Chapter 163: Searching for Cure and His Faith in Her
’I’m infertile and the cure cannot be found?’
Xing felt like the ground beneath her feet slipping up and she stood straight just by the support of the tree she was leaning on. She knew something was wrong because until yesterday there was a seasonal river flowing south of her as if it was monsoon season and today after that God sneaked some pill inside her, she is fine.
Also taking in the fact that Shengli’s inability to look her in the eye, her brother and the Emperor’s melancholic glances, she Kind of guessed that might be the case. That Poison Shihong slipped inside her that day... That must be the reason.
As Xing’s rational mind was making deductions putting two and two together, the God of Fire started to mock her,
" Poor you... How useless you are! It serves OUR purpose though.. ", she sneered.
Xing felt her emotions overwhelm with her statement.
I REALLY AM USELESS! I cannot carry my prince’s children! My Prince knew about it and he hid it from me! I am no longer a woman and that was planned by these gods too? How cruel they must be to me for making me bow to their wishes? Are they closing every door of my escape so that I will cower to their antics and accept the command they gave me?
Or is this Goddess lying to me? Xing wanted to at least have a sliver of hope left. She wanted what that Goddess told her to be a lie.
Xing felt her throat closing and before she knew her surroundings got blurry as tears formed in her eyes and her heart felt tight and she wanted to wail burying her head in Shengli’s chest. But looking at the derisive Godess in front of her, she held her tears back. She is not that much of a fool to shed tears in front of a person who obviously hated her for some reason.
Xing tried to get out from there as she didn’t want that Goddess to see her broken look but she just appeared in front of her again. She was hell bent on teasing her.
How mighty of her to stomp on a mortal when I am down, especially when I’m supposed to do her work for her! To kill a god!
Xing felt bitter but she didn’t have the energy to argue with her and let herself to be mocked. For her, It seemed like her life was at rock bottom now and she was free to be stomped and trampled on. What self-respect? What dignity? Nothing can be of help now!
