Don't Blame Me for Drawing My Sword Without Mercy

As the Demon Venerable, Lou Ling received a divine oracle from the Heavenly Dao one day: three bonds of fate remained unresolved, and she had to become a flawed mortal and raise three children. Having lived for tens of thousands of years, Lou Ling was bored. After giving it some thought, she decided that experiencing what it was like to raise children might be nice.

So she split off a fragment of her soul, became a mortal, and began raising children.

The first child she raised was a scruffy little pheasant. When it grew up, it became a little phoenix. The phoenix said arrogantly, "Mortal, it is your honor to be with me. Now I am leaving. There is no need for us to meet again."

Lou Ling: "Ah, ah, ah." That's right, she was mute.

The second child she raised was a little green snake. Before long, however, it became a great green dragon. The dragon said coldly, "I won't kill you, considering you took care of me for a while. But don't think you can claim any connection to me."

Lou Ling sighed. "I don't even know what you look like. How could I claim any connection to you?" This time, she was blind.

The third child she raised was a little girl. But after the girl grew up, she plunged a sword into her own heart. The woman said indifferently, "What tribulation of love? It hasn't affected my Dao heart in the slightest."

Lou Ling didn't even have a chance to dodge. This time she was lame. The three bonds of fate were now complete, and her mortal body was destroyed.

After returning to her true form, Lou Ling took a deep breath. She probably really wasn't cut out for raising children. She would go into seclusion and sleep.

But while Lou Ling was in seclusion, the outside world was turned upside down. The newly appointed leaders of the Phoenix and Dragon clans were fighting fiercely over a sliver of a mortal's consciousness, and the God of War joined the fray when he heard about it.

They said that this sliver of consciousness belonged to the lover they had abandoned. They also said that the God of War had killed his own lover with his own hands.

The people of the Demon Realm, who knew who that mortal was, were discussing it heatedly. Then word got out, and the three came to her door, waking Lou Ling from her sleep.

Lou Ling looked at the three kneeling on the ground in bewilderment. "Who are you? Why did no one stop you? Hurry up and leave on your own, or don't blame this Venerable for drawing my sword without mercy."

Pairing: Heavenly Dao, 1v1. A laid-back, easygoing Demon Venerable x a Heavenly Dao of unknown disposition. The romance comes later; the story starts with raising children. The Heavenly Dao will stay by the protagonist's side, but only the protagonist can see it.

Theme: Squeak
