Si Shuo let out a huge sigh of relief and couldn't help but chuckle. But seeing Xu Chi's utterly clueless expression, her heart ached for him. "Xu Chi, when did you leave your clan?"
Xu Chi gestured to his chest. "When I was this tall. Father told me to leave and not look back. He said I couldn't stay in any tribe for long, and I was forbidden from using my Transformation to fight."
As he spoke, he lowered his head slightly, his voice still cool and clear. "I've always avoided other Beastmen, hunting Wild Beasts every day to raise my Combat Power. I probably don't know much... Si Shuo, are you starting to dislike me?"
Si Shuo slowly walked over and gave his clothes a tug. Just as she expected, she felt his entire body tense up. With a soft smile, she wrapped her arms around his waist and held him tight.
Xu Chi froze on the spot. His hands desperately wanted to defy his brain's control and copy her, to hug her back.
