"Someone just broke in. I'm going to see what's going on."
Jin Ling wasn't about to let her go alone. He threw off the covers, got dressed, and led her out the door.
Just as they stepped outside, Qiao Xixi saw Sunxiao pinning a female to the ground with his foot, his face devoid of expression. The cry of pain from before had come from her.
"Let... let me go."
Qiao Xixi walked over for a closer look. The female on the ground was covered in dust, her beast-pelt clothing looked old and worn, and some of the fur had been rubbed completely flat.
Her exposed hands revealed just how thin she was. Her gauntness made her facial features seem more pronounced. That, combined with her listless eyes, made it clear she was a female who had fallen on hard times.
Most importantly, her long hair was a single, solid color, indicating she had no beast-husbands.
"Who are you, and why did you break into Feather Palace?"
Qiao Xixi told Sunxiao to move his foot so the woman could speak.
