One day, Rong Siyun found an egg at the entrance to the Demon Realm.
As a Demon Venerable with an extreme weakness for beautiful faces, her first instinct was to toss the hideously ugly egg away.
But she accidentally formed a contract with it, so Rong Siyun had no choice but to bring it home.
More than ten years later, she stared at the ugly egg, which still hadn't moved from its corner, and fell into deep thought.
That very day, she set a large pot on the stove, ready to boil it and eat it.
Little did she know that the moment she turned away, a crack appeared in the ugly egg, and a thin little gray snake wriggled out.
"Mom!" the little snake cried in a childish voice, wagging its tail.
Rong Siyun: ?
Rong Siyun: ...
What an ugly snake. She'd have to find a chance to get rid of it.
But when she saw what the little snake looked like after transforming into human form, Rong Siyun suddenly changed her mind.
...So pretty. Maybe she should keep it around a little longer?
And so the dignified Demon Venerable began an utterly absurd life raising a "kid."
Years later, the "little gray snake," now with its memories restored, touched the pair of sharp horns on its head. Its golden pupils narrowed into slits, and its pointed fangs gently grazed the back of Rong Siyun's neck.
"M-Mom..." Jiang Bai forced the words through clenched teeth, his expression terrifyingly dark.
The kitten she'd spoiled for hundreds of years had actually tried to become her mother while he had amnesia?!
This was completely backward.
The black dragon Jiang Bai felt his intelligence had been insulted.
Rong Siyun covered the white cat ears that had popped out of the top of her head against her will and sincerely asked the heavens: ...May I return this, please?
