Li Sheng was a snake demon living on Mount Chushan. Every day, he woke up to eat, then ate and went back to sleep. His little life was wonderful, and he had grown himself into a plump, round snake.
As long as he didn't kill or harm anyone, Li Sheng figured his next few centuries as a demon would pass just as pleasantly.
Then one day, Li Sheng had a lapse in judgment. Tempted by his appetite and unwilling to listen to advice, he insisted on going down the mountain to catch a farmer's chicken. He ended up getting beaten and fleeing in a panic. Along the way, he couldn't resist picking a wooden basin out of the river.
When he got back, he discovered a human child lying in the basin.
"?!"
Li Sheng hated himself. What was wrong with him?
He couldn't bring himself to throw the child away, but he didn't dare kill him, either.
With no other choice, Li Sheng took the child home and raised him, feeding him well and keeping him comfortable.
But as he raised the child, Li Sheng began to realize something wasn't right.
Wasn't the child he raised supposed to be a plump, juicy, simple, gullible ordinary human? Why was there a demon hunter covered from head to toe in copper coins standing in front of him?
"..."
As a demon himself, Li Sheng had a blood feud with demon hunters. He decided to strike first and kill the man.
But when he looked at that handsome, good-looking face he'd watched grow up, Li Sheng found he couldn't bring himself to do it.
Damn it! Run!
But every time Li Sheng ran away, he got caught and brought back.
"..."
Seriously? I'm just a little snake demon, and, if you think about it, practically your dad. Do you really have to do this? Can't you let your dad go?
