Si Yan shifted her gaze away.
He'd missed the chance to show off. Did failing to lift the whale make him seem not strong enough? Mu Xiao felt a bit frustrated. The feathers on his body drooped slightly.
"This fish is too big. If it were just a little smaller, I could..."
"You're injured; it's not suitable for you," Si Yan said calmly, looking at the enormous little whale. Seeing its pitiful, pleading eyes, her heart softened further.
While Si Yan was trying to think of a solution, Mu Xiao sniffed and said, "Little female, never mind him for now. Look, there are traces of other Beastmen nearby."
Si Yan cautiously scanned her surroundings. "So, this merman was dragged ashore by other Beastmen?"
Mu Xiao nodded. "It's highly likely."
Si Yan judged, "They must either be very strong, or there are many of them."
Dragging such a large merman from the sea to the center of the island would require considerable strength.
Mu Xiao immediately perked up. "My strength is the greatest!"
