"She is my sin."
"She is your daughter?"
Though Big Cat was still speaking in riddles, Lu PingAn was no fool. He quickly thought of the most likely possibility.
When he met that girl's eyes, Lu PingAn was reminded of the first time he had seen Kerdales, and how stunning she had been.
Beneath that dazzling golden hair and ascetic nun's robes, with those calm, lake-colored eyes, Lu PingAn felt that the girl calling herself Xiao Zhi was like Chris's past.
Or, to put it another way, Kerdales was like Xiao Zhi's future gone wrong.
"No. I have no descendants."
Her calm words carried resolute determination.
"Can't have them, or don't want them?"

Low-level curses had limited effect on High-Level Professionals. Aside from Self-Curses, High-Level Professionals could often obtain true freedom.
But there was one kind of curse that could not be refused.
"Source Curse."
A curse's strength came from its source. Rule-level beings could resist and ignore Law Decree-level curses, but there was one kind of curse that was likely impossible to resist forever.
".Those who trace life back to its source are destined to have no descendants."
Under normal circumstances, they could not produce offspring naturally, because the one who bestowed the curse was the root of all things.

Big Cat had completely confused Lu PingAn, hesitating and refusing to say what she meant.
"I'll just ask her directly and reveal my identity."
"She'll kill you."
There was not the slightest hesitation in those words.
Yet
