Capítulo 1691: All Out

"Ah, we're here," Ryu looked up, a frigid landscape around him. "Go, Little Silk. Your breakthrough will be dependent on yourself."

QIII!

Little Silk shot off into the distance, leaving Ryu behind. 

Ryu watched her go, crossing his arms and waiting. 

His relationship with Little Silk was different from his relationship with his other beast companions. That's because he found Little Silk while she was already millions of years old, while he found the others as infants. 

Due to this, there had always been a bit of a barrier between himself and Little Silk, especially since the latter had tried to kill him the first time they came across one another. 

However, Ryu's father's words about his wives got him thinking about relationships in general. It was amusing that he was hesitant to contract other beasts because they might betray him, but still kept Little Silk mostly at arm's length.
