1186: Purely a Hearth

Purely a Hearth

Her words made Tang Luo's eyes widen, "More miserable?"1

"Right," Xia Xibei nodded. "I asked Lu Xiaohang before, and he told me about the Han family's situation. The girls of the Han family are great Hearths. If they cultivate, they can be more useful afterwards."

The girls of the Han family were used as Hearths. Although not everyone had such a physique, it would bring more benefits.

If they were Hearths, the Han family would make them cultivate. By improving their abilities, they would be of greater use later.

That way, they could last quite a long time even if they were Hearths. 

However, their life span would be significantly impacted if they were used as Hearths. 

The Han family had had several generations of Hearths, but their longest life span was only around 50 to 60 years.

That wasn't very short in fact. The problem was that they could have lived up to 70 to 80 years if there had been no accidents.

Moreover, if they cultivated normally, living for a hundred years wouldn't be a dream.

After being used as a Hearth however, their life expectancy would be discounted!

How scary was that?

"If she was forcefully used despite not being a Hearth of the Han family..." Xia Xibei's lips curled into a small smile, "I think her life expectancy will just keep getting shorter,he may have less than ten years to live." 

"Ten years?!" Tang Luo drew a sharp breathe. That figure was too terrifying!

"Right," Xia Xibei nodded. "Of course, this is only my preliminary judgment, it can't be taken as the final say. But what's certain is that her health will just keep declining."

Tang Luo frowned, "Hmm... Perhaps Han Qin will compensate her a little!"

They would probably give a little compensation to the Hearths.

After all, the better the Hearth's physique, the longer they could be used.

Xia Xibei, however, shook her head, "I think you may have guessed it wrong."

"Hmm?"

"I don't think Han Qin will give Zhang Yiqi any compensation," Xia Xibei sneered. "Didn't you pay attention to Han Qin's expression?"

"What?"

"His eyes were always on other people. He didn't treat Zhang Yiqi as his girlfriend, but purely a Hearth. Besides, he has what it takes to get any girl he wants, so why would he only get attached to one girl?" 

Once again, Tang Luo drew a sharp breath. However, she had to admit that Xia Xibei did have a point!

Anyone could tell at a glance that Han Qin was a playboy, and he certainly would not be devoted to a woman.

Sure enough, it was even less possible for him to be loyal to a Hearth.

After all, in his opinion, she was an object rather than a living person.

After they became useless, Hearths could be replaced whenever he liked! 

Tang Luo had an inexplicable expression on her face, "Hmm..."

Although it was true that she hated Zhang Yiqi and didn't want her to live a good life, she had mixed feelings when Zhang Yiqi had to be used, and would live a short life... 

"Okay, you don't have to think about that," Xia Xibei shook her head and comforted her. "You know, even if you tell her, she'll think you're just jealous of her!"

Tang Luo shook her head, helpless, "That's indeed the case. She came over to me today, supposedly to show off."

Hadn't Zhang Yiqi come all the way here today just to show off?

If Tang Luo went to tell her that she was being used as a Hearth… It wasn't difficult to predict how she would react. 

"It's just that Han Qin is too despicable. If he hurts other girls..." 

Tang Luo couldn't help but frown.
