Seeing Si Lengyue vomit blood, Qin Liuxi was alard and pressed her fingers onto Lengyue’s pulse, finding it in chaos.
She hurriedly untied the cloth pouch from her waist, took out a bottle from inside, and fed one elixir into Lengyue’s mouth.
Knowing that she was coming to the clan’s land, Qin Liuxi naturally ca prepared with all sorts of life-saving elixirs and talismans, just in case of any ergencies.
Indeed, it proved to be a wise decision, as they were needed now.
Having taken Qin Liuxi’s elixir, Si Lengyue’s breathing beca smoother, and she gave a pained smile: "I’m dragging you down."
She didn’t know what Qin Liuxi had given her, but it lted in her throat and the dicinal power flowed through her ridians, calming her agitated pulse—this dicine must be very precious.
Qin Liuxi said, "Nonsense, you’re affected by this thing." She pointed at the dark yin fetus corpse and said coldly, "Watch avenge you."
She let go of Si Lengyue, took out a piece of yellow paper from her sleeve, and without a brush, she bit her fingertip, driving the blood out with Inner Strength to begin drawing the talisman.
Si Lengyue knew that Qin Liuxi drew talismans fast, but now it was even faster; with her fingertips touching down, afterimages flashed by, and a talisman was completed.
Qin Liuxi slamd the talisman directly onto the yin fetus that was still emitting an evil aura, but that was not the end; she placed another, and yet another.
In just a few breaths, several talismans had wrapped the tiny yin fetus into sothing resembling a dumpling, preventing the evil aura from escaping.
Si Lengyue: "..."
If the yin fetus had any spirit, it probably would be enraged enough to jump out of its skin—this was no way to insult soone, were her talismans free!
"If we dare not to act rashly, we could just use the Five Thunders Talisman and blast it away," Qin Liuxi said, sucking on her fingertip and snorting.
Listening to her childish words, Si Lengyue couldn’t help but laugh.
Only then did Qin Liuxi look at her: "How do you feel? Any better?"
Si Lengyue nodded, "I feel much better after taking the dicine. Just now it was as if I saw the scenes of Gong Xianhu’s sacrifice, that resentful curse vibrating in layers by my ears like drumming, making my Divine Soul feel sowhat unstable."
Qin Liuxi showed a look of regret, "It was my negligence, not expecting that removing this thing and opening it would affect you so much."
"How could you say such things, leaving with no self-respect?" Si Lengyue chided. "Finding this Blood Attraction is sothing my ancestors couldn’t achieve in a hundred years; you’ve done sothing amazing."
Qin Liuxi wasn’t smug and said, "Gong Xianhu used this yin fetus as the Blood Attraction and the soul as a sacrifice; just finding it doesn’t an the curse is broken. She’s truly cruel—this yin fetus has your Si family’s bloodline, but also hers. Using her own flesh and blood to attract, she’s willing to kill a thousand enemies at the expense of losing eight hundred of her own. The divine wrath she faces will be even more severe. The Blood Curse has existed for a hundred years—it’s not in vain."
Si Lengyue said, "The Holy Daughter also said that Gong Xianhu, from an inconspicuous village girl step by step cultivated into the Black Witch Saintess. Apart from her exceptional talent, she also has a ruthless side. She’s harsh on others and even harsher on herself."
"Such a pity to lose it all over a pretty boy. Tsk, n are unreliable."
Suddenly, a gust of fierce wind blew by, mixed with an evil spirit.
Si Lengyue, who was still feeling a bit awkward, exclaid: "!"
If the dead could talk, they would be infuriated enough to return from death with vigor.
Si Lengyue pressed her lips together and looked at the wrapped talismanic dumpling, asking, "Now that we’ve found this Blood Attraction, does it an the sacrificial talisman array is broken?"
