Chapter 24 She rejected you

"what?"

Qiao Xixi was dumbfounded.

Jin Lin gently pulled her into his arms.

"XiXi, I want to be your beast husband, is that okay?"

The sudden confession threw Qiao Xixi into a panic.

She clearly wanted to tell Jin Lin tonight that their security agreement could end today and that he was free.

"Jin Lin, I..."

"Xixi, don't reject me yet."

"I……"

In an instant, Qiao Xixi sensed his intense disappointment.

She also felt a little sad.

Actually, given her current situation, it would definitely be safer for her to have a strong person like Jin Lin with her.

But she didn't want to drag Kim Rin down.

Thinking of this, Qiao Xixi's wildly beating heart gradually calmed down.

"Jin Lin, I don't want to find a beast husband right now. Can you give me some time?"

Qiao Xixi had just finished speaking.

Those golden eyes visibly dimmed.

But soon, his expression became firm again.

"Okay, I'm willing to wait no matter how long it takes, but please don't make me leave you, okay?"

Josie stared at him in astonishment.

“Jin Lin, we agreed before that you only needed to take us to the tribe. You have no responsibility to protect us.”

"I just want to protect you."

His gentle words carried an unyielding domineering air.

Josie sighed softly.

"If you also want to stay here, I have no right to kick you out, but from now on, I hope that everything you do will be based on your own will."

Seeing that Qiao Xixi didn't chase him away, Jin Lin's expression relaxed considerably.

"it is good."

As long as he can stay by her side, even if he's not a beast, he's willing.

Jin Lin reluctantly let go of her arms.

"I'll go pour out the water."

Qiao Xixi felt a little embarrassed; her bucket of water was really dirty.

But Jin Lin acted as if nothing had happened, carrying the wooden bucket out.

"I'll go wash by the stream in a bit, you guys rest first."

"Okay, then be careful."

After Jin Lin walked away, Qiao Xixi went to the fire stand and dried her hair with the heat before returning to the house.

The three little ones were all lying in bed.

Qiao Xixi walked to the bedside and lay down.

The three stone houses were used as a sleeping quarters, a washroom, and the third was reserved for Jin Lin.

As soon as Qiao Xixi lay down, Qiao Qiao, who was sleeping on the innermost side, climbed over her brothers and into Qiao Xixi's arms.

"Mother, let's hug and sleep."

Ever since she experienced the warmth of Qiao Xixi's embrace, Qiao Qiao has especially loved snuggling in her arms.

Of course, Qiao Xixi wouldn't refuse.

"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Qiao Qiao's little nose twitched, and the mother's scent became fragrant.

"Female, don't you like big males?"

Upon hearing Qiao Qiao's words, Qiao Lie and Qiao Ang, who had been keeping their eyes closed, both opened them.

Qiao Xixi sighed.

Why does she feel that her own child cares more about her marriage than she does?
Do you guys really like Kim Rin?

Qiao Qiao tilted her little head.

"He's very capable; he can hunt and protect the females and us."

Qiao Xixi understood; these little guys wanted a free bodyguard and a meal ticket.

"Yes, Jin Lin is very good, but we can't just think about ourselves. Okay, go to sleep."

Qiao Ang yawned and closed his eyes.

Qiao Lie glanced at Qiao Xixi and then went to sleep.

Qiao Qiao nestled in Qiao Xixi's arms, her little mouth gurgling softly.

"If the female doesn't like the big male, then we'll find her another one..."

Before I could finish speaking, the little guy fell asleep.

Qiao Xixi was also tired. She slowly closed her eyes after hearing Jin Lin's familiar footsteps outside the door. Jin Lin stood outside the door and walked in, listening to the even breathing inside.

Bathed in the soft moonlight.

Looking at Qiao Xixi's beautiful face, he couldn't help but gently kiss her cheek.

Looked up.

He looked up at a pair of reddened eyes.

Qiao Lie stared at Jin Lin with a tense expression.

Jin Lin was stunned for a moment, then covered him with the blanket and said in a low voice, "Qiao Lie, thank you for carrying me back to the cave back then."

Qiao Lie's pupils narrowed.

He wants Jin Lin to take care of Qiao Xixi, but he gets upset when he sees Jin Lin trying to get close to Qiao Xixi.

Qiao Lie's voice was cold.

"She rejected you."

Jin Lin's lips curled up slightly.

"It's okay, I won't leave. Go to sleep."

Perhaps it was because she was in the tribe that Josie felt at ease, and she slept very soundly.

When I woke up again, it was already broad daylight outside.

The babies aren't in bed anymore.

As Qiao Xixi got up and walked out of the stone house, she saw the three little ones working hard to move small stones, while Jin Lin was stirring yellow mud with water.

Hearing the noise, the adult and the three children all looked at Qiao Xixi.

Jin Lin smiled and said, "You're awake. The barbecue is ready. Go and eat first."

"What are you doing?"

Qiao Qiao put down the stone in her hand and replied, "Mother, we are building a stone house."

Jin Lin explained, "The stone house has some cracks, and I want to fix them before the cold weather comes."

"Do you need my help?"

"No need, it'll be ready soon. Go and eat something first."

Josh nodded. "Have you all eaten?"

"Mother, we've already eaten."

Qiao Xixi noticed that the three kids were particularly enthusiastic when they followed Jin Lin around doing chores, so she let them be.

Qiao Xixi picked up the meat that was placed by the fire and started eating.

"Ding Dong"

"Please lead the cubs to complete a gathering task. The task difficulty is two stars."

Qiao Xixi was puzzled.

"To collect them in the mountains?"

"Yes, host. If the little ones want to survive in the beast world, they must learn to gather resources."

Qiao Xixi paused in her eating.

Is it possible that she doesn't really know how to collect data?
"To make it easier for the host to teach the little ones how to gather, the system will issue a 'Gathering Book' which will indicate what the little ones need to gather this time."

As soon as the little demon finished speaking, a book appeared in the void.

Qiao Xixi opened the book with her mind.

The book contains detailed records of many plant species and their uses. With the "Collection Book," she was no longer afraid of accidentally picking poisonous plants.

After eating, Josie decided to take a stroll around the tribe.

"The female mother is going to visit the tribe. Do you want to come with me?"

Upon hearing this, the three children stopped what they were doing and looked at Qiao Xixi.

Jin Lin also looked at her.

"I'll go with you."

Qiao Xixi laughed and said, "If you want to go, we can go together, but if you're just here to keep me company, then you don't need to."

"I'll stay with the big male and repair the stone house," Qiao Lie said indifferently.

Qiao Ang really wanted to go, but he still said he wanted to stay with Qiao Lie.

Qiao Qiao looked at her older and younger brothers, then at Qiao Xixi.

"I, I, want to go with the female mother."

"Let's go then. I'm just going to familiarize myself with the surroundings. I'll be right back."

Jin Lin was a little worried.

"If you encounter anything that makes you uncomfortable, come back immediately."

Qiao Xixi knew that Jin Lin was afraid that she would be bullied.

"it is good."

Qiao Xixi led Qiao Qiao into the tribe.

As they walked along the path, Qiao Xixi, as if struck by a sudden thought, turned with Qiao Qiao and headed towards the stone house not far away.
