Chapter 2 My True Nature
My name is Tang Xi. My true form is a female Mantis.
For thousands of years, our Mantis clan has had to devour our mates after conception to replenish nutrients.
It’s an instinct carved into our blood.
Since the day I conceived, the intense Pregnancy Reaction tormented me nonstop.
Dizziness, weakness, constant vomiting.
My sense of smell became razor sharp too.
The slightest strange odor in the house made me gag.
I lay there for a while. My stomach started churning again.
I rushed to the toilet and vomited violently once more.
There was nothing left in my stomach.
I brought up bitter bile.
Then blood.
While I was suffering, my husband Ye Wangbai heard the noise and got up.
He stood at the bathroom door and couldn’t help speaking.
“Honey, let’s go get an abortion tomorrow, okay? Seeing you like this breaks my heart.”
