Today was Ming Huang's coming-of-age ceremony, but her entire family of long-since-adult partners, including Xu Ye, could only watch worriedly as the little black bird in their midst happily pecked at melon seeds.
More than a decade had passed. After growing to the size of a seven-year-old, the little female had only filled out a bit sideways, never growing any taller!
"Should we still take our little bride to the coming-of-age ceremony?" Xu Ye asked his brothers, pressing his lips together.
Ever since Yanyi became the Beast King, their Mother and Fathers had been traveling the world, saying they were fulfilling their divine duties to see which Beastmen needed help.
The other young females of the family were also often away from Pingjing City, leaving the eight of them to meticulously care for their little bride.
"Hsss... we should go, right? Maybe if our bride receives the Beast God's Blessing, she'll finally grow up?" Ji Wen said hesitantly.
