Fabre in Sacheon’s Tang

‘Wait a second...’

Yakseon’s sudden shift in attitude—and the way his eyes sparkled while staring at the kids—

The moment I saw that, a terrifying thought hit me.

Yakseon—he was someone who made medicine. And in the eyes of people like that, what would our kids look like?

I leapt forward and blocked the children from view.

‘This is insane!’

When I’d first met my father-in-law and the Heavenly Poison Deity, they had come all the way to Hainan Island to catch the mother of the kids—Fabre’s mate—so they could obtain her Neidan for Hwa-eun’s treatment.

Technically, what they needed was just the Neidan, but I’d heard that they’d planned to use the rest of the body too. The shell was going to be used to craft tools, and the flesh was going to be dried and processed into medicinal materials.

But once Cho, Hyang, and Bini made it to the Tang Clan and received affection, no one could bring themselves to use their mother’s body. Instead, it was sealed inside the Hall of Ten Thousand Poisons.

Even giving her a burial was tricky. Because spirit beast bodies are treated like priceless treasure, they were afraid it might get stolen. That’s why she was sealed in a stone coffin inside the hall.

Of course, using her was forbidden.

The Tang Clan might be a top-tier family when it came to making poison by soaking people in venom, but they weren’t heartless enough to turn the kids’ mother into medicine or tools.
