Within half a year, my mother became pregnant with me, which made my father suddenly realize a problem that he had never thought about.
He is a demon clan, and she is a human being, so will the children of the two of them be humans or demons, or a monster that is neither human nor demon?
My father was so frightened by this idea that he could hardly sleep at night, and every day he thought about how to solve the problem. His sad face was completely devoid of the joy of becoming a father, and although he always explained to his mother that he was too tired, his sensitive mother still sensed that something was wrong.
When the mother was in her third month of pregnancy, a violent quarrel broke out between the two of them for the first time, and the reason for the quarrel was that the father could not afford to raise a child and asked the mother to give up the child in her womb.
My mother did not understand my father's real concerns, and although she also understood that they would pay a great price to raise me, she firmly disagreed with his approach out of her mother's instinct. The two of them quarreled so much that in the end, no one thought that their father would make such a crazy move.
He hit her, he beat a woman who was just three months pregnant and wanted to protect her child.
By the time he realized what he had done, his mother was lying on the ground covered in blood, already dying. He took his mother in his arms like crazy, crying and calling her name, hoping that she would open her eyes. He kept repenting and apologizing, but his mother, who had fallen into a coma, could no longer hear half a word. He rushed to the town as fast as he could, but everyone who had seen his mother shook his head and told him to prepare for his mother's funeral in advance.
He could accept her to dust after a hundred years, but he couldn't accept her leaving him like this. He admits that he did something wrong, but if the price of that wrong thing is the loss of her, then he can't accept it. So he made a decision, a decision that prompted a series of tragedies to begin to happen.
He used his painstaking cultivation of thousands of years of essence to save his mother's life. But at the same time, most of the huge energy of the essence was absorbed by the fetus in the mother's womb, which contributed to the fate of me, who was about to be born, to become a demon.
Of course, it doesn't end there. Since her mother recuperated, the relationship between her and her father has never been as close as before. She looked at her father with fear in her eyes all the time, as if the person in front of her was a heinous bad person who would hurt her at any time.
Where can the father tolerate his mother's attitude, if the two of them must live like this, then he would rather tell his mother that this is his identity. And the fetus in his mother's womb has already been formed and absorbed more than half of his essence, he no longer has the ability to kill him, and when his mother gives birth, even if he doesn't say it, his mother will understand the truth. Since we have to face this reality sooner or later, it is better to have a long pain than a short pain, and if you say it earlier, maybe there is still room for things to be turned back.
After making up his mind, his father looked around for an opportunity to confess to his mother. However, before he could find an opportunity, the Heavenly Tribulation that should not have appeared at this time came early for some reason.
His father was completely unprepared for this, he never imagined that he would accept the catastrophe in such a state. Even if he was in his heyday earlier, he might not be able to adapt to this tribulation and incarnate as a dragon, not to mention that now he has more than half of his essence absorbed by me, and it is simply impossible to survive the heavenly tribulation.
He had never resented the world so much, so resentful of his fate, and he had even begun to resent his mother, resentful of her for appearing in his life like this, ruining his millennia of hard work.
Her mother didn't know what her father had been through, and she remembered never seeing him again after that thunderous downpour. She thought that her father was still unwilling to take on the responsibility of taking care of me with her and left alone, she did not look for it, she did not resent it, she was alone, silently waiting for my birth.
Because of the poverty of my family, my mother did not have enough nutrition when she was pregnant with me, and because she did not have any money, she could not even hire her biological mother. If it weren't for the old lady who always took care of her, calculating the days of her due birth and coming to the house from time to time, perhaps her mother would have died in such a difficult birth, and no one would even find her body.
In order to give birth to me, my mother suffered a lot, but fortunately, after I was born, I was exactly the same as other human children, and there was no alienation, which was the best comfort for my mother.
It's just that the good times didn't last long, and when I was one year old, I was alienated. When the mother woke up, she found that the child she was holding in her arms had grown a snake tail, and she was so frightened that she almost collapsed. At that time, she simply thought that I had fallen into some evil spell, and wanted to take me to the temple to the Taoist temple to find a cure. But before she could make any moves, her father, who had been missing for a long time, reappeared with a flask and explained to her the reason for all this from beginning to end in a drunken spirit.
No one knows what kind of struggle my mother went through after she learned the truth. But after that, she accepted my father and I and began to live as if nothing had happened.
The scenery outside the house has not changed, and the seasons continue to rotate throughout the year, but after these things she and her father have experienced, they have never returned to the days when the two of them were together. My father drank heavily all day and beat my mother to the point where she was bruised. My mother never resisted, and only thought about how to give me a normal life.
My mother loved me, and even though she knew that one day I would become a monster that everyone hated and feared, she still loved me. She did everything for me, but every time my father beat her up, I couldn't protect her from harm. I didn't know family affection or love at that time, I only knew that I had to protect my mother, so I didn't feel anything after listening to these stories, but tried my best to break free from my mother's arms, shake off my mother, and find my father in a tavern with the guidance of the same essence.
At this time, my father was so drunk that he was lying on the table and unconscious. I effortlessly climbed on top of him and bit open his throat to the screams of the crowd. I sucked his blood desperately, wanting to swallow him whole, and because of the severe pain and the loss of too much blood, he could not control his body, so he appeared in front of the public.
