The White Fox Cub didn't seem to take it seriously, saying perfunctorily, "I, Yanyi, swear to the Beast God to recognize only the little female cub before me as my one and only partner for this lifetime."
Little Hong then added the rest. She would say a line, and Yanyi would repeat it after her, "...the female, Yin Xuan... to protect her with loyalty, and never be unfaithful... to guard her secrets..."
Little Hong also swore an oath to him, promising to treat him well for her entire life and to never transfer his Beast Mark.
When they finished, a white light flew in from outside and entered each of their foreheads. An indescribable feeling of intimacy bloomed between them.
Yanyi found the feeling novel but wasn't averse to it. In fact, it felt like coming home, a sense of security he had never known before.
Little Hong smiled, turned her head, and called out, "Yanyi, come meet your future Couple Brothers. This is a pair of Saber-toothed Tiger cubs, He Xia and He Qiu."
