This was the loss of a body that had been cultivated for such a long time and was sacrificed to this world to gain merit.

Currently, the nest of kobolds where Small Knife was born had as many as thirteen pups.
Small Knife looked around and, because of the choice, most of the other kobold pups were stronger than himself. Although he was not the weakest, he was among the top three weakest.
Sucking on kobold milk, Small Knife shyly comforted himself, thinking of it as sheep milk, just using his mouth directly, it's the same once you get used to it.
Moreover, in such a competitive environment, half of the kobold pups couldn't get enough to drink, Small Knife included.

However, Small Knife could cook up some extras through his personal space.
