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

Chapter 432: Chapter 432: Seize Her

Sangze flopped onto Lei Lie’s beast form without hesitation, making sure to leave room for Feiyan.

Lei Lie snorted, kicking his hooves and shooting fire from his nostrils.

"Keep fidgeting and I’ll throw you off."

Sangze shifted his weight lazily, his voice languid.

"If you throw me off, the little lady won’t be going anywhere."

The snorts from Lei Lie’s bull-like nose grew rougher. ’If it weren’t for the fact that this was the fastest way to get everyone to the palace, there’s no way I, a dignified Beast Guard, would endure this humiliation!’ He’d never let a female ride his back in his entire life, and now, two grown males were sitting on him.

Sunxuan silently came up behind Sunxiao again. "I’ll carry you."

Sunxiao’s indifferent gaze darkened. "There’s no need."

Sunxuan frowned. "You kid..."

Before Sunxuan could finish, Sunxiao walked straight over to Qiao Xixi.

Qiao Xixi was already sitting on Qiao Yi’s beast form.

Seeing him approach, Qiao Xixi asked with concern, "It’s still a long way. Will you be able to walk?"

Sunxiao nodded. "Yes."

They walked to the water’s edge, where Canglan was already waiting.

Seeing Qiao Xixi and her group approach, he tilted his head back and let out a long, deep call across the water’s surface.

A moment later, the water rippled, and a giant turtle slowly swam over.

Chi Yan, Yun Ji, and Lei Lie jumped on first, with Qiao Yi and the others close behind.

Yun Qiong flapped his wings, but just as he was about to take off, a cold snake tail coiled around his talons.

He glared back, annoyed. "What do you think you’re doing, coiling around me?!"

Sunxuan glanced in Sunxiao’s direction. "I’ll go."

Yun Qiong snorted. "And you think going will make that cub of yours finally acknowledge his useless father? Hey—!"

Before Yun Qiong could finish, he was sent flying.

"Sunxuan, I’ll get you for this!"

...

Within Beast King City, Yun Ming led the monsters in a bloody charge toward the royal palace.

But suddenly, the blood moon in the sky began to lose its crimson color, fading to a silvery white.

Yun Ming’s expression changed drastically. The moment the pale moonlight touched him, he felt his energy rapidly draining away.

It wasn’t just him. The monsters who had charged out with him went from ferocious beasts to mere fodder for the beast-soldiers’ claws.

Standing on the palace walls, Yu Ye noticed the change.

"What’s happening? How did the monsters get so weak?"

Han Lie looked up at the moon, surprise flashing in his eyes. ’Why did the monsters’ energy suddenly weaken? Could it be... they’ve found Qiao Xixi?’

"Father, what are you talking about?"

Han Lie didn’t answer, merely shaking his head to himself. ’Impossible. If she had already been sacrificed, the monsters wouldn’t still be here.’

Then, he turned to Yu Ye. "Yu Ye, the monsters’ power has waned. Take the beast-soldiers, charge out, and kill them all."

Seeing that the monsters’ imposing aura had faded, Yu Ye lost his earlier fear. He leaped into the air, shifted into his beast form, and with a great roar, led the beast-soldiers in a charge against the monsters.

As more and more beast-soldiers swarmed forward, a look of bitter unwillingness flashed in Yun Ming’s dark red eyes.

"Back to the forest."

"ROAR."

The monsters quickly retreated toward the forest.

By the time Qiao Xixi and her party arrived in the forest, the number of monsters had dwindled significantly.

But the woods were littered with the corpses of monsters and beastmen, a testament to the fierce battles that had taken place.

Whether it was because the monsters’ energy was suppressed or because Qiao Yi’s group was so strong, they only encountered a few scattered creatures on their way out of the forest—hardly a threat at all.

The moment they stepped out of the Thunder-swallowing Forest, Qiao Xixi let out a sigh of relief.

’Finally, we’re out of this godforsaken place.’

They hadn’t gone far before a squad of beast-soldiers came running toward them.

The beast-soldiers approached, their expressions surprised when they saw Chi Yan and his companions.

After a moment of astonishment, the soldiers all bowed deeply.

"Lord Chi Yan, how did you all get out?"

Chi Yan stepped forward. "We have urgent business with the Beast King."

The beast-soldier acknowledged and led the way.

The forest entrance was not far from the royal palace.

A flying beast-soldier had already gone ahead to the palace to inform the Beast King that Chi Yan and the others were requesting an audience.

At that moment, the Beast King sat on her throne, her expression full of heartache as she looked at the cuts on Yu Ye’s face. She was personally applying medicine to his wounds.

Hearing the soldier’s report, she paused and frowned.

"Why are they here? Did something happen at the Watchtower?"

Han Lie, standing to the side, tried to reassure her. "Your Majesty, please do not worry. The blood moon has passed and the sky has brightened. This means the Beast Guards have suppressed the monsters beneath the Watchtower."

The Beast King nodded. "You’re right. Otherwise, the monsters that charged out wouldn’t have fled so quickly."

She said to the soldier, "When the Beast Guards arrive, send them in to see me immediately."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The beast-soldier withdrew. The Beast King picked up the ointment again and carefully dabbed at a wound on Yu Ye’s hand. The scratch was barely the size of two fingernails; any later with the medicine, and it would have healed on its own.

Once she was certain Yu Ye had no other injuries, the Beast King had someone put the medicine away.

"Yu Ye, you were very brave this time. Your mother is very pleased."

Yu Ye tried to look humble, but he couldn’t hide the triumphant gleam in his eyes.

"As long as I can ease my mother’s burdens, a small injury like this is nothing."

The look the Beast King gave him grew even softer.

"Your Majesty, the Beast Guards have arrived."

As Qiao Xixi walked in, the Beast King and Yu Ye were still talking. ’How touching,’ she thought.

Hearing the footsteps, the Beast King looked over. Her pupils constricted the moment her gaze landed on Qiao Yi, and a flash of rage surfaced in her eyes.

"Qiao Yi! Who gave you permission to leave the Watchtower?!"

Qiao Xixi was not pleased to hear this. The thought that this female was the cause of all the suffering her father had endured for years made her furious.

’And she, Qiao Xixi, was fiercely protective of her own!’

Qiao Xixi stepped out from behind Qiao Yi and glared coldly back at the Beast King.

"May I ask, Your Majesty, what exactly did my father do wrong to deserve being locked in the Watchtower?!"

The Beast King went rigid, her gaze shifting stiffly to Qiao Xixi.

The girl had long, silvery-white hair tied back neatly, with streaks of other colors clearly visible near her face. She had a small face, but her eyes were large and bright. As they stared, wide and round, at the queen, she felt no fear. In fact, she found the girl’s defiant gaze looked surprisingly innocent.

’She looks quite a bit like Qiao Yi did back then... Still, compared to Yu Ling, she’s a far cry!’

"So, you’re Qiao Xixi."

Qiao Xixi raised an eyebrow. "That’s right. I am."

The Beast King looked back at Qiao Yi and suddenly sneered. "Qiao Yi, it seems you’ve finally realized your mistake by bringing her to me yourself. Very well. On account of you admitting your fault, I won’t hold the past against you. We’ll even clear out a room for you here in the palace."

With that, the Beast King’s cold gaze fell back on Qiao Xixi. "Seize her."
