Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 451: The Clan of Celestial Masters’ Sinful Debt

Chapter 451: Chapter 451: The Clan of Celestial Masters’ Sinful Debt

Although she didn’t know what awakening truly meant, from that very moment, she could feel an indescribable power flowing through her bloodline.

Timothy Jennings sighed and then brought up another topic.

"Selie, do you know what the ancestral debt of the Clan of Celestial Masters is?"

Selena Kensington honestly shook her head.

Timothy Jennings continued, "In the Ancient Times, the Clan of Celestial Masters made a grave mistake."

"We always thought the appearance of Fell Beasts was meant to bring chaos to the human world, to annihilate humanity. But later we discovered that many of the great fierce and demonic beasts were actually nurtured by nature’s spiritual energy."

"Most of them bear the cause and effect of the Divine and are acknowledged by the Heaven and Earth Laws."

"Yet the continued provocations and attacks by the Clan of Celestial Masters angered them."

"As more and more Fell Beasts were killed, The Beast Lord was enraged."

"Facing countless Celestial Masters, The Beast Lord led innumerable Great Demons and personally slaughtered most of the elites from the Clan of Celestial Masters, and laid down a curse."

"In ten thousand years, a female Celestial Master would be born, bearing The Beast Lord’s mark, to become a sacrifice offered to quell The Beast Lord’s wrath."

Upon hearing Timothy Jennings mention the latter part, Selena Kensington instinctively touched the birthmark on her waist.

Later, Timothy Jennings’ gaze fell upon her hand at her waist.

"Today, ten thousand years have passed, and the birthmark on your waist is The Beast Lord’s mark."

Something unbelievable flickered in Selena Kensington’s eyes.

Was she the sacrifice?

Timothy Jennings sighed, "Selie, this is the ancestral debt of the Clan of Celestial Masters, which was never meant to fall upon you."

"That’s why grandmother and the others sealed the Heavenly Master Bloodline and memories within you, because only when your bloodline awakens will The Beast Lord’s mark reveal its true form."

"...Its true form."

Selena Kensington murmured, instinctively lifting the edge of her clothing slightly, then widened her eyes.

The birthmark, originally like a cinnabar mole, had transformed into a vivid, bloodline-like scar.

"The Beast Lord swore by his own blood, turning the mark into a scar of his blood."

Timothy Jennings spoke.

Selena Kensington looked at him, her gaze determined, "The Beast Lord... is Qiongqi?"

Timothy Jennings met Selena Kensington’s gaze; in her eyes was shock, surprise, determination, but not an ounce of retreat.

He smiled slightly, for indeed, that was his cousin.

Beautiful, powerful, strong.

"Yes, to be precise, it is the current Sterling Norwood."

Timothy Jennings straightforwardly admitted.

"When in Aethelgard, I met him once."

"I originally thought that he didn’t execute you immediately because he wanted to slowly torment you, to make the Clan of Celestial Masters atone for their sins."

"But I never expected that he fell in love with you."

"The Beast Lord, who once laid down the curse, fell in love with his own sacrifice and made her his wife; isn’t that unbelievable?"

Timothy Jennings asked.

Selena Kensington didn’t answer him.

She was still in a daze.

Timothy Jennings continued speaking.

"Although I don’t know what he used before to keep his bloodline’s awakening in check, preventing himself from harming you."

"From this, I can see that he truly loves you."

"Later, I tested your attitude, and then I made up my mind. I returned to the Rivers Family to consult ancient texts, and, following guidance, came to the Celestial Vein of Mount Nimbus, continuously searching through the books in the stone walls."

"Rest assured, I’m close to finding a solution."

"By then, not even curses or the shackles of the mundane can stop you both."

Selena Kensington widened her eyes slightly.

Suddenly, she recalled the many times when Sterling Norwood suppressed the brutality and murderous intent within him, and when he appeared before her with a pale face.

She had thought he was simply overworked, never realizing there was such a reason behind it.

Selena Kensington’s voice carried a hint of bitterness and hoarseness, "Am I... Am I finding this out too late?"

Timothy Jennings shook his head slightly, "No, Sterling Norwood and I agree."

"We will not risk you before finding a complete solution."

"Before you arrived, I was constantly worried, fearing that the Celestial Vein might not accept you."

"Yet I misunderstood; our ancestors have recognized their mistakes and are seeking divine forgiveness, that’s why you’ve come."

Selena Kensington asked, "Why?"

"If the curse laid down by The Beast Lord isn’t dispelled this time, the karmic cycle will continue until the Clan of Celestial Masters has fully repaid its debt."

Hearing Timothy Jennings say this, Selena Kensington’s eyes widened.

Karmic cycle?!

So...

She reincarnated because of the karmic cycle?!

In her past life, she and Sterling Norwood completely missed each other, so karma had brought her back to the past.

Was that how it happened...

Selena Kensington bitterly smiled in her heart.

There was a hint of acidity and bitterness in her eyes.

How many foolish things had she done in her past life!

Recalling now, Selena Kensington wished she could drag her past self out for a harsh scolding.

No wonder she saw that scene after her death; perhaps it was all destined.

Even though the path ahead is arduous, like a moth flying into the flame, nothing can stop my love for you.

Selena Kensington asked again, "What solution are you seeking?"

Timothy Jennings took a deep breath.

"You must know that when Sterling Norwood moved you from the position of sacrifice to his wife, it already went against the curse, and the risks they would bear afterward are unknown."

Surprise flashed in Selena Kensington’s eyes, and she suddenly recalled a previous fortunate coincidence.

She was almost crushed by a crane.

Everything seemed like an accident, but after explaining it to Sterling Norwood, he still didn’t relax but became even colder.

At that time, Sterling Norwood might have already sensed it.

The risks they have to bear had already begun.

"Furthermore, the Heavenly Master Stele’s acceptance of you indicates that your two bloodlines can coexist."

"But Selie... if you become pregnant, the newborn bearing Qiongqi’s primal instinct to plunder would crazily attempt to raid the Heavenly Master Bloodline in you; at that time, you wouldn’t be able to bear it."

When Timothy Jennings said this, Selena Kensington’s brows furrowed tightly.

No wonder Sterling Norwood had always been cautious, ensuring safety measures were in place and never mentioning children.

Selena Kensington initially thought he wasn’t used to having a newborn in the family, but hearing Timothy Jennings’ words, she finally realized.

He only wanted to keep her safe.

The previous Ladies of Norwood had not experienced such situations, likely because they were ordinary people.

But Selena Kensington was different. The Heavenly Master Bloodline within her was the deadliest yet most tempting thing for Sterling Norwood.

And the newborn, unaware yet driven only by its instinct to plunder, craved the Heavenly Master Bloodline even more.
