The boss is back and she doesn’t pretend to be a fake daughter anymore

When Li heard her ask, he just raised his eyebrows slightly.

Apparently not surprised she would ask.

Or rather, he waited for her to ask.

"Xuan Xiao wasn't in Jing City from the beginning."

As the acting head of the Security Bureau and a member of the dragon clan, Li Ting had naturally already investigated the half-demon dragon cub that suddenly appeared in Jing City.

"He was born in a remote mountain village in the Northern Province."

Over the past thousand years, the demon race has declined, and the dragon race has not had a dragon cub born in nearly a thousand years.

Under such circumstances, every newly born dragon cub should be carefully cared for, even if it is half-demon.

But Xuan Xiao was an accident.

Because dragons are powerful and rare, they tend to develop an egocentric nature.

Although Li Ting is a member of the dragon clan, he cannot guarantee that every dragon is a good dragon.

There is such a dragon in the Northern Province. He is domineering and selfish by nature, and he acts arbitrarily because no one is in charge of him.

Because he met a beautiful woman by chance in the mountains, he bullied her regardless of her wishes and took her for himself.

It was still the Republic of China at that time. Although the status of women had improved, the status of women in the village remained the same, let alone a woman whose innocence was ruined by giving birth to a child alone.

She lost her innocence and was forced to get pregnant.

The woman was condemned by the villagers and driven away to live alone in a wooden house near the foot of the mountain.

She didn't want to give birth to the child at first, but she tried many ways to get rid of the child but failed.

The child was still born.

As soon as the child with the breath of the dragon was born, he naturally attracted the dragon.

He was pleasantly surprised at first.

After all, it is difficult for dragons to have offspring, but he let a human give birth to his child.

He couldn't wait to bring the child back to his tribe to show off, and even ignored the woman's pleas.

But soon, he discovered that apart from a faint dragon aura at birth, the child's appearance and soul were almost indistinguishable from those of a human.

Normally, half-demons are born with demon characteristics, and they can only restrain these characteristics when they can control their own demon power.

But Xuan Xiao was born a human being. As the faint dragon aura dissipated, the smell of dragon blood on his body became so faint that it was almost imperceptible.

Long was very dissatisfied with this, but still thought it might be due to the half-demon bloodline, so he decided to wait and see.

He took the child away by force despite the woman's cries and pleas. He raised the child for ten years, and the child grew up like a normal child.

But it's just too normal.

He is no different from an ordinary human being in both appearance and aura, and any little demon can knock him down.

The dragon was unwilling to give up, so he used some tough measures on the child, trying to forcibly activate his dragon bloodline.

However, the result was a failure.

He was ridiculed by the elders of his tribe, and finally realized that this dragon cub was a "defective product."

Considering the last bit of blood relationship, he did not throw the child away casually, but sent the almost half-dead child back to the woman.

To a dragon, ten years is just a very short period of time in its life and can pass in a good sleep.

But for humans, ten years is too long, enough to change a lot of things.

The woman got married and even gave birth to another child.

She had a normal child, and all the love she had for her previous child had already been poured into this child and the family.

As for Xuan Xiao, he was taken away at birth and was sent back dying when he was ten years old. Even though this was the first child she had conceived with great effort, it was difficult for her to love him again.

She simply couldn't support him, and her current family wouldn't allow her to.

The woman threw him back to the wooden house at the foot of the mountain.

The ten-year-old child survived there alone.

He knew he had a father.

But his father tortured him and abandoned him.

He also knew that he had a mother, but his mother didn't want him either.

He doesn't even have a name.

He grew up alone in that little house.

Occasionally, someone would secretly put two steamed buns for him in front of the house, and he knew that they were left for him by his "mother".

There is her scent on the steamed bun.

She didn't give up on him completely.

But he was not accepted.

The ten-year-old Xuan Xiao didn't understand why.

Fifteen-year-old Xuan Xiao began to understand.

Because he is different from others.

The first people to discover this were the villagers.

Although it is far away at the foot of the mountain, people from the village still come here.

At first, the villagers felt sympathy, disgust, and contempt for him, but as time passed, those people began to fear and hate him.

Because they found that he had never grown up.

I don't know if it's because of the dragon bloodline.

Or maybe it was because of the torture my mother gave me in the womb.

Or maybe it was because his father forced him to awaken his bloodline.

In short, he stopped growing.

The children in the village grew up one by one, and the adults grew old one by one, but he was the only one who remained ten years old.

The villagers were disgusted and horrified, calling him a monster and wanting to drive him away.

It was an older and more knowledgeable person in the village who said that he had dwarfism, a disease.

He's just sick.

I have a disease called dwarfism.

He is not a monster.

Some people in the village accepted this statement, and the expulsion and bullying against him finally showed signs of easing.

But there are still many villagers who express disgust and disdain for him.

Not to mention the children in the village, they didn't understand what dwarfism was, they just knew that he was a monster who would never grow up.

The woman didn't mind that he didn't grow up, and she would still visit him secretly from time to time and leave some gifts for him.

Later, her husband and another child died one after another, and she went to find him with her bag.

He didn't have much affection for her, but he would make sure she wouldn't be bullied by the villagers.

He lived in the village like this for thirty years.

During this period, the old man died, the woman grew old, and only he still looked like a ten-year-old child.

He also knew long ago that he was not suffering from dwarfism.

He is a monster.

Later, war broke out and their village was affected by the fighting.

The woman died in the gunfire.

It was obvious that they had only been together for ten years, and it was obvious that he didn't think he cared that much about this woman.

But seeing her die before his eyes still drove him mad.

He went crazy and killed all the dwarfs who came to the village to burn, kill and loot.

He himself was seriously injured and dying.

He thought he would die with her, so he used up his last bit of strength to dig a hole, buried the woman first, and then dug another hole next to it to bury himself.

However, he still didn't die.

The dragon bloodline is too powerful. Even if he is only a half-demon, his strong physique means that he cannot be killed easily.

He survived and became a real monster.

Another thirty years passed after that. He walked alone in the war, and after liberation he hid in the mountains alone.

He never stayed in one place for long.

Until he met Mr. Wen.

That time, he was seriously injured in a fight with a big snake and was almost eaten. Mr. Wen appeared and easily dealt with the evil snake that had developed intelligence but was harmful to people.

I also discovered him by accident.

A ten-year-old child, with the soul of nearly a hundred years old.

He brought him back to Jing City, helped him learn to control his demonic power, and gave him a new name.

He also asked him if he should be sent back to the Dragon Clan.

Xuan Xiao refused.

To him, whether it was that dragon or the dragon clan behind him, they were all existences he hated.

They destroyed the woman and they destroyed him.

He says,

"Even if one day I will return as a dragon... that will only be when I am strong enough to trample that dragon under my feet."
