Due to their physiology, Male Beastmen go into heat every three months. This condition can be suppressed with injections, and Ares had always gotten them in advance in the past.
However, because of his recent marriage, Ares had stopped the injections.
Furthermore, injections were not permitted without a female master's consent, so the sudden onset of his heat caught Ares completely off guard.
Deep down, he didn't want the injection, but he was uncertain if Lu Xiao would help him through his heat.
As he grappled with this internal conflict, the moment Lu Xiao entered his Spirit Sea, she discovered that his tangled spirit silks were, for some reason, exceptionally active tonight.
This made Lu Xiao curious. 'What on earth is Ares thinking? He's clearly acting a little strange tonight.'
But since she was in the middle of performing Spiritual Soothing, it wasn't a good time to ask.
