Chapter 1383 - : She Couldn’t Bear to Do It
Jun Xiyan looked at Jun Xiqing and enunciated each word with a smile. “You’re not a daughter of the Jun family. You’re merely an orphan who was abandoned by your parents. Our parents and uncle knew all along. Your blood can naturally neutralize any toxins and this wasn’t due to the medicine uncle gave you. It’s the only reason they adopted you 23 years ago.
“23 years ago, Uncle Jun was young and intelligent and was the President of Country Z while our father was the General of the army. The Jun Family was filled with talents but this also attracted the envy of other people which led to a lot of resentment and misfortune, ultimately resulting in a shaky rule.
“You showed that you were different from a young age. You were interested in politics and had intelligence second to none, so Uncle Jun and Dad, who came from political families, decided to place their hopes on you. Uncle Jun brought you back to the President’s residence and decided to bring you up himself and teach you the art of wolf taming
“Jun Xiqing, you’ve done great. You haven’t let Uncle Jun or Dad down at all. When we were in danger, you were willing to risk your life to save us and were able to become one with the wolves at the young age of 20, creating the mighty Wolf Iron Steed Troop. You lead the Jun Family to make history. As the young daughter of the Jun Family, you became a living legend.
“But your journey ends here. We don’t need you anymore. Uncle and Dad are ours. They’re not your relatives!”
The hurtful words were like knives stabbing into her as tears blurred her vision, falling in fat droplets down her face. They burnt her eyes and scalded her heart.
So all of this had been a lie.
Her entire life had been a lie, all a lie.
“Bring a kettle of boiling water over,” Jun Xiyan instructed.
“Yes.”
An underling quickly brought a kettle over.
Jun Xiyan took the kettle and walked over to Jun Xiqing, pinching her cheeks.
“Jun Xiyan, what are you doing? Let go of Her Highness! Don’t you dare hurt her! Are you still human? Her Highness can’t even bear to hurt you. She can’t even bear to hurt you and you’re doing this!” Ping Ping walked forward but was stopped by the two guards.
Jun Xiyan looked at Jun Xiqing in hatred and said, “Qingqing, the Wolf Iron Steed Troop belongs to Country Z, to the Jun Family. They will no longer have anything to do with you in the future. I’m going to destroy your vocal cords now so you can no longer howl like the wolves to command them. You will never be able to speak again.
“Qingqing, please don’t be angry. All that you have right now was given to you by the Jun Family. We’re only taking it back.”
With that, Jun Xiyan pulled open Jun Xiqing’s mouth and poured the hot water in.
The instant pain that hit her throat burned its way down to her bones as the water flowed down her throat, but Jun Xiqing soon became numb. The pain quickly faded into nothingness.
She felt as though someone was twisting a knife in her heart until her flesh had melted into her bones and she was full of holes.
Her eyes landed on Jun Xiyan and Jun Chulin drowsily. They were standing at the side and looking at her coldly, silently agreeing with what Jun Xiyan was doing…
Ha.
Jun Xiqing’s red lips curved upwards as her eyes closed.
…
In the dark of the night, as Country Z slept, Jun Xiqing was collapsed on the carpeted floor.
At this moment, the door opened and someone walked in. Jun Xiyan opened her mouth. “Clan Head Yuan Ming, you’re here.”
Yuan Ming had come.
He looked at Jun Xiqing, who was collapsed on the floor and said, “I want her. Don’t kill her.”
“No. It’s too dangerous to leave her alive. She’s no ordinary woman. We need to get rid of her thoroughly.”
“Jun Xiyan, we have a collaboration. Do you want to ruin that?”
“Clan Head, tell me why you want her alive then. Is it because she is the true Holy Lady from the Holy Lady Clan?” Jun Xiyan asked.
Yuan Ming looked at Jun Xiyan. “That’s right. She is the true Holy Lady of the Holy Lady Clan and her blood is precious. It can awaken the ancient Jiu You Beast Bailing.
“What?”Jun Xiyan was shocked.
Jiu You was the only country not part of this independent world. It was an island surrounded by smoke all year round and was called the fairy realm.
Yuan Ming took a painting out and opened it slowly. “The Holy Lady Clan doesn’t belong to Country A, but Jiu You. The daughters of the Dongfang Clan are all Holy ladies of Jiu You. But there was some internal strife and the Ancient Beast Bailing went into a deep sleep. There was a prophecy that a hundred years later, the Dongfang clan would give birth to a Holy Lady chosen by the heavens. She would awaken Bailing and unite Jiu You.”
