Looking at the males in front of her, all standing there like they’d lost their souls, Nyx almost felt sorry for them.

Beastmen’s beast forms were indistinguishable from ordinary animals, and since she was a rabbit living among wolves, it wasn’t surprising that they’d mistaken her.

She lightly patted Zayne with her paw to calm him down, and then waved cheerfully at the strangers. “Hi, I’m Nyx, Zayne’s mate.”

“S–She… she talked?”

“AAAAAHHHH!”

“She’s really a female?”

A chorus of shocked cries erupted one after another.

No matter how much they wanted to deny it, the truth was right in front of them. And Zayne wasn’t the type to joke around.

The guy who had just been trying to buy the little rabbit finally realized what he had done. His face turned pale with horror. “N–No, I… I didn’t mean to!”

If he had known this was a female Beastman–and Zayne’s mate, no less–there was no way he would’ve dared to say something so reckless.

He thought Zayne would kill him if he did.

“It’s fine. I know you didn’t mean any harm.” Nyx shook her head and let the whole misunderstanding slide.

She hopped out of the bamboo basket, climbed onto Snow Wolf’s back, and skillfully made her way up to his head, looking out into the distance from her high vantage point.

About a few hundred feet away, there was a vast, flat basin bustling with people and various animals coming and going.

“Is that the Grand Trade Market?” Nyx pointed in that direction.

“Yeah,” Zayne replied, standing tall and steady so she could see further and take in the whole market.

A sight like this only happened once every few years. Dozens, even hundreds of tribes gathered together, with at least thousand people present.