"This Blood Attraction is the Array Core; once the core is broken, the Array is destroyed, but it does not an the Blood Curse is broken. After all, the sacrifice has been completed, and the curse has taken effect," Qin Liuxi said. "Finding this thing is just half of the success. Breaking the curse should be easier now. Why don’t you check if there’s sothing different about you?"
Si Lengyue shook her head: "Being close to it has made my Divine Soul feel even worse."
Qin Liuxi asked, "Did you fall down the mont I touched it?"
"When you went to fetch it, it felt like I was being scorched by flas, it was terribly uncomfortable."
Qin Liuxi was surprised. She did sense the discomfort from the evil aura, which was why she summoned the Karmic Fire, but even Si Lengyue felt like being burnt by fierce flas.
She looked at the talismanic dumpling, her eyebrows frowning. Was it because they shared a common bloodline, resulting in sympathetic suffering?
This curse...
Qin Liuxi felt as if sothing had flashed across her mind, but it was too quick to catch.
"Let’s leave this place first. This thing has been here for a century; this palace has long beco a Hidden Yin Formation. Staying here for too long is bad for your health," Qin Liuxi said, sowhat disdainfully trying to pick up the talismanic dumpling.
Si Lengyue said: "Don’t touch it."
She pulled out a large handkerchief from her bosom and passed it over.
Even though the yin fetus was wrapped in a talisman, it wasn’t very big; after all, it was only five or six months into developnt. It could be fully wrapped in the handkerchief and tied with a knot.
Qin Liuxi picked it up by the knot with her finger and swung it as they left the valley together with Si Lengyue.
"Where do we go now?" asked Si Lengyue.
Qin Liuxi glanced at the sky and said, "This is the area of Jia County. We’ll enter the city and check the villages to see if we can borrow a carriage. It’s only a two-day journey through Jia County to Xiangnan. We’ll go straight to the Wu Clan to see what they think about this Blood Curse."
"Taking the Yin Road?"
"Due to the evil aura you absorbed in that valley, and with your heart ridian also disturbed, it’s not good to take the Yin Road again lest your Divine Soul becos more unstable," Qin Liuxi shook her head and said, "We’ll go to Jia County and hire a carriage there."
Si Lengyue followed her advice.
Qin Liuxi and Si Lengyue walked side by side on the official road. "When we ca here, we should not have just taken the Yin Road for convenience. We should have found a couple of horses. Now we can only rely on walking, which is really a miscalculation."
Si Lengyue chuckled lightly: "Extraordinary people use extraordinary thods."
Qin Liuxi also giggled, her ears twitching as she said, "However, we could hitch a ride on the way."
"Hmm?"
Qin Liuxi and she walked for a while before they heard the sound of horse hooves behind them. They stopped and turned around to look.
Two carriages approached, with a few guards dressed in short outfits riding horses in front and behind. Seeing Qin Liuxi and her, soone spoke to the person by the carriage.
The carriage didn’t pause and drove directly past them.
Si Lengyue raised an eyebrow and looked at Qin Liuxi with a teasing smile: "Hitching a ride?"
The carriages didn’t even bother to stop.
Qin Liuxi thought: How the world has changed, can’t a woman even stop a carriage?
In the carriage ahead, a thin and pale-looking man was being incessantly nagged by another man in the sa carriage.
"Those two girls, at first glance, are delicate won. Giving them a lift wouldn’t have hurt. You just drove straight past them. Don’t you know how to be chivalrous towards ladies?"
The thin man snorted coldly: "The two ’delicate won’ you speak of, traveling alone on the official road, either have substantial strength or are bait released by others. Chivalrous towards ladies? Xiong Er, have you forgotten the ti you were tricked because of your so-called chivalry?"
The man called Xiong Er glared angrily: "Jing Xiaosi, just because you’re sick doesn’t an I won’t lay a hand on you, haughty thing. We shouldn’t point out each other’s weaknesses. Those two girls, their small fras aren’t enough for one slap from . Hey, I just don’t believe it. I’m always this unlucky, eting female tigers every ti. Lao Jiang, stop the carriage."
