Chapter 448 What exactly does she see in you?

Just as Joey and the others concealed their presence in the shadows, they saw Han Lie emerge from the Beast King's palace with a gloomy expression.

Behind him followed several beastmen of the Spirit Control Sect.

As they walked past Joey and his group's hiding place, a male golden lion following behind them suddenly stopped and looked sharply in their direction.

Han Lie noticed the change in his aura and stopped. "What's wrong?"

The male golden lion said, "There's an unusual aura over there."

Han Lie glanced in the direction where Joey and the others were hiding, then said to the beast soldiers behind him, "Go and take a look."

Sang Ze crossed his arms, leaned against the wall, and raised an eyebrow. This male golden lion was quite perceptive.

Joey released his aura in an instant, "You all stay here."

Jin Lin and the others did not move.

As soon as the beastmen approached, Joey stepped out from the shadows.

“Joey.” Cold, serpentine eyes narrowed as he scrutinized Joey from head to toe.

Han Lie frowned. "What are you doing here?"

Joey said without changing his expression, "The Beast King took my cub, so what do you think I'm doing here?"

Han Lie's tense expression relaxed slightly. He knew that Qiao Xixi was in the Beast King's Palace, so it wasn't surprising that Qiao Yi had come looking for her.

"She's only staying here temporarily, so don't do anything rash."

Joey didn't respond to his question, but instead asked, "You still haven't found your son?"

After saying that, Han Lie's face darkened even more. "This has nothing to do with you. Even if my child is missing, some things are none of your child's business. Get out of here."

Once he realized that Joey had only come for Joey, Han Lie didn't bother arguing with him anymore and turned to leave with his men.

After they left, Jin Lin and the others emerged from the shadows.

Joey said in a deep voice, "I'll stay here tonight, you all go back."

Feather Palace has beast soldiers watching over it. If no one is around for a long time, it might arouse suspicion. It's not that Joey can't confront them, but she doesn't want to ruin Joey's plans.

Inside the palace stone house.

As the fur coat slipped off, Josie shivered slightly against his cool chest.

"cold?"

A low, husky voice sounded in her ear, and Qiao Xixi responded with a soft "hmm."

A slightly cool kiss landed on her heart, and she steadied herself by holding onto his shoulders as he lifted her up.

The teasing, light bite made her gasp for breath.

"Falcon Owl..."

"There is a spot that is scalding hot."

Her soft body slowly descended, and Qiao Xixi frowned slightly, tightening her grip on him.

At the height of their passion, the falcon let out a low growl of pleasure, and the little hand holding him clenched until it turned white.

The intense spray made her lower back feel hot, but she didn't know that the pattern on her lower back was being silently drawn again, forming a beautiful picture on her lower back.

Just wait for your breathing to become even, and the pattern will disappear.

Qiao Xixi leaned against Falcon Owl's chest like she had no bones, listening to his strong heartbeat and steady, slow breathing, feeling incredibly at peace.

For two consecutive days, there was still no trace of Yu Ling and the others in the palace. It was as if the two had vanished into thin air, completely disappearing without a trace. During these two days, the Beast King was initially somewhat wary of Qiao Xixi approaching the secret passage on her own.

But on the third day, when Qiao Xixi went to the secret passage again, the Beast King was too lazy to follow her.

As the queen of Beast King City, she doted on Han Lie and his two cubs to the extreme, but that did not mean she did not have other beast husbands.

However, over the years, under the chilling pressure, those beastmen have had few opportunities to get close to the Beast King.

Now that Han Lie is busy searching for Yu Ye and Yu Ling, he can't always be by the Beast King's side, which gives other beastmen the opportunity to get close to the Beast King.

Early in the morning, Qiao Xixi arrived at the Beast King's inner palace again. As soon as she reached the door, she heard seductive music coming from inside. Instead of avoiding it, she leaned against the door and guessed which beast husband was taking the opportunity to curry favor with her.

After the commotion inside subsided, a handsome male fox came out shortly afterward.

He glanced at Qiao Xixi, his eyes still lingering with desire. When he saw her, he even glared at her with some hostility.

Qiao Xixi raised an eyebrow. Was he blaming her for interrupting their tender moment?

That can't be right. She waited quietly at the door after she arrived. If anyone is to blame, it's him for not having enough time!

After the Beast King finished tidying up, Qiao Xixi went inside.

"Beast King, I want to go down and take another look."

The Beast King leaned against the bed, his animal skin garment slightly open, bearing the marks left from earlier.

Hearing the noise, she slowly opened her half-closed eyes and looked at her with a cold gaze.

"If you can't find that thing, I'll have to sacrifice you."

Qiao Xixi's brow twitched. "Beast King, didn't you say that after this cold season..."

The Beast King let out a soft snort of slight annoyance.

"It's all because of you that all the monsters in the forest didn't disappear, which caused Yu Ling and Yu Ye to be captured by the monsters. Only if you sacrifice yourself will the monsters disappear and they can return safely. Compared to them, what else matters?"

Although she had long known that she was just a sacrifice in her eyes, she was still furious to hear such dismissive words from her again.

It wasn't the illusory family affection that angered her, but rather her arrogance that completely disregarded a life.

"Okay, I agree."

"what?"

The Beast King immediately regained his senses.

Josie smiled at her, "I said, the Beast King can sacrifice me now to save your cub."

The Beast King looked bewildered, but quickly frowned. "What trick are you up to now?"

Qiao Xixi shrugged indifferently.

"It's nothing, I just feel bored. I'll have to sacrifice myself sooner or later anyway, so let's do it now. But I don't know if Yu Ye and the others will be able to come back after I'm sacrificed. However, before that, I will tell the city lord of Tiger Beast City, Winged Beast City, and Elephant Beast City about the method of refining crystals."

The Beast King's expression was so dark it seemed to drip black water. "You're threatening me."

Qiao Xixi looked innocent. "If the Beast King says so, then it is."

The Beast Queen was furious. She wished she could strangle Josie right now, but she knew that if Josie were to really get hurt, Joey and her beast husbands were capable of anything.

"What are you still doing here? If you're not going to get off, then get out of here."

Qiao Xixi raised an eyebrow and walked to the wardrobe, opening it. But instead of going downstairs, she looked at the Beast King with a puzzled expression. "I'm really confused. What did your mother see in you that made you the successor?"

Enraged, the Beast King grabbed a cup from the table and smashed it at her, yelling, "You're asking for it!"

Seeing that she had been hit where it hurt, Qiao Xixi raised an eyebrow. It seemed that there was something fishy about the succession back then.
