The journey back to the cave was so quiet that Si Yan thought time had stopped.

The chirping of insects outside only resumed once we returned to the cave.

In Si Yan's space, the noisy gecko that had been trying to scam her seemed to have gotten tired of talking and finally quieted down.

Gecko: "I'm tired, I'm going to sleep. My dear grandson, don't call me grandpa unless it's absolutely necessary."

Si Yan, who usually has a pretty good temper, rolled her eyes at this old gecko who likes to take advantage of her and calls her grandson.

"You're just like that snake, you love to sleep."

The gecko opened its eyes, scanned the entire cave, and then its gaze fell on the adult snake-beastman inside.

"You mean this snake-beastman?" The gecko's eyes darted around, and its voice became slightly more serious.

"He suffered extremely serious injuries in his early years. If he hadn't made a contract with you, he wouldn't have survived. His body is like a leaky sieve; no amount of sleeping can fix it. So, to save his life, all he can do is sleep. But it's not very effective."

"Huh?" This time it was Si Yan's turn to be stunned. "He only survived because he made a contract with me?"

If this old gecko wasn't making this up, then when she was pushed into the cave back then, his decision not to eat her but to make a contract with her was a subconscious act.

"What 'ah'? You are my bloodline, my only bloodline in this world! It's perfectly normal for him to subconsciously yearn to form a contract with you. Receiving benefits from forming a contract with you is a blessing for this worm."

"..." Si Yan looked at the gecko in the space.

Does this gecko not consider itself an insect?

Si Yan seized on the loophole in his words and said, "I've given birth to four children. You say I'm your only bloodline, so what about my children?"

The gecko wasn't stumped: "These two little worms here are your babies, aren't they?"

Si Yan's aura suddenly turned cold. "Get out."

She might turn a blind eye to insults directed at snakes, but she won't tolerate insults directed at her child!

The gecko immediately hugged her bucket tightly: "I won't roll away. I misspoke, it's not a worm, it's a snake-beastman cub!"

Si Yan: "..."

The gecko, ever the flexible one, said, "These two cubs clearly inherited the bloodline of that big worm. They didn't inherit my bloodline, so how can they be considered my descendants?"

Si Yan understood what the gecko was saying.

Because her four offspring are snake-beast-human offspring, not gecko offspring, the gecko does not consider them his descendants.

Si Yan looked inside the space and examined the gecko.

It's just a gecko-like beastman, look how capable you are.

The gecko chuckled and said, "Why don't you have another one? Maybe then we'll have offspring."

Si Yan's face darkened: "...Get out."

Si Yan was tired of arguing, and seeing that she couldn't get rid of the gecko no matter what she did, she decided to let him stay for the time being.

The babies were sleeping together. Si Yan walked over to the babies and lay down.

Before long, the two little ones, Dong Chi and Nan Mo, instinctively snuggled into her arms and hugged her tightly.

The snake-beastman's love for his mother is innate.

After Si Yan fell asleep, a black gecko with a few golden glints on its body crawled out of Si Yan's space.

It climbed onto Si Yan's head and looked up at the dark purple python-like beastman in front of it.

It's quite interesting how fate can be changed so often.

grandson.

Grandpa will take you on a trip in his dream.

...

"I hate cold-blooded serpent beastmen!!!" a female shouted angrily in the cave, surrounded by more than a dozen males.

But none of these dozen or so males were cold-blooded serpent beastmen.

"My lady..." The male, who was the dominant male, knelt before the female. "Please bear with it, I beg you, please bear with it."

This female was taken away by a wandering, cold-blooded serpent beastman, who forced her to mate with him, thus establishing a contractual partnership.

After the partnership was established, the female used her power as the dominant woman to make this cold-blooded serpent beastman pay with his life!

"I don't want to..." the female cried out in hatred and anger. "I don't want to give birth to a snake-beastman! I don't want to give birth to a snake-beastman! If I give birth to a snake-beastman, I'll lose all face. Everyone will know I'm a female who gave birth to a snake-beastman! I don't want to! I don't want to!"

"Mastress!"

"I want them dead! I want all of these bastards dead!"

The males rushed to comfort the female. The leading male was anxious and worried, saying, "Mistress, you are already pregnant, so you must give birth to the baby. It will be bad for your health if you don't."

The other males nodded in agreement. Many females in this world who have had miscarriages or lost children have, without exception, suffered from serious illnesses, and some are even unable to conceive again.

“Mistress, if you really don’t like them, we can kill them after they are born,” the males said.

Si Yan stood to the side, watching this scene with some surprise. The black gecko slowly crawled up her shoulder.

"Oh my, finally in."

Si Yan: "Where is this?"

Gecko: "The dream of that long worm."

Si Yan: "..."

"This snake sleeps too much. When it gets bored in its dreams, it can't help but dream about the past."

"Is this his past?" Si Yan asked again, her voice trembling. "He's inside me?"

The gecko nodded its tiny head.

He was inside her womb, listening to his mother discussing how to kill him.

I wonder what he's thinking right now.

The female was about to give birth, and more than a dozen males waited anxiously. The anaconda's eggs were larger than other snake eggs, and the female was sweating profusely as she gave birth.

Si Yan counted them from the side.

One, two, three... six.
