Rory looked down at her chest in shock. Right next to the beast marks belonging to Yuel and the others, a tiny pink fish rested quietly against her skin.
"Your merman race has this kind of special bonding ritual too?" Rory didn't reject Wen at all; it was just that forming a mate bond this quickly and simply caught her somewhat off guard.
Wen raised his hand, gently stroking her hair as he said softly, "Since I intend to reveal my secrets to you bit by bit, Female Master, I naturally had to place my life and death in your hands first. Only then can you feel at ease, trusting that I will never betray you."
Just how massive was this secret to make him go to such lengths? Rory grew even more curious. She had to admit, Wen had successfully hooked her.
"Well, now that we've formed a mate bond, can you tell me your secret?"
