Chapter 294 - A Legend (1/2)

”There was a legend in our clan...” Aunt Yue started the story in a soft compelling voice.

In that legend, it was specifically said that the pure Bei Yue could activate her power once she mated to her one true love. How could they know whether it was really her one true love or not? It was from the glowing birthmark, of course. The Bei Yue clan had an affiliation with the moon, especially the crescent moon. That was always the symbols of their clan from generation to generation.

If Yao Ling made love with another person and he wasn't her one true love, then the birthmark wouldn't glow. They wouldn't be able to activate her power and their bond and it seemed like this was used to prevent that people would use Yao Ling's body just to achieve his ambition.

Unfortunately, Aunt Yue didn't have the luck to experience that one true love with her current husband. She fell in love once and that person was the clan leader's brother --- the one that supposed to be the clan leader. They had promised to marry each other and make love, but... that person was dead... She had to follow the rules and marry the next clan leader... that was why there was no mutual love between Aunt Yue and her husband.

”So... if yesterday I hadn't made love to my husband, did it mean even if I touched the symbols on the front gate... nothing would happen?” Yao Ling asked.

Aunt Yue nodded and answered, ”Precisely!”

Yao Ling nodded her head, feeling amazed. ”Grandmother... why are the symbols are put on the front gate? What's the purpose?”

Aunt Yue answered, ”I needed to build the exact same gate like the one at the clan, so it will be easier for me to adjust with my life here. That gate was the symbols of our clan, besides... I hope that one day my successor would appear... It was just wishful thinking on my part, but who knew that I could be so lucky and you appeared!”

Aunt Yue had lost hope a long time ago, but it seemed like fate still wanted to bring them together. The Bei Yue clan wouldn't perish here...

Yao Ling was able to see how Aunt Yue missed her homeland and her people, but it was understandable. Without that kind of hope, any sane people would become crazy if they were imprisoned for such a long time.

”Grandmother... what do you mean by bond?” Yao Ling almost forgot to ask this question.

”Hmm... it can be said that you can feel it in your heart when the other is in danger. However, I'm not too sure myself... I don't have the luxury to bond with my one true love. Your father probably knows about it better,” Aunt Yue said sadly.

”Rong Qiu doesn't have the power like us because he's a man. The legacy of the power can only be inherited by a woman descendant, however... the bond was still there... I supposed you should ask him when you are able to meet him in the future. Or... you can explore it by yourself...” Aunt Yue explained everything and Yao Ling started to understand her father's irresponsible behavior.

”Father did that... because of the bond, right?” Yao Ling asked confidently. There was no other explanation, but this!

Aunt Yue nodded. ”Indeed... maybe the bond makes them couldn't bear to be apart from each other, maybe because he was able to feel that your mother was in danger. Your father never explained anything to me... That's the reason why I told you that I'm not really sure about it myself.”
