The cave in front of us was completely sealed off.

The gecko was still chattering away nearby.

"Grandson, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but you absolutely must find a way to take down this snake."

"The Heavenly Book describes you so little, yet the ending is so clear: you were persecuted by your closest relatives. Think about it, besides your child, who else in this world is your closest relative? This serpent is a major villain, and also your beastly husband. If the False Heaven sends this serpent to kill you, would you still be alive?"

"You are my only descendant in this world, and your grandfather doesn't want you to die!"

Si Yan replied to him, "Aren't you also my closest relative? Won't you harm me?"

The gecko paused, then laughed a few times: "Fake heaven has nothing to do with your grandpa!"

This old snake is a bit arrogant.

"Okay. I understand."

If this was the only way to survive, then she would take down the serpent demon. She accepted the mission.

The gecko asked curiously, "How are you going to win him over?"

Si Yan lowered her head: "You showed me his dream so that I would know his weakness. All you've said is to tell me that this cold-hearted snake-beastman is most afraid of loneliness."

The gecko laughed and said, "You're a promising student."

Si Yan looked at the sealed cave and touched the stones piled up by the serpent beastmen.

In the final moments before shedding its skin, this anaconda beastman chose to seal off the cave.

Behind his cold and indifferent exterior lies a delicate and tender side.

Si Yan closed her eyes briefly, then opened them.

At that moment, her senses changed.

His voice softened. "Delusion."

Gecko: "That's it, be gentle, be even gentler!"

Si Yan really wanted to pull the gecko's mouth shut.

Her relationship with the Demon King isn't that good yet. Doesn't it realize that speaking so presumptuously is actually very awkward?!

But as the gecko said, this method should be very useful for delusions that are afraid of being alone.

It's just a strategy guide.

So be it, it's cheesy.

She composed herself, leaned against the rock, and sat down. "Let me talk to you. That way, when you shed your skin, you'll know you're not alone."

"I hope you won't mind how noisy I am."

Si Yan couldn't see the reaction on the other side. She looked up, as if recalling something: "You may not know, but I'm actually very afraid of snakes. Not only am I afraid of snakes, I'm also very afraid of this unfamiliar world."

She remembered the first time she came into this world, facing Xi Qing and Bei Ji, two little ones who were clearly her children, yet they pushed her down, leaving her covered in blood.

She remembered when she first came into this world, all her children hated her.

Her children also all lived very miserable lives.

She looked up, thought for a moment, and then said, "This world is simple. But this world is not kind."

Females are born with many privileges, and because of these privileges, there are many spoiled, willful, and manipulative females in this world.

Males are subjected to harshness and unfair treatment in this world, which is why there are many paranoid, fearful, and humble males in this world.

"There are far more males than females in this world, which has created an unfair social structure. Although everyone knows this is unfair, no one wants to change it, nor can they."

I can't change the world, but I can decide how I want to live my life.

Si Yan stared at the dry, bare stone wall with her clear, black and white eyes.

“I think in my family, my husband and I stand side by side. My husband trusts me. He knows that I only have him as my male.”

My children will not be treated differently because of their gender. I will treat them all equally. Everyone in our family lives with dignity.

"The Great Demon King".

Si Yan looked back, though there was only stone behind her. "I think, if you don't object, I'd like to try with you to build a family that's equal."

"Are you willing?"

The gecko looked at Si Yan's little face.

She spoke in a sticky, affectionate tone, but that cloying love was nowhere to be seen in her eyes.

His grandson is really a very rational person.

There was no response from inside the cave, and Si Yan remained silent.

He and she had only known each other for a few days, and their feelings for each other were not particularly deep.

She's now trying to persuade an emperor anaconda to spend its life with her. It feels like an ordinary man in the modern world trying to persuade a perfect woman to spend her life with him.

A bit naive.

Gecko: "Don't let this get awkward, keep going!"

Si Yan: "..."

She began, "Great Demon King, there are no schools in this world. I want to build one in the future. I want all the children to come and learn. They can learn to recognize simple herbs, do basic math (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division), and ideally, learn a written language."

“I will teach them respect and equality. I will start popularizing the rules of equality in schools.”

"Slowly, let the rules spread from the school to the entire beast world. Let every beastman feel respected."

Si Yan didn't know if the snakes in the cave could hear her, but she talked a lot.

Inside the cave, the enormous anaconda beastman was curled up with its eyes closed.

He heard all the noise from the females outside.

You can't stop it even if you want to.

The closer it gets to shedding its skin, the stronger its senses become, hence Si Yan's voice became louder and stronger.

He felt extremely irritable.
