'What are you spacing out for at a time like this?'
Si Shuo quickly pressed her hands against Xu Chi's back, trying to free her legs from his grasp and make a run for it.
But he was far too strong, and she couldn't budge him an inch. Frantic, her eyes started to well up.
"Xu Chi, put me down! That Crowned Eagle Beastman is ugly, he has a terrible personality, and he's a thieving Rogue Beast! I don't want to be taken by him..."
But Xu Chi remained motionless, allowing the Crowned Eagle Beastman to continue his dive, letting out an excited, piercing shriek.
Si Shuo's heart hammered in her chest, and her voice trembled. "Y-You're not in league with him, are you? Or are you trying to surrender, offering me up to prove your loyalty?
I must've had my brain addled by that stink-bug grass to ever think you were harmless and trust you so completely..."
'This beastman is the worst! He's so calculating, lulling me into a false sense of security just to turn the tables on me!'
