Chapter 440 This has nothing to do with you

"Someone just broke in. I'll go see what happened."

Jin Lin couldn't let her go like that, so he lifted the covers, dressed, and took her out of the room.

As soon as she reached the door, Qiao Xixi saw Falcon Owl expressionlessly stepping on a female. The scream of pain she had just heard came from this female.

"Let, let me go."

When Qiao Xixi went over to take a look, she saw that the female on the ground was covered in dust, and her animal skin clothing looked very old, with some of the fur worn down and no longer fluffy.

From her exposed hands, you could tell she was very thin. Because she was thin, her facial features stood out even more, and with her dull pupils, she looked like a female who wasn't having a good life.

Most importantly, she had long hair of only one solid color, which indicated that she had no beastly husband.

"Who are you, and why are you trespassing into the Feather Palace?"

Qiao Xixi asked Falcon to remove her foot so she could speak.

Yao Xi scrambled to her feet, and the moment she looked up and saw Qiao Xixi's appearance clearly, she froze in shock.

“Xixi…”

Josie was surprised that she could call her by name.

"who are you?"

Seeing that Qiao Xixi did not deny it, Yao Xi looked even more flustered. She stood up from the ground and tugged at her animal skin skirt, trying to make herself look less disheveled.

"You probably don't recognize me, because you were only born a short time ago. You were the first baby I've ever seen that could take human form right after birth. You were so beautiful, just like your... father beast."

Qiao Xixi was surprised. Did she recognize her father beast?
Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

"Where has that stupid woman Yaoxi hidden herself?"

"How dare she damage the Beast King's animal skin clothing! Find her and make her pay!"

Yao Xi's expression changed slightly, and she subconsciously wanted to hide. Qiao Xixi also realized that the people outside the door were probably looking for her.

She came to the palace with a purpose and didn't want to meddle in other people's business.

Sure enough, the palace door was knocked on loudly the next moment.

A chilling, menacing glint flashed between Falcon's brows.

Jin Lin didn't say anything, but went to open the door.

The beast soldiers outside the door glanced at Jin Lin and, sensing the aura of a powerful figure emanating from him, slightly tempered their arrogance.

Have you seen a female?

Yaoxi hid in the corner, clenching her fists.

Jin Lin replied without changing his expression, "No."

The beastman sniffed and frowned. "You're lying. I can clearly smell her scent. We need to go in and search."

Jin Lin stood still, showing no intention of moving aside.

The falcon also went over and stood in front of the door, clearly ready to fight at any moment.

The beast soldiers were displeased and tried to force their way in when two tall figures walked over.

What are you looking for?

The beast soldier turned around and saw Falcon Xuan and Joey approaching; their expressions changed.

They couldn't afford to offend the Beast Guards.

"Lord Hayabusa."

Hayabusa simply glanced at them coldly and said, "Get lost."

"Yes."

The beastman turned and left without hesitation.

Falcon Xuan shifted his gaze to Falcon Owl, scanning him up and down as if to confirm if there was anything wrong with Falcon Owl's body.

Falcon didn't even glance at him out of the corner of his eye, turning to walk to Qiao Xixi's side. "Father beast."

Not meeting the boy's gaze, a hint of sadness flashed in Junxuan's eyes, but he quickly regained his usual indifferent demeanor. "I'll go protect the High Priest first. I live next door. Come find me anytime if you need anything."

It's unclear whether these words were spoken to Joey or Falcon, but the latter clearly didn't take them to heart.

As soon as Junxuan left, Joey closed the door.

"Joey?"

Upon hearing the sound, Joey was startled and turned around in disbelief to look at the person behind him.

"Yaoxi?"

Yaoxi couldn't believe that she could still see Joey in the palace, but he was no longer the same as she remembered.

Even more shocked was Qiao Xixi, who never expected that Qiao Yi and Yao Xi actually knew each other.

"Father Beast, do you know her?"

Joey, recovering from his surprise, explained, "Yes."

Joey looked at Yaoxi and frowned. "Let's go inside first."

Looking at her disheveled appearance, Yaoxi felt embarrassed. "I... I'll go wash up."

After thinking for a moment, Qiao Xixi said, "I'll take you there."

Yao Xi looked grateful and said, "Thank you so much."

Qiao Xixi took Yaoxi to the bathroom and gave her a clean animal skin outfit.

After washing herself clean, Yao Xi's eyes were red when she put on the animal skin dress. She couldn't remember the last time she had worn such a soft and warm animal skin dress.

When Qiao Xixi heard the noise and turned around, she could more clearly see how thin Yao Xi had become when she saw her come out.

She was already quite slender, and her animal skin skirt was already considered small, but it still looked rather loose on Yao Xi. How thin must she be?

After washing up, Yaoxi's features were clearly visible. Although she had become so thin that she looked somewhat unrecognizable, it was still evident how beautiful she had been in the past, especially when she smiled, which gave people a very warm feeling.

Qiao Xixi didn't rush to take her out. Instead, she pushed the meat soup that Jin Lin had brought in front of Yao Xi. "Are you hungry? Eat something first before you go. This was made by my father beast. It's delicious."

Yaoxi looked at the meat soup, pursing her lips. She should refuse, but when she smelled the aroma of the meat soup, she just couldn't bring herself to say no.

"thank you all."

The broth was so delicious that Yaoxi cried. Her tears fell into the broth, and she didn't know if they were her own tears or the saltiness of the broth.

"Have you known my father beast for a long time?"

Yaoxi put down the soup bowl and nodded, then lowered her eyes as she thought of the past.

"Yes, your father saved me. He was a really good and brave male."

Fearing that Joey and the others had been waiting too long, Qiao Xixi didn't ask any further questions and led Yao Xi to the living room.

Upon arriving in the living room, Qiao Xixi did not go inside. Instead, she looked at Jin Lin and Jun Xiao. The two understood and stood up from their chairs, walking over to Qiao Xixi.

"Father, I'm sleepy and I'm going to sleep a little longer. Call me if you need anything."

Joey nodded. "Go ahead, get some more sleep."

"Ah."

After Qiao Xixi and the others left, only Qiao Yi and Yao Xi were left in the house.

There was a moment of stillness in the air.

Seeing her like this, Joey slowly frowned. "What have you been through all these years?"

Upon hearing this, Yaoxi looked up, and her eyes welled up with tears the moment she saw the scars on Joey's face up close.

"Compared to you, what I've been through is nothing, Joey. I'm sorry, it's all because of me. If you hadn't saved me, you wouldn't have been misunderstood by the Beast King..."

Joey frowned and sighed. "This has nothing to do with you."
