The general was utterly astonished when he saw this.

She pointed to the person on the ground who was slowly opening their eyes, "They're awake! They're awake! They're actually awake!"

"What's going on with me?" The person who slowly woke up looked completely bewildered.

The general quickly stepped forward to help the man up and began to explain.

"You're cursed."

"But don't worry now, your curse has been broken."

"What? My curse is gone?" The man exclaimed in surprise as he got up from the ground.

The body that had shriveled up seemed to be gradually becoming fuller.

"Haha, my curse is gone."

"Haha, my curse is gone, it's gone!"

The man laughed happily.

Shi Yu waited until he finished being happy before asking the question.

"Do you remember how you got your curse?"

The tiny baby spoke with a serious expression.

Seeing the extraordinary demeanor of the people around Shi Yu, the man dared not be negligent and carefully recalled the situation before answering.

"I was infected by someone else."

"I have never left the city."

"Oh, I remember now, my neighbor is always out and about."

"He must have infected me."

"And he went out for a while and suddenly became rich, and even paid back the money he had owed my family for several years."

"Oh, right, he also gave me a piece of gold."

As he spoke, the man took out a piece of gold from his person and respectfully handed it to Shi Yu.

When Shi Yu saw the gold, her dark, beautiful eyes instantly darkened.

【Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap…】she couldn’t help but scream in her heart.

"Isn't this my gold?"

【Hmph!】Shi Yu was quite annoyed.

Who stole my house?!

【Aaaaaah... I'm going to kill him!!!】

Gua66 quickly came out to soothe Shi Yu's emotions.

【Yuyu, don't be angry!】

This is just the beginning.

There are many other people who steal from you, not just this one.

The secret here can probably only be solved by going to the islands in the sea.

Shi Yu clenched her little fingers and quickly quieted down.

Once we've sorted things out here, we'll head to the islands in the sea.

I want to see just who's so powerful as to steal my things.

Then, Shi Yu instructed the general to gather all the people in the city.

She stood on the high platform and spoke to the people below.

"This curse is because you took what you shouldn't have taken."

"Now, all you need to do is hand over what you shouldn't have taken, and I, the princess, will naturally lift the curse on you."

As soon as Shi Yu finished speaking, the people below began to whisper among themselves.

"What kind of princess is this? She's just a little baby. Can you believe what she says?"

"Can she break the curse? I think the old man with the air of a hermit is more capable."

"I didn't take anything I shouldn't have, so don't come looking for me."

Hearing the whispers below, the Imperial Advisor quickly ran out and spoke.

...

“Don’t underestimate the princess just because she’s young; her skills are far superior to mine.”

"Hand over whatever you took immediately."

“There are sacred objects inside the city to ward off evil spirits, so the black energy can’t get in at all.”

"This curse was caused because you took what you shouldn't have taken."

“These things that you shouldn’t have taken include the gold and silver jewelry that you suddenly received.”

"Don't think that it's a windfall. It's all because people in other countries are suffering, and then the blame is shifted onto you."

"You don't want to lose your lives for material wealth, do you?"

...

After the old imperial advisor's persuasion, and with the person who had just had the curse lifted coming out to testify, the people of the entire city finally believed it.

Shi Yu specially arranged for several recycling stalls to be set up.

After everyone had handed over their belongings, she began setting up the magic array in the courtyard arranged by the general that evening.

However, Shi Yu was indeed not very familiar with magic arrays.

After setting it up for half a day, it only has a rough outline.

She looked at what was in her hand, outwardly calm, but inwardly she was already roaring.

Who invented magic circles anyway?

"I am a great demonic dragon from the abyss, and I've always solved problems with force."

However, without setting up a magic array, it would be too slow to have them come to us one by one.

Oh well, I guess I'll just have to accept my fate.

Just as Shi Yu was thinking this, Jiang Yingxue suddenly walked up to him.

She naturally squatted down in front of Shi Yu.

"Little Yuyu, do you need my help?"

"I usually study magic arrays quite a bit, maybe I can help you."

"You?" Shi Yu looked up at Jiang Yingxue.

Just as she was about to refuse, Gua66 in her mind immediately started shouting.

[Yu Yu, Yu Yu, let her help!]

Her magical abilities are indeed superior to yours.

"Who are you saying is better than me?" Shi Yu got angry and punched the head of Gua66 in her mind.

【I'm really awesome too, okay?】

[It's just that I'm a lazy person and don't like to do things myself.]

Having just been punched, Gua66 immediately continued following Shi Yu's words.

Yes, yes, Yu Yu is the best.

But how can we do this ourselves?

These kinds of trivial matters should be left to ordinary people.
