The Immortal Witch's Five Nonhuman Adopted Sons

The immortal witch, born of the bloodline of an ancient Eastern kingdom, has black hair and black eyes. Though powerful, she's a loner who dislikes being around people.

Because she's completely obsessed with nonhumans.

Later, she takes in five adopted sons.

They're all half-beast slaves of the lowest status, with tainted bloodlines, loathed and despised by both humans and beastfolk.

The witch heals the half-wolf boy, who's been tortured to the brink of death. As he watches her warily and nervously, she frantically strokes his fluffy tail. "Xiu Gougou, your fur is so soft and smells so good! I'm gonna rub you bald!"

The snow leopard boy bares his teeth and growls at her. The witch pins down all four of his limbs and rubs his fluffy ears with a wicked grin. "Kittens are born to be eaten by their mommy!"

The gloomy snake-tailed boy coils his tail and silently tries to hide in a corner. The witch gazes at him in a trance, pinching his snake tail. "Ah, these beautiful scales! Ah, this adorable little pink forked tongue!"

The cool, frail crane boy folds his wings and glares at the golden cage, both ashamed and furious. The witch laughs maniacally. "You're just a delicate little baby bird. What can you do? It's not like you can escape from the palm of my hand!"

The octopus boy, who's always worn a gentle smile and is a wolf in sheep's clothing, can't manage to smile now. The witch tugs at all his tentacles, drooling. "You keep waving your tentacles in front of me. Aren't you just trying to get my attention?"

But though the immortal witch is eccentric and a pervert (crossed out), she has a good heart.

She raises them all to adulthood in good health, then says goodbye on the day they come of age.

"Off you go. From now on, you should go out and make your own mark on the world."

"Hehehe, I'll go pick up some more fluffy ones to take home."

But the immortal witch never expected that the adopted sons who once wanted to escape her would turn frighteningly sinister after she said this.
