Perhaps it was because he'd heard too much world-shattering news, but Zelda actually managed to accept that Hu Yan was, at the very least, the first Beast Husband. But the next second, he snapped back to reality, shaking his head violently and grabbing Hu Yan's arm. "No! How could you marry a…!!"
He caught himself mid-sentence, realizing Hu Yan didn't seem to want to reveal too much about himself, so he immediately clamped his mouth shut.
Zelda took a few deep breaths and forced a smile. "Sorry, I got a little emotional."
Although he reined it in quickly, his earlier shocked expression hadn't seemed fake. He appeared genuinely stunned that Hu Yan would marry Bai Zhi, let alone share a single wife with so many other Beastmen.
On top of that, he was from the Main Star, and he and Hu Yan were good friends.
'All this information,' Bai Zhi thought, 'points to one conclusion: Hu Yan is from the Main Star, and his status there is quite high.'
