Chapter 49 - 47: Su Chen is a Killing Monster Who Doesn’t Blink

I don’t know when it started, but the people in the family privately ridiculed them as an iron tree that wouldn’t blossom. For over a decade, he and his wife bore a deep sense of guilt, enduring all hardships and taking all risks in the Su Family. Why? To live up to his father’s expectations and to have a son, to not submit to the ridicule and disdain of his siblings. Finally, the heavens did not fail the determined. He exchanged years of good deeds and accumulated virtue for the innocent and adorable Little Su Chen. He thought they could finally hold their heads high, but who would have thought that on the first night of celebration, it was cruelly announced that the child was a monster! Such a huge reversal dealt a suffocating blow that left him unable to recover. Finally, almost all the guests had left. Butler Lan Si, seeing that Su Hutian was unresponsive, had no choice but to take the servants to clean up the aftermath of the banquet. Su Hutian stood surrounded by Su Xiong and others. At this moment, they all looked at Su Hutian with complex expressions, feeling both sorrow and pity. Especially Su Hutian’s second brother, Su Xiong. His brows were slightly furrowed, his face somber, and a glimmer of contemplation flickered in his long, narrow eyes. The position of the Su Family Patriarch has always been announced by the previous patriarch, and the conditions for succession are naturally high. One must make great contributions to the family and be praised and recognized by the town’s populace. Su Hutian met these two criteria perfectly, making him the natural first choice for patriarch of the Su Family. Everyone thought that this choice of patriarch was set in stone, but later realized they were all wrong. After more than ten years of marriage, Su Hutian and his wife had not had a single offspring. This terrible news left the family members feeling incredulous and baffled. Under pressure from other clan members, including Su Hutian’s father, the three elders of the Su Family had to make a decision: if the couple still didn’t have a son by the end of fifteen years, the patriarch position would be reassigned! And today was precisely the last day of Su Hutian’s fifteen-year period. His wife, who became pregnant a year ago, showed signs of going into labor at dawn. To everyone’s delight, the child was born smoothly, and to their greater astonishment, the child had the natural qilin bloodline! But the joy didn’t last a day as it was completely shattered by that horrifying scene, blown away to nothing! Su Hutian’s father, Su Anyun, gazed at his son with eyes full of desolation and a hint of dampness in the corners. Pinning all hopes on the birth only to welcome a little monster that killed the Spirit Master, the pain in his heart was no less than that of Su Hutian himself. "Hu Tian, don’t be sad. We should carefully plan for the future now. The child might be subjected to everyone’s..." But before he could finish speaking, Su Hutian’s face suddenly turned cold, and he said indifferent, "Father, I’m tired, I’m going back to my room to rest!" With that, holding Little Su Chen in an overcast mood, he ignored everyone’s startled gazes and walked straight out of the hall. Su Xiong’s eyes focused, and after pondering for a while, he walked towards Su Anyun, "Father, isn’t Big Brother a bit too much?" Su Anyun sighed bitterly, "It’s as if the heavens are mocking my Su Family, haha, if it’s really fate, then I have nothing more to say." Su Xiong frowned and said, "But what about the fifteen-year promise Big Brother made with us?" Su Anyun shuddered all over and then looked at Su Xiong somewhat suspiciously. "Let him have some peace. He’s already suffered enough blows, and after some time, we’ll reconsider his right to the patriarch position..." Su Anyun shook his head and, supported by a maid, staggered out of the hall. Su Xiong looked at his retreating figure, lost in thought for a long time, so much so that Su Xue pulling his hand didn’t snap him back to reality. "Papa, Papa, what’s wrong?" Su Xue shouted anxiously, looking up with her small face. Su Xiong started with a jolt, then tenderly patted Su Xue’s head and smiled faintly, "Good Xue’Er, Papa will take you out to play." Su Xue blinked her big eyes in confusion, just about to ask something, but was pulled away by Su Xiong. She looked back at the hall, but the horrifying scene that just took place surfaced in her mind. A living elder turned to ashes in an instant. What on earth happened to Brother Chen?... Su Hutian held Su Chen, his face ashen as he looked at his wife, Bai Shaqi, lying by the bedside. Her slightly rosy face showed a trace of joy. "Hu Tian, quickly give me the child to see." Su Hutian hesitated for a moment, trembled, and shook his head bitterly, "No way..." "Why not?" Bai Shaqi’s brows furrowed, dissatisfied with the response. Su Hutian’s eyes filled with grief as he looked at his wife’s longing expression. His eyes reddened involuntarily. At the thought of Su Chen’s future treatment, an endless bitterness and hatred filled his heart. Why is it that Su Hutian, after a lifetime of difficulty, finally has a son, only for it to end in tragedy? Losing the patriarch position was one thing, but the child was innocent. If he were treated as a monster, wouldn’t his entire life be ruined? Seeing Su Hutian’s unusual expression, Bai Shaqi panicked and hurriedly said, "What’s wrong, Hu Tian, did something happen to the child? Speak quickly!" "The child... is a natural-born qilin bloodline murder monster..." Su Hutian’s tiger eyes widened, speaking in agony!
