The commotion woke the three beasts dozing off in the hut. Seeing Mo Yan like this, they quickly got up, gathered around her, and buzzed and chirped anxiously.
Mo Yan had no time to attend to them. She placed Maomao on the table, her voice trembling and changing in pitch, "Has something happened to your master?"
