Graduate student Xia Qingqing was on her way back to school after a job interview when she was struck and killed by an object from beyond the skies, transmigrating to the food and water-scarce 1970...
Knowing that her superpowers were still intact, Xia Qingqing felt much more at ease.
The commotion nearby grew louder and louder, sounding like tigers and lions fighting in groups!
Xia Qingqing took out a long coat from the system's inventory and put it on, completely covering her nightgown underneath.
Then he changed into a pair of comfortable sneakers before groping his way toward the source of the sound.
When Xia Qingqing was some distance away from the scene of the crime, she could see clearly that it was two tiger cubs and three lions fighting.
Calling them cubs isn't quite accurate. The two tigers were larger than the tigers Xia Qingqing had seen at the zoo before, but compared to the three lions, the tigers did appear relatively small.
Xia Qingqing had no interest in getting involved in the animal fight; instead, she happily watched the show from behind a big tree.
As expected, the two tiger cubs were soon overwhelmed by the lions opposite them, leaving them covered in wounds and uttering helpless howls.
After watching for a while, Xia Qingqing suddenly noticed something was wrong. These two little tigers... why do they look so much like Ali's cubs?
"Could it really be Ali's little tiger cub?" Xia Qingqing murmured to herself.
After all, if she could go to the post-apocalyptic world where Gu Yunshu was, why couldn't she go to the primordial world where Ali was? The extraordinarily large giant trees around her further confirmed Xia Qingqing's guess.
After figuring it out, Xia Qingqing's heart jumped, and she rushed forward to save the two tiger cubs.
"Who are you?" A lion with an ice arrow piercing its paw stared fiercely at Xia Qingqing, and upon closer inspection, a trace of fear could be seen in its bell-like eyes.
How could I not be afraid? This female on the other side can shoot ice arrows out of thin air; it's just too bizarre.
"Naturally, it's the ones who will kill you," Xia Qingqing said with a smirk, her hands moving without pause as an ice arrow pierced straight through the lion's heart.
After killing the three lions, Xia Qingqing exhaled a breath of stale air.
It seems that her time living in the post-apocalyptic world had some impact on her; she became much more bloodthirsty and cold-blooded. You know, she used to be someone who wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken.
The two tiger cubs trembled with fear at the sight of the great demon who had killed three lions without batting an eye.
"Please...don't kill us," one of the tiger cubs pleaded tremblingly, mustering its courage.
Looking at the two adorable little tigers, Xia Qingqing couldn't help but laugh out loud: "A Bao? A Bei?"
"How...how do you know our names?" Abao asked, his eyes wide and innocent.
It didn't remember knowing this great demon, and quickly looked at its younger brother with its eyes for answers.
Abe received a look from her brother and subconsciously shook her head.
“I not only know your names, but I also know your father. I’m your father’s friend,” Xia Qingqing said with a smile.
While the two little ones were in a daze, Xia Qingqing stepped forward and patted their fluffy heads twice. The feel was even better than she had imagined.
Abao stared wide-eyed at Xia Qingqing, then rubbed his hand against hers the next second: "So you're Dad's friend. Thank you for saving us."
Xia Qingqing smiled helplessly. These two little ones are so naive. They believe whatever you say. If they were in modern times, they would be kidnapped by human traffickers in no time.
Thinking of the injuries on the two little ones, Xia Qingqing turned them back into human form so that she could apply medicine to them.
Looking at the two little boys in front of her who looked about seven or eight years old, Xia Qingqing blinked. She seemed to remember that Ali's child was only four years old.
Then I thought about Ali's tall stature and suddenly it didn't seem so hard to understand.
After carefully applying the medicine to the two little ones, Xia Qingqing asked gently, "How did you get here? Where are your parents?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of guilt flashed in the eyes of both children.
However, they wouldn't lie, and quickly told Xia Qingqing the whole story.
It turns out that the two little ones felt they had grown up and secretly went hunting without their parents' knowledge, only to unfortunately encounter the orcs of the Mad Lion tribe.
In recent years, the conflict between the Tiger Tribe and the Lion Tribe has intensified. With Xia Qingqing's help, the Tiger Tribe has become increasingly powerful, while the Lion Tribe, unwilling to have its resources seized, has come to hate the Tiger Tribe.
The three dead lions on the ground were orcs from the Mad Lion Tribe. They were out hunting and happened to encounter Abao and Abei. They wanted to capture the two little guys alive to exchange for supplies with the Fierce Tiger Tribe.
If Xia Qingqing hadn't appeared just in time, Abao and Abei would definitely be in grave danger.
"You're really naughty. You're not allowed to come out alone anymore, do you hear me?" Xia Qingqing tapped the two little ones on the head with a stern face.
Abao immediately nodded: "I heard you."
Abe, mimicking his brother, said blankly, "I heard it."
"Alright, you two take me back to the tribe. I need to talk to your father about something."
Xia Qingqing couldn't help but feel fortunate that she had run into these two little guys; otherwise, she really wouldn't know where to look for Ali.
"What's your name?" As Xia Qingqing led him by the hand toward the tribe, Abao asked curiously, as if he had just realized what was happening.
Xia Qingqing was amused by his question: "You don't even know my name, yet you dare to follow me. Aren't you afraid I'll hurt you?"
Ah Bao tilted his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head: "No, you are Dad's friend."
"What a silly boy," Xia Qingqing said with a smile, ruffling his hair.
"My name is Xia Qingqing, you can call me Auntie."
"Ah, you are the goddess Father was talking about!!" Abao suddenly froze in shock, pointing at Xia Qingqing in disbelief.
They had heard their father mention the goddess's name, Xia Qingqing, which was different from the names of all the other members of the tribe.
Xia Qingqing was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Well, if you insist on saying it, then it is."
She has denied it eight hundred times, but Ali and his people still regard her as a goddess.
"Great! We'll bring the goddess back. Dad will be so happy, and he won't spank us!" Abao said excitedly, like a clever little devil.
Hearing his brother's words, Abe nodded happily: "Great, I don't have to get beaten up anymore, hahaha."
Xia Qingqing: "......"
So she's just a tool to avoid punishment for the two little brats? Should she advise Ali to give the two little brats a loving education?
At this moment, Ali was anxiously gathering his people to search for the two runaway children, while also taking the time to comfort Ahua, who was crying incessantly: "Don't worry, Abao and the others will definitely be alright. I promise to bring them back safe and sound."
