I Transmigrated as a Villainess to Raise Babies, and My Beast Husbands Are Fighting Madly Over Me!-Chapter 63: You Were Very Proactive Before

"Witch Doctor Qiao Xixi, what are you doing here?"

It was Hei Zong.

Qiao Xixi forced herself to remain calm as she turned around.

"I went to the Sangji Witch Doctor’s place to get some medicine. I was just about to head back to treat Sunxiao."

Hei Zong’s dark pupils were inscrutable, making it impossible to tell if he believed her or not.

"How are Sunxiao’s injuries?"

"They’re no longer life-threatening."

Hei Zong nodded. "I’ll go with you to have a look."

Qiao Xixi glanced toward the secret room, nodded, and left the main city district with Hei Zong.

On the way, Qiao Xixi shot Hei Zong a few strange looks.

He was tall, with legs much longer than hers, yet he took incredibly small steps.

It was as if he was deliberately stalling for time.

Qiao Xixi frowned. ’Could something be happening back with Sunxiao?’

At this thought, Qiao Xixi decided not to waste any more time with him and quickened her pace toward the stone house.

As soon as Qiao Xixi was a good distance away, Hei Zong said to the demon beast behind him, "Has Hei Lun succeeded yet?"

"We haven’t seen Mr. Hei return yet."

Hearing this, Hei Zong couldn’t help but speed up as well.

By the time Qiao Xixi ran all the way back to the stone house, she saw Sunxiao in his snake form, coiled around a black bear, his body tightening bit by bit.

"Sunxiao, that’s Mr. Hei, highly valued by the City Lord! You can’t kill him."

"Hurry up and let Mr. Hei go!"

The other demon beasts just shouted from the side, not daring to step forward.

Even while severely injured, Sunxiao was still able to overpower Hei Lun with a victor’s dominance. For them to approach would be suicide.

Qiao Xixi was stunned by the scene, but then her eyes fell on Qiao Lie, who was being held gently in Sunxiao’s mouth.

"Qiao Lie!"

Seeing Qiao Xixi, Sunxiao slowly lowered his serpentine body and placed Qiao Lie in her arms.

Qiao Xixi hugged Qiao Lie tightly and asked urgently,

"What happened?"

"He wanted to capture me and take me to the Beast Fighting Arena, but Father-Beast found out and stopped him."

Hearing this, Qiao Xixi’s expression darkened.

’That damn Hei Lun.’

Sunxiao’s grip gradually tightened, and Hei Lun’s face turned a deep shade of purple.

"Sunxiao, stop!"

Hei Zong arrived and, seeing that Hei Lun was at a disadvantage, rushed over.

But it was too late.

Sunxiao loosened his coils, and Hei Lun collapsed to the ground like a pile of mud, unable to get up.

Hei Zong’s face changed drastically. He ran over and felt Hei Lun’s body.

’His bones are all crushed. Even if he doesn’t die, he’ll be a cripple!’

Hei Zong glared at Sunxiao, his face grim.

"Sunxiao, Hei Lun is one of the strongest warriors in Demon Beast City! How dare you injure him so badly!"

Sunxiao shifted back to his human form and coldly planted his foot on Hei Lun’s head.

"He deserves to die for daring to touch my cub."

"Wait!"

Hei Zong grabbed Sunxiao’s foot.

"You’ve already crippled him. Spare his life, and I guarantee your cub will be safe in Demon Beast City from now on."

Qiao Xixi suddenly stepped forward. "We have one more condition."

Hei Zong looked at Qiao Xixi. "Name it."

"Have all the demon beasts watching us leave. I don’t like having my every move be seen by others."

Hei Zong’s face was sullen, but he agreed, figuring that since Demon Beast City was so heavily guarded, they couldn’t possibly leave without a sound anyway.

"Fine."

Only then did Qiao Xixi look at Sunxiao and blink at him. After all, she had made the demand without his permission. ’What if he doesn’t agree?’

"Spare his life?"

Sunxiao looked at her and slowly eased the pressure from his foot.

"Fine."

Qiao Xixi was surprised. ’Sunxiao seems a little too agreeable today.’

