Pampered Beasts: Beautiful Actress, Many Children, Many Blessings

Negotiation? Is there really any possibility of peace talks?

"Mom, the water's getting a little cold, let's go outside!" Just as I was thinking, a sweet, gentle voice rang in my ears, soft and tender, making my heart itch with desire.

Xixi came to her senses and reached out to rub Jiaojiao's soft and tender face. It felt so good to touch!

"Mmm!" she replied with a smile, stepped out of the bathtub, and then scooped Jiao Jiao out.

Originally, I thought I would dress Jiao Jiao first to avoid her catching a cold, but to my surprise, the little girl stood on tiptoe and dragged a bathrobe that was longer than her to wipe her body.

"What a sweet little girl she is!" she exclaimed, but did not stop her. Instead, she quickly draped a bathrobe over her daughter's shoulders, and the two of them, hand in hand, went to the sofa in the bedroom.

I don't know how Yunxi taught her, but she knows how to dry the hair of such a young girl.

The key point is that it wipes the hair very evenly, from top to bottom, without missing a single strand!

It's even more even than when she blow-dries it herself with a hairdryer!

What an amazing little girl! She's adorable, has a soft voice, a sweet tongue, and is caring. Most importantly, she's incredibly skilled!

There should be a hundred or two more of these adorable kids, and she could live a happy retirement!

I'm lying down!

Just as Xixi was immersed in the blissful tranquility, a sudden gust of wind swept in, violently slamming against the window of the third-floor bedroom, causing it to rattle loudly.

The sudden loud noise startled Jiao Jiao, but the first thing she did after calming down was to reassure her mother, "Mommy, don't be afraid, Jiao Jiao will protect you!"

"Yes, Mom isn't afraid!" Xixi hugged her daughter and walked towards the window with a frown.

Her intuition told her that the strong wind just now was very unusual!

The Southern Continent is located inland, and with its many mountains and hills, such strong winds simply do not exist there.

Moreover, she had lived in the Southern Continent for many years and had never personally experienced such a strong wind!

But before she could reach the window, she heard screams coming from downstairs—the terrified cries of children!

Her expression changed instantly. Without thinking, she rushed to the window, only to see a black panther carrying her civet cat in its jaws. Sharp fangs pierced the civet cat's clothes and her skin, and crimson blood flowed from the corner of its mouth, making it look particularly gruesome.

"Stop!" she roared, but to no avail. The black panther raised its head, and the little fox was thrown into the air, then landed precisely in the panther's mouth.

It chewed excitedly, crimson liquid dripping from the corner of its mouth, and it looked like it was enjoying itself. There was even a hint of provocation in its eyes, as if to say, "What can you do to me?"

"You beast! Give me back my son's life!" In an instant, tears gushed out, blurring her vision and her heart.

She opened the window without hesitation and rushed outside.

At this moment, there are no fancy techniques, only a heart set on revenge.

Black Panther watched her with great interest, remaining motionless, as if he were waiting for her to approach, waiting for her to walk into his trap.

Suddenly, she heard Jiaojiao's voice calling her, desperately calling her, "Mommy, Mommy, it's an illusion, come back quickly!"

Her running steps faltered, and in the instant she turned back, a sense of bewilderment arose, as if the mist surrounding her had dissipated.

But in that instant when she turned around, the black panther, which had been motionless, suddenly moved, leaping over her and pouncing on Jiao Jiao behind her. Then, it grabbed Jiao Jiao and ran wildly into the distance.

"Jiaojiao... Jiaojiao!" she exclaimed.

He hastily released his mental energy, only managing to utter the word "sleep".

As darkness enveloped her, she wasn't sure if the black panther had lingered even briefly, but it eventually disappeared from sight with her beloved Jiaojiao.

She wanted to chase after it immediately, but firstly, she couldn't possibly outrun the black panther, and secondly, she had to take care of the remaining cubs.

Fortunately, just as Jiao Jiao said, everything she had just seen was an illusion. Her little fox was still alive, and her cubs were all still alive!

She thought the children would be frightened and would cry their eyes out, but in fact, they comforted her instead.

"Mom, don't worry, Jiaojiao is very capable, she will definitely be able to escape back!"

"Yes, we were so grateful to Jiaojiao last time, she'll definitely be fine this time too!"

"Mom, are you hurt? That black panther just pounced on you, we were so scared our hearts almost jumped out of our chests!"

"Yes, yes, Mom, you can't do such dangerous things anymore!"

……

"Yes, we can't do such dangerous things anymore!" If she hadn't been bewitched by the illusion, she wouldn't have opened the window without thinking, and Jiao Jiao wouldn't have followed her out, and Black Panther wouldn't have had the chance to capture Jiao Jiao!

It's her fault!

Noticing their mother's low spirits, the others pushed the person who had just spoken to the back. "Mom, we didn't mean to blame you, it's just... um... we all need to be careful!"

"Yes, Mom, I've already checked. All the doors and windows are closed. Black Panther won't come any closer!"

"Mom, why don't you get some sleep? Maybe when you wake up, Jiaojiao will be back perfectly fine."

"Yes, Mom, Jiaojiao will be back soon, so don't worry!"

The night in the forest is dangerous. Orcs' night vision is far inferior to that of magical beasts, so even with an absolute advantage, orcs rarely choose to travel at night.

Now, with the Black Panther watching her like a hawk and the beastmen all inside the Water Palace, even if she could find the Black Panther, she would be no match for him, given her combat strength of less than level ten!

As for the mental command, she had already tried it. The other party's energy threshold was about the same as hers. Even if she took the initiative and said the command, she could only control it for a short moment.

Without the cooperation of a high-level male, this brief moment is completely meaningless!

So, at this juncture, just as the kids said, she really has no choice but to wait!

However, she couldn't help but have some doubts.

Just now, the black panther could have easily pounced on her, or even bitten her throat, but instead, it bypassed her and instead carried away her darling.

It didn't even swallow Jiaojiao right in front of her as in the illusion; instead, it chose to escape when it had an absolute advantage.

why?

Did she frighten it? Or was there something else here that frightened it?

Her gaze fell upon the group of cubs. These cubs were indeed outstanding; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to turn the tables on the black panther.

However... according to the cubs' accounts, they were just lucky, and the black panther's arrogance led them to fall into the trap they had set in advance.
