Xijing felt the fluctuation in his aura and knew he had noticed.
"I caught that male Wandering Beast last night."
He repeated what he had told Feiyan.
Jin Ling's reaction was more direct. "Where is he? I'll go see him first."
Until he could be certain the other beastman posed no threat to Qiao Xixi, he would never let him get near her.
"In the empty house closest to the tribe's main gate."
"Mm."
Jin Ling turned and went downstairs.
But he didn't leave the inner city. Instead, he went to the kitchen first.
He didn't trust Feiyan with breakfast.
Qiao Xixi was woken by hunger. The moment she opened her eyes, she smelled the rich aroma of meat broth.
She got up, dressed, and opened her door to see the cubs standing outside. When they saw her emerge, their eyes lit up as they gazed at her.
"Qiao Ang, when did you all get back last night?"
"Mother, we slept at Grandfather's last night. Grandfather said it was too late and worried we were too tired, so he had us sleep there."
