"Ah-Xi, please don't leave me."
"Don't you like Xiaoyu? What will happen to Xiaoyu if you die? Wake up, okay? After you wake up, I'll give you all my money to manage, how about that?"
Shen Jinchen muttered to himself and kept transferring his internal energy to Cen Xi to cool her down, but no matter what he did or said, Cen Xi's eyes remained closed, her body grew hotter and hotter, and her lips became drier and drier.
Caught off guard, Shen Jinchen glared angrily at Jun Jianchou, who was squatting beside him, and said irritably:
"She was perfectly fine before. What she feared most was you criticizing her and taking your anger out on her. She also cared most about your feelings. But you, when you got jealous, attacked her with those vicious words. Are you satisfied now? Do you think I didn't want to marry her before? It was she who didn't want to, she just never wanted to."
"Jun Jianchou, if she doesn't wake up, I want the entire Shangyang City to be buried with you and her."
"Shen Jinchen, don't think you're so noble. Isn't her current situation with you the result of your cunning and coercion? If you hadn't forced her to like you, she would be living a carefree life even if someone were to harm her."
Jun Jianchou stood up abruptly and was right in front of Shen Jinchen in one move, clearly ready to fight.
"That's enough! As expected, no man is any better. My sister is still lying in bed, half-dead, and you're still arguing? Shouldn't you be saving her first?"
Zhu Yanniang shoved the prescription she had written into Qingyi's hands, then turned around and angrily cursed, "It seems I still have to be upright. No man is any good."
"Want to fight? Get out! In the end, he made his own choice, didn't he? Jun Jianchou, didn't you keep saying you'd given up?"
Shen Jinchen glanced at the person on the bed, turned around and went out the door. When he got to the door, he saw Jun Jianchou still in the room, and he couldn't help but provoke him.
"Fine, let's fight! I'm not afraid of you!"
Jun Jianchou, sword in hand, dodged and thrust at Shen Jinchen. The two then quickly engaged in combat, and the scene outside was filled with flashing swords and shadows, a fierce and evenly matched battle.
"Get lost, you're disturbing my sleep. With such a big fuss, do you want the person in bed to die sooner?"
Zhu Yanniang shook her head in disgust, then shouted at the people outside with her inner strength, "Men are all troublesome creatures, and these two are no exception. It's just that I can't beat them. If I could beat them and outsmart them, I would definitely make sure they are buried in peace immediately."
Cen Xi used to be such a carefree girl, but now she's been tormented like this by them. She's utterly trash, the worst of the worst.
After she yelled that, the two men outside seemed to have some real hesitation, and they ran outside with their swords to fight.
Only then did Zhu Yanniang carefully check Cen Xi's pulse. At first, she also thought it was a problem with Cen Xi himself.
So she planned to use gold needles to relieve the pent-up energy in Cen Xi's body. But as soon as she inserted the gold needle into an acupoint, the needle bounced out and shot straight into the wooden stake in the room.
Zhu Yanniang sensed something was wrong, so she used the golden needle to prick several other acupoints, but without exception, they all bounced off and landed in various places in the room.
Seeing this commotion, Jun Xiaoqiao knew that this matter might not be simple, so she quickly asked Zhu Yanniang:
"Flame Maiden, what's going on?"
"It looks like she's been cursed. The person who did this is probably near Shangyang City. I think I saw this thing in an ancient book before. It should be called something like the Soul Returning Curse. If it can't be broken within five days, Cen Xi will explode and die. It's said that her soul will also be imprisoned forever."
Zhu Yanniang wiped the fine beads of sweat from her forehead and spoke with a solemn expression.
It seems someone is plotting against her behind her back; she has misunderstood the two men outside.
"Then what should we do?"
Hearing her say that, Jun Xiaoqiao also became anxious.
"Make those two outside stop immediately. Now is not the time for jealousy and rivalry. We must think of a solution right away."
Zhu Yanniang withdrew her golden needles and said.
“Your inner strength is high, shout at them! It seems that someone really wants Cen Xi dead. She was never such a negative person to begin with. I think someone gave her psychological suggestion before.”
What is psychological suggestion?
Zhu Yanniang always felt that these people spoke strangely; sometimes she could understand them, and sometimes she couldn't.
"I can't explain this clearly right now. You should call those two back as soon as possible."
Seeing Cen Xi's expression, Jun Xiaoqiao felt genuinely worried.
"Okay, sure, let me think about it for a bit!"
Zhu Yanniang nodded, then truly gathered her strength for a moment, and roared outwards with ten layers of internal energy:
“Cen Xi is in trouble. Are you still going to fight? If not, come in quickly.”
Her words had an effect. As soon as she finished speaking, the man in black and the woman in white quickly collected the package and slipped into the house.
Upon entering, Shen Jinchen asked first, "What happened to her?"
"Based on my experience, I believe he has been cursed with a soul-reviving spell. You two are probably more skilled in medicine than I am, so take a closer look yourselves!"
Zhu Yanniang stepped aside to let them see if Cen Xi was really like that.
Upon hearing her words, the two men did not dare to linger for a moment. They immediately sat down on either side of Cen Xi's bed and took her pulse.
"There's no sign of a pulse. You two can try it with acupuncture needles and you'll know."
"Excuse me, she's had a soul separation before. It seems the person who performed the spell before is using the same trick again."
Hearing Zhu Yanniang's explanation, Jun Jianchou instantly understood everything. It seemed that the restraint that person placed on Cen Xi last time still had lingering effects. He was afraid that if Cen Xi became even slightly depressed, he would be able to sense it and then take action against her.
"Has her soul left her body before?"
Hearing Jun Jianchou say this, Shen Jinchen slowly got up and made way for Jun Jianchou, no longer arguing with him. He also thought of some things that he had always had some doubts about before, but now it seemed that everything was explained clearly.
"Yes, she has been schemed against since she was a child. Last time, my master and I joined forces to finally get her soul back to her body. At that time, the person who attacked her was probably only able to imprison her soul because of the limitations of their mental power. If we cannot break this curse in a short time, she may really die."
Jun Jianchou's expression was very solemn. He never expected that the person who had attacked her before would do it again. It seemed that Cen Xi was a great threat to that person, and he had to get rid of her.
Do you have a solution?
Shen Jinchen's eyes were cold and deep as he looked at Jun Jianchou.
"I'm afraid I can't do it all by myself. You're the only one in this room with profound internal strength. I have a book in my room. Can you finish studying it in a day?"
Jun Jianchou looked up at him with a deep gaze. She no longer had the mind to argue with him. Cen Xi couldn't be allowed to get into trouble.
"Try to keep her calm. Where is that booklet in your room?"
Shen Jinchen glanced at the person on the bed and tactfully refrained from picking a fight with her. With Cen Xi in such a state, no amount of resentment would help. The priority right now was to get her A-Xi out of danger.
