Chapter 329: The Seven Arrows Book Reappears

"Ms. Huo, I, I just recovered, and the curse has caused great damage to my body. I, I'm afraid I can't bear it."

Zhang Ming said with a trembling voice.

Huo Qinghuang frowned slightly: "You have to think about it carefully. Your criminal record is still there. Don't you want to live an upright life?"

"Ms. Huo, you promised me, and I have already done it. You can't go back on your word!"

Zhang Ming became anxious and didn't care about being afraid, he started to argue with reason.

"I didn't say I wouldn't help you, it's just that I have too many things to do and I don't have the time to do it."

Huo Qinghuang curled her lips slightly and smiled faintly: "Of course, if you are not in a hurry, you can wait slowly. After I finish everything, I will help you clear your criminal record."

“…”

Zhang Ming was completely defeated.

He also wanted to go home to see his mother. By the time this young lady was done with her work, his mother's body would probably be cold.

Why!

I don’t know how my mother’s health is now. I hope the Huo family has really sent someone to take good care of her.

"Okay, let's do it, but first, you have to spare my life. I still need to go back to see my mom."

Zhang Ming took a deep breath and agreed as if he was ready to die.

Huo Qinghuang couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"I'm not asking you to die. Don't worry, I have the Spirit Nourishing Pill and the Qi Rejuvenating Powder here. After taking them, they will be enough to support you in casting the curse.

Moreover, once the curse is completed, I will give you another five million, how about that? "

After the intimidation, she began to bribe.

Five million!

Zhang Ming gritted his teeth, feeling torn between his conscience and his desires.

On the one hand, he was afraid of enduring the pain and backlash brought by the curse again.

On the other hand, he did not dare to disobey Huo Qinghuang's orders, not to mention that there were still five million to be taken.

The most important thing is that although the last experience was painful, he didn’t die in the end, right?

Not only did he survive, he also received a reward of 10 million for free.

Ten million!

This was something he would never have dared to think about before.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Ming finally raised his head and said, "Okay, Miss Huo, I promise you. But you must keep your word and give me enough pills. You must also fulfill your promise after the matter is accomplished."

"Don't worry, I, Huo Qinghuang, will keep my word."

Huo Qinghuang glanced at him and shouted to the outside, "Da Liu, go find my second brother and get a few bottles of Yang Shen Dan and Hui Qi San."

Da Liu responded outside the door and then left quickly.

Inside the secret room, Zhang Ming took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner tension and fear.

Having come to this point, there is no way out.

Since you have chosen to agree, you have no choice but to go ahead with it.

Huo Qinghuang glanced at him and said in a slightly more gentle tone: "Don't worry, there is only one target this time, and the backlash of the curse will not be as strong as last time."

Zhang Ming nodded and forced a smile: "Thank you Miss Huo for your concern. I will try my best to complete the task."

After a while, Da Liu hurried back with a few bottles of pills.

He handed the pill to Huo Qinghuang and said respectfully, "Miss, here are the pills."

Huo Qinghuang took the pills and handed them to Zhang Ming: "This is the Yang Shen Pill and the Qi Replenishing Powder. Take them first and adjust your condition before starting."

Zhang Ming took the pill, his hands trembling slightly.

I hope I won’t have to meet my grandmother this time.

He took a deep breath, sat cross-legged on the cushion, began to take the pills, adjusted his state, and prepared to... kowtow.

Seeing that he had entered the role, Huo Qinghuang nodded slightly and began to make the straw man.

She moved very quickly, and in no time she had made a foot-tall straw man, wrapped in black cloth, standing on the altar. At first glance, one could get goose bumps.

But that’s not all.

Generally, when casting the Seven Arrows Book, the name of the cursed person will be written on a straw man.

Huo Qinghuang didn’t know the other person’s name, but it didn’t matter. She had a trace of the other person’s aura, and that was enough.

She stretched out her left index finger, and a black ring was clearly visible at the base of her finger.

She stretched out her hand and twisted it gently, and the ring turned into a wisp of black smoke, struggling like a little snake, as if trying to escape.

"snort!"

Huo Qinghuang snorted coldly, pinched the smoke and threw it at the straw man, then made a seal with his hands and pointed a finger at the straw man's brow.

In an instant, the straw man seemed to come alive, and a cold aura emanated from it, scaring Zhang Ming so much that he almost screamed.

"What are you still standing there for? Cast your spell quickly!"

Huo Qinghuang shouted and scolded.

Zhang Ming came back to his senses instantly. He did not dare to delay and immediately knelt down and began to kowtow!

After bowing three times, his face turned pale and he almost fell to the ground.

Why is the backlash so severe this time? It’s completely different from last time!

It's only the first day and the backlash has already begun. Will he still be alive after the twenty-one days?

Zhang Ming was a little confused and felt that he might have been cheated.

"Ms. Huo..."

He looked at Huo Qinghuang pitifully, the desire to survive in his eyes almost overflowing.

"Ms. Huo, this backlash is more serious than you said. I'm afraid I can't hold on to the end. Can you give me some more money?"

“…”

The corners of Huo Qinghuang's mouth twitched slightly.

This guy, it’s already this late, and he’s still thinking about adding more money.

This kind of weird thing is also quite eye-opening.

"Money is not a problem. Take a nourishing pill first, so you don't really die."

She sighed and had to remind him.

Hearing this, Zhang Ming obediently poured out a nourishing pill, put it into his mouth, and waited hopefully for the pill to relieve his physical discomfort.

After a while, the medicinal effects of the nourishing spirit pill began to take effect.

He felt that his head, which had felt like it had been hit by a heavy hammer, was gradually becoming clearer, and the piercing pain in his body was slightly relieved.

Zhang Ming breathed a sigh of relief, his face showing relief at surviving the disaster.

"Ms. Huo, it's not that I'm greedy, it's just that the backlash is too terrible, I'm afraid I really can't hold on.

If you can give me more money, I can leave some money for my mother's retirement even if I die."

Zhang Ming said with a bitter face and pitifully.

Huo Qinghuang rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "Okay, stop talking nonsense. Didn't I just say that money is not a problem?

As long as you can successfully complete this curse, I promise to give you a generous reward.

But if you give up halfway, don't blame me for being rude."

Zhang Ming nodded quickly: "I understand, Miss Huo, I will definitely work hard and persevere, and I will never give up halfway."

After a pause, he continued to ask, "How much will you give me?"

“…”

Huo Qinghuang was speechless and angrily said, "Ten million, is that okay?"

"Okay, okay! Miss Huo, please keep your word this time."

Zhang Ming rubbed his hands happily, as if the ten million had already been in his hands.

With this extra promise, he felt that the pain in his body seemed to be alleviated a little, and his desire to survive became stronger.

Huo Qinghuang shook his head helplessly, secretly sighing in his heart that this guy's greed for money was simply astonishing.

However, she was too lazy to argue with him anymore. After all, Zhang Ming was really fighting for her.
