Chapter 156: The Origin of the Curse 4
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Lian Yi was already unhappy that she could only be a concubine. Now that Su Yin didn’t even let her in, making her a kept woman that was only hidden in the closet, the hatred in her heart could be imagined. Of course, she didn’t hate Duo Benli, but Su Yin.
In her opinion, it was all because of Su Yin’s shrewish and unreasonable behavior that made her an existence that could not be seen in the light. Therefore, whenever she had the chance, she would speak ill of Su Yin in his ears.
The power of pillow talk was still very strong. As time went on, Duo Benli’s dissatisfaction with Su Yin also grew. He even felt that Su Yin kept suppressing him by relying on the Golden Gu King.
Finally, Duo Benli made his move. A great man had to be ruthless. Not only did he want the Golden Gu King, but he also wanted Su Yin’s life. Because he knew his wife very well, and he also knew that if he didn’t get rid of Su Yin, she wouldn’t let him off in the future.
Therefore, taking advantage of Su Yin’s trust in him, he directly poisoned her food.
Actually, when he suggested taking a concubine, Su Yin had already been on guard. She knew very well that he was afraid of the Golden Gu King in her hands, so he would definitely think of a way to cheat her out of the Golden Gu King. She had also been on guard, but she did not expect that Duo Benli was so ruthless. Not only did he want the Golden Gu King, but he also wanted her life.
After discovering that she was poisoned, Su Yin didn’t struggle much or even curse out loud. Instead, she just looked at Duo Benli quietly. There was an indescribable emotion in her eyes, but it was so strange that it made his hair stand on end.
Meeting Su Yin’s gaze, Duo Benli could not help but feel scared. However, he still stood there firmly, looking at Su Yin with a hint of ruthlessness in his
eyes. “Don’t blame me. Blame yourself. You are just a woman, but you are so powerful. Everyone says that you should take credit for my achievement today.
As long as you are alive, no one will be able to see my efforts. So, go to hell! Only when you die will those people know that even without you, I can still unify the southern boundaries.”
By the end of his sentence, his eyes had already turned red, as if he was venting his dissatisfaction.
Over the years, as the village grew stronger, his mind had long changed. He couldn’t accept that he had always been suppressed by a woman. He didn’t want to listen to the discussions of those people outside that his current achievements were all because of women. Since he had long been strongly dissatisfied with Su Yin, the appearance of Lian Yi was just a fuse.
“Hahaha…” Instead of getting angry, Su Yin laughed until tears came out. “I never thought that as a clever woman, my downfall was a man, my husband. Sure enough, love is not worth my trust! Duo Benli, without me, do you think you can continue to rule half of the southern boundaries?
Su Yin looked at Duo Benli with disdain. She felt that she had been blind to fall for such an ingrate! He had nothing good other than a pretty face.
“I will unify the entire southern boundaries and become the only ruler, the only king.”
Meeting Su Yin’s disdainful gaze, he could not control the bloodlust in his heart. He reached out and pinched Su Yin’s chin forcefully. He gritted his teeth and said, “It’s a pity that you won’t be able to see such a grand occasion.”
Blood kept flowing out of Su Yin’s mouth, and her consciousness began to blur. In the end, she took a deep breath and said with all her might, “Duo Benli, I curse you in the name of the descendants of the Sorcerer Tribe, the entire village to be trapped in this small place for generations to come. From today onwards, anyone in the village who is over 20 years old will immediately die as soon as they are 100 meters away from the village.”
Soon after, Su Yin breathed her last under Dduo Benli’s horrified gaze.
After Su Yin passed away, the entire village could only be trapped here for generations. Of course, there were also some who did not believe in evil and wanted to leave. However, none of them survived after that.
However, the people in the village could still leave, but they had to rush back before their 20th birthday. Otherwise, the 20th birthday would become the death anniversary.
After looking through all the murals, Ye Leng’an shook her head with a smile.
“I didn’t expect there to be such a melodramatic story! However, I feel that Su Yin was already merciful. She actually allowed these people to leave this village before they turned 20. If it were me, I would make them trapped in this village since they were born.”
This explained why there were so many modern technologies in this village. They must have been brought back by those people when they went out before turning 20. However, because there was no signal in the village, there was no communication device.
“You are wrong.” After listening to Ye Leng’an’s words, Huangfu Ruiling shook his head. “After seeing the prosperity outside, they are forced to come back here again. Isn’t that a crueler punishment?”
If they were trapped in this place since they were born, then although they yearned for the outside world, their desire would be limited. However, it would be the cruelest if they had to return to this isolated place at a young age after seeing the outside world.
After seeing the thriving outside world, without having the time to fully enjoy it, they were forced to return to simplicity. Few people could accept such a difference, but they had no choice but to accept it because the price of not accepting it was to lose their lives.
Ye Leng’an immediately understood and nodded her head. “You’re right. It looks like it’s really killing people! Although Su Yin did not kill them, this made them feel worse than death. It was no wonder that these people were trying everything they could to break the curse.”
But that did not mean that these people could kill the innocent. Moreover, in the end, the people in this village were not innocent. It was their ancestors’ fault that they were trapped here. And now, killing so many young girls was their sin.
Huangfu Ruiling continued to look at the murals. “There is no way to break the curse in the murals.. Where did these people get the idea of using sacrifices to break the curse?
