"Can……"
"Mother, I know she's skilled with poisons. I just want to ask you, do you have a way to counteract the poisons she makes?"
Mo Shisheng knew that Bei Rao was worried about her, so she lowered her voice even more, not wanting Bei Rao to worry.
"Who was poisoned by the antidote?"
Bei Rao's expression suddenly changed, and she gripped Mo Shisheng's wrists tightly with both hands. "Sheng'er, are you alright?"
"It wasn't me."
Her sudden action made Mo Shisheng sigh softly, and she pulled her hand away from Bei Rao's. "I'm fine, it's someone else."
When Bei Rao heard Mo Shisheng mention someone else, she understood.
Mo Shisheng didn't nod, but his attitude was tacit agreement. Seeing this, Bei Rao frowned slightly. "I know about his experiences. He has suffered a lot since childhood. Shi Youmi once wanted him dead."
"Does Mother know why? Why does Shi Youmi hate him so much?"
Even tigers don't eat their cubs. Mo Shisheng simply couldn't understand why Shi Youmi hated Ming Beiya so much. Wasn't that the child she had carried for ten months?
Even though Shi Youmi is not a mortal, it is still not an easy thing to bear a demon seed.
If you truly hate Ming Beiya's existence so much, why did you give birth to him in the first place?
"These are all grudges from the previous generation."
Bei Rao seemed to be thinking of something from a long time ago, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she told Mo Shisheng the story of Shi Youmi and Ming Beiya's father.
Ming Beiya's father was the initial Demon Emperor of the Demon Realm, and he single-handedly conquered the entire Demon Realm.
Ming Yan detested women getting close to him, yet fate had endowed him with an exceptionally handsome appearance. Coupled with his power in the Demon Realm, women were always drawn to him like moths to a flame.
Shi Youmi was just a poppy at the beginning, thinking she would live a simple and ordinary life, but after meeting Ming Yan, she fell deeply in love with him.
It got out of control.
Ming Beiya was someone she had orchestrated. Before her, Ming Yan had also been tricked by her once, resulting in a human woman becoming pregnant with a demon seed.
Both times, it was Shi Youmi's doing; she wanted the mother to be poor while the son was rich, and she absolutely refused to abort the child.
Ming Yan was inherently cold-hearted; his blood was cold to the touch.
Until one day, when he wanted to destroy the child in Shi Youmi's and that human woman's womb, he encountered Bei Rao, who had run away from the divine realm to play.
She had a clean appearance and exquisitely beautiful features, as if she were an unpolluted being.
Everyone probably has a white moonlight in their heart. Ming Yan is a person who lives on the edge of a knife. He is used to a life of licking blood and is surrounded by darkness. When he suddenly meets Bei Rao, he feels his heart pounding.
Shi Youmi and the human woman had their tendons severed, and he was still clutching a long sword dripping blood.
Upon seeing this scene, Bei Rao was so frightened that she froze on the spot, not daring to take another step. She stared blankly at Ming Yan, losing even the ability to think.
Upon seeing Bei Rao like this, a rare smile appeared in Ming Yan's cold eyes, though it was so faint that he didn't even notice it himself.
"You've been staring for so long, aren't you afraid of dying?"
Finally, Ming Yan realized that Bei Rao was too scared to speak, so he teased her.
Upon hearing the sound, Bei Rao turned her face away, but her body remained stiff in place, not daring to move.
His gaze fell on the longsword dripping with blood, his voice trembling slightly: "What...what are you going to do to those two?"
