Chapter 38 Xixi, I'm in pain

As Qiao Xixi opened the door, Mi Lan and Mi Qi's smiling faces came over.

"XiXi, we've brought you something."

Mi Lan shoved a large bag of fruits she didn't recognize into her hands.

Miki, on the other hand, was carrying a bucket full of fish.

"This is a long-tailed fish beast. It has no bones and its meat is especially delicious. My husband caught it in the water today."

Qiao Xixi looked behind them and saw several males who looked familiar. They must have gone up the mountain with Hongxi to pick cardamom today.

"Have you eaten? Come in, everyone."

Qiao Xixi stepped aside to let them into the yard.

Mi Lan and Mi Qi came in with smiles, but their beastmen didn't move.

Aren't they coming in?

Lynn said somewhat embarrassedly, "We're used to eating raw meat, so we won't go in and disturb you. We'll come back to pick up the female master later."

The beastmen all nodded.

Qiao Xixi didn't insist on keeping them; her courtyard really couldn't accommodate so many tall male beastmen.

Jin Lin also brought his children over.

“Xixi, we heard that the grass fruit you found can be used to extract salt crystals. Today, the clan shaman personally led many males to the mountains to find grass fruit. Now that we have found it, we will have salt to eat.”

The Black Stone tribe is remote and small, and salt has always been a luxury.

"I've refined quite a lot today; you can take some back with you later."

Miki reached out and gave Josie a bear hug.

"Oh, Xixi, you're so kind! I'll definitely save the best tender meat for you from now on."

When Mi Lan and Mi Qi went back yesterday, they got some kindling from Qiao Xixi and tried grilling meat.

Although I haven't quite mastered the cooking process yet, it definitely tastes much better than raw meat.

"I dare not accept that. If you eat too little and get thin, your beastly husbands will blame me."

"No, no, you're a priest now, and the orcs in the tribe respect you very much."

"Yes, Xixi, now that you've discovered salt crystals, everyone admires you even more."

Neither Mi Lan nor Mi Qi lied.

When the orcs in the tribe learned that Milan and her companions had come to find Josie, they were all very eager to bring them things.

Otherwise, the two of them wouldn't have had so many extra things.

"By the way, Xixi, the clan chief will be returning from hunting with the males in the next couple of days. You should go to the altar then; they'll be holding a pre-cold wave ceremony there. It'll be very lively."

“You forgot about Miki. Now that you’re the priestess, Xixi, she has to go to the altar to perform a ritual dance and pray to the Beast God to bless us so that we can safely get through the cold days.”

Miki suddenly realized, "Oh right, Xixi, do you know how to dance the festival dance?"

Qiao Xixi silently picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth.

She will eat...

"What will happen if you don't?"

"It's alright, the clan shaman will definitely teach you."

Qiao Xixi didn't really want to go, but now that she was a priestess, it would be good for her to get familiar with some of the procedures.

"Alright, then I'll go ask the clan shaman."

When Mi Lan and Mi Qi left, Qiao Xixi packed some salt crystals for them.

The two were so happy they almost jumped for joy, saying they would definitely bring Qiao Xixi any delicious food they had.

Qiao Xixi closed the courtyard gate and turned around to see a noticeable scar on the inside of Jin Lin's arm.

Although the wound has stopped bleeding, it is still clear that it is a fresh wound.

She frowned and stepped forward to take Jin Lin's hand.

"Jin Lin, didn't you say you weren't injured while hunting today? What happened to the injury on your hand?"

Jin Lin paused, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and sat down directly on the stone bench.

He lowered his eyes, making it impossible to see the expression in them.

"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."

Qiao Xixi disagreed, saying that even if males recover faster, it's still painful when they get injured.

"Even a small injury shouldn't be ignored. I'll go get some water to wash it for you."

Qiao Xixi went straight into the washroom, brought out water, soaked the animal hide in water, wrung it out, and used it to wipe the wound on his arm.

"Snake fang marks? Did you encounter any snakes or other animals while hunting today?"

Jin Lin's eyes remained fixed on her face. "Yes, we encountered a wandering green snake beast and a gibbon beast. I noticed they had captured a female, so I went to stop them."

Qiao Xixi's expression changed slightly. "A male stray beast has come to the tribe to capture females?"

Jin Lin nodded. "So during this time, you must not leave the tribe alone."

"Ah."

In her memory, Qiao Xixi encountered many ferocious male stray beasts when she was a child. The father beast of her body was killed by other male stray beasts.

She would never wander off to places where danger lurked.

Qiao Xixi didn't ask which female was captured.

Jin Lin didn't say anything, because it wasn't important to him at all.

While Qiao Xixi was in a daze, she suddenly heard Jin Lin groan.

"pain."

She was startled and quickly withdrew her hand.

"I'm sorry, did I use too much force?"

When Qiao Xixi looked up, she realized that Jin Lin's face was almost touching hers.

She tried to back away, but Jin Lin grabbed her lower back and pressed her against him.

Their breaths filled each other.

Qiao Xixi's heart pounded like a drum.

"Xixi, it hurts..."

Qiao Xixi stared wide-eyed in astonishment, only to see her own silly appearance reflected in those deep, golden pupils.

The next moment, a warm breath touched her lips.

At that moment, Qiao Xixi's mind completely exploded.

Jin Lin's lips danced lightly on hers, making her feel a little itchy, and she subconsciously stuck out her tongue and licked it.

His golden pupils instantly became unfathomable, and the hands holding her tightened even more.

While she was at a loss.

Jin Lin took a deep breath, slowly released her, and whispered with his forehead against her, "You said that a kiss would make it stop hurting."

Qiao Xixi wanted to cry but had no tears.

That was all a lie she told her son!

Qiao Xixi pushed him away, turned around and slipped into the room.

"I'm sleepy, I'm going to bed now."

Jin Lin watched her flee in panic, a gentle smile appearing in his eyes.

Qiao Xixi closed the door and immediately saw three pairs of bright, sparkling eyes staring at her.

"It's so late, aren't you asleep yet? Hurry up and go to sleep."

The three babies lay down obediently.

Qiao Ang, who was sleeping on the very edge, snuggled closer to Qiao Lie.

In the darkness, the childlike voice was exceptionally clear.

"Qiao Lie, do you think that big male is no longer capable? He even kisses such a small injury."

Qiao Lie frowned slightly and remained silent, clearly agreeing with Qiao Ang's statement.

Qiao Ang became increasingly dissatisfied as he spoke, "But it doesn't look serious, the wound has already healed."

Qiao Xixi turned around, too ashamed to face her child.

What a disgrace!

"Mother, mother, wake up."

Qiao Xixi opened her sleepy eyes and saw Qiao Qiao's cute little face.

"What's wrong, Qiaoqiao?"

"Mother, the clan shaman has arrived."

Qiao Xixi's drowsiness vanished in an instant; it felt like she had just closed her eyes when it was already dawn.

After getting up and washing up, Qiao Xixi went out into the yard.

"Clan shaman, you've arrived."

The tribal shaman looked at Qiao Xixi, and his eyes changed.
