While Mo Yan was dealing with Tan Si and the Black Shot Crows, Mo Qiang was sitting in front of the small hybrid who was kneeling on the ground. He was a beautiful being, if she ignored the feathers that were sticking out of his back, he did not look any different than a mer.
With a tiny stature, long black hair and amber eyes that flickered left and right as he introduced himself, " My name is Feng Jue, Caw. You really saved my life by killing the Giant Parasite Queen, Caw. I will never forget your grace, Miss Qiang, Caw."
" You… can you talk without using the caws? Or are you using the caws to emphasize your identity as a half-crow?" Mo Qiang asked while looking at Feng Jue who tilted his head and looked at Mo Qiang with an innocent look in his eyes.
He then said, " I have no idea what you are talking about, caw. This is how I was taught how to speak, caw. And I don't need to emphasize my identity, I am a half crow, caw."
Mo Qiang felt her lips twitch as she looked at the hybrid. She did not know whether she was the one who was unlucky because it was her bad luck that she met with such characters each time. Not only was she unlucky enough to have a set of weird husbands, she couldn't even get decent accomplices.
" So, you are the son of the tribal leader of the Black Shot Crows? I thought that the Black Shot Crows were just mutated monsters, how come there is a half-human tribe living within them?" Mo Qiang questioned, she too wanted to find out how Feng Jue and his tribe came into existence when Xiao Jiao firmly believed that they were not supposed to exist in the first place.
Xiao Jiao also turned her head to look at the hybrid with a hiss. For some reason, she couldn't settle down after seeing two unexpected species existing at the same time at the same place. Thus, even when she tried to calm herself down, she couldn't help but feel a subtle animosity towards Feng Jue.
For her to accept a species that was not supposed to exist in the first place was similar to asking her to digest Shao Hui's cooking!
" My great-grandmother was the first one to awaken, she became a sentient being and was thus captured by a group of hunters before being sold caw," Feng Jue explained, his hands resting on his knees as he stared at Mo Qiang and continued to speak, " I heard from my grandmother that my great grandmother went through a bunch of experiment which caused her to morph into half human caw. However, she escaped from the research centre and came to live here caw. That's how our tribe came into existence, caw."
Mo Qiang felt her lips twitch, she almost went down the dirty rabbit hole thinking that some sort of weird hanky panky went between the two species, didn't expect that it was because a mutated being became a sentient being and then morphed into a human.
" You need to quit reading those furry books," Xiao Jiao cast a disdainful glance at Mo Qiang.
