Mu Qingyi looked down at her at once, and the moment he saw that her eyes were truly asking and not pretending, his expression changed. His usual calm was still there, but a faint shadow crossed his face because this was not something he wanted her to get curious about.
He lowered his head slightly, keeping his voice quiet so he would not add to the panic around them. "Snake beastmen are not like the others," he said. "They are often alone, very dangerous, and difficult to predict. They do not live as easily among tribes, and many of them are rough even by beastman standards. Females avoid them for a reason."
Lin Huahua's ears twitched. "Rough how?"
Mu Qingyi hesitated, and it was Feng Yiren who answered with typical fox bluntness. "The kind of rough that leaves a female crying for all the wrong reasons."
Lin Huahua's eyes widened at once.
Hu Baiyu looked displeased by that answer, not because it was wrong, but because he did not like Lin Huahua hearing it that way.
