Huanhuan said slowly, "I know it's too difficult for you to endure it, but if you can't resist your gluttony, I won't be able to keep you by my side. At that time, I'll have to ask your father to bring you to live with the demons."
Clement immediately hissed. He refused to be separated from his mother!
Huanhuan stood on tiptoes and leaned forward to kiss his forehead. "Can you restrain your desires for my sake?"
Clement did not respond.
Huanhuan looked at him with tears in her eyes. "If you want to live with us, you have to learn to live like us. Endurance is the first thing you have to learn. I know this process will be difficult, but I'll always be by your side. Promise me, okay?"
Clement flicked out his snake tongue and wiped away the tears in her eyes.
The wet, salty taste made him vaguely learn the meaning of tears again.
