Shuang Hua shook her head with a gentle smile. "No, not at all! At my home... it's just me."
She paused, her voice dropping slightly. "I don't have a Beast Husband."
"No Beast Husband?" Bai Wanwan was genuinely surprised this time and couldn't stop herself from blurting it out.
'Shuang Hua must be quite a bit older than me, but she's mature and beautiful, with an exceptional air about her. Her status in the Flood Dragon Clan is clearly not low, so how could she possibly not have a Beast Husband?'
'It just doesn't make any sense!'
A torrent of questions flooded her mind, but Bai Wanwan knew this wasn't the right time to ask.
An understanding and appropriately apologetic expression appeared on her face. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have pried. In that case... I'm afraid we'll be troubling you."
"It's no trouble at all! Follow me!" Shuang Hua seemed to force herself into good spirits, as if shaking off the earlier gloom, and enthusiastically led the way.
