Letting out a faint sigh, Li Jia began to speak, her voice low and hesitant, as if piecing together fragments of painful memories. "Uh... where should I start first?"
With a thoughtful look, she began to speak "She is actually from an Evil sect called 'Coven of Black Hearts'."
"And, believe me, she's a sadistic monster. A real piece of work. She... she actually enjoys the pain of others. It's as if other people's suffering fuels her in some sick way."

"Ever since we were young, she has been like that, but at the same time, she also cared for me."
"Even after our mother's death, she took care of me sometimes..."
"After our mother passed, she was everything to me... the person I wanted to trust. I had no one else to turn to, and she knew that. I think she enjoyed how dependent I was on her, even as she fed off my suffering."
Her eyes darkened as she continued "After we became cultivators, we joined a sect close to our hometown... however, she was later taken in by this evil sect."
"For a person with a twisted personality like her, it was the best place."
"I don't know much about the Sect she was in, but since then she started... well, tormenting me. Beating me for her own amusement, drawing out my pain, saying it was good for my cultivation, or some twisted nonsense like that."
"She got crueler and colder."
"I remember when she first put that seal on me. She told me it was a bond, something that would keep us tied together forever."
"I believed her. I had no idea it was actually a curse that would erode my heart and tether my will to hers..."
"You saw the veins just now. This is the final stage of that seal she placed on me.. 'The Asher of Rot."
"It is like a slave seal, whenever I think of disobeying her or doing something which is not in her interest, it twists my heart.. giving me immense pain."
"She enjoys seeing other people in misery."
"I caught her once with my father's friend, seducing him like one of those men she used and discarded. It... it destroyed me." Her voice broke, and she wiped away a tear.
"But the worst part is, she manipulated even my father. He was a good man who worked hard after our mother's death, and yet she turned him into her prey, too. She used her charm to hypnotize him and killed him later on."
"And this seal on me.. so I won't reveal about her to anyone."
Letting out a sigh, she spoke "Until now, it was all a part of her plan... made me befriend you. And she befriended you through me... making you fall for her."
"And.. today, while I was standing outside my room waiting for her, I saw you and her entering your room. I was surprised that things between you escalated too quickly."
"I... rushed here to warn you, but the seal acted upon me and caused this. I would have died there... but somehow, I pushed through it and reached here."
After hearing the explanation, Zhao Tian sighed in his heart as he couldn't believe that Li Xueyan manipulated him so well, acting so innocent.
She really deserves an Oscar award for her acting 'Fuck...'
He scratched his head in irritation and Li Jia looked at him "I know how she acts.. she acts like a vulnerable woman, that will make you feel pity for her..."
"She had done this many times in the past, either tricking them with her acts or hypnotizing them with her charm."
As she spoke, she remembered something and spoke "Tian, from now on you should be careful in the sect.. because she is not the only one within this sect who is from the Coven of Black Hearts."
"There are many other disciples, mingling among others..."
