A familiar sound drifted from the distant jungle.
Xi knew An Jin's footsteps by heart. He gave a cheerful flick of his tail, sweeping the bloodstained water and fish carcasses far down the river.
In the blink of an eye, he had cleaned up all traces of his hunt, leaving no sign of what had happened.
As the female approached, Xi saw the changes in her body and was utterly stunned. Her skin was delicate and completely revitalized, making him yearn to reach out and touch it.
"Ah Jin, you're so beautiful! You're truly the most beautiful female I've ever seen!" Xi nibbled on his fingertip, his fair little face blushing pink as he peeked at An Jin, his eyes filled with delight.
'He's really laying on the flattery thick.'
An Jin shot him a speechless look. "..."
'This Little Merfolk's sense of aesthetics is a little skewed,' she thought. But since the changes were indeed so obviously pleasing, she didn't say anything more.
