The Royal Secret

To be completely honest, He Qing did not have a comprehensive understanding of the curse, but she knew the gist of how it came by.

According to her explanation, Jade Dragon City used to be classified as a large country. However, fifty years ago, following the death of the nation's Rank 5 guardian beast, the Jade Dragon Kingdom went on a steady decline and was demoted to a mere intermediate country.

It was during this period that the curse started in her family.

"Uncle Lu, I don't know much about it either. I remember ever since I was a young girl, I've been told that the curse would pick a girl from our family and whoever was chosen must shoulder the curse's burden. They told me that it was to ensure the stability of our nation's foundation. In other words, if the curse was ever broken, the Jade Dragon Kingdom would be in trouble," He Qing said gravely.
