Shi Kuang’s eyes darted everywhere except at her face. "I... I suddenly realize I know very little about Sister Qinglan."
"Exactly." Lin Muyu released his shirt with a disdainful snort. "Don’t be fooled by her soft outside appearance."
Shi Kuang blinked, genuinely surprised. "Fooled?"
"Of course!" Lin Muyu crossed her arms. "That gentle and virtuous act is strictly for outsiders! If you knew what she was actually like on the inside, you’d think I was an absolute goddess!"
Shi Kuang stared at her. "...Are you saying you’re not?"
"I’m comparing myself to her!"
"Oh."
"Compared to Qinglan, I’m practically a saint!" Lin Muyu stated with absolute confidence. "If I’m considered a fierce female, Qinglan is the literal Goddess of Fierceness!"
Shi Kuang suddenly remembered all the insane, terrifying rumors he had heard about Su Qinglan’s underlying power and cunning. He wisely chose to keep his mouth shut.
Lin Muyu continued, "And don’t even get me started on the tricks she comes up with." She shuddered slightly. "Sometimes even I can’t imagine what goes on inside that woman’s head."
Shi Kuang’s expression became complicated. "Then why are you such close friends with her?"
"Because she’s fun!"
"..."
"Besides," Lin Muyu added, grabbing Shi Kuang’s leg so hard he nearly tripped over his own feet, "do you really think you can tease me and get away with it?"
"Momo!" he squawked, balancing on one foot.
She gave him a fierce, commanding glare. "Say you’re sorry."
"I’m sorry!"
"Again!"
"I should have kept my big mouth shut!"Satisfied, Lin Muyu finally released his leg. Shi Kuang clutched his foot and let out a massive sigh of relief.
Then, Lin Muyu casually lightly kicked his shin. "Get lost."
Shi Kuang stumbled backward. "What?!"
"You’ve gotten old anyway."
"Old?!"
"That merman brat from earlier was actually quite youthful and cute," Lin Muyu declared, turning on her heel and walking away.
Shi Kuang’s eyes widened to the size of saucers. "WHAT?!"
"I said that brat was pretty cute."
Shi Kuang’s face instantly turned a violent shade of green. "HANDSOME?!"
"Plus," Lin Muyu added with a dramatic sigh, swaying her hips exaggeratedly as she walked, "I’ve never had a merman beastman as a husband before. Seeing how youthful and cute that brat was, I should probably consider taking him as my next beast husband."
Shi Kuang stood rooted to the spot, completely thunderstruck. His brain went entirely blank, and then an explosive wave of pure jealousy erupted in his chest.
He already hated sharing her with her other husband, and now this woman was casually talking about taking that annoying peeping-tom merman brat as her new husband?!
He had dug his own grave, jumped into it, and pulled the dirt over his own head!
"MOMO!"
"I’M SORRY! I’M SO SORRY!"
Still no response.
Shi Kuang officially panicked. He sprinted after her as if his very life depended on it. "Don’t take that brat as your husband!"
Lin Muyu glanced back over her shoulder. "Why not?"
