"Little Dongchi." Si Yan suddenly tilted her head, looking carefully at her baby.
"Do you want a dad?"
Dong Chi poked at the fire and shook his head. "I don't want another father."
"Why?" Si Yan asked in surprise.
Dong Chi slightly raised his eyes, recalling the past, and felt even more displeased: "He wasn't there when you were pregnant, giving birth, and raising the babies. It's very dangerous for females in this world to be without a male to protect them. He didn't protect you. He's a useless piece of trash."
"..."
Si Yan felt that Wang was very likely the father of these kids.
Before they even met, the father-son relationship already seemed quite strained. Si Yan felt ashamed.
But that's alright, after all, Snake Demon is different from her cubs.
The babies are so young; with time and care, they can gradually be straightened out.
That great demon king...
Such a ferocious male, forget it.
Si Yan sat back down on the grass and looked at the sky.
Dong Chi thought for a moment and said, "Hey, you naughty female, if you ever see a cheap male, don't let him know about us four brothers."
"Why?" Si Yan asked.
Dong Chi gripped the wooden branch in his hand, his voice cold and devoid of warmth: "The four of us have already discussed this. We don't want to acknowledge him."
They don't want irresponsible, scumbag fathers.
Si Yan: "..."
This is because she's holding a grudge... Her children are probably holding a grudge because their father didn't raise them!
That's good. They're both first-time parents, and she can't bear the child's hatred alone!
The valley wasn't very large, but probably because it was shady and low-lying, it was teeming with snakes and scorpions.
Because of the lingering aura of the Emperor Serpent on her body, the snakes and scorpions eyed them covetously, but dared not approach.
At this moment, a brief peace prevailed in the valley.
Si Yan looked up at the small valley entrance, pondering what Dong Chi had said.
What if that great demon king really is her beastly husband?
She suddenly sat up. She lifted her clothes and looked at the snake-shaped totem at her waist.
Si Yan took a deep breath and looked up at the sky.
...
They had mistakenly found their partner totem.
It's in the very center of the lower back, near the tailbone. A place you would never normally look at.
He slept for five years, and when he woke up five years later, he continued to sleep intermittently.
She hadn't even considered the possibility that she had been contracted. When she transformed into human form, snake scales automatically covered the area around her lower back.
So no one has ever seen it, and I have never noticed it myself.
When it transforms into a snake, the totem blends into its own scale patterns, making it indistinguishable.
A white ring with gold flecks, from which two lovely buds sprout.
Despite his many years of experience, he couldn't recognize what kind of orc totem it was.
This foolish female has fallen into a nest of poisonous insects all by herself.
Fortunately, they are not far apart now.
...
The surrounding environment was unsafe, so Si Yan dared not sleep. She hugged the snake scales and guarded Dong Chi.
Suddenly, the night became quiet.
She sensed the snakes and scorpions retreating, and even the insects quieting down.
Si Yan nudged Dong Chi: "Dong Chi, wake up."
The quieter it is, the more dangerous it is.
The air grew colder and colder, and a sense of danger spread, causing Si Yan to break out in a cold sweat.
She suddenly turned around and saw a relatively thin male behind her. The male had an effeminate appearance, a slightly bluish complexion, and a cold expression.
Dong Chi's snake-like eyes snapped upwards instantly, and he coldly flicked his tongue to warn the other party.
"The Serpent Beastman".
He recognized at a glance that the male in front of him was a serpent beastman, not a anaconda, and not his father beast.
The snake-like figure lowered its head and looked at Dong Chi. A moment of doubt flashed through its mind.
This red anaconda cub looks a lot like its owner.
Si Yan, holding onto Dong Chi, immediately turned around again, sensing the danger.
Her large, clear eyes suddenly widened.
"The Great Demon King?!"
The male is slender and tall, with a handsome face that is somewhat languid, and dark circles under his eyes, making him look like he hasn't slept for seven or eight days. His eyes also show a hint of drowsiness and impatience.
Dong Chi's eyes narrowed instantly.
This orc is a serpent orc.
It seems he's a terrible father.
Dong Chi and the male's eyes met in an instant.
Wang's languid eyes slowly brightened, and his purple and red eyes met for a moment.
A very strange feeling spread through Wang's mind; he felt an intense sense of familiarity with the little anaconda before him. This feeling, arising within Wang's mind, was truly bizarre.
He deliberately shifted his gaze.
Si Yan did not forget Dong Chi's words, and she protected Dong Chi behind her.
A hint of doubt crept onto Wang's face. He asked coldly, "You adopted a snake-beastman cub?"
This sudden explanation meant Si Yan no longer needed to think about how to cover for Dong Chi. She paused for a moment, then slowly nodded.
Wang's gloomy expression lessened somewhat, and he seemed to be in a better mood.
Her willingness to adopt the snake-beastman at least proves that this female doesn't dislike snake-beastmen that much.
Dong Chi's eyes were filled with disdain.
His scumbag father looks somewhat like him.
But it's so stupid that you can't even recognize your own baby.
Nan Mo jogged over carrying the little female cub, and stopped slowly when he saw Dong Chi and Si Yan.
Dong Chi stared intently at Nan Mo.
Following Dong Chi's gaze, Si Yan also saw Nan Mo.
Nanmo!!
Her baby!!
He's alive! That's wonderful! He's alive!!
Nan Mo walked forward, passing Si Yan, but did not give her any expression.
