Chapter 467 Taking Back Everything That Belongs to Me

"I just asked the high priest about the situation at the watchtower, but Blaze and the others are guarding there, so there shouldn't be any major problems."

When Qiao Xixi heard what Joey said, she didn't think much of it and instead told him about Sang Ze's situation.

Upon hearing this, Joey frowned. He had previously felt that Sangze's body was somewhat different from that of ordinary males with high beast soul levels.

"The formula for this banned drug must be in Jin Wei's hands."

"Tiger Beast City must have sent orcs for this grand ceremony. Who were they?"

Joey's wolf-like eyes darkened. "It's Jinwei who's here."

Qiao Xixi was very surprised that Jin Wei had actually come to Beast King City, but until now, they had not met any of the beastmen from Tiger Beast City.

"The father beast will go and ask in a bit."

"It's already dark. Why don't you go tomorrow, Father Beast? You're still injured."

Joey thought about it and agreed. It wasn't that she cared about her injuries, but rather that she was worried about the safety of the Feather Palace at night.

After Qiao Xixi finished speaking to Qiao Yi, she looked down and saw that the bowl in front of her was already piled with a lot of meat.

Looking up again, she met Yaoxi's smiling eyes.

"Look at you two, you're just talking. Hurry up and eat."

Qiao Xixi smiled and served Yaoxi some food.

"Aunt Yaoxi, you've worked hard today too, so please eat more."

Yao Xi smelled the aroma of meat and nodded happily. She couldn't remember the last time she had eaten with someone.

The Beast King wanted to torment her and did not allow any orc to show her any kindness. Anyone who was kind to her, as discovered by the Beast King, would be severely punished.

She knew that the Beast King didn't want her dead because she was kind; rather, he felt that letting her die was too easy for her.

Thinking of everything she had experienced over the years, Yaoxi took a deep breath and suppressed her anger.

It's not that she doesn't have a temper; she's just waiting for an opportunity.

After they finished eating, Yaoxi offered to help clear the dishes.

Joey had already prepared bath water for Josh and let her take a shower first.

Qiao Xixi glanced at the dried bloodstains on her body and did not refuse. "Father, you have to see Aunt Yaoxi off when she goes back. We don't know if Han Lie has been caught yet, and I'm afraid it's not safe for me."

Joey nodded in agreement, "Okay."

Yaoxi carried the firewood and threw it into the stove. When she heard footsteps, she turned around and saw Joey walking in.

"Xixi is so thoughtful, but you don't need to see me off. I've been in the palace for many years and can go back by myself."

Joey said, "I've already promised Xixi, so I'll take you there."

Seeing his insistence, Yaoxi didn't refuse, "Okay."

The two walked to the door one after the other, and the moment Joey closed the palace gate, his wolf eyes slowly darkened.

The dark light in his eyes was fixed on Yaoxi.

Yao Xi noticed his gaze and suppressed the gentle expression on her face.

"Let's go."

Yaoxi looked away and walked side by side with Qiaoyi.

“Joey, I’ll only say one thing to you, and I swear to the Beast God, it’s absolutely true.”

Yao Xi looked at Qiao Yi, only able to see his sharp features. "You are my savior, and I like Xi Xi very much. So, no matter what happens in the future, I will never do anything to hurt you and your daughter." Qiao Yi paused slightly, glancing at her sideways. "Not pretending anymore?"

Yao Xi pursed her lips and looked away from his face.

“Joey, I know you’ve suffered a lot over the years, and so have I. What did we do wrong?”

"So all these years you've been putting colorless flowers in Yu Qing's food."

The juice of the five-colored flower is colorless and odorless, but poisonous. Long-term consumption in small amounts will cause the beastmen who consume it to die without realizing it. If one does not know anything about the five-colored flower, one will not be able to detect it at all.

Yao Xi's face tightened. She knew that Qiao Yi had found out about this, because when he returned to the Feather Palace, his first glance at her was full of vigilance.

Yao Xi lowered her eyes, concealing the darkness in them. "She was never meant to be in that position. If it weren't for the High Priest's support all these years, those three beast cities would have stopped paying attention to her long ago."

“If she weren’t useless, how could Tiger Beast City have ever thought of replacing her? Joey, our royal family has ruled Beast King City for hundreds of years. I absolutely cannot let Beast King City fall in Yu Qing’s hands.”

Upon hearing this, Joey showed no particular expression, seemingly uninterested.

In the darkness, Joey's deep voice carried a chilling edge.

"So, when you opened the door for Yu Qing, it wasn't as noble as you claimed. You actually wanted her to leave Beast King City with Han Lie."

"Yes, I want her to leave. The female beast is bewitched by her father and dotes on her. She hasn't even considered whether she has the ability to become a queen!"

As they spoke, the two arrived outside the Yaoxi Stone House.

"Joey, if you're willing to help me, I'll do everything I can to repay you."

After Yaoxi finished speaking, she clasped her hands together and gave Qiao Yi a deep bow.

Joey looked down at her, his face remaining expressionless.

Yao Xi felt her back was soaked with sweat. Joey was one in a million among males. It wasn't that she hadn't fallen for him, but back then, Joey was assigned to Yu Qing by the female mother.

How could she not harbor resentment? She had endured it all these years, but that didn't mean she was willing to live like this for the rest of her life.

She wants to take back everything that is rightfully hers!
Yao Xi's heart sank little by little as she received no response from Joey. But she was not discouraged. She had already waited for so many years and did not mind waiting a little longer. After all, Yu Qing did not have much time left!
"Poison the Beast King, Yaoxi, you're just as brave as I am. If you can persuade the High Priest, I'll help you."

Yao Xi suddenly looked up, staring at him in astonishment, momentarily forgetting to react.

Joey didn't wait for her to speak again and turned to leave.

Yao Xi watched his retreating figure, clenching her fists excitedly, her eyes reddening.

Joey was not surprised by Yaoxi's transformation.

How could someone who was once groomed to be the successor of the Beast King be a weak and ignorant beast? All the pretense was just a prelude to deliver the most fatal blow to the enemy at the crucial moment.

As soon as Joey entered the courtyard, she saw Qiao Xixi poking her head out of the stone house. Her long hair was still damp with moisture. Joey frowned. This kid, really, isn't she afraid of catching a cold at night?

"why are not you sleeping?"

"My father hasn't returned yet, I can't sleep."

Joey glanced at the falcon's stone house. "Is it waiting for me, or for that snake cub?"

Qiao Xixi looked at him and grinned, "Everyone was waiting. What did Father Beast and Aunt Yaoxi talk about that took so long to come back?"

Looking into her son's clear eyes, Joey sighed, "She said she's had enough of her current life."

Qiao Xixi was a little surprised, because Yao Xi seemed to be a very peaceful person.

Joey tapped her forehead. "You're the silliest one. Go back to sleep. That snake cub has its father, what are you worried about?"

Qiao Xixi blinked. It was better that Junxuan wasn't around; she would have been worried if Junxuan were here.
