Si Yan lay on the foot of the bed, watching the two babies hugging each other.
The adorable little dumpling was hot, so she naturally snuggled into his arms, and he relaxed, letting her find coolness on his body.
Si Yan muttered, "What a pity."
The Great Demon King, Snake Demon, may appear cold-blooded and ruthless, but deep down, there lies a last vestige of gentleness and kindness.
If the world weren't so indifferent, if he hadn't suffered so much injustice...
He might not have turned out to be the villain he is today.
The gecko perked up: "Grandson, how about trying to seduce the big villain?"
Si Yan chuckled: "It's a good thing you said you were talking about winning over the villain, not about me clearing his name."
Gecko: "You, cleared your name?"
"Judging from your appearance, you could be a villain yourself, yet you're trying to whitewash a villain?"
Si Yan raised an eyebrow. "Huh?"
The gecko chuckled and changed the subject, saying, "Grandson, let me tell you something."
Si Yan twitched the corner of her mouth.
The gecko pointed to the sky. "The sky is being covered by something bad. Can you help Grandpa tear that thing down?"
Si Yan: "...You're probably quite ill."
"Sigh, you don't believe Grandpa, but Grandpa isn't in a hurry. Grandpa will prove himself soon."
Gecko stopped trying to persuade her and continued reading with Si Yan.
After Xiao Yanyan recovered from the high fever, she seemed even more dazed than before.
The snake-beastman cub kept the contract and never tried to steal her food again.
He wandered through the City of Beasts, trying to find food to survive.
On this day, the snake-beastman cub saw someone on the road whom he least wanted to see.
Although he had only seen her once when she was born, he recognized her at a glance!
His expression instantly turned fierce and cold.
Si Yan followed his gaze and frowned instantly.
“The Great Demon King’s wicked mother,” Si Yan said coldly.
This is truly vicious; it's a viciousness that doesn't even spare its own son!
The gecko tugged at Si Yan, saying, "This is already the inner demon of that big worm."
The snake-beastman cub's face turned ashen, and he forcefully suppressed his emotions that were about to spiral out of control.
He ran back to the mound and saw the adorable little dumpling staring blankly. He took two steps forward and hugged her tightly.
"Yanyan." A sense of helplessness spread through his heart.
Even when they are first born, they are unaware of how pitiful they are being persecuted by their female mother.
So many years have passed, how could the little boy not know—
He felt rejected by his female mother.
I feel rejected by the world.
Nobody liked him.
No one loved him.
He is pitiful.
The cold-blooded serpent beastman trembled slightly, his voice pleading. "Please hug me, just once."
Whether she truly understood or not, the adorable little dumpling stretched out her chubby little hand.
She awkwardly hugged the baby snake back.
The snake-beastmen gradually quieted down.
After a long, long time, he regained his composure.
The female thought he was dead and wouldn't recognize him.
He can get away with it as long as he hides in this mound of earth.
...
The scene flashed very quickly, and Xiao Xiaowang hid in Xiao Xiaoyan's little mound.
As the blazing day arrived, the City of Beasts activated its protective barrier.
Inside the protective barrier, the temperature is about ten degrees lower than outside.
But it's still unbearably hot.
The gecko rolled over, its four little paws paddling in the air, and said, "The sun in this world gets closer every ten years. When the sun gets closer, it naturally gets incredibly hot."
Si Yan frowned as she looked at the orcs in the city who had no food or water.
The scene flashed by very quickly.
A little over a month later, the scorching day passed smoothly.
The snake-beastman cub successfully survived the scorching day by using the help of a country bumpkin.
People from the four major cities have arrived.
The main figures from White Eagle City, White Tiger City, and the other two city lords all came.
Of the main characters in these four cities, Bai Feng is the most unique.
Dressed in long, snow-white feathers, he walked at the very front, and the entire Beast City bowed slightly to express their respect for him.
He was high above, extremely noble.
He asked the person beside him in a cool and aloof tone, "Where is Xiao Siyan?"
This noble and aloof demeanor was completely different from the gentle Bai Feng that Si Yan had met.
The orc beside him was extremely submissive. "High Priest, the Second Miss is well."
...
"It's Little Phoenix!" The gecko stretched out its claws.
Si Yan asked curiously, "Gecko-kun, do you know him?"
The gecko looked at Bai Feng, then at Si Yan, and blinked its bulging eyes. "Grandson, do you want to consider getting another male? Grandpa thinks Little Fengfeng is quite nice."
"..."
The gecko, like a salesman, said, "Little Phoenix has such a good temper, so gentle. Grandpa thinks he's much better than that big worm that gave you a high fever!"
Si Yan chuckled softly twice.
The snake and the eagle didn't get along, and when the snake cub saw Bai Feng, it knew it was time for it to leave.
After the blazing day, he had no reason to stay in the City of Ten Thousand Beasts.
The little snake gave the adorable little dumpling a final visit.
The adorable little dumpling remained blankly dazed.
The little snake cub unconsciously revealed a somewhat adult-like expression.
"Silly boy, I'm leaving."
He plucked a snake scale from his chest and handed it to her.
"This snake scale is the most special one on my body. It is connected to my heart and veins, and it will never be severed even if I were to cut it off."
