"Mother, after the blood demon sent us away, we landed in a forest in the mortal realm. I think it's because I wasn't born to my parents that the blood curse was broken in me that night. But I couldn't break it in my younger brother and sister, and they couldn't remember their parents either," Hao'er recounted, detailing their experiences in the world without adult supervision.
"Big Brother was in a lot of pain. He kept screaming and sweating. We were scared, but we took care of Big Brother," Yue'er added.
Feng Jiu's heart ached. "It's Mother's fault. Mother didn't take care of you."
"No, Mother is very good. We love Mother the most," the three children said in unison, their eyes filled with love.
A tender smile appeared on Feng Jiu's face. She sat beside them, lifted Yue'er onto her lap, and said to Hao'er, "Hao'er, please continue."
