'Just let it all burn. I'm exhausted.'
A fish beast's tail slapped the back of Qiao Xixi's hand, leaving a red, fishtail-shaped mark on her fair skin.
Without thinking, Feiyan grabbed her hand and asked nervously, "I didn't mean to. Does it hurt?"
Qiao Xixi felt Feiyan was overreacting and forcefully pulled her hand back. "It's fine, it doesn't hurt. Let me help you prepare the fish beast meat."
"No need. You all just wait. I'll get it ready for you to eat."
With a wave of his large hand, Feiyan hoisted the fish beast meat onto his shoulder and carried it outside the cave.
Qiao Xixi frowned with a hint of worry. She recalled the fruit he had smashed to pieces before... 'I have serious doubts about Feiyan's cooking skills.'
Qiao Xixi pulled the cubs into her arms to check them for injuries.
"Mama, we're not hurt. We're perfectly fine."
Qiao Xixi's inspection tickled Qiao Ang, and he giggled as he wriggled out of her embrace.
