Xiao Ya trembled and lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Tang Yinâs eyes.
âForget it. Beastman or not, Iâm still better than the snow wolf.â Tang Yin sighed but slowly began to accept her real identity. âBy the way, did you already know I was your daughter?â
Xiao Ya pursed her lips and remained silent.
The spirit beast was familiar with her childâs scent.
From the first moment she saw Tang Yin, she knew this girl was her daughter.
However, she did not tell her daughter because she had no confidence and... She was afraid that her daughter would hate her.
âSince you already knew it long ago, why didnât you tell me earlier?â Tang Yin exhaled. âMy mother was clearly by my side and has saved my life, yet, I didnât know anything about it. Do you know what it feels like?â
Xiao Ya raised her eyes and looked at Tang Yin in panic.
âForget it...â Tang Yin sighed. âI would have found out sooner or later, anyway. Itâs not that hard to accept. I just donât want to be a slave to someone else...â
Xiao Yaâs heart tightened. She reached out and grabbed Tang Yinâs arm.
No. She would never let anyone take Tang Yin away. She would do everything, to the point of risking her own life, to protect her daughter!
âBut...â Tang Yin tilted her head. âYou mustnât let anyone know that Iâm a beastman, especially that woman whoâs clinging onto Xiao Qing. What if... She laughs at me when she finds out that Iâm not human?â
Xiao Ya opened her mouth and lowered her head in guilt.
It was her fault. She was the one who had harmed Yinâer...
âDonât be like this.â Tang Yin looked at Xiao Yaâs sad face. âIâm not saying that being a beastman is not good. I just feel that... Xiao Qing doesnât seem to like spirit beasts. She never allows the snow wolf to hug her, but Qing Ling, Luo Li, and those girls from Iron-Blooded Gate can hug her...â
Tang Yin pouted. âXiao Qing wouldnât let me get close to her back then. What if she doesnât like me now?â
Xiao Ya looked at Tang Yin blankly.
Whether it was the Ninth Emperor in her previous life or the current Feng Ruqing...n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Both were very fond of spirit beasts.
Why did Xiao Yin feel this way?
***
General Manor.
In the east wing of the backyard, Feng Ruqing held her chin and smiled brightly as she watched Ah Hua and other beasts busily cleaning the yard for her.
âThe more you look at this kind of creature, the more you like it. They are not only strong but also can be a good worker,â Feng Ruqing said smilingly. âNan Xian, do you think Ah Hua looks as cute as a dog when itâs working?â
âWell, the more I look at it, the more Iâll like it...â
âIf Qingâer said itâs a dog, and then it is indeed a dog.â Nan Xian smiled gently. âYou should go rest first. I still have a few things to settle.â
Feng Ruqing frowned. âIs it about the woman who was with Feng Lianqing that day? Have you located her?â
âQingâer, you donât need to worry about these things. Iâll settle everything for you.â Nan Xian smiled. âYou just need to rest at home at ease.â
âAlright, you can go but always be safe.â
Feng Ruqing frowned lightly.
âDonât worry. Iâll be safe... You just stay at home and wait for me...â
He was never afraid of anything in this world before he met Feng Ruqing.
