"A curse?" Li Fusheng guessed.
The Dragon Vein certainly lacked consciousness; it was merely a concentrated mass of pure energy. Yet, one could never be entirely certain. His family's ancestral records had documented several related matters. It was said that the descendants of the fellow who had slain the Dragon Vein back then had also suffered heaven's wrath, nearly facing total extinction of their lineage. Rather than calling it a curse, it was more like bearing a karma so immense that their descendants simply could not withstand it.
Moreover, the sealing of the Dragon Vein in the Shinobi World likely involved massive karma as well. But the question was: why were the husbands of successive queens the ones to suffer? If karma existed yet could not affect the queen herself, it began wreaking havoc on her in-laws instead? That made absolutely no sense.
