countdown timer under the cloak’s description.

’The Beast World is full of dangers. An item like this cloak would certainly be a good precaution.’

"Alright, I’ll redeem it."

Qiao Xixi tapped the page, and her 130 points dropped to just 10.

A silky cloak appeared in her hands.

"But Host, the cloak only works for five minutes at a time. After that, you have to wait ten minutes before you can use it again."

Qiao Xixi: ???

’Why didn’t you tell me that before I bought it! This is clearly a consumer trap!’

"A refund! I want a refund!"

The sprite’s figure flashed, and it vanished.

After cursing and muttering as she put the cloak away, Qiao Xixi’s consciousness withdrew from the system space.

She turned to see Qiao Ang looking at her with a worried expression.

"Qiao Ang, what’s wrong?"

Qiao Ang shook his head and sighed.

"I thought you’d gotten smarter, but it turns out a dumb female is still just a fool."

Qiao Xixi’s eyes flew wide. She grabbed his fluffy ears.

"You little brat, don’t you start with me! You still haven’t properly called me ’Mama,’ have you? I think someone needs a spanking."

Qiao Xixi picked him up, carried him back to the stone house, and laid him facedown on her lap, raising her hand.

A slap that was neither light nor heavy landed on Qiao Ang’s bottom.

"Quick, call me Mama, or I’ll spank you again."

Qiao Ang’s face flushed red. He squirmed to get down but was held firmly in place by Qiao Xixi.

"You... you let me down!"

Qiao Xixi slapped his bottom again.

"Are you going to say it or not?"

"Mama, Mama, Mama! Now let me down!"

Qiao Xixi laughed, picked him up, and planted a big kiss on his cheek.

BOOM!

Qiao Ang’s fair little face turned completely red, all the way to his neck.

"Now that’s Mama’s good little cub."

Qiao Ang squirmed his way down and ran into the courtyard, grumbling under his breath.

Watching her adorable cubs, Qiao Xixi’s heart filled with contentment.

"Priest? Priest?"

Hearing Mi Qi’s voice, Qiao Xixi went to open the courtyard gate.

"What is it, Mi Qi?"

"Priest, some beastmen in the tribe found a fruit on the back mountain that looks a lot like Grass Fruit. They don’t know if it’s poisonous, so they wanted you to take a look."

’A fruit that looks a lot like Grass Fruit.’ This immediately piqued Qiao Xixi’s interest.

"Okay, let me just tell the cubs, and I’ll go with you."

Qiao Xixi looked at her three busy cubs.

"Mama is going out for a bit and will be back soon. Stay in the courtyard and don’t run off, understand?"

The cubs nodded obediently.

"Mama, you have to come back soon."

"Okay."

After closing the courtyard gate, Qiao Xixi headed for the back mountain with Mi Qi.

"Didn’t the Tribe Shaman say they had already picked all the newly discovered Grass Fruit? Why are they still going to the back mountain?"

"The Tribe Shaman wanted to see if there were any more, and that’s when they found the similar-looking fruit."

Qiao Xixi nodded and followed Mi Qi to the back mountain.

"Mi Qi! Mi Qi!"

Mi Qi stopped curiously. A white cat beastman was running up from behind them.

"Mi Qi, your mate was looking for Grass Fruit on the back mountain and accidentally fell. He was just rescued and taken back, you should hurry and check on him."

Mi Qi’s expression changed instantly.

"Okay, I’ll go with you right now."

Qiao Xixi asked, "Do you need me to come back?"

Just as Mi Qi was about to speak, the white cat beastman said, "No need. The Tribe Shaman said he can treat him."

"Xixi, don’t worry about me. You go on ahead. They’re just up there."

Qiao Xixi nodded. "Okay."

After Mi Qi and the others left, Qiao Xixi continued walking forward.

She had found this area eerily quiet when they first arrived, but walking alone now, she felt as if eyes were watching her from all directions.

Qiao Xixi couldn’t help but quicken her pace, and even had the urge to turn back.

But soon, she saw several male beastmen from the tribe up ahead.

Only then did she slow down and walk over.

"Priest, you’re here! Quick, take a look. Can this fruit be refined into Salt Crystals like Grass Fruit?"

Qiao Xixi walked to a tree and carefully examined the fruit on it.

’I have to say, it really does look a lot like Grass Fruit.’ 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

’But on closer inspection, you could see it wasn’t quite the same.’

As Qiao Xixi was examining it carefully, she didn’t notice that the expressions of the male beastmen behind her had changed.

A male beastman standing behind her raised his fist and brought it down on the back of Qiao Xixi’s neck.

"Host, look out!"

Qiao Xixi was startled. She felt a sharp pain in her neck, her vision went black, and she lost consciousness.

The beastmen looked at Qiao Xixi lying on the ground, a little panicked.

"What do we do? A-Are we really going to kill the Priest? We’ll be punished by the Beast God!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Yi walked out from behind a large tree.

"What are you afraid of? We’re just throwing her into a pit, not actually killing her. She’ll be killed by a wild beast!"

Yan Yi directly hoisted Qiao Xixi onto his shoulder and threw her into a nearby pit.

Then, he walked up to the other male beastmen.

"I’m warning you, if any other beastman finds out about this, none of you will live to see another day."

The male beastmen hurriedly promised they would not say a word.

"Let’s go. Down the mountain."

Just as they started down the mountain, the Green Snake Beast and the Long-armed Ape Beast, who had been hiding in the large trees, jumped down.

"Let’s go. Get that female out of there."

They went to the pit, carried out the unconscious Qiao Xixi, and their figures quickly disappeared into the mountain forest.

As night fell, Jin Ling returned to the tribe with several Long-eared Rabbit Beasts.

Hearing his voice, the cubs opened the courtyard gate.

After entering the courtyard, Jin Ling’s gaze swept around, but he didn’t see Qiao Xixi.

"Where’s your mother? Hasn’t she returned yet?"

"Mama went to the back mountain again."

Qiao Qiao told Jin Ling about Qiao Xixi leaving with Mi Qi.

Jin Ling frowned upon hearing this.

He looked at the sky and said, "I’ll go ask around the tribe. You all be good and wait here at home."

"Okay."

Jin Ling put down his prey, left the courtyard, and headed for the Tribe Shaman’s stone house.

Halfway there, he saw the Tribe Shaman walking towards him.

The Tribe Shaman was also a little surprised to see Jin Ling.

"Tribe Shaman, has Xixi returned?" Jin Ling asked immediately.

The Tribe Shaman paused. "Didn’t the Priest go back from the clearing long ago?"

Jin Ling told the Tribe Shaman about Qiao Xixi and Mi Qi going to the back mountain.

The Tribe Shaman’s expression changed slightly.

"No, I never said any of that."

Jin Ling’s pupils contracted sharply.
