I took out a stick of Dragon's Blood Incense from my belongings and carefully lit it. This incense was something I had secretly hidden away, meant to soothe the Snake Mother. The other snakes around Snake Mother Cliff quieted down.
I let out a sigh of relief, but I noticed that the Snake Mother was still watching me. Even when I turned away, its gaze followed closely behind. Why was it staring at me?
"Do you have something to say to me?" I asked.
The Snake Mother couldn't move; it could only lie on the ground. Its eyes remained fixed on me. Gathering my courage, I crouched down in front of it and asked again, "Do you have something to tell me?"
Why wouldn't it speak? Could it not talk?
"I... I can't understand your words."
It continued to look at me, still unresponsive.
"Then I'll go face the wall."
With no other choice, I walked past Snake Mother Cliff, cutting off our eye contact.
As the sun began to set, I saw dragon father return from outside, his expression cold and stern. He ignored me and went straight into the house.
Soon after, laughter filled the room—Dragon Mother’s delighted voice rang out. How wonderful; I wished I could laugh like that too. But dragon father never praised me, and Dragon Mother only scolded me.
If I could make Dragon Mother happy, would she compliment me? I remembered discovering a spiritual spring years ago and had specifically gone there to fetch some water. It would be perfect for Dragon Mother, who had just given birth to my little brother.
I prepared a medicinal dish using the Snow Lotus I had just picked, combined with the spring water, and brought it to Dragon Mother.
"Dragon Mother, I made this especially for you. Please give it a try."
I looked at Dragon Mother with eager anticipation.
She took a bite and then splashed it all over me. "Are you trying to kill your brother?"
"This Snow Lotus is freezing; how could your brother possibly handle it?"
I didn't understand how the intense cold of the Snow Lotus was related to my brother.
I dared not retort and could only silently endure Dragon Mother's anger.
"You can't treat a child like this; you'll scare him."
It was the voice of the Dragon King.
He was scolding Dragon Mother.
I slowly raised my head, only to find that the Dragon King was speaking to my brother.
He didn't even look at me.
I stepped outside, one foot crossing the threshold, but I couldn't help but turn back.
Dragon Mother smiled gently, and dragon father did too.
They were all gathered around my brother.
Until one day, I discovered that my brother had no arms.
dragon father and Dragon Mother told me not to speak of it to anyone.
I understood.
In fact, I felt quite strange myself.
But I really liked my brother.
After all, his arrival brought such joy to dragon father and Dragon Mother.
"Wang Long, this is Night Pearl."
One day, Dragon Mother handed me a pearl.
I happily accepted it.
Holding the Night Pearl high in my hand, I wanted all the dragons in our clan to see it.
"You fool, give me what you have in your hand."
It was A Mo.
He was incredibly strong, and I couldn't match him.
"Let go of me, A Mo! Let go of me!"
I shouted, calling for A Mo's Dragon Mother.
I thought A Mo's Dragon Mother would give him a good lesson. After all, he had taken my belongings.
But instead, A Mo's Dragon Mother threw Night Pearl away.
I watched as Night Pearl soared high into the sky, eventually disappearing from sight.
A Mo's Dragon Mother shot me a disdainful glance.
"What if you get Night Pearl? It’s not something you deserve, you monster."
I rushed outside, only to find that Night Pearl was already gone.
A Mo's Dragon Mother dragged A Mo back while scolding him, "You even want someone else's worthless trinket? Can’t you aim for something better in the future?"
"Dragon Mother, that was Night Pearl."
"What Night Pearl? It's just some junk that others discarded."
"And don’t hang around that monster anymore."
"She’s just a Snake Embryo, born of a snake; even her dragon father doesn’t recognize her!"
I stood there in shock.
My dragon father doesn’t recognize me?
Wasn’t I born of dragon father and Dragon Mother?
A Mo turned back and made a face at me.
"You’re just a monster, a child born of a mother snake!"
I stood frozen in place.
The snakes in the delivery room, and my brother...
Who exactly am I?
