The manor was just as Yu An had seen it from the outside—European in style, with a castle, a fountain, a garden... it had everything.
The grounds were vast and spacious. Just a simple tour took the two of them a long time.
"I've lived here by myself for a very, very long time," the man said softly. "If it's alright, could it perhaps welcome its new owner?"
Yu An took two steps back, her smile forced. "What do you mean, 'by yourself'? Aren't the Cloud Beasts here too?"
"We've finished the tour. I think finding who I'm looking for is more urgent. Why don't we just..."
"But they don't like me," the man sighed. "And you don't like me, either."
"Little female, I'm so lonely. I know you don't want to stay at all. If you're going to leave, can you take me with you?"
"I can accept that you have other Beast Husbands, and I'll get along with them peacefully. I'm not here to break up this family, I want to join it..."
