The snake beastman’s cold, seemingly abandoned demeanor made Si Yan’s heart ache.
"It’s not like that!" Si Yan tried to grab him, but she couldn’t.
"At least, I, and Dongchi Nanmo, truly care about you."
The cold-blooded snake beastman looked back indifferently. "Do you care about my power?"
Si Yan was speechless.
She Wang’s gaze grew colder once again. Chapters first released on NoveIꜰire.net
"Si Yan, I don’t want your apologies, nor do I want to be used by you."
"And I won’t be a hindrance to you anymore."
"Great Demon King!!!"
The cold emperor Sen Ran disappeared in a flash, like lightning.
Si Yan ran anxiously, but lacking a beastman’s keen sense of smell, she couldn’t catch up to the lightning-fast She Wang.
The gecko muttered, "Child..." before adding, "...Grandpa has caused a mess."
While walking on the main road of Myriad Beasts City, Si Yan saw a little cub fall. She silently helped it up, and a passing male beastman thanked her. Si Yan continued walking, lost in thought, with Yin Hong following worriedly behind her.
But Si Yan could only think about She Wang. He had never experienced any warmth or love. So when she showed him some care and warmth, she easily won his affection. Winning him over wasn’t hard for her because she was the only female in this world who had given him warmth. But that was also why, when he suddenly learned everything she had done had a purpose—even the so-called nicknames weren’t really nicknames. She called him the Great Demon King every day, scheming against him, guarding against him, using him.
Si Yan pinched her forehead. She could understand him. She never liked the word "conquer" before. Now, she liked it even less. She didn’t know how to face him and even felt a bit like escaping.
Si Yan was so focused on her own emotions that she didn’t notice a golden lion approaching quickly. On the streets of Myriad Beasts City, the lion collided with her, knocking her hard to the ground. Her slightly bulging stomach hit the floor, and a dull pain washed over her.
She snapped back to reality and looked up, but the golden lion beastman was gone.
"Si Yan!" Yin Hong rushed forward anxiously.
Then, she felt a pain in her stomach. She clutched it. "Yin Hong..."
Sweat slid down Si Yan’s face. Her complexion paled, one hand supporting her belly.
"Child!" the gecko cried out.
Si Yan said, "Gecko, I’m feeling a little... uncomfortable."
The gecko panicked and jumped down from Si Yan. "Child, don’t panic! Try to control your emotions! Open your mouth, breathe, take deep breaths!"
Seeing Si Yan’s obviously unwell state, Yin Hong became frantic. "Si Yan, where does it hurt? Are you giving birth?"
Si Yan shook her head; she wasn’t about to give birth. Her emotions had just fluctuated too much, and the fall had impacted her stomach, which seemed to have affected the cubs.
Yin Hong helped her to a large tree, and she began to breathe with her mouth open.
"Si Yan, don’t be afraid. Don’t be afraid. I..." Yin Hong looked around anxiously but couldn’t see She Wang. He said anxiously, "Si Yan, I’m right here. Tell me what you need, I..."
Then, Yin Hong said in confusion, "Right, I’ll take you to find the Witch Doctor! Find the Witch Doctor...!"
Si Yan, clutching her stomach and sweating profusely, shook her head.
In front of Si Yan, the gecko slowly transformed. Pudgy little arms and legs stretched out, covered with Dragon Scales. A small, adorable golden bundle of a creature hopped in front of Si Yan. He had two small dragon horns on his forehead, and his eyes shone with life.
"Child!" Little Long Ze supported Si Yan from the other side. His voice was childish. "Don’t be afraid, Grandpa will help you."
From his small hands, golden power continuously infused into her body, stabilizing her chaotic meridians.
Si Yan managed a smile. "Gecko, you’re so cute."
A vein throbbed on Long Ze’s forehead. After all these years, she was calling him cute?
Long Ze said, "Don’t talk now. Open your mouth wide and breathe. These two little ones in your belly are causing a bit of a stir."
"Two?" Si Yan raised an eyebrow.
Long Ze replied, "Dragon and Phoenix twins, a boy and a girl."
"Are you happy?" he asked.
Si Yan laughed softly. "Happy. Are they Sen Ran?"
Long Ze said, "No. They are both the same species as you."
Si Yan squinted through the pain. "Then I still have to carry them for more than a month. It seems today isn’t the day for delivery."
Looking at Si Yan, her face flushed with pain, Long Ze’s expression darkened. "You’ve disturbed their fetal qi."
"It looks like we need to take you to the Divine Temple."
