Chapter 83 came and went.
Sensing Fei Yan's gaze, Jin Lin slightly turned to the side, blocking his view.

"This is our tribe's young chieftain. Today, the young chieftain's child has gone missing, so we came to look for him."

The white-horse-riding male orc following behind Scarlet Flame spoke up to explain.

A dark glint flashed in Jin Lin's eyes, but it was too dark for Fei Yan to notice.

"I want to go in and take a look."

Jin Lin did not stop her and stepped aside to let Fei Yan enter the courtyard.

Fei Yan had just smelled Qiao Qiao's scent.

He swept around the yard and finally arrived at the bathroom.

But just as he was about to push open the door, Jin Lin stopped him.

"My mistress is taking a bath inside, so it's not convenient for the young clan leader to see her."

Fei Yan did not withdraw his hand, because he could smell Qiao Qiao's strong scent here.

"Then I'll wait outside until she's finished washing."

After saying that, he withdrew his hand and leaned casually against the wall, showing no intention of leaving.

Jin Lin simply stood by the door, saying nothing.

Meanwhile, inside the shower room, Qiao Xixi was completely unaware of the confrontation between the two males outside the door.

She and Qiao Qiao leaned comfortably against the wooden tub.

"Alright, we're almost done washing up, let's get up."

"Good female mother."

Qiao Xixi got up, dried herself off, put on her animal skin skirt, and then carried Qiao Qiao out of the water.

When the mother and daughter came out of the bathroom, they saw Jin Lin closing the courtyard gate.

"I think I heard voices just now," Qiao Xixi asked curiously. "Who came?"

Jin Lin glanced at Qiao Qiao and said, "He is Qiao Qiao's father beast."

Qiao Xixi was taken aback; Qiao Qiao's father beast had found this place so quickly.

When Qiao Qiao heard that her father beast had arrived, she instinctively hugged Qiao Xixi tightly.

"I don't want him, I want to stay with my mother forever!"

Qiao Qiao didn't dislike Fei Yan that much; it was just that she overheard Fei Yan saying that it was impossible for her to become Qiao Xixi's beast husband, nor would she be with her.

If he forcibly takes her away, she will be separated from her mother, and she doesn't want that!

Fei Yan never imagined that her words would directly ruin her chance to meet her baby.

At this moment, Fei Yan had already walked into the woods outside the courtyard.

"You just said you smelled the scent of my bloodline somewhere?"

"They said they smelled it by the stream."

Fei Yan quickened her pace and walked towards the stream.

The moonlight sprinkled on the water's surface, creating shimmering spots.

In the water, a baby that looked about the same size as Qiao Qiao was splashing around.

Fei Yan also smelled the scent of his bloodline, and without thinking, he jumped into the water and swam towards the little cub.

Qiao Lie was having a great time in the water when he suddenly saw a very beautiful male fox swimming towards him.

He was startled and immediately adopted an attack stance.

Just as Fei Yan was about to swim up to him, something swiftly darted across the water.

A massive snake head burst from the water, its blood-red maw gaping wide as it lunged at Fei Yan.

Scarlet Flame's pale brown pupils darkened, and she quickly retreated just as the sharp fangs were about to bite him.

"Falcon Owl?"

Falcon stood in front of Qiao Lie, its scarlet snake eyes coldly staring at Fei Yan.

"Crimson Flame, what do you want to do?"

Before Fei Yan could speak, he saw a small snake that looked almost exactly like a falcon slither out from behind him.

Fei Yan was stunned. The little cub he had just seen was actually the cub of the falcon owl.

"You actually have a baby."

The falcon continued to stare at him coldly.

"Stay away from my baby."

"I misread it just now, I thought this was my baby."

Falcon glanced coldly at Scarlet Flame, then led Qiao Lie back to the shore and left without looking back.

As soon as they entered the woods, Qiao Ang ran out, lifting his animal skin skirt. He had needed to relieve himself while washing, so he ran into the woods to do so.

"Qiao Lie, are you done washing up?"

Qiao Lie nodded.

"Then let's go back."

