It is true that there are also very infatuated people.
But how to trust them? I don’t know about Xie Yan either. They both said that being with their current wives was not their intention. Either the parents' orders, or the matchmaker's words. Ah, such a situation does exist, but how to distinguish it? For things like relationships, it would be boring if things had to be done on a first-come, first-served basis.
She felt inexplicable pity for someone who was really willing to die for her. Although human life is short, it is precious precisely because of its shortness. How could they give up so easily? What's even more frightening is that they really did this. How could Xie Yan believe them? Even if she doesn't love her own life, how can she believe that they will love her?
Human beings are really untrustworthy.
By the time she was hundreds of years old...she had forgotten the exact number. Anyway, that day was her birthday, and she suddenly thought that maybe she could have a child. It was around this age that her mother gave birth to her. She is the stronger one among the siblings. Those who are too weak will be eaten by their mother and used as their own nourishment. Scorpion's mother is like this. After giving birth, they are always exhausted. If there are weak ones among the offspring, they will be devoured by more powerful monsters sooner or later. It is better not to take advantage of them, but to Recycling is better.
How many children will it take? Eat the weak and leave the strong behind. Anyway, the life of a monster is very long, and she can experience a life she has never had before. But if she wants to have a child, she must find a husband, and she cannot bear offspring by herself. In this case, she would have to carefully screen her mates - the first thing she would exclude would be humans. What kind of virtue they have, Xie Yan knows very well. Even if it is really just a matter of borrowing seed to have a child, it is terrifying and pitiful to think about how the half-demon will be treated. But she has never met a suitable monster. Even if she finds a suitable partner, the other person will alienate her because she has been among humans for a long time. You know, powerful monsters have their own dignity.
She gave up after searching for a hundred or two hundred years. Perhaps this kind of thing really depends on what humans call fate. But one day, she happened to meet a child. The child was the son of a playboy. He must have been seven or eight years old when we first met him. In the eyes of monsters, such children are no different from babies. His father, like many people, made some "mistakes that all men in the world make." His mother was a mentally fragile person. Because her husband repeatedly found various women to go home for fun, she couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide at home. When Xie Yan went back with him, she was already dead. It was natural for the man to be eaten clean, and such a person deserved to die anyway.
However, the man's son saw her eating, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
At that time, Xie Yan was very full and had no intention of paying attention to the brat who was hiding in the corner, wrapped in a quilt and still young. But the strange thing is that he was not afraid at all when he saw his father being eaten by monsters. Speaking of which, his mother's death didn't seem to have any impact on him, as the body was clearly lying next to him. Is this guy's brain a little slow?
"My mother went to another world." He said, "My mother always said that there is a paradise above the human world, and you can have whatever you want. She couldn't bear the pain of life, so she left early. But I couldn't do it yet. She said that I I have to wait for a while until I am as old as she is before I can find her up there. She said she would go first and then show her spirit to me."
"You're lying to children," she said. "Where did you find this paradise?"
"I am just a child."
"Aren't you afraid that I ate your father?"
"Isn't this a great thing? He only knew how to beat us, but now he is at peace. It must be my mother's ghost, right?"
"I'm a monster and have nothing to do with your mother."
Having said that, she unexpectedly brought the child with her. She didn't know what she was thinking at the time. Maybe she planned to use it as a food reserve and get rid of him when there was nothing to eat. Judging from his silly appearance, he has no fear of monsters and no respect for life and death. Maybe it's too small? No matter, it’s harder to cheat when you grow up. At this time, she didn't know that she would regret her sudden decision in the future.

The child grew up really fast, growing up from her waist if she wasn't careful, and soon surpassed her one day. It was also on this day that she realized that this kid had lived in such a muddle for a long time. It was probably because she had been among the crowd all year round and had no shortage of food and clothing. She even had enough to raise a child.
How did she get here all these years... Because it was too fast, she couldn't remember clearly. The matter of eating and drinking was still easy to fool around with. She got so much money from the man, feeding a child was not a problem at all. His appetite was so small. Although, the frequency of needing to eat is too high, maybe because their life span is short? But you get used to it. If not, give him the money and let him buy something to eat when he's hungry. If you don't do petty theft, it will easily get her into trouble.
