Chapter 149: Chapter 107: Use That Magic on
Andasu let out a light laugh, with a slightly desolate expression.
"When he left, the people who at that ti appeared like beggars in my eyes gathered around . I had worn my favorite dress that day, and just a touch from them would leave a black stain.
"Back then... describing myself as being scared out of my wits wouldn’t be enough. After my parents held , what state I was in, I can’t even rember.
"Even now, no matter the near-death pain from severe battle injuries, I feel there is no tornt worse than that day. But I can’t accurately recall what it felt like, because when I think of it, I just..."
The beast-eared maiden hugged her arms, her whole body trembling.
"Your parents treated you well, didn’t they?" Li Ang asked.
"Yes, their excitent was only because they missed
so much. Only after I woke up from my terrified state did I gradually understand that those people around
weren’t bad people, but by then many days had passed.
"I slowly began to believe that I was one of them, after all, aside from my eye color being lighter, I looked just like them.
"They treated
very, very well, you could say with ticulous care.
"From then on, I grew up among the Yunxiang Race. I secretly ran to his palace but was chased out by the guards. I knew them, had spoken to them, received their praise, but they drove
away like trash.
"My parents told
I was the hope of the Yunxiang Race, a ’King’ that would appear once every hundred years, that there was a generational blood feud between the Platinum Imperial Family and the Yunxiang Race. They hoped I would hate the Platinum King and overthrow him one day.
"I did indeed hate him, but..."
Andasu’s eyes lowered, unable to continue.
"Do you only hate him for abandoning you?" Li Ang asked softly.
"Yes."
The young girl’s eyes were reddened with tears, her face revealing an elegant, delicate beauty.
"I can’t understand their hatred for the Platinum King at all. As I grew day by day, I understood that it was all justified, but I..."
Li Ang said: "This is not your fault."
Li Ang believed that this was exactly the effect the Platinum King wanted.
"Living on the streets with the tribe was not easy, so I gradually learned to fight, and t the Bonipanni sisters through combat. The sandland rchants are extrely ruthless, if you are not fierce, you get devoured. I killed soone at the age of ten."
Andasu sniffed, her tone slightly altered: "On my twelfth birthday, the Platinum King summoned . My heart was a tangled ss, but I imdiately rushed to the Platinum Hall.
"I walked through the semi-familiar, semi-unknown courtyard and saw him. By then, he was so frail he couldn’t even walk. I actually wanted to ask how he was doing.
"However, he just showed
the blood contract signed with our clan. If the massive debt wasn’t repaid, we would remain enslaved by him forever.
"I don’t even know what I was thinking. I said I would pay the debt and free them once it was paid off."
Li Ang shook his head, not saying anything.
"And then?"
"After that, I could et the Platinum King freely, but like his other subordinates, I had to have official matters to reach him.
"I grew to hate him more," Andasu smiled bitterly, "The words of my clan beca clearer in my ears. Each ti I weighed and compared the two sides in my mind, a mysterious nausea and dizziness overca , and to rid myself of this pain, I thought I should kill him.
"So, during an audience with him, I hid a dagger on my person.
"That day he was very relaxed, I had several chances to strike, and finally, I steeled myself and grasped the hilt of the dagger.
"But just before drawing the blade, I don’t know why, I hesitated."
As the young girl spoke, an exotic fragrance beca increasingly noticeable in the room.
"Countless images from the past flashed in my mind. I began to wonder what would happen if he died. Endless thoughts surged uncontrollably in my mind, and I forgot to draw the dagger, forgot I was holding its hilt.
"When I t the eyes of the Platinum King, I snapped back to reality, and he smiled."
"He said: ’I know what you brought, I’ve been waiting for you to realize you can never kill .’
Andasu tightly squeezed her arm, as the exotic fragrance rose in the room.
"No one knows, I’ve already tried... He’s a demon that toys with human hearts, he knows exactly what I will or won’t do.
"After confirming I couldn’t draw the blade against him, he wanted
to beco his woman. I turned and ran, he didn’t stop . He said that one day, I would willingly do so."
The young girl raised her head, her golden eyes filled with tears, trembling and wavering, but at this mont, unwaveringly firm.
"From that mont on, I wholly believed I should kill him. But I don’t know how to do it...
"You must think I’m a good slave, facing the one who brought
suffering yet not resisting at all...
"Even now, I don’t understand how I am supposed to be the hope of the Yunxiang Race. Just because my eyes are slightly different and my Blood Fragrance is a bit more explosive, I don’t feel anything else. If I had the power, why wouldn’t I dare take action..."
Andasu’s teary golden eyes looked at Li Ang, sobbing uncontrollably.
"I understand," Li Ang sighed.
Before the crossing, Li Ang had learned sothing about psychology.
How does a child establish a connection with a community? The answer lies in the love from their parents.
Generally before the age of six, human infants, through close physical contact with their parents, perceive safety and attachnt, which helps them gradually understand what "emotion" is. This attachnt to parents also becos the prototype for future emotions towards all outsiders.