The three figures disappeared into the night.

Fei Yan frowned as she looked at Lin Zi.

Clearly, he had just smelled the scent of his own bloodline.

Qiao Qiao is very likely in this vicinity.

"Keep looking."

At night, Qiao Xixi and the babies all went to sleep. Falcon Owl and Jin Lin stood in the courtyard.

Jin Lin spoke first.

"Qiao Qiao's father beast has come today."

The falcon's serpentine eyes darkened.

"Did you see Xixi?"

"No, they've left again."

Although Jin Lin will not stop Qiao Xixi from taking in beastmen, it does not mean that he will provide these males with opportunities to get close to Qiao Xixi.

At that time, letting Fei Yan in was already the greatest act of mercy.

Falcon knew that Scarlet Flame was Qiao Qiao and the others' father beast, but his attitude was clearer than Jin Lin's.

With Jin Lin by his side, Qiao Xixi already had more than enough.

As for Qiao Qiao and the others, he wouldn't stop them if they wanted to be with their father beast.

"Tomorrow I will continue to take Qiao Lie up the mountain to hunt. You stay in the tribe and protect them."

"it is good."

Early the next morning.

Qiao Xixi got up very early.

Last night when Qiao Lie came back, he said that there were many fish and beasts in the stream in the tribe.

Qiao Xixi wanted to make red fruit fish and meat soup, so she decided to go to the stream to catch fish today.

After seeing the father and son off, Josie made a very simple basket out of hay and planks.

"Jin Lin, let's go to the stream first."

Jin Lin walked out of the stone house, somewhat uneasy.

"Are you sure you don't need me to come with you?"

"The courtyard wall is only half finished. Weren't you going to cut down trees? Don't worry, we'll be fine in the tribe."

Jin Lin was still worried, but Qiao Xixi insisted, and since Xiaoxi wasn't far from here, he could only let her have her way.

"I'll come find you after I get back from cutting down the trees."

"it is good."

Qiao Xixi carried a basket and led the two babies towards the stream.

The golden light of dawn spilled onto the water, creating a shimmering, star-like effect, and the air felt exceptionally fresh.

"Let's find a place with lots of fish and animals and put the basket down there."

“I know where it is; I saw it last night.”

Qiao Ang excitedly led Qiao Xixi to the place.

Josie lifted her animal skin skirt and carefully walked down, placing the basket in the water and weighing it down with a stone.

"Ouch!"

Just as Qiao Xixi was about to return to the shore, she stumbled and fell into the water.

"Watch out, female!"

Qiao Qiao rushed over in a hurry and also tripped and fell hard.

Qiao Xixi quickly stood up and hugged her.

"Did you fall?"

"Mother, I'm alright."

Qiao Xixi carried the soaking wet Qiao Qiao to the shore.

She said to Qiao Ang, who was not far away, "Qiao Ang, let's go behind the rock to change clothes. Don't wander off."

Qiao Ang is working hard to dig mud to transport back to build a courtyard wall.

"understood."

Qiao Xixi carried Qiao Qiao and walked towards the large rock not far away.

Fei Yan saw Qiao Qiao being held in Qiao Xixi's arms from afar.

It's his baby!
Without thinking, he rushed towards Qiao Xixi.

After Qiao Xixi reached the big rock, she took out the long tongue vine and buried it in the ground.

"Can the long-tongued vine become a barrier?"

The green vines touched her fingertips and quickly grew into a curtain that blocked the mother and child from view.

Qiao Xixi quickly helped Qiao Qiao change into a clean animal skin dress.

"Wait for the mother, we'll go out after we change our clothes."

"Good~"

Qiao Xixi took off her animal skin skirt and used a clean animal skin to wipe the water droplets off her body.

She picked up the clean animal skin skirt, preparing to change into it.

The long tongue vine was suddenly torn apart by an external force.

When Qiao Xixi turned around, she met a pair of light brown fox eyes.

"Qiaoqiao!"

Happy Dragon Boat Festival, my darlings! May you all have a healthy and peaceful Dragon Boat Festival!