When a boy becomes a teenager, he is always too lively, his clothes are always torn, and he grows too fast. I always feel like I just asked him to cut his clothes yesterday, and he has to do it again today? That's all, she always needs to get some new clothes, just by the way. I also eat more. It seems that my expenses have increased a lot, but not by much. The boy grew up into a young man, and suddenly he no longer had much to do with his family. He seemed to have found some kind of job by himself? Because everyone of the same age has something to do. It seems that he worked as a coolie at first, and later learned how to do business, buying and selling. It didn't matter, she didn't care. Anyway, when it was time, the boy came back stupidly and talked about boring things all day long, making her unable to rest. When young people reach their prime, they seem to have gained a lot of abilities. It seems that he stopped asking her for money a long time ago, and now he still brings it to her. Every now and then I bring her some gold and silver jewelry, which are very expensive. Could it be the money he stole? Forget it, just don't let the government catch you, why bother with so much. He said that he didn't know what she liked for so long, but gold was something that both men and women liked and would never fade. It’s definitely a good idea to buy this.
Then he gets old. It was so fast that she didn't pay attention.
"Your skin has always been so delicate." He held her hand and said, "It's different from the girl who works hard at washing and cooking. You haven't aged at all."
"Stop flattering me. Tsk, you've touched a lot of girls' hands, just like your father."
"That's not what happened. I just saw too much. If you say that, I will be sad."
His words were so sincere and his eyes were so sincere that Xie Yan couldn't help but look at him twice. It was with this casual glance that she finally realized that wrinkles had unknowingly appeared on his face. This is too strange. I always feel like he was... two days ago.
Then he will eventually die of old age one day, right? If she hadn't eaten him by then, would she be at a huge disadvantage? But it seems that he has not lost anything over the years. Rather, life is much more convenient, and even foot-washing water is brought to me. If such a diligent and sensible servant suddenly disappeared, I might not be used to it. Where can I find such an easy-to-manage silly kid?
Silly boy...child...
I always feel that this child hasn't grown up yet, why is he old?
Time flies incredibly fast. But when she was his age, she was clearly a silly girl. Then again, it's really strange. She left her mother a few days after she was born, and to this day there is almost no memory related to her mother. How on earth did she provide this food reserve and be both a father and a mother? If you think about it carefully, this brat has never called himself mom, so after you have fulfilled your duty as a mother, can you call yourself a wolf like a human being? But that's all, she doesn't regard him as her biological son, so that's not a loss. Like a pet at best. Maybe it’s because he’s like a cat or a dog that she can easily raise him to this day, right? I give you a few pats when you are happy and a few curses when you are unhappy. There is no burden and no need for repayment. In some places, people are so hungry that it is common to kill their own dogs for meat.
But it has never come to this time.
When she was starving in the wilderness, she actually attacked humans and weak monsters. She is very ferocious when hunting, her hands turn into monster pliers, and poisonous needles can come out of her hair. That look was really scary, but the kid didn't think so, and thought it was "very handsome and interesting." Xie Yan didn't understand what he was thinking.
The first human being to know and accept his identity turned out to be such a guy. Such a guy actually had the ability to build himself a small building so that she could have a place to stay. However, she doesn't like to stay in one place for too long. Her beauty is so blatant that she easily gets into trouble. Changing places frequently is also convenient for hunting. But this small building has always been there. Anyway, the title deed is in their hands and no one can take it away.
The boy who later became a man couldn't walk, so he rested in it by himself. It was really strange that he could live in the things he promised her as a matter of course. He also promised so many things that I can’t even remember them clearly. There was only one sentence that she could still remember clearly - even though almost all men had said this.
"I will always be with you."
From to big.
Speaking of death.
Then it was over, everything was over, there was no more him, and there was no companionship.
Human beings, especially men, are full of lies.
"You humans, one or two, are all liars."
After she finished telling her story, she waved her hand to the audience without interest. She also said she was not hungry now and did not want to eat her. If you know what's going on, get out of her small building quickly.
"But there's not a single family in this area for a hundred miles." The woman said, "You obviously know that, right? This building looks lonely on the vast plain. You, too, are lonely. I look really pitiful. , and came to visit.”
"What do you humans know? If you keep talking nonsense, I will eat you."
"You do know some things that monsters don't know, right? But, maybe I don't look that appetizing to you?"
Before seeing the face that was riddled with holes, Xie Yan, who had been practicing for nearly a thousand years, really thought that this visitor was just an ordinary human being.
She had finally decided that she would never trust human beings' promises again.
