Chapter 486: The Xia Clan’s Family Rules
Xia Ji looked at the desolate Han Qingjue and continued, "So now, do you still plan to spare him? As long as he lives, you will never get him. This feeling of watching the man you love but never being able to have him, do you truly want to experience it?"
Han Qingjue stepped back a few paces, shaking her head and said, "You’re lying to me, aren’t you? How is that possible? Why can’t I marry him? You must be lying to me!"
"Lying to you?" Xia Ji sneered, "Hahaha, why would I lie to you? The ancestral rules of the Great Xia Divine Clan dictate that every male in the clan can only marry one wife in his lifetime, and can only consummate with one woman. Those who defy this rule will die by body explosion. As for the reason, you should ask our ancestor who established the Xia Clan rules with her divine soul; no one is to defy them. Naturally, this little thing has never returned to the Xia Clan, so he doesn’t know about this rule. I haven’t had the inclination to tell him either. Anyway, if he dies because of this, that’s just his bad fate."
They, the Great Xia Divine Clan, are the last existing Divine Clan leftover from ancient times. Every member with Xia Clan blood possesses extraordinary gifts thousands of times greater than mere mortals. However, the Xia Clan rules are strictly enforced, and those who violate them must face divine punishment. Over time, the Xia Clan gradually declined, and no more Divine level Experts emerged. These rules were established by the last Divine level Expert, a woman betrayed by her husband, so the rules she set for men are extremely harsh. She established them with her divine soul, sacrificing herself to set them, more aptly called a curse.
Unless another Divine level Expert from the Xia Clan emerges to modify the rules, all descendants with Xia Clan blood must adhere to the rules without defiance.
Han Qingjue’s fingers tightly clutched the Jade Token, her body trembling.
Thus, she was manipulated by Xia Ji and made such a grievous mistake, ultimately gaining nothing.
Even if she took Yun Peng away, she could only watch him, unable to be his wife or love him for a lifetime; so why did she bother back then?
"Why, why..." Han Qingjue’s tears slipped down her cheeks. She really didn’t want to believe such a fact. Now, she has nothing. She stole the Beiming Pearl, causing her mother serious injuries, and harmed Sect Leader Yun. She is now the sinner of Beihan Palace and Spirit Flame Sect.
But now, it’s too late for regrets; things have reached this point, and she is powerless to reverse it.
Yun Peng...
What exactly should she choose? She can’t watch him die; she can’t do it. She knows she was deceived by Xia Ji, but if she didn’t have selfish desires and weak will, how could she have fallen for it?
But now, who can tell her what she should do?
"I don’t have time to spend with you here anymore. No one knows you stole the Beiming Pearl yet. If you go back, you will still be the Miss of Beihan Palace, powerful and commanding. But if today, you choose to let this little thing live, whatever consequences you might face in the future will be all your own doing." Xia Ji seemed a bit impatient, just like this little thing didn’t want to see her, she also didn’t want to see him. Every time she saw him, the pain she endured because of him deepened, and her hatred for him grew.
