The succession ceremony of the successive patriarchs of Selica is to tattoo the four-clawed green dragon tattoo on the body with ink mixed with the blood of the flesh and blood of the closest relatives in the quiet and windless confinement room, as a sign of loyalty to the Smoot royal family.

And a huge green dragon tattooed on the whole body, the blood required is most of the blood volume of an adult man's body.

It was under the conditions of such a cruel succession ceremony that Cook became the new patriarch.

But in his childhood, he was not so cruel and bloodthirsty. On the contrary, Cook has a soft temperament, and he doesn't even dare to greet strangers when he sees them. As for why his temperament changed suddenly, everything has to start from that incident......

As a child, Cook was the son of the patriarch and enjoyed good treatment, but he was not treated well by his people. Because, his biological mother is not from her own people.

On the surface, Selica's people were respectful and respectful because of his status as the son of the patriarch, without a trace of contempt. But behind the scenes, because of his foreign mother, he pointed fingers at him, and even ignored his existence.

Growing up in this environment, Cook is lonely, timid and stubborn. However, there is only one person who will care for him unconditionally and love him, and that is his mother, Xiang He.

Xiang He was sent by the Chu family to marry Celica. In order to promote the exchange of interests between the two clans, Xiang He was forced to marry the current patriarch of Selika, who was Kumati, Cook's father.

But Xiang He didn't love this indifferent, ruthless, cruel and rough man, she loved Chu Xianglan, the kind, handsome, and friendly patriarch of the Chu family.

It's just that Lang has no intention of having a concubine.

Xiang He, who was born on the edge of the clan, and Xiang Lan, the proud son of the sky, could not be together. With a huge disparity in status, even if they are childhood sweethearts, they have to hide their emotions deep in their hearts.

After Chu Xianglan married a wife, Xiang He also died and married Selica.

At first, Kumati still had some pity and respect for this new wife. But as time goes on, the rift between the couple grows wider. Eventually, when he discovers that his wife's heart hangs on a man he hates so much, Kumati finally explodes.

"It's Chu Xianglan again! What's so good about that man!"

As a family, as the new patriarch of each clan, everyone will naturally compare them.

However, there is a comparison and there is a high.

In contrast to Kumati's tough personality, advocating force, and not having a far-sighted approach to doing things, Chu Xianglan was a gentle person, he was cautious, advocated peace, and was more likely to be loved by his clansmen.

At first, it was just gossip heard on the side of the road, and Kumati didn't take it to heart. However, gradually, the subordinates around him, the maids who served, and even the elders of the clan began to whisper in private, often comparing him with the leader of the Chu family behind his back, and even worse, blaming him for the decline of the family in the past two years, how can people bear it!

He prides himself on being a proud and self-respecting man, but he is dedicated and conscientious to his family. But now, his enthusiasm has been exchanged for all kinds of dislike and slander from the clansmen, making him inferior everywhere, so how can people bear it!

Now, even the wife who is getting married is thinking about that Chu Xianglan!

Kumati wielded a leather whip and struck Xiang He's body hard at a time, and Cook tried to stop it but was pressed to the ground by the servant.

"Mother!"

He wailed, but he was helpless, he could only watch his loving mother being beaten and his flesh and blood blurred!

"Please, let her go!"

"Please!"

The begging and wailing in his ears stimulated Kumati's nerves, and his expression gradually distorted, as if a nameless pleasure was being released, as if the louder the wail, the happier his heart became.

Since then, Xiang He has been beaten by Kumati from time to time, and Cook has become the only spectator of torture.

He also instigated his mother to resist, but the fear given by the man had long been imprinted into the depths of their souls and could not be erased.

Over time, Cook became numb. He no longer cried, became reticent, withdrawn, and unwilling to be close to people. Because he knew that only in this way could he free his mother from the torment of the devil.

Xiang He didn't want to resist, but she was just a weak woman, and she was powerless to resist this marriage, and she didn't dare to have any complaints. For the sake of her children and for the man's desire for peace, she chose to suffer in silence.

All the love that his mother poured into him was the only light in Cook's childhood. However, this faint light disappeared overnight.

The real turn of events came on the night of Kumati's night attack.

The radical Kumati clashed with the conservative elders, and there were even rumors that the elders wanted to remove Kumati as the patriarch.

The rumors may not be true, but they irritate Kumati's sensitive nerves. Eventually, it became the real trigger for Kumati's night raid.

