Xu Chi's worldview was shaped by his inherited knowledge and years of experience.
Hardened by his trials, he had come to view the laws of nature with a detached calm. He had no attachments, so he had always watched the Beast Tides from the sidelines with cold indifference.
In his eyes, there was no difference between Fierce Beasts and the Beastmen who preyed upon the Horned Deer for their own gain. He didn't consider any of them to be his kin.
Now that he had his own female, all he cared about was ensuring the safety of their family. Nothing else mattered.
Si Shuo tilted her head up, grabbed his ear, and pulled him down until they were eye to eye. She said seriously,
"Xu Chi, you're not alone anymore. You need to think with a bit more compassion.
If you see the world too clearly, you lose all the joy in life. We Beastmen aren't like Fierce Beasts; we have our own happiness and sorrow, our own hopes and fears. It's okay to indulge yourself a little.