Hei Zong quickly had the Wild Bull Demon Beasts carry Hei Lun away.

As soon as they left, Qiao Xixi quickly carried Qiao Lie back into the house.

"You weren’t hurt just now, were you?"

Qiao Lie shook his head. "No, Father-Beast found me very quickly."

Qiao Xixi felt a pang of guilt. ’I was still too careless. I never thought Hei Lun would have ill intentions toward Qiao Lie.’

"Why did Hei Lun try to grab Qiao Lie?"

Qiao Xixi didn’t understand.

Sunxiao walked in. "Because of me."

Qiao Xixi wasn’t stupid. "He wanted to use Qiao Lie as a bargaining chip to control you?"

"Mhm."

"Then isn’t it very dangerous to keep staying here? Can we... leave?" she asked tentatively.

Sunxiao glanced at her.

"No."

Qiao Xixi frowned. ’Sunxiao doesn’t want to leave Demon Beast City?’

’Then if we want to leave, we’ll have to get past him first.’

"You want to leave? To go find your beast-husband?"

Without a second thought, Qiao Xixi nodded. "That’s right."

The moment the words left her mouth, she could clearly feel the air around Sunxiao grow cold.

’I... didn’t say anything wrong, did I?’

She really was worried about Jin Ling and the others.

Qiao Lie glanced at his Father-Beast and covered his face, speechless.

’Seriously, you can’t teach this old guy anything!’

"Before I leave, you are not to take a single step out of Demon Beast City."

After saying this, he didn’t wait for Qiao Xixi’s reply and went straight upstairs.

He seemed very angry.

"How unreasonable."

Qiao Lie sighed and face-palmed, feeling he had to make excuses for his own father.

"Father-Beast is looking for something very important. He can only leave Demon Beast City after he finds it. He’s not planning to stay here forever."

Qiao Xixi reined in her emotions and sat down, holding her cub.

"Qiao Lie, what has your Father-Beast told you?"

Qiao Lie said, "Father-Beast is staying here to get something, but I don’t know what it is. Why don’t you ask him, Mother?"

Qiao Xixi wanted to say, ’You and your father communicate better with each other.’

But then she felt she shouldn’t push this kind of thing onto a child.

"Alright, I’ll go have a good talk with your Father-Beast."

"Okay, I’ll go make dinner."

Qiao Lie trotted off to the backyard.

Qiao Xixi sighed and trudged upstairs with heavy steps.

Sunxiao was lying on his side on the bed. His long, fiery red hair cascaded casually over his chest, trailing down across his pale yet well-defined abs.

Qiao Xixi quickly averted her gaze. ’His temper might be terrible, but his body is still very tempting.’

"I heard from Qiao Lie that you’re staying because there’s something you want to get?"

Sunxiao lifted his gaze slightly.

"Yes."

"Well, that’s perfect. I have something I want, too. If you don’t know where to find what you’re looking for, maybe I can help you?"

Sunxiao raised an eyebrow. "What do you want?"

Qiao Xixi thought for a moment before deciding to tell the truth. "I want a blue Crystal Stone."

A flicker of movement in Sunxiao’s eyes. "You know where it is?"

"Yes. What is it that you want?"

"A purple crystal."

Qiao Xixi was startled. ’There’s actually a purple crystal in Demon Beast City.’

Sunxiao looked at her. "Can you find out where it is?"

Qiao Xixi urgently called out to Xiao Yao in her mind.

’Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao, where is the purple crystal?’

’Host, the purple crystal is also in the secret room. All the Crystal Stones Hei Zong stole are in the secret room.’

Qiao Xixi’s eyes lit up when she heard that. ’All the Crystal Stones are in the secret room!’

’It’s a good thing the system isn’t making me look for the purple crystal. I’d never be able to compete with Sunxiao for it.’

"Qiao Xixi, what are you thinking about?"

Qiao Xixi snapped back to her senses, finding Sunxiao’s handsome face magnified right in front of her.

Startled, she tried to back away, but Sunxiao grabbed her by the small of her back, pulling her close.

"What are you hiding from? You were quite proactive before."