Taking the opportunity of giving his son Cook a coming-of-age gift, Kumati invited the head of the Chu family, Chu Xianglan, to the banquet and took the opportunity to completely wipe them out!

He secretly mobilized a lot of dead guards and lurked in the banquet, as long as he gave an order, the dormant soldiers would immediately attack and take down all the Chu family members.

From the invitation to the allocation of seats, Kumati personally supervised and even managed the banquet in order to be foolproof.

On the day of the feast, everything went well.

Maybe I knew what was going to happen next. Kumati faced Chu Xianglan with a smile in his eyes.

But Cook knew that this was a knife hidden in a smile.

In the following celebrations and feasts, Cook always carried a face. This aroused Chu Xianglan's vigilance: "Today is the son's birthday, but the son doesn't seem to be happy. ”

"Uchiko has a cold temperament, and it's the same on weekdays, so don't worry. Kumati smiled dryly, but secretly glared at Cook.

Cook looked at Kumati indifferently, he was like a marionette at this time, as long as he obediently became a pawn in his hand.

In addition to Cook, there is also Xiang He.

She stood beside Kumati, her eyes were faint, and she was not half happy in the face of her former childhood sweetheart. Even if Xiang Lan took the initiative to go up to talk, Xiang He only looked lacking in interest, as if he was deliberately avoiding him.

Worried, at the banquet, Chu Xianglan always looked at Xiang He with some consideration. And his move was also seen by Kumati.

The jealousy in his heart continued to accumulate, and finally when Xiang Lan wanted to inquire about the situation of his former friend again, Kumati had a seizure.

He gave a secret signal, and in an instant, the guards deliberately surrounded and suppressed him, and just when Chu Xianglan finally sensed that something was wrong, Kumati had already flashed the dagger on his cuffs and stabbed at Chu Xianglan in front of him!

said that it was too late, and just as the sharp blade was about to stab Chu Xianglan's chest, a pretty figure suddenly appeared between the two. The delicate body, the plump waist, and the slender fingers are a little bit of momentum at this moment.

She had a faint smile on her face, and tenderness swelled in her eyes. She looked at Cook, her slightly moving lips as if to say a slight blessing.

'Happy birthday. ’

In an instant, blood gushed out. Xiang He fell straight in a pool of blood, breathless.

'This foolish woman, do me a good thing!'

Kumati's eyes widened with rage, he pulled out the long knife at his waist, and without the slightest hesitation, stepped straight on the woman's body, as if stepping on an ant.

With this kick, the woman's back was recessed.

Before Chu Xianglan could react to what was happening, a silver knife came over in the next second. He immediately raised his knife to block and counterattack, and inadvertently, he stepped on Xiang He's tender palm.

"I have no way back, and in today's battle, either you will die or I will die!" Kumati raised his sword, and he shouted, rushing into the crown. Looking at Xiang Lan's eyes like a hungry jackal, he wants to devour people alive!

"Father, let's go!" Looking at the soldiers who were gradually surrounding, Chu Xiangyan shouted while resisting the attack. The enemy has already prepared, and if they don't break through, they are afraid that they will all plant this!

For the sake of the lives of his compatriots, Chu Xianglan did not dare to have any hesitation.

He didn't have time to turn back, and before he had time to take another look at the poor woman who blocked the knife for him, he summoned the overlord halberd that had been passed down from generation to generation of the Chu family, and broke out straight with a group of personal soldiers.

"Chase! Don't let go...... They ......"

Before he finished speaking, Kumati only felt a chill on his neck, and then the world spun, as if he saw his black deerskin boots and-

Standing behind him, Cook holding an axe.

He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he felt that he couldn't use it, and the next second he ran out of breath.

Looking at the human head rolling to the ground, Cook trembled and hugged his shoulders, and slowly he covered his eyes and pressed them against the blood-soaked corpse of his mother, his chest floating up and down.

If you listen closely, you can hear the sobbing of breathlessness. The sobbing grew louder and more painful, and gradually it changed its taste.

"Uhhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

He kept slapping his mother's body, trying to wake her up. But the fist hit the flesh, and only blood splashed, but the woman under her could no longer open her eyes.

When he raised his head again, his blue and black eyes were already bloodshot. He smiled and returned to his original expressionless appearance, as if none of this had ever happened.

'Whether it's the Chu family or Selica...... I won't let go of a single one!'

Beside him, circles of dark green yin qi were slowly spreading......
