Hearing Ren Qing's words, Su Yu's face paled, and the spoon in her hand clattered into her bowl.
'D-die young?'
Chelms, who was squatting in the corner chopping meat, spoke lazily, "Isn't it normal for cubs to die young? They're weak and fragile, and they haven't awakened their superpowers yet. With no energy to sustain them during hibernation, death is just a matter of time."
Su Yu's eyes instantly reddened.
Seeing her reaction, Ren Qing immediately regretted his words. 'I shouldn't have said that to Yu Yu. I've scared her.'
Shi Wei had just walked out of the room with freshly made sweet cakes. The moment he emerged, he saw Su Yu's red-rimmed eyes and panicked expression. He shot a death glare at Chelms. "Did you make her cry?"
Chelms raised an eyebrow, tilting his head and looking at Su Yu with a smug grin. "Eh? Are you really crying? Go on, cry for me."
Shi Wei's expression darkened. He conjured a Fireball and hurled it at Chelms's face without hesitation.
