Chapter 445 All gone
Reason told Mino that she couldn't go down; it might anger her father beast.
But curiosity compelled him to take a step forward.
Seeing that he had already gone inside, Yu Ling followed without hesitation.
The moment the two entered, the stone door behind them slowly closed.
Walking through the dark and narrow passageway, the two felt a chilly dampness permeating the air. Yu Ye took each step very carefully, but after walking for a while, neither of them noticed anything unusual.
The road inside was very winding; after countless turns, the road suddenly opened up ahead.
Mino held up the light-emitting bead and walked around in a circle.
After checking repeatedly, he still couldn't see anything, and then, Ono got angry.
"There's nothing here, Yu Ling, you're lying to me!"
Yu Ling frowned as he looked at the stone walls inside the cave, at the strange patterns carved on them.
"Who told you to be so stupid? I just said it offhand and you believed me. But why is Father Beast making such a mysterious place? There's clearly nothing there."
Yu Ye was also curious, but now was not the time to think about such things. He took out a leather bag from his body and sprinkled the black powder inside into a corner.
This powder can mask their presence; otherwise, if the father beast finds out they secretly came here, he will surely reprimand them.
The two turned to leave, unaware that as they turned, a wisp of black mist slowly rose from the ground, silently approaching them from behind.
Mino realized something was wrong with the aura behind him and turned around warily, but before he could see the other person's appearance clearly, he was surrounded by thick black fog.
"what!"
Yu Ling was so frightened that he froze on the spot, but before he could even utter a cry of alarm, he was also enveloped in black mist.
The two were enveloped in black mist, and when the mist dissipated, they were nowhere to be seen.
The sky turned fish belly white.
Qiao Xixi was woken up by the heat.
She opened her eyes and found herself completely encircled in Jin Lin's arms. Jin Lin's body temperature was much higher than hers, and when their skin touched, she could feel the coolness of her own skin.
She carefully moved away, but as soon as she did, Jin Lin's long arms unconsciously pulled her back into his embrace.
Qiao Xixi was both amused and exasperated. She discovered that all of them had this habit: even when they were asleep, they could keep her precisely from leaving their side.
Qiao Xixi fell back into his arms, lying on his chest and looking at his peaceful sleeping face.
She couldn't help but reach out and gently trace his deep eyebrows and eyes. Thinking back to the scene when she first met him, it felt like a long time had passed.
Back then in the snowy plains, if Jin Lin hadn't appeared, the four of them—mother and her children—would have faced countless hardships.
The more Qiao Xixi thought about it, the hotter her heart became, and she couldn't help but kiss him twice on the cheek.
Just as she wanted to linger a little longer in Jin Lin's arms, she heard a knock on the door in the courtyard.
She glanced at the sky outside; it was barely dawn. Who would come at this hour?
When Joey came out of the house, Falcon had already gone to open the door.
A troop of beastmen arrived at the door.
Falcon looked at them with a cold expression, "What are you doing?"
The beastman asked, "Did you see any other beastmen coming this way last night?"
Joey walked over and asked, "Who is it?"
The beastman didn't say anything, only that he was a "winged beastman."
"No."
The beastman craned his neck and peered into the courtyard.
Joey asked, "What happened at the palace?"
The beastman frowned and simply said, "There might be some monsters that have sneaked in. Be careful."
After saying that, the leading beastman turned to the people behind him and said, "Go and look over there again."
"Okay." As Falcon closed the door, Qiao Xixi had already walked up behind the two of them.
"Father Beast, what's wrong?"
Joey shook her head. "I don't know, but something must have happened. You stay in the Feather Palace today and don't wander off."
Qiao Xixi nodded obediently.
"I'll go make breakfast."
Joey said as he walked toward the backyard.
Qiao Xixi wanted to help but was stopped by Falcon Owl.
Qiao Xixi turned around and met those crimson snake eyes, which now held a desire that she could clearly see.
She couldn't help but think that the two of them were being intimate yesterday when their father beast interrupted them, and she guessed that the giant snake was holding a grudge.
Thinking of this, she was no longer in a hurry to leave. She smiled and leaned against Falcon Owl, hugging his hand.
"Why are your eyes a little dark? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Falcon's eyes darkened slightly, and he simply looked at her and said, "Yes, it's not good."
His room was right next to Jin Lin's, and even though they had been trying to keep quiet last night, he could still hear them clearly.
Qiao Xixi pulled him back to the stone house. As soon as they went inside, she closed the door behind her and stood on tiptoe to kiss him on the lips.
"Then take a nap while it's still early."
Seeing that she wanted to leave, Falcon and Owl wrapped their arms around her and pulled her into their embrace, deepening the brief kiss they had just shared.
The falcon's kiss was domineering and passionate, and Qiao Xixi's body temperature rose accordingly. Her originally clear eyes were soon covered with a thin layer of mist.
Falcon released her only when her breath became thin.
Qiao Xixi leaned on his shoulder, breathing softly. His cool, large hand was pressed tightly against her waist, and she gently pushed him away.
"Wait until tonight..."
A large hand moved up along her waist, and Qiao Xixi gasped softly from the chill. Just as their breathing became erratic, there was another knock on the door in the courtyard.
Qiao Xixi's mind cleared quickly, and she took the opportunity to gently push the falcon away.
"Maybe something really has happened. Let's go out and check it out."
Falcon took a deep breath, looked towards the door, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, but he still restrained himself and put Qiao Xixi down, lowering his eyes to tidy her slightly messy long hair.
As the two left the stone house, Fei Yan had already opened the door first.
"Aunt Yaoxi, what brings you here? Come in quickly."
This time, we came to Yaoxi.
Yao Xi shook her head and whispered to Qiao Xixi, "Xixi, I have something to do, so I won't go in yet. I came here to tell you that Yu Ling and Yu Ye seem to have disappeared. The Beast King is currently sending beast soldiers to search for them in the palace, so you must not wander off."
Qiao Xixi was slightly taken aback. "They're gone? When did that happen?"
Yaoxi said, "They said they didn't find anyone this morning, and they couldn't find them no matter how hard they looked."
"Okay, I understand, Aunt Yaoxi. You need to be careful too."
Yaoxi nodded and left quickly.
After closing the courtyard gate and returning to the living room, Qiao Xixi frowned slightly.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Falcon asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm wondering what's going on."
She didn't care about their lives or deaths, but she was afraid that this matter would delay her search for the source of the Dark Stone. After all, once this happened, the Beast King wouldn't have the mind to care about anything else.
As they were talking, another commotion came from outside the courtyard gate.
