She coughed loudly into her fist, hoping to hide her flustered expression. "Ahem!"
Bai Ling jumped, her face instantly turning pink. She fidgeted with her hands, eyes darting nervously.
"I-It's not what you think!" she stuttered. "Everyone says… if you kiss your beast-husbands in front of the sacred fire, the Beast God will give you many cubs…"
Su Qinglan's lips twitched.
