Yu Ling was displeased that as soon as she arrived, the Beast King asked for Qiao Xixi's whereabouts.
"She didn't come. She said if you want to see her, you'll have to go in person."
The Beast King's pupils contracted. A flash of fury crossed her eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.
Just as Yu Ling thought the Beast King would be furious, she heard her say, "Help me up."
Yu Ling's eyes widened in shock. "Mother, what are you doing? You're the Beast King! How can you go see her? She's just the whelp of a Wandering Beast!"
The Beast King just frowned and repeated, "Help me up."
Yu Ling didn't dare interfere too much with the Beast King's decisions. Though she was unhappy, she still helped her up.
When the gate to Feather Palace's courtyard was knocked on again, Qiao Xixi thought Xijing had returned.
She trotted over to open the gate, not expecting the visitor to be the Beast King.
