Anyways Shen Yuan isn’t too happy about just being thrown into this but he’s going to at least try his best to give his child a good life. It’s nearing spring and the herd SY’s been transmigrated into is preparing to migrate to colder regions, and SY isn’t allowed to come because unicorn babies don’t have a strong enough resistance to the cold to survive the harsh lands they hail from. So he’s going to be separated from his herd for a period of time while he raises the baby.

(Unicorn “mothers” usually lower their body’s temperature to be suitable for the foal, and it usually stays that way until the foal gradually develops the temperature tolerance. Once this happens the Unicorn mother will take the child and return to the herd using the innate locating talent (namely through their horns) and natural affinity that they are born with.)

Anyways Shen Yuan is doing just fine, and he gives birth to a healthy unicorn (in human form, SJ was conceived when the og body was in human form so he’s in human form too). He spends his time recovering from the harsh birth and raising his child with the instincts his body has. He’s recovering steadily until his child disappears one day and he can’t find it anywhere—even with the use of his horn—so he thinks his child is dead and his body gets so extremely mournful and with the hormonal imbalance it pushes his recovery back a long while. Even after he’s recovered he’s not as lively as he was before and roams the forest he’d resided in listlessly. His mind being affected by his body.

Shen Yuan couldn’t find his child (Shen Jiu) because Shen Jiu’s been snatched up and had his horn broken by some old fallen noble couple trying to make a fortune. The couple gets their karma and dies but Shen Jiu’d been raised as a “human” for long enough that he doesn’t really know much about his heritage and isn’t aware of his nature. He only knows that he has a tail and apparently other people knowing about it is very dangerous.

His horn would be broken before he understood what it was, and as a street urchin he was hardly eating enough for his body to grow a new horn and the information about unicorns was limited so he never put the whole “unicorn horn + long tail = I’m a unicorn” thing together.

Right well at the Qiu household he’s obviously nourished and fed well enough because Qiu Jianluo wants to use him as a cauldron and all of the other disgusting things he wants to do to Shen Jiu. Imagine everyone’s surprise when Shen Jiu wakes up with a horn protruding from his forehead? Shen Jiu doesn’t understand it but Qiu Jianluo does and he immediately breaks off Shen Jiu’s horn and starts panicking, wondering if he did it too late.

Spoiler, he did. Shen Yuan’s og body, that was supposed to die of grief, clocks the brief magical signal almost instantly and Shen Yuan goes running immediately. (He’d been in unicorn form in the forest because… why would he be human and living in a forest?) He can’t pinpoint just where the magical signature came from, so he just barges into town with his huge ass Unicorn body and scares the shit out of a lot of people. When he gets to the town he pauses to think, nobody’s going to understand him if he’s a unicorn so he rushes to switch forms and ends up running around in a centaur-like form searching for his child.

He asks everyone he can find questions and eventually some street child points him in the right way by saying he looks almost identical to some boy named Shen Jiu, who’d been sold off to the Qiu household. Shen Yuan latches onto that and books it there. No gates, guards, or half-baked cultivation can stop him. He barges into the manor—which is a surprising feat considering the size of him in his centaur form… that he still hasn’t transformed out of due to how much of a rush he’s been in—and sees Shen Jiu’s broken horn on Qiu Jianluo’s desk (Idiot was planning on using it to refine a body enrichment pill but just left the main ingredient on his desk) and all hell breaks loose.

Shen Yuan is enraged—and not just because his body is willing him to be, but also because of the fact that these guys were abusing a child PERIOD—and he just starts absolutely destroying the manor and trying to rip Qiu Jianluo apart with his bare hands (okay maybe that part comes from his original body).

Anyways so Shen Jiu’s first glimpse of his mama in years is just Shen Yuan raising himself up on his hind legs, a sea of flames behind him—he’d knocked over more than a few lanterns in his blind rage—covered in gore, getting ready to stomp Qiu Jianluo, his abuser, to death while screaming “WHERE THE FUCK IS MY CHILD??”

First time I could get a video of it (they always stop when you have a camera on lol).

It's a short video and really quiet, but still. Maybe I'll get a better recording one day.
