While Na’er Xiu wasn't pleased about An Yao's biased attitude towards both sides, he reasoned that she had a point.
The wandering snake beast that looked unimpressive at first glance turned out to be a hidden half-king-level beast.
Even he, as the sole heir to the most powerful insect king, had only reached the fourth rank as an adult, despite being four or five years older than An Yao.
He hadn't expected to encounter two people like them all at once. One was a wolf beast of similar age, also a fourth-rank beast, while the other, slightly older, had already reached the level of a half-king, just a step away from a true king-level beast. Beastmen all admired strength, regardless of gender.
An Yao's interest in the wandering snake beast might be because of his powerful abilities, making him capable of protecting her.
