The male White Eagle approached Si Yan. He ignored the annoying, dark-purple, ugly snake behind her and gently explained, "The Merfolk can only transform into human form once they come of age. Lan Hai has indeed come of age."
Puzzled, Si Yan turned to Lan Hai. "Then why were you so small before?"
Lan Hai looked a little shy. He hesitated before answering, "Mother, I hadn't developed properly before and was also injured. That's why there was a small accident when I transformed. Now, I'm all better."
Si Yan was happy for Lan Hai. "Oh, so that's how it is! Congratulations, little Lan Hai."
Behind Si Yan, the cold-blooded snake beastman's purple eyes fixed on the White Eagle nearby. His aura suddenly chilled. He grabbed Si Yan's arm. When Si Yan looked at him, he slowly offered her his hand, trying to draw her attention to himself.
Hold it? he seemed to ask.
