During my pregnancy, I was nourished daily by snake blood. At this moment, scales had grown all over my body, and my eyes had transformed into golden vertical slits. My tongue seemed to fork as well. I could feel the Dragon Serpent Pearl inside me drawing on my dragon blood and spiritual energy every second of every day.
As time passed, the Dragon Serpent Pearl remained still, showing no signs of movement. Until one night, Wang Mang arrived. He bound me tightly to the bed.
"Hehehe."
"Don't be afraid, my little darling."
"I'm here to help you give birth."
Without hesitation, Wang Mang used a knife to slice open my abdomen.
"Ah—"
I screamed in pain, but Wang Mang paid no attention. He reached inside my belly, rummaging around for something. I watched helplessly as his hand delved in and pulled out a pitch-black pearl. This was what they called the Dragon Serpent Pearl, resembling a dark snake egg.
Wang Mang handed the Dragon Serpent Pearl to the Clan Leader, who had hurried over.
"Father, this is for you."
"This Dragon Serpent Pearl seems particularly large."
"It must have excellent effects."
The Clan Leader nodded, preparing to give the Dragon Serpent Pearl to Wang Mang's wife.
"This needs to be nurtured by the Snake Woman for a month to absorb enough of her essence before you can give it to your wife."
"In a month, the Dragon Serpent Pearl will surely mature."
I lay on the ground, drenched in blood, but they showed no concern for my life and continued discussing their next steps.
"Don't worry about her!"
"She is the Dragon Maiden!"
"She's not that easy to kill."
"We're leaving!"
With that, the two of them departed.
I lay on the ground, my heart as cold as ash.
Is this what my kin have become?
Struggling, I crawled to the corner of the wall, curling up into a ball and transforming into a serpent.
It wasn't until seven days later that I regained my human form.
But by then, I was no longer the delicate person I used to be.
My skin was covered in dull, lifeless scales.
My beauty had vanished.
Now, I was nothing but a monster.
Meanwhile, Wang Mang was busy nurturing his wife, Xiao Yu, with the Dragon Serpent Pearl, completely oblivious to my plight.
The only one who came to see me was the Clan Leader.
He feigned concern for me, visiting twice a day to bring me food.
"Eat up."
"This is your favorite meat."
I leaned over the basin, gnawing on the meat.
A flicker of disdain crossed the Serpent Clan Leader's eyes.
"Don't blame me."
"We have no choice."
"You've seen it; our Serpent Clan is dwindling in numbers. If we can't transform into dragons, we will eventually be slaughtered by other tribes."
"We don't want to treat you this way."
"But now, we are left with no options."
"You must understand us!"
I couldn't be bothered to respond.
If I weren't the only Dragon Maiden, would they treat me like this?
The answer was no.
They are nothing but a group of hypocrites.
The Clan Leader sighed, "You have every right to hate us."
"You can't escape."
"Let's go."
"I'll take you back to Lingqi Pavilion."
With his words, my heart sank to the depths of despair.
Am I destined to spend the rest of my life in this endless suffering?
...
At Lingqi Pavilion, the women of the clan looked at my current state and shook their heads in disapproval.
"She looks like this now; can she still help...?"
"If you ask me, it would be better to just kill her!"
...
The Clan Leader shook his head. "No."
"She's just a bit weak right now."
"I will find a way to help her recover fully."
"When that time comes, all you need to do is continue your Dual Cultivation with her alongside your men."
The women of the Serpent Clan nodded in agreement.
"Alright."
"We'll listen to the Clan Leader."
But suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck down.
It hit one of the women, and she perished as a result.
Her body was split in two, a horrific sight to behold.
The women of the Serpent Clan were thrown into chaos at the sight.
