It was none other than Quan Gang, his mother's elder brother.
Quan Gang had long coveted the throne. Back then, he was the one who framed Quan Xiao, forcing her to flee. He had assumed that she had disappeared for many years and was long dead, but he never expected her to return alive! And pregnant with an heir!
An heir represented a successor!
Quan Gang was not a pureblood Teng Snake, his talent was mediocre, and his competitiveness was low.
If the child she bore was a mixed-blood demon beast, it would be fine, but if she gave birth to a Teng Snake…
Quan Xiao gave birth to twins, both Teng Snakes.
One of the Teng Snake cubs was a demon clan hybrid.
Before his death, his father beast used his power to seal the demon clan power within the child, but there was no telling when it would awaken.
Quan Gang secretly listened to the instigation of his confidants and used a scheme to kill the weakened Quan Xiao after childbirth, blaming it on the demon beasts. As for the two children… he secretly kept the offspring without demon clan blood as an adopted son, who later became Quan Xiu, intending to seize his bloodline and body in the future.
The old Beast Emperor was heartbroken over the loss of his daughter and became depressed. He hated demon beasts even more, and he sent people to throw the offspring with demon beast blood into the desolate Mist Forest. Abandoning a newborn cub in such a place was basically a death sentence.
Before her death, Quan Xiao had also feared that this mixed-blood offspring would be abandoned, so she made a backup plan, having her confidants secretly transfer the child. However, they were pursued by demon beasts, and the confidant beastman fled to the border between the Eastern and Western Continents, where he happened to meet the old Lion King, Ugali · Arans, who had come to train.
He offered all his belongings and entrusted the child to him before his death.
How could the confidant beastman have more cunning than the old Lion King? He was tricked into revealing the child's identity. The old Lion King was overjoyed and immediately made a vow to the heavens and earth, promising to raise the child to adulthood.
The confidant beastman also held back, not telling him about the demon clan bloodline within the child.
The old Lion King and Quan Gang were essentially the same kind of person, both wanting to use the child to cleanse their bloodline. He used his power to create a false image of the child's death. In this way, he deceived everyone, and Quan Jin changed his name to Kaiser and grew up in the Western Continent…
Sang Luo opened her eyes, and what followed was everything she knew.
She looked at Quan Jin with concern, "Your body, really in that fire…"
Quan Jin nodded, "My Teng Snake body was burned to ashes, leaving only a piece of soul bone. At the moment of death, my demon clan bloodline awakened, and I returned to the Void Demon Realm and used a demon body to be reborn."
Sang Luo felt a pang of sadness. No wonder even after regaining his memories, the trace of Yin energy surrounding Quan Jin had not changed at all.
He was now a thorough demon clan member.
Different from those demon beasts who became demons later in life.
There was no turning back.
Quan Jin looked at her, who was saddened, and the tips of his fingers hanging by his side twitched slightly, feeling uneasy for a moment.
The reason he hadn't told her about this was that he was afraid she would hold a grudge.
She hated the demon clan, even it could be said that she… loathed and detested them. If Sang Sang knew that he was now a complete demon clan member, would she also hate him because of it?
"I am a demon clan member, but, Xiao Qi is not… He is the offspring of me and you conceived in Teng Snake form… He has nothing to do with the demon clan…" Quan Jin hurriedly cleared up his son's relationship.
"I know." Sang Luo squeezed his slender and beautiful hand, took a deep breath, and resigned herself to fate, "Forget it, marry a chicken, follow a chicken, marry a dog, follow a dog. What if you are a demon clan member? As long as you haven't done anything that hurts the heavens and harms reason, and you are good to me and the child, that's enough!"
Quan Jin smiled, "Sang Sang, bring out the child."
Sang Luo took Xiao Qi out of her space, happy and regretful, "It's been so long, and I haven't seen the other snake cub yet. Xiao Qi said it seems to be a sister."
Quan Jin's eyes turned cold, but when he looked at the mother and son, they melted into spring water again, "I will bring my daughter back to see you."
Xiao Qi also woke up slowly, looked at his mother, looked at his father, and then looked at the handsome uncle with a stinky face beside him, not yet understanding what was going on.
Quan Jin touched its head and instructed, "You stay with your mother first, be good, don't make trouble, and I will come to pick you up in a while."
Quan Jin had something to do and didn't stay for too long before leaving.
Fei Yuan looked at his leaving figure, lost in thought.
Xiao Qi rubbed against Sang Luo's palm, gently shaking the tip of its tail, happily and timidly saying, "Mother, are you, are you still angry?"
Sang Luo was stunned before remembering that she and Quan Jin had quarreled before separating from Xiao Qi last time! At that time, Xiao Qi was caught in the middle watching, almost crying…
Ah! She was really a bastard!
How could she quarrel in front of the child!
Sang Luo couldn't help but slap herself, lowered her head and kissed its little head, softly and gently saying, "I'm sorry Xiao Qi, Mother shouldn't have been so fierce that time, Mother apologizes to you!"
"At that time, Mother and Father just had some misunderstandings, but we should have resolved it privately, and shouldn't have affected you. It was Mother's fault."
"Mother and Father both love you very much."
"Um~ Mother, you have to be with Daddy, and you can't abandon Daddy and Xiao Qi and my sister anymore." Xiao Qi's beautiful eyes were wet, the little male cub didn't want to cry in front of his mother, so he buried his head in her palm and rubbed against it, rubbing out a patch of wetness.
Sang Luo felt even more distressed, "Your Daddy has something to do, he is relieved to leave you to Mother, Mother will definitely take good care of you."
"Luo'er, may I see this child?" Fei Yuan said.
Sang Luo said to Xiao Qi, "This is your Uncle Fei Yuan, he likes little cubs very much, you have to have a good relationship with Uncle, Uncle is both beautiful and rich, he has a lot of delicious things in his space!"
Xiao Qi's eyes lit up, and he said crisply, "Hello, Uncle Fei Yuan!"
Fei Yuan looked at the mother and son singing in harmony, his eyes softened, and he was quite envious of that dead snake beast, Luo'er actually gave birth to a pair of twins for him, where did he step on dog shit… He also went to step on it.
Thinking that after his child was born, it would also be a happy family of three like this, Fei Yuan's irritable mood faded by more than half. He took out a bulging small Qiankun bag from his space and hung it on the tip of Xiao Qi's tail, "Your mother has said so, and Uncle can't be stingy. These snacks are a gift for meeting you."
"Thank you, Uncle!"
Xiao Qi happily swam to his palm.
Sang Luo knew what Fei Yuan was worried about. He extended a wisp of power and entered Xiao Qi's body to check if there was any residual demon energy in its body.
After a while, Fei Yuan withdrew his hand, and looked in the direction Quan Jin left in surprise, "He is a demon clan member, but this child is well raised, and has not been infected by half a point of demon energy. His temperament is gentle and kind, and he doesn't look like a child who grew up in the Void Demon Realm."
"Daddy is a demon clan member?" Xiao Qi was more surprised than the two of them.
Sang Luo, "You have been with Daddy for so many years, don't you know?"
Xiao Qi shook his head, "I only know that Daddy has contact with the demon clan, I don't know anything else, Daddy never let me get in touch with the demon clan."
Sang Luo remembered that every time Quan Jin brought Xiao Qi to see her, he would restrain his own demon energy very well…
For several years, the child had not discovered any flaws, and he had put a lot of effort into it.
Fei Yuan thoughtfully withdrew his gaze, swallowed the sentence "Can his father still come back alive" back into his throat, and smiled at Sang Luo, "Luo'er, this cub is really good, let me raise him."
