Heat? Why would his body be experiencing such rapid changes this soon? And how could he possibly be in heat when that phenomenon was exclusive to Celestial Beasts?

"I don't understand…" Huo Renyi said, his voice barely above a whisper. His chest heaved, his body coiling with heat everywhere and especially in the pit of his stomach. "Heat…how could I possibly?"
