Chapter 804: Xia Ji’s True Purpose (7)
"So, after going through all lengths to deceive me here, what exactly do you want?" Han Qingjue stared coldly at Xia Ji and said sharply.
"Hahaha~" Xia Ji suddenly burst into laughter, and after a while, she said, "Qing Jue, do you know why I specifically chose you?"
Han Qingjue mocked, "Chose me to do bad things? I really have nothing much to say, I indeed can’t outplay you, so don’t beat around the bush, it’s pointless. Just tell me directly what you want!"
"Tsk tsk, what’s the rush? No matter how anxious you are, if the time isn’t right, it won’t work!" Xia Ji gestured towards the cushion by the low table: "Sit down, we can talk slowly. This time, I really have good news for you!"
Han Qingjue knew she was no match for Xia Ji, so now it was completely she being at the mercy of others, like fish on the chopping block. From the moment she was forced by Xia Ji to steal the Beiming Pearl, she knew there was no turning back for her.
Han Qingjue closed her eyes then walked over and sat down, remaining silent.
Xia Ji chuckled: "Weren’t you just complaining that even possessing Su Yu would be futile? Here’s your chance now. I’m not joking, once I refine the Shengxue Pearl and break through to the Divine Level, I can change the Xia Clan’s rules. By then, that rule about being loyal to one person can be broken. You can legitimately marry that little thing! The Xia Clan’s rules are more like a curse than rules. Only by breaking through to the Divine Level can this curse be lifted, allowing for the revision of the clan’s rules, and by then, getting that little thing will be an easy matter for you!"
Han Qingjue frowned: "Is that so? Then tell me, what do you need me to do? If you can refine the Shengxue Pearl and reach the Divine Level, why would you make it cheap for me?"
"Hahaha~" Xia Ji laughed: "What a smart kid, I didn’t choose the wrong person! Don’t worry, since I brought you here, how could I shortchange you? Indeed, I need you to do me a small favor."
"The Shengxue Pearl is refined from the essence of the blood of 108 Divine Level ancestors of the Xia Clan, with a fiery nature. To refine the Shengxue Pearl, you must balance the yin and yang, which requires the heart blood of 108 virgins to achieve a state of balance. But such a major event in the Xia Clan, even if Xia Qingcheng isn’t on guard, it would be difficult for me to accomplish, not to mention, I’m simply no match for Xia Qingcheng." It’s possible to find so many unmarried girls from the Xia Clan, but killing so many to obtain their heart blood isn’t an easy task, she wasn’t that foolish.
Han Qingjue tightened her brows. It turned out Han Jing was telling the truth; Xia Ji really wanted to refine the Shengxue Pearl, and refining it would require the lives of so many people.
"So, I’m not planning to find that many women to offer their blood." Xia Ji wasn’t stupid. Although Xia Qingcheng might not know her purpose initially, the records concerning the Shengxue Pearl must mention its other uses, so he will find out sooner or later. She purposely let Han Qingjue and Ling Xiang leak the information, also to make Xia Qingcheng think she would seek so many unmarried women to harm them, thus diverting Xia Qingcheng’s attention.
And the reason she knew more than Xia Qingcheng was because of her father.
