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

Chapter 331: I Want to Challenge You

Feiyan made breakfast today.

When he brought the food out, he felt that the way Qiao Yi was looking at him was a little off.

Feiyan recalled what Xijing had said last night. He set the pot down on the table and looked at Qiao Yi. "Langqi, you tested Jin Ling’s combat strength last night. How was he?"

Qiao Yi gave him a cool glance. "A bit stronger than you."

Feiyan nearly jumped to his feet. "You’ve never fought me! How would you know I’m not as good as him?"

Qiao Yi raised an eyebrow. "Then we’ll find out in a little while."

"Fine! We’ll see about that!"

’I don’t believe it!’

When Feiyan turned to go into the kitchen for bowls and chopsticks, Qiao Xixi quickly followed him.

"Feiyan, do you want to beat Langqi?"

Feiyan lifted his chin haughtily. "Xixi, it’s not a question of wanting to. It’s a certainty that I *will* win."

Qiao Xixi...

’Good. She liked his confidence.’

She hugged his arm, motioning for him to lean in closer.

’His fox-like eyes lit up. Xixi definitely wanted to kiss him!’

His big, fluffy tail swished back and forth as he gleefully brought his face close to hers, waiting for a loving kiss from Xixi.

"When you fight Langqi in a bit, just do this... He’ll definitely reveal an opening. That’s when you’re guaranteed to win."

All the fox felt was the warm breath of his little female against his ear, tickling his heart like a feather. As for what she actually said?

’Blah, blah, blah, guaranteed win!’

When Qiao Xixi finished, she saw that he had completely zoned out and reached out to pinch one of his fluffy ears.

"Did you hear me?"

"Kiss me first, Xixi. I guarantee I’ll win in style."

’Qiao Xixi sighed in resignation. How did she end up falling for this lovable oaf?’

She was about to give him a light peck on the cheek, but the clever fox turned his head, capturing her lips. The kiss deepened, passionate and unrestrained, until footsteps sounded outside the door, and he reluctantly let her go.

"Just you wait. You’ll see how I beat Langqi."

Qiao Xixi watched his confident retreat and sighed in resignation.

’Oh well. He won’t learn his lesson until he takes a proper beating. Besides, Langqi knows how to hold back.’

After breakfast, Feiyan challenged Qiao Yi with great fanfare.

Feili nearly dropped his bowl. He shot a quick glance at Feiyan, looking like he wanted to say something, but in the end, he kept his mouth shut.

Xijing quietly set down his bowl, his words laced with concern for Feiyan.

"Feiyan, it would be one thing if you were just asking Langqi for some guidance. But you should know what issuing a formal challenge means."

Jin Ling’s eyes were gentle as he ladled another bowl of soup for Feiyan. "Eat more. You’ll need the strength in a bit to get... hit."

Feiyan looked Qiao Yi straight in the eye. "Langqi, I’m challenging you."

Qiao Yi drained the last of the soup from his bowl, then stood up to face Feiyan. "Alright. I’ll be waiting for you in the open ground behind the inner city."

"Alright."

As Feiyan went to clear the dishes, Jin Ling stopped him with a hand on his. "I’ll get it. You go and stretch."

Feiyan, touched, patted Jin Ling’s shoulder. "Alright."

"Xixi, bring the cubs to watch in a little while."

Qiao Xixi swallowed a mouthful of soup and blinked. "Maybe we shouldn’t..."

’It’ll be so embarrassing for you if all the cubs see it.’

"Mother, I want to go and learn!" Sangqi exclaimed excitedly. "Langqi and Father Feiyan are both really strong. I want to watch!"

Qiao Ang piped up eagerly, "I want to go too! I want to go too!"

"We’re going! Everyone’s going! Today, your father will show you all what a true warrior looks like!"

Qiao Xixi...

There was a large, open space behind the inner city.

By the time Qiao Xixi had tidied up and led the cubs to the open ground, Qiao Yi was already there, waiting.

Qiao Xixi had just sat down with the cubs when Jin Ling pressed a bowl of fruit into her hands. She looked at him in surprise. "Weren’t you supposed to go with the Hunting Team today?"

Jin Ling sat down beside her, a smile in his eyes.

"I had Xijing take my place. He can’t see, anyway."

Qiao Xixi glanced around and, seeing no sign of Xijing, she passed the fruit out to the cubs.

The little cubs held their fruit, watching as Feiyan walked out onto the open ground as well.

Qiao Yi took out a red strip of beast hide and tied it around his head.

"If you can take this strip of hide from my head, you win."

"Deal."

"Begin."

Feiyan leaped into the air with astonishing power. With a sweep of his palm, a cloud of fire shot toward Qiao Yi.

Qiao Yi remained rooted to the spot. Just as the cloud of fire was about to hit him, he took two nimble steps to the side, effortlessly dodging it.

Undiscouraged by the miss, Feiyan moved even faster, launching more fireballs. But, without exception, Qiao Yi avoided them all.

Even so, Qiao Yi didn’t reveal the slightest hint of his aura.

Feiyan’s specialty in combat was a relentless offense, so he never paused, regardless of whether his previous attacks had landed.

CRUNCH.

Qiao Xixi bit into a ripe, pink fruit. Sweet and sour juice instantly filled her mouth.

"At this rate, Feiyan will just wear himself out," Jin Ling commented, watching the two figures locked in a fierce struggle on the field. He was reminded of his own fight with Qiao Yi the previous night.

His own personality was more reserved, and that was reflected in his fighting style. During his bout with Qiao Yi, he had focused on rapidly analyzing for any potential openings Qiao Yi might reveal when he attacked.

’But the terrifying thing was, he had no openings!’

With a loud THUD, a figure was slammed to the ground, rolling several times before coming to a stop.

The half-eaten fruit fell from Qiao Qiao’s hand, and her voice was tinged with tears.

"It’s over," she whimpered. "Langqi isn’t going to beat my father to death, is he?"

Qiao Ang’s little face was tense, and his ears flattened against his head.

Qiao Xixi’s heart leaped into her throat. Even though she knew Langqi wouldn’t go too far, she couldn’t help but feel nervous seeing Feiyan at a disadvantage.

Feiyan quickly scrambled back to his feet and attacked again.

The strip of hide on Qiao Yi’s head fluttered in the breeze. This time, before Feiyan could even get close, Qiao Yi went on the offensive. He targeted Feiyan’s weak points, beating him so thoroughly that he had no chance to retaliate.

AAH!

Feili frowned, holding his breath and saying nothing.

When Feiyan was sent flying again, Qiao Xixi couldn’t stay seated any longer.

"Feiyan, remember what I told you earlier?"

Feiyan climbed to his feet and spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva. Qiao Xixi’s words suddenly flashed through his mind. He gave a solemn nod, braced himself, and closed in again.

It wasn’t as if he’d gained nothing from this fight with Qiao Yi. At the very least, he was becoming much more aware of his own shortcomings.

As he attacked again, he was careful to avoid his previous mistakes.

Finally, he found an opening and got behind Qiao Yi. As Qiao Yi instinctively moved to protect the strip of hide on his head, Feiyan suddenly reached out, wrapped his arms around Qiao Yi’s waist, and tickled him viciously!

Qiao Yi froze, his azure pupils instantly turning blood-red.

He seized Feiyan’s hands, his voice practically ripped from his throat.

"You’re courting death!"
