Chapter 328 Heartless
Upon hearing this, Nalan Guixue's face drained of color, and he said in a low, hoarse voice, "Mother, you wouldn't be suggesting that I have some demon blood flowing through my veins, would you?"
The Xie family head said, "That's right, I didn't originally intend to tell you about this so soon."
"But since you want to understand everything, I'll tell you."
"Once you fall in love, you will experience all sorts of inexplicable emotions because of love. These emotions will make you unable to suppress the dark aura in your heart. Once others find out, we will both die."
"They might even die bearing the brunt of public condemnation."
"You should know what Warcraftians are like among Orcs; they are people everyone wants to kill."
"Therefore, remaining detached and indifferent is the best way to protect you."
Nalan Guixue was even more heartbroken when she learned the truth.
My heart felt like it was bleeding.
He never imagined that he had half-orc blood.
At that moment, he sat down, feeling as if all his strength had vanished, and a sense of powerlessness washed over him.
The truth is so cruel.
Nalan Guixue pinched his brow hard; the truth was giving him a splitting headache.
He never imagined that he would have some demon blood in his veins.
Ah!
Dark Orcs.
This was something he could never have imagined, and it was a bloodline that was despised and vilified.
“Mother is wrong. I am a dark orc, which means I am not worthy to be with my wife, not that my wife is not worthy.”
"The wife deserves a better male."
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Xie angrily retorted, "What do you know? In ancient times, the Demon God Emperor was an extremely noble being, even higher than the Beast God. The Demon bloodline is extremely noble because Demon Beastmen can awaken dark-type superpowers, which is the most powerful superpower system."
"But later, because of a war in ancient times, the demons were slaughtered and had to bear false accusations. The demons were innocent and should have been revered by the orcs."
"Without the efforts of generations, how could the demon bloodline have survived?"
"We carry the hopes of the entire demon race on our shoulders. You must not fall in love or let anyone discover your identity."
As he spoke, the Xie family head's expression became extremely serious and solemn.
Hearing this, Nalan Guixue felt a bitter taste in his heart. After a long while, he finally spoke in a hoarse voice, "If that's the case, why did Mother choose Father?"
"Your father was deeply in love with you back then, and yet you've hurt him like this?"
"Was it possible for my mother to be both cold-hearted and ruthless while deceiving my father?"
The Xie family head remained silent for a while before speaking softly, "I should have had genuine feelings for your father. Although I did have the intention to use him at first, sometimes, when you're together, some feelings just get out of your control."
“Your father is indeed very good. He loves and takes care of me, treating me well in every little way. I am not heartless and cannot remain indifferent.”
"Besides, if I were cold-hearted and indifferent, your father would never believe me. When it comes to feelings, you can only deceive the other person if you deceive yourself."
Speaking of these things, Xie family head recalled the past. Although the memories were still sweet, her heart was unusually cold and devoid of emotion.
"Just when I was about to give up the plan and really want to live in anonymity with your father, I found out that I was pregnant."
“I possess demonic blood, and my child will certainly also possess demonic blood. I have no choice but to undergo a reawakening process, so I consumed the Heartless Pill.” Upon hearing this, Nalan Guixue’s eyes trembled, and he looked at his mother in disbelief.
"You actually took the Heartbreak Pill?"
The Xie family head chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Yes, do you think I'm extremely ruthless to myself?"
"The Heartbreak Pill is a medicine left by our ancestors. My father took it, I took it, and you took it too, but I don't know why it didn't work for you."
The Heartbreak Pill clearly worked very well for her.
Nalan Guixue looked deeply at her mother, "How cruel, Mother is truly heartless."
"If my father hadn't left behind his soul back then, and if the Nalan family hadn't had a secret method to repair him, my father might have really died. When my father died, my mother probably didn't feel any pain."
The Xie family head, who had taken the Heartbreak Pill, did not feel any heartache at the time, but over the years, he has felt a great emptiness in his heart.
The Xie family head would not allow herself to dwell on past emotions. She said coldly, "In order to preserve the demon bloodline, I have no choice but to do this, because we have sacrificed far too many of our ancestors."
“Our lineage carries the blood of the Demon God Emperor, the most noble and exalted bloodline, which must be preserved.”
Nalan Guixue asked with a heavy heart, "Was the sect leader of the Absolute Killing Sect also a demon?"
The Xie family head knew that there was nothing left to hide now. "No, that sect leader is just a dark orc. As I said, we demon orcs are the earliest dark orcs, more noble and stronger than dark orcs. Controlling them to do things is a piece of cake."
“You can blame me for being strict with you and trying to control you when you were very young, but that’s because I was afraid something would happen to you, and I had to protect you.”
Nalan Guixue continued to ask, "Is my poor health since childhood due to this?"
The Xie family head nodded and said, "That's right. I've been weak since I was a child because I have a portion of demon blood. Demon blood is naturally powerful, but my body can't contain that power, so I've become weak over time."
"You are the same, but you are fortunate to be an ice and snow spirit beast. Your ice and snow constitution can naturally suppress the dark bloodline. As long as you do not fall in love, you will become stronger and stronger. Perhaps you can recreate the glory of my demon race in ancient times, and all dark beastmen will respect the Demon God Emperor."
Nalan Guixue's gaze grew even colder, his eyes seemingly frozen into ice. He said coldly, "So, Mother's choice of Father was all planned long ago?"
After a moment of silence, the Xie family head gave in under his son's gaze, "I don't deny it."
Nalan Guixue felt as if all her beliefs had collapsed.
He pinched his brow with his long, slender fingers, a self-deprecating smile curving his cool lips. "How ironic."
"If that's the case, then there's no need for this demonic blood to exist, and Mother shouldn't care about my life or death."
The Xie family head's expression changed, frightened by Nalan Guixue's words. A look of fanaticism appeared in her eyes as she said, "You can end your own life. If that's the case, I don't know what crazy things I might do."
"It might kill everyone you care about and love."
Nalan Guixue's eyes were like a frozen pool, and her aura seemed to solidify into icy blades. "You're insane."
"Yes, I've been insane for a long time. I've been insane ever since I took the Heartbreak Pill."
After consuming the Heartbreak Pill, she did everything according to her predetermined plan, unwittingly forcing Nalan Ling to sacrifice her body to become the pill for her, so that her body could recover and her strength could increase.
Although she was no longer sentimental, she seemed to go mad whenever she recalled that past.
The Xie family head seemed to be provoked by something, and she said hysterically, "Perhaps I went mad when I learned that I had a part of the demon blood and the mission I was entrusted with when I was a child."
"Of course, your grandfather was also a madman. I was not allowed to have any favorite things growing up. If I had a favorite food, your grandfather would force me to eat it until I was tired of it. I once had a pet, but just because I liked it, your grandfather killed it and even stewed its meat for me to eat. What could I do?"
"I've already been very kind to you."
