"Constant war made it hard to make a living. The Thousand Elephant Tribe was swallowed up by the Jackal Wolf Tribe a few years ago, and we got separated from Li Man and the others. Kemu joined a merchant caravan that traveled between the East and West Continents, and I followed him to live here... Life here is peaceful and prosperous, so we've been settled here ever since."
"How have you been these past few years?"
"Not bad. It's been getting better and better."
As they walked and talked, Sang Luo learned that Ayia had not taken any other Beast Husbands. Their life was busier than other families, but it was fulfilling. However, when war broke out, the disadvantage of having fewer Beast Husbands became apparent.
Ayia happened to be pregnant during the war. Those days were very difficult, but thankfully, they made it through.
"You're one lucky guy, getting to marry such a wonderful female like Ayia," Sang Luo marveled.
