Wan Ning did not walk like a normal beast, she stomped. And with every massive, earth-shaking stomp, Xin Yi's stomach slammed against the lioness's rock-hard shoulder.
"Put me down!" Xin Yi yelled for the hundredth time, her voice completely hoarse. "I have rights! I am the Chief Architect of the Neutral Zone! You cannot just kidnap a diplomat because you're jealous!"
"Shut up, twig," Wan Ning grunted, not even breaking a sweat. "Diplomat? Is that a type of bird? You talk too much for prey."
"I am not prey! And Jin Xuan doesn't even like you!"
That was the wrong thing to say.
Wan Ning let out a furious roar, her grip tightening around Xin Yi's legs until she felt her circulation completely cut off.
"He will like me when you are gone!" Wan Ning argued with flawless, unhinged beastman logic. "He is just confused by your weird flower magic! Once the hyenas eat your face, the magic will break!"
