Chapter 15 The Witchcraft Boy 14

In the solemn main hall, Qi Zhiping was examining a medical book when he saw Qi Gunan walk in with a pale face. He quickly put down the book and walked briskly to his side.

"Anan, what's wrong?" Qi Zhiping anxiously grasped his hand and took his pulse.

"It's Qi Chen! He's used a curse on me! Father, we shouldn't have kept him alive in the first place! This monster is ruining the reputation of our Holy Medicine Valley! Look at all the harmful things he does every day! He even dares to harm his own cousin! Sooner or later, he'll go crazy and kill everyone!" The pain from the biting made his face contort, and he said through gritted teeth.

Qi Gu Nan's dislike for Qi Chen was not without reason. From a young age, he had heard people in the Valley say that his aunt was shameless and had run away with a man from the evil Wu Valley clan. This matter was spread around in the martial arts world and made him a laughing stock. As a result, he hated his aunt, whom he had never met.

Later, when Qi Chen came to his door, he also disliked this strangely dressed child. He couldn't stand him, so he went to cause trouble for him.

His eyes were particularly cold that day, and then he lost the strength to do anything and fainted. From that day on, he was in a daze every day, weak all over, and couldn't eat anything, as if he were possessed.

If his father hadn't discovered he was under a spell, he might have slowly died later, which made him hate Qi Chen even more, hating this kind of evil and heretical thing.

Because of this incident, Qi Chen's father restricted his freedom of movement and stopped contacting him.

I never expected that after a few years he would grow up and still be so hateful. He took away his medicinal ingredient and even dared to use a curse on him. This person who brought disgrace to the Holy Medicine Valley should not live!

"Where is he now?" Qi Zhiping was also agitated when he heard this.

Although he hadn't interacted much with the child, he was the child of his beloved younger sister. He both loved and hated him. Although the child resembled the man in other ways, his eyes and eyebrows were very similar to his sister's.

He felt compassion, so no matter what the people of Gu said, he still decided to adopt him and give him a stable home. A few years ago, he actually harmed his own child. He couldn't bear to punish him, so he had to restrict his activities. Things were peaceful for the past few years, but he never expected that he would harm his own son again.

He was truly both angry and sorrowful. He had long heard that the people of Wugu were all evil, so Qi Chen, who had Wugu blood flowing through his veins, was ultimately also evil.

Was he wrong to disregard family ties like this? He only wanted to keep his sister's only child.

Qi Zhiping was filled with regret and resentment. He felt sorry for his child, but he couldn't bring himself to actually punish Qi Chen.

"Father, he ran away a long time ago. After he stole my token, I chased after him and he put a curse on me. Now I don't know if he's going to go out and harm other people. Father, if he dares to come back, we must clean up the house! We can't let this harmful thing live!" Qi Gu Nan said fiercely.

"Okay." Qi Zhiping nodded after a long silence.

Qi Zhiping, however, hoped that the child would never come back, so that he would no longer be torn between two options.

Night fell quickly, and the stars twinkled in the darkness. Xu Qiuqiu looked out the window at the sky.

She wished time would pass quickly so she could get to the Hehuan Sect to learn martial arts, yet she also wished it would pass slowly, as she seemed to be somewhat reluctant to part with Qi Chen.

No, why is she being so sentimental? She's not from this world. For her, the most important thing is to complete the quests. The characters in this world are just NPCs for completing quests, so she shouldn't be able to develop any strange feelings for them.

Xu Qiuqiu shook her head, closed the window, lay down on the bed, and closed her eyes to rest.

She had that dream again, and in the dream, it was still the man whose face she couldn't see clearly. He was covered in blood and collapsed in her arms.

She was in great pain in her dream and cried uncontrollably. She heard herself say, "If we could get to know each other again, I would choose to love you."

She heard the man say gently, "Okay, Qiu'er, you must remember that. It's a pity I can no longer wait for you..."

She felt even worse, and Xu Qiuqiu suddenly opened her eyes and woke up.

This dream was different from the previous ones, but it was even more painful than before, like my heart was being squeezed.

What's going on? She hasn't had a dream for many days, and now she's suddenly having this kind of dream again.

It's so strange, who was the person in her dream? Why couldn't she see their face clearly? Although it's said that what you think about during the day, you dream about at night, she didn't think about anything before she went to sleep.

She looked around; it was already broad daylight.

Seeing Xu Qiuqiu clutching her chest, 003 asked with some concern, "Host, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"It's nothing, I just had a strange dream. 003, what does it mean if I keep dreaming about the same person?" Xu Qiuqiu asked.

"Host, do you recognize the person in your dream?" 003 asked, flipping through the Dream Interpretation.

"I don't know her." Xu Qiuqiu thought for a moment. Although she couldn't see her face clearly, no one would call her Qiu'er, so she definitely didn't know her.

"I don't recognize you, host. I've found you! This means you'll have good things to do in the future, and you'll fall in love!" 003 said, looking at the book of dream interpretation.

"Dating can be considered a good thing?" Xu Qiuqiu seriously doubted that 003 was talking nonsense. "And where did you get that conclusion?"

"It's just a dream interpretation book!" 003 said with unwavering conviction. "That's how it's interpreted in the book. Falling in love is great! In the novel, the female lead finds true love, so her happiness level will increase!"

Dating is great. 003 has no other form of entertainment but can watch the host and the second male lead interact daily, just like watching TV. When the host falls asleep, it can only sit there bored. The system space has nothing but a few books, including the Book of Dream Interpretation, which is just what it needs.

"If that's how you put it, then it seems like a good thing." Who could it be?

Seeing its host's trusting expression, 003 felt a great sense of accomplishment. It would slowly become useful!

"Knock knock..." The knocking on the door interrupted Xu Qiuqiu's thoughts.

"Qiuqiu, are you awake?" Qi Chen's voice came from outside the door.

Xu Qiuqiu quickly put on her coat and opened the door.

Qi Chen, who was already dressed, came in with a basin of water and mouthwash.

Xu Qiuqiu suddenly blushed. She had just woken up and hadn't washed her face or combed her hair. She looked very sloppy, and she hadn't even changed her clothes.

She had rushed to open the door because she was afraid of keeping him waiting, and she really hadn't paid attention to her appearance. Now that she saw Qi Chen dressed so neatly, she wanted to disappear into a crack in the ground.

She asked somewhat shyly, "Ah Chen, why did you bring it over?"

Qi Chen found her shy demeanor exceptionally adorable.

Luckily, he stopped the waiter, otherwise other men would have seen her looking so cute.
