Please Spare My Life, Disciple of the Demon Lord

The entire street and square were filled with wounded people lying on the ground. Yan Ming, who was watching this scene, knew that Cang Shuzi had no time to take care of anything else, so he took the opportunity to fly away on his sword.

After the dream demon disappeared, only the blue dream loquat flower on his shoulder was left, which was decomposing into several petals bit by bit in the air. Before disappearing, each petal was like a decomposed mirror, projecting the lives of the dream demon and Xiao Liuzi piece by piece.

More than 20 years ago, a couple in Pingxia City gave birth to a deformed child. The child had an ugly face, deformed limbs, was neither male nor female, but hermaphrodite. Everyone who saw him said he was a monster.

Out of fear, his father threw him into the mountains where wolves roamed, leaving his life to fate.

But what they didn't expect was that the next day, a man dressed as a monk brought the child back.

He told them that this was their karma and that it was their sin to kill their own children with their own hands.

Because before this child they had already had four children, and they were all drowned in the river just because they were not boys.

Therefore, it is a punishment from God, making them atone for their sins on this hermaphroditic child. As long as they treat him well, the karmic sins can be eliminated.

Fearing punishment from heaven, they could only raise the child at home with respect and fear. However, their neighbors always came to see him out of curiosity, and then were frightened away by his appearance, and spread the story in the streets that this family had raised a monster.

As time went by, no one dared to approach the yard, and his parents were also ostracized by the surrounding neighbors.

They were filled with resentment and hatred, but they did not dare to abandon him, nor could they treat him as their own child, so they could only lock him in a room in the house and not let anyone approach him.

Days like this lasted for a long time. Although he felt lonely, he was still able to live a peaceful life because of his ignorance.

Until their sixth child was born.

They couldn't understand why they still only got a girl after treating the monster well, and they began to doubt what the monk said, and even felt that they were deceived. They no longer believed in cause and effect, but they still kept him out of instinctive fear.

So they covered the room with black paper, leaving no light anywhere except a dog hole for delivering food, so that no one could see what he looked like.

He stayed in that dark little house every day, looking at the outside world through the small hole like a dog, until a toddler girl appeared in the yard.

That day she accidentally fell at the entrance of the cave, and met his pair of frighteningly red eyes. The weak sunlight revealed the scar on his face. He waited for the expected scream, but it didn't come.

In the past, everyone who had seen him would make a shrill sound, and then either burst into tears or point at his parents and ask why they kept a monster in their home.

But this time, the child didn't do that. Instead, she became more curious and wanted to stick her head in. She wanted to see the person inside clearly, but the next moment, a pair of big hands grabbed her clothes and lifted her away.

He recognized those hands, the hands that had thrown him to the place where wolves were howling, the hands that had put chains on him, and the hands that had covered the whole room with black paper.

He was instinctively afraid and retreated to the corner of the room with the sound of chains on his body clanking, but the sound sounded as fresh as a piece of music to the girl's ears.

Later, she would always lie down at the small hole and look inside from time to time. Because it was too dark inside and she always had her back to the light, neither of them could see the other clearly.

The communication between them also changed from watching at the beginning to one person chattering.

She grew up, and he had been in this little house for five years without realizing it.

She called him for the first time: "Brother?"

She didn't understand why her parents locked her brother up, and every time she asked, they scolded her.

Finally one day, she tried to steal the key and opened the door. The sunlight coming in from the door shone on him and he was so blinded that he couldn't open his eyes.

The open door was closed in an instant. After the loud noise, he heard the most tragic sound. His sister was beaten with rattan sticks, crying and begging for mercy.

"You cheap bastard, you just want to get in!"

"You can't hear what I say, right?"

"I'm going to beat you to death today? Beat you to death!"

"If you want to be siblings with that monster so badly, wait until next life!"

The man became more and more agitated, as if he wanted to vent all his years of resentment on her. The sound of whips rang out, but the sister's voice gradually became weaker.

He lay at the entrance of the cave, whimpering excitedly, unable to utter a complete sentence to stop the man.

He could only cry and shout, hoping that the man would let her go, let his only sister go.

His voice angered the man, he opened the door, rushed in, and beat him over and over again with the cane in his hand, but he was somewhat happy because he was tired and had no energy to beat his sister.

He fell to the ground holding his head, and his eyes met with his sister who was lying on the ground in the yard. This time they saw each other clearly. It turned out that his sister was so beautiful.

Days like this passed for a long time, until it didn't rain in Pingxia City for a long time. Without him knowing anything, a group of people rushed into his small dark room and tied him up and took him to another place.

They said that the drought in Pingxia City was caused by him. They said that he brought disaster to the city and that the drought would end if they could just burn him to death.

That day, everyone looked at him fiercely, except for the little girl in the audience who was in tears in front of the scorching flames, while his parents looked relaxed and relieved.

He saw this emotion in their eyes, and they felt that they had finally gotten rid of this monster of his.

The scorching fire burned every inch of his skin, making him scream in pain. It hurt so much, so much pain, and so hot!

He shouted so loudly and heartbreakingly, but only one person in the entire square shed tears for him.

The fire started quickly but burned for a long time.

He was burned to death, and only a few unburned bones remained of his ugly body.

A girl picked up the bones when they were not paying attention and buried them on a hillside outside the city.

She followed the adults' example and collected her brother's body. She sat beside him, as usual, one inside and one outside.

But now they are only separated by a thin layer of fine soil.

She cried and said to him, "I don't have a brother anymore!"

Her tears fell on the newly risen earth and on his bones.

The "monster" in Pingxia City died, but the drought did not end. People's resentment shifted from the dead monster to his family members who gave birth to him.

After his death, his parents finally got a little retribution.

No one was willing to treat their illness, and they were driven out of Pingxia City by the entire city's residents.

"It's just that you're not a son!"

When leaving the city, the man said this to his sister, then left without looking back.

They abandoned her simply because she was not the son they wanted.

She walked to his grave crying, she had nowhere else to go.

Ironically, it was raining.

When their parents left, it rained in Pingxia City.

His sister fainted on his grave, and he knew that he was the only one who could protect his sister.

So, after the heavy rain, a blue mallow flower bloomed on his grave, glowing with a wonderful brilliance.

When she plucked a flower, another one would bloom, and each one was more beautiful than the last.

Later, a child selling flowers appeared in Pingxia City. She dressed herself up as a boy and picked fresh Mongo flowers to sell every day. Those who saw the Mongo flowers would take them home and then willingly have a sweet dream.

Later, the lush Mengluo flowers covered the entire Pingxia City, and the child became Xiao Liuzi of Yunlai Inn...
