Demon Realm, Dragon Valley

“Wow wow wow…”

A loud and tender baby cry came from a room.

A middle-aged man who was guarding outside the house heard the baby crying and couldn't help showing joy on his face. He quickly pushed the door open and rushed into the house.

"Congratulations, Chief~"

"Mother and child are safe, it's a girl~"

Seeing Long Xiao coming, the midwife handed him the baby girl in the cradle with a smile on her face.

Long Xiao carefully took the baby and looked at his tender and young daughter in his arms with joy and excitement on his face.

From this day on, he officially became a father...

"Xin'er, look, our child..."

Long Xiao held his daughter in his arms and slowly walked to the bedside. He looked at Long Xin, who was lying on the bed with a somewhat weak face, and spoke softly.

Long Xin showed tenderness on his face, reached out and gently stroked his daughter's tender little face, his eyes filled with deep joy and love.

"Xiao, please name our child~"

"Just like we agreed before, let's call this child Long Yao~"

"May she be as powerful as our dragon clan! May she travel through the heavens in peace and happiness throughout her life~"

Long Xiao looked at Long Yao in his arms and said expectantly.

He can't wait to see the child grow up...

Little did he know that a pair of eyes had secretly stared at the child in his arms, and a wicked smile appeared on his face...

…

One year later

“Ahhh!!”

A shrill scream broke the tranquility of Dragon Valley and instantly alarmed everyone in the valley.

The source of the sound happened to be from the room where Long Yao was!

Long Xiao and Long Xin rushed back home immediately and pushed the door open to walk into Long Yao's room.

A maid who was in charge of taking care of Long Yao was seen slumped on the ground, staring at Long Yao in the cradle with horror on her face.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Long Xiao frowned and asked in confusion.

“Master, the young lady…she…her hand…!”

The maid raised her trembling hand and pointed at Long Yao in the cradle, as if she had seen a ghost.

Upon hearing this, Long Xiao quickly walked to the cradle and lifted the sheet covering Long Yao.

The moment the quilt was lifted, Long Xiao froze in place with a dazed look on his face.

Long Xin didn't understand what was going on, and hurried over to his side. The next moment he was also stunned where he was, covering his mouth in disbelief.

I saw that a black spot had appeared on Long Yao's tender arm at some point. The black spot had penetrated deep into the bone marrow and was showing signs of festering and festering!

This is obviously the legendary evil poison that everyone in the demon world fears!

If you get it, you will surely die miserably in endless pain and torture!

"Xiao...what should I do...?"

"This, this can't be true, right?"

Long Xin could no longer remain calm, tears flowed from his eyes, and he looked at Long Xiao beside him with sadness on his face.

She had just become a mother for a year and was looking forward to her child growing up, but suddenly she encountered such bad news...

Even though she had the cultivation level of an Immortal Emperor, she was crushed in an instant.

Long Xiao quickly hugged Long Xin to comfort him, frowned and thought for a moment, then asked:

"Have you touched the young lady's wound?"

"No, no..."

The maid replied affirmatively.

She also knew the evil demon, so when she saw it, she was so scared that she stepped back and fell to the ground.

“That’s good!”

"From today on, you don't have to take care of the young lady anymore!"

"Also! Don't tell anyone about what happened tonight! Got it!"

Long Xiao instructed sternly.

"yes…"

The maid replied tremblingly.

For more than a month after that, Long Xiao concealed the fact that Long Yao had been poisoned by the evil demon. He searched for elixirs, read through medical books, and tried many methods to cure her.

However, Long Yao's condition did not improve at all, and the evil demon poison continued to erode her petite body more and more day by day.

The severe torture and pain made Long Yao cry loudly in the house almost every day.

Thanks to Long Xiao's creation of a soundproof barrier, the fact that Long Yao was infected with the evil demon poison was not exposed.

But the daily painful cries made Long Xin extremely sad, but he was powerless and could only shed tears every day.

Until this day, the maid who first discovered that Long Yao was poisoned by the evil demon slowly and staggered to the door of Long Xiao's house.

On the streets along the way, everyone moved to the sides of the streets in fear.

At this moment, the maid's body was covered with black spots, festering and bleeding, and her appearance was so horrific that it was frightening!

The dark blood kept dripping from her body onto the ground!

“It hurts! It hurts so much…!”

“I can’t stand it anymore…!”

“Chief, I am in so much pain…!”

The maid dragged her festering body tremblingly to the front of Long Xiao's door. Then, unable to bear it any longer, she drew her knife and stabbed it into her heart, ending her own pain!

Long Xiao walked out of the house, looked at the scene in front of him with shock, closed his eyes sadly, feeling extremely guilty.

But it was strange that she had never touched the blood of the evil demon, so how could she be infected with the evil demon poison...? !

A maid who used to be by the clan leader's side was poisoned by a demon and died tragically at the doorstep of the clan leader's house, which instantly caused a sensation in the entire dragon clan.

Later, people went to the maid's home to investigate and found out that the maid and her family had all been poisoned by evil spirits and died tragically at home!

After this incident, Long Xiao also knew that the fact that Long Yao was poisoned by the evil spirit could no longer be concealed...

Soon, the news that Long Yao was poisoned by a demon and killed the maid's family spread throughout the entire Dragon Valley!

The news that the evil demon had reappeared and was befalling the dragon clan instantly caused panic among the entire dragon clan.

Everyone has heard of the horror of evil spirits and poisons.

Just a little bit of contamination is enough to make people die in despair and pain!

And there is no cure in the world!

Only suicide can end the pain quickly!

As the patriarch of the Dragon Clan, Long Xiao knew that Long Yao was poisoned by a demon, but he deliberately concealed the truth, leading to the tragic death of the maid's family!

In an instant, everyone in Longgu expressed strong condemnation and anger towards Long Xiao's family.

No one dared to approach Long Xiao's family easily anymore...

Inside the Dragon Cave Hall, several elderly dragon clan elders stood on the stone pillars in the form of real dragons, their sharp dragon pupils staring intently at Long Xiao who was in the center.

"Long Xiao! You knew that your daughter was poisoned by the evil spirit, but you concealed it on purpose!"

"As the leader of the dragon clan, you are responsible for the prosperity and peace of our dragon clan, but your actions are pushing our dragon clan into an abyss of no return!"

"Do you know how serious the consequences will be once the evil demon poison spreads among the dragon race?"

"While the situation is still under control, kill the child immediately and incinerate him!"

"That's right! Anyone infected with the evil demon poison will be burned! Cut off the spread of the evil demon poison!"

The dragon's roar of rebuke echoed in Long Xiao's ears.

Long Xiao lowered his head, clenched his hands tightly, his nails dug deep into his palms, and he was in a great struggle inside...!

He has to make a difficult choice between the prosperity and safety of his family and his own daughter...!
