I Transmigrated as a Villainess to Raise Babies, and My Beast Husbands Are Fighting Madly Over Me!

Qiao Xixi finished her exchange, then hugged the sleeping Qiao Qiao in her arms and closed her eyes as well.

The next morning, just as Qiao Xixi was leaving with Qiao Qiao, a male leopard beastman blocked their path.

Qiao Xixi’s expression didn’t change as she looked at him. "Can I help you?"

The male leopard beastman said, "I saw you at the market yesterday. You can treat illnesses."

Qiao Xixi nodded. "I am a Priest, and my female cub has a Healing Skill. We can indeed treat illnesses."

"My mistress is ill. Can you come with me to see her? I’ll give you 10 Crystal Coins."

Qiao Xixi didn’t agree immediately. Instead, she asked, "Where do you live?"

"You’ll find out when we get there."

"I can go, but I need my mate to come with us."

The male leopard beastman seemed displeased but agreed nonetheless.

Qiao Xixi had Qiao Qiao go and get Sunxiao.

The male leopard beastman’s gaze swept over Sunxiao. Because Sunxiao had used a powder to conceal his aura, to the leopard, he was just an ordinary snake beastman.

"Let’s go."

Jin Ling and Feiyan stood at the second-floor window, frowning as they watched Qiao Xixi’s group depart.

"Are you sure we don’t need to follow them? Can that snake really handle it?" Feiyan’s eyes were filled with distrust for Sunxiao.

"Just stay home, Father Beast. You can’t go making trouble for Mother."

Feiyan shot his cub a mournful glance. ’How would I be making trouble? I’m just worried about Xixi!’

The male leopard beastman led Qiao Xixi and her companions through several secluded paths in the tribe. They finally arrived at a tall stone house situated at the very highest point of the settlement.

"Wait here. Once you’re inside, you must not tell anyone what you see or hear."

"What sort of patient needs this much secrecy? You’re not going to cure the illness and then refuse to let us leave, are you? If that’s the plan, then we won’t be treating anyone."

Qiao Xixi finished speaking and made to leave.

This move completely dispelled the male leopard beastman’s suspicions. After all, someone who wasn’t afraid when threatened would be the truly suspicious one.

"I won’t. If you cure her, I’ll give you even more Crystal Stones."

"That’s more like it."

Hua Qing pushed open the heavy wooden door and led them inside.

The structure of this stone house wasn’t much different from their own, only taller and larger.

After entering, they walked down a long corridor, and then two more just like it.

Sunxiao followed them at an unhurried pace. His gaze seemed casual, but he was memorizing every step of the way.

After passing through another wide stone door, they finally arrived before a standalone stone house.

This stone house was different from the others. Its stone walls were decorated with numerous blooming flowers and painted with colorful dyes made from petals. One couldn’t help but guess that a particularly cheerful and optimistic beastman must live here.

They had encountered many patrolling and guarding male beastmen on their way here, but outside this particular courtyard, there wasn’t a single one.

Hua Qing pushed open the door, ushering Qiao Xixi and her companions inside.

But when Sunxiao tried to follow them in, the leopard beastman blocked his way. "You wait out here."

Sunxiao’s expression turned menacing, his serpentine pupils narrowing.

"Wait outside for a little while. We’ll be right out."

Qiao Xixi gave him a reassuring look, and only then did Sunxiao nod and take a step back.

Hua Qing followed them in and closed the door.

Once inside the courtyard, Qiao Xixi discovered that it, too, was filled with vibrant flowers.

"These flowers are so beautiful."

At her words, the male leopard beastman’s gaze softened. "My mistress loves flowers, so I keep the courtyard full of them, except during the cold season."

"Then your mistress must be a very gentle and beautiful woman."

Hua Qing’s expression softened even more. He walked ahead and pushed open the door to the house.

"Mistress, I’m back."

Inside was a small but warmly decorated stone room.

Inside the stone room, a female in light yellow animal-hide clothing sat quietly at a table, sewing with a bone needle.

She looked up at the sound of Hua Qing’s voice.

Two rounded deer antlers sprouted from her head. Her long, dark brown hair was casually tied back with a leather strip, with only a few stray strands falling forward.

Her eyes were large and round, and her gaze held an inexpressible gentleness. She seemed to be about the same age as Qiao Xixi, but she lacked the vitality of a young woman. Her face was exceptionally pale, adding a heart-wrenching fragility to her gentle demeanor.

"Hua Qing, you’re back." Her gaze shifted to Qiao Xixi with a hint of confusion, but it was quickly replaced by a gentle smile.

"Yes. Why are you up? Didn’t you say you were feeling dizzy this morning?"

Lingmiao smiled. "I’m feeling much better now. I got bored and wanted to find something to do. And they are...?"

"Oh, they’re outsiders who recently came to the tribe. Their healing abilities are incredible, so I asked them to come take a look at you."

For a moment, a shadow passed over Lingmiao’s gentle features, but she quickly composed herself and invited Qiao Xixi and Qiao Qiao to sit.

"What an adorable little one. Do you like fruit? Hua Qing, didn’t you bring back some fruit earlier? Go get some for our guests."

Hua Qing got up to get the fruit.

"Please, don’t trouble yourself. We’re just here to examine you."

But Lingmiao said, "It’s no trouble. I haven’t had any other beastmen visit in a long time. I’m very happy you’re here. As for my illness... it can’t be cured. And I’ve made my peace with that."

Even without being a doctor, Qiao Xixi could tell Lingmiao was in very poor health. She was already slightly out of breath after just a few sentences.

’Originally, I just wanted to use this as a chance to get into the inner city on the mountaintop. But if I can, I wouldn’t mind actually curing this beautiful, gentle woman.’

"Auntie, I’m really good! I can definitely cure you!" Qiao Qiao chirped.

Lingmiao couldn’t resist gently pinching Qiao Qiao’s cheek. "You’re just so cute, little one. But I’ve had my illness since I was born. It’s very difficult to treat."

"How can you be so sure we can’t cure it when you haven’t even let us take a look?"

Lingmiao just smiled and nodded gently. "Alright, then. Take a look. Can you cure me?"

Qiao Xixi didn’t have Qiao Qiao start right away. Instead, she asked Lingmiao to hold out her hand so she could take her pulse.

’Little Demon, quick, help me check. What’s wrong with her?’

’Host, I’m just a system, not a doctor.’

’Just look like I told you to. Cut the crap.’

’Oh.’

’Hiss... The problem seems pretty big. This Deer Clan female has a congenital deficiency. On top of that, she depleted her vital essence during childbirth. I’m afraid she doesn’t have much longer to live.’

’Is there no way to treat it?’

’There is, Host. There’s medicine in the Store. You can exchange for it, but... it’s not cheap.’

’How many points?’

’500.’
