That was how they ended up at the slave trader's place.
Still, seeing so many people crammed into cages against their will was an unsettling sight.
Though he was still a little frightened, the warmth of Qiong Xing's hand gave Ars the courage to slowly look around.
"Would you rather have a man or a woman?"
"If it's a human, I'd prefer a man. But if it's a beastman, either is fine. They're incredibly strong. Even the women could lift someone my size without any trouble."
"...Seriously?"
Ars knew Leander, the beastman who stayed by Qiong Xing's side, was large and powerful just from looking at him.
But he had never imagined the women were just as strong.
"Then when your kids grow up, they'll be that strong too?"
"Probably."
"..."
Ars still remembered what it had felt like to hold Qiong Xing's baby before.
Everything had been so soft and fragile.
That tiny infant who could neither speak nor walk on her own growing into someone that strong was almost impossible to imagine.
