"Wouldn''t a simple scolding suffice if a female makes a mistake? What happened?"


    "She probably has something to do with the Vexoths," uttered a disheveled male while munching on a piece of dry grass.


    Suddenly, silence nketed the dungeon.


    "Ana, it''s ready. Have a seat," said Fiy. He had gathered the hay in the corner


    of the cell and created a moderate-sized bed. Worried that Analise would feel ufortable, he ced his tail on it to let her sit on it.


    "Hey, man. What did you do to get in here? Why is your girl here as well?" The male from the next cell assumed Analise was Fiy''s partner when he saw how Fiy took care of her.


    However, Fiy did not answer the male.


    The male munching on the dry grass scoffed. "Like I said, it must have something to do with the Vexoths."


    "How do you know that?" Analise walked to the cell door and stared at the male.


    He had a tail, but his hair was too messy for Analise to identify what animal ears he had.


    "The females are ced on pedestals. They''ll never get locked up, even if they beat a male to death. All they''ll get is a scolding and then be given another male


    to beat up.


    "Hence, you must be connected to the Vexoths. After all, they are the enemy of the entire Interster Alliance. Gender is not a factor when dealing with them."


    Analise nodded. "That makes sense. Why are you here?"


    "I killed a male," said the male inly as if it were a normal thing.


    Analise was stunned and chose not to ask further when she thought of what he said earlier.


    Seeing Analise turning around and moving toward the pile of hay, the male hurriedly grabbed the metal.


    "I''m guessing she hit you or your family member," answered Analise softly.


    In the human world, domestic violence was normal-men were the ones who abused women. Simr to the current situation, the mild punishment left women in no position to seek justice.


    However, the roles had switched in the Interster therian world-the men were the helpless ones. That was why Analise felt nothing. Sure, she pitied him, but there was


    nothing she could do.


    In the human world, only some men could refrain from hitting their wives. Simrly, only some females could do the same in the Interster therian world.


    World peace and love between men and women had always been a myth.


    Analise could only promise not to be one of the abusers, but she could never discipline others. She was also powerless and could not help many people.


    Besides, the male had killed a female and was locked away in prison. The oue was already decided and could not be changed.


    The male with the dry grass snickered. "You''re right. But you sound quite calm. The fact that you''re not afraid of the male in front of you proves that you''re a good female.


    "I''m just curious—if you''re a good female, why would you be involved with the Vexoths?"


    The male returned to his pile of hay and dozed off without waiting for Analise''s answer. Meanwhile, Analise was silent for a moment before sitting on the hay in the corner.


    "Fiy, can you turn into your beast


    form and let me lean against you while I sleep?" Analise asked,


    ncing at Fiy. She had not imed the level-up reward thanks


    to everything that happened that


    day.  s?novel


    "Okay," replied Fiy, transforming into his wolf form and lying on the pile of hay.


    Analise found a suitable spot andy on Fiy, pretending to sleep while iming her level-up reward.
